  1. Gini I need to attend this wedding because it will be "THE" social event of 2011!! YA HEAR ME?

    In anticipation of being invited (aka winning this thang) I'm going to have my Thwacking Mouse dipped in Gold and encrusted with jewels as a wedding gift for the blushing bride and hunky groom!

    Yep -- Kitty will have her very own Thwackin Device!!

    *Corded Mice RULE!!!*

  2. I am so bringing a mighty sparkley covered DROIDX (I have one of my own) --- it might look like a cell phone but this wonderful DroidX has an app for anything. It can morph into whatever tool you need and it can create any defensive defense you require with its handy dandy replicator app (only us DroidX supreme users know about this and I have installed it.)

    I think that Kitty would love it and it would so compliment her sense of style. Its also great for staying in touch with everyone.

    ReplyDelete
  3. Oh of course I will bring a complimenting carrying case. A girl like Kitty needs to coordinate.


    ~there is always an app for that~

    ReplyDelete
  4. If I were so lucky as to be invited, ahem still no invitation, I would bring a lovely Glock 9 mm cause a girl needs all the firepower she can get - especially with an Alien in The Family!!

    ReplyDelete
  5. I want to join this wedding party . Where is my invitation to this big party ?

    Looks in mailbox...didn't get the invite yet

    ReplyDelete
  6. So, first and foremost, I've decided I NEED a Team Sandwich magnet. 'cause if Reader and Gower ever even Thought about going Bi, you know I'd be there. (I'd be the jelly of course.)

    So, now on to the most fabulous wedding gift EVER...A Purse Bright Organizer (As Seen On TV) for Miss Kitty's damn purse! It has a built in light when you open it! That way, Martini never has to get lost in that thang again!

    Such a fabulous wedding too, can't wait!

    ReplyDelete
  7. @Marnie -- a DROID? Have you even READ Kitty's books? It's all about imagination gurlie! Come on.

    Gini - I see I'm going to have to put this Mouse to use before I send it to Kitty

    *THWACK!*... DroidX... man *THWACK*..*walks away mumbling*

    ReplyDelete
  8. @ MissHavoc -- OMG did you JUST suggest that Jeff figure out how to access Kitty's Bastion of power?

    *THWACK*... *clutches pearls* That's like giving away the keys to the kingdom!! NEVER!! The messy purse is a NECESSITY!! Kitty always knows what to pull out at the right time!

    *still clutching pearls* Gini...are you REALLY thinkin bout inviting these folks? uh uh uh

    ReplyDelete
  9. @Julie *whispers* you won the last ARC contest you can't play.

    ReplyDelete
  10. I need to attend this wedding to see all of the A-C goodness up close and personal and maybe have a glaring contest with Christopher. I have a feeling that this will be a wedding to remember. :)

    My fugly fighting weapon that I would gift to this awesome couple would be a matching set of flame throwers with the inscription "Martini and Kitty, commanding each others hearts and thinking outside the box. Fugly killers extraordinaire."

    I would give this gift because it's portable, personalized and something they'd both probably love to use.

    Can't wait for the wedding. :)

    ReplyDelete
  11. @Dren, again with the mouse I think we know all about your thwacking prowess, and this time I've come prepared *puts on helmet* :)

    ReplyDelete
  12. @MissHavoc I've gotta agree with Dren on this one, you can't have Kitty organize her purse that's part of what makes her such a great character. :)

    ReplyDelete
  13. @dren shared my Alien tango book with all, so I have a good chance at it.

    I need to attend this wedding because I bring good music taste to dance with the bride. I'm bring a plunger because those toliets can get clogged up at a wedding recpeption.

    ReplyDelete
  14. @Becky *waves!!* I promise not too much Thwacking... I promise really! I do love the Flame Thrower idea.... very sexy....dare I say HAWT?!

    ReplyDelete
  15. @Julie -- dang I was hoping my little ruse would get you to NOT play. *pouts*

    Ewww for the plunger though.. just straight... ewww!

    ReplyDelete
  16. I need to attend this wedding cause I don't have a valentine this year so some alien man candy would be much appreciated.


    I would bring my sister as a possible weapon for a wedding present. When that girl (38, woman?)doesn't get enough sleep, I swear lazer beams come out of her blood shot blue eyes (as my mother says they look like bruised bing cherries). She also rivals gozilla for bad humor and stompiness.

    Hey, Dren- Is Dren a nickname or are you a fan of Farscape? If you're a fan, was it an evil younger sibling who named you Dren?

    ReplyDelete
  17. @Dren, hi *waves back but is not trusting enough to take anti-thwacking helmet off*

    Yeah I thought flamethrowers would be perfect and less messy then some other weapons would be.

    ReplyDelete
  18. We need to be invited to this wedding so we can bring our dates: Aliflash and Gigantagator (Even if it's NOW all about the Poofs. *Muwahahahahahahaha*) and they'll eat ALL the wedding crashers.

    So that'll be our gift. Nothing fuglier than a bunch of wedding crashers trying to get all the cake!

