Today's FGVOTD is a follow-up to the WTF Blanket (Snuggie Parody) that I posted here a while back.
Apparently, the Wearable Towel is all the rage. And from this infomercial, it's easy to see why.
Cast your vote for the toga or the tunic style.

Here is the original hilarious WTF Blanket clip once again.

Biff, do you sit in wait at your computer, fingers interlaced, trembling...waiting...waiting...waiting...open thread, GO! (you're always first!)
Posted by: Nokilissa at May 28, 2009 9:25 AM
I think he must have special posting privilege - you know in advance what the URL for the OT is but won't see anything until it's "loaded"!
Posted by: the chicken at May 28, 2009 9:29 AM
Biff got his admin waiting to paste the post into the OT the moment it pops up.
Posted by: more4less at May 28, 2009 9:32 AM
Noki, of course not! Why, that would make me a Pathetic Loser Extraordinaire! And I wouldn't ever want to take that title away from DIBS.
I have an extremely close relationship with Mr. B and he has very kindly installed a satellite alarm system that sends signals from the Brownstoner Head Office in the DUMBO Corporate Park to my cell block at The Death Star. Just before he is about to put up the Open Thread (or Gabby in his absence), he activates the alarm, which lets out one of those really loud WoooOOOOOoooooOOooooooOOOoo sounds, alerting me to get ready to post my FGVOTD. It is a tightly orchestrated and technologically advanced routine we have in place.

was just perusing yesterday's bike thread and had an OT question for DH! who left clover club? Alex? Brad? Did they go to Dutch Kills?

"that would make me a Pathetic Loser Extraordinaire"
yup. pretty much summed it up. game over- biff wins today.
Posted by: randolph at May 28, 2009 9:40 AM
Randi, that was way too easy. You need to put a bit more effort into this. The title just ain't what it used to be...
Posted by: Biff Champion at May 28, 2009 9:42 AM
I'll have you all know that in yesterday's HOTD the What raised my title to "Alpha Retard."
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at May 28, 2009 9:45 AM
anyone notice Jessibaby hasn't been around lately?
hmmm
How is everyone this morning?
For all the Housewives fans - did you see this!!?!?!?!

G10, she emailed me the other day and all seems very well with her and sixyears. I think she's just been uber busy at work.
Posted by: Biff Champion at May 28, 2009 9:47 AM
Gem, whatcha trying to imply? Or do you just miss me, because that's sweet.
Posted by: jessibaby at May 28, 2009 9:48 AM
oh reallllllllly Biff?!?!?!
very interesting ;)

Guiseppe is at Dutch Kills now (which is fantastic by the way)
Posted by: dirty_hipster at May 28, 2009 9:53 AM
JB, since you're here, let me continue down my list. You're coming to the June gathering (even if Biff shifts it to the 17th)?
Posted by: more4less at May 28, 2009 9:53 AM
G10, I just clicked on that link. I didn't know what was the story with Danielle. Now we know. The series could get really interesting. And she implied she had something on Dina. I wonder what that was.
Here's another link that suggests Danielle slept with 1,000 men.
http://tinyurl.com/qwohwh
G10, also, are you and hubby coming to the party on June 17 at Rope? (Yes, M4L, it will be Wednesday, June 17 for sure).
Posted by: Biff Champion at May 28, 2009 9:56 AM
has anyone else noticed how randi has been ingratiating himself onto this site and conversations lately? it's actually kind of cute lol
*rob*
Posted by: PitbullNYC at May 28, 2009 9:56 AM
M4L, I will be there. Are you bringing your wife? Pillow fight?
Posted by: jessibaby at May 28, 2009 9:56 AM
thanks DH! will miss him (he was the main guy that occassionally wears the crazy glasses?)

