Natter 47: My Brilliance Is Wasted On You People  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Bwahaha! At the chaps conversation. Can I tag the question bit, Cash? "Aren't all chaps assless? Otherwise, wouldn't they be pants?"

I'm pretty sure I had chaps as a kid. I think I may have lacked a certain amount of cowgirl credibility, though, because I'm also pretty sure they were red corduroy, and thus, not particularly functional.

I cannot comment on the ass portion, though, because I was a child and that would just be inappropriate.

Oh, and the news shows are all down in our demographic because we're all freaking watching TDS & Colbert!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

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

I will do this!

I'll think good thoughts in my sleep, ok? Oh lord. Want what we want! Want msbelle to be mommabelle.

Um, ok in latest news of my asshole teenage neighbors, they had another cautionary visit from the cops. Seriously, I saw one of their buddies pissing on a tree the other night. So. Do I call 311 and report (knowing the cops are anal around here due to, gulp, 3 arsons)? Or wait until they are acting up again? Or leave an anonymous note on their parents' door? The hesitancy comes from the fact they've seen me witnessing all this, thus I don't really want to invite crappy ass, juvenile retaliation. God. I hate people.

Thinking the best court thoughts and will continue to do so. I'll be up for a while.

Ugh, sarameg. I've no idea what I'd do. Do the cops just not faze these boys at all? God, I'd have been grounded and punished and never been allowed to watch TV, talk to friends on the phone, or... much of anything if I'd ever done anything juvenile delinquenty that resulted in a visit from the cops. Seriously.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Holy shit, the onion naan at the new Indian place is good! Mmmmm, onion naan.

I got the Chicken Tikka Masala, which I believe is the Indian equivalent of Chinese Beef with Broccoli. In other words, the generic white person dish at an ethnic restaurant. But they had goat brains on their menu should I start to feel more adventurous. I got JZ her fav - Palak Paneer.

I will vibe smooth court thoughts in the morning.

YAY! I found the thing I bought in Denver that I thought I had lost. Maybe now I will even mail it.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

good court thoughts

I watched Bones tonight. Matt likes it - which I didin't think he would. But it works as a show he can watch without too much investment. I did not see the previews, but - from what I read here - yay!

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

God, I'd have been grounded and punished and never been allowed to watch TV, talk to friends on the phone, or... much of anything if I'd ever done anything juvenile delinquenty that resulted in a visit from the cops. Seriously.

No kidding. I mean, I was fairly destructive kid/teenager, but I limited myself to destroying my own property or garbage. Still, the cops tend to be concerned about things being set on fire in vacant lots. (Note to future generations, if your friend decides to light a yellow jacket nest on fire, just go home. Standing back fifty feet or so is not nearly far enough.) Even though I never harmed other people or their property, getting caught even for that stuff would have gotten me deep in trouble. Let alone anything worse.

That said, I did get some talking to by cops on a couple occaisions with my friends (mostly for hanging out in parks or whatnot after dark) but they were always a check ID, get told we're not supposed to be there after dark and get sent on our merry way. Had a cop actually showed up at our house, I would have never been able to leave my room for any reason other than going to school until I was 18.

ETA: In dinner news, I forgot to buy sour cream and didn't have any spicy cheese, so I ended using the tortillas and chicken to make really crappy soft-shell tacos. Will try making quesadillas some other time.
