Anonymously yours

August 18th, 2008 by Shauna

"It looks as if your zipper is down.” “Please consider buttoning up your blouse a little more.”

If a co-worker told you that to your face, would you be embarrassed? Would you prefer to have gotten back to your desk to see an anonymous message pop up instead?

“You seem to have over-applied your make-up today.” “We can see when you are surfing the Internet to non-work related sites.”

That’s the thought behind NiceCritic.com, which allows you to politely and secretly get your message across. And of course, there are some critics of NiceCritic’s pre-written messages.

Meet NiceCritic: Bearer of the unpleasant truth
By Laura Yao
The Washington Post

A couple of months ago, my friend was walking down the street when a raggedly dressed man coming toward her stopped, circled around and tapped her on the shoulder.

“Yes?” she inquired.

“You got a big butt and an ugly face!” he said. Message delivered, he turned and wandered off.

Unlike Raggedy Man, many of us are reluctant to offer criticism face to face. So for those of us who don’t have the “courage” to personally warn neighbors and co-workers of their flaws, there’s NiceCritic.com.

NiceCritic has a cache of pre-written messages that can be sent to your target with the click of a mouse. And, good news for those who are judgmental but timid — it’s anonymous. Messages are sorted into categories such as “Personal Hygiene” and “Neighborly Suggestion.” There’s also an “Anonymous Praise” category. (The site only addresses problems with quick fixes, though — like stained pants or bad breath — so issues of butt size and attractiveness will still have to be dealt with in person.)

The messages are courteous — in the language a British butler would use, the site’s founder Erik Riesenberg says — to dull the embarrassment that the recipient no doubt feels.

Such as: “Please do not remove your shoes. Your feet tend to give off an aroma.”

And: “Please refrain from slapping people’s buttocks.”

Riesenberg, a 38-year-old from Weehawken, N.J., was inspired when a friend told him, “You could really use a trim of the nose hair.” The encounter left the woman more embarrassed than he was. “I had this idea that there’s got to be a better way to facilitate that kind of communication,” Riesenberg says.

But on the Internet, any dialogue can quickly sour. Despite Riesenberg’s good intentions, what he’s created is, in essence, a stockpile of politely worded insults. As Peter Post — grandson of the great Emily — puts it, “How would you feel if you got one of these in your inbox?”

One academic study has shown that people correctly interpret the intended tone of an e-mail only about 50 percent of the time.

Justin Kruger, a professor of marketing at New York University who co-authored the study in 2006, says NiceCritic is a bit like teasing. “Good intentions are often much less obvious to the other person than the teaser thinks,” Kruger says. “Even well-meaning individuals can be expected to have their well-meaning attempts go awry.”

Teasing can also be passive-aggressive behavior. The polite tone of NiceCritic, Kruger says, “makes us feel better but doesn’t exonerate negative content as much as the people on the other end think it ought to.”

Riesenberg thinks that not allowing readers to compose their own messages will prevent flaming. “There have been other sites like this but that let you write in messages,” Riesenberg says. “It usually turns into something negative; people use vulgarity or profanity.”

Still, there’s one thing that can be said for taking the easy way out, and that thing is: People love it. Launched in early July, NiceCritic has drawn more than 100,000 visitors. Riesenberg estimates that about 80 percent of them actually send messages.

-----

Would you send any of those messages using NiceCritic? I did a test. This is what the recipient would receive:

Dear shauna,
An anonymous visitor stopped by NiceCritic.com and selected the following message for you:
(message here)
NiceCritic.com

How do you handle awkward moments at work: Food between someone’s teeth, something hanging out of someone’s nose, undergarments peeking out and the like?

In terms of hygiene issues, do you rather just always avoid the obvious and hope someone else says something?

Many of the messages on NiceCritic are, as the story says, in a language that a British butler would use. Can you think of a more local way to politely get your point across?

-----

And speaking of anonymity, another Bee Bee Dee was kind enough to send some sweets to the office for me. Strawberry shortcake and a lemon bar from Kakaako Kitchen plus a tray of manju from Nisshodo Mochiya. Wow, all my favorite desserts! Ain’t I just getting lucky? Here are the pictures... I wonder how many calories these all add up to. Oh boy!

Strawberry shortcake with lots of whip cream. I loved the sponge cake part the best!

dsc00859.jpg

The best lemon bar I've had so far! It's perfectly tart and topped with powdered sugar.

dsc00864.jpg

Ooh, another of my favorites! Manju with azuki beans. So I finally got the manju!

    1st


  2. Ukuhead:

    I tend to be on the "overly honest" side, so I usually don't have a problem with being the bearer of unpleasant truths. The way I figure, if I have something hanging from my nose, I'd want someone to tell me. Better than walking around all day like that. Right?


  3. Ukuhead:

    Better watch all those desserts or you'll end up with a big butt


  4. Ukuhead:

    Where's everyone tonight? :sad:


  5. book2:

    Ukuhead... everybody is sleeping... gotta work you know.
    about the question on hand, I hope somebody tells me that my fly is down,or a booger is hanging out of my nose.... fuud... Nishhodo is one of the places that sells darn good Japanese delights... so does Fujiya------?
    on Waiakamilo....


  6. M:

    Shauna, wow people bring food to you, how you do dat? You must be special.

    If my zipper is down, I would like someone to tell me right away instead of later. What if I'm away from my computer for awhile and can't check email.


  7. Ocean Lover (EXPANDING on QB's post):

    Dear QB,

    Like Ukuhead mentioned, "Please watch your caloric intake. Recent events starting with YNAKU's gift in addition to the latest manju/pastry homage causes the PEEple some concern. We no want your svelte figure looking like one bowling pin". ;-)

    OL


  8. NKHEA:

    I like the rest of the BBD's, just rather have someone tell me straight out, betta dan walking around all day with what eva hanging out or sticking out 8O

    OL - When I look at the QPP's pic look like she may need a few extra pounds......

    Shauna - You da Queen alright ;) ......you get secret admirer 8O 8) .....


  9. Ynaku:

    Sorry It's not me (secret Admirer 8O ) I'm back in Hilo. Sorry gang for starting this trend. It was an honest gesture.

    Oh Queen of da PEEple, leader of da Bee Bee Dees, place share your honey with the rest of the hive.

    BTW nobody told me my collar was crooked in the pics. Was my zipper down? I know I was sweating before I delivered to packages and had to give a little spray, hope I wasn't hauna. You would tell me right?

