Pookie and the family get dressed up!

[Zomby Woof]

For the newbies and occasional Lounge Lizards, Pookie is the name of my big toe. Pookie likes to hang out with the yaks, slackers, and lowlife threadjackers who hang in the Lounge. NSMA likes to spread the nasty rumor that Pookie is a freeper, but don't you believe it! Pookie would nevr vote for anyone who had no 'sole'. ;-)

Here's a pic from the last family outing:

1. Cute family

:7

[salinen]

3. I think I saw the little one

at a rave concert last week totally fried on something. I know, the old line about sleeping over at a friends house.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

2. I see the freep is now incognito!

Befriend that smelly thing at your own peril :D

[Zomby Woof]

4. This guy is prepared!

[Philostopher]

5. Hmm ... I think I originally noted this, too --

NSMA may have a point -- Pookie is a right big toe, after all.

[Zomby Woof]

6. Pookie isn't much into politics!

He likes to 'jam' with other toes!

[Susang]

7. Is Pookie wearing a headscarf?

He slightly resembles my old Polish grandma. If she were still alive that is. ;-)

[Zomby Woof]

8. I had a Polish grandma too!

Damn, I think you're like some long lost sister. :-)

[Susang]

9. Was she named Mary?

Chances are good if she's Polish and Catholic she's got at least one Mary in her name somewhere. It helps when you want to be chosen to crown the statue of Mary with flowers on May day.

BTW, Mary is my middle name, Marie is my mother's middle name and finally, my grandma's middle name was Philomena. We Catholic-born are really just a bunch of closet goddess worshippers. :evilgrin:

[Zomby Woof]

11. Marie was her middle name LOL

She was born in the US, but her parents immigrated not long before, and she grew up bilingual. So she was American, but hey, I like to bond with fellow Poles! :D

Rosalie was her first name.

[Susang]

15. Oh those wacky Poles

They have so many variations of Mary to stick their poor girl-children with. I was lucky to get Susan; my cousins got names like Helen, Angie, Sophie (which I actually kinda like in it's Polish form Zosia), Teresa, and Anne.

[Zomby Woof]

16. She was called Rose

Which I love. Her sister was named Agnes.

Two brothers, given the all-American names of Frank and Joe. :-)

[SOteric]

10. Somehow I pictured Pookie as a little dude with a beard.

I think that would make him a real fungi.

[Zomby Woof]

12. His beard was shaved off!

Yesterday in fact... :think:

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

13. Is that a burqa?!

We must liberate Pookie!

[JohnKleeb]

14. No its one of those Eastern European thingies

:D I bet my grandma wore one.

[Philostopher]

18. It's a babooshka!

Okay, I misspelled it. Babushka.

[Zomby Woof]

19. ba-BUSH-ka???

Damn! NSMA will link that to his alleged Freeperdom! :o

[JohnKleeb]

20. Thats the name I didnt know that

In old country I bet a lot of the women wore em.

[Zomby Woof]

21. when I lived in Spain

There were lots of widows, and they wore black from head to toe, scarves to shoes. Many of them were Civil War widows too, at the time the conflict was 40 years past.

[JohnKleeb]

22. You told me you lived in Spain

Beautiful country, really is. I know about the civil war that happened there. I have to admit :), I envy LPFF for getting to go there this spring but I am happy for her, who gets to see Spain at our age.

[Zomby Woof]

23. I was even younger than you two

8-11 years old. :-) So it is very vivid.

I am still jealous of her going. :P

[JohnKleeb]

24. Yeah

Lucky :) her. First she gets invited to that thing in DC, the equiv for me would be NYC and shes going to Spain but thats because she's smart, sigh smarter than I'll ever be.

[Zomby Woof]

17. let him breathe the air of freedom!

Until NSMA hands out the clothespins! :o
