OK, Lounge - VelmaD has 950-some posts
so let's pick one, tie her up to it, and beat another 50 or so witty replies out of her real quick. We desperately need her in the 4-digit club. So let's get with the clubbing...

Ok, now fess up. You own one of those but do you really use it or do you just pour your syrup straight out of the jar it came in?

5. I haven't had syrup in the time that I have owned the jar!
LOL - but my innate laziness, combined with the fact that I rarely eat anything requiring syrup at home would lead me to guess that I would just leave the stuff in the bottle it came in. :D

I need to get some batter from Kerbey's - their cakes just rock - better than anything I cook up myself. :D

8. Mmm...Kerbey Lane pancakes...
They were totally worth the calories and the ignominy of the "Syrup Incident". Everyone keeps telling me their gingerbread pancakes are even better.

Maybe that's where we should have an Austin get-together sometime.

Can you actually get their pancake mix? Do they actually sell it for use at home?

10. You can buy the batter and other stuff!

The apple whole wheat pancakes rock too! If Will Pitt is interested, I think he'd totally get into Kerbey's - maybe a breakfast Sunday morning.

I wasn't dressing that day in the hopes of having syrup licked off my person.

When you cover me in syrup you can dress (or not dress) me any way you like. :P

yup, maybe once my little counter just reads 1000+ I won't have such a compulsion to reply to every sex-related thread on the board. (Not sure if that'll motivate people to beat me or not.)

As far as pig tails or braids it realy depends on your hair. It all depends on so much ... body type and height and so on.

I must admit to a preference for pig tails but braids are nice too and really only work for some hair types and cuts. I also like bangs on the right girl!

Yum.

Plaid skirts, white shirts and socks, mary janes and pig tails! Give you a piece of chalk and black board and I'm drooling!

the white cotton panties. ;-)

I have really long hair...almost down to my waist. I suppose when you're got a minute you can spend a little time braiding my hair and make a decision. Mmm...nothing like having someone else's hands in your hair...*thud*

Yours is realy only a little longer than mine.

When it's wet, I can use it like a whip!

I must admit that I do like helping my girls look pretty. I'm not very good at braiding hair but I am pretty good at shaving other parts.

Seriously though, I don't worry too much about rude. DUmail me if you'd like. And my AOL IM thingy is turned on in my profile.

A month or two ago I woulda told you to take a hike. But I've met some fun new friends on DU lately so I'm inclined to be more willing to talk to new people.

And that's way too damn serious for this thread. :-)

Will have to be later in the day, I'm, afraid - Velma is going home in order to be able to enjoy more vigorous play. I myself am out to run errands and sweat out some viral lung evil in the steam shower - back around 5 or so Eastern. Hope you guys can manage to have some kinda fun without me around. <sniffle>

We're having a big office lunch to dissect last fiscal year and set goals for this year. But...after that my boss got permission to give us all the afternoon off for a job well done. Woohoo.

So, I will see you all when I get home this afternoon. Lord only knows what trouble we can get into when I'm home and comfy and there's no boss lurking around. :evilgrin:

Y'all be good while I'm gone. ;-)

42. hey *nix weenie,
my last words before heading off to errandland...

find one of velma's posts, and click on the little doohickey thing at the top that looks like a notepad with Simpsonesque "stink-lines" flowing leftward from it (next to the head and the envelope and the sleeping guy who means "ignore"). You'll get a flyover that says "PM this user" or something like that prior to clicking.

She promises me she'll be back here for more fun right after lunch.

Damn, yer in Austin! An Internal Auditor? I do the same thing, kinda. We call it evaluation, more programmatic, less fiscal. Just as entertaining I am certain. I'm looking forward to the Grotto, though looks like its kinda going on here and now today from descriptions. I got a thread here in the lounge that tells how I stumbled here to DU, but mainly just a liberal/progressive type who's been trying to figure out the best of the nine to defeat Bush*. Now I am sucked into this Lounge thing here and can't get out!

