He's not silly enough to fly in snowstorm...or whatever they're getting in Florida.

Are you buried yet, BadNick?

yeah, he's buried...

tully?

C'est moi. I sense a warming trend afoot.

Tricky Nicky?

negatory.......


phil,you still around?

yup, on my way to the credit union...

ocm?

Nope. But perhaps he will be next.

sorry deary.....


OCM will show now though.

I may be OCD but not OCM.

Jewels?

Getting ready for work but never far.

OCM on strike today?

I've been batting one after the other.

uncle phil's talking to the coach...

couch or coach?

We had less than a foot of snow a couple days ago, no big deal. Or are you referring to some vampire thing?

By the way, when my father was forced to leave his beloved homeland in Hungary (also home of Bela Lugosi) he took with him some homeland soil. We sprinkled some on his casket as it was lowered into the ground and I still have a bunch left.

Talk about biting necks, where's jewels?

Sleeping beautifully?

Phil?

ta - DA!!!

jewels?

Ooops, I'm not Jewels.
How about BadNick?

's only meeeeee. Thursday/Friday, here I come!

Might it be Fly?

What did the coach say, uncle phil?

coach sez, "let 'em ALL in!!!"

jove?

by jove, that's the same thing I would say if I was coach.

Go Team. Right, unc?

you dumbass...I'm next again!!!

ok, this time unc might show up in the a.m.

foiled again, bn.

gg?

Nope, tis I.

Uncle Phil?

i'm here, i'm here...

fly?

is it really me?

ocm?

OK, I waited long enough and still no Ocm?

Tully, what are you doing for New Year's Eve?

I'm having about 25 folks over for a little party. I think we're covered booze wise. One gallon of 18yr old scotch, one gallon of Jack Single Barrel, A half gallon each of dark and light rum, vodka and gin. Plus 6 cases of assorted beers. And of course "Sparkling" wine for midnight.

My friend, who owns a restaurant, is bringing two turkeys and several side dishes.

Want to join us? Nick?

JFX! I friended some scotch months ago, & I can only give respectful songs to Fly.

That's why I think he might give me a lick.

takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'

Tul...can't make this one. Hopefully next time. Talk about "time" my wife can have her own crazy modern taste in decorations so I'll predict Ocm? will soon appear.

Wrong again.

Unc?

Wrong too.

I'll say Jewels will follow me.

Where are we going? Cheap champagne will only take me so far.

ocm?

I'll go anywhere but Disney World, thank-you.

I've been partying with people I barely understand sober and I've been indulging in some 18yr old scotch. I've either agreed to help paint someone's house or they like the color of my house. Rather bizarre. Also odd that I'm drinking scotch as I didn't know I liked it until an hour ago... I'll bet come tomorrow I will no longer like it again. But I also didn't know I liked the Bee-Gees- who knew? I'm seriously hoping to be back to the Stones and Radiohead come morning.

Want a scotch and coke Phil?

only if it's the stuff off the top shelf, tully...

fly? - nah, jewels?

I have a couple.

I'd be knowing that ain't funny...

Anonymous Member?

I'm not a mouse ...usually.

back at you, Ocm?

You know where to find me, even if I don't.

uncle phil could set me straight.

You never know, I just might do it.

I drew a blank. Nick?

I draw an inside straight, sadly I was playing black jack.

Now Nick?

flush! ...I just came out of the toilet.

how 'bout that unc?

keep your computer out of there, nick...

jove?

Does about to shower count?

http://www.kickinthehead.org/kickint...rinal-call.gif

Or this, Nick.

My wireless network has excellent signal strenth in all 3 of my bathrooms. But I'm not going to tell you where I'm sitting right now.

Ocm?, how's your first day of the year so far?

I napped most of the afternoon, then went to St. Paul to pick up my younger boys.

If you don't want people to know where you're sitting, you should turn off the webcam.

Funny you should point that out. I'm sure some hack turns mine on when I least expect it. Probably a friendly hack, though.

When I heard about that, I disbelieved it could happen...

Can you see me now, ZookSport2?

zook must be partying...

tully?

silly. just me.

nick wearing his wireless necklace?

just had my mug of java so I'm a bit wired

Ocm? is the focus clear? Should I move to the left?

you're close to center...

tully?

maybe. i forgot who i am.

who's tully?

he's that dude in mexico...

fly?

On occasion, yes.

Unc, did we scare them away?

