Week 3: Standings and Bonuses

[sheila]

Yeah, I'm behind. Way behind. I'll get a list of the top 20 before the bonuses, but I think that might be it for the week.

Of course, the good news is that by the end of the month, we'll have the full results!

[schwanda]

Waiting impatiently.... :lol: j/k

Amanda

[Barb]

Of course, the good news is that by the end of the month, we'll have the full results!

Do you mean by the end of the week? 'Cause I hope we have the results by the end of the month. :heee:

Wait, maybe that was sarcasm?

[Jayne]

:lol: I can't believe the month os over. I will be excited to add up how many posts total were made for the month of November. I bet it was the busiest month ever posted in OUAL history!

[AmyLynn]

Yeah, I'm behind. Way behind. I'll get a list of the top 20 before the bonuses, but I think that might be it for the week.

Of course, the good news is that by the end of the month, we'll have the full results!

This week is the end of the month :lol:

[Barb]

I don't know if we should be proud or ashamed.

[Jayne]

I would say proud. It just goes to show you we are chatting people who have a lot on our minds. I bet this has really helped people get through their week. I am a happier person when I come here and can find lots to post

[Barb]

This place saves my sanity, that's true. :nod:

[schwanda]

Me too! Me too!
It's like a little ray of sunshine....

Amanda

[Jayne]

I agree with you Amanda. It realy makes my day to come here and see fun conversations going on!

[MrsPeacefrog]

I've got sunshine
On a cloudy day.
When it's cold outside,
I've got the month of May.

Well, I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My OUAL (My OUAL, my OUAL)
Talkin' 'bout my OUAL (My OUAL)

[schwanda]

Thanks Sheila!
Scary to say but I moved up to #5!

Amanda

[Barb]

What the... #3? :faint:

[Cami]

I think we need to have at least 5 people hitting 1000!

I will fight to keep Clare from getting past me! :lol:

[schwanda]

There isn't much time left Cami. I'm not sure I can make 1000.... (or even 900 for that matter!).

Amanda

[Barb]

Amanda - we've got to figure out a way to get to 1,000. :nod:

[schwanda]

I'm working on it! I think we need a new BS thread....

Amanda

[Darcy]

I'm sure there's more BS that needs to be discussed.

[schwanda]

I'm having trouble thinking up a good idea for a new thread.... :dunno:

Amanda

[Barb]

Me too. I can't even think of a good way to start a BS thread.

[schwanda]

I now understand how hard it must be for Sheila to think up a question of the day!

Amanda

[Barb]

I don't know how she does it.

Maybe we can get to 1,000 posts by discussing how to get to 1,000 posts.

[schwanda]

There's a thought! :lol:
I just started a new BS thread....

Amanda

[Jayne]

I am no way going to catch DEB. With all her bonus points she is going to blow me out of the water. AHHHH :lol:

[AmyLynn]

What the... #3? :faint:

You are a posting queen, moving up from number 17.......

[Sandy]

Dang! I think I post a lot and I am eating your guys' dust! :lol:

[Jayne]

:lol: You got a lot of posting to catch up sandy and there are only 2 days left in the month :lol:

[schwanda]

Deb's insomnia has definitely made her uncatchable! :lol:

Amanda

[Jayne]

I had her for a while but this past weekend she flew by me without even blinking. Add her bonuses and she can't be caught

[schwanda]

I'm sure if you were really determined you could do it! :lol:

Amanda

[Jayne]

have you noticed...I am trying :lol:

[Jayne]

She is asleep and she can't catch me if she is in bed!

[Jayne]

Although I am not going to serial post all over the board..Maybe just a few places like here :lol:

[schwanda]

I'll all for serial posting. I think it would be cool if I reached 1000 but I don't think I have enough time....

Amanda

[Jayne]

You can do it..Only 130 left...YOU CAN DO IT :lol:

[Jayne]

We could always just carry on a little conversation of our own and see how far we get :lol: I am pretty sure that is what Barb and I did for a while in the cool website thread. I need to find that thread again :lol:

[schwanda]

Too funny! I think I need to go eat lunch and then I'll come back and continue this conversation!

Amanda

[Jayne]

Have something for me. I fed the kids but Can't for the life of me come up with something I want to eat.

