[Mookie]

^~^ and I got ma' green boots on, too! b b b b

Oh No Joe! No Moldy pancakes! [(-D]

Sounds like BC is our resident "devil egg"! May have to use a little persuasion on an ankle!

Maybe Mutt and I can sing a duet for Mama! Or maybe not! Hey - CW would get her veggies that way!

Funny bone must be asleep and I should be too!

######################@ HAPPY ST P'S DAY (remember, I am English and German!)

[cherokee woman]

Top o' the morning to all!!

Joe, thank you for putting the coffee on, and making the juice. Matt did a great
job of setting out the green napkins, I see. And those shamrock pancakes are
great.

For lunch and supper today, there will be corned beef and cabbage.

I do have a shamrock cake mold. Will have to start baking a cake, and put some
of the batter in the shamrock mold, and put it on top of the cake. It will be ready
by lunchtime.

Mookie, I do eat some green veggies: lima beans, peas, green beans, and
spinach. [:D]

[blhanel]

Happy St. Pat's Day, everyone. My heritage is German (Hanel) and Norwegian (my mother's maiden name is Kringle!), but I'm married to an Irish woman (Maher), so I'm obligated to celebrate. I'll take a half-dozen of those shamrock pancakes, please- heavy on the butter and syrup.

[Mookie]

Brian - can you say Ludefisk?

Kringle - relative of Kris?

I should be on the stage this morning. There is one leaving town any minute - must go catch it!

Moo

[JoeKoh]

hey mook while your at it make sure the fridge is running would you?
and from the concert last night whats a tuba cut in half?
a one-ba
ba dum ***! Mookie wait for me!!!!
stay safe
joe

[blhanel]

LOL- never tried the stuff. I don't even like Lefse. None of the relatives on my mother's side were named Kris, as far as I know, but the farm where my Mom grew up on in NW Wisconsin was later named "Reindeer Acres" by my cousin.

[tree68]

Chicken is all seasoned (700 halves - plenty for everyone) and all the other fixins are ready (well, we'll pick up the rolls on Saturday), so the annual St Patty's Chicken Barbeque at the FD is ready to go! (And no, the chicken isn't green - I hope! It wasn't when we seasoned it!)

In the meantime, I'll have one of those green frosted donuts.

[CShaveRR]

This is 'way too early for me to be up.

Chicago had its big St. Patrick's Day parade last Saturday. And, as usual, the Chicago River flowed green (if indeed it flows at all!). The cardinal of the Chicago Archdiocese had granted a dispensation so that Irish Catholics may eat corned beef during Lent.

[Mookie]

Green chicken - Moldy pancakes - green milk! Hmmmm

Brian - Lefse is so good - what's not to like? Just Norway's answer to what shall we do with the leftovers from last nite.

I only visited Wisconsin once for a week - gained 10 pounds - fresh blueberries and CREAM, gravy made with CREAM, coffee with CREAM, muffins with BUTTER, let's put BUTTER and CREAM in those taters....to die for - literally!

I see the commodeians are out in force this morning. (Commodeians--spelled that way because those jokes really stink. [:o)] [:D] [:o)] Just kidding. [;)] )

I think I will be eating lunch with Larry. I will take chicken over corned beef any day. Sorry, but no Irish in this family, and I don't like corned beef one bit. [xx(]

Years ago when I worked in a nice restaurant the chef made green whole potatoes to go with the cooked cabbage. The lounge did have green beer on tap. I can pass on all of that stuff.

I had a nice surprise this morning. Yesterday I was checking the Hostas garden thinking that anytime I might see some sticking their head out of the ground. Well, this morning I did. [^] [;)] [:D] I have 2 or 3 plants already making for the sky and I am sure that within a week, those that survived the summer and winter will be joining them. I need to get some slug and snail bait. I used so much of it last year that I ran out.

Well it is Friday for some and Tuesday for me. [B)] I will be the one flying around the trains dropping the dust on them. [;)] [:o)] [8D]

I have some laundry going and need to do some dishes before lunch time so I better getting going.

Everyone Take Care

I thought productivity was supposed to get better as one progresses through an order of semi trailers, but it seems to be headed in the opposite direction at work.

Reminds me of a story - During my time in the Air Force I was stationed in one unit whose mission involved mostly travel. When we were in station and weren't either closing up the last trip or getting ready for the next, we built radio equipment racks.

