OK, here is Lisa's post:
Holocene. Create a definition for it. The idea is not to know the definition, but to come up with the most convincing sounding definition, or best definition. Lisa will judge the winner.
Also, who's more manly: Yul Brynner or Charlton Heston.
Easy for me. Yul Brynner.
OK get to work.

Yul Brenner for me! Altho, wasn't he a wife beater?
Maybe she wouldn't let him do the housework (fighting off cancer), But, you can't mess with Mr. Clean! He is Mr. Clean, right?

Brynner es mas macho.
An otherwise healthy 11 year old girl in Lincoln, Ne. died from the flu yesterday! Lab tests show it was Influnza A, but with her the virus attacked her muscles, her veins shrivled, and she died...it's really weird and scary!
Sad and scary. Heard that the virus here was Influenza-A too. Definitely getting flu shots next year...never had 'em.
4 have died up here. 4 kids, and one adult.
Oh...my source, about Influenza-A, was a bank teller.
Holocene: the vision of George W's soul.
That is, the vision one sees when looking at George W.'s soul.
Our pediatrician did not make appts. for flu vaccine, but they held two walk-in days on Saturdays in Nov and we went and it was a mad house. The line stretched out the door of the office and down the hall. The line moved pretty fast though. We got there a half hour after the doors opened and Jude got one of the last ones they had. Crazy.
Our vacation home in NC is SOLD. Closing date is Feb. 23rd. We thought alls going well. Yesterday, Jim received a call from Sivra(relocation company). Closing may be delayed because they haven't gotten the clsoing inspection(addendum) from our realitor. They have been asking her for two weeks. She's a slacker. Numerous times she hang-up on us. Was told, too busy right now, she's with her grandkids, etc. After three weeks on the market, she wanted to reduce the price. This is without holding an open house. Her words,"Open house are for nosy neighbors to see how we live). Of course we disagree. We reduced the price and she agreed to an open house. A week later, we had offer(s). Ha!
Sivra has had the same experience with her.
The realitor apolizied to us, blaming Sirva's fax machine. Right!
I want to fire this lady. Lets all hope the 23rd is a wonderful day.
Holocene- take a bath.

You guys keep running into lousy realtors. I hope you never have run into the one-eyed realtor who drives the wrong way down a one-way street and who fails to notify clients of changes in closing dates, etc.
As of yet, I have no prize for hte winning meaning of Holocene, but will think of something over the weekend. Ed-is your meaning a first and second usage meaning, or is the latter part of what you wrote a further explaination?
Bad Realtor!!!
She must have a friend in the Relo Dept! I worked with SIRVA once, it went well.
By law you have to produce the Home Inspection addendum within 24 hours, unless stated otherwise!
60% of our business comes from Open Houses!
I just read that Henry Ford had planned to use ethanol in his Model T...at the last minute switched to gasoline! Think how different things would be now if he had!
Not all are lousy realtors. But when they try to low-ball in order to make a sale, forget it.

Was it a glass eye?
Holocene - the scene you see when the doors to the holodeck whoosh open.

Went to King Kong last night for our romantic Valentine's Day dinner. What atmosphere. FOUR distinct languages being spoken, a corner table by the windows with views of Dodge Road and the Medical Center, a life-size gorilla greeting you at the door and the best gyros anywhere. We had dessert first because we stopped by Richardsons to drop off valentines and they were just starting to have chocolate fondue. Mia gets a very intense, concentrated look on her face whenever she eats chocolate. After she chewed up her first chocolate-dipped banana slice she said,"I love you, Mom."
Henry ford invented charcoal
Frank, have you ever had Blue Moon flavored ice cream? I just read a story about how it's only available in parts of Wisconsin and Michigan but people who grew up there get so hungry for it that they pay $52 to have a sampler package of 4 pints of it from different makers sent to them. Eat some and report back. Oh, or Monica, did you ever have it?
i have never had it, but i know people who rave about it.
and sean connery slaps his wife around.
Oh, all right, Yul Brenner.
By the way, congrats Jim & Erin!
We had a realtor who did everthing we asked. Open houses every other weekend and always returned calls promptly but I just found out she was having an affair the whole time we were working with her. She has kids the same ages as ours and go to school with ours. She also has very big fake breast.
What about her other breast?
I have had blue moon ice cream. It is really really blue and everybody who tastes it says it tastes like something else. I thought it tasted like I thought it tasted of almonds.
The orginal Model T actually DID run on either ethanol or gasoline. Gasoline proved cheaper and so later versions of the car only ran on gas.
The later part of the definition above further defines the word and is not a seperate usage. In layman's terms it is an Obscene Hologram.
HALOCENE...What the MUNSTER family's pet name for Halloween.

I tried to get on the blog from work today and something you perv's wrote tripped JD's filters and wouldn't let me in. My file with HR just got a little thicker.
Bobby Kennedy is much more manly than Yul or Charlton
Thanks for correcting my spelling

"Holocene" The name of Daniennlynn Smith's teen talk show on MTV, when she turns 10!
Jim...I was checking blog entries from the past few days to see what word could have tripped the filters...the most perverted I found was "Rush Limbaugh" oooohhh, so yucky!
Or, maybe it was Realtor..
I had some Ugli fruit this morning. Yummy! If you have never had one they are kind of like grapefruit but juicier and sweeter. Try one - they are in season now.
Mary, what thrifty meal are you making tonight?
WARNING!
Salmonella outbreak in Peter Pan Peanut Butter.
Not peanut butter chicken!!
We were thrifty last night...it was our all company celebration/awards banquet...plated dinner, but cash bar....we avoided all the long lines at the bar with our secret flask full of nice scotch (with ice and water on the table)...saved $$$, plus impressed fellow Realtors, we also received an award (not for economic alchohol consumption).

