Never say never to lateshift

23:13 / 07.03.05

The old one having surpassed the magickally appointed length, 'tis time to bring a new Late Shift to the world.
So here it is.
How's everyone? I've not 'lithed much in the last few days...

23:16 / 07.03.05

Sup baby.

23:31 / 07.03.05

I'm good... at work (of course)...

23:36 / 07.03.05

(That was two separate statements, btw... not meaning to imply that I'm "good at work". I'm good at sleeping and going to the pub. And some video games.)

23:39 / 07.03.05

I'm good at poking people in the head. As long as they're either not very tall or are sitting down.

23:45 / 07.03.05

Speaking of people who aren't very tall, I went to a goth club the other night where there was a tiny bouncer. (Either that or they've just started looking younger... I swear he can't have been out of school). We were trying to come up with ways to catch him so we could keep him in a cardboard box with some lettuce and straw.

23:49 / 07.03.05

I'd think that'd be an advantage. What said bouncer lacks in reach, he could make up for in proximity for crotch punchies.

alas

23:56 / 07.03.05

I've now got that old Elton John song stuck in my head, "Hold me closer, tiny bouncer...."

Bouncer in the Straw...

All very curious; in my mind, when you described trying to catch him, the bouncer became--before my very mind's eye--a little white rabbit in the middle of a goth club. Curiouser and curiouser, in fact...

23:59 / 07.03.05

Yes, we were going to lure him with lettuce. Don't get me wrong, we'd have treated him nice- there'd have been holes in the box and stuff...

"bouncer in the straw" brought images of the dog from Neighbours off on a farm holiday to mind...

00:02 / 08.03.05

NO! No holes! He'll escape!

Hello everyone! I'm really sleepy at work and I've been watching Black Books a lot recently, so am thinking about nipping out for a bottle of wine and being rude to passers-by.

00:03 / 08.03.05

D'you remember that episode where Bouncer had his own dream sequence? That was fucked up.

alas

00:03 / 08.03.05

Well, you say that, but then who would actually wind up taking care of this pet bouncer? Hmmm? Me, that's who. I'm sick and tired of you kids with your "we'll take care of him! we promise" line. Enough, already!

Oh, uh, wait. I just remembered: I'm not your mother. Nevermind...

00:07 / 08.03.05

It's just as well (that you aren't my mother)- if you were, I'd have been very remiss in not sending you a Mother's Day card on Sunday...

00:11 / 08.03.05

Last week I got the best birthday present ever - a Marvel Super Heroes chess set!

00:15 / 08.03.05

Wicked! Chess rules.

Whoah! I'm currently listening to (for the first time) Cradle of Filth covering Cliff Richard's "Devil Woman". It's ace.

00:19 / 08.03.05

Well, the dark satanic subtext was already present, I suppose it's a well-chosen cover.

00:21 / 08.03.05

Wow! I just found out that left-handedness is basically the result of minor brain damage before or during childbirth. I can now use that as an excuse whenever I act like a total dunce, which is quite often.

00:23 / 08.03.05

You're so sinister.

00:25 / 08.03.05

Ooh, I can use it to mock the left-handed.

01:05 / 08.03.05

MOCK THEM!!!

Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!

01:33 / 08.03.05

I am not even saying hello, I am slamming the door on my way to bed because you DARE MOCK ME AND MY SPECIAL HAND.

01:57 / 08.03.05

Well he "left" in an awful hurry, didn't he, readers?

...I'll get me coat.

Solitaire Rose as Tom Servo

02:19 / 08.03.05

Evenin' squire.

03:32 / 08.03.05

It's finally late enough here in Minnesota that I'm too blurry eyed to play video games anymore.

What have I missed lately by actually going to work and such?

Solitaire Rose as Tom Servo

03:34 / 08.03.05

Nuttin' much.

03:37 / 08.03.05

That's good. I think I'd like it if Barbelith only came alive when I'm around, and the rest of the time, the discussions focus on when I am coming back.

Even though I know most people just confuse me with Bear.

04:03 / 08.03.05

Don't think I've ever confused you with Bear...

04:26 / 08.03.05

I must be off... goodnight.

alas

20:29 / 08.03.05

is it too early to late shift? but I wanted to tell Stoatie that Mothers Day in the U.S. is in MAY so there's plenty of time to send me a card...

Oh all right. I'll wait. But when it's late enough, can someone come on and play with me?

20:31 / 08.03.05

NEVER!

Detroit. 5:30. Shifted.

20:36 / 08.03.05

Hello Chad! Hello alas!

Ooh, I wonder when Solitaire Rose is coming back ... ze's so lovely and cuddly and sexy and interesting.

really? i long for the daze of lustful curiosity.