Get that framed and on the wall!
Posted by: the chicken at May 28, 2009 10:00 AM
JB, don't know if wife is coming or not. She knows about it but hasn't given me an answer. Maybe if Mrs Champion shows up, I can convince wife to leave son with sitter and show up too
Posted by: more4less at May 28, 2009 10:08 AM
"thanks DH! will miss him (he was the main guy that occassionally wears the crazy glasses?)"
He's the big guy - dark complexion, goatee with a bit of an accent.
He was one of the guys originally brought over to Clover Club when it first opened from Flatiron Lounge (same owner).

DIBS, grand title given per a confirmed tangible entity is required before it bragging-worthy

M4L, what language(s) does your wife speak?
Posted by: Biff Champion at May 28, 2009 10:10 AM
I thought M4L married a gweipo????
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at May 28, 2009 10:12 AM
biff, proficiently - just english
Posted by: more4less at May 28, 2009 10:13 AM
OMFG!
last week or maybe two weeks ago i put up a craigslist ad (non sexual) to see if anyone wanted to play ms. pac man and drink 40s. (seriously, i was THAT bored). I got stupid responses from people looking for sex and I didnt want that. anyway i check my SPAM folder just now cuz i posted a Wii for sale ad and wanted to see if any responses went to that and i see two responses from my ad about ms pac man and 40 drinking and get these two! LOL (dave you should respond to the first one! HAHAHAHA))
1.)
Hey Im kinda new to the area and was trying to find someone fun. I love a guy who knows how to dress and smelling his cologne. Spent way too much time being used or ignored...when i walk into a room i want you to notice me and nothing else. Looking for someone who is well hung for nsa or mff. Not looking for commitment. I'm 5'1 Asian 124 lbs, slim, and have long dark hair. If you're interested we can exchange pics & see if theres a spark. Im a tiny bit worried with all that craigslist killer stuff on the news so Id feel a little better if you verified yourself to message me here: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX dont worry its free, just a way for girls to keep safe.
2.)
Saw your post..Im fun I promise but I am kinda shy. Want a man that can fulfill me sexually for a long romantic encounter.Long red-brown hair, Big green eyes, Juicy lips, Small waist, and big breasts.I don't smoke have no stds and you must promise to be D/D clean too!!!!! if feeling is mutual. I promised my sister any guys I met would be verified and safe so she wont freak out. It's no big deal...just a way for us girls to keep safe. Talk soon babes.
WTF did i advertise in the wrong area?! LOL but those are written exactly the same and where i pulled out the addresses they wanted to respond to they were the same.
*rob*

No, that was me (although it's not been conclusively proven that M4L and I are not the same person...)

Did you all see the major piece on HWNJ in today's Times?
Posted by: Arkady at May 28, 2009 10:14 AM
rob, why would DIBS respond to the first one?
Posted by: the chicken at May 28, 2009 10:16 AM
Or does gweipo refer to a white female and gweilo refer to a white male? Or is one Mandarin and one is Cantonese?
I'm soooo confused.

Posted by: East New York at May 28, 2009 10:23 AM
Biff "gweipo" is the female version of gweilo. And hok gwei is the black version of gweilo.
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at May 28, 2009 10:24 AM
ENY...perhaps a bar of soap would work just as well and cost far less. I can talk at length on this subject.
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at May 28, 2009 10:28 AM
Yeah, but how does once pronounce "NodorO"???
Posted by: East New York at May 28, 2009 10:31 AM
gwei = ghost
lo = old dude
po = grandma
hak = black
Just to throw another one into the mix:
see fat = poo hole
So DIBS would be see fat gwei...
Posted by: the chicken at May 28, 2009 10:32 AM
Maybe Nod or zero
Posted by: Arkady at May 28, 2009 10:33 AM
Just ordered one wearable towel and a tube NodorO. Polishing my plastic pumps and I'm ready for the weekend!

