ODDly seen on TV
November 10th, 2009 by ShaunaInfomercials! You gotta love them and you gotta hate them. I was at a bar the other night watching some swinging-ab machine commercial on TV. It looked really cool. And while the left-to-right movement was fascinating to watch, the best part is seeing the before-and-after pictures. In one shot there is a guy with a hanging beer belly using the machine and then (quickly) over time his stomach shrinks and forms a six pack! As if! But that's how they lure you!
A good sales pitch or the right marketing can probably get you to fork over your money. And those that sell an emotional or physical reward probably have a greater chance of success.
So what do you think of this Tiddy Bear product? This video explains it all...
-----
Wonder if any men want some Tiddy Bears? They were ODDly absent in the sales pitch...
So how often do you buy things seen on TV? Are you easily convinced by what you see marketed on air?
What products (or salespeople) can successfully lure you to call that phone number listed on the screen and read off your credit card number to the telemarketer?
Anyone recall seeing any ODD product pitches?
And here's a virtual teddy bear (not Tiddy Bear) hug for jaydee! His birthday is tomorrow! Since it's a holiday, many of you may not be online so send him some early birthday wishes!

FIRST!
November 10th, 2009 at 10:03 am
Happy early Birthday Jaydee! MayBEE you'll get a Tiddy Bear as a present!
OL...................."SECOND!"
November 10th, 2009 at 10:06 am
TURD!!
Ocean Lover: Do you have a Tiddy Bear? Thanks again for the great tip!
November 10th, 2009 at 10:10 am
Queenie........I don't have a Tiddy Bear as I don't have "tiddies"...I think.
They could also BEE called "Scone Savers".
OL.........Tiddy Bear's.....don't leave home without them.
November 10th, 2009 at 10:16 am
New post now? Sneaky!
November 10th, 2009 at 10:18 am
Happy early birfday Jaydee!
Gotta find out what a "Tiddy bear" is now since I can't see the video
November 10th, 2009 at 10:26 am
Happy early birthday jaydee!
Enjoy all the parades they're going to have on your birfday tomorrow!
November 10th, 2009 at 10:28 am
Ah! okay, I've seen the commercials for that "Tiddy bear."
They should put a BEEg pervy smile on it.
Oh yeah, Finger of Shame for Queenie, for the "Pee & Poo" plush toys.
November 10th, 2009 at 10:32 am
KAN: Should BEE a lot of jazz hands going down?
BananaFysh: Hey, those plush toys are cute. You can sleep with one on each side of your head! When you turn, you can snuggle right into it and breathe heavily!
November 10th, 2009 at 10:37 am
Since I don't have TV I am not blessed with a shower of infomercials.
OL: you made me spit my saimin! (he don't have Tiddies)
I think those Pee n Poo Plushies are OL's nightmare.
Sally>>>*grateful for no saimin in da nose*
November 10th, 2009 at 10:40 am
oh, and shame on me...
Happy Early Birthday jaydee!!!
November 10th, 2009 at 10:41 am
Eh wow, QB...sneaky eh, posting a new one at this time..
November 10th, 2009 at 10:43 am
Good afternoon!!
Happy birthday jaydee!
Guys need something for the lap belt area. They need to invent the lappy sheep.
November 10th, 2009 at 10:44 am
@Shauna -- I hope those plush toys are not "scratch & sniff" too!
Check this toy out:
http://www.strangeco.com/Shop_item.php?id=835&cat=&sub=&full=1#
November 10th, 2009 at 10:45 am
Wow! Thanks for the birthday wishes. I plan on taking the day off tomorrow and go golfing....my annual ritual that I have with a group of good friends.
November 10th, 2009 at 10:46 am
I think they have to now come out with a O&E version of the bear...featuring QB's friend, da Koala. The straps will be large enough to fit over the feet, keeping the feet warm.
November 10th, 2009 at 10:48 am
sally: Haha!! Remember never to eat when reading O&E!
David In Oregon: I'm Sneaky Queenie!
Eli: Hmm, lappy sheep sounds naughty!!
BananaFysh: Ah, that toy is cute! Interesting name though! How do you find this kind of stuff??
November 10th, 2009 at 10:51 am
Happy Pre-Birthday Jaydee
Where can I get me a swinging-ab machine
November 10th, 2009 at 10:52 am
jaydee: Yay, glad you have some fun birthday plans lined up!! Hope you play your best game ever!!
David In Oregon: Now that would BEE a very cool invention. What should we call it though? We need a catchy, creative and ODD name!
November 10th, 2009 at 10:52 am
