My esteemed co-GAPA Ms. Spector was on vacation for what seemed like eons, but now she has returned. I trust you’ll all give her a traditional high-calorie MuseBlog welcome.

Hello Rosanne! Bienvenido! *splatter* It’s good to have you with us. How was your vacay? I PoMo’ed my house while thou wert missing from our Company of worthy MuseBloggers.
hiiiieeeeeeeeeee!!!
*gives her authentic tc cherry pie*
HI, Queenie J and all you MuseBloggers,
I was at the beach in South Carolina. I did a lot of body surfing and even tried “real” surfing one day. Aside from that I read a lot, ate a lot, and talked with the various family members in the environs. It was flamablamablous.
Queenie J: Just what did you do to your house to make it as PoMo as all get out?
Slurp. *licks cherry pie filling off right arm*
Thanks, emogrl!
3-I refurnished it, cleaned it, organized it, painted some parts, and replaced some parts that were Pre-Mo. I’m impressed you understand the abbrevation-most adults say “You mowed? How nice.” I also rewired the doorbell so that when I’m gone I can set it to say “Hey man, you rang the bell when Queenie J and her family were out, you pathetic loser. If this has happened to you before, take it as a hint that I would rather stick my foot in a bacon slicer than go out with you. If it hasn’t, please leave me a message after the tone and tell me your name, serial code, and shabby excuse for being here. Have a satisfactory astral rotation!” and then it has a tone, you leave a message (I tested it-it works) and then it plays “Marvin I Love You”.
Yay! Good tto see you. We’re going to North Carolina this summer. Is the water relitively warm? It’ll probably be colder by us, but what about you?
* gives large chocolate pie and a hug* what qualifies as real surfing in south carolina?
Queenie J (5): I don’t know where I picked up PoMo. The word must be in the atmosphere since I live close to San Francisco.
You should set up a camera to catch the reactions to your doorbell. Though that might be ilegal. Better check first.
Jadestone (6): The water IS warm! Perfect. I bet North Carolina will be great too.
I love your doorbell!!
Welcome back! *Pies Rosanne with a welcome back pumpkin pie*
Did you see any of my relatives? some of them live near there (southern california that is) They wander around wearing t-shirts that say “I’m related to a MuseBlogger!”. Just kidding.
Do we not say PoMo here in the Midwest or something? Whassitmean?
Welcom back, OEAD-sensei? (OEAD-sama? Despite the fact that I use honorifics randomly all the time, I’m terrible with them. In this case, though, I think either would work.)
*piepiepiepiepie* welcome back!!!!! *splat*
Welcome back, Rosanne! How long were you gone?
Hello Rosanne! *gives plum pie* Hurrah! Southern California. Excellent.
Surfing is fun. Hard though- I’ve only actually managed to stand up once or twice.
Skipper feels highly ignorant, but must ask, what in zark’s name does PoMo mean?
Hello, Rosanne! *gives hug and then deviously pies with choklit pie* My sister surfs whenever we go on vacation. I don’t go anywhere near the water…
Yes, what does PoMo mean?
10, 13, 14-PoMo is an abbreviation for the term postmodern. It’s used generally as an adjective, but is also a verb and noun. So, “Last weekend I PoMo’ed my PoMo PoMo-room.” means “Last weekend I postmoderned my postmodern postmodern-room.” in my slang, which is both unique and cryptic and designed not to be understood by DIRPs. Understanding all of it is a WOMBAT, but most of it is hoopy skid.
3- For real? What beach was it? I might have seen you! *pies*
Welcome back!
*Pies Rossane* Welllllllllllllllllllllllcome Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!!!!!!
What was the most exciting thing that happened to you while you where there?
I can never get used to WOMBAT as a bad thing.. In my family, wombat has a completely different (and somewhat opposite) meaning.
As in “hellooo my little wombats” or “bonks potatoes and wombats” or “there were lots of little wombats running around” (in reference to a flock of quail) or just plain “wombats!” when you’re bored and don’t have anything to say.