M4L: What the heck is this list all about? And why are only women on it?
Posted by: bayridgegirl at May 28, 2009 10:40 AM
It's been a chock full of RHNJ day hasn't it? I was typing up posts all morning about it.
Fabulous.
You know,Caroline has some great quotes in the NYT article. I'm thinking she could be my favorite RH of all time.
Posted by: TownhouseLady at May 28, 2009 10:43 AM
I think its the list of women of which if he is caught looking at any, he will get wallopped upside the head by his wife, the "sterotyped brash and vocal ABC" otherwise known as the dragon lady. LOL :)

BRG, been getting impression ladies are under represented in these gatherings plus ladies are the segment biff is not active in inquiring if they're coming. So the helpful me stepped in
Posted by: more4less at May 28, 2009 10:50 AM
Biff, there's a big difference between cantonese and the version spoken in Hong Kong

Damn....you know me too well....
Posted by: the chicken at May 28, 2009 10:53 AM
DIBS used to live in HK - although I suspect his cantonese was mainly "San Lik m'goi!"
Posted by: the chicken at May 28, 2009 10:55 AM
sorry - I read DIBS for Biff there.
HK does speak cantonese? Did you mean mandarin?
Posted by: the chicken at May 28, 2009 10:56 AM
m4l & Biff...if they sat around writing everything in character, they could all communicate. Hell, they could even communicate with the Japanese but it would be perplexing to the latter.
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at May 28, 2009 10:57 AM
Gem, why would Danielle do this? I'm mortified and horrified for her daughters. This cannot be good. She must have known this would come out. The producers must have known, they must do checks on these folks? Is it all just for ratings? I cannot fathom it.
Posted by: cobblehiller at May 28, 2009 11:00 AM
"BRG, been getting impression ladies are under represented in these gatherings"
M4L, I was thinking it was about even, but looking at the list from the last big gathering, you're right: it was approximately 25 men and 10 women. Normally, that would be 2.5 men for every 1 women, but given the diverse sexual orientations amongst the PLUSAs, I'm not quite sure exactly how to assess the ratios.
Posted by: Biff Champion at May 28, 2009 11:03 AM
HK & southern China speak mainly Cantonese (many dialects). Northern China, Taiwan and most Singaporeans speak mandarin.
Mandarin is fr more universal than Cantonese.
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at May 28, 2009 11:05 AM
Chicken, it's the crazy jive terms, slang, etc used in HK that confuses the native mainlanders
Posted by: more4less at May 28, 2009 11:05 AM
"The producers must have known"
I'm sure their eyes lit up when they found out. Awesome for the ratings; just like Jon and Kate's marital woes. Did you see the numbers on their season premiere? Through the roof!
Posted by: Biff Champion at May 28, 2009 11:05 AM
""BRG, been getting impression ladies are under represented in these gatherings"
well ladies, bring a friend!
Posted by: dirty_hipster at May 28, 2009 11:06 AM

Same with Londoners v Scousers (Liverpool) and Geordies (Newcastle). I don't think there is anywhere as fickle with its slang as HK.
I lived in HK for a while so my accent is good enough to pass for a local. On one trip back someone remarked that I obviously wasn't from there. I asked whether my accent had slipped since I'd been gone. They said no, just the slang I was using was 2 years out of date!

Posted by: dirty_hipster at May 28, 2009 11:18 AM
Re RHNJ-
Never mind the producers. SHE (Danielle) knew she did it. SHE should have been thinking about her kids. It's not the producers responsibility.
I really loathe these people who drag their poor kids out into the public spotlight (and not in a positive way).
I think she's just delusion and trying to hold onto a lifestyle she doesn't have the finances or social graces to carry off. She joined the show for two reasons money and attention.
Posted by: TownhouseLady at May 28, 2009 11:20 AM
dh, there was an episode of House about someone doing that. Practice the mouth breather expression with a fixed glaze and most people will think you're out of it anyway :)

I might just do that...a guy friend.

