Subject: RE: Nothing happened while you were gone, Amos! From: Skivee Date: 09 May 09 - 08:33 PM Where do you folks want this Mayan pyramid ice-sculture?...Probably not near the hottub. |
Subject: RE: Nothing happened while you were gone, Amos! From: Janie Date: 09 May 09 - 08:41 PM Deposit it in the middle of the ice rink. We decided Amos would probably like to keep the ice rink. The ski slopes had to go. City ordinances and all that, you know. |
Subject: RE: Nothing happened while you were gone, Amos! From: GUEST,Mystrocard/Vista of Amerika, Inc. Date: 09 May 09 - 08:49 PM Return it. The card that these miscreants have been using, utterly without the authorization and approval of the cardholder, has been CANCELED. We have taken steps to direct the confiscation of any and all computers used to make on-line orders so that they may be checked for fingerprints. Certified handwriting experts have been called in to determine the true identities of the individuals forging the cardholder's name on charge slips. All current and former members of the U.S. military will be recalled to active service so that they may be charged under the appropriate military regulations. Tax refunds and other federal transfer payments will be withheld to repay these felonious charges. Deportation proceedings will be initiated on all individuals who are non-citizens residing in the United States. Non-citizens residing outside of the United States will be immediately placed upon the watch/forbidden entry lists maintained by the Department of Homeland Security. That will teach you all to mess with me! |
Subject: RE: Nothing happened while you were gone, Amos! From: Janie Date: 09 May 09 - 08:58 PM Ha. Ha. Ha. You little bullying pissant. And anyway, take it up with Amos when he gets home. After all, he is the one with all the remaining merchandise, and the beneficiary of all the services. I sez, let him deal with it. |
Subject: RE: Nothing happened while you were gone, Amos! From: ClaireBear Date: 09 May 09 - 09:09 PM You tell 'em, Sistah Janie! By the way, I had nothing to do with it either. Musta been some other bear. Unless you like it, of course. In that case I assisted in the effort wholeheartedly. |
Subject: RE: Nothing happened while you were gone, Amos! From: GUEST,Guest/ Not Ebbie Date: 09 May 09 - 10:19 PM Fyi: It is my understanding that Ebbie has left town. |
Subject: RE: Nothing happened while you were gone, Amos! From: Tinker Date: 09 May 09 - 10:33 PM Given that the neighbors haven't complained even once, and clearly Amos left a work order for a few minor improvements, and whereas the property owner left the card to secure said improvements in his absence, and whatsoevermore It looks damn good if I say so my self.... To whomsoever it may concern at Mystrocard/Vista of Amerika, Inc. please have your legal department contact our legal department to sort out the varying juristictions of the cross-continental/ intergalactical and varied-dimensional/demonsional contracts. Please collect a formal business card from the bartender and use the there identified legal contacts for all further communication. The bartender will be sure to show you the way out. |
Subject: RE: Nothing happened while you were gone, Amos! From: Rapparee Date: 09 May 09 - 10:42 PM I like the dark brown enamal. Perhaps some orange spots along the walls will help with the accent. |

Subject: RE: Nothing happened while you were gone, Amos! From: Stilly River Sage Date: 09 May 09 - 11:42 PM Why will I be in trouble, Bruce? I've had a glass of wine at my elbow off and on for any number of posts, and you see how well it turned out! (And none of it on the keyboard--knock wood!) But I don't know about Amos--I was out checking the landscaping, to see if it was going to recover from all of the pyrotechnics, freezing weather, and water, and er, well, I found this. All I was doing was looking for a sample, in nature, of brown with orange spots to see if it would look okay in the house. I think I like it better on butterflies and |

Subject: RE: Nothing happened while you were gone, Amos! From: Stilly River Sage Date: 09 May 09 - 11:49 PM fp--These were originally for women, but I think they look pretty much unisex. "Nude beach" refers to the bottles sans labels (hence, "nude"). That's the best I could come up with in a big hurry. |
Subject: RE: Nothing happened while you were gone, Amos! From: Stilly River Sage Date: 09 May 09 - 11:54 PM Oh, and for Amos, this woman, she had an unusual name, Charlize, she said she'd heard all about your Golden Globes group and wanted to know if she could join. It can wait until you've had time to a) find your house b) find your room and c) unpack your bags. |