I'm still shaking in my boots. Actually, I could use nice boots. Of Spanish leather like Bob Dylan mentioned. Or even better,

Oh, but if I had the stars from the darkest night
And the diamonds from the deepest ocean
I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss
For that's all I'm wishin' to be ownin'.

Not that I don't like you guys, unc, Tully, Ocm?, et al, but since I mentioned kiss I'm more inspired to predict jewels will pop herself in her again:

Well I like you too, but no kiss from me.

Jewels?

well then just to k.i.s.s. I'm predicting Ocm?

Nope still me,

OCM next?

I'd kiss y'all ... ;)

OCM too.

I'd take that kiss too.

How about Nick?

Nick knows he'd get one.

Want one, Unc?

this is a veritable smooch party!

unc, jewels can kiss you but I'm only offering you a hug

Tightwad!

I'd kiss him, but he already told me he wouldn't appreciate it...didn't you, u.p.?

for the record, i don't kiss guys...

ok, where's jewels?

I kiss family and friends of all sexes. I also love most trees.

Ocm?, do you have any favorite plants?

None more so than Fly's.

Or me.

Right Nick?

Tul, you're a big wet one!

ahhh, the Fly plant reminds me to visit beautiful British Columbia. Could Fly possibly be next in here?

possibly, but probability is another matter...

tully?

Umm, yeah I'm here. New Years Eve is over... right?

Nick?

nope its me. I'm a little less hairy.

Phil?

yup...

waiting on jewels...

little late to the plant party i see.......


monkie!!!!!!

Never too late!

Unless it's OCM?

I'm late, I'm late, for a very important date.

But I think Ocm? should be showing up here pretty soon.

and I think Uncle Phil might stop by next.

I wouldn't try to stand in his way...

but I'd like to ask amonkie a question.

And when you find out the answer, please let me know, too.

...over and out, Ocm?

where's tully...

Nothing like the smell of napalm in the morning.

Now Tully?

I wonder if environmentally friendly napalm uses leaded or unleaded gasoline?

Next on the agenda might be Ocm?

I've made no secret of my agenda.

Have I, BadNick?

I heard a call to duty and I'll answer your question with a resounding "no".

unc, what do you have to say?

lovin' that phrase "environmentally friendly napalm..."

lindy?

languishing lindy's chances are gone

what time is it? who's around? maybe one more before it gets too late, unc?

He'll be around in the morning. I'm running later these days.

I just noticed. But good night I'm hitting the sack. Don't let the bed bugs bite, I hear they're making a come-back.

unc, top o' the mornin' to ya!

top o' yer mornin' to me...

jewels?

Last one of my late mornings, maybe. Yikes!

Um, how about Nick?

at least you didn't say I was round

Ocm? is laying low lately but I'm expecting a showing here soon:

wrong again, pastrami breath

How about an afternoon visit by Ocm?

Is it okay if I have pastrami on my breath?

jewels?

No, me. But I'll be taking my "jewels" out for a drink shortly. But I figured I'd pop in a say hello first.

Nick, what are you up to this fine evening?

fine? It's 25 degrees Fahrenheit cold outside now! That's like 3.9 Celcius, or 484.7 Rankine or 269.3 Kelvin....I like the Rankine and Kelvin since they make me feel warmer. It's going to start snowing again any minute and we'll see a few more inches into tomorrow. I rest my case.

unc, do the roosters wake you up so early or do you just have insomnia?

Nope, 'twas the alarm. New schedule.

Unc now. Have a great day!

here's hopin'...

tully?

snow stopped, not too bad outside now, but getting much colder later when Tully finally shows up:

It's getting cold and you think I'll show up? It's 78 and sunny out. Pass.

Jewels?

OK, well if you won't shovel my sidewalk for $25 maybe somebody else will.

jewels, do you have a snow blower?

Nope.. I go the smart way and let Building Management take care of that. Never had to shovel a drive.

OCM?

Yes.

Hey, Tully...no siempre.

I just paid my younger son #2 and two of his friends $30 to shovel my sidewalk and driveway and front entrance way while I took down our Christmas tree. This one was about the nicest tree we've had in recent memory ...not just the decorations but the tree itself was a real beauty. When the trees are done with their Christmas duties, I heard they're going to use them as fish habitat by sinking them in some lakes.

Ocm? ...do you like fishing?

For the comraderie & quiet contemplation, yes. Evergreen-flavored fish sounds nice.

I'm gonna ask amonkie again.