    Oh Shauna, you look nice today, but the horizontal stripe dress will make you look fuller after eating those goodies. :)


  10. Ukuhead (out of context?):

    Ain’t I just getting lucky?

    Are you? :shock:


  11. JuSaMee:

    i've had a few embarrassing experiences just this year alone where my zipper comes undone on my pants! it's the same pants everytime and you'd think i'd learn by now!! i dunno what it is, i always "lock" the zipper...you know face it downwards...but still!! and lucky me...others notice before i do!! but i've had a couple of people let me know, including a coworker, but as long as they are quiet and respectful about it, that keeps my embarrassement to about a 3 on a scale of 10!! now if the person informing you makes a big joke about it and draws even more attention to it, thats even more embarrassing and i'd probably prefer an email!

    wow QB...thanks for the pictures of all those desserts! suddenly my cereal doesn't seem as satisfying! lol!


  12. Ocean Lover (Afraid of the Possibility):

    NKHEA,

    "OL - When I look at the QPP’s pic look like she may need a few extra pounds……"

    I agree with you. Its just that QB has gotten yummy treats TWICE in a week and she's obviously SHOVING IT in our BBD's. Well, YOU KNOW what I mean.

    Before you know it, eating sweets will BEE an obsession with her and she's gonna change the blog title to "Odds and Ends (leftovers?).......I'll eat it" Her accompanying picture will include her cheeks full of manju and spitting out crumbs.

    I shudder at the thought and image.

    OL


  13. MoOgooGuypAN:

    Wow, the manju and lemon bar looks onolicious. Not a fan of cakes.

    As for that dude that came up with polite remarks, doesn't he have a real job? Who thinks of these things? Well I guess that guy did. I for one try to give subtle hints to the offender by acting out scenes or mentioning something to associte the problem with. I figure, I'll let the person discover their situation by bringing up generalities. Either way, I try to make light of the situation so nobody feels offended, or at least I hope.


  14. Braddah Lance:

    Heh? Wat kine spell you casting fo' get peeps fo' bring you food? And dat was plenny if was fo' jus' you. Wow, you one wicked wahine get dat kine "powah".

    Yeah, I'm jealous..... again. :???:


  15. BC (Is my fly open? I feel a breeze):

    Yes Shauna, we don't want to the sand to settle in your hourglass figure.

    I think I would prefer people to discreetly tell me if I have something hanging out or anything like that. I did have an instance where I was speaking in front of a group of people and at the end a guy came up to me and told me my zipper was down. Talk about make A!!

    On the other hand I would tell another guy if something is out of place but I usually would not tell a girl unless it's really bad like a cow left the barn or something like that.


  16. opso:

    yeah....i wouldn't mind if somebody told me f2f that something is amiss.....and vice versa. but i think i could have some use for that anonymous message thing. heh heh :twisted:

    whoa.....more sweets for the sweet!
    and no....lucks got nothing to do with it. iykwim ;)


  17. honda si boy (got his car back!!!):

    oooo man, that looks good! and from kakaaoko kitchen no less!!! mmmm.


  18. BananaFysh:

    Wow, Queenie, the fan base is making offerings! :)

    That fuud looks guud!
    So the "Sweet Fairy" gonna fess up?

    I would want to be told if I had my zipper down, or if I had "a bat hanging out of the cave." Some shame dat. Distracting too.

    I tell people if they get food in their teeth, or if a wahine has lipstick on their teeth. I'd like to think they appreciate being told, cause I would want to know.

    So, Queenie, is someone going to send you an anonymous email, saying the smell is foul in your cube cause you made too many fut-futs from that manju? ;)


  19. honda si boy (got his car back!!!):

    now that would be ironic if someone used nicecritic to "inform" queenie that uhhhh "get lil' bit more cushion for da pushin'...."

    i gotta agree with the majority of the people here and say that i would also want people to tell me if something was amiss. better to feel that little bit of shame and awkwardness for that one brief moment than to realize later that EVERYONE you encountered that day saw you with your fly down, food stuck in your teeth, toilet paper on your shoe, etc, etc....

    i think opso got devious plans for that anonymous thing. haha. i can see him falsely accusing his next door office mate/co-worker or something. keep making the guy check his teeth or something. hahaha. (kinda like the 21st century version of the point your finger to the guys shirt/chest, ask "what's that?" and when the guy looks down, laugh, tell 'em, "hah! made you look!" and then quickly run your finger up his chest and over his face in a vertical fashion.) uhhh, did anyone do that before or am i really showing my age and "country bumpkin" background?!?!?!


  20. honda si boy (got his car back!!!):

    oops, sorry for the multiple posts but i also just thought that perhaps queen bee is being devious and sending all these treats to herself! i mean seriously, for all her OCD and anal retentive behaviors, would she really eat something sent to her "anonymously?" someone could have stuck their fingers in the food!!!!!!! hehe. and then, i also figure, riding on the excitment of the ynaku strawberry mochi plus this latest food she got, she'd get people excited to keep her happy and they would start buying her food IRL. so this way, she now just has to sit back while anklebiters sends her mexican food, BF gets her real-deal maui manju and guri guri, steak from dave and then *perhaps* she gets big island delights party mix from me. hmmmm, i smell something fishy here! but shauna, i'm sure if you were to share all this bountiful food with your drones here, then i'm sure we would all look the other way....hahaha.


  21. Ynaku:

    honda si boy (got his car back!!!): Yeah, your baby's back :)


  22. honda si boy (got his car back!!!):

    ynaku: yuuuuup! i'm a happy camper!


  23. Shauna:

    Good morning!!

    Ukuhead: Man, you were first and you had no one to play around with! :( And thanks for the big-butt warning! Though isn't that why folks like J Lo? ;)

    Ocean Lover (EXPANDING on QB's post): Oh no! The PEEple are concerned!! OK, no more bad sweets for me!! I'll do cardio every day at the gym!! I promise! NO!! The image of a bowling pin is making me distraught!! :(

    NKHEA: But I felt better reading your comment so thank YOU! Pictures can be deceiving though! :(

    Ynaku: Yeah, no wearing horizontal strips and white on the bottom. I'll wear black and vertical stripes all week! And you were fine when we met you IRL. I promise...

    book2: I think Fujiya is the one near University. They do good catering... I haven't tried it yet but I heard that this peanut butter mochi from Nisshodo is suppose to be good...

