The Mic Is On: We’re Misbehaving! Well, Sort of . . .
ME Liz Strauss wrote this at 7:00 pm
It’s Like Open Mic Only Different
Here’s how it works.
It’s like any rambling conversation. Don’t try to read it all. Jump in whenever you get here. Just go to the end and start talking. EVERYONE is WELCOME
The rules are simple — be nice.
There are always first timers and new things to talk about. It’s sort of half “Cheers” part “Friends” and part video game. You don’t know how much fun it is until you try it.
Tonight we’re misbehaving — well, sort of . . .
We might also talk about
- things we did as kids
- pranks we pulled with our friends
- funny stuff that happened
- the weirdest situations we got in at school
AND THE EVER POPULAR,
Basil the code-writing donkey, and Milton the Skinny Moose.
–ME “Liz” Strauss

seanrox said
I have arrived… yay… I come with cake, pie so we have tasty things to eat and also a laptop up for grabs.
If the weather permits, I can also man the grill? Liz really likes my BBQ-Fu
Kent Blumberg said
Do you remember water balloons? I think my greatest high school misbehavior had something to do with water balloons, a giant slingshot and the library windows.
ME Strauss said
Well, I hold up my magic mirror and I see . . . SeanRox . . . with cake, pie and tasty things to eat and a LAPTOP!!!
ME Strauss said
I know! I know! You’re here to sell the laptop after you use it to fix my sidebar!! :0
Joe said
Hey seanrox, is that up for grabs like FREE???
Trisha said
I didn’t do anything bad.
ME Strauss said
Or you’re here to sell me and put the laptop in my place.
seanrox said
Joe, no, not free but click the link and get all the tasty details…
Oh and look, I see Liz in my magic mirror too!
I actually see a lot of people…
Kirsten Harrell, Psy.D. said
Hello everyone! I can’t stay long… but thought I would pop in for a bit. Water balloons… sounds fun!
cat said
Hey, Liz, I’m still a kid
ME Strauss said
Hi Kent!
Slingshots and library windows. Someone sweet like Trisha probably got all wet.
Hi Trisha!
ME Strauss said
Cat,
I saw you pop in and thought “Uh-oh, here come some real stories . . .
seanrox said
Kent, water balloons are so much fun…. to this day I love tossing them around…
Kent Blumberg said
Wasn’t too sweet. We hit the assistant principal, who was coming outside to stop us. Then we hit the road in my little green 67 VW bug.
ME Strauss said
Hey Kirsten,
Great to see you. How are you feeling?
Bet you’ll not be pulling any pranks on us tonight!
ME Strauss said
SeanRox,
Watch out! I don’t Joe is reaching for the cake there!
seanrox said
I remember this one time, in band camp… hehe…
I remember as a kid shooting paper clips around with rubber bands… not really safe but when you’re a kid, you do some crazy things.
I still have the scars to prove I was in some serious paper clip fights
Kirsten Harrell, Psy.D. said
I am feeling pretty good… tired, but good. No mood for pranking… although I do have a funny story.
Jessica said
Hi Liz… made it to the opening rather than the ending
like last week. I couldn’t resist talking about memories of being a kid.
seanrox said
Now Joe, the cake and pie is free but the laptop is not.
Watch out, Liz is watching… she’s the nice one but the evil one is always near by… dun dun DUN!
Kent Blumberg said
Seanrox,
other than paperclips,what did you play. In addition to water balloons, I played trombone. Pretty badly as I remember.
Jessica said
seanrox - and spitballs and slingshots
ME Strauss said
Hey, Jessica!
Kid stories are such fun! Glad you made it. I bet you tell a good story. Can you give Cat a run for her money? The story of Jade in the Wizard of OZ is still a Classic around here.
Kirsten Harrell, Psy.D. said
In college my friends and I decided it would be fun to create a waterslide in our dorm hall. We took down all the shower curtains and lined them up one after another down the whole length of the hall. Then we took buckets of soapy water and poured it down the hall. We would then take a running start and dive onto the slippery shower curtain slide and glide all the way down the hall!
It was a riot. A very funny memory of some wild days! 
Jessica said
Kent! so funny I played the trumpet for 2 years. My friend in grade five played the trombone right along side of me.
Jessica said
Liz - The story of Jade in the wizard of ox? hmmm is there a link to such a story?
Joe said
Aww, seanrox, I thought just for me…
Anyway, one of the dumbest things I ever did was play Baseball with Darts and a Broom. If the dart didn’t stick in the broom, it would stick in whatever it hit.
Including me…
seanrox said
Kent, in junior high I was in the choir in school and during high school I got into playing guitar which I still do to this day.
ME Strauss said
Here’s the story of Jade in OZ that Cat told us
http://www.successful-blog.com/?p=915&cp=all#comment-26259
Kent Blumberg said
Hey - we’ve got two parts of a brass band. Let’s go play carols on the street corner!
Carolyn Manning said
Hi everybody. Yikes, is there room for one more?
Kent Blumberg said
and a guitar - we’re set.
Not a funny story - but cool. We lived in New Zealand for a few years. This time of year, the Salvation Army brass brand would walk around the neighborhood and play carols. If you gave them a donation they would play in front of your house. Very early twentieth century. And they played a lot better than me.
Jessica said
Liz - that is an awesome story! I would have liked to hear the scream scene.
Kirsten Harrell, Psy.D. said
I guess the flute isn’t part of the brass section, but I can play a tiny little bit. I tried to play the flute as a kid, but I quicly realized that I wasn’t going to sound like the flute in the Moody Blues so I lost interest.
Kent Blumberg said
Flute, guitar, singer, trumpet, trombone. Just need someone to play tambourine.
Weren’t the Moodies amazing? My first date I took a girl to see them play.
seanrox said
So the Open Comments night band is coming together… now if we can get Liz on the electric triangle, that would rock like a hurricane
Joe said
Hey Carolyn, always room for one more Philadelphian…
Tell them about me and the StringBand, since they are talking music.
