Nutty
lets us in on her plans for when she's king of the forest, in
NATTER 16: RIO'S MAKE-OUT DEN:
I have spent many minutes dilligently trying to train Starbucksistas to say what they mean when they serve me drinks. Therefore, I ask for a small or a medium or a large, not a tall, taller or fricken ginormous. Also, when I ask for a cafe au lait, I damn well better get a cafe au lait, not a misto. Because the first time they did that to me, I stood around lost for 5 minutes while the guy yelled, "Misto??" and I was like, Dude, I am waiting for a cafe au lait.
This was in the Newbury St. Starbucks, but apparently word got around. The Boylston St. place says both now, when they finish making the drink.
Secretly, slowly, I am changing the world!!
flea: "So, that means you're really annoying and pedantic?"
Peanut gallery. I fly 100000 miles to have a peanut gallery.
Perkins: I have a new tooth!!!!
Ken Buddha: The posters here are getting younger and younger, I tell ya!
Madrigal with dating tips in Bitches...
Discovery of the weekend: If you're looking for a way to completely weird out a guy you just met a party, try doing the Charleston to "Blister in the Sun" with another friend.
erikaj in Fan Fiction, on a Mary Sue:
After that, I had to stop reading, but I'm sure she sings like Kathleen Battle and can talk to her dog.
Making the best of board's wonkiness:
Liese: But meanwhile, it's like gambling! Will I get a page header? error message? full text? Will my post go through or not? I could be the big big winner!
Kristen : It also takes numberslutting to a whole new level of fun and excitement. Will I get the number? Will anyone get the number? Will this thread say that it has 97 new posts when in reality it only has three?
Cindy sets 'em up, and just when I think I'm knocking 'em out, DXM comes in for the kill.
CINDY: WHICH OF THE SOMERVILLAINS TOLD YOU ABOUT MY EARS!!!!
VICTOR: Wasn't me, because I haven't met you. Actually, I'm convinced you're an elaborate hoax being perpetrated on me by Nutty, DXM and Tom Warren, and don't exist at all.
CINDY: WHO TOLD YOU ABOUT THE ELABORATE HOAX?
DXM: The funny thing about this? Victor is totally the fictional construction of three small furry evil aliens posing as ferrets...
t thwap!!
This is Victor's ferrets. Pay no attention to DX. He had to, er, step away from the computer for a second because he was telling scurrilous mistruths about our puppet master.
From Natter:
billytea's assessment of Dubya's UN Address:
Do I have this right? Is he basically saying that all the countries who thought it was a dreadful idea to begin with, should now stump up their own cash and troops to get the US out of the hole it's in, while refusing to give up any authority and telling them all they were poopy-heads for opposing it in the first place?
DXMachina:
Yup, except he's not quite that erudite.
BT, again on Dubya:
Well, at least he's avoiding his dad's mistake of mastering foreign policy while neglecting the home front.
It's funny, but it's sad, yanno?