@ Sally.....you "spit your saimin"? Ever sneezed while eating saimin and had a saimin noodle hanging OUTTA YOUR NOSE afta? Hahahaha.......happened to a friend once.
What a quandry! Do you:
a) Snort it back in
b) Pull it out with your fingers
c) Use your tongue to pull it into your mouth and gross your friends out
d) Run around with your arms flailing and yelling "WORMS! I GOT WORMS!"
OL.............never eat saimin with OL around
November 10th, 2009 at 10:55 am
@Shauna -- I know where to find all kinds of ODD items!
@DiO -- A koala version of the "Tiddy Bear," eh? Just don't squeeze it and smell it.
November 10th, 2009 at 10:55 am
Jack: Why not BEE handy and just build your own? While you're at it, make me one, too!
MayBEE you'll see the infomercial when you're at the bar next. It was neat!
November 10th, 2009 at 10:56 am
eh OL, you reminding me of that ole Frank Delima song...Don't Sneeze When You Eat Saimin.
November 10th, 2009 at 10:56 am
@OL -- The correct answer is:
e) Grab one end of the noodle in each hand, and proceed to "floss"
November 10th, 2009 at 10:57 am
I have never bought any products from those infomercials. Interesting and ODD items but no thank you. The snuggie is a neat idea. The blanket with sleeves but I still wouldn't buy it.
ODD image of the day:
The poo looks like a Hersheys kiss and the pee reminds me of Pikachu. So I choose you Pikachu.
Today Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 comes out. Can't wait for the work day to end so I can go pick up the game.
November 10th, 2009 at 10:57 am
Ocean Lover: FAIL! You already asked that question! Cannot recycle old poll questions!
And my answer is B just in case you forgot! 
BananaFysh: That's right...you also know a lot about toys (for adults).
November 10th, 2009 at 10:58 am
BananaFysh: Knowin' what koalas eat, that bugga gonna smell like cough drops.
November 10th, 2009 at 11:00 am
…♫Happy♫Birthday♫to♫you♫ … Jaydee!!!
…have a great day off … hope you can get all Tiger-like on the golf course!!! …
… and don’t forget the Tiger fist-pumps after all your birdies!!! …
November 10th, 2009 at 11:07 am
Issunboshi hasn't been here in a while so it's good to see all of the new posters...My favorite weird commercial is the one for the Snuggie. I find it completely hilarious when the two old people are at the movies with them or the scene with the whole crowd at the soccer game doing the wave. And now they come in animal prints! I wasn't going to buy one before but now that I can get one in Zebra, I'm all over it!
November 10th, 2009 at 11:09 am
QB: was just thinking.....could make some larger koalas, then instead of just keeping your feet warm, could keep your legs warm. Koala leg warmers.
November 10th, 2009 at 11:15 am
Thanks rayboyjr, I hope I can get at least one birdie!
Pee or Poo....I'll take 'em both!
Actually, that might make a great Christmas gag gift!
Hmmm....
November 10th, 2009 at 11:19 am
Shauna,
Speaking of ODD sales pitches, did you the video clip on CNN from Vegas ? De Jevu a gentlemen's club in Vegas is running an enclosed lit trailer up & down Las Vegas Blvd. that contains a live stripper. The girl doesn't actually remove all her clothes but she "dances" to attract customers to the club. The enclosure even contains stripper pole. Only in Vegas ! Note: the trailer only runs from 10:00 pm to 2:00 am. just in case you wanted to see it for yourself.
November 10th, 2009 at 11:26 am
Before I forget.....HB jaydee .... MS kept reminding me
I hope you shoot your age today.....29 on the front nine
November 10th, 2009 at 11:33 am
I profusely apologize for recycling an old poll question. In my old age.....I FORGOT that it was mentioned BEEfore.
I'll make every effort not to bring up old stuff henceforth from this day.
OL.............have you ever sneezed while eating saimin?
November 10th, 2009 at 11:33 am
Hah! Good one ankles. 29 putts would be nice!
November 10th, 2009 at 11:37 am
Happy Day BEEfore your Birthday Jaydee.
I really want both Pee and Poo. I can leave it in front of my office door to let my boss know where I am.. haahha, nah.
I bought a few things from the As Seen On TV Store. Have not been disappointed yet.
November 10th, 2009 at 11:58 am
BananaFysh: Haha! That's a good one!
Eli: I think poo is cuter!
Hope your game is in stock to pick up!
roach: No, I haven't seen that clip! Can you find us the link? I'm kinda curious!
Kage: Is the price the same in the store as if you bought it on TV?
November 10th, 2009 at 12:01 pm
