Good Friday Morning, Everybody!

[Clintmax]

:donut::hi:
Welcome to this Friday edition of the Captain Clintmax show! I hope you're doing well and staying warm! It's a chilly 39 degrees here in Tallahassee right now, but we're looking for a high of 71 so it's going to warm up nicely as the day progresses!

I am off work today, so I can get some of the errands I've been needing to run completed! :woohoo: I enjoyed "Brokeback Mountain" so much, I may go see it again today, and I'm certainly going to go find the soundtrack to purchase! Do you have any plans for the weekend upcoming?

Song Of The Day: "Brokeback Mountain Theme" by Gustavo Santaolalla

[NMMNG]

1. Good morning Clint!

Gah! Remind me to stay the heck away from GD! :crazy:

[Clintmax]

2. Morning, Miss Buffy!

:hi::hug:
Has it been a mess again? I haven't been in there this morning...what's the problem today?

[NMMNG]

4. Oh, it's actually just one thread in particular

I said something and someone's been on my ass about it forever. :eyes:

Oh well, I suppose it can't all be boobies and beer, eh?

[Clintmax]

11. LOL! Boobies and Beer!

:rofl:
What did you say that's got somebody all up in arms? It musta been BAD. :rofl:

[NMMNG]

17. I didn't think so

But obviously she did. I suggested carefully monitored debates between students with opposing viewpoints and she's acting like I suggested lynching them.

[Clintmax]

21. Well good gods.

That isn't bad. I just don't understand some people. :shrug:

[XemaSab]

6. Why do you love Hitler?

Why, Buffy, why?

/sarcasm

(oh, and I sent you a PM... but I think I also owe an apology. I thought about posting "no flames!" then I decided that might jinx me. :pals: )

[NMMNG]

25. No need, I think I'm holding my own

Sort of. :crazy:

[MissHoneychurch]

3. Good morning Clintmax

:hi:


I am working with the old books again today. So much fun. But sometimes it makes you wanna pull your hair .... oh wiat, I wanna do that the whole time .... :eyes:

[Clintmax]

7. Morning, Miss Honey!

:hi::hug:
I hope work is going good for you today! Working with old books seems like it could be a tedious job. Why would you want to pull your hair all the time? Do you have that much stress, my dear?

[MissHoneychurch]

29. no stress

but really strange entries in the catalog. Sometimes you start with one thing and suddenly you see this very strange entry. Then you try to figure out what went wrong and wooom you have a rats tail correcting a lot more than you inteded to.

And working with books from the 17th, 18th century is everything but tedious.

[Clintmax]

33. Glad of no stress...

But I sure can see where things can get turned around quickly into a mess!

[MissHoneychurch]

37. Oh this catalog gives us work for years to come

sometimes it can get really funny (at least for us who work with the catalog every day). Others might thin we are crazy or whatever.

[Clintmax]

41. There's nothing wrong with having fun at work...

let them think what they want, says I! :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

44. Oh I know what people think of librarians

boring booksworms with no live, dutt and glasses. Gray mice ...


somehow I don't think I fit in this description .... except maybe no life :rofl:

[Clintmax]

46. I hate stereotypes...

I've seen the librarian stereotype you speak of, and I do not subscribe to it and you CERTAINLY do not fit the description, my dear! :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

48. me too

but sometimes one can't help it and you have them anyway. But I try not to.

and thanks :hug:

[Clintmax]

50. I know...but that doesn't mean I have to like it.

And you're welcome! :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

56. Of course not

I don't like it myself.

[Clintmax]

60. We're a pair then.

Do you have lots of snow on the ground there in Germany?

[MissHoneychurch]

64. yes we are

:loveya:


no snow where I am. But then Frankfurt barely gets snow anyway.

Sunday cold weather from Russia is coming to us :scared: <----- cold. The have up to -40°C in Russia right now. But it will be dry. No snow or anything is supposed to come down.

[Clintmax]

69. Wow...that's COLD!

Brrrrr! At least you won't have any snow to deal with. :loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

72. it ain't getting THAT cold here in Germany

but down to -10°C or so I think. That is cold enough for me.