    JuSaMee: Sorry your cereal doesn't look as good anymore. But at least you're eating healthier! Now I just got more work to burn it off. :(

    BananaFysh and honda si boy (got his car back!!!): So if I happen to get any anonymous e-mails today, I'll know who it's from...

    opso: idkwym... but as long as you think I'm sweet. :)

    MoOgooGuypAN: Yes, you gotta try the lemon bar! Cookie Corner also makes a variety of them. The lilikoi one is good; it's actually better than the lemon one!

    Braddah Lance: No be jealous! I saved some crumbs for you! ;)

    honda si boy (got his car back!!!): Stop overthinking like a girl! Just kidding! ;) You think this is a ploy for me to get some of this so-called big island delights party mix out of you that you keep raving about? plus don't they sell it at longs anyway? First I get accused of being The Dork Knight, then you allege I send myself anonymous sweets. What next? I'm gonna rig the honey/chocolate wrestling tournament with BL? I think an apology is an order. I'll be more forgiving if you get down on your knees! Hah! :)


  24. Shauna:

    M and NKHEA: So would you rather a guy or girl tell you your zipper is down??

    BC (Is my fly open? I feel a breeze): How discreet are you talking? Like someone quietly mumbling under their breath to pull up your zipper? What do you think of guys who tell girls they can see down their shirt? What's an appropriate way to handle that situation?

    Ukuhead: But in your honesty, do you also do it with tact or a sense of humor? Is your comment normally appreciated by the recipient?

    MoOgooGuypAN: What do you mean by acting out scenes? So you bring up all related topics and hope the person catches on? But wouldn't you rather walk away before the situation is "corrected" in front of you?

    JuSaMee: That's the worst when someone needs to draw more attention to the issue. That's just wrong. Yeah, don't you wonder why we torture ourselves by wearing these problem outfits. Whenever I have a long day or know I will be meeting with certain people, I'll make sure to wear a comfortable outfit. But if it's only a short thing I need to go to, I'll wear a top or bottom that needs "adjusting" throughout the day. Unfortunately not all my outfits are a perfect fit. Grr...

    opso: What people would you not tell or want to hear it from? A supervisor or a person you don't know as well?

    BananaFysh: Bat hanging out of the cave?? How is that possible? ;)

    honda si boy (got his car back!!!): Glad you got your car back! Now be careful out there! Regarding your awkward moments, would you want your date to tell you that??

    Ocean Lover (Afraid of the Possibility): Thanks for your concern on the state of my healthiness. :) But you didn't even address this post. Do a dialogue on a potential awkward situation with you and the weirdo!! :)


  25. honda si boy (got his car back!!!):

    shauna: yes, a ploy.....like how girls send themselves flowers and chocolates in front of the boy they like, just like in that movie "clueless" with alicia silverstone. hahaha.

    yeah, i think you can buy that party mix in those tiny itty-bitty bags at longs for some rip-off prices. the original shop back in hilo got waaaay more stuff and goodies. and their cookies are pretty good too. but sure, you can "settle" for the tiny bags at longs...and buy them yourself. hehehe.

    wait, wrestling match? hmmmm. i think all of us are gonna need to take a cold shower. well if you're gonna wrestle, i think you're gonna have to gain some weight so you better get back to sending yourself more sweets!!! don't forget to take pictures of the manapua, waiola ice shave, and wholesale unlimited gift basket you send yourself!!!! :) hehe, just kidding!


  26. munch:

    wow QB you're starting a trend! if you wanna bee a good BEE BEE DEE you better send sweets! haha :-P

    as for that nicecritic thingy...i'm not sure it's very nice! i mean, it's more polite than saying, "eh you stink!" or yelling, "your fly is down i can see your underwear!" from across the office but if i were to get an "anonymous" email like that it would drive me nuts because i'd be trying to figure out who sent it to me :???:
    though at my workplace i would send
    "looks like you tripped & fell face first into your make-up kit this morning :)"
    "please brush your teeth before you speak...it's getting offensive :mrgreen:"
    "please buy looser clothes & non-plastic high heels it will be easier to breathe & walk"
    "please take a shower daily. being in the elevator with you is slightly intolerable. :-D"
    then again that's just me being "observant" without actually saying it out loud :-P


  27. Brother Love:

    i would tell the guy "eh brah ya left da barn door open" then make joke "keep da bull in da coral" lol.
    if it was a woman i definitely wouldnt say nothing and maybe just enjoy the view. then when she leaves make a joke to the guy next to me about it lol.


  28. honda si boy (got his car back!!!):

    hmmm, you should probably stop using clothes that don't belong to you. hehe. ;)

    as far as having a date tell me about an awkward moment, i think i would. that would show that she's comfortable with me and herself. if you were on a date with someone fairly new, would you tell him if his fly was down (what are you looking down there in the first place???!?!?!) or if he had a booger hanging out of his nose or if he had a small piece of strawberry mochi stuck to the side of his teeth?


  29. M:

    Shauna wrote: so you rather a guy or girl tell you your zipper is down?

    It wouldn't matter but if it was a girl, I would say I'm having trouble with my zipper, could you give me a hand?


  30. HNL2LAS:

    OH WOW!! More sweets! I so jealous! hehe...

    QB, YEEESSSHHH... like you need to worry about the calories.....
    Ocean Lover: OK, no more bad sweets for me!! I’ll do cardio every day at the gym!! I promise! NO!! The image of a bowling pin is making me distraught!!------girl, just enjoy the stuff, why panic, so small you!
    NKHEA: Pictures can be deceiving though!-------but pictures make you 10lbs heavier, so you must be anorexic!!!! DANG!! so FO' REAL, eat up and no think about da calories!!

    Now me on the other hand...... bahahha...Wow I better stop eating food AT ALL! heheh

    Bat hanging outta the Cave= booger hanging from the nose right? I would want someone to tell me, but as discreetly as possible. Anything on my face, stuff hanging out or whatever, just no make a scene about it, and I'll be okay.... yah.. a few seconds of embarassment vs. walking around all day and no one tells you, but laughs instead??? I can deal with a few seconds...


  31. hanapaa (checked my zipper):

    I would like to be told as soon as possible (wondering how long whatever faux pas had occurred and more shame thinking you went all day like that) and as discretely as possible (no need to broadcast if not necessary). I don't much care about the vehicle used to convey the info.
    As for personal hygiene issues, I've had to "counsel" subordinates on several occasions throughout my carreer. Not the most pleasant of duties, but may be health related.
    @honda si boy (got his car back!!!): Glad to hear that your baby is back. I can relate. Didja take a long drive to check how she runs then a slow detailing session to chck out the paint?
    @Shauna: My fave dessert is chocolate dream cake. I'm ono for som now but restrict myself to one slice. You want the rest?


