Friday moon rising


This crane is outside the old Courthouse Building in Columbus, while across the street a new one is being finished. Friday evening the moon was coming up, and the crane made a nice object for the camera to focus on.

Sorry, mah frienz.
I'm a little busy today.
But a little birdy (peep peep) came over on big people email and told me 200 was approaching....soo....

Vonnie said...

Hey, I'd share the win with you Z, but there can only be one.

Vonnie said...

two will enter
one will leave

Jennifer said...

Von! What's this "busy" thing?? I stopped numerous things in the name of Zardoz... of course, I'm my own boss right now. Maybe I'll go put a flaming bag of poo outside of my office... just to keep myself in line.

Jennifer said...

I had better change my avatar back before fish gets his undies in a knot.

Kathleen said...

does that dog have a giant moustache????

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

Hey, I'd share the win with you Z, but there can only be one.

hey, no prob, u deserve it. there will be others. I have had my Zardoz Day In The Sun.

Jennifer cracked me up. It would only be better if she misspelled it and blamed it on the blueberry vodka.

Vonnie said...

I leave out the "men"
because I am not a man

Vonnie said...

and yes, 3Bulls CAN eat it.

Vonnie said...

And I'm not at all assuming you otherz are not working. I'm just giving you a headz up as to my whereabouts.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

does that dog have a giant moustache????

couldn't be. Based upon the understanding I gleaned from Substance's place, mustaches flap.

Vonnie said...

blueberry vodka is delicious.

Vonnie said...

can I haz some right now?

Vonnie said...

do dogs drink blueberry vodka?

Jennifer said...

Blueberry vodka is pukalicious.

Vonnie said...

Bitch boss is back.
gotta go.
there are daggers coming out of her eyes at the back of my head.

Vonnie said...

it's like
she
knows.

Vonnie said...

Hey, Fish,
FINE YOU CAN WRITE MANY WORDS
and even some big words.
**harumph**

Jennifer said...

She does know, Von... Mooowaahaahahaahaa!!!

Jennifer said...

LOL! There's a chupadogra in Marmaduke!

Kathleen said...

flaming bags of poo for everyone!!!!

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

holy hell, Jennifer, you went and looked at it too?

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

Von, I worked for an adulterous Nazi wife-beater sociopath once.

Your boss can't be that bad.

Jennifer said...

holy hell, Jennifer, you went and looked at it too?

LOL! Not at the trailer, just the imdb page.

Jennifer said...

Von, I worked for an adulterous Nazi wife-beater sociopath once.

You were in government??

Jennifer said...

I've just realized... probably a little late... but not as late as Snag coming to discover Dr. Horrible, that a Zardoz makes me want to have a drink... However, it's 2:40pm on a Tuesday... I don't think that's going to work for me. Grrrr.

Jennifer said...

I can see the headlines now...

"Mom ties on a Zardoz at 2 in the afternoon during a school day!"

Note to self: schedule future Zardozes for after 6pm.

fish said...

Zardoz makes me want to have a drink... However, it's 2:40pm on a Tuesday... I don't think that's going to work for me. Grrrr.

I am pretty sure it works the same way regardless of time. Or time stamp if you prefer.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

Hey, Fish,
FINE YOU CAN WRITE MANY WORDS
and even some big words

HAh. feesh burned by Von. That's gonna leave a mark.

Even if feeshy just copypasta'ed.

Jennifer said...

Now I'm Zardozing alone... a bad sign.

"Have you ever Zardozed alone??"
"Have you ever partaken in numerous Zardoz in a short period of time?"
"Has Zardozing affect your interactions with family and friends?"

Ok... back to work.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...


Note to self: schedule future Zardozes for after 6pm.


Note to Jennifer: check when this one started.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

Mom ties on a Zardoz

Jennifer was nightclubbing with Michael Steele?

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

Time stamp says it's almost four. Call it an early Happy Hour.

Jennifer said...

Note to Jennifer: check when this one started.

:-P

Jennifer said...

Jennifer was nightclubbing with Michael Steele?

Well, the RNC did keep sending me literature...

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

"Zar-Doz! Take two in the afternoon, when you can't stop blathering!"