Kirsten Harrell, Psy.D. said
That sound like a good date… a Moody Blues concert! Love them!
ME Strauss said
Kirsten,
That water slide story is incredible . . . I can picture it. You should write a blog post on it. We did something like that in the quad at my school. We were black with mud when it was over.
Jessica said
I bring you this story I wrote about one particular day in grade 9…
story Student Teacher Thumbtack reaction
Kent Blumberg said
It was a good date. But I didn’t get a kiss. That was someone else, while we listened to America’s first album.
ME Strauss said
Hey Sean, don’t laugh. I play a mean electric triangle!
Kent Blumberg said
Jessica - cool story. I need to read your blog some more - looks fun.
Kirsten Harrell, Psy.D. said
Liz - sounds like waterslides were popular in the college scene. The looks on the faces of the women coming out of their rooms to see some of us sliding by them was priceless!
ME Strauss said
Hey Carolyn!!
Great to see ya!
Jessica said
I had to look up who the Moody Blues were! lol I didn’t know who they were.
Moody Blues
Kent Blumberg said
Yes, Jessica, there was good music before 1990!
Jessica said
Kent - thank you
Kent Blumberg said
Kirsten, do you remember the flute music by the Jethro Tull group? That was flute!
Kirsten Harrell, Psy.D. said
Jessica - great story about the tack! I suspect there was a similar story in most classrooms across the world.
The Moody Blues music is awesome… check them out if you get a chance.
ME Strauss said
I saw the Moody Blues in concert!
Joe, move away from that computer.
Joe said
WHHHAAAAAATTTT????
Jessica?
Next thing you know you will tell us you don’t know CTA… (Liz, I know you know)
Kirsten Harrell, Psy.D. said
Kent - I think I remember that as well. I really loved the way the flute sounded… just couldn’t find the patience to learn it
Kent Blumberg said
Ahhh - CTA. That first album blew me away. Inspired my trombone playing. Alas, success is not all inspiration.
Jessica said
Kent - LOL! There was indeed. I was born in the early seventies. But my family did not buy music much at all. Funny but even to this day I can count on both my hands how many CD’s I have purchased in 33 years
I loved music as a child - was in choir, piano, trumpet etc… but only had the radio and a sterio that didn’t get played much.
Kent Blumberg said
I’m a bit ahead of you on the aging curve. Early seventies were highschool for me. Dad had this awsome stereo setup that he built from a kit, and he used to buy the greatest albums.
Carolyn Manning said
Hey Liz, great to be here!
Yes, everybody, our own Joe was a famous Philadelphia Mummer. Uptown Band (right, Joe?). He braved the cold on New Years Day to strut his stuff in the Mummers Parade on Broad Street.
And that is a thumbnail sketch of Philadelphia.
Jessica said
Joe - Chartered Tax Advisor
Kirsten Harrell, Psy.D. said
I saw the Moody’s in concert also… reminds me of another cool story from my youth. I was able to see C,S, and N in concert several times and go back stage to meet the band! Way cool! I loved it!
Kent Blumberg said
Kirsten - wow - we lived parallel lives, I think. My folks took us all to see CSN&Y one week after Woodstock. Two hours of eletric stuff then two hours of acoustic. But we didn’t get to go backstage. I’m jealous.
Scorpia said
Well, I don’t have much to share in the prank department. The best I can do is from a time when I was very young. Not sure if I was even old enough for school (it was that long ago).
I was in someone’s apartment being babysitted. There was a gap between the stove and the wall, and I could just fit in there. So I did
After awhile, people noticed I didn’t seem to be around (there were at least 2 adults there). Frantic searching throughout the apartment ensued. They looked out the window in case I’d somehow fallen out.
I admit I was enjoying myself, and the longer I stayed there, the harder it was to come out.
However, after that, memory fades. I don’t recall if I did come out, or they found me, and what happened after.
ME Strauss said
Jessica,
I bought the ones that you were supposed to buy and the CDs that about 19 other people were supposed to buy too.
Kent Blumberg said
Dogs are barking (dinner time). Gotta go. Great party Liz. Thanks everyone. And let me know when we are getting our band together!
Chris Cree said
Hey Everyone! Who wants a Klondike Bar?
Jessica didn’t know of the Moody Blues? Now I’m starting to feel a little geriatric…
Jessica said
YOU Strauss - he he he
nice.
Joe said
Aw, thanks for remembering Carolyn.
Kirsten, Psy.D. ??? Taxes, we don’t need no stinkin taxes…
Kirsten Harrell, Psy.D. said
Kent - how cool. I never did get to see Young. But the back stage was so very cool. I have a pic of me with Stills and one with Nash. Crosby was not allowed to mix with folks - they made him go to his trailer. We tried a few times to get to him, but chickened out when we saw no trespassing signs and beware of dog on his trailer.
Chris Cree said
Next thing you know Jessica will be telling us she’s never listened to an 8-track or owned an actual vinyl album!
ME Strauss said
Kent,
We’ll the band together at the Successful Blog Convention in Chicago in May. Come up for it. It’s going to be spectacular!!!
Have a good evening!
Kirsten Harrell, Psy.D. said
Joe - doctorate of psychology. you might not need any stinking shrinks either… but I’m not your average shrink.
ME Strauss said
Hey Chris,
If you feel geriatric, I must be a redwood tree.
Kirsten Harrell, Psy.D. said
Hi Chris!
Oh the 8-tracks… had a good collection of those… but not nearly as good as my vinyl.
Chris Cree said
Hey Kirsten. Got your email. I’ll get you an answer soon. I’m doing a bit of plate spinning trying to get my bearings now that I’m back in warmer climes.
Jessica said
Scorpia - the stove story is funny… hiding was so fun as a kid.
