Mistress GoaT - June 21st
13Good Morning!!
We have finally made it, today is the FIRST DAY OF SUMMER! Oh the fun summer brings. Beach trips, road trips, shenanigans all around.
What type of fun do you have planned OR what epic fun have you had in a previous summer?
I just need one favor. I can’t seem to reach my back, so can someone help me apply my sunscreen?

Many days at and on the lake. Good times.
Staying indoors, hoping for rain, playing a lot of chess and baking sourdough bread.

@UncleVinny Do you want my severe thunderstorm watch (which will probably get upgraded to a severe thunderstorm warning)?
@msklzannie @UncleVinny I will take it if he does not want it. I love thunderstorms!!
/giphy thunderstorm
@UncleVinny vinny, what gives? You don’t like the sun? But sourdough, yummm. Do you eat a slice hot out of the oven with butter on it?
@tinamarie1974 From the radar, it looks like you may end up with some of the rain from this system later on. (I’m in southern Iowa.)
@msklzannie they keep threatening rain, have all week. It has been dry as a bone here though
Fingers crossed they are right!
@msklzannie @tinamarie1974 I miss thunderstorms! I had them when I lived in Colorado for a while. Makes life more dramatic.
@moonhat the sun is treacherous! Always trying to give us cancer, ya know. But on the other hand…it’s the source of all our heat and energy. So I guess it’s a mixed bag. I honor our sparkly neighbor by staying indoors at all times except when I have to go out to buy flour, coffee or chess pieces.
Yes, I’m pretty fond of the ol’ warm slice of bread! One thing about this sourdough I’ve been making is that I can lean an entire loaf of it and not feel like I “overdid it” the next day. With the yeast loaves I used to make, I was also tempted to eat a TON of it, but felt very heavy the next day. Not quite a hangover, but…something? Anyway, this bread I’ve been eating soooo much of, and have no regrets.

Cue the DIO classic Rainbow in the Dark: “When I see lightning, you know it always brings me down. Cuz it’s free & I see that it’s me who’s lost & never found!”
@msklzannie it is here!!! Thunder and lightning. Yippie!!
@moonhat @UncleVinny looks yummy!
I’ll spend the day creating “defensible space” around the house and barn, should the wildfires decide to come this way this year, and so that CalFire doesn’t get on our case. Saturday, friends are having their yearly Solstice party which is always a good time …
/giphy defensible space
so i just learned that you can only hit the edit button on a post so many time while trying to pick a giphy before it just gives up, so I’m stuck with this one. There was a cute one of a little penguin being a soccer goalie I was trying to get back to …
@stolicat you have five minutes to edit. Doesn’t matter how many times you edit.
/giphy defensible space
@RiotDemon That’s it - Thanks! Didn’t know there was an overall time limit, thought it was 5 minutes from the last Save. Now I’ll know not to dawdle.
@stolicat I hope you don’t need it!
@RiotDemon @stolicat OMG that penguin is adorable!!! I just want to cuddle it!!!
@RiotDemon @stolicat @tinamarie1974 I am most impressed with his ability to block the ball when it is still inches away from him…
@chienfou @RiotDemon @tinamarie1974 penguins have magic …
Was hoping to go to the Phillies game tonight. Yeah, they suck right now but it’s Chase Utley retirement night and if you’re a baseball fan you know it’s kind of meaningful. Pretty much everyone I know is being a loser and doesn’t want to go.
@cinoclav well HOPEFULLY go go whether your friends join you or not!
/giphy people suck
@tinamarie1974 I’ve been considering it. Guess I’ll see how I feel after work.
@cinoclav just do it! You will be sorry if you don’t. The GoaT says so!
Resting/recovering. Too much junk food plus caffeine plus acid reflux equaled a peach milkshake that came back up just after it was finished last evening. At least it tasted okay going both directions.
Hopefully I’ll be fully recovered by the time I have to go to work tonight.

