Martini Moments… While Speaking Martini
1. The obvious solution to having cold feet is wrapping yourself in the comfort of warm socks but dipping your toes in cold water could yield unexpected thrills.
2. Killing an hour on Google Translate when you’ve plugged your blog’s url and got a hilarious French translation can keep you very amused for a long time. And when you start reading your reader comments in French, it’s easy to kill another hour in laughter.
3. Attempting murder on your possessed PC - now dubbed Lazarus - the one that shrugs and refuses to reboot at times, is like locking horns with the devil. You have no control over its soul if indeed it has one.
4. When things that cannot be explained bring a smile, a sudden warmth and titillating sensations, it is best to reach for the remote control and switch the thought processes off for the sake of feeling good.
5. With my milestone 100th post only 2 posts away, my ideas have gone down the way of the V shaped glass. If only Martinis could talk.

Hahaha, I absolutely love the tagline in the picture.
If by thrills you mean you can’t feel your toes anymore, I’d have to pass. My poor feet need to be wrapped in socks and uggs all the time to stay warm.
If only my Fresh was a little better I might have tickled myself pick too.
Of course not! They need to be stroked out of their shells. Coaxed into submission. Then clobbered with a hammer repeatedly the demons of stupidity have been exorcised. Or you need a new computer.
Best to always appreciate happiness and joy with a smile, never with a battery of questions.
Gather up all your martinis and make a mega-martini. Figuring what to write after that will be as easy as taking more than your fair share of sips from that extra large glass.

Hmm…putting ordered lists doesn’t seem to work well on the layout.

OMG, I sooooooooo hear ya on #3!!!

This guy who was the biggest hick I ever met told me that when you get a cold, you should put Ben Gay on your feet and wear two pairs of white socks.
I tried it and it works like a charm–now I do it almost every night, for cold feet.
Ben Gay is so expensive–what’s up with that?
You can also get this homeopathic stuff for cold feet at a health food store.
Google Translator translates Spanish almost PERFECTLY sometimes–but it doesn’t translate Portuguese worth a crap, I have noticed. What is up with that?
I would think if you can translate Spanish, you can translate Portuguese.
But I guess it is lucky because the Portuguese translation is usually funny.

Edrei: I couldn’t help photographing that sign, just for the blog!
1. Uggs? Not for me.
3. Done all that. Now I’m playing nice, and playing with another one. Lazarus is behaving now… sort of.
4. Agree.
5. We’ll see… all I know it crept up on me!
Edrei: Let’s see if mine above has worked. Nope. I’ve had to pretty it up!
LB: Let’s go! There’s a hot lil number I’ve got my eyes on!
Zen: Never heard of Ben Gay before. Is that some ointment?
I should try Spanish, I’m sure it would be good for a laugh!

1. Hehe, you wanna try our cold water? How’s an icecream headache sound for an expected thrill? Good thing you are stopping at toes.
2. Do you ever wonder what non-english speakers make of you when they read you through a translater? I have a Ukranian lurker… can you imagine???!!!
3. You have 20 days to spend your money.
4. Ahhh! The mental MUTE button! I like it!! Actaully… I NEED IT!
5. I am sure you’ll pull the rabbit of inspiration from the hat of complacency in the nick of time.

Edrei: It didn’t work for me either.
Gboy:
1. Oh noooo…. just dipping the big one!
2. Nice! I’ve had the blog translated a couple of times, no wonder they never came back!
3. Noted.
4. Trust a man to have a remote control answer!
5. Or I may go against convention. Hmm…

Gaaahh!! Why must my name revert back to its original!!
You blog is posessed too I tells ya!!
1. Well…it’s not like I wear them as a fashion statement. Just to keep them toasty in winter.

Kami: I can’t keep up with you!
Poor blog, it gets the blame for everything! 1. Unsexy thoughts. Unsexy thoughts. That’s what comes to mind with ugg boots.

Ha, the French stuff is pretty funny and very horrible. The online translators are my friend considering they’re so bad I will always have a job. This blog has been around for 100 posts already? Mon dieu, mon café est froid.

Egan: It’s a hoot reading the translations, and I like the way it gives up and uses English words when it gets too hard.
Mais oui, un centenaire. Un petit noir ou bien a hazelnut latte?
June 11th, 2008 at 5:17 pm
Oui, some hazelnut sounds really good. I’m still hooked on those grace a toi. Do people Down Under get confused and refer to English as Australian like some foolish Americans say they speak “American”?
June 11th, 2008 at 5:43 pm
Egan: Moi aussi. They’re so nice and nutty. Like me. If you’re asking me about American English, didn’t Microsoft invent something that doesn’t exist?!