happy day beefore your birthday, Jaydee.
the first woman who speaks in the infomercaial...is it just me, or does she have a black eye and a bad makeup job? her left eye seems oddly dark around it.
also, why don't the tiddy bears come in packs of twos? socks come in sets of two.
November 10th, 2009 at 12:09 pm
issunboshi: HI HI!!!!! Even though your e-mail is a bit different, I remember you!! I take it you're no longer at the same company. I recently e-mailed you and it bounced back. But I am so glad to hear from you!!! Thought you forgot all about us! That Snuggie product is weird. It looks very restricting even though it claims not to BEE!
November 10th, 2009 at 12:11 pm
They should show the real commercial where the guy's abs go from six pack to keg. Now that would be a believeable ad.
November 10th, 2009 at 12:12 pm
Happy b'day jaydee!!!!!!!!!! Lots of b'days this time of year.
November 10th, 2009 at 12:13 pm
@Shauna - yeah, the same price without the shipping and handling. Good deal if you really want it.
November 10th, 2009 at 12:14 pm
Shauna: Lappy sheep isn't naughty. She is an innocent sheep protecting her flock.
November 10th, 2009 at 12:16 pm
"My shoulder straps used to pull so tight I could barely breathe".
Can we get MORE dramatic?
"Place it where you need it"... like between your ti.... boobs? oh my. Who thought this was a great idea except for entertaining insomniacs?
November 10th, 2009 at 12:18 pm
happy birthday jaydee! hope you have a great round on your birthday! you have to take the day off tomorrow? don't they know your birthday is a holiday???
i like (the stuffed versions of!) pee and poo... they are kind of cute! i think pee is cuter than poo, though! ha ha... that just sounds so wrong!!
November 10th, 2009 at 12:21 pm
jaydee - i just remembered that i already wished you a really early happy birthday... was it a couple of months ago? hee hee... (teejay and jaydee are kinda close, right???
)
November 10th, 2009 at 12:29 pm
I think OL needs to design Pee & Poo's cousin, "#3." It can BEE called "Puddle" or something.
I wonder if they would make a "Corny variant" of the Poo doll?
MayBEE an "asparagus scented" Pee doll?
November 10th, 2009 at 12:34 pm
BananaFysh: no, OL's #3 design will BEE called BLATTT!..............BLATTT!............OTTTOT!
November 10th, 2009 at 12:38 pm
@snow: it would sound so wrong only if anywhere else but the Triad. In here, it sounds perfectly normal. ha!
@BF: Good thing I'm pau w/ my saimin.
ok ok, back to cleaning.
November 10th, 2009 at 12:40 pm
@ OL #20: made me snort out loud!
@BF, #24: you're my lead candidate for the FINGER OF SHAME award for the day. (And given the topics and candidates for the day, that's saying a lot.)
November 10th, 2009 at 12:44 pm
Shauna,
http://www.cnn.com/video/?/video/us/2009/11/09/delucia.nv.pole.dancers.on.wheels.kvvu
November 10th, 2009 at 12:49 pm
@DiO -- How could I forget that one??!?!?
The packaging for that toy would look like a pizza box.
November 10th, 2009 at 12:54 pm
@Sally -- awwwwww, I wanted to see you running around saying you got worms.
@KAN -- Finger of Shame for me?
I never post the pic of Pee & Poo!
Or are you talking about "flossing?" I was referring to one end of the noodle hanging out your nose while the other end is still in your mouth. Then you grab each end and "floss."
What were YOU thinking of?
November 10th, 2009 at 12:59 pm
I think they had to spell the name in the infomercial so you wouldn't get the wrong idea. Either that, or there were no guys in the commercial is because the name is meant to evoke the part of the female anatomy that makes the seat belt too tight in the first place.
November 10th, 2009 at 1:09 pm
Meanwhile, back at the dildo factory in Encino the boss is going:" why can't you idiots think up something like this damn bear?"
November 10th, 2009 at 1:22 pm
EMM386: Good theory on why there are no men in the infomercial and why they had to spell the name out! Haha!! Wanna entertain us with music today?
turk fontaine: That CEO is fired!!
roach: Thanks!
November 10th, 2009 at 1:26 pm
good afternoon hivers!
happy birfday eve jaydee!! hope you have da round of your life golfing tomorrow!
ha come they put da tiddy bear on their shoulders or in between da tiddies. looks like da way da tiddy bear is designed.....it should BEE put right smack on....and BEE bear hugging da tiddy.
November 10th, 2009 at 1:35 pm
Poo! We don't need no stinkin' Poo.
We have Mr. Hankey!

