Robin: I'm not quite at the frustration level where story-time is necessary, especially as I think the female in question is WELL outside the normal parameters of behavior - part of why I like her a lot, in this case - so I would need to give essays worth of background.

Steph: Your answer is good. I grant you the nickel. You can either email me your addy, or consider it an I.O.U.

billytea: Your answer is too realistic, sensible, and practical. Unacceptable in this case.

"Men are from Earth. Women are from Earth. Deal with it."

Might have to steal that.

I have just discovered a level of laziness previously unknown to human, or canine, kind.

Loud bang in the hallway.

Loud, fierce barking from my big, part-Rott dog.

Who was, and is still, sprawled out on the floor on her side.

She has not even lifted her head up off the floor.

I spent the whole weekend pretty much on my ass on the couch, but at least I'm upright. I gotta say, I'm impressed.

I have a shiny nickel for anybody that can explain the female species in 200 words or less.

We're pretty and smell good.

Teppy forgot to say we are also closer to the earth.

dw: Your answer is awesome, but the phrase "more deadlier" is of such terrible grammar that you are immediately disqualified. Sorry.

I am not closer to the earth! I am staying as far away from the earth as possible!

Signed, seriously hoping that a couple of half-assed coffee shop Marxists are the worse I ever have to face ever again.

And on that note, the cranky, teething baby has awakened. Time for a change and a cuddle.

Your answer is awesome, but the phrase "more deadlier" is of such terrible grammar that you are immediately disqualified. Sorry.

Gris, if those are lyrics before your time, I feel more oldlier than I am.

They are. At least, I've never heard them, but honestly? I was musically inept until about 5-8 years back, so much of the music "of my time" I still don't know. (See: Boyz II Men)

Space did a cover for Austin Powers, but I've never heard the original. Actually, I haven't even heard the original cover. What I have is supposedly a remix.

The fact that the weekend is almost over is deeply sad making.

billytea: Your answer is too realistic, sensible, and practical. Unacceptable in this case.

Well, darn. There is an outside chance that my girlfriend (whee! This is not a drill!) is also too realistic, sensible and practical, being as she is of the actuarial persuasion. But she seems acceptable so far. And better than the shiniest nickel in Nickelburg.