Congratulations! What was the award for? :-)
Great Value (Wal-Mart) Peanut Butter is also infected.
It was for our increase in sales from the year before.
Leland Metzger (Algona broker with Farm and Home) has just listed a farm in Decatur Co. owned by the Manske family...805 acres, looks like a couple miles north of the Cash farm. You hunters should look at the photos....that's where all the animals have escaped to...maybe they can hear you coming!
That's awesome! Kudos to you!!! :-)

Naaah. I stand by my original definition. That's what it is.
Bill Nye the Science Guy. Sexier than Yul, Charlton and Sean combined, and younger.
Congratulations LaVelles, the hottest realtor couple in Omaha!
Thanks...we are medium hot...some are real hot...it's in todays paper, a photo montage...but it's an ad, probably not on the internet.
Yul Brenner is more manly and Charlton Heston is more apely, although he has a pansy name. Did you know his real name is Guigliermo Sabaducci?
Tom...I think this is it 515-554-0761...lisa's 515-556-9632
I wanted to clarify...our dinner wasn't at a privately owned restaurant...we wouldn't sneak a flask into such a place...it was at the Mid America Center, (Mid America Energy) our parent company to whom I've paid way too much of my commission this past year!
Average temp in Cedar Rapids this month- 4.5. I wish I were Mom and Dad right now. I can't wait to see my heating bill. Mid American gets a lot of our money too.
It costs close to $1500 to heat Sarah's. My home heating bill never upsets me.
Oh and Sarah's electric bill, this month, was $1100. :-<> I guess, "I win," eh?
Work is different from home. Our home heating bill is around $200 in the winter. And that includes setting it at 62 during the evenings.
P
Home gas $150
Home electric $125
We keep our thermostat at 68.
Utility costs (prior to business ownership) used to bring me down...not anymore!
I never think of heat/utility bill as a downer. Its llike feeding your family, a must.
Doesn't Warren Buffet own Mid American? I bet you feel good writing those checks to the second richest guy in the world.
Yes...Warren owns Mid America...why does he want so much of my commission?
I think they quit paying for the drinks at our events when he bought the co...he's into Insurance as well.

What's everyone doing this weekend?
Creighton's on TV tomorrow night @9pm.
OK, finally something exciting!!!
Cathy just called and she said that Mom and Dad were at the "Notre Dame Florida Fling"...and Lou Holtz was the main speaker, and during the cocktail hour Dad was asked to give the convocation!!! So, in the mean time they are buying Lou Holtz's book and Dad tells him that Mom and He are grads, etc...and Lou signs the book to Mom and signs that she is his hero for having 14 children! Then after that is Lou's speech and then Dad! I'm sure is must have been a great night for them!
There is also something about the Manager for the Cardinals, he was there...have to wait till Monday!
Yul Brynner is a manlier man because her donesn't try so hard to be so manly. It's something he has rather than works at.
Remember, "Manly," from Little House in the Prairie?
I think I'm married to the most manly man. Despite his Diva tendencies and penchant for toy sized dogs. He'd probably vote for Charlton Heston.

Britney Shears shaved her head! What next?! (ha, ha)

Warren does own Mid America Energy. Google the victory wind project. It's pretty impressive and probably the largest of it's kind in the States. Not a bad investment, looks like ol'Warren really does know what he's doing.
http://www.midamericanenergy.com/html/aboutus3c.asp
...and anybody who stars in anything by Rodgers or Hammerstein or both automatically loses to Charlton Heston by default. I'm sorry. It's the rules. And I'm sticking to them.
"From my cold, dead hands!"
The character from Little House on the Prairie was named Manley...and Great Grandma Nelson's maiden name was Manley.
We went to the 9pm Creighton game last night...what a heart breaker!
Afterwards we went to our small neighborhood bar (Dougers) to have a nightcap...and in walked Kyle Korver. The owner (Doug) said Korver still stops in when he's in town, he says it reminds him of a small town Iowa bar!
According to the paper Korver turned down the 3 point tournament in Vegas this weekend to do a fundraiser in Omaha.
Happy Birthday Mia and Jude!!!
We went to Mia's birthday party yesterday at Molly's house. It was very nice. Molly said Mia had been talking about her party for days....and she waited patiently during the lunch and cake and then opened each present very diligently and thanked people, she's so cute...she was very tired and when someone said something about cranky, she burst into tears and said, "I am not a cranky birthday girl"!
Molly said a few days ago Mia snapped at Molly and Molly told her it was naughty and Mia replied, "I can't help it. It's MY language!"...and then added, "I'm NOT your little angel!"...she has quite the vocabulary.
Lisa I want to know who won, and also about the manlier man question.

Dad gave the invocation and the baseball person was Tony LaRussa and he wrote a nice little note for a lady in Whittemore who's a total Cardinals fan. What Dad didn't tell Tony is that she always gripes about his managing decisions, but when she gets the autograph maybe she'll decide he's not so bad after all.
Did Jude have a happy birthday? How did it go - leaving him for the first time?
40s all week except for Thursday, which will be in the 50s. Yippee!
Just saw the tailend of "Paint Your Wagon" over the weekend. Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin in a musical - doesn't that negate Desi's argument about musicals? Besides, Charlton Heston was in that uproarious musical comedy "The Ten Commandments" not to mention "Ben-Hur". I love when he tap dances and pirouettes and then throws down the tablets, singing "Jews! Can't live with'em, can't live without 'em!" So manly.
Actually Mia said (or screamed) "I'm your angel!" as her head rotated 360 degrees. Last night she pointed at Catherine and told her to say, "What...ever!" in a very Valley-girl voice. She's very entertaining.
