I came home from work yesterday and found a package waiting for me in my stack of mail. It was a belated birthday present from Polt! Knowing that Polt could only be a bearer of awesomeness I opened it excitedly and found something beyond my wildest dreams. A Puntabulous Calendar! How fun is that?! He organized getting 10 other bloggers and frequent commenters and had them each submit a picture and gave them each a month!
January: Enrico from Hotel Tuesday.
February: Bossy from I am Bossy and the Vanilla vs Chocolate debate. And did you know I was one of Bossy’s featured gays?
March: Dave S from Life on the C-Bus and the To Work Out or Not to Work Out debate.
April: FDot from I Deny You the Nidus!
May: Tam from Ottowa, Ontario and the Puntabulous Parade.
June: Michelle M from Denver, Colorado and the Puntabulous Parade.
July: Heather, Mark (TwoPi), and Godzilla from 360 – The Math Blog and your lesson on disasters at sea cruises.
August: Casey from Moosh in Indy and the Cookie vs Brownie and Tall vs Short debates.
September: Suburban Kamikaze from the Winter vs Summer debate.
October: John and his adorable (and evil) Bunny from Rhode Island and the Puntabulous Parade.
November: Polt from Polt’s Palace and the Urban vs Rural debate.
December: Me and my reindeer ears!
Here they are for your viewing pleasure!
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: I have the most awesome fans in the blogosphere! Thank you very much Polt for organizing that for me! It’s incredible! And thank you everyone who submitted!
On a complete unrelated topic. I was craving sugar in a bad way so my admin assist gave me a Halloween size bag of M&M peanuts. God I hate M&M peanuts. But I ate them, so obviously I’m lying to myself about hating them. But I didn’t enjoy them. What a way to waste sugar intake, on something you don’t even like.
Ugh! I hate Peanut M&Ms! What a waste of a perfectly good M&M!
But I’d still eat them too…
A: The Blackberry Storm. (already got my green plastic case for it) No red phones for me… I have enough red in my life due to work. (Tgt)
B: Thanks for calling it little.
C: I don’t eat Nuts (peanut or otherwise) or Bananas. Was told I am alergic to them and never got curious about tempting fate. Note: Insert phallic jokes about nuts and bananas here.

Wow, everything I was thinking has already been said.
Dave S: Don’t worry about the rugby shorts pics, I think I have enough to satisfy me for now.
Yes I had to go there.
Polt: The calendar was awesome. I can only hope that one day I may study at the feet of “His Purpleness”
That is a good birthday story Jeff, and Happy Birthday!
Mine is this Sunday.
You know, Craig has an interesting birth (kinda) story involving suicide, and mine was documented here:
http://hoteltuesday.blogspot.com/2008/10/my-birthday.html
And now lets all turn our attention to Polt, who will surely comment on Mark studying at his feet.
Oh, and I’m not a huge nut fan, but I do love bananas
And this is only SLIGHTLY off-topic, but I was using Urban Dictionary last night and I put in “Craig” and got some sweet results. And they were mostly homosexual in nature too! Isn’t that crazy?
I’ll say it for you Craig, DAMN LARRY CRAIG!!!!
jeff: I’ve heard if the girl bracelet is left on a boy too long their thingy falls off.
So I assume they got it off in time…
(and Target is awesome!!)
-jeff: it’s said before but sorry you’re not feeling well, have a happy birthday anyway, enjoy your phone, and I’m glad your ‘little’ thingee didin’t fall off from the bracelet.
HUGS…
Tam & Craiggers: I hate peanut M&Ms too.
As for the nuts and bananas debate, I LOVE nuts of all kinds, but not real big on bananas, which is really pretty weird when you think about it. You’ve think I’d be…>ahem< all over bananas considering my other tastes.
HUGS…
Mark: I can pretty well assure you that it’s not my feet I’d like to have your worshipping. (quit rolling your eyes everyone! Yes you KNEW I’d say it, but wouldn’t have been disappointed if I hadn’t????)
Enrickyricardo: I DO so love it when all attention is turned towards me. now, shall I juggle, do a little soft-shoe, or since some showtunes?
