first post.

it's like walking in new snow.

that Fred hasn't written in.

 
At 6:11 PM, Blogger BrendaK said...

And the snow angels are still happy.

We could talk about cooking. I make a Roast Beef of The Gods.

Also, squash casserole and pecan pie of The Gods.

That about covers it for me. Well, of course, cornbread and grits. They'd drum me out of the Southern Women's Club if I couldn't do cornbread and grits. I'd have to be in, like, the NorthWest Women's Club or something.

So, what was up with google this afternoon?

I finally got the comment that hawk wrote on the lexicon, almost 3 hours later.

I'm going to add those synonyms for Frisch from hosedragger.

 
At 6:18 PM, Blogger BrendaK said...

Joe -

It's been weird off and on since early this morning (GA time).

 
At 6:18 PM, Blogger Cthulhu said...

I did try to get "Debinition" into the Lexicon, but it never caught on.

"Debinition" a word that Der Frischenator defines one way, and the rest of the world defines another.

Any usage that begs the response, "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

Not to be confused with words that Deb creates, such as "defamate," though even words she creates can include a Debinition."

 
At 6:19 PM, Blogger Cthulhu said...

Brenda,

Did you harvest your vegetables from the Garden of the Gods?

Sorry. A little Colorado humor. Me being Jeff Goldstein and all.

 
At 6:20 PM, Blogger minteh said...

Brenda~

u oughta Fed-Ex some grits to u-no-who ;)

 
At 6:20 PM, Blogger BrendaK said...

Sulla -

You'll have to apply to Joe. I think I've used up all my credit for the time being.

 
At 6:22 PM, Blogger BrendaK said...

Tim -

I use only the finest grits, gathered at dawn from the most excellent grits plants.

Too good for u-n-hu.

Respect the Grits!

 
At 6:24 PM, Blogger minteh said...

sulla~

Useful word. What are the most common debinitions--i.e., common words taht teh Deb defricates/ mangles?

 
At 6:25 PM, Blogger BrendaK said...

mariposa -

Ok, if I did that to express my cultural heritage, I'd have to make cookies with little faces that have bad teeth, green eyes, an interesting nose, a tiny little sporan and festooned with bird feathers.

I'm thinking they'd be afraid of my cookies.

 
At 6:26 PM, Blogger minteh said...

Bren~

u r ->

My wholehearted apology to the grits...

Waht *was* I tehnking?!

Pelase 4give.

 
At 6:28 PM, Blogger joeschmo1of3 said...

Sulla:

can you remember any frisched-out words and their "debinitions"? If I had some examples, they could definitely get in?

 
At 6:28 PM, Blogger BrendaK said...

Oh, jeez, I forgot one of the heritages. They'd have to be cowardly little cookies, as well.

 
At 6:28 PM, Blogger joeschmo1of3 said...

grr.

get in.

 
At 6:29 PM, Blogger BrendaK said...

Tim -

You are forgiven, of course. You could not know the Secret Society of the Grits Makers. We even have a secret handshake.

 
At 6:30 PM, Blogger Fred the Genius said...

I don't normally repost but this is the only song I ever wrote and it kind of got buried earlier in that magnificent volcano of creativity, otherwise known as Hosedragger.

Sung to the tune of Three Little Fishies

(a-heh-hem)

In the northwest country, where the weather is cool,
Lived a real crazy lady, an isufferable fool.
VBSers gonna take her to school
And make her dance, make her dance,
'Til she craps her pants!

BOOP BOOP
Dancin' monkey flingin' poo
BOOP BOOP
Dancin' monkey flingin' poo
BOOP BOOP
Dancin' monkey flingin' poo

Make her dance, make her dance,
'Til she craps her pants!

TA-DA

 
At 6:30 PM, Blogger Cthulhu said...

Slept late. (You fortunate fools.)

Finally caught up with all of today's posts.

This Frisch person gives me the willies.

 
At 6:31 PM, Blogger Texette said...

BrendaK,

My cookies would look like guns.

 
At 6:32 PM, Blogger minteh said...

Thx, Bren :)

I feel so inadequate around all of these great cooks~~my own culinary talents are strained by making ice!

p.s. teh!™

 
At 6:34 PM, Blogger BrendaK said...

Fred -

It is a masterpiece of rhyme and rhythm, and a worthy entrance to the Poetry Corner.

Merry Frischmas!

 
At 6:35 PM, Blogger joeschmo1of3 said...

Tim:

But, you're the Swedish Chef; you should be good at throwing the pots and pans around.

BJORK, BJORK, BJORK, BJORK!