[schwanda]

The hospital cafeteria wasn't exactly inspiring! :lol:

Amanda

[Jayne]

:lol: I love to go have lunch with my mom at the hospital. (she is head of x-ray) They seem to always have some pretty good stuff when I head over!

[MrsPeacefrog]

Holy crap, I love it how you guys manage to get so many posts by posting about how to get so many posts!

Did that sentence hurt your brain?

Okay, no fair taking advantage of me while I am asleep, you guys have one up on me, when you guys are asleep there is no one else to really play with other than Clare and she is rarely on late, so I end up talking to myself, which of course isn't that hard, but with no one to carry on a convo with it's harder, so I am going to cry "poor me" everyone feel sorry for the pathetic Aussie who is all by herself :lol2:

[Jayne]

Oh wow...:lol: Poor Deb...:lol: I am sure you will still clean house!

[MrsPeacefrog]

:lol: now THAT was dripping with sarcasm!

Hmmmm, clean house or post on OUAL... now that's a no brainer! See you around the boards :awink:

[Bridget]

Did that sentence hurt your brain?


No because unlike you Aussies we are right side up so our brains work better.

:heee:

[Barb]

:violin:

I've always wanted to use that smiley!

[MrsPeacefrog]

No because unlike you Aussies we are right side up so our brains work better.

:heee:

AHHH on the contrary, because we are upside down our brains are flooded with oxygen rich blood which helps us be smarter, wiser and just all round more knowledgable human beings :heee:

Glad I got to help you use that smiley, Barb.

[Barb]

AHHH on the contrary, because we are upside down our brains are flooded with oxygen rich blood which helps us be smarter, wiser and just all round more knowledgable human beings :heee:


You talk cooler than us, that's for sure.

[Bridget]

You talk cooler than us, that's for sure.

Come on, say "throw another shrimp on the barbie for us". http://yelims2.free.fr/Demons/Demon16.gif

[Jayne]

Oh Bridget!!! :lol: your so cool!

I will agree with Barb..you have way cooler talk then we do!

[MrsPeacefrog]

:errr:

Please don't make me :errr:

Okay I will do it just for you

"Throw another shrimp on the Barbie mate" :errr: I will NEVER say that again!

[Bridget]

:errr:

Please don't make me :errr:

Okay I will do it just for you

"Throw another shrimp on the Barbie mate" :errr: I will NEVER say that again!

The Debil Made Her Do It!!!! http://yelims2.free.fr/Demons/Demon02.gif


http://www.freesmileys.org/emo/music013.gif

[Barb]

You'll do (or say) anything to get another post. :lol:

[Cami]

I just read an article in a home magazine about a family who moved from England to Perth. Three times in the interview, the wife mentioned "firing up the barbie" and I was :lol:

[MrsPeacefrog]

damn straight, Barb!

:lol: I have no problems saying "firing up the barbie" heck I call it a barbie too, but we don't call the SHRIMP! and I hate that saying cause it's never been used here! Paul Hogan made it up to be more "american friendly" because you guys wouldn't know what a prawn was.

[schwanda]

Poor Deb. She has to talk to herself on OUAL all night long. Very sad.
Amazing how you can talk to yourself 1200+ posts worth just in the month of November! :lol: I'm impressed!!!

Amanda

[Cami]

well that's good to know because I was totally discounting everything the woman in the article said after I read the "barbie" comment. :lol:

[Barb]

damn straight, Barb!

:lol: I have no problems saying "firing up the barbie" heck I call it a barbie too, but we don't call the SHRIMP! and I hate that saying cause it's never been used here! Paul Hogan made it up to be more "american friendly" because you guys wouldn't know what a prawn was.

For what it's worth, I know what a prawn is. :lol:

[stass]

Okay I better get busy because you all been posting while I've been at work. :bolt:

[Cami]

For what it's worth, I know what a prawn is. :lol:

I agree :lol: I think a lot of Americans know what a prawn is. Except my mom, because she asked me about this last week. :lol:

[Jayne]

:lol: I don't know what Prawn is.