Posted by: more4less at May 28, 2009 11:26 AM
DIBS, who's turn is it for this gathering? the Mexican BF?
Posted by: more4less at May 28, 2009 11:26 AM
I'll be flying solo, m4l. The bfs are good dinner guests (and even better...well, you know) but not so much for a night of drinking. The partner in Philly is good for a whole night of drinkin, which is one of the reasons that he's the partner not just a bf.
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at May 28, 2009 11:29 AM
Will anyone be bringing their cats???
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at May 28, 2009 11:30 AM
OMG...I love THL's 11:23 post. It seems like she's responding to DIBS' 11:22. LOL

"The partner in Philly is good for a whole night of drinkin, which is one of the reasons that he's the partner not just a bf."
Ability to "hang" is very important characteristic of a significant other.
Posted by: dirty_hipster at May 28, 2009 11:32 AM
Yes, dh, as opposed to the last Chinese bf/partner many years ago who told me the next day how many beers I drank one night and did so in a tone of reprimand.
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at May 28, 2009 11:34 AM
Mrs. C packed a little bag full of mixed nuts for me to snack on at work today. They're delicious.

Biff....there's a new commercial on TV that uses the song "Wonderful Life" and it reminds me of the go-go bars. The "Barbiery" Bar in bangkok always played it when the guys cam out in the dark onstage with lit candles for the Hot Wax Show!!!!
Here's the song....

Right now I'm eating choco. covered almonds from there......mmmmmmm
Posted by: bayridgegirl at May 28, 2009 12:08 PM
The song and the video are actually great for a FGVOTD. Its just that it will always remind me of hot Thai guys dripping hot wax all over themselves...which is more than FG to me!!!!!

BRG...that only happens at "Twilight" Bar. It pays to get a front row seat for that show!!!!

I agree THL, that was my main point, SHE knew. She's also trying to put the pressure on the ex-husband to get the divorce pay-off. She's very calculating. But I think this is going to backfire. And the poor daughters, years of therapy for them. The producers are not blameless though. This is very damaging for the kids. The producers are making money on it. Shame on her and them.
Have I said this before? I'd love to see a psychotherapist giving their commentary, as it happens, on the show.

Turtlejam, are you lurking today? I saw people (looked like a father and son) in 237 14th Street (everyone's "favorite" overexposed -- i.e., "not this house again"-- open house pick of 2008). Do you know the story? Someone finally buy this and is actually going to move in?

You might want to back off on tracking the female attendees M4L, it's starting to sound a bit off. And you're a married man, that just makes it weirder.

CH, as my wife said "I have a look she is confident I cant cheat on her" so why would you worry. Besides, I'm only doing this to increase ladies representation plus Biff not inquiring enough (guess he doesn't want Mrs Champion to worry cause he does have the "dreamy look")

M4L, I'll rent you the bottom floor.
Posted by: bayridgegirl at May 28, 2009 2:04 PM
BRG, 1st of all, I can buy it all-cash. 2ndly, my crown heights rental is 2 blocks away and it's nicer & bigger than the bottom flr, so that's not even a consideration. if you want to buy me off, you need to show up in the pumps and convince me face 2 face during the june gathering. So, are you coming?
Posted by: more4less at May 28, 2009 2:12 PM
Don't try to drag me into your battle M4L! I'm busy and not in the mood to bicker!

DH, do not egg him on!
M4L: Merriam Webster says: 1: to engage in a petulant or petty quarrel
BRG was almost taller than ME in those pumps! That was half of what shocked me! We were eye level!

I got straight A's in high school and college but my SAT scores were curiously low. and don't even get me started about my terrible GRE scores! i did have an excuse for the poor GRE scores tho. the damn exam was given THE SATURDAY MORNING AFTER HALLOWEEN! who the hell is ready to take the GRE's at like 7 am the morning after halloween. (lol tho that i went into the classroom to take it with my halloween makeup still on ahahahh). after i finished i was like ugh forget about grad school, it's probably not even worth it. im actually very glad i didnt go.
*rob*
Posted by: PitbullNYC at May 28, 2009 3:48 PM
and don't even go there and say the only reason i got straight A's in school was cuz i went to a ghetto high school and a state college. (tho sometimes i think that could be the reason too) but i'd rather not think that the case.