I love snow. It quiets down everything and it looks nicer than everything gray

[Clintmax]

80. I'm glad it won't get that cold...

But -10C still sounds freezing! What temperature is that in Fahrenheit? Do you know?

[MissHoneychurch]

90. 14 degree

I actually only now certain "points"

10°C = 50F
20°C = 68F
30°C = 86F

everything else I have to check on the Internet :)

[Clintmax]

92. Brrrr! 14 is COLD!

:scared:
I'll take my 71 degrees now, thank you!

[MissHoneychurch]

100. Oh I believe you

I guess I can't lure you to Germany right now :)

[Clintmax]

102. If that stupid transporter would work...

I'd be there in just a few seconds! :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

104. beam me up Scotty

:rofl:

[Clintmax]

116. Hey, that's what I would say in an instant!

:rofl:

[Scooter24]

5. Hey CLINT!!

:hug:

*hiccup*

Just getting back from the club! hehe.. and my feet hurt (damn these flip-flops)

This weekend is work for me as I need to catch up on some last minute things for a gig I have next week. But today is my last day of my "mini-vacation" so I'm going to enjoy it by sleeping in and playing on the computer. I've been wanting to set up a myspace page for the longest of time but I haven't had the time so later today would be the perfect opportunity.


Here we are drunk around 2am. :rofl: I look so fat in this picture :(

Edit: OMG! I look awful! lol..but I'll keep it up because the outfit is at least cute :)

[Clintmax]

9. Hail, Scooter!

:hi::hug:
You are just now getting in from the club?! Holey Moley, Dude! Did you know it's after 6AM? What the hells bars are open at 6 in the morning? I can tell, in the picture, that you've had a few to drink, yes. But it also looks like you've had fun! Once you get your MySpace complete, let me know...I'd like to see it, Dude.

[Scooter24]

14. It's only 5am here

The clubs close around 4am with liquor service ending at 2am. We left around 3am, then went to Cafe Brazil for some breakfast, then home :)

I did have a great time, met some cute boys, watched a few boys dance in the cages in their underwear (trying to win a $150 dance contest hehe), and a drunk woman fall down the stairs (she was ok, she was with her husband on their anniversary)

I so would have entered the contest but I didn't have on my sexy undies :rofl:

[Clintmax]

16. Sounds like a fun time!

I haven't been to a bar in a couple of years, and there's nothing like one of those here in Tallahassee. Seeing you dancing in a cage with only your underwear on...now THAT'S something I would have liked to see! :rofl: Sexy underwear or no!

[Scooter24]

20. Those pictures

would probably crash DU's servers but I'd be popular! haha

Think of the children!!! :rofl:

[Clintmax]

22. LOL! I'm sure they wouldn't either...

"Think of the children"...:rofl:

[XemaSab]

8. Morning Clint!

:hi:

[Clintmax]

10. Morning, Xema!

:hi:
Welcome to the Early Morning Crew! How's every little thing?

[XemaSab]

13. Things are okay

I'm up too late, but what else is new? :shrug:

[Clintmax]

19. I always try to get to bed at a decent hour.

Hence my early wake up time. But, I like it that way. Glad things are good with you! Have you seen "Brokeback Mountain" yet?

[XemaSab]

27. There's no word

on when it's coming to Northern California. :eyes:

[Clintmax]

31. Damn...

Although...I'm quite sure it's playing in San Francisco. Or are you in northern northern California?

[XemaSab]

35. Northern Northern

:P

[Clintmax]

40. Hmmm...what can we do to get it up there to you?

Well...I guess I better ask first if you even WANT to see it...

[billyskank]

84. Hi Xema!

:hi:

[Robeson]

12. Morning Clintmax!.....

...Glad you are doing well. I'm going to a party this weekend of about 30 fellow musicians, so it's going to be an all night jam session. Can't wait!....:woohoo:

[Clintmax]

15. Hail, Robeson!

:hi:
An all night jam session, huh? Sounds fun! I have a lot of musicians where I work...college students whose majors are music. They play the trumpet and things...it's interesting to hear them talk about they places they have to go to for auditions and stuff! What instrument do you play?