You know I am on here when many of you are on and I often feel I talk to myself so I can totally see how Deb can talk to her self for 1200 posts :lol:

[Barb]

Here you go Jayne, from Wikepedia:

Prawns are edible, shrimp (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caridea)-like crustaceans (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crustacean), belonging to the sub-order (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suborder) Dendrobranchiata

And that's my good deed of the day. Only took me all day. :lol:

[Barb]

Oh God, this is a picture of a prawn. :dead:

http://www.cmis.csiro.au/FAES/projects/white_banana_prawn_web.jpg

[Nichole]

I thought prawns were just big shrimp. Less shrimpy in size than shrimp. :lol:

[Nichole]

Ew gross, Barb. I remember someone at work eating those once. They looked just like that. I wanted to barf.

[Barb]

Yeah, that's disgusting. Mental note: Don't ever order prawns. :errr:

[Jayne]

Oh...gross..sorry I asked.

[Nichole]

No, they're perfectly tasty and fine when they're beheaded. Especially when coated in garlic and butter. Then they're just like shrimp. :lick:

[Barb]

As long as I don't have to see what they looked like as animals, I'm fine.

[Nichole]

Exactly. :nod:

[Cami]

How would anyone get past all those little leggy things to find out it tastes good? :dead: I hate shrimp. And prawns too, I guess. Especially as a potato chip flavor. :dead:

[Jayne]

I don't eat anything that looked like that to begin with :lol:

[schwanda]

We had shrimp for dinner and they were yummy!

Amanda

[schwanda]

Um.... How did a thread about standings and bonuses turn into a discussion of prawns and shrimp???

Amanda

[Jayne]

Have any of the bonus points been figured in anywhere yet or are they all to be figured in at the end. If they haven't been figured in then Deb is going to smoke me.

[schwanda]

Good question Jayne! I have no idea... :dunno:

Amanda

[sheila]

The first two weeks of bonuses have been figured in. But not this past weeks.

[schwanda]

I may be closer to 1000 than I thought!!!

Amanda

[MrsPeacefrog]

Okay people,

I can't believe I did this, but just for bridget, I recorded myself saying "Throw another shrimp on the barbie!"

It's a one time offer! so get in and laugh now, because I can't guarentee how long I will leave this post up. :lol:

http://www.dropshots.com/day.php?userid=10587&cdate=20061129&ctime=120414

[Bridget]

Deb, you may be expatriated for that. There. are. no. words. I am pissing myself. Literally holding my aching stomach.

[MrsPeacefrog]

Ok people, now that I have HUMILIATED myself, you all have to do it too.

I post a challenge, with your best aussie accent, I want to hear you all say it too! :giggle:

[schwanda]

That. is. hilarious. The funniest thing I've hear in a long time. (Other than Michele's son peeing in the fridge. That was pretty funny, too.)

Amanda

[Michele]

:lol: OMG I'm laughing so hard. My husband thinks I'm crazy! :lol:

[Michele]

Hey now! Deb is funnier than fridge pee! :lol:

[Michele]

Come to think of it, I haven't told Scott about the fridge pee yet. I wonder if he'll find it funny.

[Jayne]

Quick..someone go quote her..then she can't delete the post!!!

[Michele]

4 posts in a row...I'm closing in on Deb... :lol:

[schwanda]

Hey now! Deb is funnier than fridge pee! :lol:

Ok, ok. Deb IS funnier than fridge pee but it's close! :lol:

Amanda

[Nichole]

That's hilarious, Deb! :lol: Your turn, Bridget. :giggle:

[MrsPeacefrog]

Yes, Bridget. I am waiting :giggle:

[sheila]

Thank you deb. I might have to download that to my computer so I can listen to it at will. Maybe I can make it my ring tone and tell everyone who hears my phone ring all about it. :giggle:

[sheila]

Seriously though, it was great to hear your voice. How freaking cool. :ok:

[Nichole]

Super cool. :nod: Seriously, I like your accent, too.

[Michele]

Thank you deb. I might have to download that to my computer so I can listen to it at will. Maybe I can make it my ring tone and tell everyone who hears my phone ring all about it. :giggle:

OMG! I was just thinking that it would make a great ringtone... :lol:

[Nichole]

How exactly would one do that, hypothetically? :shuffle:

[stass]

I think I just wet myself. :blush: :lol:

[MrsPeacefrog]

:lol2: gawd could you imagine me being a ringtone, it would be like that annoying frog. Do you guys have him over there?