Subject: RE: Nothing happened while you were gone, Amos! From: artbrooks Date: 10 May 09 - 12:38 AM Did she finally annoy a mod, ya think? Can't see why, really. |
Subject: RE: Nothing happened while you were gone, Amos! From: Janie Date: 10 May 09 - 12:44 AM Or we annoyed a credit card company. |

Subject: RE: Nothing happened while you were gone, Amos! From: Stilly River Sage Date: 10 May 09 - 02:38 AM To sum it up: a Guest/Mystrocard/Vista Company rep stopped in several times. Finally, SINSULL dropped a net over that individual and we sent he/her/it to Nurse Ratched in the Recovery Ward for a little electroshock therapy regarding some extravagant credit card purchases. I don't know why that avatar disappeared, Ratched doesn't have the html skills, and no one protested that presence, so I hope those posts reappear. Their disappearance is, frankly, more disturbing than Rap's explosives or Don's use of The Button. |

Sets the paperback book he was reading on the chair where it's easy to find. Wanders to the front door, opens it quietly, then runs like hell up the street, hops in the pickup truck, and peels out! |

Subject: RE: Nothing happened while you were gone, Amos! From: Amos Date: 10 May 09 - 01:51 PM I am FLABBERGASTED!! GOBSMACKED!!! Why did no-one tell; me such a party was going on!! I could have saved all that airfare!!! My Gawd!! The sheer creativity, inspiration, diligence!!! Hey, I had a wonderful, wonderful time and am bvery mellow from seven days of tropical breezes and Cuba Libres. There were wonders to behold. Here's a brief extract. Manta rays by the score, nursesharks, wandering international entrepreneurs with grandiose schemes, singer-songwriters from Tennessee, wizards and angels of every description wandering the white sands. An awesome trip. So I am SO mellowed out, I think I will just fire up the drill press and band saw and start reforming the place and putting it to rights agaiin. This time I am going to put up some safeguards so I won't be losing sleep next time I go away wondering who is sneaking into the place via my internet connection. Great Gawd Almighty!! I have NEVER seen the like. I am glad you guys had fun!!! It was heart-warming to come back and find the mess. Just heart-warming. So heart-warming I will be n Prilosec for a month. But it was worth it, I tell ya!! Thank you all very very much for your incredible efforts...yeah....that's right!! A |

Subject: RE: Nothing happened while you were gone, Amos! From: Amos Date: 10 May 09 - 02:48 PM You guys had me laughing out loud in the middle of a Belize-style hangover. This is one incredible thread, and y'all are one incredible buncha guys!!! Thanks for the nightmares and the laughs!!! A |
Subject: RE: Nothing happened while you were gone, Amos! From: Stilly River Sage Date: 10 May 09 - 02:56 PM Well, heck, I could have saved myself the trouble of hunting down an atoll in the South Pacific if I'd realized you were at one right there in Belize. Your iPhone might have detected the link, though, and ratted us out. That purple chair might be comfortable if you singed your backside while snorkling. If you don't need it, I'd like to reuse this kitchen. Unless you're going to keep it. It would look great on the back of my house. |
Subject: RE: Nothing happened while you were gone, Amos! From: Stilly River Sage Date: 10 May 09 - 02:58 PM Oh, and that library early in the thread, that would look great in my house also. Once I get the loan to push the roof off, that is. . . |

Subject: RE: Nothing happened while you were gone, Amos! From: VirginiaTam Date: 10 May 09 - 03:55 PM Hi Amos Welcome home. Here's the keys to the paintball tank . I put it on your credit card. While it may appear that Spaw didn't do much at the party, you can rest assured he orchestrated most of it in a behind the scene kind way. He is the one that gave me your credit card. Anyway, I can let you have a new supply of paintball ammo, real cheap so long as you pay cash. I don't trust your credit, mate. |
