Uh, I was told I was hysterical and should do stand-up comedy. So I've got that going for me.
I could see this. With your deadpan delivery, you could be like Steven Wright.
...because God knows you need some satisfaction in life besides shagging Captain Cardboard! And I never really liked you anyway. And you have stupid hair!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
You all are making me laugh. Hil's advisor is a dick.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
That quote was itching at the back of my mind where I could not quite reach it.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I was once told I should do stand-up. By a stand-up comedian who wanted to get laid.
So--- was this a nice Indian girl who told you this, Polter-Cow... because we might have found your wife! :)

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
"Any Emily Dickinson poem can be sung to the tune of The Yellow Rose of Texas."
And the theme to Gilligan's Island.

I try not to think about that.

I always sing "I like to see it lap the miles, and lick the valleys up" to Yellow Rose of Texas. It actually helps me remember.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I could see this. With your deadpan delivery, you could be like Steven Wright.
Heh, thanks. I wasn't even doing my deadpan thing, mostly just being me. The animated version of me, I mean. I'm in a two-day "Communicating to Influence" course, and we have to keep giving little presentations.
Sometimes I think about giving stand-up a try (this isn't the first time someone's suggested it), but I have no idea what I would talk about. And who would listen to me. (I think it'd be fun, though. If there's one thing I like, it's making people laugh.)
So--- was this a nice Indian girl who told you this, Polter-Cow... because we might have found your wife! :)
Alas, no. Although that nice Indian girl did like my OKC profile.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Well, that edit didn't go very well. Try again:
"Any poem by Emily Dickinson can be sung to the tune of The Yellow Rose of Texas"
Yes, and the Prologue to the Canterbury Tales can be sung to the tune of The Lonely Goatherd.
"Whan that Aprile with his shoures soote, odelayee, odelayee, oh, hee, hoo! The droughte of March hath perced to the roote, odelayee, odelay, hee hoo!"
Congratulations, Hil! Give that woman a sword cane, that she may run her advisor through! "From fore to aft? He'll feel a draft!"
Standup is fun, as long as you have good material. You're articulate, clever, and engaging--you'd probably do quite well. This could be a sideline for you!
Congratulations to Stephanie, too!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
long ago, they used to say "don't drive the car over 45 mph for the first 1,000 miles
And, if you were my grandfather, you could beat a speeding ticket by saying that the car was new and you'd never drive it faster than recommended.
