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.
Liz is Away — Time to Play
You know that they’re going to encourage:
- misbehavior and rowdiness
- tree climbing and jumping on the beds
- eating Klondike Bars instead of healthy food — Oh wait, we do that anyway . . .
- and flamenco dancing with a code-writing donkey and a drunken moose.

And, whatever else comes up, including THE EVER POPULAR, Basil the code-writing donkey . . . and flamenco dancing (because we always get off topic, anyway.)
Oh, and bring links about misbehaving to share!

What is Tuesday Open Comment Night?
I see Lisa and Phil are misbehaving by opening early tonight!
By the way, what sort of wool do relationship produce?
Sorry, relationsheep!
Which is sort of hard to type…
Baaaaaa.
relationsheep are allergic to wool. We prefer poly-cotton blends.
We love to share our sheepish grins though 🙂
To answer your question, Mikey, it’s a close knit.
Hello Mike.
Hello Lisa.
Let’s start this party. Who wants ICE CREAM!
Phil, did you bring basil?
Basil will play later. He’s busy playing in the sandbox 🙂
I missed the whole play date with basil. Who invented him?
Ben Yoskovitz created Basil. He was a code-writing donkey who traveled with Fawlty Towers.
How did he have him?
It was Ben’s stuffed donkey. He brought his own toy to the party.
Where is Ben tonight anyway?
He’s making pesto out of basil.
Punny joke, he said sheepishly.
Mike – what’s for dessert?
I hope he makes some mud pies.
(whap)
Mud pie at Mike.
(whap)
Mud pie at Lisa.
Let’s play.
I just went outside, don’t ask, and the sky is bright blue with sheepish pink clouds passing by. Amazing time in santa Barbara.
In other news, Lisa just got nailed by a low flying mud pie.
Hey Char. Welcome to the party.
What’s for dessert? Lisa says mud pie.
Lisa – you are a fast typer for being outside.
How’s your mud pie?
My mud pie will go nicely with my worm collection.
Ooh, I love worms. One of my favorite books as a child was How to Eat Fried Worms.
What books did you read?
Char? Mike?? What about you?
That’s what was in my Secret Garden.
Ooh, what’s in the Secret Garden? Can I play?
Do you have the password?
Yep, they’re playing in Vegas, and we’re playing here.
(the password is, stinky cheese)
That was like tooo easy. I’m gonna change it so it’ll be harder.
neener neener neener. I guessed Lisa’s password.
Char’s is keystrokes 🙂
Char is playing hide and seek with Mike. Not fair, he’s my bff.
Hey Brooke! We’re trying to decide if we should eat dessert or play tag. What do you want to do?
Char!!! MIKE!!! Come out and play with all of us.
Oh, the party is here? I was on the other post…
I brought all my make believe stuff, I hung the curtains for the play in the shack out back, and all we have to do is make up the play.
Welcome back Char. We missed you.
What character are you? I’m a joker.
Duh on me, I was at the other post….
Good evening everyone!
Wrong post I guess…I wanna eat dessert first!
Lisa – we should play at the other post. https://www.successful-blog.com/1/the-mic-is-on-guest-hosts-lisa-gates-and-phil-gerbyshak/
Join us over there, okay?
I’m starting to feel the like person holding the bag during a snipe hunt – LOL (where everyone leaves you out in the woods alone while they go to a bar and laugh at your foolishness(
I haven’t turned the furnace on this season yet so it is very cold in here and my fingers are not hitting the right keys (that’s my story and I’m sticking to it – LOL)
Aargh, my computer is so cold the bits don’t want to move – LOL I think my keyboard has frost on it
Sorry for not explaining the snipe hunt analogy. I’m old and cold – LOL
What – no furnace! Marti that is barbaric cruelty to the elderly. I’m shivering just thinking about it.
Oh – and Hi all!
