TRIXIE'S BAR AND GRILL

[DSIGFUSS]

Hey guys!

If you haven't already read the pm I sent everyone, I am starting my summer hourse at work and will be pretty much humped for posting.

For those of you just joining the game. This is an inevitable part of the Helluland cycle that comes with my job as Mad raspberry scientist!! We'll get you gutting arctic animals again by the end of August.

Please stick around and posting will return to normal. (weekly) I may throw in a few posts when I get the itch and feel motivated and not like an overworked zombie. I'll pm you when there is an update to your thread during the summer.

Have a wicked summer people!!!!

Well there's still plenty o beer on tap!!!! We can always get our post count up while he's a distracted raspberry eating zombie eh people?? Personally I wanna work on my count and get past that mad weirdo.....I used to have him beat....

[ImpInTraining]

Ok, so how's life, Trixie? We need any kegs tapped? I could use a nice imperial stout.

[Airbornexo]

Have a great summer everyone! Four more weeks till six week vacation time...woot!

Cheers, Hal

[trixie]

Life's grand Imp...although the kids are out soon and my freedom will be clipped. Ugh

Stout...yum! Saturday we were at a brewery in Vancouver, they offer a sampler pack of little beers so you can try each one but seems I'm the only one at the table that fancied the dark beers. Nothing like a good Guiness

My kid is out ... graduated this year. But he's still haunting me.

cookies and tea! om nom nom nom.

graduated from where to where?

[trixie]

cookies and tea! om nom nom nom.

LOL when I say that in my brain it sounds like cookie monster! hehe! That takes me back!

Congrats Imp! Grad from high school, right? What are his plans post grad....going onto university? Hopefully he follows in ol' pop's footsteps and gets a perfectly irreplaceable job like yours? Although I do believe after you moved I never got the new skinny on what you're doing for work. Last I heard you were monitoring space shuttles. Right? Riiiiight.....???

[ImpInTraining]

Heh, no... that was my old job. My current job is making Frankenstein Monsters.

My kid is going to be heading to the local community college for 2 years for a drafting degree, then decide where to go after he figures out what part of drafting as a whole he likes the best.

Thanks for the congrats, but I think much of that goes to his mother who was constantly harping on him to do his homework.

[trixie]

Frankenstein monsters??? Oh doooo go on!

If your wife has any tricks up her sleeve regarding the homework situation...I'm all ears. I'm hearing the 'this is the worst day ever' bit when I prescribe the unwelcome math sheet or reading assignment. Arg! If only we could be all futuristic and have one of those fancy robot butlers and maids like they had in the Jetsons. hehe!

Our son was rewarded monetarily for good grades (B or better) and penalized (D or worse) on his report card. That seemed to work pretty good. His school has Edline, which all of the teachers must keep up to date (relatively speaking) indicating how he has done recently on tests, quizzes, classroom attendance and participation, and homework. Anytime the teachers added something, we'd get an email indicating the change in that class. We'd go take a look-see, then if we noticed there were missing homework projects, Kelly would get the harping task. He wasn't always prompt with his homework, but he would get them all done (eventually)

My kid is out ... graduated this year. But he's still haunting me.

What a strange coincidence. I graduated this year too.

Opps, I gave it away. =S

I'll be gone for a while. Moving and getting a job. Have fun, guys and Trixie.

[trixie]

Hey all, who's checking the boards, and who's on board to start things up again? DSIGFUSS has a fancy shmansy new computer, I think we should all boot him in the @ss to start posting instead of playing Starcraft. BAHAHAH

[ImpInTraining]

Yeah... let's get him! Aaarrrgghgh

*raising pitchforks and torches*

[DSIGFUSS]

Ok Fanboys! Look for a post in all threads on Monday Aug 30, 2010. I'll be sending a pm to everybody!!!

[trixie]

I think he lies! LIIIIIIEEEESSSS!!!!! I don't see my new post yet. *crosses arms and sulks*

Imp you may be onto something with that pitchfork....make sure its red hot! hahahhaha

[zielonobrody]

Let's brand the bugger with red hot iron!

[DSIGFUSS]

ok!! Ok!! You guys are right! I'm a big fat liar!!! But aren't all GMs in some way. So now I have to make up for my lie. Here is what I propose. If everyone doesn't get a post before 8am Eastern Standard Time September 1st. Everyone gets one free stat point to add to any attribute. But mark my words! blah blah! Eat a potatoe!

[trixie]

I happen to like potatoes. But you might find one shoved up the tailpipe of your car if you offer free stat points and don't follow through. Gggrrrrrr I hate bein teased! How about a free stat point considering we all so patiently waited during your summer 'hell'.....like working 14 hours a day counts.....pffft

[DSIGFUSS]

OK all posts are done! I'll be sending out some summaries to get everyone back on track.