Grades are arbitrary. a 4.0 avg at random city high school quite often doesn't hold a candle to a 3.0 at random college prep highschool.
And you can say all you want about how public school kid and prep school kid receive the same education, and the prep school kid is afforded more opportunities because of money - but i went to college with so called "honors students" from city schools with 4.5 gpas and what not, and they could barely write an term paper, let alone construct a sentence properly.
Is it even disputable that as a whole, NYC public schools are atrocious?
**waiting for comments about my spelling/grammar/sentence structure**
Posted by: dirty_hipster at May 28, 2009 3:59 PM
Nothing wrong with a state college Rob.
Are you aware of the percentage of americans that have completed college, any college?
Well, here, this may open your eyes: The 2004 census states that only 28% of those over 25 have completed a bachelor's degree.
Now go pat yourself on the back for your accomplishment and have a great day!
Posted by: cobblehiller at May 28, 2009 4:00 PM
the one thing about IVY league schools is that they all require a ridiculous amount of extra curricular activities right? im sorry, but some people just dont like extra curricular activities or had no time for them. i never understand why so much emphasis would be put on what you did outside the classroom. i mean i "get" it, but i dont understand why it would be so weighted heavily? i joined a few after clubs in high school solely for the fact that it was frowned upon if you didnt. i much prefered to have an after school job and make money. and/or play video games before i had an after school job.
do you know i was in the environmental club? talk about irony!
what clubs / extra curricular activities were some of you in?
i was in spanish club, environmental club, student council, and peer group therapy. they all sucked.
*rob*
Posted by: PitbullNYC at May 28, 2009 4:03 PM
oh i know there's definitely nothing wrong with a state college. i went because it was still a good school, and my financial aid package for it was great, coupled with some scholarship money, and then student loans. since i had to pay for it all myself, it was the only option.
*rob*

Posted by: bayridgegirl at May 28, 2009 4:08 PM
Wow, I'm floored by that 28% stat. The US is among the very very few countries that if someone wanted to go to college, it's very attainable. if someone asked me that question, I would've guessed 55% or so.
Nothing guarantees success but Ivy degree helps a ton. From private school standpoint, Ivy schools are a relative bargain these days. all or most at or under 50k per yr - a figure matched or surpassed by a ton of so so to decent name private schools. For example, Lehigh is a decent school but it cost close to 45k per yr.
Posted by: more4less at May 28, 2009 4:15 PM
BRG...generally the hot Spanish guys are NOT in Spanish Club. Therefore I'd have no reason to join either.
The first Earth Day occcurred when I was in high school so there was no such thing as Environmental Club.
WTF is peer group therapy??????
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at May 28, 2009 4:16 PM
Rob, same deal here. I chose college that I could afford. was working 37 hr per wk for a few semesters to fund the tuition.
Posted by: more4less at May 28, 2009 4:18 PM
I got a couple small scholarships to college but basically worked my way through myself. I was a Biology major and wanted to go to med school but between the work and the partying I never got in.
I took a year off and got into Kellogg business school at Northwestern. I also got accepted to Columbia. The tuition at Kellogg was something like $5,000 a year back then. It was the best move I ever made.

I'm with Biff. That irks me. I'll never forget the first time I went grocery shopping with Ms. ENY and one of her friends in South Florida. We bought some stuff, put into the cart, and they straight up OPENED a bag of Doritos that we were GOING to buy and started munching back!
I was like, "WTF? Can't you guys wait???" They were like, "It's OK, we're going to buy this!" We subsequently had a 45-minute conversation/argument about how crude I thought that was. I almost didn't marry her!

