YAY Friday!

From:

damn you!

From:

*laughing*

That makes 7 for me, dear!

From:

is there nothing you don't keep stats on???

what's my tally?

From:

I didn't post them... taybar did, and Jac asked for them [they went up yesterday, page 2]

From:

will have to have a look...

it's a strange stat to keep... but nothing surprises me anymore with you mathematical types!

From:

*sucks at math*

Better at spreadsheets.

From:

i read that about you on a toilet wall once...

::wink::

From:

My reputation precedes me.

I really must get to the underbelly of the world someday.

From:

the ARSE end of the world!

points to previous icon!

australian politics background: PM calls australia arse end of the world (http://www.convictcreations.com/history/primemine.htm)

From:

*snicker*

At least the entire rest of the world doesn't HATE you.

ETA: "you" = "your country"

Edited Date: 2008-03-14 12:31 pm (UTC)

From:

i saw in lions for lambs that this is "one of the five worst times in history to be an american".

i was surprised there was only five... ::wink::

From:

*giggle*

Thankfully, I haven't been alive for ALL of them.

I am not THAT old.

Just mostly.

Unlike you.

*snicker*

From:

both me AND my country are younger than you, i'll have you know.

From:

*eyes you*

Are you sure about that?

I mean, it could be ANCIENT history.

*giggle*

From:

*does a happy dance*..

Whoa...two pages to the GR already....

damn that was fast...

but then I'm three hours behind everyone..

Last free day before I head back to the ball and chain at the desk...

From:

*spreading the love*

From:

Ha ha

From:

that's not nice... mocking me...

you trying to start something necromancer???

From:

You say that like it is a bad thing, AussieArse!

From:

who me?

never!

From:

You just hate that your fate rests in my hands, season after season.

From:

well i am just a subsidiary of spydie corp...

Edited Date: 2008-03-14 12:18 pm (UTC)

From:

"Just"

*sheesh*

I thought people were honored that I allowed them that small grace.

From:

i'm hoping to be bought out in a hostile takeover!

From:

*cocks head*

How hostile?

From:

there'll be a flame thrower involved.

From:

Doesn't

xo_kizzy_xo have one of those? I thought she was using it to blow up servers...

From:

i don't know... but i've seen

tulip_in_yellow's latest idol inspired icon... she looks B-A-D-A-S-S

edit: for shame - my code was broken... ::blush::

Edited Date: 2008-03-14 12:38 pm (UTC)

From:

She does indeed.

There are some FIERCE competitors here.

(they scare me)

-they really do-

From:

yeah hair - and that's just their icons!!!

From:

Hey look.... I gain at least two inches in height with my hair - just ask

rosepurr.

I was thinking more about the icons who scare me.

(and the writing)

*shivers*

From:

now THERE the sats we need! how has the scariest idol icons!!!

where's

taybar19???

From:

Ohhh...

We can have another contest.

The Next Greatest LJ Icon

(rubber ducks not allowed)

From:

if rubber ducks aren't allowed then we'll have to ban the following as well:

* cookies
* bacon
* firefly
* hippos
* steelers
* ANYTHING science fiction

[i will be back to amend this list!]

From:

No amendments.

I command it.

From:

i think you need to pass a motion first...

From:

And what is this *love* you speak of, anyway?

From:

i don't know - it just seems to be a popular idea in the GR - thought i'd jump on the bandwagon!?!?!?!

From:

Imagine it!

All the contestants getting together, all around the world for a global Kum-Ba-Ya

From:

::sings::

Imagine there's no popularity
It's easy if you try
No poll below us
Above us only pie
Imagine all the contestants
Living for today

Imagine there's no cookies
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no bacon too
Imagine all the contestants
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a schemer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as an alliance

Imagine no popularity
I wonder if you can
No need for pimping or bribes
A brotherhood of idol
Imagine all the contestants
Sharing all the world

You may say that I'm a schemer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as an alliance

From:

O.M.G.

You are BRILLIANT!

*bows to the gnome*

can we make this the theme song?

From:

thank you, thank you very much.

you inspired it!

From:

Awww.

At least I inspired good for a change, instead of evil.

From:

shite! that wasn't evil? my mad skillz are slipping!

From:

Nope. Not evil enough.

And I am still not joining any ALLIANCE.

*snicker*

From:

one day you will be mine, oh yes, you will be mine!

::evil cackle::

::cough::cough::cough::

::hairball::

From:

*slaps you on the back*

There, there. Enough of that. We can't have you dying. My mad skills with bringing back the dead only works with contestants, not with corpses.

From:

you saved my life AGAIN.

now i am indebted to you AGAIN.

what would you like, master?

From:

I want to hit 100 comments by 9am.

Can you make that happen?