*pies Rosanne with a blueberry welcome back pie*
*pies Roseanne with a welcome back blueberry pie*
I wasn’t familiar with the term “PoMo”, but then again that’s not surprising since I’m in Kentucky and people here don’t keep up with the latest abbreviations very well, lol. :p
Yeah, whats PoMo? Or postmodern or whatever? I really didn’t understand 15…
8- I hope it’s warm. I don’t like being cold, tho I usually make an exception for oceans…
And I haven’t pied you yet have I? *pies Rosanne with welcome back Key-lime* splatt! Yum. [}~
what’s WOMBATS?
You’re going to North California, JS? Me too! Just for a week, near San Francisco. So not really north, more mid-north. The water where we go is usuallt fairly cold, but tolerable. It’s easy enough to get used to anyway. It’s beautiful and there are lots of seals in the water, too.
23) WOMBAT stands for Waste of Money, Brains and Time. I believe the acronym was invented by Queen J.
A wombat is a furry, fat animal that lives in Australia. Baby ones are really cute, but when they’re full grown their tough enough to total an SUV. (well, perhaps that’s a slight exaggeration but you get th picture).
Welcom back, *pies with apple pie* Is california cool. I’m going to a surf camp there thins summer.

heres a nice big tuna pie and a welcome back card.
15- hahaha. I feel smart now. I figured out that PoMo stood for post modern all by my lonesome!
27- that is a lot of chocolate (choklit)
Wow. Thanks for all the pie, the chocolate and the welcome back card. It makes the return from vacation much sweeter.
Gwendolyn of the Eastern Seas (16): Yes, for real. I was on IOP (Isle of Palms) — though I went into Charleston for a day and also went to a great farmer’s market in Mount Pleasant where I got some tasty spiced pork rinds and heavenly peaches.
General clarification: My vacation was in South Carolina, not Southern California!!
Capricious the great and terrible (17): The most exciting thing I did on my vacation was … . Hmmm. That’s a hard one to answer. It wasn’t all that exciting. The theme was relaxation. Riding waves on the boogie board and surf board was exciting, though. I love doing that. Having key lime pie for the first time was exciting too. (Thanks, Jadestone, for pieing me with some more of that tasty stuff.)
Howdy Rose.
I just got back from a camping trip myself.
It was pretty neat.
Hope you had a good vacation.
I’ve had lemon Merigue pie. It taasted… Wierd I like Chocolate Merigue pie better.
What does key lime pie taste like. LIMES???
30- That is cool beans. I just went to the IOP yesterday. Please tell me you went to Coconut Joe’s (the big turquoise and pink building), or at least the shop where they have the parrot and a million hermit crabs! Did you take a carriage ride in Charleston? If so, you probably know that sinister tale behind oliander tea, or you’ve at least got a couple of good ghost tales. Or maybe you went to the Aquarium, where there are TWO parrots in the beginning of the Amazon exhibit (this is turning into a post about those little winged talking dudes, isn’t it?). Yes, Mount Pleasant has some wonderful farmers’ markets, but their property prices suck, this coming from the girl who’s mom is a real estate agent.
Sorry, I’m hyper about anyone on MuseBlog visiting South Carolina, and Roseannne was within the tri-county area that I live in. Ergo, I am SUPER HYPER!!!!!!!!!
32- Not too tart
Not too sweet
My baby loves to watch me eat her
Key Lime Pie, her Key Lime Pie
PoMo-postmodern.
Is that so hard for you to understand, Jadestone? It’s really very simple. Post-after. So postmodern-aftermodern.
Key Lime pie tastes like keys… kidding. Its accually very good. I had it at Red Lobster. It tastes kinda like limeade.
