Cave Boy and the Goblet of Squid

Middle Son remains at home, as the person he is replacing in the shared household he and his lady-love will be joining, has yet to depart. The kid who was supposed to move out must have taken my death threats seriously…….

:)

Although he still lives here, he is no longer a McPloyee. He and lady-love both bid adieu to the golden arches for greener pastures. Then they went under them.

They are both now working in a cave. Honest.

Subtropolis.

It sounds like somewhere a superhero arch-enemy would hang out, doesn’t it? LOL
But it is a real place, the world’s largest underground business complex, a subterranean industrial park with nearly five million square feet of leasable space.

Speaking of bidding adieu, I am in the process of getting rid of many of my Squidoo lenses. It’s nothing personal (despite my rant at Calacanis)

I just don’t have the time, or sufficient drug supplies (to DEA computer scanner - just kidding) to keep them up. So I’ve let others adopt them. Summertime is always busy here at the farm, and there’s bingo to go cheat at - LOL

My cup (or goblet, since I’m not above shamelessly leveraging the popularity of Harry Potter - lol) runneth over. Fare thee well, my little lenses!

Happy Friday the 13th to everyone!

    Does this mean you are no longer a squidizen? (did I spell that right?)

    And an underground office complex? That sounds a little… uh… claustrophobic to me.

  2. Marti Says:

    Yeah, I got dumped as a Squidizen.

    The caves are massive and very well-lit (so says Cave Boy - LOL) but I agree, I think it’d creep me out being in there for a long time - LOL

    wow cool

  4. Miss Cellania Says:

    Cool! I’d love working underground. I love caves. I go down in the basement to cool off every day as I’m working in the garden.

  5. Liar Liar Says:

    Yeah, definitely part of the claustrophobic crowd, here.

    Hope you had an awesome day, with no signs of triskaidekaphobia! (Had to look that up to make sure I spelled that right. Mozilla wants to turn it into agoraphobia and claustrophobia and forms thereof.)

    I could not work underground.
    need sunshine.

    Hi Marti!

    Dropping by to say hello. Hope all’s well in your corner of the world. :-)

    Hey, Marti!

    Our kids are sure growing up, aren’t they? I’m sorry to hear about your experience with Squidoo. I know how hard you worked for them.

    That phrase, My cup runneth over, has me wondering. What is the cup overrunneth with? First thing I thought of was chicken grease bags. That’s probably not it, though.

    Thanks! The same to you… I THINK! ~ jb///

    You’ll have to rename the boy “Og” and feed him raw dinosaur meat now. You know that, don’t you?
