I'm in a very snap happy mood today ;)
This is an Australian Meat Pie, they come in many 'flavours', common ones are: chicken, beef (also known as the plain pie), lamb, vegetable, steak and bacon, cauliflower and cheese, mushroom and beef, beef and cheese and last but not least seafood. More exotic flavours include: venison, crocodile, kangaroo, emu, rabbit and lasagne (or spaghetti). The pies we are eating this evening are Italian Beef and Cheese my most favorite pie ever. An Aussie pie WILL NOT have such odd fillings like fruit and pumpkin ;) A pie is a meal usually washed down with a 'tinny' (beer) or in this case a 'coke' (Coca Cola).
A dog eye with dead 'orse (horse) is a pie with sauce in the Australian lingo (language). A fair dinkum dog eye (real pie) is most often served in a brown paper bag which makes the crust go soggy if you leave it too long and blows away at the first gust of wind whilst one is attempting to eat the said pie without dripping it down one's front :P (Pies are generally not eaten with a knife and fork unless you are at home or at a restaurant.)

You mean you guys don't have BBQ's like those? Those are our standard park BBQ's found in any council park in Victoria and most of Australia. Best of all they are cleaned daily, are stainless steel and they are free :)

You have about a week and a half . . . so get to it!!! :P

As for dew, and green is in, I love my own concoction of mixing Diet Dew and Diet Pepsi or Coke, I love the lightness of the lemon lime flavors with the hardier Coke or pepsi and of course I have been doing diet so long that when I taste a Regular Coke or Pepsi, I almost have a heart overload, too much sugar all at once for my system after so many years of artificial everything... :D
You are a hardworking lad aren't you. looks like you got to take Sophie with you to work, does anyone ever ask about her, or do you have her hidden behind the frosty or Drink machines?
Love those Ghetto Booties, :D RedwoodsMama and MS. Nova and friend

@RWM-The only Cola I drink is diet coke. Not full flavor, nor pepsi, nor diet pepsi. Only diet coke, as far as colas. For my absolute preference would be Mountain Dew. I drink it religiously. Sprite all night long off of the soda machine. Sprite and Mountain Dew. However much I abuse my soda fix, I also genuinely love Ice Water, no lemon. Or even super sweet Iced Tea, no lemon.
Oh yes, I work 5-6 nights a week. Easily overtime any week. I thrive on work. I love it, it keeps me going. Besides, when working in my industry it is often a nice added bonus to see results ($) almost instanteously. Unfotunately on this night we were slammed and I forgot Sophie entirely in the car over night. So even when she looked the best, my coworkers never met her. Oh and we make our shakes by hand! 5 scoops of ice cream, 2 squirts of syrup (choc, van, mint, etc), and a few ounces of milk. Whip it up and if you are like me, add Oreo's or Reese's, or even Butterfinger....Mmmmm!!! Hand dipped milkshakes.

;) Great idea with those booties, just goes to prove even " males' can make something creative for their loved one,( Sophie) and I am a huge believer in Recycle Reinvent and Reuse when ever possible. I can see a whole line of Pleos worldwide being lined up on old t-shirts, etc and their owners following your instructions to make some " ghetto booties", Can't wait to see the photos of these Ghetto Booties, You should make a short instructional video of you creating one for Sophie, people would love it. RedwoodsMama and Ms. Nova and friend.
P.S. I have allways been a Diet Coke drinker myself as well, and Ice Water is the only way I like my water, no tap water unless it is ice cold. The exception would be after a long run on a very hot day, any water is great, though I prefer ice water.

There is such creativity among the members here - it's great to see all the cool stuff everyone comes up with.

Wish we could have all been with you to celebrate your birthday, IMR! You are so special to us. Happy birthday! :birthday: :birthday: :birthday:
Post by: gucci_boi7782 on July 23, 2010, 01:29:53 PM
Simply get a square washcloth. Preferably a new one. Large enough to lay evenly from the two front 'shoulders' all across the 'spine' to finally your wash cloth lays evenly to the 'hips'. Starting off again at the front of Pleo, safety pin or even use a decorative pin to hold the two flaps secure. Make sure everything is tight when you go and pin the rear of your pleo. That should pretty much be it.
Also for those interested, I have the Sock clothing line:
Simply grab one of last winters mix-matched tube socks. Cut just above or below the hem line for where the toe goes. Make sure you have a thick sock too! But not too thick as this will cause overheating. Lay pleo on side and position the toeless sock atop pleo. Making sure the toeless section is now lying around pleo's neckline. With a permanent marker, draw appropriately where the legs will be cut out of pleo. It has been my experience to say you will want to cut from just above the ball of the foot upward on your sock. Using where the ball of your foot goes into the sock is where Pleo's tail and butt will come from. Again, that should pretty much do it. Let me know if you need further help.
EDIT: I use two leg larger leg holes versus four smaller. Also, you will need to have the battery in prior to getting on this tight fighting suit.

Gucci I love your homemade outfits :) I don't think my socks are big enough though ;)
Post by: shadowmice on July 23, 2010, 07:56:08 PM
That's a great song IMR! Sounds a little like BBQ season around here. :o
Post by: RedwoodsMama on July 23, 2010, 09:43:26 PM
Never saw the washcloth line, and it is so simple and very cute..Basic and I think Children would love doing that for their Pleos and parents don't have to complain about Pleo Clothes being too expensive when you can use what is on hand at home, You can also find great socks and towels, etc at the Dollar Stores, many towns now have them, I love them not as much as the Thrift or Second hand stores, but they are still a great bargain for many items. ;) MS. NOva and I will have to try one of those Sock outfits again, just to see If I can follow your instructions and I will use Men's socks to be sure they fit, Thanks for the tip about the battery in first, that is an important step!

RWM- I totally can see some funky designs formulating in my mind if I hit up the local Wal*Mart's ladies sock clearance. I would find some funky colors, and designs. Probably for a real steal too! And yes be absolutely sure your pleo is stiff and straight "storage/box" mode, you have the fully charged battery installed, and you are most certain pleo will wear this outfit for a while. It does make to be a very tight fit, so perhaps you might want to even go larger than my feet when sock hunting. :P
IMR- I do just love the bbq song, even when they were talking about 'Aussie Meat' on the grill, and steaks, I knew they were talking about tofu/tempeh steaks. :D The song was very upbeat and I did enjoy hearing it. You must think we all have very strange accents. :P I thought it almost sounded like country music or folk or some variant thereof. At any rate I enjoyed it, even if I still cannot picture gorgeously maintained park bbqs and this 'bopping' music (just kinda makes you wanna bop around, you know?). I love hearing how things can be so similar yet so different at the same time! Thanks!!
But I have found a Pleo In The Wild and I have included a little hint to go with it. Crack the code, and find Pleo!
If you can believe, this was my fathers office for a quite some time. I know it is quite the mess and will be quite the jumble, but can you find the Pleo In The Wild?
"Wake up, and look closely. And HEADS UP for a head down!
only half of
THIS PLEO....................is showing."
^the above is the hint as to how and perhaps what you will find when you find the other half of pleo

@IMR: Can you perhaps make a skit out of the Aussie barbecue song? That would be awesome! ;D
Post by: InmemoryofRomeo on July 25, 2010, 07:11:34 PM
Hmm I could do a dance to the BBQ song, but Pleo wouldn't be able to sing it, the song is far too fast for Pleo to keep up :P *ponders*