    ReplyDelete
  19. I want to go to the wedding! It looks like it's going to be amazing. Plus, I may get to snuggle up to Christopher.

    For my gift I thought I would bring a laser cat. Shoots laserbeams out of their eyes. Plus, they snuggle with you when you need some loving.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Mrs. Chuckie ReynoldsFebruary 14, 2011 at 6:11 PM

    Well a bride for her wedding must have something old, something borrowed, something new and something blue. I'm bringing Steven Tyler - to perform - so I'm covering the old. Oh, he'll wear blue leather pants. So, blue's covered too! If any fugglies show up, just pump up the bass and let Steven's pipes do the work!

    ReplyDelete
  21. @dren Remember the whole box of toliet paper Jeff was carring in Alien Tango. The Goverment is cheap at times , so instead of tossing bird seads. TP was thrown and thats why a plunger is needed because who knows if the food gets tainted at the wedding.

    A plunger is practicial gift , and the ruse didn't work this time.

    ReplyDelete
  22. @Team Gini, Nice name, you know you won't win just because you name yourself after the author right?? And alligators eating wedding crashers might be a tad harsh not to mention messy.

    ReplyDelete
  23. @Danielle, I would love to have any extra laser cats that you have :)

    @Julie, well you'll at least make it a fancy plunger right?

    ReplyDelete
  24. Right, well I need to come to this wedding because my god the Great Zanthor came to me in my dreams last night and told me I must. Or I will suffer an eternity of servitude washing the cast of Jersey Shore's underwear.

    As a gift I will bring a life sized statue of my god, who when lovingly crooned "My Heart Will Go On" promptly samurai chops any fugly in the area, and than performs a passable interpretive dance.

    ReplyDelete
  25. *backs slowly away from Stephanie and Zanthor* Okay, that sounds like a lovely present...:)

    ReplyDelete
  26. I know right? also comes in pink

    ReplyDelete
  27. @Mrs Chuckie as much as Kitty loves Aerosmith I dont know how much the guests will appreciate watching a puking zombie man sing

    ReplyDelete
  28. @Mrs. Chuckie Reynolds - watch the ageist comments there, chickie. I resemble that remark.

    In fact, that's why I need to attend the wedding: I'm old. It's almost over. Who knows if I'll still be ambulatory by April? I couldn't bear the thought of toddling off to that big ComicCon in the sky without knowing how the wedding story comes out.

    I'm so old I have to keep track of my age in hex. Don't worry, I'll hang on while you children go look it up. Get back to me, okay?

    Weapon? We're not allowed weapons - - or even non-plastic knives - - here at the home. The best I can do is a pair of support socks. Properly applied to the legs of a tripod cane you can get good distance out of those babies!

    ReplyDelete
  29. @ Rich Yeah but if you come everyone will be depressed by the half dead person...I mean its a wedding , nobody needs that kind of downer

    ReplyDelete
  30. @Stephanie - Half dead? Balderdash! Just the other days I got grounded for playing Ring Around The Wheelchairs with some of those cute widows!

    My motto is "Boggie Till You Croak"! Betcha I'll be the only one in the place who can still Charleston!!

    ReplyDelete
  31. @Rich, nice use of the word balderdash and you've made me want to go out and play ring around the wheelchairs.

    And if you are really half dead/less ambulatory, I'm sure they can stick you in a corner somewhere or have some nice A-C nurse take care of you. :)

    ReplyDelete
  32. @Anne "I need to attend this wedding cause I don't have a valentine this year so some alien man candy would be much appreciated."

    LOL that's pretty much what I was going to say :) But don't get me wrong Gini, I love my 4 clones ;P I'll even take'em with me, but of course they've have name changes. Sometimes when they all annoy me though I go with big, bigger, biggest and bigger than biggest rofl

    As for a wedding present? hmm my mom. No that's not a joke, because she's pretty much Siryn from x men but she doesn't need to scream for her voice to go sonic lol the woman can't whisper! SERIOUSLY. She loses her voice when it's lower than loud.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I would love to win and attend the wedding ... I'll get my drool catcher ready for all the A-C hotties that will be there.

    Let me see, I think I'll make some bedazzled hairspray holsters so Kitty'll be able to whip those out quickly. I'm sure there are times when she doesn't want to hide her weapon, she needs to flaunt her power sometimes!

    ReplyDelete
  34. @Becky - Get with the program there, kiddo. It's that whippersnapper who mentioned "half dead." Little does she know...

    A nurse? A nurse??? I'd wear the poor thing to a frazzle in no time! We need to at least play "Tag-Team The Geezer" until they catch on and send out for reinforcements.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I'm a bit of a pessimist when it comes to love, but this wedding could change that. What better way to suddenly see the magic wonderfulness that is marriage, then to attend Kitty and Jeff's wedding? If that can't move a non-believer, I don't know what could, and that's why I need to attend. I might also try and kidnap Reader and Gower, but that's really not important.

    I'd bring a Corner Shot Gun as a wedding gift. That way Kitty can get in the action and still make Martini feel like she's going to stay safe. I want to help him keep that cute dream alive.

