it's not my email address. so there.

Archived comment by slugbuggy:
Yeah, what steff? Who has her? Are you speaking as a marsupial or as a member of the non-sequitor collective, having skied all day Wednesday? And finally, why steff, do you mention your shoe size in your e-mail address?

Huh? What? Did I say something?

*MUHAHA-haha!* we've got you now! hehe heh heh.

...this opportunity for evil laughter brought to you (unwittingly) by arlene. thanks, arlene.

Archived comment by Arlene:
Does anyone know if marsupials laugh? If so, then there it is. if not, um, well, uh, keep trying. Yeah (shhh, they can hear you, you know).

Wow, even after previewing this & seeing how very non sequitor I'm hitting the add comment b

yeah, but i don't know if i can make that whistling sound. madagascarian animals?

"Laughing Like A Marine Animal"? You know, the evil porpoises ?

Archived comment by steff:
i'm just imagining some kind of squelching sound for a moist animal laughing. gurgling even. if it's your favorite, go for it, but can we have 'manaical' as an alternate? i will, however, use llamallamadingdong. thanks!

Archived comment by Phil:
"Laughing Like a Moist Animal"? This would give one the opportunity to say (or at least think) the word "moist" - one of my favorites.

As I don't get the opportunity to drive past a Llama farm very often, I can't say from experience, but I think I would amend it to "llamallamadingdong".

Archived comment by steff:
*sigh* yeah, you're right phil. let's go with *llama*. i dunno what the m is for, i just like it better. does anyone else lean out the window and say "llamallamallama" when they drive past a llama farm? no? oooo-kay then.

hey, if i don't keep upping the standards, how are you gonna grow as a person? huh? answer me THAT! *hmph*

and the main reason you're having so much trouble is that i've learned, at long last, not to drink while i'm reading this site. i have, many times, sat alone in my little room laughing hysterically at stuff you've said, but *lol* seems so... silly. i'm gonna have to resort to jos's *laughing like a small animal*. =D

Prunes are the flavoring ingredient in Dr. Pepper, yes? That's what I've heard. Anyway, I can think of two occasions where steff said she did a nasal spit-take, I've been going for the hat-trick ever since. She's so hard to please anymore, that one is. Lord knows I try.

What did this thread used to be about again? Eh.

Archived comment by steff:
triticale, i think i speak for everyone when i say... i'm just not quite sure how to take that.

Archived comment by triticale:
The desire to make the Dr. Pepper spew is the reason I prune my posts.

Archived comment by slugbuggy:
I have a feeling that many of the posts here that make liberal use in IP in-references make absolutely no sense to someone who isn't up on IP speak, so it looks like utterly random babble. So maybe they're just trying to play along but don't know how yet, maybe it's their OWN SECRET CODE for something. Then again, sometimes your party just plain sucks. Work at it, do the research. Eventually you'll get the Dr. Pepper to spew, copiously.

Archived comment by Arlene:
Not to be rude or anything, but One Yak, why is your name highlighted like a namelink when there is nothing there? And why are you misquoting Robert Frost? I mean, maybe you have a reason, like this whole quote started some train of thought for you about this old date who stole your favorite copy of Robert Frost's poems or something. I just want to know.

That's exactly why you have to check your mate during the endgame.

Archived comment by Montygirl:
fair_n_hite_451, I agree with you - take away from the relationship that which you brought to it.

That is, unless it was, "Hey, I know we had sex last night, but you've been replaced - she's moving in on Tuesday, so take your stuff and get out." Then she deserves the chess set.

Anyone ever hear "Cry" by Angie Aparo? Best "I hope you suffer some horrible heartbreak, you complete wenchbag, you!" song ever written.

Archived comment by Angel:
Yup, just a few weeks ago, I apparently accidentally sent him a chat request on AIM (he's still on my buddy list, and I must have inadvertently hit the wrong name trying to message a friend). He just about bit my head off, and I didn't find out until later (through my sister) about my mistake.

So I figured it's just safer to keep his stuff 'til he asks for it (or decides to speak civily to me).

What kind of a girl doesn't realize that one of her hard back books is missing?
Geez, he's better off without her.

Archived comment by Arlene:
yeah, Angel, you have to be careful about returning stuff. This guy I know, we'll call him "John", had a hardback book he'd borrowed from his girlfriend. After the girl dumped him he kept calling her every 3-4 days for a couple weeks trying to return it. She accused him of stalking her. He decided to keep the book.

Archived comment by Jon:
Okie. Sorry things turned out badly.

Archived comment by Angel:
Jon - Simply put, he's still bitter, and knowing him as I do, he'd take it as an insult. You gotta know the guy to understand. But he still talks to my sister, so I'm sure he could ask her to get the stuff for him if he wanted to.

