h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Tonight was the 100th board meeting I have attended since taking over at the library. If anything calls for a stiff G&T, that does.

G&T Generation and Transmission (electric power)
G&T Gifted and Talented (education)
G&T Gin and Tonic (mixed drink)
G&T Grants and Training (DHS)


coming right up, served by a gifted and talented waiter powered by generation and transmission and whatever.

With any luck it will put me to sleep. It was actually a good meeting tonight. Short and sweet. Can't imagine why I'm so tired.

A short meeting? Are you sure you didn't dream it?

100 is certainly a milestone.

*Hugs* Congratulations on surviving them. ^.~

How many more of these meetings involve the smellfungus?
The last of them will be well worth another celebration

7 left. Lucky 7. Unless we have a need for a special meeting.

I plan to have a nice little reception for her last meeting. I'll even pay for the cake and punch myself.

I volunteer to make the cake!

You're on! I'm saving back a bottle of Lord C's cranberry wine to use in the punch.

I was just drinking a stiff G&T myself, and thinking slightly sour and unkind thoughts about whoevertheheckitis who decides budgets and staffing levels for the Library of Glum. And then I thought, oh well, at least we don't have a smellfungus. Or at least, not a very powerful one. (We have a swearfungus. One who bellows 'oh for 's sake!' in an audible-in-the-main-library way at every minor inconvenience or deviation from what she has decided is her routine. I am this close to tipping her into a box of polystyrene packaging pellets and mailing her to Murmansk).

Mmm, punch. Shall I make trifle? It would be so fun to trifle with smellfungus's last day...

I think the gin is having some kind of effect on me. Odd, that.

hmh, are you putting not oregano in the cake?

Why add the wine to the punch? Why not just pour the wine in the punchbowl, add a little seven up and get everyone looped?

Ah, the answer to that one is simple.......bbm.....babiss board members

Sorry, I forgot about the babbiss

Babbiss?

>>I'll even pay for the cake and punch myself.<<

Please don't punch yourself, Hyp.

Babbiss equals Southern Baptists. They are teetotalers.

Ah!

*nods sagely

We had a friend who was such a tea totaller he wouldn't even eat a Bourbon ball. He was afraid they would make him drunk.

I haven't made those in years. Rum Balls are good too.

Do the babbists use cough medicine?

I have a friend who makes a rum cake that WILL make you drunk if you eat too much of it. Man, is it good. She doesn't use cheap rum either.

Yes, the cake "could" have not oregano in it if this was deemed suitable. Would that mess with smellfungus' head??

I, for one, certainly hope it would mess with her head. She's a mess anyway. Rah, rah for not oregano!