    ReplyDelete
  36. @Rich, I would like to interject here and say that I am offended by that whole "whippersnapper" comment(whatever it actually means, my computer doesn't have an Old-Speak translator)

    Furthermore, I remain convinced that your presence would simply be dull, no matter how energetic your geriatric boogieing

    ReplyDelete
  37. I need to attend to this wedding because... I ever got the chance to got in a alien wedding? No! This is going to be awesome! And legendary! hahahaha
    I would bring a whip. I mean... It's really useful in and out of the bedroom XDDD

    ReplyDelete
  38. I need to attend this wedding because I love aliens! Seriously, check out my website for proof. Even though my favorite, Martini, is getting married, I'm positive there will be plenty of other hot A/Cs to go around.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I've never been to a Wedding, but usually give good gifts. *G* I'd love to attend Kitty and Jeff's wedding and deserve to attend because I have talked a good friend into reading all about Kitty and Martini's adventures! *g*
    And for a gift? Matching sunglasses for Kitty and Martini that have a laser beam built in that can melt and burn any Big Baddie!

    ReplyDelete
  40. @Stephanie - So let me see...you don't know what it means, but you're offended anyway? See, in my day we didn't have this new-fangled things like Gurgle searches and soforth. We used an old technique called "knowing shit." Since that hasn't caught on with you young people, allow me to elucidate:

    whip·per·snap·per noun \ˈhwi-pÉ™r-ËŒsna-pÉ™r, ˈwi-\
    : a diminutive, insignificant, or presumptuous person

    Being a polite type I, of course, was using it in the third sense. That's especially appropriate given your belief in my dullness despite your total lack of facts on the subject.

    Old Power!

    ReplyDelete
  41. @Anne, @Camille I'm not sure that indentured servitude aka giving your mom or sister away as a present would be the best wedding gift. :)

    ReplyDelete
  42. @Rich, Touché Rich, but you know this means war.
    Now I know you must be ancient as is evidenced by the fact that you called GOOGLE Gurgle. I am shocked that you could even type with hands as ancient and gnarled as yours must be.

    And truly no polite person uses that word for feces, it is uncouth!
    I shall comfort myself knowing that long after you are gone I will be riding in my hover car with my pet Saber tooth tiger clone and dreaming about my vacation to the Mars Resort and Spa

    Team Youth!

    ReplyDelete
  43. Another gift idea would be coffee pot that comes from starbucks. It would help keep Kitty caffinated and its something that she can use daily.The coffee pot would also be decorated in some of her fave bands.

    I want to come to the wedding of the century and see some of those Hot AC.Plus I haven't been dancing for some time.

    ReplyDelete
  44. @Stephanie - What makes you think that I can use my hands for typing anymore? I'll leave it to your imagination what I'm actually hitting these keys with. (And we won't even think about discussing what made my hands so gnarled! Us Really Old Types are noted for being polite, you know.)

    It would seem to me that even a Decade-illy Challenged type such as yourself should recognize that the word "feces" is contextually inappropriate as a synonym for the expression I used. You must be a product of one of those "Who cares if the students can communicate effectively as long as their hearts are in the right place and they feel good about themselves" schools for the perpetually underemployed.

    I don't begrudge you the trip to Mars. Hasty la visties, and all that. Here's a packing tip for you on your dream vacation: don't forget that 55 gallon drum of SPF9000 sunscreen. Take it from me: wrinkles start to hurt after a while.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Well, not to point out the obvious (duh) here, but since I am the Maid of Honor, don't you think I SHOULD be there?
    I'll even be a good MOH and stock hairspray, Gator Off spray, and Kitty's fully charged iPod in my bra so that if she needs a kickass tune, it's on hand.

    ReplyDelete
  46. @Stephanie and Rich, Get a friggin room!

    @Dren, excellent point about Julie but she could still love some swaggy swag, right? I'll help you mug her if she wins the ARC.

    @Jessica, you and me, we're bagging some babes, girl!

    ReplyDelete
  47. @Becky they'd be happy to fight Aliens, my mom definitely would :) but oh ok if I must, a fire-thrower always comes in handy

    ReplyDelete
  48. @Amber Scott - I already have a room, thanks. They wheel me down to it periodically. Your adjective may or may not be accurate, though, depending how my arthritis is at the moment.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Ok hold up -- I step away for FIVE seconds ... (well ok yeah) overnight and all of a sudden there are wedding crashers?

    I'm off my game! Today is a new day!

    ReplyDelete
  50. And Wedding Crashers not BEARING GIFTS?!?!?!

    RELEASE THE HOUNDS!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  51. @Amber - well I really like Julie and she shared Alien Tango with me on a book tour. So while I won't hold her down if she wins -- I could certainly.....trip her.

    ReplyDelete
  52. @Julie - but it would be a NICE trip. I'll toss a pillow down for you to break your fall.

    *as I snatch the ARC from your hands and run like hell!*

    ReplyDelete
  53. @Dren -- You are so kind to break my fall with a pillow.

    I'll be hiding the book in special spot :) But I will sharing with chocolate with all the hounds so I can keep the book safe with me. :)

    ReplyDelete
  54. @Dren, hey, I can play nice. You trip her, I'll tickle her, you run with the ARC so long as you share.