speaking of stoopid infomercials......i actually saw this Slap Chop Rap
da ODDah night. kinda funny actually. it better than Vince just yakking away. heh
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbH5gAh0qPQ
November 10th, 2009 at 1:38 pm
oops......sorry for the moosic interruptus.
November 10th, 2009 at 1:39 pm
BEEsides "Pee" & "Poo" we could BLEND them both together and make "Squirt". And it would look like a puddle like what Banana said. Altogedder now........."Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww".
Think of the possibilities................you could hang the "appropriate one" from your bathroom doorknob. After what WEIRDO did last week, he could've hung ALL OF DEM over the door.
But lets not forget "Whiffa"............that one could BEE a brown cloud............kinda puffy with a touch of stench.
OL........wondering if he mentioned dese BEEfore
November 10th, 2009 at 1:52 pm
OL: Why not just combine them altogether and call it Weirdo
oooh, hailstorm just started right now.
November 10th, 2009 at 2:19 pm
Dunno how you find the time to find these things. The Tiddy Bear thing is like something out of Saturday Night Live. Too funny.
November 10th, 2009 at 2:19 pm
Happy Birthday jaydee!
November 10th, 2009 at 2:23 pm
@OL - I would buy the "Whiffa".
November 10th, 2009 at 2:24 pm
And I would name it "Bwoot"
November 10th, 2009 at 2:25 pm
Then I would buy a sibling for it and call it "Pfft"
November 10th, 2009 at 2:51 pm
@BF, #53: I was thinking about the flossing bit. That's just wrong
Although OL's #61 has overtaken you on the FINGER OF SHAME leaderboard