Carolyn Manning said
Jessica, what’s co-commons?
Scorpia said
Yeah, but in an apartment, there aren’t many places. That just happened to be my “lucky” day. Funny thing, I never did that again
Jessica said
I had the minipops album
Kirsten Harrell, Psy.D. said
Chris - no prob. When you can get to it that will be fine.
Joe said
Psy.D.
in the comment. But I Do Need an Above Average Shrink… 
Sorry, I should have put a smile
Rick Cockrum said
Hi everyone!
Chris Cree said
OK. Kid stories. I got kicked off the school bus no less than 4 times, for a week each time, in 7th grade. I had a bit of an, *ahem* at-ti-tude that year.
Rode my bike 5 miles each way to school (uphill all the way home) and my parents didn’t find out until I told them when I was in my 20’s.
Mom said, “I thought you were just on a health kick that year.” Seriously. She said that.
I was a pretty sneaky kid.
ME Strauss said
Scorpia,
I had a place like that I could hide, but my brother had me trained to a whistle. And when we were playing cops and robbers when I hid. He whistled. I came out and he shot me.
I felt so violated. Trust betrayed. He was 13. I was about 6.
Kirsten Harrell, Psy.D. said
Joe - just playing with ya
ME Strauss said
Hey Rick!
Scorpia said
Liz, haha. Gotta watch those older brothers. And hardly fair of him to pick on a poor little sister that way. I hope you learned to ignore that whistle
Chris Cree said
ROTFL (again!)
Service Untitled - Douglas said
Evening guys!
Kirsten Harrell, Psy.D. said
I think I have stayed as long as I can… winding down. Thanks again Liz for having us and sparking great conversation! Enjoy the rest of the party everyone!
Scorpia said
Chris, well, at least you stayed in shape
But that must have been some attitude if it happened to you four times!
ME Strauss said
Yep, It’s true. He started when I was a baby — he was 8. It took me until I was 12 to ignore it. I still look if I hear his particular whistle. He says he thought of me as a pet.
Chris Cree said
Hey there Douglas! Liz’s brother had her trained to a whistle. How do you feel about that?
ME Strauss said
Good night, Kirsten.
Congratulations on getting on the road to being better. I’m delighted about that!
Service Untitled - Douglas said
That doesn’t sound very nice, Chris?
Chris Cree said
Scorpia, I really think there is such a thing as incompatible personalities sometimes. The next year we had a different bus driver and she thought I was the best kid on the bus. Go figure.
ME Strauss said
Hi Doug!
I saw you come in. How did you misbehave?
Kirsten Harrell, Psy.D. said
Thanks Liz… me too. I feel like I’ve had a miracle.
Scorpia said
Hoowee. Talk about Pavlovian conditioning! Man, I’m glad I don’t have a brother like that. Pet, indeed. Poor little Liz!
I hope you found some way to get back at him for all that.
Char said
Hey everyone! Chris - thanks for bringing the Klondike bars again.
Liz - this looks like a hoppin’ place tonight - good theme I guess.
Joe said
Kirsten, I thought as much.
Liz, I used to protect my little sister from the boys, until she decided that she LIKED one. She hated me for a while after I beat him up.
Jessica said
jessica is doing my laundry. Sorry guys she can’t play anymore - she’s grounded for not having my supper ready when I got home. She’ll log off later.
Chris Cree said
Douglas, you’re so right.
Liz, please forgive me for laughing at your tortured childhood.
*giggle*
Aaaaaggghh! I can’t help it! Part of me is just not right…
Scorpia said
Chris, of course there are. We’ve all met people who, for one reason or another, just get our backs up. And sometimes, it’s not obvious why. But I’m glad you didn’t have similar problems with the new driver.
Derek Anderson said
When I was 15 and my sister was 5 I hid a tape recorder in her room. On the tape I recorded about 10 to 15 minutes of silence then I recorded my voice in a deep and scary manner and said her name and something like “I’m going to get you”. (10 min was enough time for mom to put her to bed and get outta there)…Boy did she scream…and boy did I get yelled at.
Service Untitled - Douglas said
I (still) have a habit of talking back to peopple I probably shouldn’t. My sarcasm gets the best of me sometime.
ME Strauss said
No Scorpia,
He’s 8 years older. You don’t win when you’re that much younger. Your only recourse to be cuter and to get Dad to like you better.
Derek Anderson said
Another time I piled up 15 empty aluminum cans behind my sisters bedroom door. I knew my mother went in there to check on my sister before she went to bed herself. I also knew that my mom just cranked open the door for a quick check. CRASH! Another yelling I took for that one.
Scorpia said
Aww Liz, I’m sure you were smarter than him. But maybe he did those things because Dad liked you better.
Char said
I was a pretty tame kid. The worst I did was skip school to go hang out at the lake with my friends. My younger brothers on the other hand, they have stories.
ME Strauss said
Hi Char!!
Thanks it seems to be something everyone has something to remember.
Trish,
I think it’s the reason you might like House. What do you think?
Chris Cree said
Derek, you sound just like my wife’s brother. He never ever laid a hand on her. He just mentally tortured her mercilessly.
Scorpia said
Y’know, it sure seems that big brothers have it in for little sisters. Who would have thought that guys could be so jealous?
Rick Cockrum said
It may be inborn with big brothers. I was six years older than my sister. When she was three or four I would play ghost with her, booing and waving my arms until I fell like I was dead. She would poke at me and then run crying to our mom. I thought it was hilarious.
What’s up with Jessica?
HART (1-800-HART) said
~waves ..
Hi all! I’m here for only 11 minutes, then I’m into Lurk mode while I watch that mini series “The Lost Room” (part 2) ..
It’s with the one from 6-feet under show(the one seeing ghosts) .. it’s not as good as the other one (the gay one) who is Dexter.
