Duct tape.

time fixes most things. Particularly my current problems.

Booze. (Duh!)

posted by mudpuppie 09 December | 15:28

Donate it and buy a new one.

Take it to the vet.

Oh. Um, chocolate and swimming. Have I mentioned that I'm obsessed with swimming?

Hydrocodone and judicious use of twine.

Makeup.

Are you sure it's broken?

Makeup sex.

*sigh*

I'll repeat myself: drink several beers, smoke several cigarettes, eat cheesteak and jalapeno poppers, look at pictures of naked ladies, play loud vulgar music. Rinse, repeat.

Thank you, jon.

I'm going to take aspirin and drink water.

posted by Specklet 09 December | 15:46

I'm probably not going to fix it, I'm just going to keep making it worse. That or drink and listen to music, that works fine.

posted by Divine_Wino 09 December | 15:46

Also, I've come to the conclusion that Fontella Bass' "Rescue Me," is the most compilationized song of all time.

posted by jonmc 09 December | 15:52

Drinking and listening to music sounds divine. I'm already doing half of that right now. And if you consider that I'm listening to songs about drinking, then I'm doing 3/4 of that. Go me!

Oh, and I plan to fix the loneliness part by making new friends, particularly amongst the witty, beautiful, funny people here. I plan on starting with the Wino tonight. *bats eyelashes*

By breaking something even worse and letting relativity do the rest.

sam, your laser thing is controlling your mind, isn't it.

Get glasses. Eat more. Buy new shoes and socks.

Shucks mam *scuffles toe in dirt*. I'm probably more of an acquired taste than you might imagine, I'll totally be your internet homie though, lots of good ones around here. Tonight I am going to a (ha ha) S&M art show because it is the art of a friends boyfriend and I am going to bug out on all the people that think that they are big perverts 'cause they wear that shit on the OUTSIDE. Quiet Storm baby.

DW: Still waters and all that? That's totally hot.

posted by TrishaLynn 09 December | 16:38

With sushi. And blues.

posted by chewatadistance 09 December | 16:40

No more like kinda nuts and strange, choppy, oily waters. Also the woman that I live with and love would probably take umbrage if I said otherwise.

posted by Divine_Wino 09 December | 16:41

But, of course. And your kid might take umbrage as well. Not sure where it'd get taken, though... ^_^

posted by TrishaLynn 09 December | 16:54

I'm gonna take a shit.

A huge shit.

posted by Hugh Janus 09 December | 17:04

I had a two o'clock appointment just a few minutes ago myself.

posted by sciurus 09 December | 17:14

Everything come out alright?

posted by It's Raining Florence Henderson 09 December | 17:16

Hugh, you keep saying that!

posted by Specklet 09 December | 17:27

In the taz household everything gets fixed with superglue and/or gaffers' tape... If it can't be fixed with that, it can't be fixed at all.

Which, of course, is all fine for broken bones, and problems staying awake and such, but I wouldn't recommend it for Hugh's problem.

(or would I?)

posted by taz 09 December | 17:28

ignore the big shit.
lay low and then go for the surprise attack.
finish my burrito first.
goddamn headache.

posted by ethylene 09 December | 17:28

Told a gay friend.
He fixed with an energy drink and compliments about my hair.

posted by kellydamnit 09 December | 18:02

Sushi, music, and lying on the couch. I still feel like someone stomped on my head.

Well, Hugh?
WELL?

and you people with easily accessible gay friends and sushi make my head hurt
more

*looks for gay sushi delivery*
*totally just lied about looking*

posted by ethylene 09 December | 18:31

I'm eating sushi tonight, but with a breeder.

She's a pretty hot girl, though, and you never know what'll happen with a specklet drunk on sake.

posted by Specklet 09 December | 18:39

I'm going to get so drunk I black out and maybe if I'm lucky I'll get in a fight.

posted by cmonkey 09 December | 18:42

*over the booze*
*goes for the b complex energy drink*

if it makes you feel any better I really, really, really wish he was into girls.
or, well, more specifically, me.

posted by kellydamnit 09 December | 18:58

no, but my head hurts less and it was a rather good burrito if i do say so myself.
the beans were from a dismantled bean bag.
don't worry, i made both the burrito and the bag.

how about you send sushi and i'll send straight men

posted by ethylene 09 December | 19:12

I didn't even get to go to the damned sushi joint after all, damn it. Also, I've broken a bone in my wrist or some similar, which I fix with a Robocop-like brace.

posted by rebirtha 09 December | 20:46

time to fisticuffs: t minus 3 hours. set your watches.

posted by cmonkey 09 December | 20:52

Aftermath: Got drunk. Kinda still feel shitty, mostly because I don't have any Bushmills in the house and I know enough not to mix my alcohols. Man, the premium tequila that my Cuervo-contact is really calling me right now, but I also know enough to not answer that damn phone.

It gets better, right?
