15 July 2005

I'm going out to get some beer. Anyone want anything?
post by: mudpuppie at: 15:38 | 60 comments
OH YEAH. Get me some Pimms, and I can mix it with fresca and lots of chopped up oranges and limes. Then I'll have some beer (Sam Adams, please) while I'm waiting for it to cool down then I'll come back to the Pimms.

Thanks, mudpuppie!

I'd like some gum, please and if it's not too much trouble --

---I'd also like a newspaper. Thanks!

I would say sidecars all around, but it's summer, so I'm in gimlet mood.

You know why I drink sidecars and gimlets? Because it's impossible to sip either one without smiling (they're a little tart).

A package of unscented tampons and three ... no, four jars of maraschino cherries.

And a toilet plunger.

Duct tape, please?
posted by iconomy 15 July | 15:59
One always smiles at a little tart, Hugh.
posted by gaspode 15 July | 16:03
Got it. Pimms, Sam, gum, Enquirer, drug paraphernalia, tampons (not the smelly kind), lots of cherries, plunger, duck tape.

(No, really, it was originally *duck* tape. True story. Quack.)

Uh yeah, some beer. I thinks it's a Modello afternoon. You fly, I'll buy. Here's ten bucks. Thanks.

Could you get me a Double Decker and a bag of Salt & Vinegar crisps. Cheers.
posted by dodgygeezer 15 July | 16:10
Fabric, like cotton duck, right?
posted by Hugh Janus 15 July | 16:10
Oh salt and vinegar chips, dodgy, you just gave me an instant craving.

First gained popularity among soldiers in WWII because it would hold up in water. Kept their boots dry. So, duck tape. Later became popular with electricians. Hence, duct tape.

I saw it on PBS. It must be true.

A couple of hard-working people that speak little to no english so I can make them work in my gardens and pay them 50 cents an hour. Er..

Could you pick up a tin of tomatoes? And we're out of kitchen towels.

I'll give you some money when you get back.
posted by carter 15 July | 16:27
iconomy and her duct tape... My my.

Howsa bout you pick me up some strawberries and red wine? Also, I really, really could use a fresh ice pack for my tummy.
posted by Specklet 15 July | 16:29
And some first class stamps.
posted by carter 15 July | 16:32

posted by carter 15 July | 16:32

Carter, forget that. Just use the intended address as the return address. Send it sans postage. Maybe it will be returned to the intended address. Be a stamp objector.
posted by mudpuppie 15 July | 16:34
Specklet, is your tummy healing? did the honey help?

(just to derail, some)
posted by gaspode 15 July | 16:38
I say! First class, indeed!
posted by Hugh Janus 15 July | 16:39
Oh, mind picking up my shirts at the cleaners? It's on the way...
posted by me3dia 15 July | 16:40
Beer would be great thanks. And some salted peanuts, condoms, and some illegal fireworks.
posted by tr33hggr 15 July | 16:41
salt and vinegar for me too
i'm irking it
posted by ethylene 15 July | 16:45
And a mint Aero, if they have them. Otherwise, a Flake. Ta!
posted by carter 15 July | 16:46
Some rope... the softer kind, though, not hemp or plastic.
Oh, and a bottle of Grey Goose.

And some of that whipped cream that comes in the can.
thanks, you're a dear!
posted by kellydamnit 15 July | 16:46
Wait, wait.

Salted condoms, illegal peanuts, vinegared wife and canned hemp??? Slow down!
posted by mudpuppie 15 July | 16:48
Do you need a list?
posted by carter 15 July | 16:55
Please.
posted by mudpuppie 15 July | 16:58
Salted condoms

it hurts just thinking about that
posted by kellydamnit 15 July | 16:59
I'm working on it ...

All I have to say right now is this:

There is a special corner of Hell reserved for auditors, whether they deserve it or not.

Depends which side is salted.

...Wait, no it doesn't. Ouch.
posted by me3dia 15 July | 17:11
Trick is, to lick off the salt first (and have a shot of tequila).

tequila, mudpuppie! We need tequila!
posted by gaspode 15 July | 17:13
And limes!
posted by kellydamnit 15 July | 17:19
Salted outside, lime-flavored condoms. And tequila.
posted by matildaben 15 July | 17:25
limes for gimlets, too
posted by Hugh Janus 15 July | 17:25
Tequila we already have in stock.
posted by mudpuppie 15 July | 17:27
It's strange... all of a sudden I want to get drunk and eat lots of salty food. And have sex.

Metachat is obviously a corrupting influence. I'm so glad I'm here.

In that case, how 'bout some white patent leather platform shoes?

Size 8s already in the back room. Must bring your own feather boa, though.

Funyuns, please.

Cramps?

Ice for cramps? That would make them worse! No, see, I'm whingeing about my burned little tummy again.

Specklet, is your tummy healing? did the honey help?

Yes, I liberally smeared honey on it twice a day until today, which was vitamin E smearing day. It itches so bad I want to die. No kidding. The ice makes it numb, but makes me cold. Booze helps, but I'm not off work for another two and a half hours. I'm dying.

All of the sudden?
You mean everyone else doesn't think that all day long???

oh dear.
posted by kellydamnit 15 July | 17:41
I mean over and above the baseline, kelly. Although, I too am still at work and all three are sadly beyond my reach (I'm in a lab, so can't even do the food thing!) Leaving soon though, yay!
posted by gaspode 15 July | 17:43
a few chip crumbs in the petrie agar, meh
posted by ethylene 15 July | 17:49
Hey, it's beer Friday at work, so I won't be needing anything.
posted by goatdog 15 July | 17:55
nah, it's more I don't wanna get the rat fur in my food.
posted by gaspode 15 July | 17:55
awesome, I'm out. Just a short 90 minute commute till I can have some sweet, sweet beer.
posted by gaspode 15 July | 18:01

Do you work in heaven?
posted by Slack-a-gogo 15 July | 18:02
I work part-time in ad-agency hell, but they give us beer and Krispy Kremes on Friday as an apology. And then there's the Fruit of the Week. Hey, maybe this isn't so bad after all.
posted by goatdog 15 July | 18:06
Beer and Krispy Kremes? Sounds like a recipe for bloat.

Not that I'd turn either down if offered...
posted by me3dia 15 July | 18:12
Come on downtown, me3dia. Tell the guy at the desk goatdog said you could come up.
posted by goatdog 15 July | 18:19
I'm leaving early, dammit. And I'm going to stop and the store and get ice cream and eat it and then take a nap. Then I'm going to wake up and drink some wine and go out. Anyone for strip Jeopardy at No Fish Go Fish?
posted by Specklet 15 July | 18:30
Ooh, ooh! Strip Jeopardy!!

"I'll take potent potables for $500, Specklet."
posted by mudpuppie 15 July | 18:51
mudpuppie, this bitter Italian aperitif is one of my favorite things to put in gin.

Holy cow strip Jeopardy is fun. I'm not competing tonight because I'm disfigured, but there's bound to be some good lookin' people gettin' nekkid.
posted by Specklet 15 July | 19:07
we've all seen, or at least imagined, your disfigured belly.

don't be shy.
posted by mudpuppie 15 July | 19:10
Hmm, thinking about the last time I applied honey and ice to someone. This could go well with the hemp rope too I think.

Specklet: What Is Campari. (Let's make Jasmines, I just bought some lemons)