Okay. Lessee.. Topic… topic.. // My worse moments, were one Gate Night (nite before Halloween).. there were 4 of us .. that pretty much egged a house, cut hay bales, lamp smashing, and some pictures on peoples window - across the street from one of my friends. The cops came by, and saw that 4 youngsters were alone across from the house that got damaged. But then, miraculously the mother drove up in a minivan and when she heard what the police were asking .. out of the blue she lied and said we were all quiet playing cards in the living room, and she went out driving after we heard some noise. The cops bought that, and when they left .. we brought in her groceries.
Jessica said
The Lost Room was fantastic last night Hart! Although in my timezone I still have another 4 hours before it comes on…
My BF is crazy.
HART (1-800-HART) said
Jessica .. all women think their BF’s are crazy.. that doesn’t count :p
ME Strauss said
Scorpia,
I finally taught him to play jacks. He said I played with a square ball and loaded jacks.
Jessica said
He’s upset ’cause he has no clean clothes that are dry. the dryer is broken in our buiilding.
Scorpia said
Ah well Liz, at least you had a victory of sorts there.
Ah Pek said
I have been a bad boy,
I always breaks my toy,
I have never been a joy,
To mama whose skirt I soil,
With a spoonful of cooking oil,
Making her tempers boil,
Angry with my evil ploy,
She made me toil,
Cleaning up my spoil.
Chris Cree said
Douglas, It was my mouth that got me in trouble mostly too. Especially sarcasm. I was pretty obnoxious even then.
ME Strauss said
Hey Scorpia,
It works when you’re 8 and he’s 16 and you’ve never won at anything.
Joe said
Someone mentioned laundry, I have to go put another load in…
Back in 5-6 comments.
Chris Cree said
Joe’s still counting comments.
ME Strauss said
Chris,
Are you read for another. . . . I really did pass myself off as twins when I was 13.
I guess you don’t grow up with my older brother and not learn a few things.
Mike Vizdos said
Nudging up to the cafe…. Hola. It’s Mike. I am new here.
Rick Cockrum said
You had to toil a long time to get oil out a skirt, Ah Pek.
Jessica said
Ah Pek - nice poem
Char said
My mouth always got me in the most trouble, too - I was a pretty sassy kid. I have been blessed with 2 girls (and a boy) and something tells me I am getting it all back and then some!
I have already predicted that my middle child is the one that is going to give me fits as she goes through the dreaded teen years.
ME Strauss said
Hi Ah Pek!
HI Mike!
Come on in, you’re no stranger!
Well, no stranger than we are.
Scorpia said
Yeah, at 8 your reflexes are faster
So there are some advantages to being a little kid.
These days, I go for gentler stuff, a little mild teasing. I wrote about it for Halloween here:
http://www.scorpia.com/?p=271
Chris Cree said
Liz, I was just reading through the earlier comments. I’d forgotten about Jade of Oz. Thanks for bringing that link back around! Good stuff.
(Does that help me get some brownie points back?)
Joe said
Did anybody count?
Rick Cockrum said
The parent’s curse - May you children be just like you.
The parent’s prayer - I hope my kids don’t do half the things I did.
Service Untitled - Douglas said
Chris,
I have to bite my tongue with some of the customers I talk to in my day job. Remember, I’m the customer service man - I am held to a higher standard than most.
It can be annoying at times.
See this post: http://www.serviceuntitled.com/customer-service-in-life/2006/11/02/
Jessica said
Trisha - i have met you before on blogher. You have a butterfly blog. We chatted in the forums once. I saw your picture on your womans health and remembered you. Nice to see you again.
Rick Cockrum said
10 Joe. You’re slowing down, dude.
ME Strauss said
Joe it was 10 comments.
We’re going fast tonight.
Putting in a load of laundry takes 10 comments.
ME Strauss said
Chris,
I have no problem with you laughing about my brother. I think it’s funny too.
ME Strauss said
Rick,
I never heard the paren’ts prayer part of the parent’s curse.
Jessica said
scorpia - diabolically funny story! Nice one. :):):)
Chris Cree said
Douglas, it doesn’t help me that I’ve spent years working down on the docks. Add that with all the New York in my blood and I’m still prone to get in trouble on accountta my mouth.
Joe said
Thanks guys, now I know I have to speed up the washer and dryer, they are apparently moving to slow. (not me, of course
)
Jessica said
Ah all you guys are great! I’ll be back. It is food eating time for me.
thanks Liz
see ya’sall later.
Scorpia said
Jessica, thanks, glad you liked it. I still do it now and then when I have the chance. B&N used to have a clerk there with whom I kidded around when signing the charge slip.
The first time, I picked up the pen, and asked “And your name is…?”.
After that, it was usually, “What name should I use today?”.
But you have to have the right person for this. You can’t do it with just anyone.
Chris Cree said
Wait. Liz. Is 10 comments fast or slow? Good or bad? I guess it depends on your point of view.
Jessica said
Scorpia - that is so true. Are you a scorpio by any chance?
Must go eat. Will check back later
Service Untitled - Douglas said
Chris,
I can imagine. Docks, New Yorker (I’m from NJ), scary.
Scorpia said
Jessica, absolutely. 100% Scorpio, that’s me
Enjoy your dinner!
Rick Cockrum said
The prayer half is personal, Liz. I know what I was like. That’s karma I would rather live down one kid at a time, not all at once.
Rick Cockrum said
Uh oh! The moral relativity of laundry technique.
ME Strauss said
Chris,
What is 10, really. Is it 1 or 0?
Is 1+0? If we can get 1 and 0 to talk to each other, maybe they would sing harmony.
Chris Cree said
ME Strauss said
How’d I do on the moral relativity question, Rick? Think I’ll make the cut for the TV show?
Joe said
Hey Rick, I have the dungarees (jeans) in for an hour to dry, so there is plenty of time. Nothing moral or immoral about it, it just takes time.
