Hej!

Sorry I'm writing so late. I had such a good time last night, I had to sleep it off.

GREAT PARTY! Thanks!
I.

P.S. French Fries - one of my favorite foods - with vinegar and tons of salt!

Not too sure what to wear to events like this, so I came as I am. I didn't want to overdress just in case Britney showed up. I brought along a couple of bottles of Absolut Bastille that I found on my travels as a grand opening gift. I was hoping Inga might join us in a bottle.
http://absolutad.com/absolut_lists/locations/pictures/?id=301&_s=locations

Hope you enjoy them. I would like one of each of the following menu items to begin with, if you please. Keep them coming until the tips I give are larger than the price of the drinks.

BASTILLE COSMOPOLITAN $7.00
Absolut Mandarin, Cointreau, Lime Juice, Cranberry Juice
BASTILLE GIMLET $7.50
Grey Goose, Sugar, Fresh Lime Juice, Served Up & Chilled
BASTILLE MARGHARITA $7.50
Herradura Reposado, Cointreau, Lemon & Lime Juices, Served on the rocks

Oh yeah, and did I mention that those Valley Valet girls you got for tonight are the real thang? I believe Fred Durst said that about Britney's not too long ago. I may tip even bigger tonight if I don't get tipsy and tip over.

Vivre La France!

Oh there you are! I've been looking for you. I just traded my Mercedes for a brand new Chrysler 300 with a hemi in it. Wanna take ride?

S.Knight Rancelot,

Thanks so much for the AB. Drinks on the way. I have that miniatureGlenlivet whenever you'd like.

Glad you enjoyed the VVG lottery, sometimes you feel(like)a nut, sometimes you don't. It's all go at The Nut House.

Should we even start on the Rance Farewell Blog-o-round? I better have a drink first. They all heve lime - yummy. Mind if I take sips of yours?

Maybe you & Inga should wait on that 300 drive. Wouldn't want to see anything happen to the 3 of you.

Start me off with a BG -yum.

That VVG is V.V.G., not WG.

Thursday, 15 July 2004 - 7:37 PM PDT

Sorry I am a wee bit late, but as Rance will testify, "You know how horrendous traffic is on the 405". I had OJ ahead of me and you know how slow he goes. There must have been 20 cop cars trying to pull him over, but he just ignored them. Sad part is they wouldn't let the rest of the traffic go by either.

Anyway it's time to relax, so bring me a bottle of Dom Perignon '59 and a bottle of your finest Bordeaux. I'm in the mood to celebrate! I think it has a lot to do with the subliminal songs you play here. RED RED WINE by UB40: Now if that isn't a commercial endorsement, I don't know what is.

Oh, and bring me a bag of Cheetos just in case someone special shows up.

Thursday, 15 July 2004 - 7:59 PM PDT

So this is where all the action is! Bring on the dancing girls. I heard their bus made it through...so let's hear it for the Can-Can girls!

Vive la France!

I want you to know I came, I saw, I conqured. (SP) I did come but made the absolute mistake of taking to a buddist about religion. Me being atheist didn't help and as events would have it I got to know your bouncers very well. anyway I am sorry for all those broken chairs. As a way to make it up to you I have left a plate of my absolutely famous tomatoe sandwiches behind your bar. Enjoy at your leisure, I will try to behave better next time.

And don't worry about the mess, that's what The Nut House was designed for. Just wait 'til the Greek drinking holiday(BYOP).

FXM,

They got the bus fixed, but not the A/C, so we hosed them down to lower their body temp. Glad you liked the show.

Thursday, 15 July 2004 - 9:30 PM PDT

So is that clear now? V V G = Valley Valet Girls.

Vive la difference!

Thursday, 15 July 2004 - 9:36 PM PDT

chingus...Baby,

No cheetos, but we do have salt(not piss) & vinegar frites. I think she'll go for those. Don Ho's up next, then back to the French ditties.

The nut house? That'll do.

I'm Sammy. Sammy the Bull. My full, AKC registered (not really, mutts aren't allowed in their register, as opposed to, I'm guessing, the 'nut house'), name is Sammy Double Dew Claw the Bull Gravano. Sammy the Bull will do, you know, for short.

On religion: I either worship the moon or nothing at all. On politics: I'm either against declawing or hate cats altogether. Or both. Simultaneously. On money: whatever. Milk bones are my currency.

I like it here. The Bouillabaisse is delish, and the wine, well the wine is . . . fermented grapes.