November 10th, 2009 at 5:57 pm
@Shauna, if you must know...I, as the fat bellied man in the informercial was quite handsomely compensated for my part in the commercial
I spent the money at McD's.
Happy B-day Jaydee!
Next time I'm in L.A. maybee we can play some golf.

November 10th, 2009 at 9:54 pm
Tiddy Bear?? They should add some straps to Pee and Poo so you can drive around covered with Pee or Poo.
November 11th, 2009 at 12:24 am
I want to BEE the guy who applies the fur/fuzziness to the bears.
Then I could have the title of Tiddy Flocker
bwahahahahaha!!!
Oh geez, I crack myself up.
November 11th, 2009 at 1:30 am
HNL2LAS: Glad you made it there safely! I was starting to get worried something ODD happened on the way over!
bamboohouse808: You'd like to BEE covered in pee and poo, huh?
BananaFysh: Tiddy Flocker! I'm ashamed at your bad taste!
November 11th, 2009 at 1:45 am
HNL2LAS: Hey your late!! Did you have any ice cream yet?
November 11th, 2009 at 2:49 am
Happy Birthday jaydee!
That Tiddy Bear would make a good Halloween costume.
"Would you like a demonstration?"

I feel guilty as I woke up at 6:30 a.m........."sleeping in" if you will.
Gotta check if the yard is still in place with all the rain we had last night.
OL.......................wondering what he's gonna do today
November 11th, 2009 at 6:53 am
Good Morning.
Sorry AFK yesterday. In class and then we went to Kim's Karaoke last night. I was talking story to the owners husband (my classmate) and guess what? He brought out some steaks and OPIHI
NKHEA, you lose out again.
November 11th, 2009 at 6:54 am
November 11th, 2009 at 7:23 am
eh Ynaku, no brag too much. Otherwise the next time you see NKHEA, he might switch out yo beea and give you some Pree-Mo.

To Ynaku: I'm jealous!
November 11th, 2009 at 7:56 am
i was at the local japanese market the other day picking up some laulau (a couple of japanese markets in the bay area chip in and get a matson container full of local stuff every week) when i saw a sign "opihi $29.99/lb". i looked closer and saw the fine print: "from ireland" um...pass. i'll let one of my friends try it out first.
November 11th, 2009 at 8:08 am
matt: being from Ireland, shouldn't it have been spelled O'pihi?
November 11th, 2009 at 8:12 am
@D in O: We might be on to something. "Hive's Magic Weight Loss Drink".
matt: opihi from Ireland? ay sus what is this world coming to?
HNL2LAS: Maybe we can get the gang together and go to the Duke Kahanamoku statue and call you, then when you go online we can all wave and shaka to you!
Sally gottsa go work now. Thank You again Veterans!
November 11th, 2009 at 8:16 am
sally: make sure everyone has a red muumuu or dove shorts on, so KAN knows that's you.

ooh, I meant to say HNL2LAS knows that's you.
November 11th, 2009 at 8:23 am
Good Morning DiO, Matt, Sally, Ynaku, KAN, waitwhileIscrolluptoseeif Imissedanyone.....
Uku, Jack, Teejay.......anybody else its TOO LATE! 
Just had some bacon and waffles and coffee......and LIFE'S GOOD.
Anyone have any EXCITING PLANS today? Going shopping doesn't count...........
OL........still wondering what he's gonna do today
November 11th, 2009 at 8:26 am
I know one thing you not gonna do today OL.....think of weirdo.
November 11th, 2009 at 8:32 am
DiO...........I should BEE so lucky.
And that Ireland opihi was on the news a few years back. Since opihi's getting scarce that's the new "supply" area. I remember the news story where some lady was travelling in Ireland and saw these limpets along the shoreline and thought "These really look like opihi" and got an idea "$$$$$$".
And the rest like they say is HISTORY.
OL............sharing some trivia
November 11th, 2009 at 9:15 am
OL: we're gonna see a singer (new to us) named Sachal Vasandani
at Jazz Alley tonight. We heard a song of his on the radio ("We Move," also the name of his new CD, probably played to promote his appearance) and liked it so much we're gonna go. Doesn't hurt that there's no cover charge at Jazz Alley tonight either.
November 11th, 2009 at 9:19 am
Hey KAN...........have a good one and enjoy!
Da Teenager JUST GOT UP (9:35 a.m.) and has wasted "half the day".
OL...........good day everybeedy
November 11th, 2009 at 9:26 am
ol,
we actually have some opihi-like limpets up here in cali. taste is similar and they seem to make good bait (my friend picked a couple, ate one, gave one to me and hanapaa about ten second after sending one out). we also have some limu that looks and sort of tastes like limu eleele. good to know we have reasonable substitutions up here for some local basics.
matt-------still looking for the california equivalent of limu kohu
November 11th, 2009 at 9:34 am
OL, plans for da day?
CLASSES
:p get few guys hanging today after last night's drinking
Gotta pace yourself and go home early
November 11th, 2009 at 9:36 am
limpets. hee, hee.
That is such an O&E word.
November 11th, 2009 at 9:47 am
Rodney: now that you say it like that, I'm beginning to think of limpets as some sort of speshull group in da Hive....the Limpets.
November 11th, 2009 at 10:04 am
The Limpets need to set an appointment to see Alice for thier problems.
November 11th, 2009 at 10:10 am
@Jack
November 11th, 2009 at 10:11 am
@DIO - The Limpets are the MLC bees.
November 11th, 2009 at 10:17 am
Rodney: I thought that was the Gimpets.