Archived comment by Red Master Ninja:
Chess is a serious game for serious people, be aware that people who play chess are seriously serious. I wonder if I could hire someone to peel grapes for me to eat. I aslo think there for I am not. Chess is good to play when you are sleeping and not to be woken because you could die from the startlement of being woken out of a chess nightmare, where as life is not like a box of chocolates its more like a buffet. Some buffets are good and have lots of good stuff, and other buffets just suck.
TO conclude two birds in a stone make a bushel of grash clipings......err I think thats how it goes

Ack. Substitute "you" for "your".

Archived comment by Jon:
Um, Angel, if he's become so socially toxic to your, why not just mail his stuff back to him...? No face-to-face contact required.

Speaking of snail mail, I just heard about a "service" for people tired of postal mail. This service has your mail sent to a separate postal box, where it is opened, scanned, and emailed to you.
Which has me wondering: 1) Do people really want complete strangers reading their email? (They assure "privacy" for a completely public act) 2) Wtf would they do with a package filled with actual stuff, such as seeds from Burpee... send you virtual seeds?

Archived comment by TJ:
It's not about materialism, it's about vindictiveness.

I have attended many domestics (I'm a cop) in which the worst bickering was over possessions.

Not only do they steal each other's things, but one ex-boyfriend even broke into his ex-girlfriend's apartment to cut up the clothes he had bought her earlier!

And this girl stole something she couldn't even make use of. Remember Aesop's fable -- the dog in the manger?

Fooey on these web page translators. "En Passant" retains the intended meaning of "while passing," while "dans passer" comes across differently, more like "in (or within) to pass." I think.

"En Passant?" I completely missed that one, considering where we are now. Tr�s habile, hypoxic.

"Loaded up the TV in the back of my car. Have fun watching the VCR!" I also love the part about empty hangers in the closet. If I had to work so hard to make that guy look like he had fashion sense, my investment's going with me.

Archived comment by Angel:
Wow, I have a lot to comment on! Bear with me. ;)

Love the SheDaisy song, I must admit. :)

Spin - Can't play chess personally (one of my best friends tried to teach me, but I didn't seem to have the attention span for it), but I did invent another strip "game"...Strip Studying. It was the ONLY way to get my boyfriend to study. (and his parents wanted me to "make" him study!)

Since *I* didn't have anything to study, it worked like this: He got a question right, I took something off. He got one wrong, I put something back on. (Of course the questions got progressively harder when I felt he was doing a little too well...hehe)

As for the break-up stealing...well my personal philosophy is like this: I would never take something from his house. Ever. But I HAVE acquired quite a collection of sweatshirts. ;) I used to borrow one from my high school boyfriend (who dumped me whenever he wanted to date a freshman for a week), and finally I told him (after about 12 of these break-ups) "The next time you break up with me, if I still have this sweatshirt, it's mine." You can guess what happened. lol. He saw me wearing it a year later and just started laughing.

The second guy who dumped me more than once had lent me 2 sweatshirts, one of which was expensive (and coincidentally, which I happen to be wearing at this moment). I actually OFFERED to give these back, but he felt bad and said I could keep them.

As for the ex that *I* broke it off with, I have quite a few things that I'd LIKE to return (only because he probably wants some of them...at the very least, his favorite book that I borrowed), but he refuses to speak to me, and at the time of the break-up, I was afraid to give stuff back because he wasn't handling it well and I thought that would seem more harsh. It was a long-distance thing, so I didn't want it to seem like "This is me getting rid of anything that might remind me of you"...a male friend (hmm, actually that was the 2nd ex) had that done to him by HIS ex, and he thought it was really mean.

My (male) best friend actually had a girl try to keep his VAN (which was technically his PARENTS' van) after they broke up. And SHE dumped HIM.

And on the subject of "girlie-girls", I might be considered one in terms of how I dress and in terms of sentimental-type stuff, but I'm constantly saying "I hate girls". (No offense to anyone here!) I have some girl friends, but for the most part, I think guys are a lot more laid back and easier to get along with. Less of the petty backstabbing crap I dealt with in high school.

Wow, I'm in a rambling mood today. :) Or I'm just procrastinating my psychology paper. Your call.

I personally play chess, watch hockey and football (CFL) well enough to carry on a conversation but you know what, I will never ever cook for you, I rarely do sweet things - in fact I am often told that I am the guy in relationships (this by the guys) so moral of the story...uh no moral...just don't piss girlie girls off - they are bitter people

Kitty-- they still make it. I got hooked on Stratego years ago...too bad my family won't play with me.

fair_n_hite 451-- that's what I was thinking. What the hell is wrong with this girl? OK, he broke up with her, and we don't know the circumstances...but that's really immature. A sweater or something is one thing, but you don't walk off with a marble chess set and a down comforter. That's ridiculous. I guess he could get it all back, though, if he really wants it...

Archived comment by fair_n_hite_451:
Personally, I think the girl was a huge jerk. There's no excuse for that sort of behaviour. Where is the common level of decency a civilized society is supposed to aspire to these days?

Pathetic.
