: 
- This is now the Ohio Happy Fun Time Blog. We’re going to blog about fun things like puppies and martinis and hammering nails up our noses and other fun things that have nothing to do with Ohio politics.
-
- I want to thank my friend Evil Editor for volunteering to take over the blog for a while while I spend some time working though my issues. I know he can be a little rough at times, but BOY does he know how to have fun.

- Consider this an open thread.

Right now martinis are looking pretty nice.
Can you believe that James Bond drinks a vodka martini? What is that all about?
February 24th, 2006 at 3:11 pm
You can do pictures in the comments?
February 24th, 2006 at 3:13 pm
Only fun pictures.
February 24th, 2006 at 3:16 pm
Bunnies with pancakes on their heads would be fun. But since I can’t preview and I can’t delete if I screw up, I need to know how.
February 24th, 2006 at 3:17 pm
use the img html tag. Worst case I edit it, and that’s kinda fun compared to that NAMELESS topic.
February 24th, 2006 at 3:30 pm
Mm-kay, giving it a try. Oolong the pancake rabbit, but I think this picture features him with cookies on his head. It was his “head performance” record.
February 24th, 2006 at 3:38 pm
Well darn. I used the html code from Dreamweaver. Here’s the link to Oolong pictures

not to burst all the happy fun, but I heard a rumor Sherrod Brown eats puppies. Heh.

The one in the pink collar is Larkin. My mom raised him for Canine Companions for Independence, and he just graduated last Saturday. She’s getting her next pup–the sixth one she’ll be raising–at the end of March. I used to put a lot of my attention into dog rescue issues before getting sucked into, um, other things.

February 24th, 2006 at 5:15 pm
Either wordpress is being bad, or people need a not so fun HTML class.
February 24th, 2006 at 5:16 pm
BTW, check out this free tool for formatting blog posts: http://wbloggar.com/
February 24th, 2006 at 5:26 pm
I use ecto, it aint free but it is cool. IT also means i get to keep a local copy of everything on my mac so if the site goes down i have a backup.
February 24th, 2006 at 5:34 pm
What happened to make you need a martini this early on Fri? Everything ok? Puppies and dogs are very nice. It’s a beautiful day. I’ve never had a straight martini but the 4 sampler martinis at Polo Grill on Mason Montgomery Rd. were really tasty and knock me out. We home right after dinner and konked out immediately. But then I’m a really cheap date. Anyway, I hope everything is ok with you and yours.
February 24th, 2006 at 6:21 pm
Can you believe that James Bond drinks a vodka martini? What is that all about?
And how about the ‘Shaken, not sirred’ part of it? Now a Vodka Martini is with cracked ice right? So does ’shaken’ add more water or less through melting?
February 24th, 2006 at 6:33 pm
What have ya’ll done to my husband?!!
Where are the pictures of our precious Henrietta??
February 24th, 2006 at 6:45 pm
Ever watcht he Animal Channel? The Animal Channel is crazy! That little Australian dude comes out. He’s always yelling at the camera, “Hello…come on follow me, let’s go. Come on, let’s go on an adventure!” I’m in my living room putting my pants on yelling back at him, “I’m coming! Where are my keys? I gotta pick this guy up. SIR, WHAT LAGOON ARE YOU IN?” That dude’s nuts.

so, i think scooby doo may be the bestest cartoon dog ever. i mean, there’s no sitting on the sidelines with that guy. you’re either fighting along side those meddling kids or you’re getting de-masked with the monsters.
granted, hong kong fu-ee was awesome, but his character was so limited. he just kept getting people all excitable and stuff.
so, yeah, pass the scooby snacks, ed.
February 24th, 2006 at 7:03 pm
Alan, about the martinis… I heard a report about this. Asking for them shaken actually makes them more watery. So James Bond is actually asking for a weak martini.
February 24th, 2006 at 7:23 pm
Okay, your “Happy Fun Time Blog” got something in my head, and now it’s just going to have to play itself out. Here.
If Happy Fun Time Blog begins to smoke, get away immediately. Seek shelter and cover head.