[Robeson]

18. I play accoustic guitar....

...we'll be doing everything from Miles Davis, to Gomez, to Earl Scruggs, and everything in between and otherwise. It'll be a fun, partying time!

[Clintmax]

23. Wow! I wish I could be there just to listen.

Sounds like a GREAT time!

[Robeson]

24. Yeah, we've even got a friend flying in from Ireland with his dulcimer...

...to join us. I love to play when unconventional instruments are combined into songs. It should be done more often.

[Clintmax]

26. Even better!

Coming in from Ireland with a dulcimer! You need to record this session, Dude! I would LOVE to hear this!

[Robeson]

39. Yeah, my friends house where we will all be jamming, playing, and....

...crashing at, has a sort of in-home studio. So I imagine he will be recording alot of this. It'll be interesting to hear what comes out of it. It's not easy to get a spontaneous jam session out of 30 good mucisians now-a-days, so I'm really looking forward to hearing everyone, and seeing what they all bring. That's the exciting thing....I could care less about myself, it's more about what I can learn from others, and they're probably thinking the same thing, so it'll be a good thing. We've all known each other for years, so there's no ego involved, because we're just as happy to get together and seeing each other, as playing music.....

[Clintmax]

42. Excellent!

Well like I said...I'd love to hear it, Man! I don't know if there will be a way (they would have to be converted to MP3's) but I'm all interested.

[tjwmason]

28. Good morning Clint.

:hi:

How are you today?

Only just managed to drag myself out of bed - and I'm still to get dressed :blush:

YAYS for not working say I.

:hug:

[Clintmax]

30. Hail, TJ!

:hi::hug:
I'm doing splendidly, thank you! If you're just now getting out of bed, then you too must not have to work! :woohoo: YAYS says I also! Have some coffee with me! :hangover:

[tjwmason]

43. Yes - a very good idea

I'm just going to put some coffee on, and maybe grab some breakfast too. Then I'll be much closer to :bounce: though getting the whole way there will take a couple of hours.

[Clintmax]

45. Well, I'll be here with you...

So is it THIS weekend you're going to the theater to see Brokeback?

[tjwmason]

47. Hopefully.

Obviously depends on what other folk are doing.....

[Clintmax]

49. I hope you DO get to!

I think you'll LOVE it! What's for breakfast this morning? I'm thinking pancakes...

[tjwmason]

53. Just some cereal.

Playing around with eggs, flour &c. is just a tad too much for me before I've had enough coffee.

I do occasionally go for the full-English thing, but that is rare.

[Clintmax]

58. I do cereal quite often as well.

I'm not in the mood, most mornings, to work in the Kitchen making something. But once in a while...I just get the urge for a food that takes lots of preparation.

[tjwmason]

73. I find cooking to be very theraputic.

But I'm not quite up for it first thing in the morning (even if that means midday when I'm being lazy).

I utterly refuse to use packet foods - which means that things take longer, but it's always worth it, and besides standing over a pan with a glass of gin to hand, and some glorious music playing - there's little which is more fun to do.

[Clintmax]

77. I've never found cooking to be theraputic...

But most of the time tedious. I have been known to use food from a packet...some of it is OK, but only because I wouldn't know how to make the food from scratch in the first place.

[tjwmason]

82. I was raised learning how to cook.

So it comes fairly naturally - that's probably why I find it relaxing.

Also, my personal theory about food is that if one shows a little bit of love to the ingredients, then they will reciprocate by making themselves taste even more gorgeous.

My main reason for avoiding anything processed is that it tends to be full of hidden salt and sugar - very very unhealthy.

[Clintmax]

86. My eating philosophy is:

"Eat what you want and you'll be all right."

If we listened to everything they say not to eat or drink, we'd either starve to death or die of thirst. You did know that even water is bad for you now, right?

[tjwmason]

91. Oh, I agree totally.

With a slight clarification...

Adding chemicals which are not actually needed is bad, and that includes especially hidden salt and sugar.

I pay no attention to dieticians, they change their minds so frequently.

[Clintmax]

93. Yes, they do!

I can't keep up with them!

[tjwmason]

99. I listen to them when I agree.

I always said that drinking was healthy, and then eventually they decided that it was, so I agreed with them.

