Perkins, OMG he loved them. Of course he does not get half of it, but the silliness and slapstick was loved. btw - disk 2 was missing.
Saffron: But we've been wed. Aren't we to become one flesh? Mal: Well, no, uh... We're still two fleshes here, and I think that your flesh ought to sleep somewhere else.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
YAY.
Huh. I suspect it may still be at Chez Smay. At least I hope so, because otherwise I have no idea.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Welcome, Welcome ,one and all to the Niles Annual flea Market and Antique Sale weekend ( officially Sunday) It began with the ice cream social on our block -- that turned into a grill fest and ended with a scotch tasting. The party was supposed to start at 630--- but people showed up at 6 . I live in a good neighborhood. The dealer are out in their vans looking for bargains. Today there will be much selling and haggling. Tonight the kick off part where everyone bring food and drink and gets sent back home at midnight. At midnight the volunteers prepare to let the vendors in and and close down main street. As early as 4 am the bargain hunters show up -- and the pancake breakfast happens. More selling happens -- everyone goes to bed and the scavengers stat looking for the freebies. Monday morning - brunch at a friends house. Monday night - celebrate my BIL's birthday.
on Tuesday we work?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Huh, so the library closed for the whole weekend. Poop. I have a book on hold that will get released Tuesday. Again I say poop.
It also threw off my errand running timetable. Now I am 30 min earlier for the playdate drop-off/lunch.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Anyone know what cant is? I just found out.
Thieves' cant was a secret language (a cant or cryptolect) which was formerly used by thieves, beggars and hustlers of various kinds in Great Britain and to a lesser extent in other English-speaking countries. The classic, colourful argot is now mostly obsolete, and is largely relegated to the realm of literature and fantasy role-playing, although individual terms continue to be used in the criminal subcultures of both Britain and the U.S..
Here is a canting dictionary from 1736: [link]
This stuff is fascinating:
ABRAM-MEN, otherwise called Toms of Bedlam, shabby Beggars, patched and trick'd up with Ribbons, Red-Tape, Fox-tails, Rags of various Colours; pretending to be besides themselves, to palliate their Thefts of Poultry, Linnen, &c. A sort of itinerant Hedge-Robbers, and Strippers of Children, &c.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
tommy, so you never played D&D? Which IIRC mentioned Theive's Cant as a language.
