Hi. Okay, so maybe people are just a little shy and feel intimidated to be the first to post a comment on this open thread. No biggie. I'll get things rolling then...So, hey, how's it going everybody?

I'm well. Thanks for asking.

Good to hear you're doing good!

I didn't say I was "good". I said I was "well".

Oh. Sorry.

Don't worry about it. (Loser.)

Thanks--hey, wait a second! I'm not a loser!

You're not? Coulda fooled me. I mean, you leave this open thread and nobody bothers to leave a comment in it. That shouts "loser!" to me big time.

What are you talking about? We're leaving all sorts of comments on this open thread.

Go Sox!

Yeah, but we don't count.

We don't?--Hey, who was that? Someone just left a comment besides us.

I noticed that. No clue. They implied we have had a child with them, too.

I know. Weird. Anyway, I'm going to have a sandwich now.

Hi. I am on the west coast. It's only 8:30 here which is why I haven't added to the "thread".

Hi Patti. Thanks for adding to the thread, but I'm having a sandwich right now so I can't really focus on what you're trying to say.

In case anybody cares, I'm eating a turkey sandwich.

But probably nobody cares. They're all too busy worrying about their own sandwiches. That's so selfish. If more people cared about what kinds of sandwiches other people (like me) were having then there would be no war.

Why was that person screaming like a maniac?

Hi Dan. I'm sure whatever person you heard that was screaming like a maniac was interesting and all, but again, we're talking about my sandwich here. Please, people: focus.

So, yep, it was turkey on whole wheat with a little mayo, onion, tomato, sprouts, and lettuce. Tasty. Could have used some pickles, but I'm not gonna get worked up about that.

I mean, when you order your turkey sandwich with pickles you expect to get a turkey sandwich with pickles, but whatever. I guess that's what you get when you go to a Hmong delicatessen and you don't speak Hmong.

Is it just me, or is there something disturbingly submissive about the way the guy in the Ab Lounge 2 has his hands linked beneath the bar over his head...

Oh - and sorry your sandwich sucked without pickles.

I'm in Pittsburgh and it's 2:00 here. I just woke up, so that's why I haven't added to the thread. I don't like pickles anyway.

Hi Special K. Yes, I think if one were two examine that Ab Lounge 2 photo long enough they'd find numerous disturbing things within it. But back to my sandwich. Who doesn't put pickles on a sandwich? What kind of crazy culture would leave pickles off a turkey sandwich? Don't get me wrong, I love the Hmong. They're a proud and beautiful people. But still, that's no excuse for leaving pickles off a sandwich.

Hi Sarah. Wow. Waking up at 2pm? Goodness. If you were married you'd make a prime candidate for Wife Swap. It seems every week at least one of the wives has funky sleeping habits. And, like, 40 pets.

Who's the boss?

Judith Light. Hands down. Most people say Tony Danza is the boss, and some even contend that Alyssa Milano is the boss, but those people are dumb and poorly dressed.

I'm a fan of Trading Spouses myself.

I'm glad you said Judith Light. Really, I am. For so many reasons. And I agree with you.

I always thought Katherine Helmond made the best boss. Also, I am currently wearing an authoritative yet stylish blazer.

So, is everyone trying to say that just because Jonathan is gay, he can't be the boss?

I think the guy in the Ab Lounge 2 chair wants someone to show him who the boss is...

See what happens when you have an open thread? Something as wholesome and good for you as the Ab Lounge 2 chair winds up as a submissive sex toy. Sort of.

Could we move on to hotdogs? That's what we're having for dinner. These will be pickle free but my husband does like his with a little relish. He puts it on top of the chili. Is that gross or what?

Hey, does anybody have the time?

I enjoy hot dogs. But relish on top of chili does not sound good. It sounds bad. Wait, actually now that I think about it it doesn't sound THAT bad. I used to live by a joint called Fat Burger and they would put an over easy egg on your burger if you wanted. With chili and bacon too. One time i got chili on my shirt.

Hot dogs with chili and relish sounds like a gastromonical nightmare. But more power to you if you can handle that. We had pizza. It'll mean more Ab Lounge 2 crunches, but it was worth it. Even if they forgot to put pickles on the thing.

Oh, and it's 9:24.

And just because I'm home on a Friday night doesn't mean I'm a loser. So get those mean thoughts out of heads. Thanks.

And I forgot about both Katherine Helmond and Jonathon. I guess in certain situations both could be the boss. Like if there was some sort of terroist incident or something. I could see Helmond like totally taking over and fending them off and stuff. And if there was like a real high pressured synchonize swimming meet, I'd feel real comfortable with Jonathon being the boss then.

What happend to the turkey sandwich?

those last two posts were exactly a day apart at 9:28 p.m.

spooky.

hey. it's only 12:21 p.m. here. and that last post said it was 3:20 p.m. Have I discovered some sort of time warp?

Hi Darby. Shhh. Ixnay on the time warp-ay.

Yawn! Its too early for this, but I just had to check in and see what I missed this weekend.
What's for breakfast?

A plate of bacon and a V8

I had eggs with a side of pickles. It also has come to my attention that my spelling of "ixnay on the time warp-ay" is nowhere near close to correct pig latin. Sorry. My bad. I never really learned pig latin when I was a kid. Because I was cool.

I had three wheat crackers with peanut butter and a cup of tea. I made up for my simple breakfast at lunch with Spinach Cheese Ravioli with extra tomato sauce and a small house salad with Creamy Basil Pesto dressing on the side. Whats for dinner?

I'll just sniff the mints and absorb moisture from the air.
