Very vulnerable right now.

feel better if we all melded?

Fish!

No Jon - ya gotta use a Bridge term.
Sheeshh - try to keep up, will ya? *g*

Since you've switched to legal terminology: "Go fish sustained." :)

Suits me.

Double Arlene's comment.

I concur...in spades.

As do I, with diamonds.

Our hearts are in the right place.

Join the club??

We've crossed this bridge before, no?

This conversation is getting kind of flat, eh? *g*

See, Igirly, I kinda need you to stick with the whole "flat list expanded" (I think that's the one) so everyone can better figure out who the hell (or what the hell) you're replying to.

I'm pretty sure it's the Oded guy.

yes, it is. but a.v. is tasty, too.

I'm not sure why, but every time a read a Steff post, I think "I would so get along with that girl." And then I think "her sister and my sister and her and I would all be a riot together. The riot grrls. Only not." Hee.
But then I can never remember who's related to whom, between steff and Cebu and Igirly, so it becomes the three of them, and then I picture 5 girls clad in various mostly-black outfits, often involving knee high boots, out for a night on the town.

But I digress.

we were just discussing who would be the best group of people to gather 'round us in order to get kicked out of (insert venue of choice) with enough novelty to get our names in the paper. you, of course, made the cut.

what? it was late! it made more sense than the 'sleeping positions' discussion!

um, at the time...

See, Kris, it's simple.

Igrrly is steff's little sister. Cebu is related to...well...Cebu. But she knows Intelligirly. Intelligirly shares a brain with Apple, and is emarried to Jon. I am, apparently, steff's twin brother...but only in some karmic sense, it would seem, what with us not looking at all alike (for instance, I'm not short) and not even really being the same species.

Somewhere in all this, Santa Claus and Godzilla are invovled, but that's all a bit more complicated.

Well, not really, I just wanted to say it.

To be more specific, Igirly and I are best friends, since 92.

"Embrace my granulations!"

It does horrible things to a man....and apparently lamp dweller's too.

Well Kris - I think steff and Igirly are sisters and Cebu used to be Igirly's roomate. steff's much older and is married to NIPM (Not In Passing Matt) while Igirly lives in Iowa. Cebu's in Savannah checking out the guys that are returning from Iraq (they came from there).

I think...

But how come YOUR sis doesn't post here?

I dunno, actually. I told her about this site, then I showed it to her when we were both home. She has her own online places, so maybe that's enough to keep her occupied.
She's basically like me, but even more sarcastic. I don't know if I come across as sarcastic here, since generally I'm being silly here, but...I lost where I was going. Anyway, yeah. I'll let you know if she ever does crop up here, she's a cool kitty.

You don't come across as sarcastic. Ever. Let me repeat that: Ever.

It generally takes an awful lot of effort to arrange text to get some really good tone-of-voice stuff going.

"Cool cat, looking for a kitty. Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city...."

Dammit, Kris, see what you've made go through my head?

LMAO!!!
(seriously, I busted out laughing. Times like these make me glad I live alone.)

Oh? Is your laugh dangerous, KtG?

Infectious, perhaps?

"Stop...that...LAUGHING! You know what happens when you can't stop laughing!"

Anyway.

My siamese seems to think that I should stop catching up on my InPassing and instead pay attention to him. He is stating this view by energetically jumping up and down on the keyboard with as many feet as possible. I was out of town for a couple of weeks, and he's decided that the only acceptable atonement is to actually go back in time and not be out of town for two weeks. Until then, the Geneva Convention has been suspended...he insists Siam never signed it, anyway, and thus my barbequed chicken was so fair game.

Oh, and I tried to take Gorjira-Cat for a walk, today. It was more of a drag. A short drag, as I'm still sort of gimping around from the whole "Hey, you may not have noticed, but I think your shin is cracked" fiasco, and the whole purpose of the walk is to reduce the bulk of said cat down to less than Volkswagon proportions. Have you ever tired to drag a Volkswagon? One that is being totally uncooperative and pretending not to have any bones, all the while giving that long-suffering to-think-that-my-kind-were-once-regarded-as-Gods-on-Earth-and-now-I-have-to-put-up-with-this look?

