*****BREAD FOR BILLYSKANK: Please remind him to buy bread NOW!!!!!*****

[Heidi]

As we all know, billyskank's ability to buy bread depends greatly on DUers' generous reminders.

Please take a few seconds out of the hustle and bustle of the holiday season to contemplate billyskank's need to buy bread, and contribute your reminder in this thread. Thank you!

[billyskank]

1. I am going in a few minutes!

I shall try to remember! :patriot:

[Heidi]

2. This thread has the short-term memory thing covered!

:rofl:

[billyskank]

3. Now what was that again?

:D

[Heidi]

4. BUY BREAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOW!!!!!!

[Droopy]

5. Your OP is pure genius.

I salute you! :patriot:

[Heidi]

7. I can't take full credit for it, Droopy.

My "pure genius" in this case is inextricably tied to 1) billyskank's inability to buy bread without a reminder; and b) Call Me Wesley's mad graphics skillz. :rofl:

Mornin', friend! :hug:

[Heidi]

6. Kick!

:kick:

[Droopy]

8. Good morning

I hope everything is groovy where you are.

[Heidi]

9. Groovy cold!!!

But at least it's not snowin' anymore. :bounce:

How's the datin' thing goin'? Seems to me it con't be long before some smart young woman snaps you right up. :hug: :loveya:

[Droopy]

10. I meet prospect #7 later this evening

I think she's my best shot so far. Smart, cute, educated, open-minded, liberal, independent.

The last one I talked to you about was a complete disaster. She looked 20 years older than the pics she had up on the dating site. The only reason I recognized her was because of her height and hair color. She was an abnormally tall red head. I'm okay with older women, but not as old as my mother.

[Heidi]

11. Oy.

I'll light a candle for you and your companion to enjoy one another's company tonight. :) :hug:

[JVS]

12. I bought bread today

[Heidi]

13. Hopefully, your presence of mind will serve as a reminder to billyskank.

But probably not. :rofl:

[JVS]

14. People might laugh, but there are times when forgetting to buy bread has dire consequences.

They act like you can just leave the house at any time and buy bread, but that is not true. On Sunday one might have to walk all the way across town to buy bread, and it probably won't be cheap either.

[Heidi]

15. On Sunday here, the only bread you're gettin'

is at communion. Everything's closed here on Sunday.

[JVS]

16. There must be some kind of gas station bread, but it is bad bread.

I once got bread at the gas station and it was moldy. I learned that if I needed to go to the gas station for food, it was chips, Bifi, and Beer for me.

[Heidi]

17. There are no open gas stations within 20 minutes of our village.

This is not a joke. If you need gas on a Sunday, you can get it by using your credit card or cash in the self-service gas pumps down mountain, but the station itself is closed. If you need a Coke, bread, smokes or anything else, you're gonna be drivin' at least 20 minutes to get it.

[JVS]

18. And when you drive that 20 minutes, what kind of place are you getting the coke, bread, or smokes?

Kiosk, gas station, cafe?

[Heidi]

20. It's a Coop.

It's a miniature Coop, kinda like a convenience store.

[JVS]

24. Wow. open 7 days a week and until 10:00 PM! even on Sunday!

How luxurious.

[Heidi]

26. That's how it is in our state. I don't know of a single 24-hour store

in this region. You can be sure that it were possible for me to do my grocery shopping at 11 p.m. or 6 a.m., I would.

[JVS]

29. I don't know of a single 7 day store.

[Ptah]

19. We should just send some flour and yeast. Teach a man to loaf, so to speak.

[Heidi]

21. "Teach a man to loaf..."

:rofl: :spray:

:yourock:

[Call Me Wesley]

22. ***There is still time to remind billyskank!***

This day is our second "Remind Billyskank to buy bread!" drive.
Billyskank needs bread and depends on you to get some.
Please take a moment and remind him to buy bread! Thank you!

[billyskank]

33. *snort*

:rofl:

[Heidi]

37. DID YOU BUY BREAD??????????

Don't be loafin' around in this thread unless you've bought bread!!!! :spank:

[billyskank]

38. I forgot again.

I was so intent on trying to buy an alarm clock tea maker for a christmas present (I failed at that too, they didn't have one) that all bread-related thoughs were driven from my admittedly feeble mind.

Loafing around in this thread. :rofl:

[Heidi]

39. Man does not live by alarm clock tea makers alone, young man.

But I suppose it'll take a bout with grave hunger to drive that lesson home. :rofl:

[flvegan]

23. This thread and that graphic are the funniest things I've seen on DU

for quite some time.

Does billy take a big chomp out of the bread when we hit 1,000?

[Heidi]

27. Actually,

the loaf of bread smacks him upside of the head when we hit 1,000 reminders. This may deter him from forgetting to buy bread in the future.

[flvegan]

30. Even better.

CMW has some mad skillz. That graphic is awesome.

[cwydro]

25. What?

He's forgetting bread yet again!!??

[Heidi]

28. I know.

But it only happens once every two years, so I think we can all spare a reminder every two years. :rofl:

[cwydro]

51. Lol.

I thought I had entered a time warp.

Hey billyskank, buy bread!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

31. My dear Heidi!

Omigod, I am laughing!

This is the most amazing thread! Between your wonderful wit, and CMW's mad computer skillz....

I'm sitting here in my bathrobe and slippers with my mouth open with laughter!

Thank you sooooooooo much!


Oh, and BTW...just got our holiday cards yesterday...I hope to be sending them off early next week!


:loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[Heidi]

32. Peggy, you lazy wench!

:hug: :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

34. Hey!

It's just after 8, true...

And I am hardly ever up at this hour!

I am perfectly capable of lying around till nearly noon in my nightie and robe and all!