    @Julie, there is no hiding Martini from me. I sniff him out.

    @Rich, my adjective may not be accurate? Gee, ouch. Here, let me fluff that pillow for you...

    ReplyDelete
  55. @Amber, @Dren, @Julie - well with all this talk of pillows it won't be long before a pillow fight breaks out. *starts swinging pillow menacingly back and forth*

    ReplyDelete
  56. @becky @dren @amber

    Don't the AC's like pillow fights Naughty girl laugh. #justsayin

    ReplyDelete
  57. True, I guess that gives us all the more reason to start a pillow fight. :)

    ReplyDelete
  58. *waves pillow around menacingly looking for interlopers*.

    Doesn't seem to be anybody here right now...I shall just watch and wait and maybe add books to the pillowcase for more weight.

    *starts adding hardcover copies of the 4th Harry Potter book to my pillowcase*

    ReplyDelete
  59. @Amber Oh yes we are, but I'm sure it will be a fight for them. ;)

    I forgot to write my gift last time. I would bring a bottle of Fooey. It's supposed to prevent cats and dogs from chewing things like cords and your shoes. The stuff tastes absolutely horrible, but it would be great for Kitty and Jeff to have if they get pets. I'd love to see what it does to a Fugly too.

    I'd also bring something more practical like a frying pan. It can be used as a weapon on almost anything.

    ReplyDelete
  60. @Jessica *SLAMMING HAND ON BUZZER* bannnnnnnt!

    I'll take "Which animal hater will not be invited to the wedding of animal lovers, Alex" *gives Jessica the side eye*

    You forgot that Kitty's family has like 5 dogs? Nasty mouth stuff would NOT be tolerated!!

    YO BECKY!!! I think we've got our first book pillow target!!!

    ReplyDelete
  61. @Jessica that deserves a *THWACK*

    LOL

    ReplyDelete
  62. @Dren,
    yep perfect target.
    *starts spinning pillow case for maximum whomping power*

    ReplyDelete
  63. Jessica Subjet, my kitties think that "Fooey" stuff is like catnip. Plus Kitty and family have dogs and cats. They're probably invited to the wedding!

    ReplyDelete
  64. (Runs in screaming twirling corded mouse in the air)

    @Brandy *THWACK*THWACK*THWACK*

    *points to Becky*

    SHE MADE ME DO IT!!!

    (exit stage left) *roadrunner leg noises for this part)

    ReplyDelete
  65. @Dren, i agree that Julie shouldn't be allowed to play in this one since she one the last ARC.

    I should come to this wedding because it will be the biggest and best wedding EVER. for a weapon i would bring a bottle of the Everlast Hairspray and a lighter. then a tennis ball launcher. Change the motor on the tennis ball launcher so it launches the balls at close to the speed of a bullet. then change the tennis balls out with frozen racket balls that have been filled with gasoline. then you put the hairspray at the mouth of the launcher with the lighter. any fugglies show up will get hit with a flaming racket ball that will the explode on them.

    ReplyDelete
  66. @Dragon .... ummm... WOW..

    For some reason I keep picturing you foaming at the mouth when you wrote all of that.

    *THWACK* (limp wrist style)

    ReplyDelete
  67. @Dren,
    wow, I almost fell out of my chair laughing when I read your previous comment.

    @everybody else, the lesson to learn here with a serial thwacker in the room is to always wear a helmet.

    *spins around in my bedazzled helmet, pillowcase full of books in hand and waits for the next onslaught of madness.*

    ReplyDelete
  68. @Brandy,
    Yep I would hop that the animals are invited to the wedding. Duchess the pit bull would make an awesome ring bearer. :)

    ReplyDelete
  69. @Dren, So what if i was slightly foaming at the mouth? i was making sure that everyone had a good understanding of what my weapon was to i woudln't get a hug amount of comments asking huh or what about it.

    Oh and didnt you learn during the last giveaway, the mouse hits dont hurt me.

    ReplyDelete
  70. @Dragon- If i ask nice will you make me one of those launchers? It sounds awesome and I'm sure I can find find a use for it.

    ReplyDelete
  71. @Stephanie, Yeah I'm sure i could make one of those launchers for you. As long as you dont try to give it as a gift at the wedding.

    ReplyDelete
  72. @Dragon, Hell no! all for me

    ReplyDelete
  73. @Dragon, Ps Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  74. Mrs. Chuckie ReynoldsFebruary 15, 2011 at 3:25 PM

    @Stephanie, who cares what the guests will like or not. The gift is for Kitty and if she will love it, then that's all that matters!

    @Rich - I LOVE that you resemble that remark! :)I by no means am an ageist (I'm 26 but feel like an old soul). I love the not-so-young in body, but oh-so-young in spirit (ring around the wheelchair? LOVE IT)! But let's face it, Steven has seen his share of years! And it shows... now if I brought Beiber (which I wouldn't!) that would be something new! LOL

    ReplyDelete
  75. @Stephanie, Oh ok then yeah i could make one for you too. Your welcome.

