The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I did, but it got used yesterday.

Once again, I am blaming everything on the cold.

Or maybe Nilly.

I have my new iPod!

My blood pressure is still high, but much lower than two weeks ago! Despite work aggravating me like whoa!

I now return to the service of my tiny overlord.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Sigh. I've just been shamed by the work ethic of a sick woman, and grossed out by ita.

Maybe I shouldn't have stopped by.

It was Smallville, but I don't remember the context.

I don't either. Emily should tell us, as I think they were her fault.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Well, you made me happy by stopping by, Burrell, if that counts for anyhting.

kprinkle!

It's always nice to see you, Burrell. I too am shamed by Allyson's work ethic.

I should do laundry and dishes. And you know what though, it wouldn't be so bad if we were the types who couldn't sleep with dishes in the sink.

I want to make kristmas kards that say KPRINKLE!

Mostly lurking...

Emily will be along shortly. She is type-type-typing away.

I'm pretty sure it was the Smallville thread. There was the famous "cocksickle" episode -- Club Zero, I believe it was called -- in which Lex was hung upside down in a straitjacket, bald head gleaming in the interrogation-light. Not that they called it the "cocksickle" episode, but I don't think I came up with it either. Maybe TWOP? Or somebody here? I think I just said that we should use it more in conversation, it being such a good word, and not in the bad way that seemed natural (like, "Oh, cocksickle. I dropped my only condom down the vent") but in a positive way, to affirm the essential goodness of the cocksickle concept -- "I got the job and found $20 -- it's just such a cocksickle day!" I think I came up with several examples, by the end of which cocksickles had become like unto the famed tartlets. The conversation spurred a flurry of cocksickle-themed taglines, made the more funny because WX, wise to our porny ways (or somebody's porny ways, anyway) wouldn't allow "cock" in a tagline, forcing the taggers to resort to capitalization and 0's. And if "cocksickle" was startling and attention-getting in a tagline, C0CKSICKLE was even more so. Within a day or two, the whole board had been exposed to the glory of the cocksickle. Figuratively speaking.

but I don't think I came up with it either. Maybe TWOP? Or somebody here?

Wasn't it Ellen's coinage? I'm pretty sure the first cocksicle comments wound up in COMM.

Ah, the glory days of the cocksickle, I remember them well. Good times!
