8518 - HP Lovecraft's Birthday... again, already?

[scottobear]

Palmtran rather stinks. Route 92 only runs until 5pm on Saturday? That made a 2pm walkabout sort of tight.

Plus, it was raining.

Plus, I'm a big ol' lazy slacker man who preferred to lounge around the hacienda all day.

So, no Sugar Sand Saturday. Perhaps Sunday is the day to do it? We'll see how sturdy I am about pursuing it.

First bus is at 730 am (I'll shoot for be on the 10am ride - It *is* Sunday after all)

Saturday was devoted to lounging about the house, playing with Newton, watching the first four episodes of The Shield (good call, graypumpkin!), browsing Weird Maryland, sleepy talk on IM / looking to the week ahead, napping to the sound of rain... and having veggie burgers for dinner.

Maroone Moonlight Movies returns to Huizenga Plaza on Friday, August 25th at Sundown! (I'll be buttering birthday noses, but it's good to see the movies back now that it's cooling off again) It's pooch friendly, and the movie is All Dogs Go To Heaven.

Fiesta Ft. Lauderdale is next weekend, too.

Moment of Lyric - mp3 or youtube video

Mr. Jones
Put a wiggle in your stride
Loosen up
I believe he'll be all right
Changing clothes
Now he's got ventilated slacks
Bouncing off the walls
Mr. Jones is back!
Bulge out
And wind your waist
Tight pants
Got curly hair
Drinking cold beer
From metal cans
Moonshine
And Handi-Wipes!
Mr. Jones is back in town
it's his lucky day
Hold up your hands and shout
Jones is on his way
Pitter pat
Mr. Jones is back in town
Aces high
Now his pants are falling down
He looks so fine
In those patent leather shoes
Mr. Jones, you look tired
I believe you'll be all right
Sales men
Conventioneers
Some rock stars
With tambourines
Short skirts
And skinny legs
Selling bibles
And real estate
It's a big day for Mr. Jones
He is not so square
Mr. Jones will stick around
He's everybody's friend
Fast cars
And motorbikes
I'm sure glad
He's on our side
The Jones Gang
Down at the bar
Watch out, this time
They've gone too far
They call for Mr. Jones
They put him in charge
Mr. Jones will help us out
He's a lucky guy
It is Mr. Jones' Birthday party
For another year
In his hotel room Party favors
It's a holiday

Glad to hear you like the shield.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

interesting that they cut out a story element from the pilot to give it bigger impact later on down the line!

[graypumpkin.livejournal.com]

Yeah I thought was pretty cool too. I think Dutch is my favorite character, probably the most “good” character on the show though even he stumbles a few times.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Dutch seems to be the only one with a very solid moral baseline. I certainly can respect the character vic's results, if not his other behaviors.

i think you are the sweetest and that Newtie is darling.
I hear you about the lounging part. I do too much of that myself.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

oh, thank you so much!

a little rest can go a long way!

Strudy seems to be the word of the day :D

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

You think you'll be buttering noses!

Re: Strudy seems to be the word of the day :D

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

ACK STURDY! geez.

By the way I don't know if I told you this but I've actually moved since we last talked---if you are coming up this way I need to give you my new contact info so we can get together and do something!

Re: Strudy seems to be the word of the day :D

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

uhoh! I hope my ride from the airport can find the place!

Re: Strudy seems to be the word of the day :D

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I have it on good authority that noses will be buttered.

Buttered noses? Is this what you mean?

In a few parts of Newfoundland, the southwest coast and the west coast in particular, the traditional birthday trick is what is often known as "grease face." The same custom is known in parts of the Maritime provinces of Canada as "buttered noses". As early as is convenient on the birthday someone tries to reach from behind the birthday boy or girl and dab on their nose a fingerful of grease, often butter. This is accompanied by best wishes for the year, now lubricated with the greasy face. Among schoolchildren this custom sometimes takes the form of pushing a sweet, creamy cake in the face.

Or this?

The sheer black rayon and polyester shash is firmly bound around my buttered hair and head to form a berfect black balloon. This beautiful black bubble must be bordered with blastic to reduce the flow of melting butter to a manageable moistness at the nape of the neck. The telltale trickle will be wiped away in regular dainty strokes with a delicate mehareb, a mehareb that has been marinated in odocoloN (eau de cologne). Was I born with a silver spoon? Well, a wooden one, anyway, and not in my mouth. The same lega QibiI put on my head has been melted down and carefully poured down my nose with my wooden spoon, on many occasions. Butter on the head? Butter down the nose? "What for? What for?" you ask. To purify my blood, and preserve my bones of course! Ah...the purity of blood, the essence of bone, one simply cannot buy it, nor doesn it change through time.

I think number one...but it is only done after the wicker man has been burned. :D

Re: Strudy seems to be the word of the day :D

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

the former is certainly the one I had in mind... but if the birthday girl isn't careful....

Re: Strudy seems to be the word of the day :D

And here I was just thinking how some pancakes with a pat of butter would be lovely--bah--that's sooo not gonna happen now bub!

Re: Strudy seems to be the word of the day :D

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

awww... don't you want birfday pancakes?

I may have to sic Buttery Pat on you!

Buttery Pat

Buttery Pat is the sidekick of The Breadmaster. He seems to be made entirely of butter, and that allows him to act as both a baking accessory and a weapon (picture an oil-slick). As far as sidekicks go, he's probably about the most cool (excluding Arthur of course...)

Appearances: The Tick vs. The Breadmaster, Tick vs. Dot and Neil's Wedding, Tick vs. Europe

Re: Strudy seems to be the word of the day :D

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

So what happens to buttery Pat on his birthday?

Re: Strudy seems to be the word of the day :D

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I think he's set... pre-buttered!
