THE WORST FEELING IN THE WORLD

[Ace]

Thank you J'Oh for explaining that reference to Poppy from Australia/down under.  

I should now like you to explain all the other references in my recent poast.

Thank you.

Blob; this could help me understand what I'm getting at, I think.

[Buffalo2102]

Also, I'd like to apologize to Englishman for Buffalo imitating art, and Jude Law.  If it was up to me, he'd imitate Angelina Jolie.  At least pictorialy.  Really.

Well, if that's what you want......

Luv from Angie xxx

[Ace]

Well, heck yeah.  I mean, I like Jude Law. But I'd rather look at her.

Johnny, I've found most of my exercise is futile...  I'll try shoveling snow, but I haven't been lifting weights so I better take it easy.  That's what snowblowers are for... I'll tell you, the neighbor next to Murphy had her kid and husband over to do her driveaway.  They actually got a little scraper shovel to try to loosen the remnants stuck to the concrete, to shovel THEM off... We're talking about a foot of snow, and to see someone that fastidious is just... stupid.  It's like watching Murphy rake, then try to keep the leaves from leaving.

Angie in the Buff.  It's a dream come true.

[Bill]

The husband and kids are invited guests?  Sure its really its her husband?

X, if that's your real name, welcome to Poasters, you and your imported 3200+ poasts.  

Not snowing on the east coast but particularly chilly.

I've got the chips stove working overtime  in the tunnel and if you see Buff, let him know I need some more.  
Would seem time to rewrite the Players Program, again.

Go easy with the snowblower. Last year Trav rode the front and look what happened to him.

X1; no fancy colors for me.

[Ace]

Poasters: The X Files.

Ok, so after Murphy's neighbor Bev had her daughter/daughter's husband over to scrape down and polish and buff the driveway, Murphy came out.

Here's the deal; blind is blowing pretty firmly out of the North.  If you're snowblowing, it's gonna Go South.  Murphy is doing the North side of the driveway first (ours face E-W) on that strip.  He's pointing the blower North.  So each pass he's blowing it into the wind, into his face.  He stands exhausted at the end of the driveway, looking puzzled and disgusted.  The points it North again and blows it back.  Again. And again.

Next, he'll probably try to tie down plastic over the drifts, to keep them from blowing away...

X; I'm glad I'm in here and not out there.  He's better than any TV comedy.

[Bill]

I have to wonder where he thinks he is going to go after it gets cleaned off.

I shovelled a path for me and the dog, about 6 feet, but 2 minutes out and we were back in the house.

Scully and Muldoon

[Ace]

Officer Muldoon?  Gunther Tooty?

I think that's nice of you to go, with your dog.  A lot of people would just send the poor pooch out by himself, and they'd stay inside to go.  It's a show of comradery, and solidarity, to go out with your dog.  Women tend to go to bathrooms together, but for guys it's usually a solo thing...  

Xit stage left.

[Bill]

Ace, if that's really your name, now, thanks for at least thinking I have good intentions with the dog.    Unfortunately couldn't be farther from the truth.
I prefer indoor plumbing.

The pooch is a fairly new acqusition of my son's.  About a 60 lb. Pit/Black Lab mix, 18 months old.   The son is away.  While we have a rather large back yard it is not fenced and, being an 18 month old puppy, large but still a puppy, Fido can't be trusted to run loose, mind his manners or come back.

I doubt the neighbors, or their kids, would enjoy being bowled over by an energetic, black steamroller that comes screaming out of the darkness.  So, I take the monster out, regularly.  On the other hand, he arrived here completely house broken, a not so small bit of good fortune.

Guess its a good thing you finished  the driveway before you started to feel poorly.  Probably a long walk to the ER.  And don't worry about the blood tests.  Many people have a BAC of .1 at 11am.

Bill; I let it melt.

[Ace]

I'd let it melt, too, but I think we're looking at mid-June as the heat wave to break 30 degrees.