Wasn't there a movie with Don Knotts that was called 'Mr. Limpet?"
November 11th, 2009 at 10:55 am
Rodney: That reminds me of some joke picture a friend sent me one day. The picture showed some kid crying next to a very large tombstone. On the tombstone was the name Santa Claus, and the dates of birth and death.
November 11th, 2009 at 10:56 am
teejay: Yes, it was called The Incredible Mr. Limpet.

GOOD MORNING!! I feel like shouting it since I got about 20 minutes left till it's no longer morning!!
Happy Veterans Day!
Where's my breakfast?
No opihi or O'Pihi please! Never tried it and never will! I'd rather eat a cooked shrimp instead but that is only if it calls for drastic measures. 
Rodney: Oops, was it a work day there? Just rolled out of bed...
Jack: Sorry, it's not raining here! Blue skies, fluffy clouds and overcast only in the way-off distance!!
Ocean Lover: Go get some BJ time in! I got a quickie in last night with good results!!
November 11th, 2009 at 11:32 am
Queenie! I saw your BJ "record" and thought HOW THE HECK????????? YOU MUST share your BJ secret with me........
OL.......its NOT what you tink
November 11th, 2009 at 11:47 am
How come Shauna's not on my BJ list? No fair.
So you're off today... Hmm, maybe BL and me should go do the afternoon news livestream update. LOL
November 11th, 2009 at 11:55 am
Ocean Lover: Some folks are just BJ-skilled blessed.
Rodney: Do it, do it!! Yesterday's one never even made it online. WWD!
matt: So I'm still waiting to hear what you learned in your class!
November 11th, 2009 at 12:06 pm
Hey Queenie..........if I get "excess BJ"..........will I go BLIND?
My eyes starting to get SORE.
OL..........."blind" already
November 11th, 2009 at 12:07 pm
Rodney..........you already HAVE excess BJ. I'm trying to get "more" than you.
OL...........in pursuit of excess BJ
November 11th, 2009 at 12:09 pm

Ok, back to work.
November 11th, 2009 at 12:09 pm
Good afternoon hive!
Went China town this morning, got some veggies, fruits, look funn, roast pork and some din sum....
November 11th, 2009 at 12:25 pm
not sure what I learned in the class. more a case of demonstrable skills vs. relate-able skills. If we ever meet up and I happen to offend anyone, please know in advance it's Shauna's fault because she wanted to see if I learned the lessons from my class today.
November 11th, 2009 at 12:41 pm
matt: Typical man! Blame the woman!
M: Cool! Are you guys making some awesome dinner tonight?
Jack: So you noticed?
How tired are you today? Too bad you had to work!!
Ocean Lover: Nah, chance 'em!!
November 11th, 2009 at 12:51 pm
QB: Hah? You never tried, and never will try opihi?
WWD!
November 11th, 2009 at 1:22 pm
@Shauna - yesterday's online livestream DID make it. Paula and I were watching last night. Saw the little side eye to get the "go signal".
If fact, I captured it on video. You want me to You Tube it?
j/k. I didn't capture it.
November 11th, 2009 at 1:24 pm
Happy Veteran's Day to all past and present men and women of our Military!
I thank you for what you do for our country!
November 11th, 2009 at 1:33 pm
David In Oregon: Do you see what that thing looks like? Isn't it that black poky-looking thing???
Rodney: If I'm wearing black then that is Thursday's one. Friday I was wearing gray/silver..
November 11th, 2009 at 1:39 pm
Ah Rodney.................did ya know you're a BEEg "loser".
I just got a BEEg BJ!
OL............not BLIND....but close
November 11th, 2009 at 1:53 pm
Anyone see this video of the Penn State marching band at halftime against Illinois? It's pure bliss for sci-fi fans.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xad4GPaAkEY
November 11th, 2009 at 1:58 pm
Shauna: My alarm clock beat me home
I hope everyone is enjoying Whiskey Wednseday.....is it five yet?
November 11th, 2009 at 2:23 pm
EMM386: Wow!! That part where they formed the two boxers was so cool!! I totally miss marching band. And how big is that stadium? How come got so many people who go to the game??
During UH halftime most people leave to get snacks or go to the restroom they don't even see the band! 
Jack: The day is going by really fast for me. How ODD!
OceanLover: You got a bigger BJ than Rodney?? How much bigger?
November 11th, 2009 at 2:35 pm
@Shauna~
Wait. Today is Wednesday. You were wearing black. but it couldn't have been Thursday's because you reported about the girl falling off the balcony. And that didn't happen until Monday.
...someone is loosing it. Too much BJ I think so...
November 11th, 2009 at 2:44 pm
Bwahahahah
OL has a BIGGER WHAT then Rodney???????
November 11th, 2009 at 2:45 pm

