Topic: Albannach Cracker Club

[So. Or. Miniatures]

@ KitKat  OMG, ROFL about that last post in Jamesie's new tattoo, welcome to the "cracker club"

So I was going to post the thrilling things that had happened to me today in the jokes, but I will post it here instead.
 
Please have a seat before reading, we are not responsible for injury due to falling down laughing at the dumb blonde.
This is a true and detailed post of my day.
So I found and tried to contact with my birth father last night, but have yet to hear back. So I didn't get much sleep last night, about 4 hours. So I have stayed up today and wanted to take Tylenol PM to be sure and sleep tonight. Only no one can find the Tylenol PM. Last I saw it, it was on the kitchen counter. Last my husband saw it, it was on the bathroom counter. So after hunting, we stormed our daughters room. Found my pens, spoons, bowls, trash, soda cans, and other awful stuff. We were upset with her, confused about the Tylenol. We got her room looking better and gave up on the pills. I was about to get water from the fridge and thought " I wonder if we put the Tylenol PM in there" now don't ask me why we would do that, I didn't think that far. Yep, it was in on the butter shelf, right next to the antibiotics I have been taking cause one of the cats bit me.

  Well, I guess I won't have to call the police and report a break in as that was the only possibility left. That someone had broken in and stolen the Tylenol PM, left the camera, tv's, comp. etc. Just the Tylenol PM. Good thing, cause I can't find the eleven button on the phone.
Hope everyone else had a good day. We are just having too much fun.

As I was reading in bed last night (Outlander of course!) I flipped through the channels for some noise.  Didn't take me long to stumble across the greatest Scottish accent in the world, Mr. Sean Connery!  It was The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, not one of his better movies, but I find it impossible to pass up anything that he is in.  So I had Sean in my ears and Jamie in my hands.  Only thing missing was Jamesie and the Keebler Elves next to me...lol!!!

[Morven]

    Jamesie and the Keebler elves........that's just bizarre..... I take it everyone in the Cracker Club is a little cracked (please pardon the pun) 

[KitKat]

Ok, that DID come off sounding a little cracked...lol.  The Keebler Elves were the only cracker reference I could come up with.  And yes, we in the cracker club ARE a bit cracked...lol.

[annandale]

Pertaining to strange items found in the refrigerator but might be more suitable for another thread....I acquired a little rescue cat from the humane society a few years ago to keep my Siamese company. She's a beautiful, muted calico but when I brought her home she was a tiny little fuzzball who possessed amazing speed but no brakes. She would whiz around the house and run into what ever object happened to be in her way. Hence, her name...Whizbang   Anyway, one day I couldn't find her. I knew she was in the house because my cats are housecats and she had just been in the kitchen watching me prepare dinner. I looked everywhere and just when I was getting frantic, I heard a faint meow, meow, meow. I went back to the kitchen where I had last seen her and began opening cabinets. No kitten! I could hear her so I listened even more carefully......then I opened the refrigerator door. She was one cold and very angry little Whizbang    

My Siamese is named Snicklefritz. My very Irish grandfather used to call my brothers that name and I thought it was cute. I researched and found that Snicklefritz is an old German slang word for active, young boy which seemed extremely appropriate for this particular cat. After naming him along with 2 other names and having his papers completed, I researched a bit more and found out that Snicklefritz is also slang for a little boys private parts!!!

KitKat -  Outlander books are awesome, I have to reread them all when a new one comes out. I also agree with you on Sean Connery movies. 
Not to sure about the Keebler elves though? That would fit more with cookies in my mind, but it was in your head, so who am I to quibble. 
Sounds like you had sweet dreams. 
Jamesie is a very good looking man, but a young one. Still, those eye's
I am really not sure how these things happen to me. I know we all do something that makes no sense at one time or another. I think it is having a husband that can make me laugh with just a look. He does it every time I have one of those ( hope no one is watching) moments. Even when I say something that makes no sense, he knows what I am trying to say, only we get to laughing so hard that I can't ever get out the correct statement.