[newyawker99]

32. Good morning everyone!

:donut: :hi:

[Clintmax]

34. Good Morning, Miss NewYawker!

:hi::hug:

[newyawker99]

36. Hey!

:hi: :hug:

[Clintmax]

38. How are you doing up there in the Big Apple?

I hope you have a fun weekend planned! :bounce:

[swimboy]

51. Happy Morning, Captain!

:hi: Congratulations on your day off! Have fun running around! My week has been unusual. I hope today at work will be a little calmer as I head toward the weekend. :hug:

[Clintmax]

54. Hail, Swimboy!

:hi::hug:
Thanks, Man! I hope you have a great weekend! Wanna go see Brokeback with me today?

[swimboy]

59. I sure would like that.

But Scotty says the transporter is not working today :cry:

If MissHoneychurch comes over we will have to have a Southeast US meet-up!

[Clintmax]

61. Damned transporter is ALWAYS messed up!

x(
A southeast US meet-up would be fuckin GREAT wouldn't it? :bounce: I'd love that!

[tjwmason]

57. Good morning swimboy

:hi:

Wonderful to see you.

:hug:

[swimboy]

62. Hello, Sleepyhead!

It's wonderful to see you too! :hug: Today may be the "normal" day of the week. Haven't had one of those yet! Is your coffee poured yet? :loveya:

[tjwmason]

65. Yes - the coffee's here.

I'm sitting here watching a politics programme - they're actually seriously discussing whether the Leo Blair kidnap story was planted to distract attention, could there be a more serious endictment of political cynicism - having eaten, and I'm drinking the coffee. :D

How are you? :loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

63. Swimboy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:hi:

[khashka]

70. This ends now!

I've already watched Clint and TJ shmooze up to him..... now MissHoneyChurch? Swimboy is MINE! Mine, I tell you, mine......

This is just a conspiracy to make Khash cry isn't it? OK. You succeeded. Happy now?

He's mine...........


Khash.

[tjwmason]

76. Too late.

:P

We've pinched him from you, and we're sharing him around.

Think of it like a modern re-interpretation of Robin Hood, we're stealing from you (rich in attractive males), and giving to others who don't have as much.

:loveya:

[khashka]

81. I'll forgive you

(because I have to) but the rest of 'em? It's war!

And swimboy better have a really good alibi or he's in big trouble.

Khash.

[tjwmason]

Poor little Khash

Having his latest paramour stolen from him.....

[khashka]

89. Bitch!

I hereby announce that if I did not love TJ I would hate him. He's bitchier than I am (which takes some doing).

We'll see who gets the last laugh when swimboy comes crawling back to me. Just wait......

Khash.

[Clintmax]

94. ROFL!

:popcorn:

[khashka]

105. Oh yeah Clint

light the blue touch paper and retire. Then watch the fireworks.
No can do amigo. You are not getting out of this unscathed.

I already called TJ a bitch (before he had a shower, my bad) and you won't get off any easier.


Khash.

[tjwmason]

110. I take 'bitch' as a compliment

So how are you going to compliment Clint?

[Clintmax]

114. LOL!

All I was saying was that it was TJ, and not I, who said anything about taking Swimboy from you. :rofl:

[tjwmason]

96. That's good to know.

I certainly think that I can be a worse bitch than you - indeed I think that I can be the worst bitch that I know. It's always good to get such a compliment from one's beloved even before one goes to get a shower.

[Clintmax]

79. Don't be jealous, Khash!

You can't have EVERY cute guy for yourself you know! :rofl:

[khashka]

83. I can certainly try!

And aren't you married? Bad Clint!

Khash.

[Clintmax]

88. Yes, I'm married...

I never said anything about wanting him for myself...TJ did. :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

95. sorry ...

didn't know you had dips on him :evilgrin:

and you know I am no danger for you anyway (aren't you luck that I am in Germany :) )

[tjwmason]

97. He doesn't have dibs on him

He just thinks that he does.

He only makes comments like that to provoke a response - you should just tell him that "all's fair in love and war".

[MissHoneychurch]

103. and I thought

it was you he was lending to others. Did he switch you with swimboy?