  32. honda si boy (got his car back!!!):

    heeeey, i just remembered, actually long time ago one of my friends was wearing this dress and i guess she wasn't wearing a bra cause you could see the areola peeking through over the top. was pretty hard not to stare and i wanted to tell her but then i figure would have been pretty embarassing and then maye she would be wondering why i was looking over there huh? so i tried moving around so she would have to shift her body to keep facing me but that didn't work so well. i ended up not telling her and for the rest of the conversation, had to try real hard to keep eye contact. (which is what you're supposed to do when talking to someone, right?) hahaha.


  33. hanapaa (cannot see down my shirt, but who cares):

    BC (Is my fly open? I feel a breeze): How discreet are you talking? Like someone quietly mumbling under their breath to pull up your zipper? What do you think of guys who tell girls they can see down their shirt? What’s an appropriate way to handle that situation?

    Depends if recreational or professional situation. If recreational, I assume that the girl/woman knew that the cut on her top was provocative or she planned to go sans bra. I may not compliment her f2f but admire from afar. On the other hand, if in a professional atmosphere (provided that the profession does not call for provocative appearance) I would ask a subordinate to exercise more discretion in future and/or send her home to change/adjust garments depending how much of an eyefull she was displaying.


  34. NKHEA:

    Shauna - Yeah I rather they just tell me.

    I went surfing one day, one of the girls came paddling by and sat up waving hi with one of her u-no-whats hanging out 8O I didn't know what to say so just said hi back and paddled on and told one of the other guy's what just happened, he's good with all the girls so he just went up to her and told her, your thingy is poking out :oops: :lol:


  35. honda si boy (got his car back!!!):

    hanapaa: exactly! you must be a car buff cause that's exactly what i did! hahaha. so far so good. 90 days before i can polish the repainted side though.

    "Ah..........okay" - Weirdo

    "Please........if you're gonna make a ROTTEN TAKUAN FUT......at least have the courtesy.........the DECENCY.......to tell me beforehand so that I can GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE! I'm brushing my teeth over here and I almost puked out my lunch" - OL

    "Ah.........what if you're NOT BRUSHING YOUR TEETH? Do I still have to tell you I'm gonna fart?" - Weirdo

    "Are you an IDIOT?.........ANYTIME you need to fart and someone else is in the room, you need to GET THEIR PERMISSION first before you "release the pressure".........its THE LAW.........the NEXT TIME that happens.....you're going to jail and meet your new boyfriend BUBBA" - OL

  37. munch (ROTFL @ OL's imaginary conversation):

    aiyaaaaah OL!! ehh hard to laugh inwardly you know LOL :-P


  38. Ocean Lover (Just verified...........GOD has a sense of humor):

    PEEple,

    This is the "HONEST TO GOD" truth. I just came back from the bathroom. I was sitting on the helm chair, thinking what a "waste of a good lunch not an hour old" ;-) when WHO should come in to the MIDDLE STALL? Yes................WEIRDO. I know it was WEIRDO as he wears these grundy pair of NIKE shoes.

    I sat perfectly still.......even made myself "invisible" so as not to draw his attention. I sneak a peek at the bottom of the stall and he's facing the bowl.........a definite #1 in the making. I start doing these QB snorts thinking "WHAT ARE THE #$@%$ ODDS? (and Ends) that I just mention this guy and now he's next to me taking a piss.......but I digress.

    So (still invisible) and waiting for him to flush (so I can)..........he takes like FOREVER to pee. I wondered if "Mr. Ed" was next to me........for you young 'uns "Mr. Ed's" a horse.......a talking horse.......white and he lived in the barn next to this house. Was a weekly television show in the 1960's? But I digress (again)........

    So anyways, he flushes.....I flush. I'm getting ready to leave when I notice that now his feet are facing the front of the stall but he's not making any noise. I see his pants drop and the WEIRDO's now decided to do a #2??????????

    WHO goes into the bathroom, intent on doing a #1......and then after FINISHING HIS #1 decides to #2??????? :roll: "Ah......I'm done pissing..........(sh_t.........since I'm IN HERE I may as well "take a sh_t") :roll:

    Needless to say I GOT THE HELL OUTTA THERE............washed my hands AND brushed my teeth........all the while "snorting" inside thinking that GOD really has a sense of humor as his TIMING to send WEIRDO into the bathroom while I was there right after my post was IMPECCABLE!

    Now if I can only STOP the SNORTING.............

    OL


  39. BC (The breeze is gone?!?):

    What about from a girl's perspective? Would you gals want a guy to tell you that they can see down your shirt? What would be the proper way to say it? I had the same kind of bikini experience with a friend of mine. She came out of the water at the beach and one of her opihis was poking out. I didn't know how to tell her so I went into the water. She must have discovered it because it was back in when I came out.


  40. hanapaa (spit coffee on my keyboard):

    OL: You crack me up! Ever considered becoming a writer or writing professionally? Too bad Leno quit. You could have joined his team or writers.


  41. BananaFysh:

    @OL - I told Weirdo to go bathroom after I saw your post, since we're tight and all. ;)

    I suggested that he take in a bottle of water, and pour it into the toilet, and then go #2. :razz:

    But wait - how do you know that I'm not Weirdo? ;)

    :lol:


  42. BananaFysh:

    Oh, tomorrow I go tell him to do a "split stream" when he #1, and get some in your stall, but eat some asparagus first.

    muahahahaha!

    ;)


  43. Ukuhead (out of context?):

    Ukuhead: But in your honesty, do you also do it with tact or a sense of humor? Is your comment normally appreciated by the recipient?

    In my personal life, I've been informed that I have no tact. So I guess I do it with a sense of humor. My comments are usually appreciated because, while done with a sense of humor, I deal with the situation quietly.

    In my professional life, I do manage people and have to deal with these situations with tact and decorum. My personal life is a lot more fun. :smile:

    @ NHKEA - If I went surfing and a girl waved at me with her boobie hanging out, I'd handle it like this :shock:

    Shauna - Yeah I rather they just tell me.

    I went surfing one day, one of the girls came paddling by and sat up waving hi with one of her u-no-whats hanging out 8O I didn’t know what to say so just said hi back and paddled on and told one of the other guy’s what just happened, he’s good with all the girls so he just went up to her and told her, your thingy is poking out :oops: :lol:

    ... and the girl replied "and so is yours". :shock:

    Queenie - Fujiya is on Waiakamilo just before Kalani st. The one in university that you're thinking of is Fukuya.