Good afternoon!!
Happy Veterans Day and thank you to all the Veterans.
Starbucks started selling the egg nog lattes. My favorite coffee drink this time of the year.
I was thinking about going to the Microsoft store but got lazy and ended up going to an Apple store.
Lots of neat stuff in there. Especially that 27" monitor. That monitor was huge. 
I was just looking around and playing with everything.
November 11th, 2009 at 3:02 pm
Ynaku, Queenie, and Rodney......yes, you heard correctly. I got a BEEger BJ den Rodney.
OL...........a BEEg BJ and proud of it
November 11th, 2009 at 3:44 pm
good afternoon!
Happy Veteran's Day!
a BEEg fist bump to all da Veterans and active military for all that you do/did for this country of ours.
OL - you getting good at BJ?
November 11th, 2009 at 3:51 pm
@Shauna: It's PENN STATE. Major college football. They probably have a huge stadium to keep raking in the $ from people who want to watch the games. I think the Illinois game was their homecoming, so everyone probably stayed because they knew there would be a field show. I miss marching band too. I really hate to think of how long it took to diagram the show, though...
November 11th, 2009 at 3:55 pm
Opso Bruddah!
Yes.....I'm getting good at BJ.....ah, wait....that doesn't sound right.
The sun came out and I SHOULD do something constructive....yes I SHOULD.
OL..............getting good at BJ
November 11th, 2009 at 6:04 pm

Hello hello!
teejay: We need to have a karaoke night to find out! We are going to see you at the anniversary party, right?
anklebiters: Great patriotic music and even the other alternative ones! Woo-hoo!! So how's your packing going?
EM386: What did you play in the marching band?
Ocean Lover: You must have BEEn overloading on BJ...your score is pretty close to mine!
Scott: Don't worry about BJ. That's one less Hive member I need to worry about abandoning O&E.
November 11th, 2009 at 9:39 pm
Good Veteran's Day Evening to the Hive!
Plenny to catch up on since most of you had holiday today. Seems like it was a true, relaxing holiday with lots of you BJ-ing.
This song played on the radio today at work and I did a hoe-down. Hey, if you gotta work on a holiday, you may as well have some fun.

November 11th, 2009 at 10:10 pm
Good evening people. An unusual night time visit from me. Hope all had a nice Veteran's Day too. Back to work tomorrow...
Such a nice night out...cool, clear and full of stars. Glad the weather service was wrong, at least for now.
November 11th, 2009 at 10:54 pm
sally: At least you get the day off tomorrow, right?
visitor: Ooh, like the ODD timing for you to pop in! Heard it was one of our coolest nights in a long time. It is so nice even though my toes are cold!
November 11th, 2009 at 11:03 pm
Yes, it is BEE YOO TEE FUL out there tonight!
And a day off tomorrow! There was so much work to do today that it just zinged by. Before I knew it, it was 7pm pau hana! Now getting started on the other kitchen appliance... the stove. Late start due to yakking on the phone w/ my friend from Seattle. Good thing she's a late sleeper. Then got a call from another friend in Vegas trying to stay awake for 3am wakeup call.
Sally>>>*could think of better things to pass time in Vegas than to call me*
November 11th, 2009 at 11:06 pm
visitor: are you trying out for the vampire crew?
Shauna: I wouldn't go so far as saying my toes are cold, I still got the ceiling fan going! My perfect weather would BEE 75 during the day and low 50's at night. Maybe then I'd wear sleeves.
Sally>>>*got plenny insulation*
