Ewwww....now I have an icky mental picture.

Sorry, I've had a rough day. Turns out storming the castle requires a lot of mental energy, not to mention planning.

I inferred that he doesn't bring women to his place while his parents are there.

That's all sorts of complicated. I grew up in a very sort of "not while you're under my roof!" sort of a house, so I can't imagine spending all my adult years there. Which is why I need a job soon so I don't have to go back. Not that I'm doing anything scandalous now...

Natter, right? Then I shouldn't be OT if I interrupt the current discussion(s) to note that I missed the tenth anniversary of my delurking, in the Agnes Bertiz motherthread on TableTalk. It was June 2, 1999. ::throws handful of confetti into air over head. toots noisemaker horn::

We now return you to your discussions, already in progress.

ION, the Tourettes theory is gaining ground amongst my theories to explain the guy downstairs. A few hours ago he shouted out a single word (I forget what it was, but the word doesn't lend itself to being used as a single word interjection).

OTOH, he is a musician, and he does have a microphone set up on a stand in his living room right now. Maybe he needed to re-record a single word?

I missed the tenth anniversary of my delurking, in the Agnes Bertiz motherthread on TableTalk.

Yay!

I mean for the anniversary, not the missing of it....

I know! Look how far we've come, with our own board, and topic threads and stuff. Who'da thunk?

The same place his parents do?

In their bed? That ain't right.

Well, obviously he waits until they're not in it.

You know, down the hall or something.

I'm watching a show on TLC about a little boy who has some kind of genetic problem that leads to him having a lot of muscle and very little fat. He could do a chin-up when he was 18 months old. He likes swimming and he's pretty good at it, and they're comparing him to Michael Phelps. The narrator noted that Michael Phelps has some genetic abnormalities, and that his body produces a lot less lactic acid than normal, and asked, "Are his records due to his physiological advantages over his competitors?"

Um, yes? I kind of thought that was the point of sports -- the person who is best physically wins, and some people are naturally better physically than other people, so those people are more likely to win.

Well, obviously he waits until they're not in it.

Ya hope.

"Are his records due to his physiological advantages over his competitors?"

Usain Bolt is obviously a freak of nature, and the guy who bests him will be freakier. It seems obvious.

Lance Armstrong too.