Morven - I think you may be correct. KitKat came up with that one (cracker club) and I just ran with it. I liked your pun though.    Lately though, I feel more like I'd be a better fit for the falling to pieces club. I wonder if they did a lobotomy when they did my hip.
Still trying to rebuild the muscles. I was attempting to skip last night, guess I was not doing well. My son went to his room, my daughter had pepsi coming out of her nose and my husband turned red and sat down rather fast.    Dang, I was really trying hard to be able to do normal movements. This is the encouragement I get around here.    Hubby says it looked like this    .

Annandale- Very funny about the cat, at least she went in on her own. We still don't know how the Tylenol got in. Love the names you gave your cats. Our kids named ours.
 Our cat, Delilah has this thing for running water. She was trying to get into the washing machine, I picked her up and put the lid down, only her foot was still there. I then set her on the lid, which put weight on her foot, and bob's your uncle, she bit me. Took me a second to realize she was biting me. She is such a loving cat, it didn't register.
So fearing infection with a new hip, I got to the DR. and they gave me antibiotics. The pharmacy tried to give me pills that were huge, I swear I have given sulfur tabs smaller than that to calves. So they changed it to liquid, which has to go in the fridge. Nasty stuff, I think they forgot to put any flavoring in it.

Never a dull moment here.

[KitKat]

Ah, Jamesie may be young to you, but he is my age...so, Jamesie, bring those eyes and those crackers to Black Mountain in June!!!!

[annandale]

Define 'Cracker', please...

[So. Or. Miniatures]

Crackers?
 Read the "Jamesie's new tattoo" posts. It will clear up the whole thing.

Kitkat, I will leave you to explain the crackers. I have promised my daughter that I would behave.
Did it count about the Tylenol in the fridge?
I keep telling her, it could be worse. HA HA, just wait till she brings home boyfriends. Now I have scared myself, OMG boyfriends for my little baby.

[Valkyrie73]

Define 'Cracker', please...

In the background..."Mum, what *are* you laughing at?!" 

Hmm...is it possible to be a founding member if I'm still sure I couldn't abide the crumbs?    Treasurer, perhaps    or better yet..PR 

From what little I've seen of him, I'd be willing to bet he'd be embarrassed if he read this.  Hopefully, he has a vast sense of humor 

[KitKat]

Oh, he seems to be amiable enough.  I'd love to know if he has been reading the goings-on of his female admirers.  Jamesie, if you read these, please just pop in with a yay or nay.

R*I*O, I don't think I need to explain the crackers.  A quick read of the thread will make all clear...lol.  And yes, I think the Tylenol in the fridge would suffice.  I myself have caught myself trying to put the milk in the pantry and bleach in the freezer.  I just chalk that up to being a busy mom.

Cheryl, you can definitely be PR, especially since you've met him.  Your job at Black Mountain will be to get me introduced and be my official photographer.   

[Valkyrie73]

, for the second time tonight <smacks forehead, rolls eyes and groans> Yes, he was nice enough to pose for a picture

I'd bet getting a pic with him can be arranged as he's ever the gentleman 

[annandale]

When he looks rested, introduce yourself. He's very obliging, they all are.  As Jacquie said, "There's no need for shyness here!"

[So. Or. Miniatures]

Ok, Jamesie, if you are reading these posts. Please keep in mind that it all started with Sean Connery's eye's. Yours are very nice also. We took poor KitKat's words and ran with it.
OMG I will never be able to look him in the eye now. 
HA ha, my husband was reading this as I type it, he says" oh, it's about the cracker toss." 
Like I said, they are going to get security and not allow me in the gate.
The funny think is, my daughter turned red at the store when I asked her to get some crackers.
I think my husband would like me to throw crackers at him. If he keeps laughing at my attempts to skip and run. I just might throw something at him.

[KitKat]

Oh, isn't he just the most adorable thing you've ever seen in a kilt?  I really can't wait until WNC!
When I do get to meet him, I'm going to be about 50 shades of red regardless of whether he reads these posts or not.  If he does, can you imagine our meeting?
"Hi Jamesie, my name is Catherine, I'm KitKat on the Nach message board."
"Oh, so you're the crazy cracker lady!  Thank you for not putting me eye out with a saltine!"

Ah, Jamesie may be young to you, but he is my age...so, Jamesie, bring those eyes and those crackers to Black Mountain in June!!!!