Do not taunt Happy Fun Time Blog.
February 24th, 2006 at 7:30 pm
How the heck did I do that? With the big text?
And JenJen, I had no idea you were posting the “do not taunt” line while I was off looking for the words.

You know, I just heard that the new James Bond doesn’t know how to drive a stick, so they had to modify the Aston Martin for him!
My favorite drink: Ketel One Vodka, no vermouth, shaken, with a tomolive.
Yum. I think I’ll ask my husband to make one for me. I just had ankle surgery, so I get waited on all the time ……. for now.
I love the bulldog in the pink dress.
February 24th, 2006 at 9:05 pm
Editor . . . that impresses me about Bond. Responsible drinking is to be admired. It is maybe also important to note that never orders a brand of liquor, only the ’shaken’. His white shirts don’t have little polo ponies on them either. GQ guy recommends blog readers take note of this subtle class.
February 24th, 2006 at 9:10 pm
No brand? Whenn all you’re drinking is straight,chilled vodka, you can actually taste it.
I guess Bond’s club only serves the better brands.
My posts will get better. The Mr. just brought me a drink.
February 24th, 2006 at 9:24 pm
Speaking of James Bond, my wife has the tv set to HGTV. If there is a devil — and if he has my name in his little black book — this is my punishment. Fireplaces painted black, ceilings painted tan, and walls painted purple-blue-gray (aka, bulldog vomit).
I guess that had nothing to do with James Bond.
February 24th, 2006 at 10:09 pm
Hmmm…
February 24th, 2006 at 10:27 pm
Mmmm Stohli vanilla vodka on the rocks. And it smells really good too. Of course, one and I’m out. I have an impossible time finding DRY sherry in bars and restaurants around here. What’s up with that? I love dry sherry.

February 25th, 2006 at 1:58 pm
Got kicked out of a TGIFridays the last martini I had. I tried an apple martini. still too strong for me. I envy you Goddess and Muffet. One of those and Im dancin on a table looking for a pole….or worse.

awww…I’ve got a pic of my Mittens in our sink. Now Ill have to dig it up.
February 25th, 2006 at 3:53 pm
For Mrs. Editor:
More fun with martinis — a little poem for you:
“Martinis I cannot take,
One or two at the most,
Three I’m under the table,
And four I’m under the host.”
February 25th, 2006 at 6:55 pm
Mrs. Editor:
I didn’t say I hold my liquor, I just said some it tastes really good and puts me in a happy place. I am a delightful person normally but I am especially charming, happy and delightful with a little alcohol iin me. I and do mean a little. I never could drink and my roommates in college thought it quite humorous. It made me violently ill after the second drink. They, however, could really drink. Of course, they couldn’t remember part of the evening. But as now, I was always reliabe, watched out for everyone and navigated us home (no one had cars where I went to college which was a good thing). And now they tell my children how their mother never drank in college and was always good and level headed. It pays to be the only one with recall.
February 25th, 2006 at 7:04 pm
BTW, Mrs. E’ditor, how did you get kicked out TGIF? And I think it’s good to dance as if no one is watching sometimes. I love to dance. I actually get my husband to swing dance with me. I love the music and have some good big band complications from the 30 and 40’s. Put on some old Marvin Gaye and Four Tops and I can’t sit still. I love old rock and roll, and the old soul from the 60’s. Dance party!
February 25th, 2006 at 7:23 pm
Mrs. Editor,
That is hilarious if you indeed got kicked out of TGIF. My sister used to be a bartender at TGIF and can make a damn good drink.
February 25th, 2006 at 7:54 pm
What is it about this blog attracts such terrific women? Girls night out. alet’s follow Mrs. Editor to whatever place still let’s her in.
February 25th, 2006 at 8:03 pm
LOL Cookie. That poem is me exactly when it comes to Martinis. …cept I can sum all that up by the end of one.
I love to dance Goddess but Martinis make me more prone to lap dances than swing!
DrD honey getting kicked out of TGIF’s was hillarious..sorta..looking back. That was my 1st martini and I wasnt prepared….Needless to say I had to try it again just to make sure it wasnt a fluke. In repsect to Mr E I wont go into details here of that experience. We’ll have to get together for a martini and trade war stories.
February 25th, 2006 at 8:25 pm
Democratic women unite!
Smart and fun…democratic know how to have fun!
We need to have a dancing democratic meeting. great debate and dancing what a great combo!
..maybe margaritas are safer…..

