Ah well - let me pour you a glass of cold water. Still sweltering here, and I need to counteract the champers.. grin. The moon is full too, and I just evicted a large huntsman spider who'd worked very hard to get up to my third floor balcony. At least I think he was a huntsman.

OMG PAM:wah:

That's one big spider:D I'd be scared to death if I saw him in my home:o

Yay, Hufflepuff colours! An intelligent horse.

Also, I am deeply embarrassed by the result...

(AussiePam lowers her eyes and tries to look totally innocent, absolutely sincere and deeply embarrassed)

Really - I am not now, nor ever have been a member of any insider trading organisation. Nor are the jockeys that allegedly are seen lurking in my garden whispering anything other than sweet nothings in my blushing ears....

The fact I won my own sweep is purely and completely coincidental :sneaky:

:sneaky: :sneaky: :sneaky: :sneaky: :sneaky:

FIX!!! FIX!!! FIX!!!

Good game Pammie! I enjoyed it!

A celebratory glass for the ladies. :-6

America's Cup next?

AussiePam · Post by **AussiePam** » Tue Nov 03, 2009 12:35 pm

No idea what NUO means, Oscar. But you had Ista Kareem - a Turkish hossie???

NUO - No Ulterior Opening?

Kathy - glad you enjoyed the race. Reckon I outran Shocking when I saw Mr Spider looking at me... grin.. Then I swiped him very gently and he sailed, intact, down into the shrubbery below where I am happy for him to continue living his arachnoid life.

Rapunzel - an FG Quidditch match????? I mean after all, some of us are quite skilled on broomsticks....

As fer race fixing... Moi????????? NEVER !!!!

:sneaky:

Pam pours another glass of champers and raises her class to the FG Ladies

ok now I want to know who all you lucky winners are going to pick

AussiePam · Post by **AussiePam** » Tue Nov 03, 2009 1:10 pm

I'm working on it Kaylene.

I mentally interviewed

Nomad - but am afraid of lutefisk or worse

Clodders - I nearly chose and then saw what was in his fridge on another thread and wish to live

Hoppy - chucked a hunk of dead cow on his plate - which lacks a certain something of elegance and romance.

It's a tough one!!!

Any suggestions?

Awwww. (hopefully) It's an experience you'll never forget! :yh_drool

What?!? The race is over? And I dug my Kentucky Derby hat out for nothing? Ah, well, is there any champers left?

Well that's really good to know Pammie sweetie.

And, of course, I believe every word you say.

:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl

A Quidditch match would be fun. It's actually becoming an incredibly popular sport, oddly enough.

:wah:

Someone had a siggy about witches getting a better grip without panties, which I think is extremely good advice and would surely be properly appreciated by the onlookers if it were to be a very windy day. :sneaky::wah::wah::wah:

Had I won (:sneaky: ) (;):wah: ) I would have chosen Mikeinie as he seems like a very civilised chap, he's very well travelled and he takes fabulous photos, both of which which would make wonderful topics for dinner conversation.

You may borrow him if you wish. :sneaky:

;):D

AussiePam · Post by **AussiePam** » Tue Nov 03, 2009 8:07 pm

Mikeine's an Irishman isn't he???? My mother warned me that they're a dangerous lot. Silver tongued, luring poor innocent girls with their foin words and shamrock smoils. I wonder if he can fix salmon, then beef and guinness pie, colcannon... whiskey pudding... Nar but I'd hafta drink tea, wouldn't I - and that's an abomination!!!!

But thankyou Rapunzel for your very kind offer.

Witches on broomsticks don't wear undies??? Really... I didn't know that!! You really do live and learn.

Zapata - the actual race lasted about 3 minutes. Lots of fuss. You get all worked up, all dressed and then it's over... :sneaky: Um...

(or undressed)

But there's a few bottles of Bolly left.. Let me fill your glass.

Clodders - You're very persuasive... I think Kathy suggested the Restaurant at the End of the Universe.. I believe they do fantastic spaced out lobster. They probably deliver...

What is your favorite style of Tequila?

KSnyder's offering tequila???? COOL !!!!

Well it nearly did!! The idea of it, anyway. Worms - I don't eat.

Oooo I just saw this. I like Mezcal shooters the best. Mezcal has a better flavor than regular tequila. But after a few, ya can't tell the difference.

And Pam, my Tequila Dancing Worms Hat is spectacular if I do say so, myself. I had a photo someplace but who knows where that might be?

Do you like 1800 at all?

ZAP · Post by **ZAP** » Wed Nov 04, 2009 5:34 pm

I don't think so. It doesn't ring a bell but it's possible. It's possible. What is it? Is it like White Lightnin'?

Thanks for posting that. Sounds good. That site tells how to do shooters too, although when I was in Oaxaca, they taught me to moisten the part of your hand between the thumb & index finger,(is that the "Mound of Venus"? salt it and squeeze the lime juice into your mouth & then the Mezcal & then the salt & then the lime juice . . .and I forgot the tequila. Let's . . .hic . . . start over.
