Nah, I only grow the big non-eating kind. I'm planting >>Atlantic Giants this year. I doubt I'll get it to that size, but you gotta dream big, right?
Ah for the purpose of large Jack o Lanterns?
Either that or birthing chambers for pod people.
Ack!! POD PEOPLE?!? AGAIN?!?
OUR AGENTS ARE IN PLACE.
YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE FAWTL, SON!
Does that mean you have Jeopardy in Sweden?Thankfully I have stuff here at work to eat, so won't be starving or anything.Things we expected to hear from Aberzombie for 200.
Used to, at least. It kinda went downhill once they replaced the first host, Magnus Härenstam (star of many early Lasse Hallström films, as well as responsible for teaching at least four generations of Swedes to count), who had hosted it for over a decade, with some other guy.
Feh. Mondays.
::crushes the Mondayness::
Beats those darn Thursdays.
Back from lunch... and a whole new batch of threads to hide.

Was dwelling on this word this weekend while I worked and my kids avoided work, other than creating more work for me. This was understandable when they were younger. Now I wonder at what point they will become self-sustaining organisms, if ever.
The same time you did -eventually.

Did someone around here order Hungry Jack®'s famous Code-Red Pancakes?
hit me with the recipe.
Don't mention food to me right now. I feel very sick. I'm going to cruel up in a ball and go back to sleep.
I better catch WWE tonight or I'll go Brock Lesnar on people.
Hey FDM did you finally break down and see the Avengers yet?
alas no. My wife and mother were the both sick this weekend, so I was caring for them when I could(they both want to be left alone when sick). Maybe this week sometime.
... and the excuses will begin to pile. Illegal pat-downs. Panhandling for hentai porn. Phone camera self-portraits in the bathroom mirror with a booty pop and duck face. Or a typical Thursday night at the second job.
You cannot avoid Whedon much longer.
Lynora: I can't wait to hear what you were inspired to.
Kajehase: Come to Texas, we'll hook ya up.
331 posts. Did I miss anything?
Man, packing, especially boxing up books, is a bear.
I am glad I never had to pack stuff up and move.

Tell me about it! I really miss the built in bookshelves at my apartment...it's been 8 months and I still have boxes and boxes of books to unpack!331 posts. Did I miss anything?

I can't wait to unpack some books once we put this bookcase together! I know we have more than will fit, so it's only a start, but... it's a start.
Interesting - there is a preview of the new Pathfinder Comic the way it is drawn reminds me of Slaine a little.

We went to the food carts for dinner tonight. As always it was delicious. The Cheese Dream guys let Bryce into the cart to help make his sandwich. There is a picture on their facebook page. They showed me the pic while we were there since they know I don't do facebook. :)

Blah blah mornings half over. I want to go home and get my pumpkin patch primed for planting.
Will it be the most sincere pumpkin patch in the neighborhood?.
I am the one hiding under your bed
Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red
I am the Who when you're calling "Who's there?"
I am the wind blowing in your hair
I am the shadow on the moon at night
Filling your dreams to the brim with fright
I am the one hiding under your bed
Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red
Why, good brother, would you ever tell them where you are hiding?
Just not good monstering, if you ask me.
BACON!!!
Check out my recent fun in PIE.
Those giant pumpkins always remind me (uncomfortably) of the Elephant Man's head. Is that strange?
OH, BEHAVE!!!
Oops, nevermind.

rant:
Not even close. Growing up my wife and I both knew of our roles in our families and contributed. We also knew that to move out would require full-time jobs or more. My kids at home (17 yo and up) simply ignore us when we ask for help most of the time. With my wife away I told them to clean up after themselves, but still found messes in the morning as they slept past noon. I keep praying for the light bulb to turn on. My oldest finally joined the real world 3 yrs ago at age 24. We went wrong somewhere.Hell, I was married, we had our 1st born, and we were renting a house at 22. And working 50 hours a week to pay for it.
As teenagers/young adults we whooped it up on the weekends. Now it seems to go on 7 dyas a week. Like it has to go on 7 days a week. It's weird. Something's broken when responsibility is absent from a generation. There is no guilt about endless consumption.
/end rant
My 4 yo daughter helped me clean up the house yesterday.
My 7 yo daughter wanted to; she's got a fever though, so I wouldn't let her.
My 9 yo son......he's a lost cause I think sometimes. I don't know what to do with him; I think he's scared of failure more than lazy though.
I was a bum when I was a kid; I work my ass off now though. Maybe there is hope?.....
I sure hope so. The kids helped out when they were younger but that dried up in their teenage years, and it's not like I keep the financial stresses of life a secret. They're in the bum stage now. Have been for a long time. It was like a lightbulb turned on for my son when he turned 24. I hope the others find their way soon. Especially my soon-to-be 24 yo that has just now gone to full time work.
The younger members of our group give me hope. Despite their struggles they understand responsibility and show a willingness to work for tomorrow's good time.
I guess I coddle him; he's a head shorter at school, so he gets tender ministrations from the beaters.
The middle girl is a "Heather," and the littleist girl doesn't take any crap from anybody. She's going to be a beater I reckon.
I was "a beaten" too, so know what that's like.
Then, you go from 5'6" in 10th grade to 6' in 12th and the beatings end for the most part. well, the "daily" ones anyway.