Friday, 16 July 2004 - 2:18 AM PDT

Sammy,

Breaking my rule here... you might wanna try The Church of the Inner Eyelid sometime. You have a very long name, but it isn't like 5 different names, so I think you're OK. Check out "Bloggers Paradise: 2nd Topic" for more info on The Church of the Inner Eyelid(aka: CUTIE)policy.

Do dogs like nuts(other than their own)?

Congrats on the house, I'll read more closely when I'm awake.

As far as French men & French mustard, Oui-Oui!!!

Hej, Rancelot!

Good job! Sure I'll go for a ride! Now, did you get the regular sedan or the one that looks like a station wagon? I know you're gonna think I'm nuts, but I think the station wagon model is TOO COOL. If I could afford one, and it had four-wheel drive, I'd go for one of THOSE!
I.

Friday, 16 July 2004 - 8:55 AM PDT

I saw the 300 sedan sitting on the lot, and it was love at first sight. I did look at the "sports wagon" as they call it, and I liked all the features especially the cargo and extra curricular activity room in back, but the sedan is more my style.

Excuse us for just a minute Lady C, while we check out the new hardware. But in the immortal words of our Governator, "I'll be back!"

Friday, 16 July 2004 - 8:59 AM PDT

Maybe you better hose me down too! Those gals are pretty hot no matter what. Never mind, let me see if any of those young ladies want to cool me off.

Hej, Rancelot:

I love the Absolut bottle with the neck cut off.

You've reminded me of an incident from my childhood. I was about 12 or so. My full-blooded, Swedish grandmother (right off the boat) was shutting a front hall window (you know, the old kind with the weights and ropes).

I guess I'd better set you up for this. Mormor (mother's mother or "Grandmother") was so unbelievably strict about certain things. One could not make ANY references toward sex, certain body organs, swear words, etc. It was just not allowed. There'd be this shrill string of curses in Swedish (that I did not understand at the time - said them in Sweden and almost got lynched. I could never figure out why SHE could say them, and I couldn't). This is why the following story was such a SHOCK to me - it was SO out of character for her.

Well, okay, back to the story - she's shutting the window, and I don't know what went wrong, but the thing slammed down really hard and fast. I was standing right there, and I probably jumped 10 feet in fear from the huge bang when the window hit the sill.

She calmly locks the window, turns to me, and in this low, perfectly calm voice, says, "French Birth Control - Guillotine Method." I thought I was going to die - I almost fell on the floor from the shock, but I got what she was talking about IMMEDIATELY, and started crackin' up really loud. Of course, NOW she's pissed because she knows that I know what she's talkin' about (and she's mad, because I guess I wasn't supposed to know these things at 12), so she starts up with the string of Swedish curse words at me, which only made me laugh harder.

Ah, maybe you had to be there. You had to know how stoic Mormor was, I guess; it was absolutely hysterical. I used the comment against her everytime thereafter that she went near a window, but I was damned smart enough to stand far enough away that I couldn't catch the backhand.

Thanks for the memory.
I.

P.S. Have you had Absolut Currant? It's great. I've never seen it here, but I've had it in Sweden. I think it's the best.

Friday, 16 July 2004 - 9:15 AM PDT

Rancelot! I'm impressed!

NICE CAR!! Such a SMOOTH RIDE! I was thinking that that Sports Wagon would be so cool to take camping, ja? Wouldn't that just add a little ironic symbolism to some nice woodsy campground? I'll bet the back is comfortable to sleep in - better than paying $79 for the EconoLodge (us Swedes tend to be frugal).

Hej, Chinq:

I was thinking of nominating you to be the new "Rance," but I thought about it, and I think we'd miss you too much here (and your hysterical comments, like "Do dogs like nuts (other than their own?). Same goes for Rancelot. I've got my little community I circle through, and I don't want any of you to disappear. You're too good on your own.
I.

Friday, 16 July 2004 - 10:59 AM PDT

Hej, guys!

Man, this is too weird. I'm gettin' too into this blog thing; I'm even forgetting where I am. I am way too engrossed. Either that or it's this migraine medicine (too many Absoluts at your party). My bosses keep walking back into my office since it seems I'm working so frickin' hard (the fingers are going a mile a minute - Rancelot, get that nasty thought out of your head!), and they cannot figure out from whence all this hard work is coming. I used to be so quick at minimizing my screen, but I'm getting too involved . . . I'm forgetting where I am; what I'm supposed to be doing! Ohhhhh, Mr. Bill!!! I'm spiraling . . . .

All right, I'm okay now.
Later,
I.

Hey,

I won't speak for SKR, but I like my small pond. If you're too busy to start your own "pond", email me about a guest host stint. I've got the perfect setup for you.