From:

::check new world clock::

grap!!! ::pays a dollar royality to

ewok_626::

that's only... 16 minutes away...

i accept your challenge and raise you a wet fish!

From:

We need to get GRAPPING!

From:

now you owe

ewok_626 TWO dollars!!!

we need

jennielynn1127 or

taybar19 to do the accounts!

[ever get the feeling you're name dropping... weird...]

From:

I only name drop if I think

kithan or

clauderainsrm might be paying attention.

After all, it isn't like [Unknown site tag] or even

lacombe are going to read this far in and care that their name came up.

From:

quick comment to stop edit.

From:

har ha!

From:

you know... if you don't let me EDIT my mistakes when you point them out then not all the name drops are gonna happen.

SOME people will feel left out!

*points at ...*

From:

nope - it's one of life's great mysteries.

you could have been talking about

adpaz or

amenquohi or

angstzeit or

az_starshine or

baxaphobia or

boundfate or

browneyedgirl65 or

From:

anyone see the irony in me getting *my* partners user name wrong?

From:

Your slip is showing.

And it could have been ANYONE!

From:

anyone???

hmm... anyone...

::puts on gnome thinking hat::

From:

kittenboo.livejournal.com

*sniff* what about me?

From:

kashivoltimand.livejournal.com

OOO! You missed me!

From:

That was supposed to be another name drop

From:

lacombe.livejournal.com

I like to keep my friends close.

From:

It is being "the enemy" I am worried about!

[I kid! I kid!]

From:

lacombe.livejournal.com

Well, there's that too.

From:

You like me! You really like me!

From:

hella yeah!!!

who else in the world is like you? no one!

you rock!

From:

Normally, I might not realize that was a compliment. ;)

From:

well.. you know me ::wink::

i might just be bringing you in for the kill!

hee hee hee

[nah - you rock! i hope you knew i thought that before this...]
[shit... i think

spydielives hippy lovein is having an effect on me]

From:

Girl, you're crazy, I don't know what you really think. I've been neglecting the community. :( I'll have to correct that.

From:

NOW you blame me for something good.

Figures.

From:

Well, she does.

The jury is still out for me.

*grin*

[I kid here too. I luvs you]

From:

*pouts*

I miss you partner!

From:

eqfe.livejournal.com

agreed

From:

::applauds::

From:

She really outdid herself, didn't she?

From:

kithan.livejournal.com

*holds up lighter and sways back and forth*

From:

Now that we have the silliness out of the way, I am doing ok this morning. Feeling a little tired, but I think that is in anticipation of a weather change.

We have some more great basketball tonight (No, I will not get sick of it, not until the first weekend in April!).

I am not caught up on my reading of the entries posted so far, but I do know that of the ones I have read, I am really impressed. I found myself wanting to step out of the competition with a major insecurity complex at one point.

Anyone else having a strange sort of week, where the random butterfly fluttering, which at first seems so completely out of sync with one's well-ordered life, suddenly falls into perfect alignment in the grand scheme of the universe, but in a weird way?

From:

*thinking about sending out random texts to my favorite people*..

Umm...I'll do that later...

From:

roina-arwen.livejournal.com

My seat belt is in my car, which is where I should've been 15 mins ago, but instead I'm running late to finish packing (mostly, my laptop) so I can drive up to Cincinnati directly after work instead of having to come home first.

I'm posting this from hubby's laptop, since he's not home yet!

We're going to Millenicon in Cincinnati this weekend, only we have to drive up separately since he has to work tonight (he's a 3rd shift fellow) so hubby won't be joining me until tomorrow.

And I didn't even realize I was coming apart!! :)

Gonna leave now, TTFN - have a great day, y'all!

From:

Have a great trip!

From:

drive safe!!!

From:

*waves*...got your email... :)

Have a great time...and be SAFE!

From:

digitaldurga.livejournal.com

Uh oh.

I don't have a seatbelt.

Where are we going?

And why are we in this handbasket?

Awwwwwwwwww

From:

Haven't seen you here for ages.

::hugs::

From:

DUB!

Are you feeling better hon?

From:

I'm Bright eyed and bushy-tailed after sleeping most of yesterday and drinking lemon tea for the rest of the day.

From:

I am so glad to hear it!

From:

digitaldurga.livejournal.com

Spydie told me about this fun, I'm just a cameo appearance though. :)

I am often on yahoo messenger though, if you want to look for me there.

From:

*blows you a kiss*

Hi sweetie!

From:

I don't have a seatbelt either, and don't even have a car. So unless someone wants to drive me, I guess I'm not going wherever we're all meant to be going. :-)

I have a feeling it's a one-way trip for more than just two teams this week.

From:

*hugs*

I don't want anyone going anywhere, and I am going to do everything in MY power to stop it.

Glares at ThePeanuTButter sandwich people.

