<p>And thanks, bhappymom!! I a not quite sure what you said, but it did the trick!! :)</p>
<p>oops, mootmom-
Didn't see your post. Didn't men to snare post #2000. Well, I sorta did, but I didn't realize I had any competition. Sorry. You can ride on my coattails anytime! I say we both win! Doubles all the way around!</p>
<p>Congrats to fireflyscout for getting a child into an affordable college!</p>
<p>OMG! The entire ceiling of the bar just opened, a million balloons cascade down, the mirror ball is descending, the music, ahhhhh, "i will survive"!....hands over ears, stop.....
Congrats jym626!!!</p>
<p>Ahhhh, the tiara fits so well.... << stumbling down the walkway>>>. And CONGRATS fireflyscout!! Affordable college! Does that mean you're buying a round for everyone with all that disposable cash?? Thanks!</p>
<p>jym, we like you! We really, really like you!</p>
<p>BHappy, welcome!</p>
<p>Alu OMG did you ever "drag the main" in WC?</p>
<p>Oooh. Acceptance speech time. I'd like to thank all my CC friends . .. and the little people (that would be those kiddos in h/s and college) who made it all happen.... without them, I wouldn't be here.... and I'd have been able to save enough money without all these !@#$%%school expenses to buy my own !@##$%&* drinks!!!</p>
<p>SBMom:</p>
<p>I was in a BOARDING SCHOOL! We weren't allowed to have cars! So one time this kid from Malibu, dad was superfamous and rich, he had a BMW off-campus and it CAUGHT ON FIRE. No kidding.</p>
<p>So I never did "drag the main". However, I did hitchike from Danville to the Planned Parenthood in WC. Also went shopping at the Capwells (was that the name?) with another girl who used me as a dupe to shoplift!!!!! OMG it was mortifying. I guess my naivete was obvious because they did not arrest me. Thank goodness.</p>
<p>Busted flat in Walnut Creek.</p>
<p>jym - BTW you have to pawn your tiara to help everyone pay their kids' tuition.....Didn't we tell you that part?</p>

:eek: Was that in the fine print somewhere?? After all these drinks, everything was blurry and fuzzy. </p>
<p>By the way, how much do you think these fine, high quality rhinestones are worth??</p>
<p>::::huff::::huff::::huff::::running back from the library where I had to look up the word, "sodden." Turns out it means, "sluggish" and full of water. Yeah, that works. :) </p>
<p>Then, I had to Google Barbara Cartwright because I thought she might be related to Angela Cartwright who played, Penny, on Lost in Space...she's not. Cleared that up. Then, on the way back, I had to stop by a sporting goods store, buy a football, and throw a "Hail Mary" down the Alley on account of Mudge's homily from the Book of Un-Common Knowledge and Vince Young's departure for the NFL draft. I think it landed on the roof.</p>
<p>Bartender, a jumbo Bloody Mary for Moot for medicinal purposes, and I'll have a shot of Ancient Age. Add my name to the chicken bucket. D will apply to grad schools in the Fall (Ph.D.). I think that's like a gazillion more years of college, right? :o</p>
<p>As we sing, Gladly, the Cross-Eyed Bear, in honor of fireflyscout's kid getting into a college she can afford, I present thee with your prize, jym. It's a beer bong, and you can share it with Moot in a couple of weeks when semester grades come out! :D</p>
<p>sluggy-
How can I ever thank you? But wait, since mootmom is also deserving of a prize,maybe we can get the 2-man (er.. 2 woman) beer bong? <a href="http://www.drinkingstuff.com/displaypage/store/basepage.php?path=1,7,34&prodid=654&AID=041924&LID=7205%5B/url%5D">http://www.drinkingstuff.com/displaypage/store/basepage.php?path=1,7,34&prodid=654&AID=041924&LID=7205</a> It's temporarily out of stock (go figure..) so maybe we can keep looking?</p>
<p>Can it be presented by either Sally Fields (with special thanks to SBmom) or Angela Cartwright, with her hair in braids like she looked when she was on the Danny Thomas show? Uh oh-- I am really showing my age. It scares me that I remember that. Please get that beer bong going and pour me a big one...</p>
<p>Good grief! That beer bong thing is nuts! And then there's the beer shotgun thingies -- so bizaare.</p>
<p>moominmama-
What do you think of the jellyfish beer bong? <a href="http://www.drinkingstuff.com/displaypage/store/basepage.php?path=1,7,34&prodid=1708&ref=plpi%5B/url%5D">http://www.drinkingstuff.com/displaypage/store/basepage.php?path=1,7,34&prodid=1708&ref=plpi</a> it kinda reminds me of the oxygen masks they have on airplanes. Now if THEY dispensed beer, that'd make for one helluva flight :)</p>
<p>By the way,I'll take the green one. It'll match my skin color after the first use. Mootmom-- do you want a matching one in green, or do you have a preference for the clear or the blue one?</p>
<p>Equally nuts! Why not just sip the beer in a civilized fashion? I know, college kids aren't civilized :)</p>
<p>I don't want to look a gift horse in the mouth, moominmama. Actually, if I had my 'drothers, I'd be a little more partial to the "shopaholic martini glass" <a href="http://www.topnotchgiftshop.com./sbcgls4-5510t.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.topnotchgiftshop.com./sbcgls4-5510t.html</a> but I am afraid it might get easily broken in sinners alley...</p>
<p>** edit** the shopaholic martini glass is from the Lolita collection. Now you're talkin....</p>
<p>Y'know, I gotta say, I rather like the "clear" one, it kinda reminds me of squishy inflate-o chairs and bop-bags.</p>
<p>Do we get a streaker racing across the stage at the awards ceremony? I think I could talk my H into that with no problem whatsoever....</p>
<p>Will he wear the tiara on his head? that'd be a nice touch...</p>
<p>Only if we ask him to!</p>
<p>Ask away! I'm taking it off as we speak. Its been fun to prance around the alley in it for a few hours. Anyone get any photos?</p>
