Urbandictionary word of the day: Sanguivore

 

Almost sounds like a wine, doesn't it? But no, unless your wine is platelet-rich… Literally, something that ingests blood as sustenance to survive. Ie, a vampire, mosquito, leech, etc.

Count AJ: I am drinking!

Count Bev: Vat are you drinking?

Family Weekly Newsletter

Issue 32 Vol 4

 

Important Holidays: Marco's Birthday, Barry's Birthday

 

Weather:   Although it's not a full moon in the sky, it will be in your backyard after indoor toilets go on strike internationally. You should up their hourly salary.     

 

Cigar of the Week (Brought to you by MA): Pinar Del Rio Seleccion Limitada – A dark, toothy, Habano, Maduro wrapper, 6x60 super toro finished with a pig tail head. Heavy in hand and stuffed with premium Nicaraguan and Dominican long filler covered in a Criollo binder….yummy.

Urbandictionary word of the day: Mullet Over

 

When someone with a mullet ponders over what great beer to buy next.

 

"Hmmm. Keystone or Busch in camo cans, Keystone or Busch. Hey bartender – any specials tonight? I'm mulleting over this decision here and need some input…"

 

Song of the Week (by AL): Footloose, Kenny Loggins

 

Notable Accomplishments:  UM/T have acquired a very large cigar humidor that seems to have ominous similarities in circumstance to the Christmas Story's leg lamp. Nicole had a successful Willow House party. BK saved $10/month on the Verizon bill. RE Jr was honest and returned lights that were not sent to him by mistake (way good kharma). Tom's Facebook is back up and running after a disaster. Carinne learned jet lag is great for starting a morning workout routine.

a) Monster Mash

b) Crank That (Soulja Boy)

c) Chicken Dance

d) Jump On It

FWN Member of the Week: Marco!  

 

Happy Birthday, Draftermorning, and Drafternoon to Marco!

 

Marco's favorite dessert is Jack Daniel's Honey with Ginger Ale. When he played soccer he was #9 (editor's note: only the greatest number ever). His first job ever was part of a demo crew for a construction company. Lastly, if Marco were to re-do any movie as the lead actor he'd be Russell Crowe in Gladiator.

 

Thanks! (clap clap clap clap clap)

Champ de Mars

Family Weekly Newsletter

Issue 31 Vol 4

 

Important Holidays: Nada

 

Weather:   To cure jet lag, time it so you can drink for 12 hours solid. Afterward, you will certainly pass out for 8 hours and voila – you're back on the time zone you desire.     

 

Urbandictionary word of the day: Diarrhea of the Mouse

 

Uncontrollable rambling via internet – email, blog, newsletter, facebook, etc.

 

After Carinne sends out the newsletter, UM posts the HSOTW on facebook, Tracy likes it as she's checking in to Starbucks, and MM comments on it six times. Then Alex uses the word-of-the-week in her status, RE Jr shares that with all of his friends, and MM again comments six times. That fam and their diarrhea of the mouse…

 

Song of the Week: I'm Your Boogie Man, K.C. and the Sunshine Band

 

Notable Accomplishments:  Uncle Michael got a new car. UM's losing streak towards Pittsburgh sports teams has ended. RE Jr will be returning to work 8 ½ weeks early. C and JLo survived Eurotour including a $50 pizza, $10 wine on the Mediterranean, a French train strike, several encounters with Casanovas, and a trick phrasebook (the editor can now ask a French person if they want to hear me belch).

 

Hypothetical Situation of the Week:   What non-traditional pet would you get and what would you name it? No dogs, cats, goldfish, etc. You can also assume that if it is a wild animal it would not harm you (ex, meet Hannah my Hyena).

 

FWN Member of the Week: Dr. Ali  

 

The most recent TV show Ali watched was Revenge on ABC. Ali got her name because her Dad loves the Elvis Costello song Alison, and her mom's boss has a daughter with the same name. If Ali had to dye her hair an unnatural color it would be purple because she thinks it'd look good. Lastly, if she had to cater an event with fast food it would be from Wendy's.

 

Thanks! (clap clap clap clap clap)

 

Classifieds: C is looking for a big chalkboard, if anyone sees one lying around or at a yard sale. 2'x2' or larger.

Hypothetical Situation of the week:  this week is October cage match (who wins and why)

Pumpkin jack

Pumpkin pie

Pumpkin ale

The great pumpkin (charlie brown)

fwn member of the week:  The hot tub(translated by re)

The hot tub says that its worst moment was when it was filled with mud from grubby children.  Its happiest moment was when it was first installed and finally had power.  Hot tub says that its favorite seat is the one with the neck massager because it makes the most noise.  Hot tub says that if it had to change anything about itself, it would install a tv and stereo.

Thanks (crap crap crap)