[tjwmason]

108. His mind runs various fantasies

Trust me, it's impossibly to keep up with all of them - now why don't we have a :megabitch: smiley?

[MissHoneychurch]

120. ...

:rofl:

something like this?

[khashka]

107. I sure as hell do!

He worships the ground I walk on!

And he calls me "sir" - something no amount of arm twisting will ever get you to do.

Khash.

[tjwmason]

109. He calls me 'sir', he calls everybody 'sir'

That just means that he's a Virginian.

But you're damn right, I'll never call you sir - not unless you get a knighthood, and you'd have to become a British citizen (or potentially other commonwealth country) to get a proper one as Americans can only get honourary ones.

:P :loveya: :P :loveya: :P :loveya: :P :loveya:
:loveya: :P :loveya: :P :loveya: :P :loveya: :P
:P :loveya: :P :loveya: :P :loveya: :P :loveya:
:loveya: :P :loveya: :P :loveya: :P :loveya: :P
:P :loveya: :P :loveya: :P :loveya: :P :loveya:
:loveya: :P :loveya: :P :loveya: :P :loveya: :P
:P :loveya: :P :loveya: :P :loveya: :P :loveya:
:loveya: :P :loveya: :P :loveya: :P :loveya: :P
:P :loveya: :P :loveya: :P :loveya: :P :loveya:
:loveya: :P :loveya: :P :loveya: :P :loveya: :P

[khashka]

112. I only have two things left to say

1) OK, swimboy is a cheap little slut who'll "sir" anyone - but he's my cheap little slut, damn it!
2) TJ is a snob. Did I say that loud enough? TJ IS A SNOB!!!!!! But I love him anyway and will share swimboy with him.

Khash.

[tjwmason]

117. He's not a slut - he's just polite.

It's obvious that you can't tell the difference.

As for point 2 - my goodness has it taken you this long to figure that out?

[khashka]

119. Ok

1) I can't tell the difference.
2) I've always known that. It's one of the things I love about you It's also one of the things that makes me want to slap you silly. Same thing really :)

Khash.

[tjwmason]

121. What a charming basis our love has....

:eyes:

[khashka]

122. Oh TJ

you're such a wuss. Can't take even a little violence? I'd kiss it better :)

Ok, I'll try to be nice....

Khash.

[swimboy]

124. I'd like for both you boys to behave

which I carefully distinguish from and don't want either of you to confuse with "being nice". I don't want you doing anything to upset the delicate balance of this beautiful and sordid menage of ours.

I must add, Sirs, that whatever MissHoneychurch and I get up to is our own affair, capisce?

[khashka]

126. Oh. OK. Fine.

He finally shows up to tell us he's having an affair with MissHoneyChurch. That obviously shows good taste. But really! He could have broken the news a bit more nicely.

And don't call me "boy", boy!

Sorry, TJ - all bets are off now - he's a rascal! You can have him.

Khash, hurt.

[tjwmason]

128. Sorry Mr. Swimboy, Sir.

I'll play properly.

Just in case you couldn't tell by my use of the word 'sir' yes, this is dripping in :sarcasm:

[khashka]

129. Oh yeah....

You call him sir with sarcasm. But me? No sarcasm, no irony, no nuthin!

Call me sir and I'm yours. (Well I already am but I'm not admitting to it yet)

Khash.

[swimboy]

132. How pervasive is the sarcasm?

I certainly want you to continue to play. :evilgrin:

[tjwmason]

127. Who says I can't?

I think that it's most charming our slightly odd form of love.

[swimboy]

131. Hello, MissHoneychurch!

It's awfully nice to see you. :hug: You touched off quite a storm this morning.

[Clintmax]

98. I think you need to chime in here, Swimboy!

They're going to come to blows in a minute! :rofl:

[tjwmason]

101. That's what he's hoping.

He just wants to sit and watch us slug it out so that he can mop up the blood and comfort the winner. :evilgrin:

[swimboy]

123. Hello, Clint.

This is quite a spectacle this morning.

:hide:

[Callalily]

52. Good morning Clint!

Had a good time last night and I don't know why, but I'm in a super good mood, lack of sleep and all. Maybe a little down time was just what I needed. Glad to hear that you've got the day off. Be sure you set aside fun-time too!

