Really Quickly...
Are we all following the RIDICULOUSLY hilarious comments section on my post about the FedEx lady asking me how to spell Kuwait? (Two posts down.) I just want to point out that as of this moment: ALL the people commenting are related to me and ALSO, that I am SO GLAD I opened up comments to everyone because my family has taken it to a place that I cannot even begin to describe. All I know is that there is a discussion going on about "Luna Bars" and the phrase "wormhole". If I knew we were going to have a comments party, I would've posted something about the idiocy of the American people a LONG time ago.
What? You want an invite to the comments party? GO! GO I SAID! And also, if you want to START a comments party on THIS post, I'm going to give you a choice of three topics:
1 - Farfalle ("Bowtie") Pasta - Friend or Foe?
2 - Global Warming, is Al Gore being dramatic?
3 - Do you think I'm pretty?
PS to Deanna--
Let's see if we can top the number of comments on the FedEx post. GO.

Crap. I'm heading home right now. You'll have to start without me. I'll catch up later. I have 3 extra hours than you do -- ha ha ha. Damn East Coast people.
THEN WHY DO *YOU* GET TO GO HOME, SLACKER?!? *I'm* the one heading home! I knew there was a reason my mom never let me hang out with you.
Isn't it amazing that I'm 3 hours behind you yet I get to leave 3 hours before you? Hmmm. Is that right?
Anyway, your Mom never let you hang out with me as I can, apparently, bend space and time (cripes -- are we back on physics again?).
As for farfalle -- foe! Takes too damn long to cook.
I'm a fan of gemelli. And I ain't referring to the accessories to the tendon of the Obturator internus.
Good lord, I know it's late in your neck of the clearcut, but where's all the posting action?
Although I agree that the visage of Al Gore and Laura dining on bowtie pasta whilst discussing the global population explosion of jellyfish is pretty indeed, I wonder if the topics are not stimulating enough to inspire widespread blogging?
Might I suggest a few?
Suggest away my good woman. I disappeared because I have WORK and a JOB and a demanding career.
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I kid! I was eating chocolate covered raisins!
Chocolate covered raisins? That's not a euphemism for nuts over chocolate, is it?
You naughty girl!
Children, children, children...need I remind you how childish and churlish you are being? Puh-LEEZE~
Bowtie pasta, ha, friend, of course. I care enough about MY children to slave the extra minutes to make bowtie, Deanna!
BUT you bring up a great point about gemelli. But don't go scientific on me, that part of the brain doesn't work very well.
Al Gore, still a bore even though he's onto something. Hold your noses as the Arctic melts.
As for Laura being pretty, let's see, I am her mom, she does take after both sides of the family so, she is pretty indeed! Quite gorgeous.
Now, let the posting begin. Oh where, oh where can Paul Andrew be? Probably retaking Calculus 2 or is it 3? Ha - I am a poet!
Aye. I have been caught. I am a lazy mother, it is true. I do prefer the sauce carrying capacity of the bowtie. My house of cards falleth.
I am on my out way to bursting a lung (aka jogging). Perhaps I will come up with some fantastically exciting topic to keep this post moving...
Perhaps we can start with pandemic flu -- friend or foe???
Ode to a Seattle Streetlamp
Belly full of gemelli*
I head out for a late-night run
But why, dear sweet Seattle lamppost
Do you turn off before I'm done?
Does my dorky LED headlamp
Perplex and leave you senseless?
So instead of shining brightly
You throw me into blackness
I'm left to depend on my tiny lamp
That attracts bugs far and wide
Like a bobbing portable buzz zapper
Without killing power on my side
-------------------------------
*here's the tenuous link for this post
Damn you Seattle engineers!!!
Oh my God. There's nothing to get comments rolling like a POEM admitting you wear a head lamp while you're out for a jog. And while I DEFINITELY SUPPORT THAT in favor of not falling down and killing yourself, it is indeed a rather entertaining image.
Pandemic flu? Definitely foe!
Gemelli, ooooooooo SO GOOD!
Perhaps oh Seattle Wonder, you could grace us with a haiku?
What a way to start a morning, reading these comments. I need to get a life.
Have to say, the poem? Brilliant!
Global warming? Of course it's a myth, Al Gore and his silly facts. You think facts prove anything? But let's say facts do prove something, who cares?
The hot areas of our planet are already too freakin' hot so a couple degrees wouldn't make it or break it.
Everywhere else people are complaining how cold it is in the winter now they'll have to buy fewer winter clothes which are made in sweatshops by Kathy Lee Gifford's children, lack of demand will decrease child labor -- sociological benefit.
Warm weather = less home heating = less dependence on foreign oil -- economic and foreign policy benefit.
If it's warmer the Eskimo's won't have to clobber as many baby seals -- benefits to marine life.
The only people who stand to lose out on this deal are Santa and his elves, but they've been wanting to retire and move to Boca for a while now so now Boca's coming to them.
Frankly, do you see the downside? I don't. I'm stocking up on speedo's this winter.
My son in a Speedo - I dohn't want to tink about it!
Oooh! Eskimos in speedos! Maybe only during the dark half of the year.
The only real problem with global warming is that whole polar ice cap melting thing, but aside from that, Paul is right.
Unless you live on the coast. Or are impacted by changes in ocean water temperatures and weather and hurricanes and stuff like that.
Otherwise, I'm looking at San Diego style beachfront property from my house in Seattle. Woohoo!
And I really need to proofread my posts a little better.
Hey, maybe at next summer's Dlug get together, you can get all the Dlug males in speedos. Now, THAT, would be a pretty sight. I'm sure of it!
Woah woah. There should be some line that has to be drawn when speaking of my father's brothers and speedos in the same sentence.
However, I'm really sad that drunk Uncle Joe is dead because who wouldn't pay to see THAT in a speedo!?!?!??
Ummm. I wouldn't.
But then again I've paid money to go to the Museum of Death.
Now that's disturbing.
