Another love shout out to Senior Ivan-of-the-Dead (or whatever he’s calling himself these days): I found the book!
Thanks to Life Sucks for the cool umbrella: a little 1 1/2″ pipe and a bucket full of sand did the trick, and to Marmiteman, I haven’t gotten anyone to help yet in picking up the table and chairs… if you still have them, I still want them.
Sorry it’s taking me so long! You guys are awesome! This is why I love LTWBB! Anger, humour and helpfulness in easy one-stop shopping! —TheBlackRose

Oh, and the ‘Sorry it’s taken me so long’ should immediately follow ‘if you still have them, I still want them’. It was an apology to Marmiteman. My bad.
No need to thank us Lois; it’s what us typical Nova Scotia bullies do . >; )
Where did you find the book?
lois eh? sreeee
I actually found it at a store in Chester if you can believe that!?! I know I can’t. We were planning on driving into H-fax to the store you suggested, but we stopped in a little used bookstore-gift shop thing for something else and there it was!
paingirl, I don’t understand the Lois thing, and I don’t want to. My half-sister’s mother is named Lois and she’s one person I would like to see erased from the planet.
But thank you Ivan! Spaceeba! (I think that’s it… maybe not)
Close enough TBR. And I’m thrilled you were able to find a copy so easily.
Lois – as in Lois Lane . To Infinity and Beyond….
Aw crap – mixing up my pop culture references.
Incipient Heat Stroke Rawk.
well we won’t speak of her again rosie^^
Uh… too many ‘e’s Ivan? Well, thanks anyway dear.
Too bad about the troll though. I suppose every forum has to have at least one, but the one here just sucks – no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
look mr. hand if you are speaking of the poster i think…not even close. stick around for a while then you might see the goats get angry
when i grow up i want to be an ivan 🙂 (i’ve already got a hat it says I”M IVAN ) 🙂
I think we should all get hats that say: ‘I’m Ivan”, but in Russian. That would be fun, then all of us bitchers would know each other. First rule of being in LTWWB: Don’t talk about LTWWB…
and a top secret handshake and a de-coder ring 🙂
Yeppers! We got ‘er goin’ now martym!
hey rosie, no problem about the umbrella, sorry i could find the bottom anywhere. hope you have fun with it. and my little man occupies a lot of my time now. which for the suckster is good. but i still drop by now and then, as you see here. good luck gang, enjoy the summer or what is left. adieu, til we meet again.
RAWK, SCREE, SNORT. Hey Guyz, I *mouse ears* the love but this is probably how Jim Jones got his start so don’t encourage me too much and if I offer you Ivan brand Koolaid – JUST SAY NO!
>; )
And for what it’s worth, I’m totally grooving on Grampy Suckulous and his little guy. Sure I miss the horn-dog vitriol, but the joy in Suckster’s life is incandescent. Thanks for sharing it with us Brother.
Okay, then we’ll get shirts that say ‘I’m Not Ivan’ in Russian…. but we’re keeping the de-coder rings and the secret handshake.
And isn’t Grampy just the cutest thing?
That he is Rosie, that he is. He is going to have so much fun teaching the little guy how to hot-wire a car, fire controlled aimed 3 round bursts on full auto, making him a fake ID, buying him his first illicit 6-pack, taking him on his first visit to a peeler bar.
I wish Lifesucks was my Grampy >: (
Me too. Maybe he’ll adopt us!
*Poke*
I’s back peoples! What’d I miss? :p
Lifesucks is a Grandad, zZz is on the milk carton and we have a new paranoid drama queen. Other than that, same old bullstuff. You still sportin plaster (and can you hook a guy up with some oxy…just kiddin >; )
Hey-oh Ivan,
I’m stuck with the cast til September 7… My wrist had to be rebroken so the healing process got reset. Sadly, I can’t take Oxy’s… Codeine allergy; I did have Dilaudid, but I ran outta those a week ago :s
So zZz is AWOL, and LS has a mini-mini-prodigy kickin around… The apocolypse is nye!
Wait, who’s the new drama queen? I could use some entertainment at others expense >:)
hey snapster…the colonel summed it up. how’s the bones?
It *Might* be me… but I’m not sure. If it is… do I win something? Do I get a crown? A car?
Yee-haw Snap – Hillybilly heroin!. And no Rosie, intellect and sense of humor are rarely in the arsenal of paranoid drama queens, so ,fortunately, you are out of the running there. Good thing too. We likes ya just the way you iz. >: )
THe bone is mending properly this time around. I had an X-Ray on Friday and everything is goin hunky-dorry… It sometimes flares up with pain though, I should get some more painkillers….
gorshers! Thanks Ivan! >blushes< Can Iz still have a crown?
And a Faberge Egg, Rosinka. Assuming the fucking Bolsheviks didn’t melt all of them down into shovels.
*Hint* they’ze not fer eatin’; just fer lookin’
So who is this paranoid drama queen???
*shrugs* i don’t know…but i do enjoy me ma’s pickled eggs. tho that simpson’s episode where lisa counts the eggs and then the one cockroach, that limited my consumption to homemade only
Plow through the “Racist” post on the other side. Nice Going Fat has made a new friend. To quote OceanLady by way of Seinfeld, our dramaqueen’s got Hand “and he’s gonna need it”
…wow….