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

Well, the RNC did keep sending me literature

"literature" in brown paper wrappers

Vonnie said...

Ok.
LOLOLOLOL
on many things!!
Z - she IS a pearl wearing Republican. She doesn't own blue jeans.
How evil is that.....
She LIKED Sarah Palin
AND thinks global warning is a lie.

Vonnie said...

"have you ever zardozed alone?"
lol
and
Yes, yes I have.
s i g h

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

Maybe I'll go put a flaming bag of poo outside of my office


..or light the backyard on fire.

Vonnie said...

I can cut and paste too...
hmmm.
what to cut and paste....

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

How evil is that

not quite as evil as Marmaduke in iMAX.

Vonnie said...

Zardoz makes me want to drink too.
But so does the fact that it's Tuesday.
Or a day that ends in 'y', for that matter....

Vonnie said...

chupadogra!!!
HAHAHAHAHA

Jennifer said...

or light the backyard on fire.

ZRM!!! Don't forget Grizzled's advice! The power rake vaporizes dog poo!!

We went for the manual pick up this year, however, but last year's vaporizing was impressive.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

but Nazi wife beaters ARE pretty terrible.

don't forget the wife beating.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

The power rake vaporizes dog poo!!

As I recall power shop, vaporized fuel burns BETTER.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

what?

Talking about burning vaporized dog poop stalls a Zardoz?

Jennifer said...

Apparently a Zardoz only runs on ethanol.

fish said...

Nazi wife beaters

Is this anything like egg beaters?

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

but Nazi wife beaters ARE pretty terrible.

don't forget the wife beating.


did I just DO that?

awesome. I didn't even have any cranberry vodka.

fish said...

'cuz, you know, omelettes.

Jennifer said...

did I just DO that?

LOL!! Yeah, I was wondering where that came from.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

MenD needs to come by here and EXPLAIN HIMSELF.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

LOL!! Yeah, I was wondering where that came from.

echoing myself echoing Von.

recursive zombie is recursive.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

'cuz, you know, omelettes.

fish omelettes are AWFUL.

Jennifer said...

'cuz, you know, omelettes.

Ok, I'm calling for a ruling by the Explaining Voice...

Jennifer said...

fish omelettes are AWFUL.

If they had black glasses on, they'd be baaaad.

Jennifer said...

I think Kathleen ate the raspberry/chocolate-covered matzo and is now paying for it in the bathroom. Or her wastebasket...

Jennifer said...

ZRM! We could have this at 300 with a few more of your redundancy comments!

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

ZRM! We could have this at 300 with a few more of your redundancy comments!

self-pwnership is the BEST pwnership.

fish said...

redundancy zombie is redundant

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

Between the Zardoz and the Handsome Family playing, I might as well start drinking.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

Happy Tuesday!!

Jennifer said...

Between the Zardoz and the Handsome Family playing, I might as well start drinking.

I think the fact that you watched the Marmaduke trailer calls for a drink.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

Who let the fish out of the Phreezer?

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

Watching the Marmaduke trailer calls for meth

Jennifer said...

Who let the fish out of the Phreezer?

He had spare keys stashed inside an ice cream bar... Sorry.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

Who let the fish out of the Phreezer?

floppin all around on the floor like that....bleargh.

Jennifer said...

Watching the Marmaduke trailer calls for meth

Happy Tuesday!

Jennifer said...

floppin all around on the floor like that....bleargh.

Thundra can clean it up when he hoses the place down again.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

I hope we make 300 before thundra manages to get home with a new bottle of wine.

Jennifer said...

It's glorious out. Sunny... warmish... people are out working in their yards, walking their dogs... and not only am I not doing that, I'm not even doing the work I set out to do. I never should have checked thundra's blog.

I blame fish.

Vonnie said...

annnd I'm back

Vonnie said...

this working stuff gets in the way of everything.

Jennifer said...

I'm guessing we'll hit 300.

I also just put out the Von signal.

Vonnie said...

J - got your email.
I'm all over this

Jennifer said...

That was fast.

Vonnie said...

going for the back to back win

Vonnie said...

