SHOUTING THREAD! I LOST MY STUPID FLASH DRIVE→[More:]AND IT HAD ALL MY ASSIGNMENTS FROM MY CSS/JAVASCRIPT CLASS ON IT INCLUDING THE UGLIEST SITE IN THE WORLD WHICH I HAVE BEEN EARNESTLY WORKING ON FOR WEEKS! BAH! BOO! I DON'T WANT TO DO THE WHOLE THING OVER! IT'S HARD TO CREATE SOMETHING THAT COMPLETELY UNREDEEMABLY HIDEOUS AND I WAS GETTING FOND OF IT!

I HAVE THE DAY OFF FROM WORK AND I CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO SPEND MY TIME AND I'LL PROBABLY JUST WASTE THE WHOLE DAY SITTING AROUND IN MY PAJAMAS FEELING UGLY.

ALSO, I CAN'T FIGURE OUT THE CONTROLS FOR THE NEW TOMB RAIDER GAME DEMO AND LARA KEEPS GOING SIDEWAYS AND BACKWARDS INSTEAD OF FORWARDS! THIS IS ANNOYING!

BUMMER! I'M SLEEPY AS HELL. BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS, IT'S FINALLY GIN AND GINGERALE + LIME WEATHER!

I WOULD KILL TO HAVE THE DAY OFF OF WORK SO I COULD LIE AROUND IN MY PAJAMAS! I'M SO VERY TIRED! I'M COLD AND TIRED AND AW MAN NOW THE CRAMPS ARE STARTING. AGAIN.

OMG MY CAR TOTALLY STARTED KNOCKING LIKE ZOMBIES TRYING TO COME OUT OF THE ENGINE COMING BACK FROM LUNCH. I ONLY HAD COOLANT, WASHER FLUID, AND BEER IN THE BACK OF THE CAR. I PUT SOME COOLANT IN THE COOLANT AREA. I NEED OIL I THINK. I DO NOT NEED ANOTHER CAR REPAIR, I MUST TO BUNNYSTOCK IN TWO MONTHS PLUS OTHER MONEY COSTING THINGS I NEED. *SOOOOOOBBBBING*

YOU SHOULD NOT FLASH PEOPLE WHILE DRIVING, MGL! YOU COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS!

posted by jrossi4r 26 May | 11:44

I'VE CREATED A MONSTER!

I HATE MGL'S FLASH DRIVE FOR HER BUT ADMIRE HER ABILITY TO FLASH AND DRIVE. I HAVE DONE TOO MANY ODD AND RANDOM TASKS OVER THE LAST TWO DAYS SO THAT I HAVE LOST ALL SENSE OF JUDGEMENT AND TASTE. NOTHING IS READY MADE SO I THINK I WILL EAT A CARROT OR TWO AND IT'S ALL A CRAPSHOOT AFTER THAT.
A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T SEEM TO BE ON THE SITE VERY MUCH IF AT ALL ANYMORE AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHY OR WHAT IS GOING ON.

PEACOCKS ARE LOUD AND OBNOXIOUS, I COULD BE GETTING SPECKLET'S CRAMPS OR JUST HAVE A REALLY BAD CHAIR AND I AM NOT EVEN GOING TO GET CLOSE TO TALKING ABOUT FILTHY FILTHY LUCRE.

I ALWAYS WANTED TO FLASH THE BUSES FULL OF PRISONERS ON I-83 IN BALTIMORE BECAUSE I FELT SORRY FOR THEM AND THOUGHT THAT BEING FLASHED MIGHT MAKE THEIR DAY. BUT I NEVER HAD THE GUTS TO ACTUALLY DO IT WHICH IN RETROSPECT IS KIND OF A PITY.

posted by mygothlaundry 26 May | 11:56

YOU TOOK THE WORDS RIGHT OUT OF MY MOUTH! THAT'S WHY I LOVE YOU!