    ReplyDelete
  76. @Dragon, I would ask for one of your super weapons but I'm afraid that I'd blow myself up. So I'll stick to my reinforced pillowcase full of heavy books perfect for swinging.

    ReplyDelete
  77. This comment has been removed by the author.

    ReplyDelete
  78. Wow, what is going on here
    *stands alone in a corner* I kind of feel like a wallflower

    Anyway, gift, I am so bad with gift, i usually just ask and ask until they give me an answer. So let's just bring some Finnish Vodka to throw at fuglies

    And of course I forget something...why I would love to come, well duh, hot men!

    ReplyDelete
  79. @Becky, you would only have to worry about the can of hairspray blowing up.

    ReplyDelete
  80. @dren

    what you don't know is that I have a pink taser that has sparklies and I intend to use it if I get whacked on my head.

    Slowly getting up and see you limping away because some threw some books at in a pillow case.

    Ducks into corner since having the last ARC seems to be a bad thing

    Sharing the coffee pot with Kitty and the gang :)

    ReplyDelete
  81. @Mrs. Chuckie Reynolds - Pardon my ignorance, but what's a Beiber? Is it any relation to Leave It To Beiber? I've heard comments about it making a droning noise and exciting young girls. Does it need batteries?

    ReplyDelete
  82. @Julie, nice gotta love the pink taser (just like Evie in Paranormalcy)

    A coffee pot also might make a good weapon, throwing coffee or the whole pot maybe. :)

    ReplyDelete
  83. @Amber Scott - I already had my pillows fluffed, thanks very much. Say...do you have fluffy pillows???

    ReplyDelete
  84. @Julie, well I think we'll need your taser to revive Rich after Amber sees the comment that he just wrote.

    ReplyDelete
  85. @Becky - Am I supposed to be awed by a taser? How do you think they wake me up in the morning? And besides, what's so bad about a simple domestic inquiry?

    ReplyDelete
  86. @becky well since I have girls & girls rule

    ReplyDelete
  87. Mrs. Chuckie ReynoldsFebruary 15, 2011 at 7:09 PM

    @Rich. I don't know what this "Beiber" thing is. Some say it's a boy. Some say it's a girl. I doubt it runs on batteries. Unfortunately it runs on young girl excitement. No not related to "Leave it to Beaver." But don't shop around that idea, someone might think it would be wonderful and put the Beiber on tv! Heavens forbid!!!
    One day everyone will wake up from the nightmare and realize Beiber is a fugly!

    ReplyDelete
  88. @Rich, oh nothing at all, we'll just have to see what Amber says. :)

    ReplyDelete
  89. @Becky - I wait in quivering anticipation.

    ReplyDelete
  90. Well, enough of this "waiting for Amber" excitement is enough. We're getting a hot game of Spin The Specimin Bottle going down in the solarium, and I'm the guest of honor. Mustn't keep the ladies waiting...

    ReplyDelete
  91. @All, Beiber is a fugly that looks like a girl. Get the fugly everyone.

    ReplyDelete
  92. @Dragon, I'm in. I suspect his plan is to take over the world with an army of shrieking girl tweens.

    ReplyDelete
  93. @Rich, have the nurse turn your hearing aide up, hon. I don't think my sarcasm is coming thru. Or maybe I just need it louder with that pillow on your face? Begrudgingly...LOL on the Beiber, though. PS, she doesn't mean carpet either.

    @Dren, still got that sack o' Potter? Can I borrow it a sec?

    @Jessica, Can we get some Fooey for Gators? Or the Poofs? I can't help thinking of them as sweet little fur balls that get into a LOT of mischief. The Creator is likely laughing her pants off right now, but hey. Whatevs, right?

    @Julie, forget the fools who say you can't play. Just remember the clever bitches like me if you do.

    ReplyDelete
  94. @Dren, *corded mice rule*??? All the better to spank thy computer with?

    ReplyDelete
  95. @ Stephanie, I believe you would be right. Although shrieking girls would be an easier army to defeat than just about any army i could think of.

    @ Amber, I beleive it was Becky who has the Sack o' Potter not Dren.

  96. @Stephanie - Don't be so sure on the shreiking girls. As someone who once sat in an aisle seat in front of the stage at a Donnie Osmond concert, let me assure you that you've never been run over until you've been run over by hundreds of screaming 12 year olds!

    ReplyDelete
  97. @Dragon, Your probably right, but I know I would feel guilty punching a twelve year old in the face.

    @Rich, Despite your questionable musical taste, I have to agree, their greatest threat is in their numbers.

    ReplyDelete
  98. @Stephanie, totally with you on the whole Beiber being an alien.

    But so what if the alien looks like a twelve year old? You have to be willing to punch it anyway. :)

    ReplyDelete
  99. @Dragon, Thanks! Here I thought Dren took it from her and was hitting everyone with it.

    @Becky, ROFL. So true. Clock that Alien!

    ReplyDelete
  100. @Amber, yep still have my bag of books weapon and a helmet to ward against attack from other weapons.

