<p>m&sdad - thanks! my first audible laugh of the day ;)</p>
<p>Well, I understand completely, p2n. A friend of mine has 4 daughters, mostly grown, and they will always be his “girls.” Within the family, it’s an appropriate term of endearment.</p>
<p>In the office, however, is another matter…</p>
<p>See? It was my turn and now they (the chicks - m&sdad’s term!) feel better. ;)</p>
<p>None of us here put titles behind our names, though certainly many of us could. I sure don’t. Especially on this particular thread with it’s informal, good-natured tone. It was meant with warmth and fun.</p>
<p>Though we are strangers, I for one begin to get a sense of some of the posters. This is probably common.</p>
<p>Ditto what bhappymom said- I laughed out loud to your “boys” line. Now as for the “chicks”… hmmmmm… </p>
<p>Another one that should be annoying but is ultimately flattering is “young lady”… (unless it is a serious lecherous old geezer saying it. then… blech…)</p>
<p>p2n - It was probably that damn juke box in the corner playing an endless loop of “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” - bartend go give it a kick will ya? </p>
<p>Personally I think of myself as a “Goil” said in a Popeye the Sailor accent… :D</p>
<p>So from all us Goils, Grils, Ladies, Ladies of the Night, Pole Dancin Tramps, Wimmnn, Most Particular High Society Dames, People of the Alley (Did I forget anyone? 
) Here, just for you, is one of the specialties of the house “The Shirley Temple Wallbanger”…(don’t ask 
)</p>
<p>^ You rock. :)</p>
<p>(No, jym. I did NOT call her some form of crystallized mineral.)</p>
<p>(yeah - I’m a diamond in the rough…but great clarity!) :)</p>
<p>jmmom,</p>
<p>Marmots in transit…</p>
<p>see p.m.</p>
<p>Marmots can fly?</p>
<p>The marmots got stuck in the duct tape…</p>
<p>Are marmots bringing party invitations?</p>
<p>Some times I really wish this forum allowed image posting…I’d like see to the invite m&sdads D would put together. And not all of us know how to host our own web server and post our own brilliantly Photoshopped images and put the link together with the appropriate VB goodies like the tech gurus here do.</p>
<p>I love this thread. I’ve been on CC for almost two hours after having not been on in months, and I read a bit of this thread and pieces of classics like the CC parties, CCers anonymous, and other fun ones. A few things I must point out:</p>
<ol>
<li> The invisble thread was closed right after I posted. I must be a real troublemaker! With all of my colors, crazy sizes, and smilies!!!</li>
<li> I noticed that jmmom was proud that she had under 8 posts/day, and now she’s below 6/day. Congrats jmmom!</li>
<li> I’m below 1/day! That might eventually change, though. Continue being the 
AKs that you are. And I only know what AK means from this thread.</li>
</ol>
<p>Yemaya,</p>
<p>Where ya been girl? We have missed ya. Ya know we still love ya, but don’t come back messing with our heads. Hey!! are you old enough to drink yet? We’ll just give her the shirley temple with out the wallbanger</p>
<p>OK…I’m WAITING HOME on a Friday night for some lady to come pick up a freezer I sold on Craig’s List for $25. And she’s 45 mintutes late. This is my life?!</p>
<p>
Rest assured, sweetie, it WASN’T you <em>ahem</em>. ;)</p>
<p>Yemaya!!! Welcome back,</p>
<p>Call me a girl, a babe, a wench, a chick— just CALL ME. </p>
<p>Seriously, I could not care a whit about the specific terms; its all in the tone and the intent. “Ms. So&so,” said the wrong way, could be fighting words. And “Hey Toots!” said the right way by the right person could make my day.</p>
<p>When refering to a mixed-sex group I believe the term everyone is searching for is “peeps.” So useful.</p>
<p>My S is playing Neil Young upstairs and it is taking me BAAAAAACK. Southern Comfort anyone?</p>
<p>“Peeps” is good, but “ya’ll” can be nice, too.</p>
<p>Neil Young huh? Oh man, the first alcohol I ever really drank was like a bottle of Southern Comfort. I went to a boarding school. I got so drunk that I took off most of my clothes and tried to run down to the boys dorms. Luckily I was so drunk that I couldn’t:). I woke up with wet hair and asked my roommate why I had wet hair. She asked me didn’t I remember having been put in the shower…</p>
<p>Oik. None of that in Sinner’s Alley. We have drunk insurance - you are guaranteed never to get more than mildly and pleasantly intoxicated. Just call me peepth, slurring my words, but no hangover and no lost memories:)</p>
<p>Yemaya, I remember you. Sit yourself down and have something. Just popcorn if you like, but we don’t guarantee its freshness…</p>
<p>Yemaya, sweetie (hon, dahlin’, peeps, toots… pick your poison)… I got my “welcome back” post in just under the wire on the now defunct thread. But it can’t hurt to repeat. So happy to see you. </p>
<p>Hey guys, a lot of time has passed. Certainly yemaya is old enough for one of our cyber-libations by now!</p>
<p>Here, how about this?
Sombrero<br>
INGREDIENTS:
2 oz Kahlua or coffee brandy
milk or cream
PREPARATION:
Pour the Kahlua or coffee brandy into an ice-filled old-fashioned glass.
Fill with cream or milk. </p>
<p>According to The Bartender’s Black Book “It’s … a nice substitution for a glass of milk.” So I don’t think I can be accused of contributing to the delinquency of minors…</p>
<p>welcome back, yemayah!! Where ya been???</p>