67. Why odd?
Most of the folks in my office are pretty politically knowledgable. And everybody votes (or I'd kick their ass). ;-)

It may be a function of where I work. I work for the agency that runs the state juvenile correctional facilities. We have a real mandate to rehabilitate the kids and that translates into an attitude at my agency where a lot of people look at their job almost like a calling. You have to care to work with kids as bad as we get. It's kinda neat. And not what you might expect in the TX kiddie prison system. :-)

My end of Austin ain't bad today. I think it may have rained a little bit while I was at work. (Either that or they've been wattering the parking lot again.) ;-)

Edited on Fri Sep-05-03 03:25 PM by lunabush
not at all. That sifting through information thing makes it pretty endemic to the profession, I'd guess. Juvey Corrections, huh? Have you had any experience with Drug Court stuff? I know Florida does some, haven't heard about TX?

71. I know nothing...
I haven't had any experience personally with the drug court thing. Not sure if TX has drug courts for youth. Not an area we've gone in and looked at while I've been with the agency.

And that "sifting through information" thing is making it REALLY hard to pick a candidate to back for 2004. :-)

61. Yes I did...
and it was YUMMY...mmmmmmmm...

We got out of the van and the smell hit us nearly a block away. When we opened the door it got even better. My stomach was grumbling loud enough to hear it over the kickin' blues music they had playing. :-) And then they handed me my plate and I sat down and had some of the best barbq sausage I've ever eaten in my life. The barbq sauce was pretty damn good too.

Oh, and it we still need a place to do the Will Pitt thing I think you can rent the downstairs room at Stubb's for about 50 bucks (this is according to a guy in my office).

62. I am leaning toward bum rushing Mother Egan's...
...just show up and take the place over!

They have a singer/songwriter thingie at 7:00, but I think that's inside. If so, we'll just congregate outside. Or vice versa!

Plenty of parking along 6th and the side streets; it's easy to find...whaddya think? Just announce it and be done with it?

69. I suppose we could rush 'em...
we're pretty big and I bet we could take 'em out.

Seriously though. My only concern is that we'd get there and they'd be packed and then what would we do. But, since I've never been there what do I know. :-)

If you think it would work go for it and if you need help with someone to go and stake out a spot and look menacing then I'm your girl. ;-)

70. If we get there and they're packed, we can cross the street and go to
Opal Divine's. And, if THEY are packed, we can walk down to Waterloo Ice House, next to Waterloo Records. :-)

There's also Katz' and some other places around there.

73. Mmm...Katz's
Their Death By Chocolate may be the most amazing thing I've ever had in my mouth. :9

74. I'll venture down to Egan's this weekend and talk about it with them.
I might be able to secure a small corner of the patio if they aren't using it. :-)

63. :-(
I eat lunch at my desk almost everyday (ball & chain is usually firmly in place) and I can't leave work early. WAAAA WAAAAAAAAA.

BBQ and Mexican food ... pales in comparison to my mixed salad and yogurt. It pales, I tell you! :-)

65. Don't feel bad..
Edited on Fri Sep-05-03 03:12 PM by VelmaD
this was an extremely unusual situation for my office. Usually it's fruit or a low-cal low-fat frozen dinner and Freecel for me too.

:pals:

72. Hey!
I read about your weight loss (from a thread a couple of days back) -- WOW! Good for you, girl!

I eat salad and yogurt because I like them, not necessarily because I'm dieting. But one reason I eat at my desk is because, if I go out, I eat really fattening food. So it works out better for me if I stay in. Not that I can't sometimes be jealous of my fellow DUers who are enjoying yummy BBQ!

77. I'm about out too...
gotta get in some time in the gym early today before the crowd. Plus it'll free up a little time for 1000th post merriment later.

Have a good one and hopefully we'll see you in the Grotto later.