  45. Reido:

    I wouldn't use NiceCritic. Like most of the others, I would tell someone about their zipper, food in the teeth, etc. I would like the same done on my behalf.

    But I don't know about more personal issues like bad breath, b.o. and stuff like that. I usually keep my mouth shut in those situations. And no, I would not use NiceCritic in these examples either. Hopefully, someone with a closer relationship to that person can tell him/her.


  46. BananaFysh:

    Just bus' out the old school one for the zipper:

    "XYZ"

    "eXamine Your Zipper"

    :lol:


  47. Rodney:

    Hey BF, that sounds like a MLCpedia entry!


  48. M:

    If a woman is wearing a top that you could see down it, wouldn't she know that in the first place? Maybe it's done on purpose. If you got it show it.


  49. opso:

    Queenie - people don't just get goodies by luck.....it is because they are appreciated and the gesture is well deserved. :D

    HsiB - are you sure that wahine wasn't showing you the "nip slip" on purpose? ;) ;)
    btw....glad to hear you got your car back. chee hoo!

    OL - i think YOUR "weirdo" and MY "irritating, know-it-all mama's boy" are ready to feel the full power of the NiceCritic. muahahaha! :twisted:


  50. NKHEA:

    Rodney - You know what you maybe right 8O no wonder she was laughing after I said hi :lol: she saw the anaconda coming out :wink: :lol: or should I say baby anaconda :(
    btw wat u doing replying on QPP's


  51. Rodney:

    @NKHEA - I wonder if the girl "allowed for shrinkage".

    As for replying on QPP's, I like be part of the hive too. Plus, Queenie watched my blog for me when I was on vacation so I'm loyal to the Queen Bee. We watch each others back - especially from the crazy yobo blogger :shock:


  52. NKHEA:

    Rodney - da wata was cold ;)

    btw which crazy you talking about the one that ride the moto bike to the wrong pickup stop.....hope he knows were to go wen he gotta pickup da wife :lol:


  53. Rodney:

    @NKHEA - das da guy. He knows where to go for pick up da wife - only thing, da poor buggah pick up da wrong wahine. :lol:


  54. NKHEA:

    Rodney - Rodger dat.....man he must've had one ear full :twisted:

    eh where he stay anyway, he neva reply for awhile.......tink he scad of the QB aka QPP acceptance fo da match :lol:


  55. Masako:

    I was wondering what people think when women have "crab eyes" especially when your somewhere really cold. Is that a bad thing to have?


  56. snow (still laughing at OLs imaginary dialogue w/ WEIRDO... and the appearance of the REAL WEIRDO!):

    i'd be like munch, wracking my brain, trying to figure out "who da heck sent me this e-mail?!" i'd much rather be told in person "uh, what's dat green stuff on your teeth?" than get an e-mail about it, after smiling my biggest smile to 20 people along the way! and, while in person is better, i'd much rather NOT get told like i did by a co-worker. i was in our kitchen, washing my cup, when someone came up behind me (couldn't see who, because he was directly behind me). next thing i knew, i felt a hand go down the back of the neck of my dress! yikes!! while his hand is still down in my dress, he says "oh, your tag is sticking out." HELLO??? i said "uh, thanks" but thought "you couldn't have told me that before sticking your hand down my dress???!!"

    wow, QB, someone is trying the "sweets for the sweet" technique, eh? geez, looks yummy... sigh... i think us two musketeers stay all jealous! (oh yeah... ehh... like HNL2LAS said, we cannot waste good chocolate to throw at BL! mac nuts, too... what about gummies?? i can already see me and HNL2LAS sitting on the side, scarfing down the goodies... and you telling us, "hello! pay attention! i'm wresting here!" and us, answering with our mouths full, "huh? oh... " (chew, chew, gulp!) "yeah! go, queen bee!" :D )


  57. snow:

    masako - hmmm.... lol... i'll be waiting for the answers to this one!


  58. Shauna:

    Everyone cracks me up that I don't know where to start!

    BananaFysh (and Rodney): I love that XYZ lingo! Is that really an old-school thing? And you are bad, making OL's misery worst when it comes to the weirdo!!

    Ocean Lover (Just verified...........GOD has a sense of humor): Ooh, I loved your dialogue and could not believe the ODDS that the guy actually walked in!! First off, glad you snorted QB style while ALSO muttering ODDS and ENDS! I like how you can recognize his shoes! Explain the Mr. Ed thing more. What does that talking horse have to do with this story? And now the topic at hand... Maybe he did #1 first and flushed cause he didn't want to splash while doing #2?? But I don't understand why he didn't just sit down in the first place! Not sure if your desk is close to the bathroom but did you take note of how long he was in there??

    Brother Love: Those are some funny ways to say it! I think making light of the matter can take away some of the awkwardness. Then again, I guess it depends on who it is coming from... Though that's kinda bad if you don't tell a woman and then laugh about it with the next guy. But if you're not doing it in a mean way...

    opso and honda si boy (got his car back!!!): Did you guys see "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" with the part during the speed-dating round and that one girl is hanging out? That cracked me up so much as the guy is trying to avoid looking down there while trying to hint by covering up...

    BC (The breeze is gone?!?): Opihi=nipple?? At least your method worked. Did she look embarrassed after that?

    hanapaa (cannot see down my shirt, but who cares): Good point on the recreational vs. professional atmosphere. Some girls may purposely wear low-cut types for that purpose of getting attention. In terms of telling a worker to dress appropriately, do you usually get excuses or does the person get all defensive?

    M: What if the girl gave you a hand with your zipper and her hair got stuck in it while doing the job? (Remember that 70-year-old lady who didn't cut her hair for 50 years?) It also reminds me of that hilarious scene from "Heartbreakers." I've seen YouTube clips but don't want to post the link here ... it's not exactly family-friendly viewing. ;)


  59. NKHEA:

    Masako - what "crab eyes" :?:

    snow - yeah if she no like the nuts just suck all da chocolate off and save the nuts for who ever lik'um :mrgreen: :lol: just heard a version of this on Perry and Price, Frank Delima told the joke.


  60. M:

    NKHEA, you don't know about "crab eyes"? when you can see the nips, especially when it's cold...


  61. snow:

    nkhea - lol... das' so gross! but, extra tasty, li' dat! wait... i go get one bowl... heh heh...