'cuz I'm a winner

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

well, thank Marmaduke for that, Von. I thought we'd never make 300.

Vonnie said...

I'm lighting quick like ninja

Jennifer said...

You go, girl! Not even a full moon can stop you!

Vonnie said...

how else you explain how I escaped your basement?

Vonnie said...

I'm actually nervous, you may sneak in again for the win!

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

Von got here BEFORE Jennifer said she put out the Von signal.

TIME PARADOX.

Jennifer said...

Huh??

:)

Vonnie said...

I feel like Z and Fishy are lurking

Vonnie said...

silently waiting to attack

Vonnie said...

like a sneaky fart

Vonnie said...

so close. so close and yet so far!

Vonnie said...

horrible song lyrics abound

Jennifer said...

Von got here BEFORE Jennifer said she put out the Von signal.

TIME PARADOX.


I blame fish. Ever since he got our of the Phreezer, things have been off...

Vonnie said...

annnd ME!

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

Careful Von. While you're keeping an eye on Jennifer, feeshy flops in for the mark.

He's fishy that way.

Vonnie said...

DAMN IT
J - you topped the 300.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

I feel like Z and Fishy are lurking

And Jennifer steals it again.

Jennifer said...

:(

Vonnie said...

IS it Z or Jennifer?
I just know it wasn't me.
sigh.

Jennifer said...

It was Z!!!

Jennifer said...

It was... Zombie... yeah, yeah, that's it...

Jennifer said...

We're already a 10th of the way through this latest round!!!

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

....and we haven't even started on the fish-killing ideas yet.

Jennifer said...

....and we haven't even started on the fish-killing ideas yet.

Well, he made it out of the phreezer... you've got to stop him first.

I think we're going to need a bigger phreezer...

Jennifer said...

We could kill him with kindness. Although he's got an ego, I'm guessing he would blush to death if we went after certain kinds of compliments...

Vonnie said...

not likely I'll be online at all tonight.
Haven't been home much, my place is a disaster zone.
Plus, Lost is on.
Priorities
AND I have guitar to practice
Damn C and G chords. gonna break my fingers!

Vonnie said...

compliments like Fish is super-de-dooper?

Jennifer said...

Von- I have missed every stinkin' episode of lost this season... and have forgotten to record. It pisses me off. I was loyal, even when loyalty was fading... and then I miss when they pull it all together.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

Although he's got an ego, I'm guessing

Yeah, you COULD say that.

the only effective deterrent is plovers.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

AND I have guitar to practice
Damn C and G chords


I could show you the cheat G chord, if your hands are big enough to wrap around the guitar neck.

Better off not, though. I learned it way long ago, and still never play a real G chord if I'm going too fast.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

Die Kreuzen on the iTunes. Are they punk? Grunge? Metal?

Yes.

Jennifer said...

Better off not, though. I learned it way long ago, and still never play a real G chord if I'm going too fast.


Cheaters never prosper...

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

Cheaters never prosper...


yeah, tell me about THAT.

Jennifer said...

Die Kreuzen on the iTunes. Are they punk? Grunge? Metal?

They're not krautrock??

Jennifer said...

the only effective deterrent is plovers.

Yeah, that is kind of entertaining.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

I learned the cheat-G from a BOC music book, so it's legal...

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

They're not krautrock??

well, they ARE from Milwaukee...

Jennifer said...

I learned the cheat-G from a BOC music book, so it's legal...

Yeah... and so was my correspondence art course, but that doesn't mean it's right...

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

if a Blue Oyster Cult music book is wrong, don't wanna be right....

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

hey, remember when the goal of a Zardoz was 100?

we were so young then...

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

at least our typging has gotten better.

Well, faster, if not more accurate.

Jennifer said...

if a Blue Oyster Cult music book is wrong, don't wanna be right....

Can you cheat on a cowbell? I suppose you can cheat on a cow-belle...

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

SAMPLE THE COWBELL.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

Can you cheat on a cowbell? I suppose you can cheat on a cow-belle

boooo.

but you can still SAMPLE THE COW-BELLE.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

333!

Half the Beast.

Jennifer said...

but you can still SAMPLE THE COW-BELLE.