I truly hope they have a good sense of humor, or we are going to be tossed off this forum faster than a cat can run into a fridge.
Hope they don't cancel the Black Mountain venue.
Maybe we can buy them off with some beer.

Or a Keebler Elf!

[Valkyrie73]

Cat, I know I said I'd bring the wine for us girls, but when we do dinner next week I'm sooo bringing you one of those hostess gift packs with the *deluxe* crackers 

[KitKat]

ROFL!!!!!!!!
OMG!!!  I am dying!  I haven't laughed like that in forever!!!!

[KitKat]

My son now officially thinks we are nuts!!!   

[So. Or. Miniatures]

ROFL!!! Tears of laughter. Thanks again, to my husband for bringing to my attention.
He says he can see it now, Jamesie will ask "Whoo in the crowd is a member of the cracker club" No one will need to raise their hands, as we will all be beet red and rolling on the ground in tears of laughter.

You know, I am beginning to feel bad for the poor guy.

 Jamesie, we truly aren't poking fun at you. Please don't be offended!

KitKat, we can blame my husband. It is his bad influence that has caused my poor brain to rot. I used to be such a nice young lady. He is always pulling my leg, or laughing at the silly things I do. That man didn't even have the kindness to tell me about cows and how they get their feet trimmed.
OK, I am going to embarrass myself so we can ease off poor Jamesie.
I was raised in a very rich neighborhood in Southern Calif. I knew about horses, and surfing. When we moved up here, we bought some cattle to raise for our freezer.
I learned about bottle feeding drop calves, etc. Then we got a little heifer to breed our own cattle instead of going to the coast to get them. So knowing about horses, I went right to work and taught the heifer to walk nice in a halter and to be brushed. I even taught her to let us pick up her feet. Now this takes a lot of work, they don't like this at all, but I kept at it. I could even load her into a horse trailer and tie her to a hitching post.
That whole time, my husband was laughing at me. He just loved to tell everyone what I had done. Then a like a year later he told me that you put the cow in a squeeze shoot and tip it up to trim their hoofs. OMG I was so mad at him.
Only I did get even. When the cow ( sugarbabe) was going on 7 years old we took her to the auction. I got 600.00 for her( that is a lot for an old cow). I didn't even put her in the auction. This lady was told that we had a nice tame cow in the horse trailer. She didn't believe it. Yep a friend told her, she leads and will just walk right into yours if you want to buy her. This lady then said, ok if you can load her like that I will give you 600.00 cash. So I unloaded the cow and then loaded her into the ladies trailer with out a lick of trouble.
HA HA HA, my husband was totally shocked when I came home with that much money for an old cow.
 
So Jamesie, it could be so much worse.

And I won't even go into the pig's. That was almost as bad.

[So. Or. Miniatures]

My son now officially thinks we are nuts!!!   

So does my son. My daughter who is 14 said she will bolt if there are any crackers at the Calif venue. I told her that she can't bolt, with out the nuts. Another one going on here at home.

[KitKat]

!!!  Beet red my foot!  If he asks if there are any members of the cracker club in the audience, I'm gonna jump up and down and yell, "FOUNDING MEMBER!!!!"  

[So. Or. Miniatures]

I don't think I could keep a straight face.
KitKat, I so wish you would come to the Pleasanton venue. You are a blast! I would love to meet all of you guy's. I am stuck out here in the West, with only one shot at seeing the Nach play. I hope there are some really fun fans in Sept.

Maybe you should bring those little oyster ones that you put in soup. Those seem like a much softer cracker. Don't want anyone hurt.
Better yet, get a t-shirt made that says

" Cracker Club"
I used to have a tee that said, "my next husband would be normal". Don't think I got that down too well.

, my boys are still fairly young so we have about 3 varieties of Goldfish in the house. They're not dangerous in the least.  Although as crumbs they'd look like confetti 

And your husband sounds like a treasure; who wants normal?      I'd love to grab Cat and come to the Sept. gig just to have fun with you ladies, but alas I'm pretty sure my trip card is getting rather full for the year as it is.  My friends and family in Canada are adament that I'm to come this year and I'm going to Scotland just as soon as I figure out when (and lay out my trip ).  If she's not already going maybe Darkreader will consider it?  She's in CA and an awesome person.
