You can replace the liqueur with milk and blend it. SO YUMMEH!

94. Nummy...

Heading to the liquor store tomorrow for the ingredients!!

Thanks for the recipe!!

[Raine1967]

Sometimes I blend it up, but I'll be honest. I've scooped out the sherbet, drizzled some Stoli V from the freezer, then the godiva and then... WAIT FOR IT

[GReedDiamond]

39. Nice tribute to MFM - Thanks to the Admins!...nt

[caraher]

40. Could we pin a post explaining the name

Or perhaps add a line to the "About This Forum" explaining the name? Post 38 is a good reason to do so - plus it would be that much more of a tribute!

[Ptah]

MFM Lounge

[AnneD]

100. Proving once again....

He is FIMFM....

I hear about his passing soon after it happened and I am still processing it and have taken this long to put something in writing. The last time I felt like this was when Johnny Carson retired and when he passed away.

I have always had a wicked sense of humor. I loved to stay up late and watch Johnny Carson. To those of you too young to remember, Johnny Carson was THE place for up and coming comedians. I had a fantasy that I would preform on Johnny's show one day and be so funny that I would be invited to sit on the chair next to him after the break. If I cracked him up...I had it made.

Well I am not a comedian, although I still crack people up. I started coming to DU and eventually discovered the lounge. I learned the hard way to not be drinking liquids when opening MFM posts. Occasionally a witty retort would occur to me and I would post a reply. I would be thrilled if I elicited a response from MFM. It was as if Johnny Carson had called me back. More times than not MFM bested me, but I didn't mind-a battle of wits is always better if both people are armed.

As a Nurse, I picked up on his health concerns and frankly was concerned at his last visit. He soft pedaled it a bit but I think he was aware of the severity. I have had patients with similar wicked streaks. They are the ones that make you cross over the Nurse Patient lines a bit. They are the ones you you grow to love and whose death, no matter how much expected, still comes as a surprise. Their death stings and you think of them long after they are gone. I gather that he was at a facility where his humor was appreciated-any place that offers tag team baths and no pants Friday has got to be worth admission.

I am also glad there were other DU'ers around him for support and God Bless You. MFM is much loved.

Anne

[nolabear]

123. You and I have much in common, Anne.

I had a crush on Carson from the time I was a little girl taking care of a sick mother in the middle of the night.

Jim tickled that funny/smart spot and it was wonderful.

[Warpy]

101. Neat!

I think he'd get a huge laugh out of it. It's a fitting memorial.

Yeah, we did cross swords a time or two. He was never nasty so he stayed on my open list.

I miss him.

[yuiyoshida]

102. Very cool.

A lovely gesture.

[Boom Sound 416]

104. Very classy admins

[Historic NY]

106. Don't break it now or MFM would be upset where ever he is.

[RoccoR5955]

108. MFM?

My Favorite Martian?

that mentioned doing this, but I honestly never thought it would happen.

Very cool!