HUGS…
I prefer peanut M&Ms. They are softer and bigger than the chocolate ones. Everytime we have guests, bf buys a Costco-size bag and then we get to finish it during the next couple of days, yummy. He also bought one as part of our emergency rations when our first hurricane was approaching Orlando. The storm was an absolute snooze, but we ate the m&ms anyway….
-jeff: I too love Target, but I shop more at Wal-Mart (loathe though I am to admit it) cause there’s one a lot closer to me than a Target.
HUGS…
bernd: Orlando??? I thought you were in Germany!!! Don’t guess they get many hurricanes in Deutschland, though, do they?
HUGS…
Polt: As long as it doesn’t involve VPL, we’re good.
And peanut M&M’s kick ass! Of course, he is the yellow M&M and the yellow M&M is kinda dopey…
Wal-Mart is the devil.
Truly AWESOME! You guys really did a great job, when will they be available to buy on Amazon? Or at least a poster of March
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEFF! I hope you are feeling better!
Tam: I LOVE nuts, I always have a jar of fancy nuts in my cupboard to snack on (and peanut M&Ms are the BOMB)
Jeff: I’m sorry. I’m sure you’ve grown since then. Oh and “Yay Blackberry Storm”! Way to support the Canadian ICT industry. You’re my hero.
Bernd: I’d like to think that I too could be consoled with a giant bag of M&Ms if my house blew away.
Polt: How about bananas AND nuts. A banana dipped in chocolate rolled in nuts. Oh yeah. Obviously that crappy bag of M&Ms did nothing to curb my sugar craving.
Hey everyone, great news i’m commenting from my new phone right now!
-jeff
Every Christmas my sister make the same (cereal, pretzel, cheesy, nut snack mix) that everybody makes, but she always saves me some brazil nuts and cashews. My sister is the coolest!
Jeff: Congrats. I’m sure your birthday is much better now.
Mark: I hate Brazil nuts. They always taste like soap to me. Cashews however, yummy.
Crap, I am late for a meeting I don’t want to be at and am pretending I’m doing important work instead. This is important no? Okay, I better go. They said “refreshments”. Maybe there is sugar.
Tam: Brazil nuts have a woody taste to me. I wonder why i love them so much?
I love sugar. And I’d take M&Ms in any form, though when it comes to sugar, I like non-chocolate candy better. Fruity stuff.
And know what else I’m kinda loving right now? Beyonce signing in Spanish! “Si yo fuera un chico” is so good!
I just want to thank everyone for making my Birthday so much better. The friendship and support shown by each of you is overwhelming and deeply appreciated.
Thanks!
-jeff
Polt, nope, no Deutschland, today is my 9th Anniversary of moving to the US, approximately 30 lbs ago.
Why does everybody assume that gay guys automatically like bananas, hot-dogs, churros, cucumbers etc? I like all the above but still bite or cut them before eating, which I’ve never done to a penis.
btw Jeff, happy 24, have fun with your new toy and get better soon.
Tam, our house won’t blow away in a hurricane. It’s a 150 unit steel and concrete condo-complex.
Tam: I hope they have Sarah Lee “Apple Orchard” danish. If you like sugar you’ll LOVE it. But you’re already gone so guess i’m too late
Oh Enrico, you would prob like them too. Fruity and sweet.
-jeff: I wonder if our comments sound any different on your new phone?
I love the cashews most of all…but if I eat too many of them I get a migraine. Figures, don’t it?
HUGS…
Bernd: “I like all the above but still bite or cut them before eating”
Funniest thing I’ve heard today!
Enrico, ‘fruity and sweet’….aren’t those words synonymous?
bernd: Hmm, wonder why I thought you were in Germany? It’s not like me to be so geographically challenged….
HUGS…
jeff: congrats on the new phone!! It’s always cool getting new technology!
Okay, dilemma: I greatly value getting Christmas cards in the mail (ironically the only ones I’ve gotten so far are from Puntabulou folk). There’s just something about it that’s warm and fuzzy during the holidays. So I’m faced with whether I send my own out or not. It’s high-stress for me since I’ll have to compile a new list and all (my ex has the address database and I’m not going to talk to her unless I absolutely have to – as in one of the children have died or gone to jail) and trying to find the time. High-stress or reflect the joy? What to do, what to do…
Of course you should send some out. At least acknowledge the good puntabulous people that have sent you one. And if you want, (beg,beg) you can send me one at Mark Duncan, 24136 Pierce Cir, Windsor, VA 23487.
