In lieu of The Daily Earwig: The Life of Skinner, or The Gourds' Prayer
Edited on Sun Feb-10-08 12:42 PM by CorpGovActivist
Our Skinner who art an Admin



Mellow-ed be thy Brain



Thy servers run



Thy RAID racks hum



With mirth



Ever so unleavened



Works for no pay



Our mezmied heads



And forgives us our gaffes



As we forgive the motherf*&^%$ who throw down against us


And lead us not from libations



As we are your Weebles



For thine is the ringtone



And the glower



And the Dory forever



Amen.

**********************************************************************

Shall we tombstone him, sire?



Ah, well. Always http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1loyjm4SOa0">look on the bright side of death. *whistle*



And call yer mum!



Truly faithful followers of Skinner follow the Gourd. THE GOURD! Follow the Gourd! The Holy Gourd of Jerusalem!

1. My dear CorpGovActivist!
This is hilarious!

And so very appropriate, considering after all, that this is (gasp!) Sunday!

Does your mind never sleep?

What I would give for 1/10 of your creativity...*sigh*

Thank you, sweetie!

:toast:

3. You should see what it's like in here when I'm dreaming!
Edited on Sun Feb-10-08 12:58 PM by CorpGovActivist
:rofl:

I *must've* been a bird in a prior life. Coz in my dreams, I have flying down pat, with 90-degree turns in any direction possible; my own personal roller coaster.

: )

And - honestly - I think I even know which kind of bird, for at least two reasons.



"And so very appropriate, considering after all, that this is (gasp!) Sunday!"

My Muses are observant sorts; we worship each Sunday in our own way. So there is always special love for the Creator in our work on Sundays.

"Does your mind never sleep?"

*shrug* It seems to stew on problems or temporary writer's block issues. Good sleep is awesome.

"What I would give for 1/10 of your creativity"

What I wouldn't give for 1/5th in my coffee cup and one of your poems right now. Lay down a beat?

:hi:

4. Ah, my dear Dave...
Most of my stuff is too personal to post...

And I haven't yet had my breakfast...

I may PM you later with something, OK?

You are a sweetheart!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dory_(fish)
Dory (fish)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
The common name dory (from the Middle English dorre, from the Middle French doree, lit. "gilded one") is shared (officially and colloquially) by members of several different families of large-eyed, silvery, deep-bodied, laterally compressed, and roughly discoid marine fish. As well as resembling each other, dories are also similar in habit: most are deep-sea and demersal. Additionally, many species support commercial fisheries and are considered excellent food fish. Most dory families belong to the order Zeiformes, suborder Zeioidei:

The "true dories", family Zeidae (five species, including the well-known John dory)
The zeniontids, family Zenionidae or Zeniontidae (seven species)
The "Australian dories", family Cyttidae (three species all within the genus Cyttus)
The oreos, family Oreosomatidae (ten species)
The parazen family, Parazenidae (four species, including the rosy dory)
Additionally, several species of spinyfin (family Diretmidae, order Beryciformes) have been given the name dory by fishmongers, presumably to make the fish more marketable.


In popular culture
In the Pixar film Finding Nemo, Dory is the name of a regal tang fish, which is not a dory.

:hug:

I love you, too, Dory.

12. PeaMutter cookies
for the dogs

contains: water, corn oil, peanut butter, wheat flour and white flour

sometimes we also make Pumpkin Pups

wheat/white flour, unsweetened canned pumpkin, water and corn oil

or if there's a brand of dry dog food they won't eat

I'll run it through the food processor to a coarse texture, cut back on the flour and mix it up with chicken broth. the dry food looks like little chips in there, we use a "chicken" shaped cookie cutter on them and call it CHICKS Ahoy

all safe for human consumption - can make them warm, soft, chewy, and yes a glass of milk
still want some?