[Bridget]

I recorded mine (:blush: ) but I can't get the dang thing to upload. :bawl:

[MrsPeacefrog]

I can't wait to hear Bridget's take on the Aussie accent.

I guess there is no doubt where I am from now, :shuffle:

[Nichole]

Ocker :giggle:

[MrsPeacefrog]

Ocker :giggle:

Fully hard!! :lol:

Nah, I didn't sound like Steve Irwin did I?

[Nichole]

No, not that ockery. :lol:

Fully hard? :lol:

Like, totally. :giggle:

[MrsPeacefrog]

:lol2: Thanks for that, Nichole. That made me do a full belly laugh!!

Fully hard is how Tony answers to everything, he tries to be a "fully hard leb" :giggle:

[Jayne]

I just finally listened to that Deb. that is awesome. Dan has his ring tone as Alyssa. It says "ring ring ring, Dad, answer your phone" he did if for China. I am going to have to have him use you for my ring tone..it will be fun!

[Bev]

What's a leb? :scratch:

Love it Deb! :) What frog are you talking about? This one?
http://www.crazyfroghits.com/images/cfh2_packshot.jpg (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000FP2GUW/qid=1149005347/sr=8-9/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i9_xgl/026-6558967-3490039)

Hmm, when I googled crazy frog it did have a thing from wikipedia saying he was used to market a ringtone for phones. Who knew? :lol:

[Jayne]

never heard of him

[MrsPeacefrog]

:lol: Yep that's the annoying crazy frog! When I hear people with that ring tone I about :puke:

And a leb is slang for a lebanese person (more in the lines of a lebanese male teenager) who use that kind of talk "fully sick bro" etc etc

[Jayne]

hmm..I am going to have to see if I can go find that ring tone and hear it.

[Bev]

Jayne, apparently he's quite well known in Europe, UK and Australia. I saw a clip of him playing soccer on tv, that's the only reason I'd ever heard of him.

Thanks Deb!

[MrsPeacefrog]

He started with the ring tone then they actually released a song with him in it. They remixed the Bevery Hills Cop theme song with him in it! It's excruciating!

[MrsPeacefrog]

People actually pay money to have him on there ringtones, like $5 a pop! :loser:

[Jayne]

wow..I am so glad we can have tones for Free..Well my DH can. His phone is awesome!

[MrsPeacefrog]

You can get free tones here too. It's just this crazy frog thing is a marketing ploy for people to spend money on him :puke: Not only is he annoying but he is expensive, and when I hear someone with the ringtone I can't help but think SUCKER!

Now this thread has progressed to ring tone talk! :crazy:

[Jayne]

It is just like women to take a conversation all over the place. I am sure we will come back to the topic at hand at some point

[Bridget]

Jeez this has taken me forever. :disbelief

Deb, this is for you. Such humiliation is not to be believed.

http://www.dropshots.com/day.php?userid=22346&cdate=20061128

[Jayne]

OMG...that is so funny Bridget!!! This is fun!

[Nichole]

:lol: You sound like Robin Leach, Bridget. :lol: (psst, I made a thread for our voices)

I know that frog. My dad tivoed it once to show to Jackson and now Jackson sings that damn song all the time. He sings "doo doo [/bev hills cop theme music] bay bay!" every time he sees the frog.

[MrsPeacefrog]

OH FUCK ME BRIDGET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol2:

THAT IS FARKIN hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!

The kids are killing themselves laughing and they are saying "shrimp on the barbie" HAHAHAHA

[Jayne]

Ok..your reaction to Bridget is even funnier Deb!

[Bridget]

Robin Leach. :lol2: Perfect. :lol:

[MrsPeacefrog]

Okay, should I try and record an American accent? what should I say?

[Jayne]

I don't know that there is something American you should say but it would be interesting to hear how you would try to speak with an American accent.

[Bridget]

How about:

-I'm more nervous that a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs!

or

-We're gonna whoop yer hides real good.

:lol:

[Jayne]

Ohhh...those are some great redneck sayings Bridget!

[Bridget]

She could also say, "I'm going to see a man about a dog." or "That smell could knock a buzzard off a gutwagon."

[Jayne]

how about Get R Done :lol:

[MrsPeacefrog]

Ok, I did it and I sound like a dead set IDIOT!

I did the line from the Simpsons "I wash myself with a rag on a stick"

It's uploading now

[stass]

:lol:@ I wash myself with a rag on a stick.

