A few random pics of Layla bean scaling the furniture last night. Friday. Get here.And, which one of these things does not belong in the turn style (or, as Jake refers to it, "Lazy Susan")? The first one to find the item that doesn't belong wins a chicken dinner and gets to be the person who drives me to the mental hospital. The part about this that makes it so apparent that I need to visit the loony bin, is that the item that doesn't belong was placed there, by me, the night before. I found it last night and wouldn't have fallen upon it had I not been looking for Layla's snacks.
Other than that minor mishap, Layla and I are just trying to coast thru these last few days before daddy gets home. I've reamed Hudson a new A-hole about 5 times over the last 24 hours and kicked him out of the house once. None of this ever seems to phase the big block head. He just looks at me like, "Well if you're going to have a fit, at least throw the tennis ball while you're doing it. Lunatic."

The milk doesn't belong in there, and you can stay in my suite in the crazy house. I haven't used it in years. I won't be able to drive you though, I am too busy in Australia.
I gotta go eat some shards of glass now.

Glen! You ODB! I appreciate the offer to stay in your suite! When did you bust out of there? Australia hugh? That's where you've been hiding. I'll have to let Gobbz know. He's been lookin for your ass.
Glass goes down much easier if you mix it w/ cottage cheese. Trust me. I've done it.
It is called a lazy susan! A turn style is something you walk through to get into the fair! Layla probaly prefers the milk a little warm anyway.
Is it milk or creamer for your coffee? Don't worry I've put the cereal away in the fridge and the milk in the drawer many a times...I don't leave it over night though
it's whole milk, for layla, theresa. :)
a turn style is not what you walk to to get into the fair. that's it. i'm taking a survey.
Ok, it is a turn-style. Only "wierdies" call it a Lazy Susan. And the thing at the fair is called the "turny thing".
ALSO ~ it is easy to find your missing milk when the cereal is in the fridge. I've done that, too.
Also, I've drank curdled chocolate milk when I was hung over once. I liked it.
GLEN! Where have you been my whole life?! I've needed some mischief for a long time, and cant find it anywhere!
BTW, it's totally a lazy susan, dont be silly.
Linds--I think that youre a weirdie(whatever that means). Do you get category 5 hangdowns like sistah Ape?
Gobbz ~ I do in fact also get the catagory 5 hangdown. Must be a family curse or something.
i'm with jake - it's a lazy susan! proof: www.lazysusan.com
wonder how they came up with that name anyway? this is what google says:
"Lazy Susan'' made its first written appearance in a Vanity Fair advertisement for a "Revolving Server or Lazy Susan'' in 1917. The device itself predates the name "lazy Susan,'' as many antique shoppers can tell you: These revolving serving trays have been around since the 1700s, where they were often tiered and called "dumbwaiters.'' Dumbwaiters were so called because they quietly (hence "dumb'') took the place of waiters in the dining room. (The term "dumbwaiter,'' of course, now usually refers to a small elevator used to carry food and dishes from one level in a building to another.)
What caused the name change from "dumbwaiter'' to "lazy Susan''? A popular theory suggests that servants were often named Susan, so that "Susan'' came to be almost a synonym for "servant,'' and the "lazy Susan'' was essentially functioning as a servant who never had to go anywhere (hence "lazy''). Another theory suggests that the name derives from a specific inept servant named Susan. Interesting as those stories are, there is no hard evidence to support either of them. The era of servants in most homes had ended long before the term "lazy Susan'' came into use, and, as you might expect, there is no evidence that most female servants were named Susan.
It is more than likely that "lazy Susan'' was styled on previous combinations in English that use "Susan'' ("black-eyed Susan'' being the most common). There are many such words in English that use names in a generic way: "peeping Tom,'' "jim-dandy,'' and "Jolly Roger'' are just a few. It is also possible that the combination of the "z'' sound in "lazy'' and the initial "s'' sound of "Susan'' appealed to the manufacturer of the lazy Susan, and in a brilliant marketing move, "lazy Susan'' was born.
nan really showed who's right and who's a weirdie.
Linds--that is no fun for you guys, are you as insufferable as your sissy? She is a major payne when she's hung.
If memory serves, and that's not guaranteed at this age, with milk on the "lazy susan", that means your purse will be in the oven and socks and underware should be under the couch cushion.

hmmm... I think at this point it is safe to say that the two votes for the Turn Style are mine and April's. Figures, I guess... since we grew up together.
Ok, we lose.
