Terminalcoffee discussion

BunWat, you have fans. For those of you who don't know BunWat, she's neato. She's also one of our newest moderators. You can take my word for it, or you can read her posts here in TC, and you'd realize very quickly that she's smart. She's funny. She's witty. And she seems to be an information sponge (especially when it comes to history and literature and science). Sally frequently directs questions to her because she's the gal with the answers.

She doesn't start many threads in our group (in fact, Bun, have you started any?), so it seemed appropriate to designate one for her. And two of us (Sally and I) decided Bun needed her very own discussion folder and discussion topic because we like what she has to say.

Perhaps we could use this thread to post questions to Bun? Or start a discussion with Bun? Or Bun could use it as her forum to start any discussions about whatever's on her mind. Let's just see how this shapes up. :)

where can i get my bunwat t-shirt?

If we have a snowball fight, who do you want on your team and why?

Bun, want to go out for Thai?

Hi, TawNub. :)

I wanna go out for Thai with you and Jammies, too.

I see the snowball gauntlet has been thrown!

WOOO!!! Okay, who's gonna be on the other team for the snowball fight? This bear needs to strategize.

Oh, and I probably need the bear avatar as a scare tactic.

I battle of the bear avatars.

I would be afraid of Smetchie, true. But the rest of you are easy targets. Also, most of you are from snow-free climates, so you have little experience. Jim, Clark and I...this is in our collective wheelhouse.

I was thinking the same thing RA. We could also stick Kevin in there.

>:(

Is that your look after getting hit with a snowball? :-)

Not only that, but at least seven of them lack a Y chromosome and therefore throw like girls.

Yay! I got picked! Apparently I need to learn some curses.
Psst...somebody pick Barb - she's Canadian. A ringer.

I'm not to be feared in a snowball fight. Unless you're afraid I'll drink all your beer while you're outside playing in the snow. Then you're damn smart to fear me.

On second thought if there is beer, maybe I'll sit inside with smetchie.

Beer is not the proper snowball fight drink. Irish coffee, anyone? OK, maybe, maybe a good winter stout.

Beer is ALWAYS the proper drink in my world.

IRISH COFFEE!!! LOAD UP THE WHISKEY!

WOO!

And I may throw like a girl, but I also kick and punch like one, too (and I'm not above grabbing a fella's jewels if he tests that)... in yo face!

I suspect my bear-ness will help in the snowball fight.

I'm not terribly accurate, but I make up for it with multi-snowball blitzes. One of them is bound to hit the mark. If that fails, I charge and then dump snow down the back of your jacket. It doesn't make friends, but it's effective.

What part of "snowball fight" is too complicated for you southerners? You take snow (which, true, you may never have seen) and throw it at each other. Heidi seems to think this is some sort of Ultimate Fighting event.

Also, yes, we have Kevin! I bet he's good at this.

I'll bring along the trebuchets to take down ken's fort.

Did I miss the Thai dinner? I'd much rather have Thai than Chinese, to be honest. As I believe we have previously discussed, I'm fairly sure I could eat Thai happily for every meal for the rest of my life.

All I'm saying is, leave me and my girls alone or it's SO on!!!

WOOO!!! TELL 'EM, TAWNUB!

What exactly do you mean by my girls? :-)

But you've acclimated to warm weather now.

You're one of us, Jim!

High five?

Who told you about my m.o.?

Yes, but you HATE snow:)

Dammit! What are the parameters? Heidi can't kick us in the balls in this climate, right?

I'll be drinking margaritas whilst you guys have your water fight.

However if it gets back to a snowball fight, I'm in.

*sits down next to jim*

you said something about margaritas?

Just mixing 'em up!

Now we're talkin'

i'm the one who throws the sloppy slush balls and makes someone mad thus ruining the whole deal

Thanks Sarah!

Have a seat Barb, there's one available in front of Phil :-)

I'll watch and make the coffee. I'll make crumb cake to go with it. or if you are lucky, some homemade crepes. I like Bushmills or Jameson's in my coffee. How about you?

i think this thread should be called "Bun, what?"

I'll take crepes, especially if we've gone back to winter.
Jameson is just fine for coffee. If we're drinking it neat, I'll take Middleton, hang the cost.

I LOVE the supersoaker fight idea!!!

At my high school, on the last day of school, you had to run out the exit and a couple of blocks to avoid being hit by the water guns. Some of them were rumored to be filled with Nair. I don't know if that was true or not.

Ok, I want to ask more questions of Bun. Bun, you don't have to answer all of them.

Bun, describe the first time you were ever drunk in your life.

Bun, what makes you so happy you almost cry?

Bun, what do you remember most about your childhood bedroom?

Awww, I've never been chosen for a team before! Feel special! yay!!!!

I love your questions, Anthony. If you were a 4 year old, you might be annoying, but seeing as you're not, they aren't. :)

haha Kevin