[Clintmax]

55. Hello, hello, Miss Simply!

:hi:
I'm in a super mood too! Sometimes a little down time is the perfect thing and it sounds like just what you needed! Are you going to do anything fun today or is work the only thing on the agenda?

[Callalily]

68. OMG Clint!

We have a annual Iron Chef contest with work colleagues, it's really a big deal. A lot of fun with a lot of people. I was on a team last year and it was fun, but stressful all the same, so I vowed never to do it again, the cooking part that is. Anyway, my boss e-mails me yesterday telling me that one of the teams dropped out and if I would be his cooking partner. Well, you know how busy we've been at work so we really don't have a lot of time for research, etc. Anyway, we're going to do it, so there'll be two teams, but apparently there'll be no scoring seeing we have such a short prep time while the other team has had weeks to do their research. Ah, I sure can make a short story long. Anyway, it'll be all for fun. Our shopping list has to be turned in by days end and we haven't even decided what to make. Ugh! Oh well, it's all for fun, right? And all said, how could I say no to my boss? We've decided to engage the party goers, have them be our chopper/peelers, etc. Should prove interesting.

[Clintmax]

74. Actually...that sounds like a LOT of fun!

But, if you're going to participate, you're going to have to get around and get your shopping list done! Any IDEAS on what you want to make?

[Callalily]

111. The secret ingredients

are: New Glarus Edel-Pils beer, Kikkoman soy sauce, Wisconsin asiago cheese, and Larry's clover honey. What we have to do is prepare a shopping list for each item. The secret ingredient will be announced Saturday night. We have to be prepared to cook four entrees incorporating the secret ingredient. For instance if the secret ingredient is the clover honey, each entree we prepare has to have honey in it. It's hard because we can't use recipes, all must be from memory. So essentially we have to be prepared with four recipes of each ingredient. I don't think I'm making myself really clear here, but I suspect you get what I mean. Ahhhhh, I keep telling myself it'll be fun.

[Clintmax]

115. Yes, I know what you're saying...

I love that show, myself! It should be lots of fun!

[Politically_Wrong]

106. Iron Chef...Masaharu Morimoto!

I love the Iron Chef show...I like to watch it every time I get the chance...I think you've told me that you've done this tournament before...welp...good luck! And tell me how it goes! :hi:

[Callalily]

113. Nice to hear

from you P_W! I noticed your new avatar yesterday, but you didn't post. Been waiting!

Yes, when I had expended cable I watched the Iron Chef show too. I LOVE that show.
Thanks for the vote of confidence! I'll be sure to let you know how things evolve.

Hey, I'm going to be playing on III tonight, most likely late though. Care to join me? Or if you're on II let me know, I'll join you there. Just a thought!

[khashka]

66. Good morning, Cap'n

Off work for once, finally? Have a great day and a great weekend :)

Khash.

[Clintmax]

67. Hail, Khash!

:hi:
Good to see you today, Man! I hope you have a good day and weekend too!

[tjwmason]

78. Good morning darling.

How are you today?

:hug: :loveya:

But you're not getting me away from swimboy, he's definitely mine.

[Fox Mulder]

71. Good morning Clintmax!

Long time, no see! :hi:

[Clintmax]

75. FOX!

:bounce::hi:
Holey moley it HAS been a while! Where the hells have you been?

[billyskank]

85. Hi clint!

:hi:

[Clintmax]

87. Hail, Billy!

Always a pleasure! :bounce:

[Clintmax]

118. Time to get this day going!

I'm off to get my errands done! I had fun this morning and I hope you did too! Also, I passed post count number 6000 in this thread! :woohoo: Thank you EVERYONE for sharing your mornings with me!

:loveya: ALL!

Clint

[MissMillie]

125. Good Morning Clint!

Here in Boston it is expected to get to 50 degrees today, which is way above average for January. I'll take it!

I went to bed last night at 7:30, so today I feel amazingly rested. I had a terrific workout this morning, and I just finished a good breakfast.

I hope you get all your chores done and get a chance to enjoy the rest of your day.
