"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Cindy in Bitches (proving that great minds do, indeed, think alike)

'Twas the Night After Solstice sorta by me

'Twas the night after Solstice, when all through Spike's Bitches
Not a creature was stirring, not even hedge witches;
Our stockings were hung by the chimney and yet,
Sean up and walked off with juliana's fence nets;

The Bitches were nestled all snug in their bunks,
Having visions of sugar-plums or just maybe hunks;
Teppy in her ski clothes, but many in gowns,
Had just settled down for their long winter's slounge,

When out on the 'net there arose such a clatter,
I sprang to b.org to check out the Natter.
Using Windows(TM) I flew like a flash,
Clicked open my favorites, avoided the slash.

The moon on the breast of the U.S. midwest
Gave the lustre of mid-day to many of b.org's best
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But ita's wet men, with many near bare!

I'm a little old lady, with dh and sprog,
But too many fine Bitches are in need of a snog.
More rapid than eagles the Bitches they came,
And I whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;

"Now, TEPPY! now, ERIKA! now, GINGER and SJ!
On, MARIA! on LEE! on, LILTY and SA!
To the top of the page! to the top of the lists!
Now click away! click away! click away Bitches!"

As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky,
So up to ita's site their Windows they flew,
For an eye full of boys, and that girlie elf, too.

And then, in a twinkling, one of them asked on the 'net
"What about us Bitches who aren't strictly het?"
Unable to help them, I looked down at the ground,
When down the chimney P.M.M. came with a bound.

She was dressed all in leather, from her head to her foot,
Maternity corset laced loosely, dainty foot in wee boot;
A bundle of links she did fling on the board,
She can be such a peddler, she never did hoard.

Her eyes -- how they twinkled! Her dimples how merry!
Her cheeks were like roses, her nose like a cherry!
Her droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the skin on her shoulders was as white as the snow;

The core of a apple she held tight in her hand,
(Hey! Princess Ticky Box needs her vitamins, man);
She had a pretty face and a little round belly,
It moved, because there's a baby in there, silly.

She was macking on Fay, a right jolly old elf,
And I laughed when I saw them, in spite of myself;
A wink of her eye and a twist of her head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;

She spoke not a word, but went straight to her task,
And left many fic links too, we didn't have to ask,
And laying her finger aside of she nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney she rose;

She sprang to her sleigh, to her team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard her exclaim, ere she drove out of sight,
"HAPPY SURFING TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD-NIGHT!"

in Bitches, a discussion of actuaries and the frightening number of Bitches with actuarial degrees on the wall:

Betsy HP: Makes a mental note to hang something on the wall, maybe next year

Fay: Maybe an actuary?

billytea: DE-E-E-ECK the halls with act-u-ar-ies, falalalala, falalala/Maaaaybe add a dromedary, falalalala, falalala

What is even happening?

(DX, I didn't know you'd posted one before I did. Your story is so great! *applause* Sorry, for the unintentional copycatting)


DXMachina - Dec 23, 2004 4:54:34 pm PST #7087 of 10000
You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Cindy, I only posted, like, six minutes before you did. That's about as close to simultaneous as one can get for a coincidence like that. Not copycatting at all.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

The Day before Christmas Eve in Natter:

kat perez - If you ever have to do random last minute shopping for kids in your family, do not, for the love of all things holy, go into Old Navy. No matter what those snarky carol singers in the commercials promise you, Old Navy does not offer an easy, breezy holiday shopping excursion. It will scar your soul.

I need a drink.

SA - You know, I do not doubt this is true. You might need a cigarette in addition to that drink.

NoiseDesign - And possibly a tetanus shot.

kat perez - I don't smoke, but I now have red wine and chocolate sitting next to my shopping trophy - a couple of strands of hair snatched from the head of a woman who tried to knock me into the middle of next week to get to a size 12 - 18 months blue and grey boy's fleece pullover while a whiny sales girl rambled on about how all striped hats were on sale for $2.99. Bitch thought she could take me out? Please.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Hah!

Also, seeing my name twice from one evening in COMM is all sorts of joyfyul.

If I only had a brain...

erikaj demonstrates the true spirit of Christmas:

I got a card from the out-laws today that said that some monks or nuns or something from Saint Mary Immaculate were praying for me, with $20 in it. I'm with Rita Mae though "Lead me not into temptation. I can find the way myself." First resolution: Get into sufficient adventures that they won't be wasting the masses.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

My GOD, how did I miss that one?!? Thank you, Betsy.

Aw, shucks, I'm all flattered and shit.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

Deb laments "the hobbit movies" in Bitches:

Man, these movies are loud. I just went into the living room in search of my spare reading glasses, and winced at the noise, and it turned out to be a tree making it. A tree.

Trees are not supposed to be loud. You know? Trees are supposed to be quiet, or soothing, or silently menacing (if you happen to suffer from genuine panic, a fear of the woods at night).

Trees, however, should not moan. Or worse, keen or lament.

Need excedrin.