It ain't easy.

Thus ends the cat report.

Oh, and I've been to see three movies in three days. I highly recommend them all, but only on an individual basis, as your mileage may vary (particularly if you have bad taste in movies).

If you haven't figured it out, no...I can't bloody sleep.

PS - Where are my paragraphs! A pox! A pox, I say!

PPS - Forced paragraphs, manually. Take that, HTML! *shakes fist*

No, not dangerous, generally. Just loud and probably annoying.
I am highly amused by your kitty description...very accurate. I've never tried to walk a cat, myself, but I'm tickled at the thought of any one of them pretending to have no bones. I've seen this move before.
When you said "Siamese," I automatically went to "twin." Puts a new spin on it, I guess.
So what movies did you see?

The only laughter I find annoying is the affected kind, really.

(Unless, of course, you're one of those people who's voice can cut glass...*Grin*...)

Anyway.

I went to see The Rundown, Underworld, and Kill Bill Vol.I...not a terribly philosophical troika, but entertaining (which is, of course, my main criterion).

I didn't go to see anything, today. I did watch Road to Predition on cable, though. I mean, just cause I don't go to the movies doesn't mean I'm not watching movies.

Anyway. You realize, of course, that you can't really say "I have good taste"? I mean, you can say it, but it's sort of meaningless when you say it about yourself. Of course you think you have good taste - it's based on your own opinion of what you find appealing. You may as well be saying "You know, I really like all of the things I like."

Basically, "good taste" is an appellation that can only be bestowed by others. That's the beauty of it, really...because it is totally subjective and meaningless. I mean, if I like Monet, and someone else doesn't...well...I still like Monet.

And I find my tastes...impeccable. *Grin*

gee... it's nice to know i can go out of town and count on my karmic twin (creeeeeeeepy...) to say what i'd have said anyway. since, you know, he was awake and all.

and, i'm glad i'm not the only one who's noticed that those are the only movies out there potentially worth watching until that heath ledger movie comes out. *leer*

in my opinion, of course.

You mean "The Order"? known as "The Sin Eater" in other countries--it was out for a WEEK then it disappeared like $100 bill in the gutter. Yet it got okay reviews.

I just wanted to see the movie before I buy it. Was I hoping for too much?

Who's Heath Ledger?

You know what? Never mind. I'm asking the same girl who--off the top of her head--knew the name of that Moorish-looking dude in The Mummy.

She's not the only one who knew his name. :-)

Well, right, Joe. You're not the only one who can be subtly ironic.

I'm not?

Damn.

Release the hounds!

-Jn-
Efreeti Sophist

Yeah, what movies, Joe? I have rather good (if snobbish, or so Igirly tells me) taste in movies.

Oh wait, lemme guess. One of them was "Kill Bill, Volume 1." Maybe "Bubba Ho-Tep" and/or "School of Rock" or the new Coen Brothers' film, "Intolerable Cruelty"?

Heh...every once in a while I'll be reading something here (or at another site), and burst out laughing. I don't live alone. I think my roommate thinks I'm crazy.

My roommate for this year and I have an agreement - she lends me books (that she gets through inter-library loan), I provide free entertainment. Usually in the form of laughing hysterically at something, which sets her off because she thinks the noises I make are hilarious.

Hey, it works... And I get my books! :D

I remember that Fahrfrompuken shirt, I always thought it was both clever and crude. Very appropriate for a college shirt, IMO.

Yes. The printing quality is pretty lousy, but the reason I really don't like them can be found here.

I had a Cafe Press account for about a year and a half when they decided to change their terms of service on me. I had about $6.00 in comissions due, and they won't pay you the comissions unless they're at least $25.00...but with the changed TOS, they would take away your comissions if you didn't make $25.00 in 180 days. As soon as they tried to take away my $6.00, I closed my account. Apparently they lost so much business with that and the other TOS changes (which can be found on the site I linked) that they changed a lot of it back, but I still wouldn't go back to them.