Service Untitled - Douglas said
OK guys. I got work to do! See everyone next week. Be good!
ME Strauss said
Mike, Mike, Mike,
Sean has a laptop for sale — see comment 1 for the link . . . then come back and tell us a story about how you misbehaved.
ME Strauss said
Good night, Doug
Thanks for coming again!
ME Strauss said
Joe,
What is time?
Chris Cree said
‘night Douglas. Watch your tongue!
Joe said
9:34 it must be Howdy Doody Time…
Rick Cockrum said
There’s a TV show now? Will the Open Comment Night band be playing? Maybe Terry will do the singing.
The relativity of 1 and 0 works for me. But the 1 may still be lonely since 0 is nothing.
Chris Cree said
Liz, somehow with all the laundry talk I missed the twin comment. Who’d ya convince there was two of you?
Oh, and my mom’s an identical twin. (You remember her, the trusting one.)
Scorpia said
Well, it’s about time for me to be doing some other things.
Thanks for a fun time as usual, Liz.
Bye all! Take care!
::poof::
Rick Cockrum said
G’night Douglas, Scorpia.See you next week.
Joe said
Rick, if it wasn’t for the 1 and the 0 we wouldn’t be able to communicate over the internet…
I like the 1 and 0 relationship, I think they call it binary.
Chris Cree said
Scorpia musta used someone else’s card. She was just here and now she’s gone. Hmmph.
ME Strauss said
Rick,
One is the loneliest number you can ever do. Two can be as bad as one. It’s the loneliest number since the number one. Ahhh.
ME Strauss said
Scorpia . . . just . . . vanished . . . that was so cool!
Chris Cree said
So Liz and Rick are now into relational ethics, huh?
ME Strauss said
Chris,
I was on a trip for 4H to state fair. I had won in the food demonstration contest. I was staying in a dorm. My age was 13. I met a really cute boy and for some reason I decided to tell him I was twins.
Maribeth and Marikay. Each time I went into the building I changed my hair and came out as the other one. I was my own set of Olsen Twins.
Rick Cockrum said
That may be the beauty of it, Joe. It’s the relative difference between the 1 and the 0 that makes it all work.
In case you didn’t get a chance to read it, the comments on Chris’s post here about Asimov’s “Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent”.
ME Strauss said
Rick, I’m thinking we should write a book.
Rick and Liz’s guide to blog relational ethics. What’dya think?
ME Strauss said
We could decidate the book to Chris and Jack the donkey.
ME Strauss said
Who the heck put a quarter in me tonight?
Chris Cree said
That’s classic. How long were you able to keep it going?
Chris Cree said
ROTFL (yet again!!!) @ Liz.
ME Strauss said
Chris,
I was twins for the whole time I was there — a week!!!
Rick Cockrum said
You would have to write the parts that make sense, Liz. Someone implied today I would die as insane as Nietzche.
Chris Cree said
Yep. I offer that as evidence that us guys ain’t the smartest of the genders.
I used to put on fake accents to try to impress girls.
ME Strauss said
Okay Rick, in publishing, what we do in a situation like that is . . . change the title!
Blog Relational Ethics and Blog Insanity with the Power of Nietzche
Chris Cree said
Who said that about you and Neitzche? Did I miss something?
ME Strauss said
Okay, so one more story. . . .
When I was in college there were four of us
Nancy, Nancy, Maribeth (me) and Mary Beth.
No kidding those were our real names.
We would go out together and for some reason we would always be in that order when some guys would ask our names. We would say
Nancy, Nancy, Maribeth and Mary Beth
Then Mary Beth and I would say together
“But she spells her name wrong.”
She is tall and thin as I am. Then she and I would launch into a story about how we were sisters and our mother just liked the name. That for years we hated each other. That she tried to burn down my bedroom door. She got the chocolate chip cookies from Mom, but I got the $20 from Dad. Now we’re friends and our parents are worried.
Guys would believe the entire thing.
It was improv — theater.
Rick Cockrum said
So, does the book cover relational ethics between bloggers or discussing relational ethics in blogs. Maybe ‘Insanely Great Blog Relational Ethics’ would sell better.
Actually, it’s related to the comments in your post, Chris - my post on personal mythologies.
Char said
Guys believe everything if it thinks it is going to get them what they want…
Rick Cockrum said
You don’t need to include that link in your list, Liz.
Delphine said
hello everyone!!
Chris Cree said
Again, I believe the part about the guys believing it.
I’ve got to head on out. The shouts of the pillow calling my name are getting a bit overbearing.
Y’all have a great rest of the evening!
Ben Yoskovitz said
Evening everyone…just finished watching the Habs win their game against Boston…fun, fun…
So what’s shaking?
Rick Cockrum said
You were just cruel, Liz. Char’s right. Guys are gullible, especially at that age.
Me, I used the run away until they caught me technique.
ME Strauss said
Hi Delphine!
Hi Ben!
Rick Cockrum said
Rest well in your warm bed, Chris.
Hi Delphine, Ben!
Delphine said
hi Liz, Char, Rick, Ben and everyone else!!
Things have been crazy, I absolutely CANNOT stand uninvited visitors! it drives me crazy!!
Chris Cree said
Um, Rick. For the record after a glimpse at his blog I think that guy was trying to pay you a compliment in his own wacky way.
Regardless it was a bit rude of him to come into your house and toss that out there like that. We need more nice folks in this wold.
Chris Cree said
Hello, Goodbye Ben & Delphine. (Ben say hey to Basil for me!)
‘Night all. I’ve got to go shut that obnoxious pillow up.
ME Strauss said
Good night, Chris!
Rick, we thought it was so ludicrous. We couldn’t understand how anyone would believe it. But we weren’t mean. We told them soon enough about it.
ME Strauss said
Delphine!
