KaptnKate got to thinking about friends and decided while it's OK to
miss old friends, the best way to counter that is to add new friends
to the crew. Bits stepped up to the chalkline and sent out a toast
using words from a song she learned as a child....
Make New Friends
But Keep the Old
One is Silver
And the other Gold

Conference News
A Conference/Chat report from Sandra:
If you missed Sticker Night in JayJ's
Little Corner, you missed playing with some of the
funniest people around.
Stickers were passed out to each patron upon entry into the hallowed
halls of Callahans Saloon. Nghnam was very worried
about the wart on JayJ's shoulder which later turned
out to be part of her dinner and some oreo cookie stuff, but Nghnam
didn't want to end up being a chip (on JayJ's shoulder)
Jennie, coming to JayJ's defense, pointed out that
chips are very tasty, but Nghnam wasn't convinced. His worry continued
over being one of them stickers that covers corns and warts. A sort
of makeshift removal system... Not for our Nghnam. He needed something
much more sophisticated. DarleneMDM entered the room
and was totally unsure of what to do with her free sticker.
We explained that she just needed to peel it apart and it could be
whatever she wanted it to be, and in the process of trying to unpeel
it, it became stuck to her skin. The poor woman was in serious pain,
until Fuzzy came up with the idea of pouring motor
oil on her stickers. Of course, Nghnam quickly pointed out that oil
is a precious commodity and we have to fight wars to get it.
In all of the confusion, Jennielyn found she had a FFS or faulty keyboard.
She was unable to type much that was coherent.
Before the evening was over, Jennielyn had a sticker glued to her raised
eyebrow, Fuzzy was pouting because he didn't get the 3D belly dancing
sticker, epenthesis joined us to get a free sticker and
was trying to teach us some math codes that no one understood. The
Pixies joined us somewhere along the way and, of course
found many unusual places to stick their stickers. <giggle>
Other enchanting patrons shared the evening, if only briefly.
Pollyguru, who came just in time to help Jennielyn pour vodka
on a sticker that was truly stuck on her eyebrow. However the vodka seemed
to take the eyebrow and all. Jennielyn now has a new unique look.
We all managed to sing more birthday wishes to Fuzzy, who also got a
sticker pasted on the top of his head that said, "It's my birthday,
kiss me." He blushed to his ear lobes, but accepted his florescent
green eyeshadow with grace. We worried about the fire hazard of Fuzzys
cake, but everyone ate the cake and we had a cauldron full of frosting
that everyone devoured.
Our last guest of the evening was ETR7 and it was a treat
to have him here again. He reports that he is overly busy with family and
has little time right now. We wish him well, and hope his time free's up
soon.
We shared a lot of laughs on Sticker Night, we hope you join us for the
next one.
Message Board News
From Sandra:
September brought lots of excitement to the General Discussion folder. Our very
own Jennielyn went to NYCity and tested to be on the
Millionaire show. Jennie passed the test with flying colors and
was 1 of 12 people who did! Yay Jen!!!! Jules and Robyn decided to
bat their eyelashes at Jen, just so she remembered them if she became a millionaire,
which had Cortland pondering, "Do bats have eyelashes?"
MagiCoon (Deb) shot sparklies and confetti at Jennie with a spafetti
cannon and let her know that if she did become a millionaire, we'll be creating
"Jennie's Tab" and buying some new supplies, like boas and wax, for the bar.
JayJ posted an alert on the boards. The BMW that she purchased for
Fuzzy's birthday was gone! Rumor has it that the only thing left behind
where she parked the BMW was crayon residue and a feather from a boa. Hmmmmm....wonder
who it could've been? MagiCoon (Deb) put on her deerstalker cap, magnifying glass and
searched for more clues. Jennielyn claims she is innocent (we all know how that goes.)
Sure you are, Jennie...we believe you :)
Lou put out an APB for his missing Kitchen Fairies. One night he left dishes and glasses in the
kitchen sink and they were still there in the morning! EEK! Carol believes
she saw Lou's fairy spreading dust around her house and let him know she would
be happy to send her back. The Pixies were too busy in the nest with some
Peach Bellinis to notice any fairies. Silky thinks Lou's dish fairy was off
partying with her coffee fairy. MagiCoon corrected Lou and let him know that his Elf is staging
a revolution. Jules and Robyn think maybe the fairies found some Harry Potter books and thought
they were treated unfairly. Fuzzy and Kirwand suggested that Lou stock up on
undergarments because the laundry fairies may be lost too. Antrobus showed up
as a representative for the fairies and let Lou know they had some BIG DEMANDS. Caneguru
thinks she spotted the fairies hanging out with the sock gnomes. Dawn
decided to try to tempt her fairies into returning but was reduced to washing her own dishes.
Lou warned Dawn that he wasn't sure if that was legal. Dawn assured Lou that she did it under
the cover of darkness. Antrobus showed up again letting Lou know that another grievance for pay
to cover lost wages was filed against him. Lou bribed the fairies, and everyone else for that
matter, with Irish Creme---and----well---the negotiations could still be going on....
September also brought Hurricane Rita and she was heading straight towards Gwen (Punstergal)
and her family. Luckily with all our thoughts and prayers and lots of practical advice
from Bits and Cortland, Gwen and her family stayed safe and dry.