 
At 6:39 PM, Blogger Cthulhu said...

Joe,

The ones that stuck out the most for me are the ones that keep getting her in trouble:

"pedophile"
1. Someone who sees the humor in having their likeness Photoshopped onto a box of children's cereal, which has been obscenely renamed, by a political opponent.

2. Someone who blogs from home, using "grown-up" words.

"humor"
Count with out the O. See "Pedophile-1". Cuz it's a pun. Get it? *tap tap* is this thing on?

"stalking"
1. what I'm accused of doing, but didn't.
2. What others do to me by quoting me to my boss.

"lie"
What other people say, using "facts" and "logic" to confuse the truth, which is whatever I say it is.

 
At 6:41 PM, Blogger BrendaK said...

mariposa and texette -

I'm such a mix, I usually go with 'Merican Mutt.

I got a little something from each of them. The hair is Irish, the blue-no green-no blue eyes are English, the cheekbones from the Cherokee, the abililty to squeeze a penny until it weeps from the Scots (thanks, Grandma!), the ability to curse in a supercilious manner from the French, and the ability to tell dreck from shinola from the Jewish.

 
At 6:43 PM, Blogger Cthulhu said...

"Freedom of Speech" saying whatever it takes for me to get banned, so that I can claim victimhood for having my free speech rights violated.

Oh, and my previous post doesn't exist. And you're stalking me for leaving it up. i never said it. Blogger Beta was not working earlier today, so I'm sure Sinner and Sulla took the opportunity to alter the logs to make me say things I didn't say. Because I didn't.

 
At 6:43 PM, Blogger BrendaK said...

Ottavarima -

I am so, so sorry. Please give her a ear scratch and belly rub from me.

 
At 6:48 PM, Blogger joeschmo1of3 said...

Sulla:

Ohmigaw, those are priceless. They definitely need to go in as they are very educational for newcomers. They read those, they can dive right in with teh funny®.

 
At 6:49 PM, Blogger Texette said...

Sulla,

Ethics--What you violate when I don't like what you do

 
At 6:50 PM, Blogger Texette said...

Ottavarima,

My heart aches for you. Will pray.

 
At 6:57 PM, Blogger BrendaK said...

Sulla and Joe:

Legality - whatever I think is fair for me

 
At 6:58 PM, Blogger BrendaK said...

mariposa -

I've been making that squash casserole for so long, I don't even have a recipe anymore. I'll try to work it up and post it.

 
At 6:59 PM, Blogger Retired Fireman said...

Ok...back from the walk with my dog Liberty. I see the coward won't show to take me on. I guess she knows when she has met her better. Probably why she stays inside all day.

Sorry about the pup. That sux. I know mine is a huge part of my world.

My signature dish is Tri-tip with whiskey peppercorn sauce, garlic whipped potatos, and asperagus.

 
At 7:01 PM, Blogger Retired Fireman said...

Idiot: Everyine but me. i am the smartest person in the world. Just look at my pee aich deeeee. There may be 4 other people that may come close, but no...I am so smart...I am so smart...s-m-r-t..no, wait...s-m-a-r-t

Yup...a beautiful, sweet blonde haired Golden named Liberty. She snuggles with me on the couch every night.

 
At 7:06 PM, Blogger Fred the Genius said...

Ottavarima,

I have a chocolate lab too. Try not to worry. Your prayer chain has been started.

 
At 7:07 PM, Blogger Retired Fireman said...

Stupid: What I call everyone when they stump me with logic, reason or big words that I don't understand and can't pronounce. This is my catch-all term when I am outgunned in a battle of wits. See: always.

 
At 7:08 PM, Blogger joeschmo1of3 said...

Dudes:

You don't know how right you guys are. I've been in contact with other people via email showing more examples of Frischery. I can't post any of the comments because I don't have the permission of all those involved, but it's basically the same circumstances as the Sadly, No crew when she started trolling for advice on the restraining order.

She really gets around.

 
At 7:08 PM, Blogger Fatwa Arbuckle said...

OttavaRima -

A big hug to you and your Golden (please give him/her an affectionate pat from Unca' Fatwa).

 
At 7:09 PM, Blogger Retired Fireman said...

Google: A mythical website that I am constantly told to use, yet I can not find a link to it anywhere. I firmly believe that the little pissants tell me to use this while tinkling on my ankle to throw me off since I am way more smart than they are and they fear my big brain and Pee Aich Deeeeee

 
At 7:10 PM, Blogger BrendaK said...

hat-trick: A phrase I am too rarified to understand.