From:

I don't want anyone going anywhere either this week, and wish we had the power to keep everyone in the game!

Damn, now I want peanut butter. :-)

From:

roina-arwen.livejournal.com

I'm not surprised you don't have a car. If you DID have a car, I don't think I'd be wanting you to drive it... talk about a blind spot!!!

From:

Do you want to hear some of my driving stories? heheheheh

From:

Much better, thank you.

Except that my car is "fixed" (no baby cars from here)...and the "check engine light went on AGAIN within five miles of home.

::quietly tearing hair out and calling mechanic::

From:

Tom Petty impression

"I would buy you a new car.."

From:

You are so sweet. Wouldn't care about shiny and new as long as the bloody thing ran without problems for a year or two.

I keep buying lemons and getting squeezed to make lemonade :(

From:

I know a great mechanic who could probably find you a fantastic car that would fit the bill. Do you want me to ask him when I am in town next week?

From:

Seriously??!! Yes PLEASE!!

From:

I will talk to Chip and see what he can come up with then. He always knows someone who is selling/trading in their cars, and they are usually ones he has worked on for years.

The last time I asked, he had a '96 Mazda protege for under $2K. I am sure he can find us something we can work with.

From:

You are the BEST!

From:

*SHHHHH*

We can't have it get out that I might be a nice person. People might start expecting it from me all the time; just when gnome and I are trying to trade places!

From:

what's this trying?
i thought the deal was sealed in blood?

From:

puppetmaker40.livejournal.com

Getting ready for LunaCon. I have to pack a bunch of stuff and feed the kids then we are off. Our kitty sitter has the keys and is ready to house sit.

From:

is

spydielives hiding here?

From:

lilerthkwake.livejournal.com

Good morning.

Late (for work) as per usual. Me = suck.

Gary, Gary, Gary... you are a phenomenal tease.

From:

i know! if he was a woman he'd be called all sorts of rude names!

From:

If he were a woman...

GRAP?!

What would we do if he were a woman?

From:

you owe

ewok_626 a dollar in royalty fees!!!

From:

and if we mention Grap both in name and icon?
Do you two have to split the royalties?

From:

no - they are cubed!!!

From:

$1 cubed confetti!

From:

so that will be... one x one, carry the bacon, minus a cookie, pass the cheetos and hold the poll = $1,000,000

pay up!

From:

MINUS a cookie? What are you, a hippykicker?

...and I am NOT holding your poll, not even with an invoice. ::weg::

From:

digitaldurga.livejournal.com

I am so confused....

From:

just go with the flow and not occasionally - no one will notice... trust me!

From:

don't make me bring back the hippie!

you're only making matters worse by continuing to post with that icon!

will you tickle my poll if i ask nicely?

From:

What are you going to do? Spank me if I don't stop?

From:

hmm...

::thinks::

want to IM with me???

::evil grin::

From:

I don't think gnome has a poll.

She is more of a box person.

*ducks really, REALLY quickly*

From:

let

dubheach come on yahoo.live with me and find out for themselves!

From:

::sigh:: not during work hours. Thanks for the invite.

From:

*wonders how she can get a catch phrase and start making money, or at least cookies, out of idol*

From:

::tries a catch phrase on::

what you talkin about

spydielives

From:

These cookies are GRAP!

From:

I only pay when the invoice is presented.

*quickly going back and trying to erase the evidence*

GRAP!!

Can't edit comments once replied to!

From:

ha ha ha!!!

sucker!

ewok_626 is going to be rich rich rich i tell ya!

From:

lilerthkwake.livejournal.com

But all the boys would want to date him!

From:

no they wouldn't -

kithan would have gotten to them first and they'd have no energy left to date someone else!

From:

lilerthkwake.livejournal.com

LOL! You're terrible!

From:

pssst... spydie over here!!!

From:

kittenboo.livejournal.com

you is crazy girl!

From:

don't let it get out!!!

[lovely icon!!!]

From:

you are just noticing this now?

From:

hey - don't act like you've known all along... i hide it well!

From:

TAG!

From:

dang... ok - you go hide and i'll find you!

From:

*muffled noises*

Uh. Are we still playing? Hello? Hello?

From:

98... 99.... 100

getting a massage this morning, leaving in about 15 minutes, husband watching the boy.

From:

speaking of teasing!

From:

eqfe.livejournal.com

Now I'm jealous, that's just what the doctor ordered for these sore muscles from too much gardening...Enjoy

From:

kashivoltimand.livejournal.com

I want a massage!!!!!!

From:

minikin.livejournal.com

Oh, that sounds exciting! I LOVE roller coasters!