Booooo!

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

I hope thundra-belle isn't planning on doing anything productive tonight.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

"Mom! They're Zardozing your blog again!"

classic.

Jennifer said...

"Mom! They're Zardozing your blog again!"

classic


It so was... I woke up in the middle evening haze, after sleeping most of the day, and the way she leaned in and said that, it almost sounded like, "Santa came!" or "The meteor shower has started!" :)

It was very funny.

Jennifer said...

LOL!! I just noticed "thundra-belle"... the forgotten Disney character!

fish said...

Hey Ferb, I know what we are going to do today!

Jennifer said...

Hey Ferb, I know what we are going to do today!

How about Perry?

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

Hey Ferb, I know what we are going to do today!

same thing we do every day, Pinky-

try to TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!

fish said...

the only effective deterrent is plovers.


Shudder. I still have dreams.

Jennifer said...

Ok... why does the comment count by thundra-belle's post say 234, but the count on the comment form says 206?? I smell a rat... or a fish....

Jennifer said...

Ok, now we're good... must be a lag in the time/space continuum.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

Ok... why does the comment count by thundra-belle's post say 234, but the count on the comment form says 206??

Umm, 345?

are you at the right blog?

Jennifer said...

are you at the right blog?

LOL! Probably not... I have funky comment readings coming through though. They're all over the place. Now I see the correct one, but they vary.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

my afternoon meeting canceled!!

BREAK OPEN THE BRANE VODKA!!

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

hmpf. Still have to pick up the dog though.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

must be a lag in the time/space continuum.

eddies.

eddies in the space time continuum.

fish said...

Who's Eddie?

Jennifer said...

hmpf. Still have to pick up the dog though.

I read that as "html. Still have to pick up the dog though."

And... I was wondering if we would see some image of the dog... or if your comments would be in "dog".

Where is the dog??

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

dammit, why does fieeshie have to be the one to get the straight line?

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

Where is the dog??

that's very zen. Where, really, is our "dog". Whose dog is it?

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

where is the dog, indeed?

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

better

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

ok, this is ..what, the sixth avatar I've had IN THIS THREAD?

it's a cry for help, people.

Jennifer said...

LOL!!!! I LAHVE IT!!!! LOL!!!

Did I say... LOL!!!!

Jennifer said...

Have we discussed this before?? If not... I would really like those holiday, removable black glasses for my house...

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

Bad Lucy.

Jennifer said...

dammit, why does fieeshie have to be the one to get the straight line?

It's how he rolls... and why we lahve his comments...

Jennifer said...

ZRM... I am now sending you dahg images. Yes... I have Photoshop, but I'm an old school girl... and, I've used up all fish tickets.. Expect dahg photos!!!

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

fish rolls in a straight line?

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

Meanwhile....

AN ALLEGEDLY drunk man was found in a commercial jet engine as it was being prepared for take-off.

The man was only spotted when an engineering and security team member saw a leg dangling from the rear of the engine at Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGI) in Delhi.

The plane, an Indian Airlines Airbus A-320, was being prepared for its first flight of the day two hours before scheduled departure to Raipur, The Times of India reported.

Rubbing his eye in disbelief and after checking again to make sure it wasn’t a delusion, the engineer informed others, who then rushed to the engine.

When confronted the man said he reached the airport in a truck and then went to sleep behind the biggest fan on a hot Delhi night.

Jennifer said...

fish rolls in a straight line?

ZRM... you're the one who made the assertion first... are you negating yourself?

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

I didn't say he rolls.

However, he's not the only one who can cut n paste.

Kathleen said...

we went a whole year!!!!

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

are you negating yourself?


yes. no. I don't know!!!

Jennifer said...

divulge!!!we went a whole year!!!!

Perhaps, snot, Brando.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

It ain't over until Brando comments.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

what the hell happened here?

Vonnie said...

I think we're finished.
375 is a good solid #.
And not a MenD in sight.
He's such a tease.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

you don't have to be finished Von

If you want to vent about LB1, go right ahead.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

I got pretty excited here for a second, when I saw the front page had 422 comments listed, knowing I had last put up #375-or-6. The Zardoz is ALIVE!!