Comedy: Rants that other people would laugh at if they weren't so stupid.

Popular Culture: What?

 
At 7:14 PM, Blogger Fred the Genius said...

At 7:16 PM, Blogger Dianna said...

Ottavarina, I'm so very sorry to hear that.

Take care of her.

 
At 7:19 PM, Blogger Petrarchan Motif said...

Dude - *stumbling into the room* (cough) *bleary-eyed* I took the day off of work today, some kind of cold, and slept in most of the day. Took me forever to catch up on all the comments on all the threads.

Dang, Hosedragger, As You Like It, Francis Scott Key, too many other references to cite. Whatever selected bibliography you have in your head, I want a copy.

And Dude, more congrats on the Australanche. Quotes from CNET, and from Glenn Read the whole thing™ Reynolds, this blogging thing is turning into quite the hobby.

Looks like Deb left some chimp tar™ this morning but didn't feel like playing.

Ottavarima, sorry to hear about your dog.

 
At 7:20 PM, Blogger Fatwa Arbuckle said...

OttavaRima -

You didn't hijack the thread; we all sort of jumped in.

Please let us know what you hear on Friday.

And we'll keep teh funny going.

LDSB: Hi mumsie. I just thought I would call and tell you what those big bad meanies over at that little brained website were doing today

Mumsie: Oh Jesus Christ. Don't you have anything better to do? Shouldn't you be looking for a job for Jeebus' sake?

LDSB: Oh now mumsie...you know you don't mean that. Anywhooo, I went there just sweet as can be and asked how everyone was doing. You know me, I would never offend anyone and you know what those big meanies did?

Mumsie: No, but I know you are going to tell me anyway (muttering under breath-Damn...why did I have to be pro-life)

LDSB: those big meanies used big confusing words. They made me feel all stupid and everything. They were demanding to know all this personal information about me. They wanted to know things about when I was wrongfully accused and falsly arrested. They even wanted to know why no woman will have me. So I told them all what big doodie heads they were and stormed out of there. One guy even called me a two-bit, yellow-bellied spineless coward. Can you believe that? I have been crying all day. They hurt my widdle feewings.

Mumsie: you know Deb...maybe you should just grow up. I mean for God's sake, you are 44 years old. You have lost your job, lost your reputation, lost your friends, lost your girlfriend, lost your mind...I mean damn...how much does it take until you get it through that thick skull of yours. Daddums and I can't afford to clean up after you every time you shit somewhere. We're tired of it. You are looking at going to jail and having everything you own taken away from you by the courts. GROW THE HELL UP ALREADY!!! CHEEEEEEEEEERIST WOMAN!!!

LDSB: Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!! You are just as mean as them. And stupid too. You never understood me. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!

So sorry to hear about your dog.

You're in our prayers for a swift and speedy recovery. Camp Bow Wow awaits.

Oh, and Denny Crane! What a shtick you had going on with yourself last night, and also later today.
"Denny Clean!"
"Desperate Crane!"

Awesome stuff

Nice Exley pic! Sick! When did that happen?

(Paraphrased) Into every life a little gas must expand.

(Further Praphrased) Into every living room a fart must waft.

 
At 7:28 PM, Blogger Petrarchan Motif said...

Dude - when the alarm went off this morning, I had aches, chills, a sore throat. No way did I want to spread it around at work, too. Feeling better now. Must have caught it on the L yesterday.

 
At 7:28 PM, Blogger Retired Fireman said...

Look at the bright side Otta...now you can fart yourself, blame the dog and people would HAVE to believe you.

You played video games all day didn't you? C'mon! You can tell me!

Seriously, you have juice? Eat soup?

Oh, and Dude - Rob Schneider from 50 First Dates and Guy Pierce from LA Confidential, can't tell the difference, right?

It's called a "hangover". LDSB gets them every morning

Yoda -

So true, so true. Tell you what though, I'm just have a few special dishes that stand out.

My grandmother, now, is the best cook in the universe and uses not a single recipe. Two of her secrets are an extra egg in every bakery item and lard in everything else. Lard sounds bad, and your thighs won't respect you in the morning, but it's the good stuff.

Grandma said I could tell those secrets, so I guess they aren't anymore.

Dude - I drank green tea all day, not very hungry (yes, hence the sharp as knives cheek bones), and nope no video games...kinda zoned out on replays of Agassi's match last night. Raining here, raining on Ashe stadium today...perfect for nappy time.

No chicken soup? Gotta have chicken soup. With crackers. And a shot of whiskey.

No germ can survive that treatment.