Gwendolyn (33): I’m going to have to go back to Charleston and the IOP to do all those things! I did SEE Coconut Joe’s but I didn’t go in. Ditto the carriages in Charleston, which I did think looked like a lot of fun. We didn’t have much time, though, and wanted to walk around and bop in and out of shops and walk down alleyways and visit cemeteries, and eat mango Italian ice at Waterfront Park and get wet in the fountain. So no carriage ride for us. We also weren’t keen on spending the $$ for the ride.
One really cool thing I saw while I was there was a lightning storm. It went on for hours but there was no thunder and no rain. The whole western sky flashed with a reddish tinge over and over again. At first I thought it might be a distant fireworks display. But then I saw a rare lightning bolt so I knew it must be lightning. We don’t have lightning like that where I live. Actually we hardly ever have any lightning of any kind here.
Kiki_the_great (12): I was gone for two weeks!!
37- where I live we have thunderstorms all the time. It is funny to see people’s reactions to lightning and thunder and all for the first time and to hear stories about it.
It must really be a shock to be in a thunderstorm for the first time. It’s very dramatic, all that flashing and crashing.
40- I find it comforting and cozy. I’m sitting inside a warm house with a family that loves me protected from the storm.
Oops. I really can read, I swear. Just not all the time. (I believe it was I who made the Carolina/California mixup).
Thunderstorms are comforting, in an exciting sort of way.
We have many thunderstorms. When we’re not in drought season. Which is pretty much every other year. PA is weird like that. And then we have “nor-easters” or however it is spelled…and get entire weeks off of school due to huge amounts of snow. And the fact that NONE of the schools around here have heating/cooling systems that work. Yay, NEPA!
37- Yah, the carriage rides can be sorta expensive…
5: One of Jadestone’s friends changed her answering machine to say: “Hello, this is Lianna’s toaster! Her answering machine is at the repair shop right now, and I’m filling in. So just sing out your message at the beep and I’ll char it onto a piece of toast for when she gets back! Bye!” in a really perky, toaster-who’s-extremely-excited-about-being-an-answering-machine-for-a-little-while, kind of voice. Although it’s actually Lianna’s voice.
That’s what I think the funnest thing about having a cell phone would be. Programming in really funny messages. Not that anyone would actually call me and hear them. But whatever. It’d still be fun.
45- No she didn’t. I wrote her a note(cause she’a not alowed on the phone. Thats why I told her to reprogram the machine foe my-I mean her entertainment.) telling her she should do that. I don’t think she really did tho.
5- You rewired the doorbell to say all that and then let you leave a message? Wow. I want one of those.
ditto on the doorbell thing!
I just got back from a vacation, too, Rosanne! For church we reenacted a pioneer handcart trek in Iowa, because it’s been 150 years since the Mormon handcarts came through. We walked 19 miles in pioneer dresses, and it was a blast!
WOMBAT is also a test that JK Rowling has on her official site to figure out if you’re a great wizard or not. Of course, it takes some puzzling first.
Out of curiousity and completely off subject, but Veralidaine, is your puesodenym (No clue how it’s spelled) from the Immortals Series, by Tamora Pierce? Veralidaine Sarrasri is the main character.
Veralidaine (47): That must’ve been an interesting experience (the handcart trek). Any insights you care to share?
cool, welcome back and what did you say.
41- I agree! Thunderstorms make me feel safe. (I know that sounds wierd but they do.) Has anyone on Museblog ever NOT been in a thunderstorm?
48: Yup.
Rosanne: Insights…hm……food and water are good, but too much CAN be a bad thing. Especially siince the only bathroom was 4 porta-potties being driven a mile behind.
And skirts get tangled up in your legs. Ick.
Memorize lots of songs beforehand-it can get VERY boring.
It heightened my respect of the pioneers, because we were well-cared for and we only walked a little bit, and we were dead. THey did this with worse materials, less food, and way more stuff, and with the old and hte young. They walked from Iowa City to Utah. That’s a LONG way.
Veralidaine (52),
On the other hand, the pioneers didn’t have to use porta potties. I wonder what they would’ve thought of them.
Veralidaine-I love that series! Have you read Trickster’s Choice and it’s sequel?
