The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for January 20, 2012

It’s like being caught up in a George Burns/Gracie Allen comedy skit.

Good Morning Marg, Susan, Ray C, Mikie2etc.etc.

Dazz you’re part of etc,etc

Love the glass door on the Ladies Restroom.

Good morning Leakey, Mikekey, Susan, Dave, Dazz, and all!

Is the TP hanging off the car on the rack?

Good morning Ray C, you get special mention. Played any ‘Roof Drop’ today?

Good morning my Crustwoodian friends!

@Marg: That doesn’t look like TP to me, but I can’t find it anywhere else, so you might be right.

Good Morning Leaky, Marg, Ray, Mikie, Cap’n. Raspberry, Purple, GymShoe…Colonel… (puff….wheeze…) Dave, Dazz…. (pant… ) … and (cough) everybody.

Now I have no….cough…. voice left to comment….

OK I’m back….

I was wondering too if that was the TP hanging down in streamers from the rack.

Not sure but I can tell you one place it isn’t, and that’s in the ladies room.

There’s never any TP in an auto shop bathroom, and usually there isn’t a separate one for women.

You’re lucky if they let you in to use a greasy little room with a light bulb handing from a cord, stacked cases of motor oil, and a roller towel that was last changed in the 20th century.

But a ladies room with a clear glass door… they must be hard up for entertainment.

Love the “key fobs.”A couple of actual ones I’ve used lately weren’t much smaller.

At the Grocery Outlet (which Joy and Burl would love) they handed me a hollow plastic toy bat, as long as a baseball bat but way fatter.

I bet there are funny smells in their car too, when they drive it.

Then maybe you shouldn’t drive it.

Morning, all

Actually, I think the TP is on the glass part of the door to the ladies rest room.And how could I overlook my buddy Ray C in my greetings??Mea Culpa………………….It had to be the ambien kicking in.Mea CulpaMea Maxima Culpa

G’morning all! How could Burl know that light had a meaning? I would not have realized that those were key fobs if Susan had not mentioned it, but now that I see the men’s key it adds to the “eeew” factor (like the glass door). Under the car is the only thing that looks remotely, and I thought originally that the plunger (with a floor drain somewhere) WAS the men’s, as I see no door.

You know, I think Burl would complain to the dealer if the “Check Engine” light didn’t come on.

It’s a sad note that we have a motor to move our seats back and forth and a light to tell us what the fuel gauge already tells us, and a totally useless tachometer (with our automatic transmissions), and a DVD player, but we no longer have an oil pressure gauge.

I’m glad to be part of etc. ;-P

yea, I checked the engine….it was there.Morning all you early risers, and stay up late-ers.

They should do like one of my daughter’s friends did many years ago: put a piece of black tape over the “check engine” light so it wasn’t so annoying.

Ah, Burl, such a genius! He’s the guy that smokes in the garage while filling the lawnmower with gasoline. Or works on electric recepts while they’re “hot.” Or believes those tyres still have some life in them, even in January.

Good morning to all.

Requiescat in pace.

I remember getting big fobs like that. Before they made it illegal, gas stations used to use a customers’ only policy on their restrooms. So they kept them locked all the time. To keep people from running off with the keys they would put them on something big and bulky, sometimes just a big stick. Of course maybe I wanted a free plunger!

I go to this place on weekends, even when I don’t need any work on my car. I just stand around by the women’s restroom door. wink wink

Good morning all!

@Mikie, I can picture Burl watching someone cut his grass and criticizing, not filling the tank and pushing it himself.Have we seen him doing any work, EVER?

Actually the plunger attached to the Men’s key is a GREAT idea…… Men can usually plan to use it as soon as they walk into the room…. Thanks to the last guy to drop by….! ! !

NOTE: If the funny noises are coming from the back seat , it’s just Jerry or Ma Darwin….! ! !

That’s a great new avatar, Dazzle. It inspired me to check your profile. You have an impressive bio. And Marg’s is chock full of activity, though she never mentions ponzi schemes as one of her hobbies.

I wish more people would fill in their biographies. It’s nice to know whether the person you insult in the comments is a mix martial arts champ or a SEAL sniper.

Marg, I told ya, the numbers are just symbols, you don’t do anything with them except compare them. Pretend they’re apples, pears, bells, aces, jacks, and other slot machine symbols. I try to play at least one a day; it’s the secret to my preternatural intelligence. (I’ve been told that my intelligence is in the top 99% of the country.) (Uhhh…wait a minute …)

The light is definitely NOT on!

Heide Fleiss? I wish! I might have a better bunch of retirement IRAs! I worked as an HVAC engineer after starting out drafting after I divorced my X in the mid 70s (when our 4 kids were starting HS). I’ve done some naughty things, but not illegal. My X died of lung cancer the same year my dad died of stomach cancer and my evil brother died a few years later of brain cancer. Someone suggested changes in avitars (to dogsniff) and this one shows my heraldic umbrella as well as my current little cutie.

@Marg and Gymshoe, my avatars are both just photos taken by some of my SCA friends at events. I reduced size per site requirements.

@leaky, my brother (only sibling) was a lawyer after my parents spoiled him (only boy and born just in time to have better economic times (1940). Spoiled children often become sociopaths (IMNHO) and I feel that the brain cancer was KARMA. I tried to keep him from selling the condo after dad’s death, but he had POA and put mom in a nasty nursing home. His GF finally put him in one too (KARMA) ;-D

“For all I know, these folks without bios were manufactured in a Japanese robot factory. “

My baby picture.

Okay, Colonel, I see why you have no bio. Wow!! Darth Vader Junior.

Leaky, you reminded me of my favorite comics as a kid: “Vault of Horror” and “Crypt of Terror” aka “Tales from the Crypt”. Chock full of gore and goblins, with masters of ceremony The Vault Keeper and The Crypt Keeper.

“Uh Col…………..You kinda resemble the “crypt keeper” from Tales from the crypt. “