No, I’m not scared. You can even google the address and see on street view what a dump I live in. (Rent Free).
OK, have I expressed my patheticness enough?
It’s really that high stress? Just send ones out THIS year to people who have sent to you (you should have their return addresses on the envelopes). That can be the start of your new…database (I call mine an “address book”, but I’m not up with the current tech). Then, next year, you’ll have that and can add to it over the year, or spend more time earlier in the fall getting a more comprehensive ‘database’ together before next Christmas.
But me, I’m basically lazy, so if i were in your shoes I’d just bask in the joy (and subsequnet guilt that I know you’ll feel for not sending any out) and have another glass of wine.
HUGS…
Polt, that’s brilliant. Simple, but brilliant! The Dave joy shall spread this Christmas!
Mark: You’ll be one of the first.
Mark: And I like apple, so maybe I would like those. You can feel free to send them to me for my b-day!
Christmas cards are nice. Except I leave school next Monday, then I’ll be in Mexico til Jan 12th (no comments from me for a while!) so I won’t be getting any til much later. haha.
Enrico: Jan 12th is my birthday, does that mean you’ll be coming to VA when you leave Mexico?
I will be in Texas briefly, so if you wanna meet up there, that’s cool with me!
I’ve never left NY, NJ, and PA, so I’m super excited!
Dave said: Mark: “You’ll be one of the first.”
Craig, Michelle, Tam, His Purpleness, Enrico, joemoe, and everybody else ? Do I need to get on my knees and beg????
Aww…three or four weeks without comments from Enrico? You’ll be missed. Don’t go off getting cholera or anything…
Mark: Umm…You’re begging for cards, right? Just wanted to, y’know, make sure…
Alright, I’m taking off from work! Woohoo! One more week and I’m off for the following 2!
Sorry, just had to brag there for a second before I left.
Dave S. Ummm begging??? No I just thought that…….OK I”M BEGGING!!! Please, there’s no telling what Craig might do if I don’t get any Christmas cards.
Jeff: Happy Birthday!
Dave S: I didn’t notice your VPL, but I was a little disturbed by the jock strap alternative. Oh, and I’ve heard that Camel Toe is to women as Moose Knuckle is to men.
Peanut M&M’s are awesome, but dark chocolate ones are better. Bananas are good too, especially with ice cream or cereal.
Casey: You have the bluest eyes ever!
Suburban Kamikazi: Why should Dave S. get all the attention? I’ll say it (a-la-Steve Martin in My Blue Heaven) You’re so hot, you could melt all that stuff (the snow that is).
Aww, thanks Dave S. I’m sure everyone will be glad for an Enrico break
: P
I wanted to copy Craig, I mean, follow in the steps of my blogging hero and have some peeps do guest posts while I’m away but I don’t really know how to set that up…
Mark: No Sara Lee or anything with sugar. Unless you count those little packets for coffee. HOLY BORING AS HELL!!!! I can tell when my Director is bored stupid because he starts drawing on his coffee cup. It was lovely when it was over.
Mark: I just wrote your adress on the envelope. Keep an eyeball out in about a month. (Canada Post remember) I’ll mail it this weekend, Promise.
Dave: Reflect the joy and just send me one … and Mark of course or he’ll whine. Polts suggestion hold merit though.
Enrico: Damn, you leave on Monday as in the 15th or the 22nd. If the 15th I’m screwed and there is no way in hell you’ll get my cards. Don’t think I forgot about you. Have a blast in Mexico. No snow. Ahhhhhhhh. I might even consider sleeping in a hammock for no snow. Ummm, actually no I wouldn’t.
Dave: I’m jealous you are off for two week. I’m off from noon the 24th (when they send us home) to Jan. 5, which looks pretty damn good when I type it out. So I’m not complaining.
Enrico: If there is anyone who would be happy to talk you through it I’m sure Craig is that person. Don’t know that for a fact, I’m just guessing.
Anyway, Goodnight!
I’m going to sleep having good dreams about Dave and Tam. Thanks “guys”, luv ya!
