Have we Hugotontheonbiquiffinarians lost the "plot"?

My dear Group,

I know there is "secret" business going on. Yes chapter 3b I am talking to you!
And you are NOT irreplacible.

But...

Where is the confusing chatter, the irrelevant talk (to confoud the enemy...)

Chaps and Chappesses, "DO YOUR DUTY"

Chatter!

Guido, paisano, did you not get the super-secret encrypted invitation? We were all wondering where you were. Boy, that Abbottabad disco will never be the same!

Umm.
I was at Julias little do.
I must say it was boring.
When was the last time L*B**R let their hair down?

"Hair" being the operative word...

Hair!? I thought elephant was the operative word.

No. Grease is the word.

Whose word?

Portcullis is the "good" word.

Robert

I'll see your Portcullisand raise you.

*throws in two blue chips*

Call.

If you lot have finished sitting around playing cards, we've been called in on a rescue mission

Here's the plan. We're going to send in the clowns first, 'cos they're really scary. The clowns will be armed with scissors and they will run as fast as they can towards that orange power board thing and disarm it.

Clowns, scissors, running, power boards... Yes I think that covers it. What can possibly go wrong?

Oh, and Mary, Jill's got a full house, portcullises over elephants.

Good thing I've got 4 tentacles.

#11 Hey Man...
Many are ways strange betwix the plan and err... umm. something really important.

Great weed Man...What are you smoking...Like?

PS. My suggestion is that the "clowns" should be sent in as "shock" troops straight after the first wave.

Only 4???!!

I've also got a good card hand.

I am calling your bluff!

Weed 'em, and reap, jillmwo! A straight battlement with corbels wild.

I though Unicorns were wild.
Wait while I check my "hoyles".

You have wild unicorns? Perhaps I will come visit -- we only get the occasional gryphon flying over here.

Any preparations happening for the big New Year's surprise? There have been no links to the squirrel opera- or any inquiries for the possum buffet.

Someone told me that the opera has been sold out for months.

Also, there seems to be a shortage of possums along side the roads lately. Are they playing somewhere else, or is the crew getting more efficent at scooping?

psst! it's not the crew. It's James Faulkner.

A scoop and a half always makes it more piquant.

any good substitutions?
I 'm not going to the Danceathon sponsored by the puffins again.
The Beaver BBQ is tasteless and no one will be there- too many woodchips.

And one more thing-
Who is making the special cookies!!!! Not a hedgehog in sight!

25> I believe there's a grey poodle in charge of baking for this year's festivities. Who knows what will happen, though, now that he's gone and revealed himself.

*covers eyes*

Really! This is a family thread. Revealing himself, HHMMMPPP

NOT like that, The Poodle has just revealed its "inner CAT".

Via a CAT scan, I presume?

Will the LAB report be circulated? Even though he's a Poodle?

Labradoodle. *shudder*

Or Poodlador. Which may be a certified medical condition. Or at least certifiable.

It is snowing here- isn't that the signal for the puffin walk and stand-up marshmellow roast? I 'm telling you - nothing is on time this year!

That's because bread crumbs and butter fell into the works of the Mad Hatter's watch. And of course, he's the Official Timer.

But it was the best butter!

Treacle, treacle, treac -- zzzzzz

What day of the month is it?

It is my Unbirthday.

warbles tunelessly *A very merry un-birthday to you, to you*

I thought hfglen was asking a trick question so was about to type and post something on the order of rootabaga or argle-bargle. Otherwise, I regret to point out that its the next-to-last Sunday of the month which may or may not be the first day of your week as some consider that day of the week as the last day of the week. And this is the first month of the year (assuming you wish to think in terms of fiscal years) unless you count the first month as being September, working across the span of the academic year.

But the Hugotontheonbiquiffinarians -- I believe -- operate on a slightly modified version for marking and beating time which may make the entire preceding paragraph irrelevant....

Jill -- it was an exact quote from that scene in The Handbook, though not necessarily in the sequence some might expect. -- h

Was that the late 2011 version or the new 2012?

The original c. 1868 version, sad to say.

#42 - That's probably worth a dollar on e-bay.

#43 -- Oh, I'd probably give up to five dollars for it, depending on condition.

Wait, is that the copy that the squirrels were chewing on? Never mind.

Nasty creatures, the squirrels.

But not as nasty as a feral Hugotontheonbiquiffinarian

Them critters can 'nip' real bad.

Did you have to bring them into the conversation? Now I'm going to have nightmares.

I like a little nip myself every now and again.

Ouch.

mmm- Ground Hog Day is almost upon us and still no advanced preparations- are we forgetting the rumpus between the sloths and beagles when nothing was prepared!

Are there any penalties for hugging a ground hog on Valentine's Day?

Robert

#51 - Yes, but the fine is only two clams if the ground hog complains.

My most dear group,

Please do keep your eye on (and do be carefull with that
hugging of Echidnas (porcupines for those of you in the Northen Hemisphere)

Remember "EYES" are important".
You only have three.

Where was I, Oh yes...

Please do keep an eye on and remember the larger picture...

Lets see, "milk, take over the world, cat food, pay rates..."

Oh here it is,

"Be nice."

Hmm. Can't seem to find my notes on "taking over the world".

Member number ###, oh well the "secretariate" should know who I am.

The bastards still owe me for that last "...take over the world 'bash' "

Hey, you recon "acorns" are cheap in Australia?

Mutter, mutter, whinge, whinge...Hey is this mike off...?

Here, here!

Where?

There.

There, there.

Hear, hear!

Now, now...

Wait, wait!

While you wait, why not buy a police cap or t-shirt? You have the right to remain fabulous!

Drat! all this dithering! I am just going to hide under the special mushroom for the day.

Are you sure? There isn't mush room under there.

*wanders off glassy-eyed to the Bad Joke thread*

Magic mushrooms?

Still hiding! Considering the latest groundhog news, I might stay for a month or two.

Lifts head -sneezes from Mushroom stuff- looks around- silence! not a branch snapping- not a ground hog snuffling- hmm.... goes back to hiding place.

Target acquired. Bearing 345°, tracking left. Depth 8m, steady. Prepare to engage. Load tubes 1, 3, 5 and 7. Arm weapons in tubes 1, 3, 5 and… wait… Mister Snuffleupagus? Mister… Arghhhhhh!

Serves you right!
Still hiding but getting tired of mushroom cereal and stew.

Ah! There we go, back into the light! Confounded mazes! Remember folks, STAY AWAY from the middle door on the east wall of the game parlour, ESPECIALLY if you hear kazooing coming from within or the smell of chocolate chip cookies.