Another busy day for me. I'm out 'til 2, then off a 3 again. Life Group, KQJr decorating in the morning. Then I'm driving Flar to the foot doctor, to get his toenail removed. I've got 3-7 blocked off for Flar care,
and I'm really hoping to slip away for an hour to attend No Stones at The Mat.

Tigger's sleepover starts at 5, and Knight has graciously offered to be the adult on duty for guest drop off.

I should have lots of down time tomorrow to read and vote. Good luck everybody!

From:

We were so close to 100 comments by 9am.

That is a wrap folks. Better luck tomorrow.

[no, don't stop commenting... but maybe stop the silliness... Nah]

From:

i *demand* a recount!!!

*pout*

From:

i'll meet you back here tomorrow!

From:

how close did we come?

From:

96 by my count, er, review.

From:

tryslora

*does the happy dance of TGIF*

I am soooooo glad for the weekend. Does anyone have big plans for the weekend? I'm hoping to get some relaxing done, after the errand running and rearranging of the downstairs kitchen.

Should I try to sew the new cushion covers for my family room sofa?

From:

WE DID IT spydielives!!!

100 COMMENTS IN THE GR BEFORE 9AM!!!

hi, my name is

gnomeangel and i suffer from premature posting...

Edited Date: 2008-03-14 01:13 pm (UTC)

From:

That is ok. It happens to everyone, once in a while.

(I hear there is medication for it, if PP happens too frequently for your happiness)

From:

hey! we could try for 300 comments before 10am!!!

From:

*bites lip*

I worry people would kill us!

From:

pffft...

i laugh in the face of danger

muwhahahahahaa

From:

xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com

I woke up approximately 15 minutes ago. Right now I'm downing breakfast. I need to get dressed and be at the groomer's at 10. Ember *points to icon* is going to have a Spa Day!

Other than that and a couple of errands, I'll be recovering right over there on the couch *motions to the other room* If anyone needs me, that's where I'll be.

From:

adpaz.livejournal.com

Kizzypartnerdarling, you MUST be sleepy 'cause that's definitely not Ember in your icon! :p

From:

xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com

Oh yeah, you're right...

*switches icon*

She wasn't too happy once we got there, but when I told her "It's OK," she happily trotted off with the groomer.

From:

kithan.livejournal.com

I'm dead tired and a little cranky.

But this cheered me right up. You all need to check this out. :)

Are you afraid it is going to get lost in all the rest of the silliness?

[It is genius]

From:

chazari.livejournal.com

Good morning. Everybody checking to make sure they know where their seat belts are?

That does not bode well. Gary, what sort of changes are you cooking up? I am intrigued...

From:

Mornin all. Luckily my boss said that I don't have to work until NOON today, but that also means I won't see the polls until after 7pm. Oy!

*scampers off to start/finish entry*

From:

it's ok - i've been keeping an eye on your royaltys. we'll soon have that airfare for you the way

debheach is throwing around the word grap!

grap! i just said it... ::pays you another dollar::

grap! i said it again... ::pays you another dollar::

[is

gnomeangel smarter than a hamster... runs off to add simpson references to banned icon themes ]

From:

*grins* They were finding me cheap airfare to Vegas last night in Live. You may get to eat those Reese's sooner than you thought!

From:

GRAP! You don't know how to spell my name!

I'm feeling awfully lazy today.

From:

*me too*

From:

kathrynrose.livejournal.com

Geez! There's already 124 comments in the green room and I'm just getting here. I don't have time to read them all.

Can someone pass me the bacon? I'm headed back to work.

From:

I blame the gnome.

*looks at you innocently*

From:

kathrynrose.livejournal.com

I was born in the mornin, but it wasn't THIS mornin.

From:

why do i *always* get the blame... i tell you, form one alliance and for the rest of your life you're a marked gnome!

From:

You did start it.

*giggle*

What? I meant the commenting thing, of course...

*whistles*

From:

if my memory is correct... it was in fact YOU miss "i got 7"

From:

I wouldn't have said anything if you hadn't kept me from remarking it was first post in the FIRST place.

From:

well i wouldn't have had to say anything if you hadn't posted first in the first place.

From:

But then we would have been tied... and no one wants that.

From:

If I make a remark about you two being tied I would be in big trouble.
Grap!

From:

Especially because it would be one REALLY long rope...

From:

It's 1am, and around 95dgs or something horrible like that.

I can't wait for summer to be over!!

Anyone want some hot weather?? :-)

From:

YES PLEASE!!!

From:

That's great! You can have it all. Unless you think a trade for half your cold weather would work, then we could both have semi-decent temperatures. :-)

From:

pfft.

Who worries about a little global climate change between friends?

From:

I'll take some hot weather!!! I'm tired of looking at snow.

From:

*forgets that your seasons are different from ours*...

So.it's summer now and it's our spring??..umm..

So when it's summer here it's fall there?

*turns on fan for you*...