February 25th, 2006 at 11:56 pm
Hey, maybe they’ll let us in at a young democrats meet up. Seriously, with a lot of expensive plastic surgery, I bet I could pass for under 35. I bet they dance better than a bunch of young republicans anyway. God, I bet the young republicans drink Coors lite. Yuck.
February 26th, 2006 at 1:06 am
Oh, holy wow, wtf has happened here? I get sick for one day and the blog that shall not be named goes to Happy Fun Time Blog?
Sweet mercy, this is hilarious.
February 26th, 2006 at 6:37 am
I hear you redhorse, I caught the bug and slept all day Friday. Moped around Saturday and now can actually read and even drink coffee. I’ve got the martini war story to end all war stories but I was only 15 at the time so maybe it doesn’t count.
February 26th, 2006 at 10:44 am
Goddess I ve got a few months before theyd kick me out of the young dems….everyone can come with me. you know republicans dont dance…I hear they may get alittle freaky behind closed doors but they sure hell dont dance. That’s like a sin or something.
LOL redhorse I said the same thing when I got home Friday..”What have you done?!!” I am still trying to figure it out.
Coyote…you can tell the story..just dont tell anyone you were underaged at the time.
Man this would be one heck of a party. hehe
February 26th, 2006 at 12:33 pm
Young Republicans are too busy contriving elaborate excuses for why they’re not enlisting to learn to dance! And behind closed closet doors, we’ll, you know….
Renee, thank for the cat links. My sister sent me that cats in sinks and that’s a great one. Cats in clothes I’m not so sure about. Oh, that kitten war! I want both to win every time. I’m sure a softie when it comes to cats!
February 26th, 2006 at 1:10 pm
Note to Alan and Shaggy. Mr. E calls my HGTV and my trading Spaces house porn. I dont get why guys have such a hard time with it. Dont you want your woman learning how to do stuff with power tools?
Animal planet is kewl!!! Did you see the puppy and kitty bowl during the super bowl??? How can you not watch. Animals funniest videos is an automatic laugh. Animal Cops…thats real drama.
February 26th, 2006 at 2:54 pm
Food Network: BAM!
February 26th, 2006 at 6:52 pm
Hey now…30 minute meal. a girl can bring home the bacon and learn how to fry it….howd that commercial go??..Im showing my age.
February 26th, 2006 at 7:23 pm
Something like: “I can bring home the bacon, fry it up in a frying pan; and never ever let you forget that you’re a man… I’m WOman… W-O-M-A-N…”
(Dang, that Mr. Editor is one lucky dude!)
February 26th, 2006 at 7:53 pm
OH Blogs go on name-changing spree…
First the OH-2 Blog turns itself into the Ohio Happy Fun Time Blog, and now Buckeye Senate Blog is changing over to become Buckeye State Blog. What's causing it, and who's next?
Is there a virus?
Something in the water?
Some kind of mutant…
February 26th, 2006 at 9:54 pm
It’s martini time again…….somewhere.

Now, that’s happy and fun and true!

[…] Terry Smith in The Athens News posits that we Hackett backers should calm down. I guess Terry missed the kitty thread over at OH02 and the fact that things were beginning to calm down. Hah. You just stirred up the hornet’s nest, now didn’t you? […]