At 7:36 PM, Blogger joeschmo1of3 said...

I got homework with the DHD Lexicon here, all these Debinitions. Man, a behavioralist would have a field day with her. The button pushing gerbils bit is funny, but it's funny cuz it's true!

 
At 7:37 PM, Blogger Erica said...

Man, y'all are a tough bunch to keep up with! Some of you are just downright tireless with teh funny!

I just wanted to send Otta my condolences and pets and snuggles for the pooch. I'll be prayin for the best

Dude:

I blame Ebay.

 
At 7:37 PM, Blogger Petrarchan Motif said...

brendak - chicken soup would presume that I shop for groceries in a timely manner, which is a skill that is completely antithetical to the bachelor® lifestyle.

 
At 7:37 PM, Blogger Retired Fireman said...

"what the hey is going on with google today? "

Ms. CCFCCP must have found it and is trying to figure out how to use it. F'ed up the whole thing. Imagine that

 
At 7:37 PM, Blogger Fatwa Arbuckle said...

Otta -

Thanks for passing that on.

If teh Deb came now she might just be civil. I don't think she could be mean about a sick woofie.

I dunno, Hawk, remember what she said about a toddler being "not 'human'" to her...

 
At 7:38 PM, Blogger joeschmo1of3 said...

Hi Eri!

 
At 7:39 PM, Blogger BrendaK said...

Fatwa -

Deb likes dogs. Children, not so much.

 
At 7:39 PM, Blogger Petrarchan Motif said...

Or too much, maybe.

Hard to tell.

Man, I wish they'd fix teh capitalization problem.

 
At 7:45 PM, Blogger Fred the Genius said...

Hawk,

Every time I go down there, the minute I walk in, the whole place erupts in a thunderous wave of uncontrolled laughter. I don't even say anything. It's kind of weird.

I tried waiting around once, just to see if I could, you know, get waited on and stuff, and this big guy came stumbling up to me, holding his belly, and gasping, "I...can't...breath!" His face was purple! Well, that just made everybody laugh even harder, including Sargent Eggplant.

So I left. I don't think I should go back. Somebody could get hurt.

Well since google is having "issues" tonight, let me try this again:

I'm doing well, thank you for asking. A long day with my kiddo (aka THE BOSS) and I spent the evening hiding out in my room. I'm feeling much more mellow and conversational now! How are y'all doin?

She Frisched you, yeah, yeah, yeah
She Frisched you, yeah, yeah, yeah
She Frisched you, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

She thinks she's really cute,
When she posted yesterday.
When you read it you will puke
She has nothing to say.
And so she Frisched you
'cause she thinks she's really smart.
Yes, she Frisched you
'Cause her brain's filled with a fart.

She says that she will sue
You know she's lost her mind.
She's got nothing better to do
She got her life into a bind.
And so she Frisched you
She drank lots of Teh Vodka
She Frisched you
You can always count on Deborah. Ooh!

She Frisched you, yeah, yeah, yeah
She Frisched you, yeah, yeah, yeah
And with a Freak like that
You know her lawyer isn't glad.

She's always flinging poo,
She says you aren't fair,
She brings Teh Crazee home to you,
Debonics' in the air
Because she Frisched you
She drank lots of Teh Vodka
She Frisched you
You can always count on Deborah Ooh!

She Frisched you, yeah, yeah, yeah
She Frisched you, yeah, yeah, yeah
And with a freak like that
You know her lawyer isn't glad.
With a freak like that
Her parents must be sad.
With a freak like that,
Her poetry's reeeally....BAAAAD!

Windows XP. I have tried resetting, and restarting from an earlier point. No go.

 
At 7:58 PM, Blogger BrendaK said...

Hawk - 7 steps to deb-free sobriety.

I don't remember what they are, though. I never even succeeded at step 1.

I may have an idea to fix your problem, but petrarchan had something in mind and it might work better for you. He needs to know your operating system.

If his fix doesn't work out, I'll layout mine.

No quick way! One text paste at a time.

 
At 8:01 PM, Blogger BrendaK said...

Petrarchan -

I had in mind a startup manager to uncheck everything allowed and reboot, rechecking startup items one at a time and rebooting until he found the problem.

Tedious, but without a better idea of the error message and behavior it is all I could think of.

hose:

Looks like your system folder got corrupted. Have you tried going into the XP recovery console and try to copy the system folder from one of your XP system disks to that same location? That's what I would try to do. Anything to avoid a reformat.

But actually, a reformat may not be so bad. XP will detect that it's already there, so it will try to do a "refresh" rather than a reformat.
