There seems to be much suckage right now I wish there was a way to give everyone some real respite from the sadness and pain, but for now, may hugs and hand holding and soft susurrus abound and take the edge off.

And, yes, I know it's totally sappy. But it's entirely sincere.

You guys rock.

Fris, you're a peach. :-)

Thanks Fris. That actually made me tear up. Needed that.

posted by Specklet 28 October | 15:48

Aw, Fris! That was very sweet and muchly needed.

I will gladly give noogies to anyone that I can lock in The Death Grip 4000.

You all have permission to cuddle up to my bushy tail.

soft susurrus

susurrus?

That sound awful similar to the Yiddish word tsuris the meaning of which is roughly equivalent to the Italian word agida.

You wish me agida? You trying to do me in, you crazy broad?

Sussudio?

posted by matteo 28 October | 16:27

No, sussudio gives me tsuris. and agida, come to think of it.

don't make me drag out that scottish version of Rawhide, matteo. Or better yet just listen to this. The sheer Irishness of it may give you hives.

lyrics. (they add to the fun)

Fris: Posted the intended-for-MeCha mix in the other thread.

Jon: You may wanna take a look too... (And everyone else who needs that one overlong Maiden song to complete their collection).

Thanks, Frisbee Girl. Not for all that sappy shit. I'm too cool for that. But for teaching me su·sur·rus. Though I'm certainly not too cool for a word of the day dictionary, I don't have one nonetheless. But you made up for that shortcoming in my life, and it rhymes with anus!

I believe I will now go dig out that tape of whale murmurs which really sound like extremely loud farts to a 11 year old (the last time I listened to it). I hope it doesn't make me sad again.

- dano, so glad to have been of 'service', sir.

- q, that makes you a sort of whisper whisperer. Scratch that, closer to a whisper frisker.

- matteo, thank the good Lord that you don't live close enough to attend meet-ups here. I am an unrepentant hugger. You would face certain doom.

- iconomy, you absolutely made my Friday by tracking down that song. Thanks again!

And, klangklangston, got the mixes. Yip!

posted by Frisbee Girl 29 October | 11:25

You're welcome, fris, and thanks for the "reward"!

The song downloaded to my computer about 3 days ago while I was sleeping. I had Soulseek on and I started out somrthing like 800th in queue for download from the user who had it, and it took...what - over a week and a half? But it downloaded automatically, bless its little heart.