That's one rolling ball of fur you've got there.  I wouldn't wanna get in his way if he was in a hurry for something.  

I gotta look at what BAC is.. if it's blood alcohol level, then I'm going to get it checked.  It's usually much higher than that.  I hope I don't have to go on blood thinners; that means light beer, again.

AXe

[Bill]

If it really was breakfast related and indigestion, you should be able to keep on keepin' on.

Now then,  back to work.   Fun's over, tote that barge, lift that bale, count the bananas....

Bill; formerly know as slave-driver

[Ace]

Yes, I have bananas.  I already had one; I'm trying to fiber-up too.  My luck I'd lift the barge and tote the bale.  I don't want to lift anything... I thought about doing weights today, but then thought "well, let's not."  I gotta see the regular doc this week; the one who gave me the Bextra.  Wonder what stock they're trying to dump off now before its banned...

I am looking forward to football.  I am looking forward to those fans sitting for 4 hours in 15 degrees.  I am looking forward to that in 66 degrees and a Heineken.  I hope it's the Steelers and the Eagles in The Bowl.  And I'm glad my blizzard has moved on to Southside Johnny and the Asbury Duke.

Sorry.  It's just that I had enough of it.  Pat too, probably.  Enjoy!

Ace; that'll teach you to live downwind from me.

[Mark H]

I hope it's the Steelers and the Eagles in The Bowl.

Mark it down that on this day, January 23 2005, I agree with Ace on his desire for the Super Bowl. :-[   It won't happen again, I promise. ;)

[Ace]

Well, if it was up to me, it'd be the Bears and Colts.  But, so little is up to me.  

I hope the Pats lose (no, not you Pat) just so Charlie Weis can start his Era (Ara) as Messianic Coach Of The Fighting Irish.  He'll be a slave driver non pareil.

Ace; I don't even know how to pronounce that, let alone what it means.

[pat]

I have, indeed, had enough of winter.

If I had my choice between who played in the Super Bowl. I'd go down to Australia and watch the open.

[Ace]

Well, sure.  I could go down under.  Smell the Poppys...  Federer will continue his untouchable streak.  Sorta like me.  We're both untouchable.

Look, nobody wants to touch me.. that's what I meant.  I have a Wilson racket much like Federer's.  We're both right handed...

Ok; that's as far as I can take it.  My brother has a racquet like Roddick's.  Ok; that's as far as that comparison goes.

Ace; The Iggles are in.  The Stillers soon to follow.  I've been through Pennsylvania, so I can relate.

[Bill]

Unfortunately the only "Go" for the Steelers is home.
I think they paid the ultimate price for having a rookie Q-back.   These rest seemed to bring their game.

Good Night, Johnny.

Bill

[Ace]

When I saw the news, they were showing Ed McMahon and I thought he died.  If I had to vote a comedian dead I would've chosen Pauly Shore or Adam Sandler, and not Johnny.  

That guy with the Mohawk Afro on the Eagles was pretty funny...  My brother thinks he's Letterman, sometimes; unfortunately, sometimes he is.

Ace; I'm a sitdown comic.

[Bill]

Well, yes.  But, Carson literally dropped off the scope, missing, gone, not visible, hibernating at FairLawn, for years.  Today is not any different than last Saturday or a week ago Saturday.   The humor survives on tape, but he's been gone for a long time.  

Typical, self-centered,  "what have you done for me lately", geez it's cold, get outta my way, dangit, NY-ish attitude.  Normal for Mondays, for me.



Bill;  winter brings out the best in people.

[Ace]

Got a new worstest feeling, that would be meaningful to anyone in an office setting:

After having mailed out a batch of client/customer letters, finding a typo nicely in place (after various revisions).  And the worser/stupider it reads, the badder it gets...

Criminy.  I should have been an English Colonel.

