So...did we abandon the idea of cooking up the giant squid that lives in the deep end of the choco pool? Because if so, we should stop feeding it before it grows large enough to pose a menace to the skinny dippers.

BTW, Grizwald has been appointed High Priestess of Pork and Ag-Related Activities of the MYTHICAL LAND OF IOWA--so if you see her, show some respect, already.

Mento?

I have a title! You must now all call me Master! It's official and everything!

(I asked whether people should in fact call me Mistress but apparently that's got entirely different connotations. Although I rather like the sound...)

Morning, fellow Forsaken!

First off, congratulations Emma! Master Emma, I mean...sorry. And yes, Mistress does have a different meaning for different situations...although the shield may count!

Penguin, good luck, and we'll be thinking of you!

NVG, it's an honor to be on your list!

Alright...MSG, this is the first time I have thought about food before I thought about coffee...see what you're doing to me?!?

I am off to seek coffee...'ll be back in a bit.

Thank you all for your gracious adorations! You have my permission to grovel before my greatness in whatever position you find most comfortable!!

As for the filthy four letter word that Penguin has just uttered, I'm a bit stuck on that front. Apparently I need to start paying off my vast student loan immediately. The only way to postpone is by resistering as unemployed. I didn't want to do that but I can't conjure a job up out of thin air in 2 days so I guess they leave me little choice.

Off I go for a round of invasive and humiliating questions in a big scary goverment office. What a fun thing to come back from holiday to.

Welcome to the club! I work in the FCC Headquarters in Washington, DC. We had to go through background checks, credit checks, and intensive testing questions before they would even give me an interview! It's really not as scarry as it seems, so don't sweat it. You'll do just fine!

Howdy Forsaken!

MSG, you are such a tease. Gotta wait a few hours fo next meal. SOOOO Hungry!

Workin' on a label for Forsaken root beer. Realizing that not severyone consumes alcohol. Though, ot does make a great mixer.

I've had three beers and one mixed drink since Sunday before last. I'm so happy with myself. Gotta quit lettin' crap get to me.

(Passes bottle of Coke Zero)
Pretty good stuff. Tastes like real Coke without the gritty feeling in the teeth and the sugary aftertaste. Check it out.

I can't help but to keep smelling MSG's wonderful cooking. TORTURE!
But I am a masochist so torture on.

Gettin' all excited and such for Tristan and Dragon Con, and I ain't even going! Would definately "sacrafice" a day or two to be a designated photographer.
Damn my responsible sensibilities!

Can't wait for pics and news.

On the brighter side, may be going to Vegas in October to see my brother.

Vegas sounds good! Especially to see a sibling. If my brother and I want to see each other, one of us has to make about an hour and a half trip to do it. But we do, so all is good.

NV and Tristan- it's too bad there's no way to email tangible items or I'd send you both dinner:)As for Coke Zero, Mister G really likes it too. I do not like it but that's because I have been drinking diet coke for 20 years and the tase of regular coke is too sweet for me:)

I have decided that junior and senior highs need to institute nap time, recess, and milk and cookies. More nurturing less cranky:)

MSG, luckily, I possess a wonderfully active imagination, so while I am eating my sandwich or burger (or bag of chips) at work, I can close my eyes and imagine that it is one of your work-of-art dinners...although actually tasting one would be better. I'll get back to work on the transporter....