I'm crude then. I have been know to crack open the deli bag and chomp on a piece of cheese while I'm shopping.
I figure the deli man's already weighed and put the price sticker on it so I'm paying for it.
I'm so low brow.
Posted by: TownhouseLady at May 28, 2009 5:06 PM
DIBS, at least you're paying for all of the nuts you enjoy. That's not as bad as popping some nuts in your mouth from the bulk section that you won't pay to take home with you.
Wait, that didn't come out right
(that's what she said)

m4l is keeping notes???
I get this picture of all the scribblings in the Composition Books like in the movie "Seven."

The Ground Round was a chain restaurant. Back in the day they'd let you throw the peanut shells on the floor but then stopped because of insurance purposes. Remember that one?

"how come my notes say it was CH?"
List????? Notes????
WTF!!!!

"LOL ENY you were a gift wrapper at macy's? sorry but that has GOT to be the gayest job EVER"
You're right Rob, it was pretty gay. But I was hard up and that was the only job I could get quickly. It was pathetic. We were trapped in the sub-basement (don't ask) wrapping gift after gift like a bunch of slaves. There were several good-looking chicks working there, too, but being a part-time gift wrapper, I didn't have the collateral to ask any of them out. But hey, I can wrap the HELL out of a gift, even today!

CH did not work in a diner. And your notes are getting creepier.

LOL Biff!
Posted by: TownhouseLady at May 28, 2009 5:10 PM
DH, that was awesome!
THL, that's ok in my books. My peeve has more to do about people eating the food and not paying for it.
BRG, thanks for being a good sport about my comment. I feel bad about it, even though it was a joke. You looked very slim and trim at the last gathering, especially in those glass pumps. And on that note, I'll see all you PLUSAs tomorrow. Have a fabulous night.

Cobble...did you work as a waitress too?
I'd check my notes but...I don't keep any!

BIFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CH requesting identity verification on M4L. Meet you at the death star? @ 7pm?
Posted by: more4less at May 28, 2009 5:14 PM
notes say CH ran a diner
Posted by: more4less at May 28, 2009 5:15 PM
THL, I'll have to check my asshat database, I'm not sure what I did for jobs. Oh wait, M4L, must know, let's ask him.

It's cool Biff. I knew you were joking even though most times it's hard to tell with your posts...but keep trying :p
Thanks for the compliment...and you looked 'dreamy'?!?!? Huh?
Posted by: bayridgegirl at May 28, 2009 5:15 PM
Biff, m4l doesn't know what you look like so I'll slip you $20 if I can do the gender verification. I'll keep copious notes.
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at May 28, 2009 5:16 PM
"rob...I bet a lot of old queens hit on him when he was a bus boy too!!!!!!"
Not when I was busboy, but I did work as an apprentice to an upholsterer in high school. The owner was gay, his "seamstress" was a gay dude and he had a lot of gay clients. I did get hit on. But, I just deflected it all. Everyone kept his hands to himself, so all was cool. If you're a New Yorker, and you are hostile to gay people, you're going to have a lot of conflict. What do I care if someone's gay? Not important in the big scheme of things.
Posted by: East New York at May 28, 2009 5:16 PM

DIBS, how many dudes in BH is "dreamy" looking and understand what I'm saying when I throw a couple of chinese lines at him?
Posted by: more4less at May 28, 2009 5:18 PM
Well, some of us don't take "no" for an answer or can't seem to understand that straight guys can't be turned. They are very annoying and give the rest of us a bad name.

"Well, some of us don't take "no" for an answer"
That's a disease common to many men, gay AND straight. Like you said, it gives the rest of us a bad name.

Chicken, one would have to be blind to not be able to tell a "dreamy" (BRG, how much do I owe you in royalties for using this term today? since you trademarked it) dude in 30's vs. playa in his 50's
Posted by: more4less at May 28, 2009 5:31 PM

How do you know I trademarked this?
Okay M4L, who are you???