Alas, no. Just seems like we dented thundra's blog. Or else someone poured cranberry vodka into it.

ifthethunderdontgetya™³²®© said...

Yep. Something fishy is going on here.

Who should we blame?

(Temporarily at home ITTGY™³²®©

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

I'd prefer to find out who has all the cranberry vodka.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

(Temporarily at home ITTGY™³²®©

called in sick so you could read the Zardoz?

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

I also think MenD should be censured by COBA or at least the CCA. Maybe Z.O.M.B.I.E. also.

Mendacious D said...

I'd prefer to find out who has all the cranberry vodka.

I do. Did, rather.

I also think MenD should be censured by COBA or at least the CCA. Maybe Z.O.M.B.I.E. also.

On what grounds? Anti-bias bias?

Mendacious D said...

called in sick so you could read the Zardoz?

In Soviet America...

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

On what grounds? Anti-bias bias?

Absent Without Leave during a Zardoz. Ignoring the Call sent out by Von. Lack of Zardoz-related avatarage. Probably Having More Fun Than The Rest of Us. Double-Parking.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

Also, Witholding Cranberry Vodka. Kathleen is particularly keen to prosecute that one.

Mendacious D said...

1. Absent Without Leave during a Zardoz.

As the Zardoz is far from over, this is impossible.

2. Ignoring the Call sent out by Von.

I was hunting for scarves. For Von.

3. Lack of Zardoz-related avatarage.

Not having even a non-working knowledge of Photoshop, this won't be happening. Unless someone wants to 'shop a pair of antlers onto this, you won't be seeing one.

4. Probably Having More Fun Than The Rest of Us.

If playing with my new phone counts as too much fun, I need better hobbies, and so do you.

5. Double-Parking.

Buy me a car and I'll happily plead guilty.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

As the Zardoz is far from over, this is impossible.

BUT BRANDO HAS COMMENTED!!!



Unless someone wants to 'shop a pair of antlers onto this,


check your big-person email.

Vonnie said...

Blah blah blah, MenD
I can't hear you when you whine.

Vonnie said...

LB1 is gone for the day. She's at the zoo, with her kids.
No lie,
I'm in the wrong field at this place.
Cuz, I'm here. She's out there in the sunshine.

Vonnie said...

And, an update:
We had a little chat late day yesterday.
She acknowledged that with the:
a) san fran rep I'm already covering for while she's on disability
b) atlanta rep who quit and last day is TODAY and I'm covering for her and
c) Dallas rep who just gave his notice yesterday, and as of 4/9 I'll also be covering for him, that
I'm entitled to being a little exhausted and a lot overworked
it's called doing 4 people's jobs.

Vonnie said...

she also bought me lunch today.
and a cookie
no candy, but a cookie

Vonnie said...

I do forgive her, but yesterday's evilness was pretty bad, and I'm not sure where that came from.

Vonnie said...

I'm totally here by myself.
I'm going for 400.
solo timez.

Vonnie said...

So, it's 75 and sunny. 65 at the Lake (where I'm at), but that's good too!

Vonnie said...

and MenD, you and I both know you are finished looking for scarves.

Vonnie said...

Need a better excuse.

Vonnie said...

Need a better excuse.

Vonnie said...

Fish?
No one?

Vonnie said...

annnd ME!!!!

fish said...

Are you sure you are alone?

Vonnie said...

400!!!
Mee!!!
It doesn't take much to entertain me.

fish said...

That call is coming from INSIDE THE BLOG!!!!!

Vonnie said...

uhoh, just got an error.
maybe we broke Thunda

Vonnie said...

Z? Hello?
anyone?
****echo*****
guess not.

Vonnie said...
This comment has been removed by the author.
fish said...

To preemptively affix blame:

I broke blogger.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

hey, I'm here!

and I made an avatar for MenD in shop class, I hope he likes it or zombie will be crushed.

Vonnie said...

and yet, I still have no avatar.
sniff sniff

Mendacious D said...

Von is right. I am done with scarf-searching. I still need something appropriate to send back though, as thanks for MY scarf.

Any suggestions?