What misbehavior do you exhibit?
seanrox said
Well I hope everyone enjoys the cake and pie I brought with me this evening.
I’m off to work on finding a solution to the sidebar issue for Liz.
If you know anyone looking for a nice laptop just in time for the holidays, send them my way.
Have a good night everyone.
Delphine said
that’s a hard one, it’s been soooo long since I’ve been able to misbehave.
I guess staying out ALL night, showering and showing up for some type of job, teaching English in Japan or the Navy. Can’t do that any more, sometimes I miss it, other times I am SO thankful to be settled down.
seanrox said
Oh and before I run off, did you see Google’s tribute to Edvard Munch and his “The Scream” painting?
ME Strauss said
SeanRox,
Next thing you know, you’ll be calling me silly.
Have a great night and we’ll keep talking about that beautiful laptop.
Joe, back away from there!
Rick Cockrum said
I’ll take another look at it, Chris.
seanrox said
Indeed Liz, you’re a silly one… chalk full of ideas to keep anyone wide awake at 2am
ME Strauss said
THAT’s that Sean, I’ve been missing . . . the one with the cool surprising links when I least expect one.
Look out behind you, Sean. I think I see someone reaching. It’s a 4 -5 comment reach.
ME Strauss said
Rick,
I think Chris is right. The guy just isn’t any good at expressing himself.
Rick Cockrum said
I’ve been drooling over the laptop. It makes my Toshiba look pedestrian. But it’s not to be.
Ben Yoskovitz said
Quick link of interest for anyone into podcasting:

No clue what it will do in terms of traffic, but interesting anyway!
ME Strauss said
Ben,
How did you misbehave when you were younger. You’re Canadian. Knowing everyone, you must have done something with somebody.
Ben Yoskovitz said
“Done something with somebody…”
Um…no, never. *chuckle*
Talk about a loaded sentence.
Well, in small town Ontario I’m afraid the activity de jour was hitting the bottle. But we were generally pretty inert when it came to causing mischief.
I guess it depends what you mean by “younger” too…but I was a good kid all the time! Really!
(Darn it, back in 20-30 minutes)
ME Strauss said
Rick,
I bet Sean would take payments from you. Half now kind of thing. . . . since he knows you. . . . if you’re interested you should contact him.
ME Strauss said
Delphine,
Taught English as a foreign language. That would make you a pretty good blogger.
Joe said
I don’t know what else to say,
it must be time to hit the hay.
We gave our best of past faux pas
it made us all just drop our jaw.
Some were missed, some were seen
but each and every one was keen.
Liz or Rick will fill the blanks
next day to just say thanks.
So, hope you had some fun tonight
it’s time for me to take to flight.

Nite Liz

Becky McCray said
Hi, all! Have any great secrets come to light tonight?
Becky McCray said
Aw, I just missed Joe’s poem!
ME Strauss said
Don’t know about great, but some fun ones for sure!
Hi Becky!
Hans said
hi everybody…
ohhh let me recall some of my online mischiefs :
1) clicking on my own Adsense some years back and they kick my ass off it
2) …….I can’t think of more…of the online stuffs…
ppssss I don’t remember what I’ve eaten last week so that’s a very difficult question….let’s see what others did so bad..
so I can prank a bit…..my misbehaviour could start now
ME Strauss said
Good Night, Joe,
I forgot to ask you whether you saw yourself on my calendar for January?
Email me tomorrow and let me know . . .
Sweet Dreams!
Sleepy Swell!
Char said
Hi Delphine! I’m working on a web site for a client tonight - popping in and out for a quick read, may stop back in later.
seanrox said
Indeed Rick and other friends of Liz and Open Comments night, I would be willing to do 50% down and set up payments on the rest… and I believe paypal has some sort of financing options as well.
The machine is in perfect working order, I just don’t need two machines now, so I want it going to a good home and put to good use, which is also why I’m leaving some professional software on the machine for the new owner.
Rick Cockrum said
Mine’s not depreciated yet, so it will continue in use. It works fine, but I’m with computers the way motorheads are with cars.
It’s time for me to say farewell. Shucks, I’m going to miss Ben’s misspent youth.
Everyone have a good night/day/morning/evening.
Becky McCray said
Hi, Hans! This is a great place to get inspired to try new things, even if it is misbehaving.
I see that Ben left before he spilled any great secrets!
ME Strauss said
Good Night, Rick!
No worries!
Becky McCray said
Nice laptop, Seantox! You’re tempting me!
ME Strauss said
Becky,
Ben said he’d be back in 20 or so minutes.
I’m counting on getting a story out of him yet.
Hans said
@ Becky McCray
how about we go spamming? wouldn’t that be misbehaving? anybody have yet tried this out?
ME Strauss said
So Becky . . . tell me a story.
Hans said
hey Liz wanna get a story for you to sleep? ;P help bedtime storyteller required……pssss I don’t know any……
ME Strauss said
Hans,
Spamming is evil. Not even something to joke about . . . don’t you hate it on your blog, really? Say stuff like that folks will take you seriously . . . spam is right up there with content theft in most people’s eyes.
Becky McCray said
Hans,
That would qualify! How about we just go leave silly or tricky comments on blogs?
Liz,
My brother and sister will tell you that I never did anything to get in trouble! (A long standing family joke!)
I’m trying to think of one….
ME Strauss said
Hans,
You sound all wound up and raring to go today. You’re not sounding like the usual Hans I know. What’s the story?
Becky McCray said
What’s your story, Liz?
seanrox said
Spam is hitting hard this holiday season… my mail servers have been pounded… and I have barracuda firewalls in place which are professional grade and things are running slow at times for email delivery…
Spam is only good in Monty Python skits and for an occasional sandwich.
Becky McCray said
Sean, that’s a nice laptop you’re peddling. Is it sold yet?