Forget a gender verification check!
I'm calling for an identity verification check for more4less.

M4L,
what are the double entries for a sale on credit and then the subsequent settlement of that credit?
Why is a "Fan Tung" a useless person?
Answer both of those and I will be able to confirm you are a Chinese accountant!
Posted by: the chicken at May 28, 2009 5:46 PM
BRG, don't let CH's paranoia get you all worked up. if you're that suspicious, you need to do the dirty work yourself. here are the possible spots I can meet up with you:
7pm - jersey city paulus hook area
9pm - BH; getting off BK bridge
the cute lady in the car would be the ABC wife

chicken, you're are not on BRG's qualified verification person list. Only BIFF or herself qualifies
Posted by: more4less at May 28, 2009 5:51 PM
BRG, hurry up and pick the location for the verification. am about to sign out and start drive home
Posted by: more4less at May 28, 2009 5:54 PM
chicken, correct saying is Fon (not Fan) Tung
Posted by: more4less at May 28, 2009 5:55 PM
Sorry M4L, I don't meet men in shady areas like Jersey City or Brooklyn Heights.
If you're going to be there June 17, then all will be revealed.
Posted by: bayridgegirl at May 28, 2009 5:56 PM
BRG, I'm insulted you're calling Bxgrl a liar. Doesn't Bxgrl's vouching count for peanuts (before you eat 'em)?
so this means you coming to the june gathering?
Posted by: more4less at May 28, 2009 6:00 PM
"chicken, correct saying is Fon (not Fan) Tung
Posted by: more4less at May 28, 2009 5:55 PM"
Not where I come from - fan = rice
Posted by: the chicken at May 28, 2009 6:01 PM
chicken, what dialect is that? doesn't sound like cantonese; closer to mandarin
Posted by: more4less at May 28, 2009 6:02 PM
???? No way would you pronounce rice as "fon" instead of "fan" (or maybe "faan" in cantonese.
Posted by: the chicken at May 28, 2009 6:05 PM
chicken, maybe the loss in translation is I'm pronouncing it with US accent vs. you with british accent.
Biff, could you post tomorrow that you did meet me and fuel the speculation that I'm some pervert, creep,...? be subtle about it so CH will believe it. It's been slow on the blog recently so rekindling some "who is M4L?" speculation could carry us for a day or two
BRG, don't bust the charade.

Hello...anyone here? I have news!
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at May 28, 2009 6:16 PM
chicken,
acct receivable & rev then cash & acct receivable
don't quite agree or understand why "rice bucket" would be a bad term since the bucket that holds the rice would be deem valuable, no?
BRG, don't bust the charade.
Biff, counting on you to set it up.
outta here.

snappy, you're HIRED. if so congrats and drinks on you next gathering.
OK, outta here (4 real).

"acct receivable & rev then cash & acct receivable"
Correct.
"don't quite agree or understand why "rice bucket" would be a bad term since the bucket that holds the rice would be deem valuable, no?"
hmmmmm....your parents never called you this when they scolded you? It means that you don't do anything productive, all you do is gobble up rice (which is valuable) and sit there.
So I can confirm that M4L is definitely an accountant but I'm not so sure on the egg roll front...

Pheeeeew, I thought I was going to have to buy you drinks next time. You're on your own now kid ;-) And you're buying me tap water at the next drink up!
Okay Cobble, you're next. We want good news from you soon.

Again, Congrat's!!
Posted by: bayridgegirl at May 28, 2009 6:46 PM
I'm confused, M4L- did I vouch for peanuts (I hate them!)? However I can vouch for the fact you are truly male - unless my powers of observation have well and truly failed. Hmm...always a possibility :-)
truly BRG- M4L is what he says he is. Actually quite nice in person. His online persona is obviously his evil twin.
Snappy- congratulations! All the best to you. We'll have to hoist a few to you on next the Greenwood outing after-lunch!