Ace; and, no, spell check would not have caught it.  And, if you're Amish, grammar check will pretty much match your diction in Word.

[Bill]

Gets even worse if your name's on the bottom and this mailing was intended to drum up new business and impress clients and prospects with your professionalism.

I have been there....and I always blame it on the help.

"Yeah, I know.  He /she is no longer with us, as of  yesterday."   "If you don't  do it yourself, nothing is ever right."  "We really strive for better performance and anyone not capable of meeting our quaility standards doesn't last long."  
Hope your resume is up to date.  

Tomorrow or the next day might be fun.  Call in sick.

[Ace]

As a resume writer, my resume is always up to date.  

I don't have any "help."  Just my cohort, in my position.  I don't hesitate to blame her for anything.  That's the downside of working with me.  

If push comes to shove, I'll shove you right in front of an incoming train.  It's a dog eat cat world out there.  It's raining men.

Ok, I don't know what that last one had to do with anything.. I was watching American Idol, and I guess it's a flashback.  Hey; you know what judge would be the best Poaster?

Kenny Login.

Man, I am on a roll today.  Sesame seed, I think.

Ace; Jesters are idle.  Idol.  Dangit.

[Bill]

So it would seem, are the poasters.

bill; one of 2 announcers.

[Ace]

Look; that's the risk when you work in radio.  Some days nobody is watching.

There'd be more activity but Travis has everyone going through their dang DVD collections and hauling out their typewriters to type up the titles so they can scan them into their computers then cut/paste the list into a poast.

Here's another "Worst Feeling In The World":

You see that Travis has added a new poast entitled "What ____ do you have in your collection?"  So far I think we've had cd's and DVDs and photos of yourself taken by yourself in your mirror in front of yourself.  Probably next will be:

1. Name all the spices in your kitchen!
2. Identify all the types of coasters you've lifted from Outback Steakhouse over the years!
3. What color of towels are in your bathroom!
4. How may records do you have boxed up in your crawl space or basement?  (or in my case, the crawlspace in my basement).
5. How many steps is it from your front door to the street?

Ace; huh.  I gotta go check that one.  I don't notice except on recycling day or trash pickup.  

[Bill]

You're suggesting Poasters are not multi-task capable?

Well, OK.  I'm not either but I am cooperative:

curry, salt (lots)
round paper,
purple,
79 in the attic,
27, did that this morning.

Bill; put your hands together for the veritable font of semi-useless information.

[Ace]

Well; let's see if anyone can top that!

Let's.  See.

Ace; I'm thinking salt isn't my friend, right now.

[Bill]

No, probably not but it sure makes things taste better.

Why don't you take the salt you have a spread it on the front walk?  Not going to waste and not making you any worse.

Geez, such stimulating material!

[Ace]

I think it's simulating material.

Maybe we should add some more Trav-like opinion polls and surveys... how about:

How many books and magazines and DVDs do you have like the ones taken into evidence by searching Michael Jackson's bedroom..?

That could get some interesting lists.

Ace; "The Boy"

[Bill]

And probably get some folks arrested.   And that would be problematic.  I mean who else besides someone like Jackson can afford a 'Dream Team" just to support their reading habits?
 
NJ Headlines today - "Cyber Crimes units arrests 36 in porno internet ring."  Yes, granted it's NJ, home and final resting place for various "connected persons" and preferred vacation spot for NY Smart Fellows.   Also know as The Great Barrier State, so named for its divided secondary roads  and uh, where was this going.

Ok, yeah, I think I prefer to keep my reading list to myself, thank you very much.

Bill;

[Ace]

Heck, I don't mind showing folks my reading material.  Of course, you're gonna have to come into the bathroom, where my library is...

Ace; except for the "I Spy" books, that we keep in the living room.  With the J.C. Penney's catalog.  

[Bill]

We keep the Penney catalog in the bathroom, right next to the Sear's catalog, in case we run out.
Now there is a "worst feeling".
