Congrats to CV!
I am with bon bon on the cursing of DeBeer's.
Yay for free stuff, ita. I want free stuff. I mean,
additional
free stuff.
I'll see brother and immediate company at some other time of year.
That seems perfectly reasonable. If you're going to see people a couple of times a year or less, why not pick good times?
Can the next thread be called "Why Do I Highlight Perkins' Whitefont?"
I immediately sent the link of the jumping lillybean off to DH ... damn, ded.
and I thought Perkin's story was really funny.
Perkins, you know that creature was just bopping along somewhere in the backseat going
wheeeeeeee!
And since I really don't have any work to do yet, not only did I come over here, I'm obsessively checking to see if my grades are in yet, which they are not. Bah!
Is it too early to drink? Alcohol is the only thing that kills this kind of RSI pain. Which sucks because even though I'm taking the only painkiller that works for me, I'd get in trouble with HR for drinking. Grrr. No like pain. Glad I have an appointment with the CMT tonight.
Sarameg's "joyous" holiday reminds me of the Creature Comforts "12 Days of Christmas" ep that was on BBC America last Friday night. The best part was the (I think) guinea pig talking about the "Christmas Habits:"
Well, there's the big-belly habit, followed by the "I ate too much" habit, followed by the "loud argument" habit, followed by the "slamming doors" habit, followed by the "oh, God, we have to be here four more days?" habit.
To make matters worse, just as I parked the car, the version of Spider Man that Teppy put on one of her buffista mixes came on.
I don't mean to mock your terror, but the synchronicity is too amusing not to laugh.
Well I'd have been below the age of consent back then, but I know I proposed to my kindergarden girlfriend. It didn't last.
I had a Kindergarden engagement once. I may have, er, sort of left him at the alter and refused to climb out of the tree because the minister we picked was scaring me. The minister might have been a really really terrifying and evil Scarlett Macaw so er, I may have possibly developed an irrational fear of skinny ministers with big teeth and lurching movements that, could possibly be why I am no longer Welcome at the Vatican.
NEXT SUBJECT!
On the Spider of Sproing:
Well, at least it came with a theme song. How many of us can claim the same thing?