    And yeah anyone who watched the Men in Black movies knows that aliens can look like anyone. :)

    ReplyDelete
  101. @Becky, Crap, I didn't really think about that, I guess I will just have to live with the guilt :)

    ReplyDelete
  102. Okay, everyone. I really wasn't thinking Fooey for the animals. I was thinking more as a weapon against the Fuglies. I used to work at a pet store and many customers told us it didn't work on cats. Yes, like catnip to them. One of my coworkers accidently licked some off her hand and said the stuff was horrible.

    So, I guess I'll have to go back to the drawing board. Maybe I'll just show up with a cute little puppy or kitten. When it gets older, it can save Kitty and Martini from the Fuglies.

    ReplyDelete
  103. @All, I just want to state for the record, here, so that you all can verify, should any strange and bizarre and painful accident befall Rich in the next 24 hours that I am home, will be the whole time, will not leave and no did not have him offed. K? Cool. Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  104. To All: I'm sorry if you took offence to the Fooey. It's only meant to keep animals from hurting themselves by chewing electrical wires or eating stuff that can cause blockages. We NEVER want that to happen.

    I think I'm still going with the kitten or puppy idea. Now I just need to decide what kind. Perhaps I'll have a chat with Christopher.

    ReplyDelete
  105. Jessica Subject, no offense taken with the fooey. I just think it's hilarious cats treat it like catnip! *G*

    Dren, stop thwaking me! I'll borrow the sunglasses I'm giving to Martini and Kitty and melt that sucker down! *g*

    ReplyDelete
  106. @Jessica, well I just like saying the word fooey. :)

    *spins my bag of books around while singing fooey fooey fooey.*

    ReplyDelete
  107. @amber thanks and still hiding with my pink taser and trying to find GINI so i can read that book because I know its hiding around here.

    Looks under chairs, tables, near sound system, and bathroom for the ARC

    ReplyDelete
  108. @Stephanie - Ain't nothing wrong with my musical tastes, thank you. I was being paid to be there. Had I known the dangers involved in the assignment, I would have negotiated a better rate. (And if you want to go into lists of People Who Got Screamed At, I also saw David Cassidy, Elvis, and a bunch of others. I may be old, but I got around in my day.)

    ReplyDelete
  109. @All - Just so you should all know, for the next 48 hours (just in case Amber's level of accuracy can't be trusted) I will have on me at all times - - clutched in my poor, gnarled, arthitic hands - - a note blaming Amber (by name) for any misfortunes that might befall me. Even if I fall because they over-waxed the hallway in The Home again...Amber's name will be on everybody's lips.

    By the way, that's a hex 48. If you didn't know it the first time, you still don't.

    ReplyDelete
  110. @Julie, I'm pretty sure that the ARC won't be hidden near the bathroom but you never know, maybe we should check under the floor boards?

    ReplyDelete
  111. @Rich, AW! You're so sweet. I love getting love notes. Hold on to it tightly, love. Very tightly, in nice, brightly lit rooms.

    @Jessica, I love the Fooey. Do they make it for husbands? But not for electric cords?

    ReplyDelete
  112. @Becky, Julie, I know where the ARC is hidden.

    ReplyDelete
  113. @Becky, Julie, I know where the ARC is hidden.

    ReplyDelete
  114. @all, sorry for double post.

    ReplyDelete
  115. @Becky, Ha who said I was going to tell where it was hidden. Huh?

    ReplyDelete
  116. @Dragon, well you're probably just bluffing anyway. :)

    ReplyDelete
  117. @Becky, Haha. do you remember during the last give away a person going by mattp who kept going on about links to gini and special information and knowledge?

    ReplyDelete
  118. @Becky, well to follow up my previous post. He (mattp) is I.

    ReplyDelete
  119. @Dragon, well, okay then. :)

    * starts doing warm ups twirling my bag of books back and forth to get to top whomping speed all while singing Eye of the Tiger*

    ReplyDelete
  120. @Becky, you can warm up all you want. But good luck dodging my flaming racket balls. *turns luncher on Becky*

    ReplyDelete
  121. @Dragon, you may not know this but my pillow case that is holding the books is flame proof and will just make an effective hitting device to send them back at you.

    - not sure what this luncher you speak of is, I imagine a gun that shoots out hamburgers or something. :)

    *watching closely, spinning and whomping the flaming racket ball right back at you. All while now singing This is the song that doesn't end...*

    ReplyDelete
  122. @Becky, The launcher im speaking of is the weapon i was talking about giving to kitty and jeff for a wedding present. The one you thought was awesome that you thought would explode and hurt you. So the pillow case is flame proof, but i doubt the big giant things made of paper are flame proof.

    ReplyDelete
  123. @Dragon, well the books are inside of the pillowcase so they too are flame proof :)

    *goes and finds a fire extinguisher for the fires that dragon is sure to cause with their weapon of choice.*

    ReplyDelete
  124. still searching the wedding hall for that book. But I have my taser and will use it:) if I keep getting tripped over on.

    Small and mighty will over come :)

    ReplyDelete
  125. @Julie, it's probably in a ziplock bag or something inside of the cake or maybe stowed away in some nice A-C's suit coat.