I’m usually patient and read all the comments, but to hell with that
Ivan… we have a problem… I think *snap’s* mind really did!
Nah, it was jus a whole lotta “fuck-that-nonsense” with a pinch of ADD
Hey Ladies..I’m not a real Doctor. I just play one on the inter-web.
OMG! I just read the first line of my post again: ‘Senior Ivan-of-the-Dead’???? What the–? I am a goof… needless to say it was supposed to be ‘Senor’…. sorry Ivan, didn’t mean to imply that you are old! 🙂
But I am old Rosinka. I figure I’m about 5 years shy of having my picture on the side of a box of Depends with “Missing” printed underneath. No intents offended.
colonel and painey were both born in the 60’s…that is why we are the way we are
…and that should have read no offense taken. See, you were right – I am old.
you are scaring me again ivan^^^
Hey! I was born in the 60s too! Wait… OH NO! I’m old too! WHAAAAAAAAA!
Oi… You people jus reminded me that my birthday is in 3 weeks :s
Mine as well. Now it’s my turn to be scared.
i’m older than all of you…so says this bull. snapster no climbing over any barricades
I don’t plan to… At least not while it’s dark :p
All though I’m probably goin out the weekend after my birthday, so who knows what I’ll get up to >:D
are you sure painey; i was born in the 50’s 🙂
OoOOOoOOH, an older man! Wheeeeee!
a thousand apologies marty…ya old fart^^^i was hatched in 61
61 oooh by golly gee willickers your still wet behind the ears; I’ve got toe jam older than you 🙂
61, shit pg, i was old before that decade. hint, woodstock was a cool thing to us older teen flower children. rosie has an idea of how ancient i am. truth be told, i am 60, and don’t feel a day over 400. had to retire fangs then. and we are already a family here guys, just not related. have a good one, gotta feed the youngun now.
yep now all i gotta do is buy a house with a porch; put a big ole rockin chair on it ; wrap a shawl around me and start yell’n at neighbour kids to get the hell off my property 🙂
… don’t fergit yer double-barreled 12 gauge loaded with rock salt.
yep and I have already hiked my trousers over my tits and buy my depends by the caseload 🙂
suspenders martym and slip on sandals with socks. oh and hankies
and giant galoshes in the winter w/ farmer hat with the ear muffs (made out of artificial leather) and giant snot icicles and much grunting and non-sensicle gibberish audables 🙂
Cue Murray McLauchlan’s “Farmer’s Song”. >: )
do they make adult galoshes that you can wear your shoes inside? like when we were wee…tho i think i’ll pass on the horrible white leotards that came down to my knees
hmm idk if they still have those; i do member those leotards you speak of my sissy’s had em ; the sad thing i got my dad’s giant nose hair gene and I’ve got busted twice for booger popsicles already 🙁 🙂
But LS, you’re a well-preserved and damn sexy 60! (it’s true girls!) 😉
aaah nose hairs…better than getting little hairs on your chin. my sis-in-law calls them pig bristles
yea but my frigg’n eyebrows grow so lomg they poke me in the eyes sometimes (not kidding) 🙂
the bear and me pa have that going on. one of the boyos gets the unibrow
yea other than all that shit it’s not so bad being old 🙂 like you not on a 24/7 mission to get laid for examp. 🙂
yeah i gots me a big old bear *snort*
alas all I have for company is my ball of belly lint and my whittling knife and my medal for saving pearl harbor from the germans back in Korea 🙂
is that you as a wee bairn martym?
yes as you can see I was kept in a lovely landscaped holding pen after killing a playmate for messing with my shit umm i mean my toys 🙂
I love this thread… we went from lovin’ being helped to pig bristles in less than 70 posts! Love you guys (and gals)!
you started it rosie. merci rawk…this thread is a larf a minute. heehaw
don’t mind me….
they said I did such a good job with NS that I’m out fucking up Ontario…
should only take about a week.
be back soon enough.
it is a good luck day…well my critters are all black and evil…mom lady rawk
zZz… screw ’em up good boy! They deserve it! Yeehaw!
ahem *cough* this is from the mother, JUGS and speed thread from t’other side.
i would agree with general nerd, i particularly enjoyed data and i *mouse ears* spock/worf storylines. the cardassians became extremely tiresome…7/9 was a huge hit with the lads. the borg were the best…screee
I got a kick out of Garak, but yes, Cardassians lost their charm right smartish. Certain episodes are just standalone great. I loved the TNG where Picard is zapped by a probe and lives an entire life on a dying planet, and learnes to play the penny whistle. The episode where Voyager is worshipped as “The Skyship” by the planet whose inhabitants exist at a faster rate of time was neat. The original episode that introduced the Romulans is a straight up Enemy Below, destroyer vs. U-Boat story with Spock’s dad as the Romulan Commander.
We ARE nerds – resistance is futile…and too much effort. Change the channel Rawk.
SOBova tells me that somewhere in the states Juggalos pelted Tila Tequila with rocks and feces. Guess they are good for something after all.
