I tried to follow the links, I really did, and I had a hard time, but it doesn't mean I don't love you. Each and every one of you. Because I do. Love you, that is.

Is this flameout, parody, or inebriation?

posted by veedubya 18 July | 09:12

none of the above?

Hee. Never! My computer at home crashed (yes, AGAIN, can you believe it?) so I couldn't have volleyed with you anyway. And I'm going to spend tonight working on it, so no corpsing again tonight. So, see, I'm not waiting on you at all, and all is fine.

I think you need to sing a song for languagehat. He will be seduced by your dulcet-toned girly noises and will fall quickly under your spell.

mr. 13, you really must stop
i am blushing and look 'orrible with a tan to me pallor

posted by ethylene 18 July | 16:12

I love you too, ethylene, and I didn't mean for you to think anything different -- I was just trying to explain that verbal performance art is as much a part of what you do as what the average punter would call "communicating." But I don't seem to be communicating very well myself these days. Stop me before I use a frowny emoticon!

*stops self with difficulty*

Mike would be pleased.

** feels need to explain.
Because we're not communicating as well as we were...
We are not communicating as much as excommunicating.
Hence the tubular bells midi.
Which was the theme tune to the exorcist.

triangle, anyone?
glockenschpiel?
german spellcheck?

posted by ethylene 18 July | 19:40

"Waiter! A bowl of German spellcheck, please!"
"That's Schpehltscheck, sir."
"How dare you! I want to speak to the manager."
"Certainly, sir. One moment, please."

* * *

"My waiter insulted me!"
"Oh dear, I do apologize. May I ask what happened?"
"I asked for a bowl of German spellcheck and he told me I should have said Schpehltscheck."
"Tsk. It's actually Schpiehltschech. Please forgive him, he's had a lot on his mind lately."
"How dare you! I'm never eating here again."
"Technically, sir, you have not eaten here in the first place, so you could hardly eat here 'again.'"

Mayhem; exeunt omnes, pursued by a bear.
