I am hoping that if I look I have no tips on my asshole.

[salin]

That would be scary...

I tried so hard to resist posting this... just.couldn't.do.it.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

1. Want me to check for ya?

I mean that's what friends are for :evilgrin:

[salin]

4. some things

are better not shared among friends... did I hear Dionne Warwick in the background?

[madinmaryland]

2. You need some of this?

[salin]

5. that such a product exists...

is even scarier than the thread title...

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

3. Oh. My. God.

Salin, m'dear, I am so concerned. You have been sucked past the event horizon of copycat threading.

Dear ghod, hear my call: this insanity is taking over everything. Show me a sign that a bucket of cold water will help. Amen.


;-)

[salin]

6. Ah, Tandalayo....

a gal can't be serious and policy minded all the time...

Not only did I get to the point of not being able to resist the copythread temptation... it even over rode my alleged "midwestern sensibilities" screen... what is a serious girl to do?

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

8. What is a serious girl to do?

Well, for starters, get that big crystal pitcher out and make a run of Cosmos. Drink two. Then, with third Cosmo in hand, hit the lounge and show them how it is *really* done. :D

[salin]

10. Dare I ask

what is a Cosmo?

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

12. One Cosmo, coming up!

1 oz vodka
1/2 oz triple sec
1/2 oz Rose's® lime juice
1/2 oz cranberry juice

Shake vodka, triple sec, lime and cranberry juice vigorously in a shaker with ice. Strain into a martini glass, garnish with a lime wedge on the rim, and serve.

On edit: Don't be a wuss. Triple all measurements for one real cocktail. :D

[salin]

14. yikes.. that sounds more potent than

my (half) native substance of favor for holidays and other celebrations... Akavit (norwegian version of an ouzo type liquor).

Btw, how are you doing these days?

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

15. Aquavit! EEK!

Aquavit ate my brain one night. Ate it right good too, as I remember. Not that I remember much.

Doing? Ok I guess. Been busy with this, a work in progress:

http://www.worldnewstrust.org

Note: veddy alpha+ ver.

Oh, and listening to the internet radio station in the last line of my .sig. They r4wKz0r.

[salin]

16. That is fantastic!

bookmarked - and I will add it to my regular routine (when not on break - as I have the luxury of being this week - my reading is very early in the am and pretty late inthe evening). Very cool.

Ya - we norwegians (or half norwegians) forget to warn people that while it is served in a shot glass - it is NOT to be swigged in a gulp. Gentle sips (often chased by beer) at toasts "Skaal!" over the course of a meal .. or it can get a bit firey and dicey!

I will check out that internet radio system - though most of the week I am stuck working on a laptop that sometimes is a spotty on performance per streaming.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

17. Spotty performance?

Easy fix: open the preferences and increase the buffer size. More buffer=less skipping.

[salin]

18. thanks for the "tip"

;-)

This is quite a project you have undertaken... very cool indeed. :thumbsup: When back on limited time (working 70+ hours most weeks these days), how can I help?

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

19. Easy.

PM either Tace or Papau. They can tell you how you might be of assistance. Me? I am just the designated geek.

[salin]

20. Ya, right.

And I am just an elementary news reader. You sell yourself short. You may be playing the techie role on the project... but I have read your insight on news items for years (yes - we have both been here long enough to say that) - and you clearly have a LOT to offer on such a project. You have brought out the serious salin - from the lounge lizzard who perriodically emerges - with this, but do know that I have long made a point of reading your commentary when we cross paths/threads. You are able to tie related but sometimes seemingly disparate news items together. I have always admired that.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

21. Tie things together?

Oh. That. That's just the effects of the schizo-affective disorder brought on by the years of chemical abuse.

I knew I shouldn't have gargled them damn Cane Toads. They warned me, but did I listen? Nooooo. I was too smart for that. :D

[salin]

22. Just realized something...

you don't "do" compliments well, do you.

Btw, I have no idea what Cane Toads are.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

23. No.

It's a gift. :D

[salin]

24. what if I were to say

that to not take the compliment (that I greatly appreciate your insights on news items and policy discussions) - that I were to read that as your implying that suggested that I had no taste, no sense or little "smarts" so therefor the compliment had no merit due to the source... ?

(Another thing, along with Akavit, that I got from my norwegian roots - the ability to use guilt... )

Would you take the compliment, then? :evilgrin:

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

25. ACK!!!

You win, you win! Uncle! Olley, olley oxen free!

[salin]

26. Very good

Skall! :toast:

*smooch on the cheek*

Seriously - looks like a great project.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

27. Ooo. A *smooch*!

Damn...is it getting hot in here? Phew. Ahem.

[salin]

28. Not only a smooch

but the chance to get me to keep this obnoxious copycat thread title going - out of context (that is all the other thread are long gone so the odd title lives on...) Which is what this "serious gal" gets for trying to walk on the wild side! (not to regret the conversation - I don't... it is great to touch base :D :hi: )

[0007]

7. What are tips? Something a leper left behind?

[salin]

11. ewwww

just somethingthe power of suggestion (and du copycatthreadsgonewild) might have inspired.

[jdots]

9. don't we put your tips in your G string ?

never resist the urge to post wacky stuff in the lounge unless it is a sects thread about some cult or holy cow .

[salin]

13. I just learned about the truth per the latest updates

(I generally go to forums and don't see latest) - I know that for awhile lounge posts did not (or I didn't think they did) go to the latest...

But I suspect, based on a few of the responders (valued conversers on more serious topics, and rare lounge denizens, to my knowledge), that this must have gone to the latest space... and drawn my friends (my more serious side) into this copycat lounge thread. Just a suspicion...

[solinvictus]

29. Call Dr. Frist..

send him a video and he'll check it for you.