[stass]

:tapfoot: c'mon Deb where is it?

[MrsPeacefrog]

Ok, this is hella embarassing but what the heck!

http://www.dropshots.com/day.php?userid=10587&cdate=20061129&ctime=135200

[Bridget]

:spit:

I can honestly, honestly say, and with ALL due love and affection, that that was the WORST American accent ever. And totally flipping hilarious.

[Bridget]

OK if Deb doesn't earn like 500 bonus points for that shit then something ain't right.

Stick = pronounced in three syllables by Deb.

:lol2:

[stass]

:rotflmao:

[MrsPeacefrog]

:lol2:

Man I am cracking myself up, that isn't a good sign!!

[MrsPeacefrog]

okay and now I have had my fun I have to get back to cleaning.

:lol:

[Michele]

OMG, now I'm dying at Deb's redneck accent!

Scott just yelled "your online community has taken a turn for the weird..."

I think he's enjoying listening though :lol:

[Sandy]

Oh My Freakin Gawd thisisthemosthilariousthread!!! It has fully been :hijacked: in the most spectacular way! I am killin myself!!!!:lol2: :lol: :toofunny: :spit: :laughat: :hehe:

Waiting impatiently for the next installment!!! :popcorn:

P.S. Deb, I don't know what I expected you to sound like, but I didn't expect you to sound like such a freakin lady! :lol2: :kiss: Bridget, you sounded exactly as I expected you to sound!

[Michele]

Yeah, Deb you sound so proper...even when doing your Lisa Simpson impression...

[~Deborah~]

I love hearing Deb's voice!

[Clare]

Deb = proper? :lol2: Someone's still smoking that crack around here....

[Bridget]

Deb = proper? :lol2: Someone's still smoking that crack around here....http://www.ganjatalk.com/forum/images/smilies/pipe.gif

[MrsPeacefrog]

HEY!!! wait a minute! I leave for a few minutes and I come back to this! :lol2:

[MrsPeacefrog]

BTW I have to tell Tony that you gals think I sound like a lady! that will wipe his "ockafied" comment right out of his mouth :lol2:

[~Deborah~]

BTW I have to tell Tony that you gals think I sound like a lady! that will wipe his "ockafied" comment right out of his mouth :lol2:

:spit: A lady...too funny

[Sandy]

Oh my. Between this thread, the worst gift ever received thread, and the lets hear how you sound thread, this has been an extremely amusing evening. I hate to do it, but I have got to go to bed. Much love to my funny home girls. :akiss: thanks for the entertainment!

[Jayne]

This is all just to good. I love how this thread has gone!

[MrsPeacefrog]

:lol: I guess we can officially say that we have obviously run out of good topics for our convo's to digress to this! :shuffle: :lol2:

[pam]

Scott just yelled "your online community has taken a turn for the weird..."


He is so right :lol:

This is so hilarious! I got out my piece of crap laptop so I could hear everyone & I'm so glad I did!

[Bridget]

:lol: I guess we can officially say that we have obviously run out of good topics for our convo's to digress to this! :shuffle: :lol2:
I was taking Caleb to potty earlier (ugh TMI? :lol: ) and was thinking about this very subject. SOOOO many threads this month. What's left we haven't hashed out yet?

:lol:

[MrsPeacefrog]

Ask that question in about 5 years time :giggle:

[Mary DK]

:spit::lol2: :rotflmao: :laughat:
Oh man, I had to stop laughing outloud b/c I was afraid I was gonna wake up the kids.

Deb & Bridget... y'all are freaking geniuses!! Y'all should put an act together and charge for entertainment!! I know I would definitely pay for a good laugh after a freaking long day... oh wait a minute, what am I stupid?? (please don't answer that!!) Why am I telling y'all to charge when right now I can get the entertainment for free!!! :heee:

Awesome thread! :aok:

[MrsPeacefrog]

WOW! I have been called a Lady & a genius in the same thread! :woa: Me likey! :heee:

Glad we could entertain you, Mary :awink:

[Nadine]

[schwanda]

I'm sorry I had to go to bed last night and miss all the fun!!!

Amanda

[MrsPeacefrog]

I am sorry too!

I just read back on it, and killed myself laughing again! what a fun day today was!