  62. snow:

    QB & M - now you folks got me thinking of that scene from "there's something about mary" (he didn't have help, but OWWIE!)! but, M, i hope the girl you ask for help is masako!! (lol... but, somehow, i just see her giggling on the side... !! :shock: )


  63. HNL2LAS:

    Snow: Crack me up, I can TOTALLY see us on the sidelines eating like you said!!! yah.... "WHOOO HOOO.... GO Queen BEE.... hmmmm what happened to da rest of da M&M's" while chompin' bahaaha...

    I can do gummies, but eh not the same effect ah?? hehe...


  64. M:

    snow, masako will do more than just zipper me up...LOL


  65. NKHEA:

    M - Rodger dat.....you know me good boy I know look at stuff like that....now who like buy some land on the big island, real cheap and the property getting bigga by the day....

    snow - I like the nuts save'um for me till I come back.....I'll be right back.....you like buy some land on the.......


  66. opso:

    NKHEA - yeah.....like a wet t-shirt contest. :shock:

    snow - ho....dat's sounds kinda uji. unless you know the guy really well.
    and sheesh.....what kind supporter you folks. you and HNL2LAS sposed to be paying attention to Queenie since both of you are her corner women. you need to be applying more honey on her instead of stuffing your faces with goodies. wassamatta you folks! :P

    okay, okay.....if you folks don't wanna do it then i guess i could take the job. :roll: tsk tsk.....the things i gotta do for the hive. ;)


  67. BananaFysh:

    LOL at "crab eyes." I heard it referred to as "driving with your high lights on" as well.

    Oh, Queenie, you FINALLY saw 40 Year Old Virgin, huh? Good for you! That scene with the nipple slip is pretty funny. The "Man-O-Lantern" scene is classic too. "Kelly Clarkson!" :D

    oh yeah, glad you hear you got your car back HSiB! No need put sunscreen now, when you go driving through Way-kee-kee. ;)


  68. NKHEA:

    opso - what dat wet t-shirt contest :? you neva read what I told M, I no look at that kind stuff..... now, how much land you like buy on the big island......
    Eh I wen miss somting bout the match oh wat.....you guy's talking bout'um, wen and were....I like no...I like go...


  69. Ocean Lover (QB needs ta know):

    QB,
    Explain the Mr. Ed thing more. What does that talking horse have to do with this story? Well he took SO LONG pissing......it reminded me of a HORSE.....then "Mr. Ed" came to my mind.

    And now the topic at hand… Maybe he did #1 first and flushed cause he didn’t want to splash while doing #2?? But I don’t understand why he didn’t just sit down in the first place! THAT'S EXACTLY MY POINT! Why go into the bathroom INTENDING to piss........then change one's mind "mid-SPLIT STREAM: ;-) and then do a #2...........WEIRD!

    Not sure if your desk is close to the bathroom but did you take note of how long he was in there?? Queenie.........its bad enough for me to be IN THERE WITH HIM.........I'm NOT going to "take notes" of the WEIRDNESS.

    I have a slight headache......perhaps all this talk about "shrinkage" has constricted the blood vessels to my brain...........on "TOP". :evil:

    OL


  70. Shauna:

    My musketeer ladies!! :)

    HNL2LAS: Well, if we ever meet IRL you'd tell me if I resembled a bowling pin, right? Also, we can tell each other if there's food stuck in our teeth. That actually is a problem for me. Spinach always gets stuck and even pepper!! :( That's why I always try to carry a mini mirror and toothpick. :)

    snow (still laughing at OLs imaginary dialogue w/ WEIRDO... and the appearance of the REAL WEIRDO!): I wish you and HNL2LAS and I could've met for lunch (oh yeah, all you Bee Bee Dees, too!) so I could've shared with you two. Everyone gets one fork-prong full each. Hah! Oh yeah, don't want to waste chocolate or mac nuts at BL... But gummy bears are too light! What about that Violets hard candy? I don't think I ever liked those candies. And that story about that guy reaching to fix your dress tag is CREEPY! Did you scream? :) That's fine to help out but at least say it before you do it!

    NKHEA: Yeah, I think all this talk about him getting hit by hard candies is getting BL a bit nervous. And hah, Rodney and I are tight...not to the point of conspiracy like BL thinks though...

    Rodney: Yup, we got each other's backs... And don't worry, whenever the yobo comes lurking by my desk, I tell you everything. :) We were talking Korean stuff today though. :)


  71. Shauna:

    Masako: Thanks for explaining what crab eyes are. Did NOT know that. But doesn't that happen to a lot of girls when it gets cold? Any prevention tips? Real padded bras? ;)

    opso: Wet T-shirt contest?? You think BL is gonna go for that? Hah hah! And you're right about my musketeers supposed to be helping me. Thank you for seeing the big picture and your offer to help. I take it that means you're on my side... But honey slathering is no easy job. Just squirting it on me won't cut it. ;) And thanks for your earlier comment about the goodies. BTW, on yesterday's post, talk is going around about girls with the pretty smiles. Go show them the Kdrama girls that will blow their picks away. :)

    ACK! Someone just sent me a NiceCritic message!! It's confession time! Who did it??


  72. Shauna:

    Ocean Lover (QB needs ta know): Oh no! I hope your headache goes away soon!! BTW, I don't think I've ever seen a horse pee pee. Speaking of animals, my friend who is pregnant was talking to me about breast feeding and the breast pump. Our other friend (a guy) was asking about the process and if it hurts, etc. We couldn't believe how much milk can be released. So the girl explains and basically says it's like milking a cow. I couldn't help but laugh cause God knows I've never milked a cow before!! Is it like the movies where you are not supposed to be on the certain side of a cow because you get knocked over??

    BananaFysh: Yes, that movie is hilarious!! I don't remember the “Man-O-Lantern” scene though. Can you refresh my memory?

    snow and NKHEA: So how many chocolate nuts have been licked off so far? Hmm, that doesn't sound quite right...


  73. Shauna:

    munch: I loved those messages you came up with! :) But yeah, when you get an anonymous one (like how I just did and no one is confessing to!) then it does make you wonder. Then you go around the office seeing which folks avoid looking at you or have those shifty eyes...

    BTW, that message sent to me included a screen name of one of the folks who commented today... not necessarily from that person though.

    Reido: I also agree with you. Unless you're close to that person, it's better to hope that one of that person's closer friends will let the poor fellow know...

    hanapaa (checked my zipper): So did you end up getting that dream cake? :)

    Rodney and book2: I guess I never heard of Fujiya... So is it like a small mom-and-pop shop? What's the best thing to get over there?