posted by Hugh Janus 26 May | 11:56

NOW I'M DRESSED BUT I STILL FEEL UGLY AND USELESS TODAY. I THINK IT'S THE GRAY WEATHER- WERE IT SUNNY, I'M SURE I'D BE A LOT CHEERIER.

posted by ThePinkSuperhero 26 May | 12:00

NOW HUGH LOVES GOTH AND WANTS TO FLASH PRISONERS IN BALTIMORE!
HE KNEW HE HAD ME AT HUE!
NOW THANKS TO FOOD I CAN SEE CLEARLY AND MUST RESIST THE MANY MANY JOKES FLOODING MY BRAIN--
--MUST RESIST ANIMAL THREAD UNTIL THEY SUBSIDE--
--MUST BLOCK THE FUNNY--

AW ETH, LOOK AT THE TIME STAMP!

MY DOG'S FARTS ARE MAKING MY EYES WATER.

posted by fenriq 26 May | 12:28

Fenriq - one time in Baltimore (why is Baltimore in my head today?) my cordless phone suddenly picked up someone else's conversation. It was a woman speaking in purest Bawlmerese and she said, "I got to get off the phone hon, these dogs are just fartin' and fartin', I can't stand it, I just got to get out of this house."

posted by mygothlaundry 26 May | 12:36

BUT THE BABY'S FARTS ARE LIKE SWEET JASMINE.

IT WAS A JOKE, HUGH. I KNOW WITH ENOUGH DUTCH COURAGE YOU WOULD FLASH THE PRISONERS AND THEN WE WOULD HAVE CRABCAKES OR OTHER FRESHER SEAFOODS WITH A FINE STOUT IN THERE SOMEWHERE AFTER THE KIND BUD.
BUT I KNOW YOU COULD NEVER REALLY LOVE ME.
MY BREASTS ARE FAR TOO LARGE FOR YOUR EFFETE SENSIBILITES AND WE WOULD SING AND WRITE AMUSING BON MOTS TO EACH OTHER UNTIL THE BREAK OF DAWN AFTER DAWN, NEVER HAVING ENOUGH REST FOR VIGOROUS PHYSICAL INTIMACIES OR GETTING TO THE PLAYHOUSE ON TIME, PISSING OFF THE ENTIRE CAST OF EACH PROJECT AND THE WHOLE ANTARTIC ROUND TABLE--

posted by ethylene 26 May | 12:43

BUT ISN'T THAT LOVE?

posted by Hugh Janus 26 May | 12:55

LOVE ISN'T ENOUGH, UNLESS THERE IS ENOUGH MONEY, AND, BABY, AS MUCH AS I'D LOVE TO KEEP YOU IN THE MANNER TO WHICH YOU'RE ACCUSTOMED, THERE AIN'T NO WAY I'M GONNA MAKE IT UNLESS THROUGH SOME FREAK COINCIDENCE EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO EVER OWED ME PAID ME BACK SOON.

I WOULD DEFINITELY FINAGLE A WAY TO AFFORD STAMPS SO WE COULD CORRESPOND IN THE CLASSIC STYLE TO BE COMPILED FOR POSTERITY POSTHUMOUSLY.

I SAY WE BEAT THE TAR OUT OF SARTE AND SIMONE.

I do rather need a muse in a way. hmm.

SORRY, LT SUCKED THE LAST OF THE JOLLIES RIGHT OUTTA ME, BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE A MAN OF HONOR IN THAT PARTICULAR WAY THAT I COULD TRUST YOU WITH MY BEST INTERESTS AND AFFECTIONS, LITERARILY AND MAYHAPS OTHERWISE.
I'D EVEN GIVE YOU DIBS ON ALL THE SELECTIVE NEEDS OF MODE, GENRE, SLANG, ETC.

This is where you tell me you're a scientologist who only wants to write sequels to Battleship Earth.

posted by ethylene 26 May | 13:13

FOR YOU, ANYTHING!

I'd gladly correspond on wings of snails. AND UPPER LEVEL THETANS!

posted by Hugh Janus 26 May | 13:28

oh no no no

*sigh*

you flirt, you tease
but you'll never truly please me
with honest appeasement
of the ease meant
in the lyrical back and forth
of true communication

Now I'm just exhausted and slow. I've been using "proper" syntax and grammatical style for ages now.