Joke of The Month
Officer: Ma'am, you were speeding.
Woman: Oh, I see.
Officer: Can I see your license please?
Woman: I'd give it to you but I don't have one.
Officer: Don't have one?
Woman: Lost it 4 times for drunk driving.
Officer: I see...Can I see your vehicle registration papers please.
Woman: I can't do that.
Officer: Why not?
Woman: I stole this car.
Officer: Stole it?
Woman: Yes, and I killed and hacked up the owner.
Officer: You what?
Woman: His body parts are in plastic bags in the trunk if you want
to see.
The Officer looks at the woman, slowly backs away to his car, and
calls for back up. Within minutes 5 police cars circle the car. A
senior officer slowly approaches the car, clasping his half drawn
gun.
Officer 2: Ma'am, could you step out of your vehicle please!
The woman steps out of her vehicle.
Woman: Is there a problem sir?
Officer 2: One of my officers told me that you have stolen this
car and murdered the owner.
Woman: Murdered the owner?
Officer 2: Yes, could you please open the trunk of your car,
please.
The woman opens the trunk, revealing nothing but an empty trunk.
Officer 2: Is this your car, ma'am?
Woman: Yes, here are the registration papers.
The first officer is stunned.
Officer 2: One of my officers claims that you do not have a driving
license.
The woman digs into her handbag and pulls out a clutch purse and
hands it to the officer. The officer snaps open the clutch purse and
examines the license. He looks quite puzzled.
Officer 2: Thank you ma'am, one of my officers told me you didn't
have a license, that you stole this car, and that you murdered and hacked
up the owner.
Woman: Betcha he told you I was speeding too.

Pun of the Month
An Irishman named O'Leary, who loved to sing as he worked, bought a mule to farm
his garden. The mule worked well but was almost totally deaf. So, when his owner
yelled, "Whoa!", the animal often continued plowing.
Asked how the mule was working out, O'Leary shook his head. "There was a time,
" he said, "when all the neighbors could here was me singing my lilting
melodies." "Lately, I'm afraid, they've heard nothing but...

Poem of the Month -
"Montana Hills"
In the late summer afternoon,
the soft hills of eastern Montana
lie curved and golden,
like the flanks of a sleeping cougar.
Waiting for the cool of evening,
to stretch, yawn, and softly pad into the night.
Will they be there in the morning?
-- Moochas September 6, 2005

Closing Quote
"If you were all alone in the universe with no one to talk to, no one
with which to share the beauty of the stars, to laugh with, to touch, what
would be your purpose in life?
It is other life, it is love, which gives your life meaning. This is harmony.
We must discover the joy of each other, the joy of challenge, the joy of
growth."
- Mitsugi Saotome