  74. Masako:

    Once I was visiting with my good friend while she was using a electric pump to pump her milk. It was so funny! It makes this pumping sound and you can hear the milk swishing out. Sometimes if she went to long without pumping or feeding she would leak, it was pretty funny seeing two spots on her shirt.


  75. HNL2LAS:

    Oh my Queen, of course, (ohh that sounded weird! sorry! I not like that.. bahahah), of course I'd tell you if you looked like a bowling pin but I doubt THAT would ever happen! hehe.. skinny girl! I would tell you if you had food in your teeth, I have that issue too, so make sure you tell me too eh? I try to carry floss, but sometimes when I really need it, oh man... not in the bag...

    Thank you for being willing to share Queenie! =). Yah I don't like those violet candies either... ohhhh I think we found a winnah.... I wouldn't feel like I was wasting if we used those hehe... OH NO! BL is getting Nervous with the hard candy throwin' talk?? huh.... does that mean he's scared of QB?? Of me 'n Snow?? hee heee... ohhhhh da Power! bahahaha

    I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I'm a good corner woman I swear! I pay attention!! If QB "tagged" me in, I'm All in, but only if she REALLY needed back up! Otherwise, the cheering section with the candy throwing and... and.... honey slathering is my role eh?? hee hee....

    uhh... yah..... how many chocolate nuts have been licked so far?? BAHAHAHAH... it does sound dang funny!


  76. opso:

    yeah if she no like the nuts just suck all da chocolate off and save the nuts for who ever lik’um

    :shock:

    Just squirting it on me won’t cut it.

    :shock: :shock:

    So how many chocolate nuts have been licked off so far?

    :shock: :shock: :shock:

    what the heck!! i'm trying.....i'm trying reeeal hard. mmfphtmfphtm.....

    okay Queenie....i guess i have to bone-up....hey now!....on my honey slathering skeels. got any suggestions on where/how i should practice? ;)

    you should post what the anonymous message said. then we can all try and guess who sent it to you. i think we can narrow it down.
    or.....if the person doesn't step forward then everyone will be punished (spanked)
    ooooh....we've all been verrry...bad....bad....little Shaunabee's. ;)

    NKHEA - i already bought. doh! :?


  77. Ocean Lover (Feeling bettah):

    I was wondering what people think when women have “crab eyes” especially when your somewhere really cold. Is that a bad thing to have?

    "Crab Eyes" is a GOOD THING! All women should display "crab eyes". Shows us guys that you're paying ATTENTION. ;-)

    Nighty night everyone........may as well go to sleep early as dis old body trying to tell me to rest.

    OL


  78. BananaFysh:

    oh my. What's with the chocolate nut licking? :?

    opso, you wanna borrow my cold shower? ;)

    @Shauna - The "Man-O-Lantern" scene was when he was getting his chest waxed. She ripped the 2 strips from his nipples (eyes), one in the middle (nose) and the one across his stomach, hip to hip (mouth). The brutal thing, to me, is that IT WAS REAL. :shock:

    So, did you take care of the "noticeable post-bathroom stain?"

    :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:


  79. Shauna:

    Masako: So did you avoid looking at those two wet spots? Hah!

    opso: I think now I know why I do the extreme snorting on some comments. It's the emoticons!! Certain ones are just too funny! I just LOVE that bug eye one among many others. Rodney gave me the cheat sheet on emoticons but I forgot to write down the link. I really got to learn them so I don't have to keep using the same three! But anyways, when you take the conversation out of context, I can see why it MAY sound misleading... ;) In terms of the honey-slathering practice, because we don't want you to waste water, I suggest you practice on BananaFysh! Hahahaha! Kidding! In this case, I think one of my musketeers should offer themselves... All for one and one for all, right? :) And great idea on sharing that message. Here it is:
    Dear Queenie (Not from BananaFysh),
    An anonymous visitor stopped by NiceCritic.com and selected the following message for you.
    You have a noticeable post-bathroom stain.
    NiceCritic.com

    BananaFysh: I think we found our culprit! Someone needs to get a spanking!! Need to get more denting in! OH! Now I remember that scene!! And the job was left half done!! Can you relate? ;)

    Ocean Lover (Feeling bettah): Good night! Yes, paying attention is very important!!


  80. BananaFysh:

    No, but the message says "(Not from BananaFysh)" so cannot be me, right?

    ;)


  81. Shauna:

    Then it's from BananaFish, your evil twin! Bad bananas!


  82. BananaFysh:

    :lol:

    Queenie, you crack me up!

    I even snorted!

    :lol:


  83. Shauna:

    Yes! I'm getting snort converts!! :)

    opso: By any chance did you decide if you might need tickets to the 9/9 event? :)


  84. BananaFysh:

    Too bad you don't know my email address, or you could send me some anonymous criticism. :razz:

    Maybe tomorrow I'll let you know your thong is showing. ;)

    hee hee hee
    :mrgreen:


  85. NKHEA:

    Shauna - the mo you lick the nuts the betta 8O does this sound right :D

    good night QB aka QPP, and all you PPD's.......


  86. Rodney:

    Okay Queenie, here you go. Again. Bookmark it.

  87. opso:

    see....i knew that would draw out the culprit!
    lucky BF.....you get to get spanked by Queenie now. :shock:

    doh!.....sorry.....i forgot all about that event. :oops:
    not sure yet. when is the deadline for pre-sale tix? any plans to get the peeps from O&E, MLC & WWD together?


  88. BananaFysh:

    @opso

    oh man, that was killin' me. I was bus' laughing when I saw this:

    ACK! Someone just sent me a NiceCritic message!! It’s confession time! Who did it??

    and this one totally killed me:

    BTW, that message sent to me included a screen name of one of the folks who commented today… not necessarily from that person though.

