<p>Perfect^^^</p>
<p>Can we fit in ‘x’ slackers slacking? (Any empty number would be fine with me).</p>
<p>I think our 12 Days of… is shaping up very well.</p>
<p>Too bad about all the cc-ers who have no idea what they are missing due to being scared to enter SA.</p>
<p>Love the sons a-grunting*. Glad I only have one, not seven, at jmhouse.</p>
<p>*Love all the other properly vetted additions as well.</p>
<p>Sinners rule.
(but we knew that)</p>
<p>slackers slacking is exactly the kind of noun/verbage we need!</p>
<p>I like slackers slacking… some other ideas below. </p>
<p>X hot tubs bubbling
X dames a-kvetching (though “a-flashing” has a better double entendre)
X marmots fetching (solving?)
X evil neighbors
X sluggs regaling
X lurkers laughing
X peeps a-jousting (just for you mootmom)
X men a-burning
X page two rescues ** I like this one</p>
<p>We need FEEEEEEDBAAAACK! Vote for your top five and we’ll have our damn song! 
Then we can get back to lushes drinking.</p>
<p>femmes a-flashing if we want to keep the alliteration going.
men a-burning I like too
also page two rescues
and sluggs
and marmots
and peeps but wait that is more than five…
Maybe the marmots are singing along with us so they don’t need to be in the song?
And I really like slackers slacking…hmmm. How to choose, how to choose.</p>
<p>I like this direction.</p>
<p>I like them all…lol. Definitely include slackers slacking, dames (femmes) a-flashing, lurkers laughing (I was a lurker for many months), and sluggs regaling (she’s the one that caught my interest initially). </p>
<p>I agree with Alumother, if there’s no room for them in the song, the marmots can join in the singing.</p>
<p>On the 12th day of Christmas, my good friends gave to me:</p>
<p>12 page two rescues
11 sluggs regaling
10 men a-burning
9 marmots fetching
8 slackers slacking
7 sons a-grunting
6 femmes a flashing
5 enooooormous driiiinks!
4 stalling nerds
3 french men
2 italian soccerplayers
and a pack of Naked Man Playing Cards</p>
<p>ROUGH DRAFT feel free to embellish!!</p>
<p>Well, I did really like the girls a-texting as a nice counterpoint to the sons a-grunting. </p>
<p>Hmm, but what to sacrifice? Could we possibly, maybe, change those Naked Man Playing Cards to Naked Marmot Playing Cards?.. freeing up the #9 position for the texting girls?</p>
<p>jmmom, agreed.^^</p>
<p>or we could sacrifice slackers slacking because stalling nerds and grunting sons kinds covers the boys, or femmes a flashing could go too…</p>
<p>Let’s get a consensus… Jump in everyone…</p>
<p>YES! Naked Marmot Cards! Marmots even scan better. <em>says Alumother singing this little ditty to herself very very very quietly in her place of employment</em></p>
<p>That way we won’t scare away any new parents who wander in for solace and are afraid it’s a den of iniquity. Which it is of course, but why flaunt it?</p>
<p>Ah. Feels good to have a little chuckle right about now. And a big glass of Cabernet to follow soon after.</p>
<p>^^yes! I agree! Great job, you guys…now, I’m finally getting in the mood to start decorating. :)</p>
<p>Yeah, I like the naked marmot playing cards…marmots fetching wasn’t doing it for me… so, is it 9 girls a-texting?</p>
<p>OK, I’ll reluctantly sacrifice MY Naked Man Playing Cards for Naked Marmots…gotta admit, it’s funnier.</p>
<p>I’m not totally happy with 9 men a-burning, however. We already have 3 French men. Change it to 9 girls a-texting.</p>
<p>Edit: that was 10 men a-burning. </p>
<p>Can’t think of any other possibilities, tho, without going into forbidden territory…college apps, tours, etc.</p>
<p>Can we do tour guides touring?</p>
<p>10 Barcaloungers!</p>
<p>Love the 10 Barcaloungers; and I am sure they are Genuine Naugahyde.</p>
<p>Well, I venture to guess that the men a-burning are a nod to our Burning Man devotees. </p>
<p>They’ve got their own corner somewhere in here. So you might have a fight on your hands over their disappearance from the ditty. </p>
<p>I do happen to l-o-v-e the Barcaloungers.</p>
<p>Personally I could do without the femmes a-flashing. Who wants to be reminded of that?!?</p>
<p>I was sorta thinking men a-burning was both (a) NYABM and (b) P2N, cur, M&S et al when we talk about female things…</p>
<p>DRAFT TWO:</p>
<p>On the 12th day of Christmas, my good friends gave to me:</p>
<p>12 page two rescues
11 sluggs regaling
10 men a-burning
9 daughters texting
8 slackers slacking
7 sons a-grunting
6 femmes a-flashing
5 enooooormous driiiinks!
4 stalling nerds
3 french men
2 italian soccerplayers
and a pack of Naked Marmot Playing Cards</p>
<p>Well, if the Barcaloungers don’t make the cut :(, we can at least sit in our Barcaloungers for the sing-a-long.</p>
<p>OK- Putting in my vote here-
Since mommusic started this song in the first place with her naked man playing cards- I think it definitely ought to stay that way for the first day of Christmas. My suggestion for a change, as I dont quite get the femmes a flashing-- so how about we say 6 marmots dancing?</p>