I FEEL LIKE A TIC TAC TO A WHALE.

posted by ethylene 26 May | 13:39

GODDAMMIT! LIKE AN EEJIT I WASHED MY NEW RED SILK JAMMIE PANTS WITH ALL MY OTHER DELICATES! USUALLY IT'S ALL BLACK SO THAT'D BE OKAY BUT OH, NO, NOT THIS TIME! NOW MY WHITE BRAS ARE ALL PINK AND MY SUPER-COMFY CREAM LINEN SHIRT HAS RED SPLOTCHES ALL OVER IT! I HATE PINK!

ALSO, I FEEL LIKE A WHALE TO ETH'S TIC TAC!

posted by elizard 26 May | 14:37

I HAVEN'T HAD A TIC TAC SINCE I WAS IN SINGLE DIGITS, AND IT WAS MORE FOR THE BOX.

DEPIGMENTATORS LIKE DD7 WORK WONDERS.

posted by ethylene 26 May | 15:15

NOTE HOW HUGH IS ALL TALK, NO ACTION.
CORRESPONDENCE IS A DYING ART.

posted by ethylene 26 May | 15:22

AS IS PATIENCE, MY DEAR.

posted by Hugh Janus 26 May | 15:31

THINGS REALLY FUCKING SUCK RIGHT NOW. THAT IS ALL.

posted by matildaben 26 May | 15:39

IT'S TRUE.

PATIENCE DOESN'T DIE. IT WITHERS AND CRUSTS LIKE A HAVERSHAM.
I'm rather surprised you're still at work, Hugh.
I already have a drawing or two of Wino as a past century fop. I don't know if he's still around but pass it along.

posted by ethylene 26 May | 15:50

I'm rather surprised, too. What the hell am I doing here?

And Matildaben, chin up! Getchaself a smile on that clockayours, stat! Or just, well, I hope things get better, that's all. Big hugs, have a good weekend, y'all.

I know I will; I'm testing a new happiness principle. It should be a blast.

MY EX-WIFE GOT AHOLD OF ONE OF MY PAYCHECKS FROM FEBRUARY AND OPENED IT AND MADE RUDE COMMENTS ABOUT HOW MUCH IT WAS AND THEN SHOWED UP AT MY REHEARSAL LAST NIGHT WITH A HUGE-ASS BOX OF MY STUFF, WHICH INCLUDED ALL OF OUR WEDDING PHOTOS AND HONEYMOON PICS WHICH MEANS IT'S COMPLETELY OVER IN HER HEAD AND NOW ETHELYNE IS PISSED AT ME AND I DRANK TOO MUCH CAFFEINE AND I'M HYPER AND MISCONSTRUED AND WANT TO GO DRINK.

*hugs 'tilda and LT*

posted by elizard 26 May | 16:20

I AM NOT PISSED AT LT. I AM JUST TIRED AND WAITING FOR PROBABLY AT LEAST AN HOUR AND SHOULD EAT SOMETHING AND LOTS OF THINGS SUCK BUT I'VE BEEN TRYING TO BE POSITIVE AND PRODUCTIVE NONETHELESS, EVEN AS PROSPECTS GROW DIMMER ON MANY FRONTS. I WISH MATS AND EVERYONE ELSE DIDN'T FEEL SO BAD BUT MANY THINGS DO SUCK BEYOND THE TELLING.

MEANWHILE, THE MONKEY IS THE ONLY ANIMAL CRACKER WITH PANTS, SO ASK OZ SAYS WHEN SPEAKING FOR THE MONKEY: "RESPECT MY MONKEY PANTS!"

posted by ethylene 26 May | 16:23

THAT K JUST SNUCK IN. IT'S AS OZ--

posted by ethylene 26 May | 16:26

LT RESPECTS YOUR MONKEY AND THE PANTS HE RODE IN, IN!