@msklzannie When I was 17, the summer after I graduated high school I spent a lot of time visiting friends who were staying down the shore in Wildwood, NJ. Fuzzy navels were big at the time and peach schnapps was super popular. One weekend I went down with a huge bottle but no orange juice to mix it with. Yep, I drank straight peach schnapps. A lot of it. Woke up on the top level of bunk beds in peach flavored vomit. Threw out the sheets which to this day I have no idea who they belonged to. I can’t do much that’s peach flavored anymore…
@cinoclav @msklzannie eewwweee
I think everyone has their poison. Mine is Jagermeister, cannot even smell it anymore without getting nauseous.
@tinamarie1974 I’ve never even drank much Jager and the smell of it turns my stomach.
@cinoclav YEARS ago I hosted a halloween party at my house. Didn’t really eat all day b/c I was busy getting the house ready, getting my costume ready, etc.
That said I had a BIG bottle of Jaeger and would do a shot w a guest when they walked in. I damn near drank the bottle when I hit the floor passed out. It was NOT a good experience, but it taught me to control myself.
@cinoclav @msklzannie @tinamarie1974
My nemesis is Mad Dog…
Fortunately, there’s no embarrassment in not liking that.
@cinoclav @msklzannie yah… 'tis why I can’t drink a screwdriver. Chugging contests with Tango Screwdriver.
@msklzannie I feel like there must be a Lucille Bluth giphy that’s appropriate here. Let’s find out!
/giphy Lucille bluth sympathy
@cinoclav @msklzannie @tinamarie1974 I can remember being introduced to Jagermeister as a CU student in 1974 or so… I had 2 Dutch roommates and we had probably the best/most diverse private bar in town. We would go to a liquor store the size of a grocery store and you could find ANYTHNG there. We would buy a bottle, make a mark in the dust of the next bottle and it would still be there the next time we came in… still like to sip one now and then. Liquor is one of my go-to souvenirs when I travel overseas.
@mfladd well, you were the first to offer, so
@tinamarie1974
@mfladd oh fancy!
@mfladd @tinamarie1974 How come we never see @mfladd in his speedos? (I’m afraid to giphy this.)
@Barney @mfladd a banana hammock. Those can be very scary! But since you don’t see me I cannot comment!
@mfladd @tinamarie1974 Alright, if you won’t do it I will.
/giphy banana hammock
@mfladd @tinamarie1974 Aw, too cute.
@Barney @mfladd omg!! Adorable
/image speedos
@Barney also OMG
@Barney @tinamarie1974 oof. That scene. Yes. Favorite Bond!
@Barney @RiotDemon You don’t like Sean Connery?
@Barney @tinamarie1974 a little before my time.
@Barney @RiotDemon well mine too. I am not THAT old LOL. But he is still sexy
@tinamarie1974 the last Bond movie he did was during the year I was born.
@RiotDemon @tinamarie1974 Gawd, I’m old. Sean Connery is MY James Bond and he’s the bestest. Now you young whippersnappers go and play.
@Barney @tinamarie1974 I didn’t get carded the last time I bought alcohol. That’s something, right?
@RiotDemon @tinamarie1974 I didn’t get carded either.
@Barney @RiotDemon it is for sure. I only started getting carded when I hit ~42!! I feel good about that.
@tinamarie1974
Who are you really… Benjamina Buttons??
@chienfou whoops…I meant stopped getting. Sorry, sometimes it is bad to do two things at one time.
@Barney @RiotDemon @tinamarie1974
Here is some Sean Connery banana hammock eye candy for y’all.
@Barney @mike808 @RiotDemon @tinamarie1974
Zardoz!
@Barney @mike808 @RiotDemon @tinamarie1974
@Barney @mike808 @tinamarie1974 no thank you.
@mike808 @RiotDemon @tinamarie1974 I hated Zardoz.
@Barney @mike808 @RiotDemon @rtjhnstn HELLO KITTY
@Barney @mike808 @RiotDemon um THAT is just wrong. I WEAR the thigh high boots and he looks like he is in a diaper
@Barney @RiotDemon @tinamarie1974
#24 in the 1953 Mr. Universe competition, Sir Sean Connery took 3rd place.
@Barney @RiotDemon @tinamarie1974
1992 Medicine Man.
62yo rocking a ponytail. Swimsuit optional.
@Barney @mike808 @RiotDemon MUCH better pics of Sean!
The name is Ellis. Tom Ellis.
@mike808 oh how I love Lucifer
That @mike808 sure does have a ready stable of shirtless men, doesn’t he @tinamarie1974? hmm
@mike808 @therealjrn true, but no complaints over here
@mike808 Supposedly Richard Madden from GoT is the first choice for the next 007. I’d really like to see an unknown actor cast in the role. As much as I hate the idea of Robert Pattinson as the next Batman, at least it takes him out of the running for Bond (which was a scary rumor).
