Do I want to see digital pictures of jonmc's nuts? I think not.

Everything is SFW, wendell, don't worry.

posted by jonmc 04 June | 19:11

You're being redundant, BigMC, because SFW stands for "Safe For Wendell"...

First time I've seen photos of Pips.

I like her.

152 pictures?!? Nothing like wretched excess, eh? Now, about those captions... May I suggest a slightly less discontinous narrative flow? It makes me dizzy over a dialup.

warbaby, I told ya I went nuts, man. I can't help it, I'm like a kid with a new toy.

posted by jonmc 04 June | 21:36

jonmc, you are a kid with a new toy. And I let myself get sucked in, and overcooked my linguini. What the hell kinda Italian makes a woman overcook her linguine?!?

Well, you can't serve it unless it's al dente. That would be an infamia.

posted by jonmc 04 June | 21:52

Well, it's only just past al dente, and the Scot in me ganged up with the incredibly lazy person and made me serve it anyway. It's just for me, so no-one needs to know.

oops

Thanks, though, FFF! ; )

Really danf? 'Cause I was considerin' trimmin' 'em, before they wander off on their own (a la Andy Rooney).

And Buon Appetito, elizard! : )

posted by Pips 04 June | 22:02

Grazie, Pips the Lovely! It was pretty good, but the sauce will be better tomorrow, as always.

posted by elizard 04 June | 22:20

Well I am a sucker for eyebrows on women. . .One on either side. .preferably over the eyes. . .

so do people in NY hate their trash guys? I thought everybody liked the trash guys.

They're in good shape, they make a good living, they aren't stuck on themselves, and they come home with the coolest stuff!

I really enjoyed this little wander through Jon and Pips' weekend. The laundromat was cool. In the UK most people have their own washing machines so the launderettes (as we call them here) are much smaller than yours. The one where I have to wash my big quilt (won't fit in my machine) has about 8 machines, all of which are ancient. The woman who works there is in her 70s, but is utterly beautiful. Next time I go there I'll take her picture. I really like her, she's interesting and funny too.

Why do you keep your cereal in the fridge?

posted by flopsy 05 June | 05:52

Roaches.

posted by jonmc 05 June | 09:09

And the occasional mouse...

A few bats now and then...

The rare anteater...

(they like Fruity Pebbles)

posted by Pips 05 June | 09:25

I hear mudpuppie's got some extra praying mantiseses. As I commented in her thread, they're supposed to be excellent at keeping the roach population down. They eat the eggs and everything, and after a while all you're left with is a very hungry praying mantis. Or so I've heard.

Of course, that only works if you don't mind a mantis or two on the loose in your place.

posted by elizard 05 June | 09:35

I do rather adore praying mantiseses... I used to see them sometimes in my parents' backyard.

The cereal in the fridge, though, is really just preventive measures. We're lucky, by NYC standards, to see only the ocassional roach (maybe two sightings a year -- those huge "water bug" ones that crawl out of the drains), and the ocassional mouse.

I appreciate the information, though... good for future reference. : )