Hans said
it’s misbehaving Liz……
I was joking about the spammers. sorry about it
but haven’t you heard any story of successful spammers? I read one in Newsweek some times back
yes! I remember one! I flamed my Maths teacher…..ouchhhhhh…
Delphine said
Liz,
sorry I ran off to take a shower and forgot to post… anyway, about the EFL it was the most fun ever!
I absolutely love to teach, I hope to go back and get some certification in education when my kids grow up a little more.
About being a good blogger, I wish I had a blog while in Japan… I had so many students, I would have had a lot of instant traffic.
Becky McCray said
Well, sorry to drop through without leaving a great story, but I’m off.
Good night and Happy Holidays to all!
Hans said
@ seanrox
wow, that’s a real barricade that you’re setting up. Yeah seems like as the end of year is approaching, the guys got lots of stuffs to sell to us. Wouldn’t they make any discount? *joking again*
hey seanrox, have you tried out these disposable mail address?
ME Strauss said
Happy Holidays Becky!
Char said
Seanrox - did you cook anything good this week? Got any new recipes for me?
Recipe for disaster - quick story from my youth. Remember the jelly jars that could be used as drinking glasses when they were finished? We had an Archie’s one and I wanted it. My brother took it and I went after him. Needless to say, he fell, while holding my glass and ended up with lots of stitches. Not sure I have ever been forgiven for that one…
ME Strauss said
Hans,
Wasn’t sure. Couldn’t tell. Didn’t have those mischeviously smileys to go by. I missed that story in Newsweek you refer to.
seanrox said
Yes Becky, the laptop is still available… and I just followed up with an email to you as well.
Side note, I smell something sweet coming from down the hall… ah! Cake! I’m off to eat cake!
ME Strauss said
Delphine,
I came close to making an EFL program with Cambridge University Press that was going to be so cool . . . I’m most interested in what you have to say.
seanrox said
Char, indeed I’ve been doing some cooking… a new recipe will be showing up on my site sometime tomorrow.
Hans said
@ char
hey I’ve got pastry recipes if you want ;P my father is a Pastry Teacher.
Delphine said
about bad stuff I’ve done…
I lived in Queens growing up, I would beg my mother for train fare, food, a new book for school, paper, you name it! I would scavenge some or get it somehow and use the little money to buy clothes.
I would eat NOTHING the whole day, or I would go into mcd’s and get a small fry with LOTS of ketchup w/ a glass of water for 80 cents. Then my friend and I would walk 40+ blocks to shop in these cheapo stores.
I hated lying to my mother but she would never buy me any clothes! I guess I was a “good girl” in school, that’s the worst it got.
Hans said
@ Liz
hey Liz, how about implementing smilies near your comment box? that would be great fun sometimes just to say we loved something by dropping that happy figure.
ME Strauss said
Great story, Delphine.
They say everyone has one or another.
ME Strauss said
That’s a great idea, Hans. I’ll tell my designer . . . new design in sketches and progress.
Ben Yoskovitz said
I’m back…for a minute anyway.
No good stories to tell though…geez.
Thinking…thinking…
Delphine said
liz,
I’m sorry to hear it sounds like it didn’t go through?
EFL in Japan is often company mandated, so it’s not always a pleasure for the student to take that type of class (this is the worst). Often the company’s insist that we (teachers) stick to a specific program which usually is very formal and boring.
I made most of my money in eikaiwa (conversation schools) where people really want to know the “lingo” and pop culture as well as pronunciation. I also did a lot of private students, this was pre kids & with a husband who was deployed 7 months out of the year, so I didn’t mind going into Tokyo a 40 minute train ride each way, after my lessons I would walk around and sight see. It’s customary to get an hourly wage, which is high, PLUS train fare.
I hope you’ll get the chance at some time…
Hans said
wow designing your own smilies!
Nyssa JBrown got 2 great how-to make your own smilies. From drawing them to adding life afterwards. Then you can just use the more-smilies plugins to implement those same smilies you did.
animated one
static one
Delphine said
has anyone ever tp’d a house?
ME Strauss said
Hi Delphine,
I’m past the point of getting the chance at some time. But I’m still interested in EFL and all forms of literacy. That’s my first field of learning. I know about the acquisition of meaning from print online and on paper.
ME Strauss said
Bigger than that, Hans,
A whole new blog makeover.
And some really cool ideas going on here. You won’t believe . . .
Mike said
Hi Gang, Big Fig here, with that great new dance the Newton! Hit it, Hal!!
ME Strauss said
Mike,
How are ya!
We used to say it was a Fig Newton of your Insinuation.
Mike said
HA!!!
Sorry I’m late. I was doing some chauffer work, and I need to take care of something I’d promised to a friend.
I’m not big on misbehaving (which might seem odd for someone whose blog tagline extols the virtue of productive irreverence); I prefer mischief making. It sounds more creative!
Mike
Hans said
yeah, a make-over for the end of year I suppose. Too great, I won’t miss that
In Mauritius, it’s a custom to clean the house and add new things when the end of year comes.
ME Strauss said
And, Mike, what might your latest spooky mischief be?
Mike said
Delphine,
I personally haven’t TP’d anyone, but I recently sent one of my children to a sleepover where they TP’d a neighbor. I was so proud.
Mike
ME Strauss said
This makeover is long overdue. I can’t wait for it. It will be sexy.
carrie said
of course i have toilet paper’d a house.
ME Strauss said
Hi Carrie!
I experienced moving into a house that had been toilet papered. The attack site was a giant oak tree out front. The occasion was graduation. It rained the night before we got there. Ewwww.
Mike said
Liz,
Sadly, no epic mischief of late. I’ve been doing some corporate training and leaving Easter Eggs in the materials. The most recent blatant mischief was to send out a company-wide product announcement using Spooky Action-style graphics of Napoleon Dynamite characters.
