Since Normative is currently offline I'll do my best to substitute.
Mirandaf is at 994 posts and approaching the clubhouse!

<climbing up hill, huff puff huff puff huff puff>

I'm coming. Working on it. May be there by midnight.

I'm actually sitting here on the couch with my husband, watching "From Dusk 'Til Dawn" as I type this. There seem to be a number of B and C movies on tonight.

See you soon. :)

Just in time for Spring Break!  Drinks, fluffy towels, and warm bubbling waters await!

Hey -- congrats!  I was posting while you -- made it!  Coffee and cookies are to the right.  Just ask the barista.  Chocolate, I presume?  And it's Girl Scout cookie time...

Welcome!  I'm partial to the chocolate chip with pecans, but you're the guest of honor!

Thanks. Happy to be here. Do I get a mignon, too? <walks over to get some oreos>

Wow, lots of people here tonight. Party!

No, I didn't mean that - the oreo martini - but now I do. That sounds great!

Actually, I'll admit that I like to keep my vices separate.  Not that I wouldn't try one of those suckers.  I mean, you put an oreo on the side of the glass!  Now that's classy.

But oh, what to do with you?  You run out of coffee -- but not oreos?  And no milk with the oreos?  Yes, ok, coffee is always good, and coffee with cookies is good, but no milk?  How do you dunk?  Oreos and milk, then coffee.  And I saw you on that other thread -- going to fetch more coffee?  I hope you were excusing yourself politely.  We in the Clubhouse do not get our own coffee -- that's what minions are for.  Really, we'll have to sign you up with someone good.  That JohnR seems like a nice boy, maybe we'll draft him.

And here -- I bought you some of the chocolate-covered oreos.  Now those are best when dunked in a hot liquid.

I haven't had one of those in a long time.  If you like, I can break open my stash of Mallomars.
