2. No explosive laughter then?

[Pretty Go Pale]

5. Hi, zingaro

Alas, no. But a few outbursts of chuckles were in the offing.

[Blue-Jay]

4. and ever since then . . .

I've attempted being funny.

[Pretty Go Pale]

7. Hi, Blue-Jay

Hope your attempts have met with some success.

[Blue-Jay]

10. Sadly, no.

I'm sure you can empathize.

[Pretty Go Pale]

13. Hi, Blue-Jay

I have the capacity.

[crim son]

I have questioned Victoria's Secret's claim that "it's a miracle"...

[SPKrazy]

12. ROFL!

and ever since then, I've questioned Old Spice's claim that I'd be followed home by women from the docks.


Hi crimmie!

[Pretty Go Pale]

15. Hi, Southpawkicker

Perhaps you should give the English Leather a go.

[crim son]

16. Hi SPK. How are you this evening? n/t

[SPKrazy]

Well I've Crossed The Threshold To A New Dimension

but other than that, things are well

and you?

[crim son]

21. Is your transformation Ambien-related?

Me, I'm annoyed. This evening a male friend of a girlfriend made a play for me and the girlfriend got furious at ME! I did nothing but sit there, alert and cute. I've had it with this woman; in fact I've had it with the hunt altogether!

So this new dimension... are there cheeseburgers there?

[SPKrazy]

27. Cheeseburgers?

There could always be cheeseburgers there

is there ambien involved? I don't think Ambien works on me.

No, the new dimension is something else altogether. An awareness from deep under a rock in my limbic system I guess. Just had an interesting day. I PM'd you about it, so I won't go into details about it.

But there could be cheeseburgers.

[crim son]

32. I have not checked my PMs but since I've had a few

drinks I will not be able to respond sensitively if that's what is required. A rock in your limbic system you say... sounds out of place and uncomfortable. I'm sorry.

[SPKrazy]

37. Rocks in your head are never comfortable

but when they are uncovered, and removed, they are freeing in many ways.

I don't know if sensitivity is what is needed, but that's fine.

I'm sorry you've had a crappy sounding night. Sounds like a misplaced shot of anger on her part, I mean you were just sitting there cute, and he's the one that did it.

:evilgrin:

[crim son]

40. The night was fine - I feel guilty because I finally told her I don't care

for her insinuations. See, normally I ignore them but this was the sixth jab of the evening. Whatever. If I were such a magnificent pickup artist and so irresistable I wouldn't be here typing bullshit to you, would I?

So, did you order the cheeseburger?

[SPKrazy]

44. Well You Might Be Typing Bullshit To Me?

I mean, I'm typing back

did I order a cheeseburger?

Oh, I did.

Did you want one too?

Here:



Friends don't let friends not get cheeseburgers!

[crim son]

47. I knew I could count on you.

I'm starving!

I also need to go to bed. Henry was waiting for me when I got in, and he is in the Master Bedroom (where I never sleep) awaiting my company. SPK, be good. And thanks for the burger!

on edit: I am so indiscreet!

[SPKrazy]

49. I Will,

but who is this Steve?

:rofl:

[crim son]

55. Oh shit. I will edit. n/t

[SPKrazy]

57. No biggie

I wuz just messin' with you

[SPKrazy]

58. You're So

cute

[Pretty Go Pale]

14. Hi, crim son

Ahh, the holy corset.

[crim son]

17. That is the claim but I've come to believe

it is nothing more than an unholy myth.

[Pretty Go Pale]

19. Hi, crim son

Buy into the myth -- Madison Avenuers have babies to feed.

[crim son]

23. Nah.

I was once one of the Madison Avenuers and have since joined the real world. We need not feed the overstuffed.

[Pretty Go Pale]

25. Hi, crim son

(Humming Temple of the Dog)

[crim son]

28. Hi, Pretty Go Pale.

Creature of habit, are you? (Humming Hello Dolly)

[Pretty Go Pale]

30. Hi, crim son

Ritualistic de la habitualistic.

[crim son]

36. Ah, see. If I hadn't quickly downed Randy's last concoction,

something light and fluffy made from vodka, chambord and champagne, I would surely understand your reference to the habitual ritual. As things stand, I'm not even going to use spellcheck to see if I got "chambord" right.

[Pretty Go Pale]

39. Hi, crim son

As advised in the 12-step program, I'm keeping it simple -- Heineken.

[crim son]

45. And I respect that, though I hate beer.

Normally it's wine - sauvignon blanc - or a greyhound for me, but a fellow was trying to prove how cosmopolitan he is by letting us sit in the leather seats of his new Mercedes, and making us these interesting beverages. How cosmopolitan can you be, however, when your apartment overlooks the City of Brewer? I had not the heart to tell him.

[Pretty Go Pale]

48. Hi, crim son

Acting impressed is very cosmopolitian. Enjoy your drink.

[crim son]

50. Long gone my friend.

And now I will go to bed. I've enjoyed our conversation!

Good night.

[Pretty Go Pale]

52. Goodnight, crim son

Thanks for the discourse.

[SPKrazy]

9. and ever since then

I've posted in the lounge

[Pretty Go Pale]

18. Hi, Southpawkicker

Better than lounging at the Army post.