One troop was merrily turning out a rack a day. He asked the powers that be if he could leave when he finished his fifth rack for the week. They obviously saw no problem with that - until he started finishing up his five racks in four days and taking Friday off completely. "Gee, why don't you come in on Friday and build another rack?" Last I heard he was down to one rack a week...

[Mookie]

Jim - this is for you!

Green Eggs and Ham!

Did you see the cartoon - "Man, it's tough being an atheist!" "Why is that?" "Because you have no one to thank that it is Friday!"

Hey - I am an only child - I can sit in the corner and entertain myself just fine, thank you!

Even laugh at my own jokes!

[mudchicken]

Um, Mooks.....about that green fur dye job....[^]

[locomutt]

Mook; Mudchicken fell into a vat of green dye ??[:O][:O]

Jim;the jokes are really only 2/3rds of a pun; PU !!!![(-D]
And you really don't know what you are missing by not having "corned beef" and cabbage;
I'm not exactly Irish myself,(ancestors are from that area of the world 'tho.) but it really
makes a very good meal.
And please make sure that as you are doing laundry and washing dishes at the same
time,try not to get things confused.(you know;dishes in the clothes washer,clothes in the
dish washer.)
Oh yea,has the Hosta Negotiation Team been in touch with you yet ???[(-D]

Joe;there's hope for you yet,I think.[%-)]

Had I not built those very racks myself as well... And knowing the management there at the time, well...

Really like that, huh? Maybe I should go for a permanent dye job?

I think this was a Readers Digest "column filler" in some long-ago issue:

Photo lab has negative of dog submitted for a print. Dog appears green in finished print. Lab figures it's a bad exposure, so toys with the settings until the dog appears an odd tan. Customer is irate. Dog had been dyed green...

Then there was the college instructor I had (who was also a village justice), who liked to "spice" up meals, like purple mashed potatoes. Especially fun if the kids had friends over...

[Mookie]

I love it!

[CShaveRR]

Green has always been my favorite color, but not an unnatural green on (in?) foods.

I'll make an exception for (Diet) Green River, though! You'll just have to settle for a green tongue instead of the fur, though, SJ!

[jeaton]

No one around our family from Ireland, so we don't celebrate, but corned beef is on the menu for Sunday.

Weatherman missed by 4-5 inches here, so didn't need Randy's truck anyway. May have been worse to the north. R, you there?

Temp is right around the freezing mark and the sun is doing a good job of getting the driveway cleared, at least up to the shadow lines.

[Mookie]

BC - don't you be sticking your tongue out at me! I'll tell Mom!

I am off like a herd of turtles! Going home early to celebrate - (means early nap!)

Happy St P's day to one and all - and if the snow doesn't come - c u Monday. And if the snow comes, well, will probably still c u Monday.

O'Mook

[rvos1979]

Hmmm...... The Diner must be having open mic day today......

After last night's fiasco at work, I'm glad today's Friday. We started out being told that line 2 needed 16 UPS trailers, then at break, they revised the numbers downward.... A LOT!! Seeing as we had already shoved through 12 in the almost three hours previous, we left it at that and tried to figure out how to make the seven suspensions needed for line one last another five hours or so. Managed to do that, fill the line, and prep parts needed for next shift, and still left at one-thirty. Sounds like next week the top management is making them do eighteen a night with no exceptions, which means there will be many people working on UPS untill four or five in the morning, and I will not be one of them.

Mookie: You found the reason why Wisconsin is called America's Dairyland.

Be back in later.

It was pretty much a joke around here, I think the plows went through once, and the rest melted. Got maybe three inches out of it. By the time i went to work, it was just wet roads, didn't even need the four wheel drive.

We don't have any snow at all on the ground, nice out about 41F.

[cherokee woman]

There's still some corned beef and cabbage left for supper. We also have
meat loaf w/potatoes & onion, and shelly beans with taters.

The three of us went out for a couple of hours this afternoon. Went to Union
Station, and showed Sarah around there. Even saw a train while we were
there. All of us had a great time! But man, were my knees and feet hurting
after we got back home!

[CShaveRR]

Cher, I think that's something Pat and I would like to have joined you all on had we been able to stay longer. I was happy for just the drive-by, though.