    I could have left it totally anonymous, and just put "Queenie" on the "TO:" field, but I thought I would throw her a bone, so to speak. ;) So I put in the (Not from BananaFysh). :lol:

    I almost put "TO: Queenie (from opso)" in the subject line. But I thought better, cause then she would immediately blame you, and give you spankings. Cause that's a bad thing, right? ;) ;) *nudge nudge*

    I can't believe Queenie only got one NiceCritic comment! Inconceivable! :shock:

    :lol:


  89. Shauna:

    Rodney: I bookmarked the link. And putting it to the test now. I hope it works. Thanks! :cool:

    BananaFysh: :roll: (hope that one worked!) I thought someone was trying to throw me off. Figured if it were you, you wouldn't write "not from BananaFysh" and come up with something wittier. You disappoint! :lol: Plus I know opso wouldn't do that cause, well ... cause Queenie and opso are tight. :P And what does that tell you if you were the only one who sent one? Bad Banana! You go to the bottom of the hive! :D You can be forgiven if you send me your e-mail! Well, actually I already have it... :lol:

    opso: Not sure when the pre-sale deadline is. I'll find out. That would be cool if we can get a bunch of us together. It's all the same people anyway! :)


  90. BananaFysh:

    Ah-ha, but I DID throw you off! It was too easy!
    You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well-known is this: never go in against a Okinawan when a joke is on the line! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! :lol:
    (Please tell me you did your homework, and know what this is from) :roll:

    Oh, you already have my email, huh? I guess you'll be telling me you can see my thong tomorrow, huh? ;)


  91. honda si boy (got his car back!!!):

    OL: maybe the guy was shame for do a #2 with other people in the bathroom. i can barely stand using public restrooms period so maybe the guy is like that too. hard to let loose all the bodily functions and noises in public. and no, that weirdo guy wasn't me!


  92. honda si boy (got his car back!!!):

    haha BF, that is the most classic line!!! what a perfect fit!


  93. anklebiters:

    Mr Ed - the talking horse . I watched the show as a kid....

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLR4iZJLgc4


  94. opso:

    ho BF....you was going to slander my "good" :roll: name?

    yeah.....i would neeeever do that. and like Queenie said....we tight! :P *hiding behind Queenie*

    but i'll take spankings too. heh heh


  95. Shauna:

    anklebiters: Thanks for the link! And also the one for your pictures! :)

    opso: Yeah, can you believe that Banana? Trying to drag you down with him? :evil: Unless you guys plotting behind my back! Then yes, you get spankings! :)

    BF: Of course I DO NOT know that line! It's not even vaguely familiar! My guess is some old war movie! How old are you again?? Oh wait, is it 'Princess Bride' cause I know I was ordered to watch that...


  96. hanapaa (spit coffee on my keyboard):

    Wow! I really missed out last night!

    Masako:

    August 18th, 2008 at 4:50 pm
    I was wondering what people think when women have “crab eyes” especially when your somewhere really cold. Is that a bad thing to have?

    @Masako: Ha, ha! I never heard that one either, but I'll remember it!


  97. hanapaa (spit coffee on my keyboard):

    @snow: UJI!!! I surprised the guy didn't get a slap or a knee up his jewels.


  98. BananaFysh:

    @Shauna - ho boy, you STILL never watch Princess Bride yet!?! You like spankings or what? WWD!?! ;)

    I still waiting for my NiceCritic message. :razz:

    *fistbump* for HSiB for recognizing. :D

    opso, sorry for spoiling the spanking possibility, and the "slander". hee hee hee ;)
    no worry, I'm sure there will be many more opportunities for spankings from Queenie. You can "slander" me if you like, since I stay at the bottom of the hive anyways. :cry: ooh, wait, the "bottom" is where you get spankings! 8)


  99. BananaFysh:

    re: "Crab Eyes" - for guys, this is rarely a bad thing to see. Well, depends on the "projector." ;)

    When we spock 'um, we nudge each other to check 'um out. Better not stare though, cause can be like staring into the sun: you might get damaged permanently if you stare too long. Better to use sunglasses. 8)


  100. honda si boy (driving his REAL car...and still waaaay behind on school work):

    BF: speaking of movies and "crab eyes," did you ever see "g.i. jane"? when she walks in the cafe, she gets ribbed by the other grunts and one of them yells, "don't you know it's rude to point!" haha. she was wearing a pretty tight t-shirt.... *nudge* *nudge*....

    oh, and *fistbump* back to yah...you know, that might be misconstrued as a "terrorist" thing taking place in a "foreign and exotic" location by some numb-rod t.v. analyst in her own little east coast world.... muwahahahaha!


  101. Tara:

    I think that nice critc site is really great!
    I can't stand telling people that kind of stuff....it's so akward!
    But I would much prefer if someone were to tell me that i have food stuck in my braces....or you know what i hate...those straps that comes with women's tops or dresses to hang your clothes...they always stick out and ruin the whole outfit. i wish someone would tell me when that happens.
    my friend the other day was missing one eyebrow and i didn't want to tell her. it was raining and it had come off! :)


  102. opso (pffffftt......spraying coffee on my monitor):

    my friend the other day was missing one eyebrow and i didn’t want to tell her. it was raining and it had come off!

    bwahahaha! that's for real Tara? you joking.....right? ;lol:

    BF - ahhh.....you found out my little niche. why do you think previously i was always at the bottom in hive status. ;)
    enjoy!


  103. BananaFysh:

    @HSiB - ooh, yeah, GI Jane. Demi Moore's "crab eyes" had binoculars too, I think. ;)

    Oh man, that wahine reporter needs a swift kick in her elitist butt. I will firmly lodge a "foreign and exotic" object up there, right next to her head. ;)
    what an asshat! :lol:

    @Tara - ho wow, your friend lose her eyebrow, and you no say nothing? Just bus' out the sharpie next time, and draw um back in! :lol:

    If I lost my eyebrow, I think I would be leaning while I walked. ;)


  104. BananaFysh:

    @opso

    ahhh…..you found out my little niche. why do you think previously i was always at the bottom in hive status. ;)

    Ah soooo..... Dat's why you bought all those goodies, to move up the hive order? ;)

    You are a sly drone! :razz:

    @Tara: Pardon my ignorance but was it glued on or penciled? And isn't the adhesive or pencil water/perpiration-proof?

    BF - i wish i could take credit but unfortunately it wasn't me. :(
    right Queenie?

    i gotta work really hard you know, just to inch my way up. like taking on ODD job's such as "honey slatherer". :P

    wow, i missed out on lots of conversation here!

    tara: yes, that missing eyebrow scenario had me snorting over and over again!! it's just as hard to avoid staring as if someone had a booger hanging out of his nose... like hanapaa (lost eyebrow?) asked, was it glued on or penciled??

    BananaFysh: I also happened to miss seeing G.I. Jane. My homework list is getting long! :( So you like being on the bottom huh? ;)

    opso (not me): Yeah, it wasn't you on the sweets. But only because you don't want me to look like a bowling pin! ;) Like a good Bee Bee Dee, you have my best interests at heart. But if you are trying to climb higher in the hive, you can help me sell tickets to the 9/9 event. :)
