I had one of those dreams the other night... one of those dreams that had everyone and anyone in it... I was sitting on the deck up in Wisconsin looking out at the lake when I noticed what seemed to be Grizzled, a lamblet... and I think MenD... on the swim raft.
I turned to tell the person next to me and was surprised to find out it was Snag... who was talking to Von.
There seemed to be beer involved.
Next thing I knew... a zombie was walking through the door. No, not just a zombie... an entire zombie family...
The dream gets a little fuzzy after that, but I woke up smiling... knowing it had been a good dream... and that I had laughed... A LOT!
The Live Zardoz compares favorably to Endless Goobie Thread.

I was thinking of it more as the Upfront and Personal Zardoz. :)
And... we easily topped 10,000 comments.

True on both counts!! Such a great time!!
Posted by: Von | August 16, 2010 at 11:27 AM
I can neither confirm nor deny knowing anything about those beer bottles....
Posted by: Von | August 16, 2010 at 11:28 AM
See, it must have been a dream because none a them bottles are from Lakefront Brewery.
Posted by: zombie rotten mcdonald | August 16, 2010 at 11:44 AM
These were the ones Grizzled cleared off before you arrived...

I didn't have such a nice dream this weekend, but I did get to mow my lawn in 1000 degree heat. So I got that going for me.

One of the dogs did pull a dead fish out of the lake. Perhaps you were trying to rehydrate and reanimate.

I forgot to add... noodle and balls.
Posted by: Jennifer | August 16, 2010 at 12:18 PM
Sounds like fun. Too bad I could have been there. With my non-Apple devices.
Posted by: Mandos | August 16, 2010 at 12:25 PM
er, couldn't have. Multitasking here.
Posted by: Mandos | August 16, 2010 at 12:25 PM
All devices were welcome, Mandos! We would have protected you from the Zombie and his Apple issues...
Posted by: Jennifer | August 16, 2010 at 12:30 PM
no you couldn't have.
Posted by: zombie rotten mcdonald | August 16, 2010 at 12:55 PM

Posted by: Jennifer | August 16, 2010 at 12:59 PM
Snag would have hidden Mandos in the Snag Lair... right next to his bourbon bowl.

Also, has anyone tried their bacon, chocolate bars yet? Was anyone else thinking maybe bacon doesn't go with everything??
Posted by: Jennifer | August 16, 2010 at 01:07 PM
I was going to make brownies later.
Double-chocolate-bacon-[ingredient redacted] brownies.
Posted by: zombie rotten mcdonald | August 16, 2010 at 01:47 PM
I'm guessing the redacted ingredient is not sea minerals.
Von and MenD- next gift bag will include plenty of sea minerals. :)
And a machine gun. Huhhuhhuhhuhuh.
Posted by: Jennifer | August 16, 2010 at 01:53 PM
Snag is awfully quiet and absent today... now while he probably said that he was out of town, or taking care of serious business, I've most likely forgotten, and am now thinking that a Snag-viewing is much like seeing Santa. You only see him once and then he never comes again.
Of course, I'm guessing Von is trying to stay unfired at this very moment, and MenD is probably still trying to get the airlines to give him back his carry on. I swear, I put no corn in there.
Posted by: Jennifer | August 16, 2010 at 01:56 PM
You only see him once and then he never comes again.
At least three times, by my count.

Sorry about getting the crazy all over everything.

Do zombies get hangovers?
An empty bottle of Spotted Cow. I am officially jealous.
Posted by: Brando | August 16, 2010 at 02:16 PM
I'm here - but barely at least for this week.
Haven't tried the chocolate yet, but probably will tonight!
SEAMINERALS!!!!
huhuhuhuhuhuuuuuh
Noodle and balls indeed. The sign was in Spring Grove, but it was only on the other side of the road - bastards.
Brando - I think I may have had ALL of the Spotted Cow by myself. I was so happy!!
Posted by: Von | August 16, 2010 at 03:20 PM
Do zombies get hangovers?
Apparently, not as long as I don't mix my alcohols. If I start with rum, beer, and whiskey, than STICK with rum, beer, and whiskey.
Posted by: zombie rotten mcdonald | August 16, 2010 at 03:21 PM
An empty bottle of Spotted Cow.
"An" empty bottle? Apparently they didn't have the wide lens.
Posted by: zombie rotten mcdonald | August 16, 2010 at 03:22 PM
Von- we had limited Spotted Cow so everyone knew it was earmarked for you.
I should have posted a photo of the beer fridge before it was violated.
Posted by: Jennifer | August 16, 2010 at 03:30 PM
Yes, yes, but how were the Perseids? You're getting distracted.
Posted by: herr doktor bimler | August 16, 2010 at 03:33 PM
Yes, yes, but how were the Perseids?
Couldn't find the bourbon glasses.
Posted by: zombie rotten mcdonald | August 16, 2010 at 03:37 PM

They were fabulous on Thursday night when they were at their peak and it was clear. Friday... too overcast. Saturday... distraction ruled.

hdb did come up in conversation quite a few times though so I would not be surprised if your ears were burning. I hope you were wearing your smoking jacket.
Posted by: Jennifer | August 16, 2010 at 03:40 PM
Wait! He did? Where was I?
Posted by: zombie rotten mcdonald | August 16, 2010 at 04:02 PM
Ahem... if you'll recall, you were only there for a portion of the weekend.
He most certainly did.

If you were trying to make precision optics out of frozen whiskey, you were DOIN IT RONG.

ZRM left early? Did the beer run out?

But disposing of the prototypes was delightful.

It was indeed!

(1) Pour bourbon into Snag's cereal bowl.
(2) Cereal bowl goes on turntable so that surface of rotating bourbon is parabolic.
(3) Bowl and turntable go into hospital freezer.
(4) Parabolic mirror! Better than lenses.
Posted by: herr doktor bimler | August 16, 2010 at 04:39 PM
So... where were you when we needed you??
Posted by: Jennifer | August 16, 2010 at 04:41 PM
yes, he could have been sampling the sea minerals.

I was also only partially there for the majority of that portion.
Posted by: zombie rotten mcdonald | August 16, 2010 at 05:31 PM
Good point.
Posted by: Jennifer | August 16, 2010 at 05:33 PM
You people are going to make even less sense than usual, now.
Posted by: herr doktor bimler | August 16, 2010 at 06:13 PM
I woke up smiling
When will my brain get et?
Posted by: Substance McGravitas | August 16, 2010 at 06:52 PM
I dare not wake up smiling. The Frau Doktorin would suspect, rightly or wrongly, that I had been up to sheanigans.

I seriously doubt fish has the higher average lawn mowing temperature (HALMT).

Unfortunately we only had spotted cows.

Are there any dog-jumping-into-lake-pictures?

Posted by: ifthethunderdontgetya™³²®© | August 16, 2010 at 10:17 PM
Not from this year... although if I had taken them, they would have looked pretty much like last year's. I could have taken a "dog being helped into the lake" picture, but didn't have the camera when YL gave a hip check to Little Squirmy Dog.
Posted by: Jennifer | August 16, 2010 at 10:19 PM

Yeah, but I have actual grass instead of dirt piles.
Posted by: fish | August 16, 2010 at 10:24 PM
Snag would have hidden Mandos in the Snag Lair... right next to his bourbon bowl.
It drinks the bourbon or it gets the hose again.
Posted by: zombie rotten mcdonald | August 16, 2010 at 11:21 PM
I like that second photo!