Mike
Delphine said
Mike,
Your joy exudes out of your post! I never even tp’d a house…
Liz,
it must have been quite a site, I could never do it
ME Strauss said
That seems pretty tame for what I know of you.
Char said
Goodnight all - sorry I wasn’t contributing too much tonite… see everyone next week.
Hans said
oops talking a bit about bad things. These past time have seen lots of blog being hacked. Techbuzz,etc……
wow, have anybody yet heard how to defend ourselves? I suppose we can’t install firewalls for our blogs
Mike said
Ben,
Everyone’s done something they thought was inappropriate. Come on. Share!
Mike
Delphine said
Liz,
what do you know about him?
do tell!!
ME Strauss said
Char,
It’s understandable — hey, work is what allows you to come here!
ME Strauss said
Hans,
I didn’t know TechBuzz got hacked.
Ouch!
Delphine said
bye Char!!
Mike said
Delphine, thanks! I pattern myself after the Ed Wynn character in Mary Poppins; I love to laugh!
Liz, are you taunting me? I didn’t want to launch into a doozy right off the bat, but I can bring the mischief!
Goodnight, Char. Sorry I missed talking to you!
Mike
Ben Yoskovitz said
I’m still trying to think of what I’ve done that’s inappropriate that can be shared here…
I’m trying to keep things clean *smile*
ME Strauss said
Delphine,
I only know what I know about Mike from listening to him talk here and from reading his blog . . . and his philosophy of productive irreverence.
Delphine said
I thought of another bad thing…
age: 12ish Eating and entire package of the powdery Duncan Hines yellow cake mix… when questioned by mother, told her I baked it and gave it to an elderly neighbor.
I am so bad!
Hans said
@ Mike
I think drinking alcohol I suppose…. But I would like to talk about it with my parents but don’t know how. I don’t think it’s something wrong when I’m keeping the limit and not abusing on it. I’m not getting drunk. They’re very orthodox
@ Liz
here’s the link of the story
Hans said
I’ll be going now….have a nice time everybody…happy celebrations to ya all…..
sorry for the venom I spat.
ME Strauss said
Hans,
No need to apologize. I didn’t realize you were joking. Thanks for the link on the TechBuzz story. You were a good friend on that one too.
Good travels, dear friend.
ME Strauss said
Delphine,
I can’t imagine eating that! But at another age I would have . *giggle*
Ben Yoskovitz said
Ok I’m done for the evening. Have a great one everyone!
Delphine said
it is so delicious!!
I still crave it, but I keep seeing Dr.Atkins in my head, low carb, low carb, low carb…
anyway, I hope you all have a pleasant night…
I need to start shutting down…
ME Strauss said
Good night Ben!
I think it’s probably time to toss i the keys for the evening. I’m yawning myself and my eyelids are closing.
I was up way too early this morning. So I’ll say my Good night too.
Mike said
Okay, here’s one of my favorites. I receive an e-mail announcement of one of those soul-crushing ‘cost saving’ contests. There had been a series of these things, each getting progressively more ridiculous. This one, unfortunately announced on a Friday afternoon, had a laughable set of constraints. The idea had to be applicable across all locations. It had to be applicable across departments. It had to have hard dollar return on investment.
I went into my boss’s office to bitch about it when - IT HIT - the mother of all cost saving contest entries!!! But I couldn’t submit it under my name, or my boss’s. She suggested the name of a colleague, so I filled in the form (complete with company-wide ROI calculation) and dropped it into the company mail.
A few weeks later the colleague and I got promoted to another location. We were busy moving our families and taking on new challenges, and I forgot about the contest.
Six months later we were asked to go back to our old location for a meeting. What luck that they were having an All Hands meeting the day we arrived. [You can see where this is going, right?]
About halfway through the meeting, they call my colleague up to the podium, because he won Honorable Mention in the cost saving contest. He looked completely surprised because - yes - he knew NOTHING about his entry! My old boss shot me an O-My-God glance that told me she hadn’t a clue either, but we both realized what was going on.
The division president offered my colleague the $25 gift certificate and ribbon and asked what his cost saving suggestion was. At this point my boss and I were doubled over with pain and mirth, because we had submitted the suggestion of single ply toilet paper - a straight 50% improvement for a net $20000 per year for the corporation.
Mike said
Good night Ben!
Good night Delphine!
Good night, gracious hostess!
I’ll finish off the good booze and head home (but lurk for late arrivals).
Mike
ME Strauss said
Mike that is the very best story.
It was waiting for.
ME Strauss said
Good Night Mike!
Good Night Delphine!
Mike said
Liz,
Thanks! I still laugh out loud when I think of it.
Mike
Mike said
Nobody’s watching the Crown Royal; I’m going to take a big swig directly from the bottle…
Whooo! That’s got a kick to it!!
seanrox said
Looks like the party is still rockin’ like it’s 1999… w00t.
Hope everyone is enjoying the cake and pie… and Joe finally left the laptop alone so others could check it out to see if they’d like to have it.
Good night Liz and everyone else… have a good evening…

Sorry I missed this last night (we had our company holiday party), but here’s my child mischief story ( I revealed the basics on my blog last Saturday): when I was in first grade, me and a couple of buddies developed a fixation on lighting little bonfires in our back alleys (we had paved ones in our hometown). I’d pilfer matches from my house, and during our lunch time we’d gather “kindling” (candy wrappers, etc) and find a nice patch of alley concrete, and light up a nice little fire (maybe six inches wide). This was all going well until one day a neighbor “caught” us - she yelled and scooted us away back to our playground. About 15 minutes later a police car pulled up, and uttered my name. I was horrified - I was 7 years old and going to jail! Fortunately, the officer only scolded me (in front of all my classmates to boot), but it certainly scared me straight. In fact, I’ve probably lit less than 20 matches in the last 40 years! All the best everybody, and see you next week.
ME Strauss said
Starbucker,
No wonder you know so much about people. You really are one!
