Thread Drift

[snapdragen]

PS, since I've been sober >21 years, can I get one of those hoodies with a red line through the "and alcohol" part?!?

Here ya go lise....

Snapdragen Rocks!

First you get me my beloved dachshund avatar, then you give me customized Engrish!!! You're the best!

Speaking of the doxie, did you catch the thread on Open Topic about "what the heck is that yellow thing in the doxie's mouth?" Some speculated banana slug. I'm sticking with bandana. Since you found it for me, snap, what do you think it is, eh?

Thanks again! L.

Wow - Snap does rock. That was some pretty prompt personalization!!

I only have one latte a day. It is a 5 shot latte. If its not people who "know" about me at Peets' they go "You know that's 5 shots...?" and look at me like I should be hitting the methadone instead. Typically I make it at home to avoid the judgment.

I love a good engrish on the thread drift. Keep 'em coming!

Oh - and SK - diet Sprite?? Seriously?? BLEECH!!!

Get it all over with in one fell swoop, eh? I love strong, dark coffee. I only drink the labor & delivery coffee out of a styrofoam cup for medicinal purposes. It's not as bad as diet Sprite, though!

[maillotpois]

Nothing is as bad as diet Sprite. Seriously. I hope SK's okay. She's been awfully quiet since she had that...

Possible alternative drinks include:

Also a laxative...

Coffee is my friend.

We've gone beyond "just friends", coffee and I...

It's either a bandana or a yellow collar. It's from a picture I found online of a dachshund race.

[maillotpois]

Sorry, Snap - the other one looks like a bagel - I mean a beagle.

Oh, this is so funny, in so many ways. A dachshund race. What kind of food is at the finish line, to get them to all run in the same direction? And that other one does have a total beagle face, but looks as tall as a doxie, so I'm thinkin' somebody was getting busy in the neighbor's back yard! Would that be a doxabeagle? A beaglehund? A doxle? What a great picture. "My" doxie looks rather demented, er, I mean determined close up. Thanks, again, snap, for finding me the perfect avatar! Glad to know where it came from, too. L.

Whew, is today over yet? Caffeine palpitations, sales weasels popping up, performance review (which of course I needlessly worried about), no lunch, diet Sprite experiment, sales weasel call at 4:30, detour home due to 7 car crash on highway (and only route home that doesn't go into the back of beyond), and now MP is suggesting a laxative. Go ahead, just continue heaping it on. I can take it . . . maybe.

Yeah, I'm sure it is a beagle - person who took the picture is probably a cat lover....

[Dianyla]

*slowly raising hand* I actually like diet Sprite.

And to keep this engrish related, my favorite sushi restaurant spells it:

"Splait"

I have been thinking all this time that it is your doxie in your av.

I thought I invented the 5 shot latte. When i walk in the the local starbucks the girl holds up her hand with her 5 fingers spread out. I return the sign and it is ready by the time I get to the front of the line.

Only in the sense that I love all dachshunds, and, therefore, all doxies are mine. I will try to find a picture of Schatzi, our pup who lived to be 19. If I can find it, the best one is of her with Orphan Annie, our English Setter. Annie was still a baby, but bigger than Schatzi. There's a shot of them, nose to nose, Schatzi clearly in charge, laying down the law for this big galumph of an English Setter. I'm indebted to snap for finding this picture for me. I don't have any pictures of Schatzi running, but this one captures her spirit. She was a miniature, black and red, smooth coated girl. I miss her. She died in....'85, I think.

This is hilarious. Talk about service!
