Where are you all on weekends these days this board is dead. How am I supposed to goof off at work?

Actually, I do know where Carlos was. I was at work yesterday (at the aquarium in downtown DC) and someone said to me "Did you used to work at the National Zoo?" And I said yes, confusedly, because I was sure he wasn't someone I knew from the zoo. Then he said "Does the word 'Achewood' mean anything to you?"

So, I've been having a momentary micro-mini DC Ache-con, and getting bit by a snake.  What's your excuses?

I have been here, and checking the boards. Nothing new had ever been posted.

I was so alone. So alone.

Also: J-Nisms, I know that you are alive. I have seen pictures, and pictures of clothing, etc. Do not avoid us. You know you need us.

See, now, people, this is a problem.  If you are looking and not posting because no one else has posted, and the next person is looking and not posting because no one else has posted... That's exactly when you need to take some initiative.

And what's more: If you are a Guest who finds us fascinating enough that you are reading nearly three year old "Happy Birthday, Wombat" threads, maybe it's time to register and pitch in?

I've become fascinated with flickr.

Flickr is going to cause the end of civilization as we know it. All people typing 'halloween pug' into the Flickr search box and having to look at 600 pictures and never doing any work again much less posting on messageboards elsewhere... Don't say I didn't warn you.

Yesterday was a day for small tasks that needed doing (haircut, new footy kit) and today I had friends over and went to the old November the Fifth celebrations.

A penny loaf to feed the Pope.
A farthing o' cheese to choke him.
A pint of beer to rinse it down.
A faggot of sticks to burn him.
Burn him in a tub of tar.
Burn him like a blazing star.
Burn his body from his head.
Then we'll say ol' Pope is dead.

Hip hip hoorah!
Hip hip hoorah!

"Footy kit"?

I've been avoiding the radio. I freaking hate federal open enrollment season and election time. They seem to just be alternating between insurance ads and capaigning during every commercial break.

Also I've been burning a bunch of stuff I downloaded from eMusic on to CDs.

Two things.

First, my policy is if yez ain't got nothin to say, say nothin.

Second, I will probably be a little out of pocket for the next few days.  Mrs. West is having Lap-Band surgery (and Laproscopic gall bladder removal) tomorrow.  I also have to be in court both tomorrow and Tuesday.  Hectic!

First, my policy is if yez ain't got nothin to say, say nothin.

Second, I am nearly positive that a footy kit is a soccer jersey in the states.

[V-Adore]

Best of luck to Mrs. West!

I just haven't had that much to say, and I've been focused on schoolwork right now anyway. I've got an exam tomorrow and an exam on Tuesday, so my days may be numbered.

I'm moving to Chicago this week and between full-time work (remotely from Philly) and packing, visiting with people before I leave, and getting things ready in Chicago, I'm pretty swamped.

I'll probably post a lot less once I move, too.  It's just how it goes.  Can't really post to cartoon message boards when I'm on someone else's manor, you know?

And I said yes, confusedly, because I was sure he wasn't someone I knew from the zoo. Then he said "Does the word 'Achewood' mean anything to you?"

Well, sad to say I couldn't remember your real name (still can't, in fact).  So I didn't just want to barge up all goin' "Izzat you, Wombat?"  If it wasn't, I'd have been escorted from the building.

You know what i did today?  I raked leaves.  A bajillion fuck*ng leaves.

I saw the Borat movie, which was... pretty good. And hung out with my friends. So far, I haven't done any work, because I am a lazy bastard and all I have to do is read some stuff.
