Spongebob would be considered a Sea Monster, not a Swamp monster. DUH! 

Congrats on the job!  Something to get you by will be nice.

TOP O" THE CYPRESS TREE!!!

Good deal Andy, sign of a true man, gets it done whatever it takes. We had a guy come in here the other day and turned down a job offer cause he said it was better for him to be on unemployment. Crazy, our drivers do very well. He just didn't wanna work. AND he has a family. I guess better for us to find out his slacker nature now, right? I notice a lot of people are going back to school, particularly in the medical fields.  Nursing, etc.

Yeah, I guess he might make more on unemployment, but that stuff runs out eventually.

I bet he didn't make 1/2 what these guys make. I've seen what max unemployment is,  and it's just to get you thru. It's not wage replacement like workman's comp is.  But you're right it only goes so far then your bennies are used up. I just don't get it brother. I mean, when I walk into my financial guy's office and he tells me I have enough, not one minute more will be spent on work. I've got TONS of stuff I would rather be doing. But until then, I'm gonna work. Even if it's 2 or 3 part time gigs. You gotta do it these days. Every cent you're able to put away gets you closer. And with unemployment, you MIGHT be able to pay the bills and put some groceries in the cubbard.

for Trina...

LOL.

What an afternoon,  i dont know when i will catch up!  looks like it has been pretty slow on here,  Mark most of those people want something for nothing they really piss me off i would love to tell that guy what he is sngmf ranks right up there with most of the people living on welfare!  I said most because there are some who really do need help!  and im all for helping  those who need help!  Its just now days the picture is cloudy and it gets harder and harder to seperate those who really need help!  well im packing it in for the day!

I cant wait to hear Trina on that one!  

Man, this forum drew vacuum today.  Trina in school, and the rest of you guys working 2 hard.  Hope it picks up tomorrow.

I blame the Swamp Monsters!

That guys a fool Mark.  If you work part time on Unemployment you STILL get a partial check from them.  When I was subbing at the school I worked three days one wek and it only dropped my check 20 bucks the next week.  I made WAY more than that from the school.

I'll be out of pocket tomorrow so dont use up any really great themes - In other words save mad Scientist until I get back!  I gots a great one for that day.

I think I feel Dr Horrible approaching. Right, Andy?

favorite slasher today then.

Is it just me or is the forum downloading slowly today?

Yes, veeerrrrrry slooooooowly.  It is quite irritating.

It's almost here.

The forum must be running on molasses today. I see they've got Jackie Earle Haley playing FK, good deal for him. His career is making a semi-comeback, with Watchmen and NMOES. I thought he was very good in Watchmen. Even slower in here today (attendance wise). 

I dont' watch horror movies!! So... I have no favorite slasher! 

GOOD MORNING! Did ya miss me yesterday?? I was just busy, busy...

started choir practice last night too. Handel's Messiah.  2.5hrs of it.... 9wks...  I'll be singing it in my sleep soon.

Never mind! I found a slasher I can handle!! 

it won't post! 

Why oh why!!! 

 *** oh, there it is!! yeah!***

Where oh where has my little friends gone?

Oh where oh where can they be??

With their smart little mouths,

and their slasher pictures...

oh where oh where can they beeeee? 

I am having trouble tolerating the speed of the loads.  Doing other things instead.  Good to see you Trina.

Mark, did you forget about his starring role in Semi-Pro?

Didn't see it. I also remembered he had an important role in Little Children. Very good but slightly disturbing movie.

I never heard of that one.  May not want to.

Helloooooooooooooooooooooooo?

I'm making homemade corn chips and cheese dip for a snack... mmmmmmm

thinking about making some sourdough bread too. We'll see.

I've got some chili goin' in the crock pot. Should be good by the time I get home. Haven't decided whether we'll do corn chips or corn bread. I do know which is easier, I don't make my own corn chips.

Which one?

Some good ol' Mexico Chiquito cheese dip sounds good.  (that or the plain old Velveeta and Rotel variety.)

We did chili the other night.  I may have to make some White chili.

I love a good snack! MMMMmmm

Well, when I make chili with chicken I still make it like regular chili.

Didn't Mexico Chiquita have that kick azz punch? Ruby Tuesdays does a good white chili.

Hey, it's a little faster.

@Mark - Either that or Gene Wilder

And I claim Peter Boyle for Frankensteins Monster day...hee hee hee

OK..I chose my favorite slasher

Yeah, MC punch and cheez dip r da bomb!

Andy, your favortie?  U R going to some place hot. (p.s. not Aruba)

So Andy when are you getting into Mobile?? 

Ho ho ho, looks like the skunk ape decided to show  up.  I vote for Andy's as the scariest avatar for the day. PUTTIN' ONLARITZZZ!!!!

I see Stacy is still alive as well.  She is online right now.  She must learn to hide her name if she just wants to do read-bys.

Hey there Skunk Ape.

I hope this forum runs faster tomorrow.  I will send a message to the help desk if it doesn't.

Mark, you need to check out a site called Motifake.com if you haven't already seen it.  Some funny stuff on there.

David...FYI...I had to change the avatar and catch up....you guys/gal set the bar high...can't just come do a random post!

Hi all!  Things are kinda slowing down but leaving for a conference on Friday come back Monday...who the heck thought up these conferences....being gone all weekend...seriously??? Geez!

Getting ready to go watch the kiddo play flag football and then home to warm up with some sausage-potato stew!  Yummmmm!  Hope everyone has a good night!  I'll try to be better at my guest appearances!

I was gonna go with Freddy , but I just couldnt pass up OJ...I know Im gonna burn, but its ok Im used to it...thats why I wear the clown makeup...its like sunblock 2000...Hee Hee Hee

What's tomorrow's theme?  I saw Stacy had Jaws up there...maybe we should go with maneating animals...or sharks?

Yeah - lets do sharks...I got a great one for that!

I think I'll start the shark bait bonanza with THIS cheesy classic

The forum is much faster today. Don't know what sharks have to do with Halloween, but hey, I'm easy like Sunday mornin'.

These things are so small on the avatar window it's hard to see.

Looks like Andy is going into the Norse Demi God/ superhero biz. .

what's up peeps!  Flesh eating sharks.

I'm gonna need the recipe for that stew.  Sounds goooo-ood! As always Stacy, nice job on the quote for your avatar.

One of the top 10 quotes of all time in that movie- "We're gonna need a bigger boat"

classic.

Speaking of clown makeup, I need some advice.  If I were to need to wear some for Halloween painting my face white.  What should I use that won't be sticky or rub off?  Also like a clown, will need to be able to draw designs over the white without the white blending with what I put over it.  I know the stuff at the costume shops probably won't be able to do it, so some advice from our resident clown would be a great help.

Yes, the forum is much faster today.  Thank goodness!  It was like pulling teeth yesterday.

I have a great avatar I saw yesterday. I just hope I can find it and it doesn't offend anybody. LOL!

Take offense? Us? NEVAH!!!!!

I would never do anything to be racist, I just see the funny in things.

Although it might have been funnier if there was a dollar bill floating on the surface.
