29 October 2008

OK Stop it now. 1. The comments have disappeared from the bunnyfire thread because (I think) of a bug in the software. Please try not to read too much into it.
2. taz won't be up until the morning. She can spend the morning cleaning up metachat, or she can spend it having a nice cup of coffee and a pleasant breakfast. You decide.
3. I'm in the process of overreacting to this situation. I'm going to bed before I do something I regret, and would ask that you all try and quell those important things you must say until tomorrow.
here here.

Thanks for the clarification, seanyboy, and sweet dreams.

Oh, hell. I clicked "disable comments instead of "close comments". Back now, I'm stupid.

Also, glad I just woke up at 2:30 for peepee and a glass of water, and the laptop was still open. Sorry, ack!

Today at work, one of my homeless customers told one of my non-homeless customers that he 'looked like teddy Pendergrass.' That's not something you hear everyday.

I had a homeless gentleman accuse me of making him drop his handful of leaves this evening.

I wasn't really sure how to respond to that one.

I went home sick today. My stomach just wouldn't stop bothering me. Mr. V is away - so gomichild, could you sing me a lullaby, too?

Jonmc, I remember a semi-homeless lady in my neighborhood growing up who used to sing as she pushed her shopping cart around. We called her "Bella".

vix, the guy who was told he look liked Teddy is a professional book dealer from Nigeria named Bayo who sells off his excess stock to us. There's definitely a resemblance. His answer was "Well, he was popular with the ladies..."

Whoa. I missed all this.

So, the dangerous cocktails ... Molotov or Cosmopolitan?

Today while walking downtown I noticed this big ass fat white guy with all sorts crazy ass black makeup scribbled all over his face. We were walking in opposite directions and as we passed he asked me if I had another big gulp cup on me so he could get a drink. I said "nah man" and we both kept walking. Then 2 blocks later I noticed a well dressed older black gentleman casually walking next to a small park. Then all of a sudden he stops in place and starts doing some kind of funky dance for a good 20 seconds. The then continued walking.

Did your customer respond by singing a few bars of "If You Don't Know Me By Now"?

"Love TKO" would've been even better. (I actually said "well, if he don't know that by now.." to both of them, which drew a chuckle.

Lullaby for redvixen. (^_^)

I do that from time to time.

I think the world would be better if everyone did that once in a while.

I wish I was that kind of guy. I'm not, but I wish I was.

*stops to do funky dance*

Tonight I made a great dinner with meatloaf and mash and red wine poached pears with Mascarpone. I was not watching over mecha at all. Still, no one wrote to me about this earth shaking event of great importance.

Really, if we are going to hell in a nice hand woven hand basket you could try writing to us mods and we will look in to see what is going on.

We were having fun!

Yeah, even though I may not be hangin' with my MeCha homies, I'm generally in a position to respond to an e-mail more or less promptly so, if people are fretting about what's happening in a similar vein, drop me a line.

Okay, sorry, next time I won't make a post. My hunch was that it was some little glitch and not a mass deletion, I wasn't that concerned about it, and I'm sorry for fanning the flames.

what happened? i feel left out :P

Okay, just read the thing....

I noticed it, thought it mildly odd, but "Meh."

You guys do s great job of keeping things running; I'm so sorry to hear that this weighed on you. Thanks for everything!

hugs, whuffles & smooooches - Theora