    Don't worry I'll stay far away from your taser just watch out for Dragon's flaming racket balls.

    *searching for the book's hiding place while dodging flaming balls, and avoiding Julie's taser.*

    Bwah ha ha ha ha the real arc shall be mine:)

  127. @Becky, yeah good luck with your plan. i doubt julie will be fooled by a a postcard taped on top of a random book. Keep in mind real ARC are bigger than the normal books.

  130. @Rich no these are some of the best immortal words of Monty Python:

    *starts singing, I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts...*

    ReplyDelete
  131. @ Rich/Becky Ha! The best and most immortal words of Monty Python are in fact:
    "(French accent)Would you like a wafer thin slice of ham?"

    ReplyDelete
  132. If I come my gift if likely to come pre-chewed and pre-shredded. Hopefully a little fur thrown in is OK too. (I have my own killer kitties, one of which has had this http://www.campbellpet.com/product.aspx?func=view&prodID=42 used on him)

    ReplyDelete
  133. OMG I step away and dragon's pop up WHAT IN THE HAM FAT?? Gosh I thought this was SMACK TALK come on y'all Gini wants to LAFF!!

    *pacing the room for ideas*

  134. LOL @Amber -- you want to melt the mighty mouse? NEVA!!! It's already THWACKED it's way into infamy. :)

    ReplyDelete
  135. Come on guys, think about it - MY Gift - the most beautifully gold and jewel encrusted corded mouse is REUSABLE! Oh man I'll even take it ups a notch - with a stretchy cord! Imagine the boing on that kinda THWACK! Fuglies wouldn't stand a chance!*THWOING!!!*

    ReplyDelete
  136. @Rich/Becky/Stephanie, I think one of the best monty pythons is near the end of "search for the holly grail". " well is it an afriacan swallow or a european swallow? Well I don't know that. ( screaming as he goes flying off the bridge). "

    @Dren, stretchy mouse would be a fun toy for a cat.

    ReplyDelete
  137. @nightsongfire well then what exactly would your gift be?

    ReplyDelete
  138. I think I'll add Poof carriers to my gift list. I've decided to guess that since this next book is all about the poofs that they are cute, friendly hairballs that accidentally get into mischief, Gremlin style.
    So little portable jails will work really well.

    ReplyDelete
  139. @Dren, well my gift is reusable too, you just have to add more fuel to the flamethrower eventually. :)

    ReplyDelete
  140. @Amber, how do you know about these poof things?

    ReplyDelete
  141. @Becky, yeah just don't blow your self up when you add fuel to the flamethower.

    ReplyDelete
  142. @Becky, actually changed my last comment. Don't be careful. *muahhaha, less people I have to deal with to get my ARC. Muahaha*

    ReplyDelete
  143. I will have to come to the wedding to keep all those fangirls in check and protect Martini from them. Can't have one of them running off with him or Kitty might be left at the altar just as happened to Voodoo Bride.

    As for a weapon: I think I'll track down one of my cousins and bring him/her as a present. A McPig is a weapon in him/herself and best thing is: when we're not needed as weapon we're very nice and cuddly company. And as we're not into humans or non-piglike aliens both Kitty and Martini have nothing to worry about.

    ReplyDelete
  144. @Dragon, don't make me whomp you with my bag of heavy books.

    *planning a sneak attack on Dragon that may or may not involve dropping a heavy book from a great height*

    ReplyDelete
  145. @Becky, haha goodluck with the books. Im very thick headed. When I was younger, and very accident prone, I would accidnetly run into walls and my parents would ask if the wall was ok. Also when I just started college I ran into a cement over hang above some steps. There is a physical dent in the cement over hang from where my head it. So haha good luck with the books.

    ReplyDelete
  146. @ Dragon okay then...

    *contemplating Dragon's brain that may or may not be damaged. Starts spinning bag of books for a more direct whomping approach*

    ReplyDelete
  147. @Dragon, It's a guess, babe. Bet I'm right, though!

    @Becky, get 'em in the belly!

    ReplyDelete
  148. @Amber I'm not sure if they make any for husbands, but the people I know who have accidently gotten it one their hands say it's horrible. Think pepper, only much stronger and more bitter. I'd hate to know what it would do if someone got it in their eyes, hence the perfect Fugly weapon.

    ReplyDelete
  149. @becky that post card isn't the real deal , but I think you might whack me over with all those books in the pillow for the book.

    Still looking for martini and gang , and packing my pink taser because so not wanting fuglies after me. I have to deal with kids .

    ReplyDelete
  150. @Amber, sounds like a good idea. :) I shall defeat the dragon.

    *Puts on camouflage to improve my sneak attack powers*

    ReplyDelete
  151. @Amber, haha you have a good guess.

    @Becky, yeah stomach would work. It will work really well to get me to throw up on you. Think exorcist style of like continuous stream that hits like 7 feet away.

    ReplyDelete
  152. @Becky, Oh and i never said i wasn't brain damaged or had brain damage.

