Hello, Cat. It seems you were correct in your prognostications.

I suppose I'm just as predictable online as I am in meatspace.

I love ju-jubes too! SWEET (pun intended)!

My faves are liquorice allsorts though...
 
 
the cat's iao
02:27 / 10.08.04
Enh. I don't think it's "predictable," but merely habitual, which is perhaps a nicer way to look at it...
 
 
Bastard Tweed
02:27 / 10.08.04
So how do you two prefer to eat them?

One at a time, color grouping, or multivaried clusters?
 
 
the cat's iao
02:29 / 10.08.04
Well, being a Libra (which might mean shit, really) I do a bit of both...

PS--nice use of the fifty-cent word above, btw!

 
 
Bastard Tweed
02:30 / 10.08.04
Prognostication or multivaried?
 
 
the cat's iao
02:32 / 10.08.04
Oh crap, I only now realized you offered a tripartite disjunction (I see yer fifty-cent word and raise you fifty...)!

I don't really do colour grouping--it's the other two that I do. Although, I like to eat lemon and lime together...
 
 
the cat's iao
02:32 / 10.08.04
The former.
 
 
Bastard Tweed
02:35 / 10.08.04
Very cleverly done, allow me to offer my . . . contrafibularities.

I prefer the mulivaried clusters. I love the way the flavors take turns with your tastebuds attention.
 
 
the cat's iao
02:48 / 10.08.04
Why, that’s most cromulent of you! I am truly enbiggened by your comment (I call yer’ bluff sucka’)…

Meanwhile, it seems that I am unable to type in the response box. This is puzzling. So I have to type in a Word file, cut and paste to the box to respond.

Weird.

Hello!
 
 
Bastard Tweed
02:53 / 10.08.04
Bluff? Bluff?!? *Gugh, bugh,splutter* I'm speechless.

I'm anispeptic, frasmotic, even compunctious to be accused of such perincumbobulations.
 
 
Saint Keggers
02:57 / 10.08.04
Hey Stoatie! Welcome aboard! How ya doing?
 
 
the cat's iao
02:59 / 10.08.04
YAY! I can type in the box again!

Hey Stoatie a la moatie! You at work?

And meanwhile, your frasmotic, compunctious attitude is not slarpshasting by this fluvhotten slicturn, Czernobog!

antidisestablimentterianism!!!

We sould probably stop before we resort to Klingnon and completely lose everyone's respect.



Consarnit.

I'm good... I'm at work, unfortunately, but only a couple of hours before I get to go home.
 
 
the cat's iao
03:03 / 10.08.04
I don't know Klingon...I don't even own a Klingon dictionary!
 
 
Saint Keggers
03:04 / 10.08.04
oh and resorting to 1830's prospector is damn impressive?
 
 
Saint Keggers
03:05 / 10.08.04
I once lost a fight because of my lack of klingon knowledge. Sad but true.
 
 
the cat's iao
03:05 / 10.08.04
So Stoatie, I recall a time not so long ago when you were saying you'd rather be at work than at home. I take it things have gotten a little better for you then?
 
 
Saint Keggers
03:06 / 10.08.04
or worse at work? (aint I the glasshalfemptyer)
 
 
Bastard Tweed
03:06 / 10.08.04
Well, at that juncture you have two available paths; elaborate polysyllaby or playfully facetious non-words.

I enjoy non-words.
 
 
Saint Keggers
03:08 / 10.08.04
I'd just like to point out how much I like the music of David Bowie.
 
 
the cat's iao
03:08 / 10.08.04
How did you loose a fight because of your lack of Klingon knowledge? Was it at the point in the conversation where you were supposed to pull out your knife and cut yourself with it, and you failed to realized that not doing so was a faux-pas that resulted in a beating?
 
 
STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK
03:11 / 10.08.04
Yeah, things have improved. And my a-d withdrawal has finished now, so it's all cool.

I know fuck all about Klingon, and I have to say I'm quite proud of that.
 
 
Saint Keggers
03:13 / 10.08.04
Oh no...I got into an argument with someone (who seem normal at the time) and it was just about to turn to fistycuffs when he screamed some gibberish at me. This caught me off guard and I asked him "what the hell was that?". His reply "Im swearing at you in Klingon!". Well that was it. Game over. Throw in the towel..I was doubled over with laughter. It was just so incredulous. I was flabbergasted... I had no comeback for that and to strike him then would just be wrong. And so I lost a fight due to the Klingon laguage.

-end story-

That's a truly beautiful story and I ask you, in the face of Klingon, how many people would have won? Certainly not me.
 
 
Bastard Tweed
03:16 / 10.08.04
I love the mental picture I get when I think of the expression on his face as he explicates his enraged paroxysm.
 
 
Bastard Tweed
03:17 / 10.08.04
Sorry, sorry.

I meant, "explain his enraged outburst".
 
 
Saint Keggers
03:17 / 10.08.04
ANNA!!! Hi Anna! How ya doing?
 
 
the cat's iao
03:21 / 10.08.04
Cool Stoatie. That's good to hear!

I feel that hitting someone who had to explain to yu that he was swearing at you in Klingon would be much like hitting a person with glassess..and maybe a pocket protector.

 
 
the cat's iao
03:24 / 10.08.04
Oh my boat's afloat, but Stoat, what's a "rain dog" and why are you one too?
 
 
Bastard Tweed
03:28 / 10.08.04
It's a reference to the album and title track "Rain Dogs" by Tom Waits.

Inside a broken clock
Splashing the wine with all the rain dogs
Taxi, we'd rather walk
Huddle a doorway with the rain dogs
For I am a rain dog too

Tom Waits explained the title along the lines of "You ever seen dogs walking on city streets after a heavy rain? The way they look so lost? Well, y'see, when it rains like that it washes off all the scent everywhere so the dogs don't know where they are any more. That's what it means to be a rain dog. Means your lost.