    ReplyDelete
  153. @Dragon, wow I shall have to work on a long range attack if you're going to start projectile vomiting.

    I meant that after having heavy books thrown at you that you may get brain damage, unless you wear a helmet :)

    ReplyDelete
  154. @Becky, Haha maybe. i would be more worried about what damage my head would do to your books. You may laugh and think im kidding but im not. Haha with my thick head,jki dont need helmet.

    ReplyDelete
  155. @Dragon, Wow are you really Juggernaut or something? :)

    ReplyDelete
  156. @Becky, haha maybe, maybe.

    ReplyDelete
  157. @Becky, ew, vomit sucks. Just run fast and swing hard at the sac. The jewels. Or, the curtains as the case may be.

    ReplyDelete
  158. @Amber, sounds like a good idea.

    *puts on protective vomit proof suit and prepares for attack*

    ReplyDelete
  159. @Amber, Curtains?

    @Becky, Well what ever you may be attacking, good luck, i dont think it will work.

    ReplyDelete
  160. Ok, meant to comment earlier but I forgot. I should get an invite to the wedding because you need guests aren't currently familiar with the bride and groom. Like a guest's plus 1. I haven't read the series but my books are in the mail. As a guest's plus 1 I would hope my date would be prepared with the fugly weapons to protect me. :)

    ReplyDelete
  161. @joanna, Yeah I don't think just depending on your date will be enough to save you from the fugglies.

    @Becky/Amber, Bring it ladies. My hard head and other abilities will protect me as I take you down. *Starts shooting flaming racket balls at Becky and Amber.*

    ReplyDelete
  162. Sneaks up behind Dragon, twirling mouse over head *THWOING**THWOING**THWOING* I mean Seriously Becky and Amber are mah gurls -- can't let you just rollup on them like that!

    *pulling out water hose* This is for your flaming racket balls!

    *flashing strobe light on myself*

    Yeah... that's right... total self promotion here!!

    ReplyDelete
  165. @Gini - you KNOW I'm heading to this wedding right? I've already got my outfit picked out along with a matching "Wonder Sak" - yes my very own version of Kitty's handbag. It will have enough room for Corded Mice for the ENTIRE wedding party!! WOOOOOOOT!!!

    ReplyDelete
  166. @Dren, thanks for the back up against Dragon. :)

    Time for a new plan to fight the Dragon,
    *humming the mission impossible theme song, starts to set up booby traps of heavy books above doorways where Dragon has been seen*

    ReplyDelete
  167. Whoop! Glad I'm getting to the wedding just under the deadline. I'm bringing a pair of VR 3D sunglasses for Martini loaded with all seasons of Fantasy Island and Love Boat. For Kitty, I've captured a small black hole suitable for sewing into her purse so she can carry even more stuff!

    ReplyDelete
  168. Don't know if my RSVP got lost in the mail or made it, so I'm here to confirm in person that I will definitely attend the weddinga nd the banquet! Wouldn't miss it for the world!! :-D

    ReplyDelete
  169. @Dren, seriously have you learned the mice hits don't work on me.

    ReplyDelete
  170. @Dren, I hope you do win I really do. Now can you figure out why I want you to win?

    ReplyDelete
  171. @Becky, seriously same thing with Dren. Have you not learned that hits to my head don't do anything. *starts swing doors open and diving through.*

    ReplyDelete
  172. @Stella, glad you could join the party, *shoots flaimg racket ball at you*. That's there not saying what you are bringing. *shoots another flaming ball*. That's for joining the party right at the end of the contest.

    ReplyDelete
  173. @Dren, Oh and the water house wont pit out the flaming racket balls. I coated them with greek fire. *shoots flaming racket ball at Dren LMAO as Dren hits ball with water and quantity of fire exponetially grows insanely.*

    ReplyDelete
  174. Well, starting to think that Dragon may be a fugly in disguise or at the least a threat to homeland security.

    *goes off to load up on some pens in case of manifestation.*

    ReplyDelete
  175. @Dragon, if you don't know what curtains I mean, maybe it means you're a dude. Although, methinks a dude WOULD know. So, does this dude look like a lady? Hmmmm?

    @Dren, You rock! Spray that beyotch!

    ReplyDelete
  176. I need these books to arrive soon!
    You guys are great good luck to you! You should be in the bridal party!

    ReplyDelete
  178. @Becky, haha not fugly in disguise. As far as I know, not a threat to HS.

    @Amber, oh those curtains. Now I know what you mean. Haha no im not a beiber. Oh and did you not see my comment about greek fire to Dren?

    ReplyDelete
  179. I need to attend this wedding party because I think it will be really different from any other party. I'd love to take part of something awesome.

    I think Taser weapon is enough. Who know what will happen in the party. regarding the one who attend. But I will put it in the button of my purse.

    Talk about the gift, I would bring anything that glow in the dark.

    ReplyDelete
  180. I have to attend this wedding because I can't wait to see ihow is going to get screwed up. (Does that make me evil??

    What would I bring? A scary looking katana, so if some flugly gets too close to me I can chop it's head off.

    ReplyDelete
  181. It's been nice sparring with you all :)
