ALL NEW ASTOUNDING ULTIMATE LATESHIFT!!!

Why is Valentine's candy such crap, and Easter candy so damn good?

03:09 / 19.04.05

Perhaps it's the flirtatious/firtility split.

03:12 / 19.04.05

I missed out on all the sweets at Easter. Not even an egg. Bah humbug.

03:17 / 19.04.05

Yeah... but Christmas rules as far as candy goes.
Candy Canes: Candy you hang on a tree! How great is that... a tree with candy on it!!
Egg Nog: While not technically candy, when the right amount of booze is added Everything is at Candy Happy Levels

03:18 / 19.04.05

I love eggnog. Eggnog is super.

03:23 / 19.04.05

Howdily doodily, sweet-tooth'd late shifters!

I see the visions of sugarplums are dancing in a few headz.

Is that what those are? I thought I was having another California Raisins LSD flashback again!

03:25 / 19.04.05

Ah, yes, the California Raisins. Execrable traitors to their own kind.

03:29 / 19.04.05

They even got a Xmas special for their efforts. Soulless fucks. Bran's too good for them!

03:31 / 19.04.05

Years ago, when a friend of mine was first getting into both acid and magick, he claimed he was receiving visitations from a being which he sometimes called "Claptar" and sometimes "Eggnog". Apparently it was like a cross between a dog and an extractor fan.

Strange lad, he is.

03:33 / 19.04.05

Although he certainly seems to be having a lot more fun than the rest of us.

03:34 / 19.04.05

Do they still talk?

[stops himself from calculating the gematria of "claptar" and "eggnog"]

03:38 / 19.04.05

I don't know... suppose I should ask him, really.
Unsurprisingly, he was quite freaked out by the experience(s), as far as I remember.

03:43 / 19.04.05

Well, I hope he's okay.

Y'know, when you initially mentioned acid and magick, I thought sure you were going to say you knew some dude who invoked the California Raisins. And I was going to sudder.

03:46 / 19.04.05

Sometimes this place is just stream of conciousness at its absolute best.

Well, goodnight all.

03:46 / 19.04.05

Oh, he's fine. He's always been a bit nuts, though. I've known him since school, and he's definitely the person I know MOST LIKELY to meet Claptar/Eggnog.

03:46 / 19.04.05

Or shudder. Either/or.

03:55 / 19.04.05

Ah, the crazy friends. Where are they now? I knew a guy who dropped acid quite frequently AT school. I don't know how he did it. This same loony claimed he once got so high he saw a parade of Smurfs come out of his wall.

'Night Czernobog

[stops himself from calculating the gematria of "claptar" and "eggnog"]

Phew! Glad I wasn't the only one thinking it.

04:10 / 19.04.05

G'night Barbelith, wherever you are.

I'm with you in Rockland
where we are great writers on the same dreadful typewriter

- Allen Ginsburg 'Howl'

04:30 / 19.04.05

Heavens. Dropping like flies.

04:35 / 19.04.05

Haven't done acid in ages myself. But I did used to pretty much live on the stuff in my younger days.

Anyway... probably time to bugger off out of this office- looks like I'm gonna be spending enough time here this week without adding to it...

see you lovely people later!

04:39 / 19.04.05

And again.

Papess

07:05 / 19.04.05

Still late for me. I am still up, as I just got home not too long ago.

19:55 / 19.04.05

(enters the Lateshift and sits down uncharacteristically quietly, massaging sore neck and foot)

Hello everyone!

23:44 / 19.04.05

(does funny comedy policeman bendy knees thing)

Evenin' all.

(straightens up, wincing. Vows not to do funny comedy policeman bendy knees thing EVER again.)

23:58 / 19.04.05

Cheers Stoatie, nice to know I'm not the only one who's injured.

Is that what our German cousins call 'schadenfreude'?

hello all!

Hello Nina! Please tell us you're not incapacitated in some way - we may need someone to fetch the tea.

00:08 / 20.04.05

It's ok, I've already made it. It's just there, on the sideboard.

00:14 / 20.04.05

Ah... tea.

I'm in WAY better a mood than last night- looks like my "talking to head of personnel and starting an argument between her and my boss" gambit paid off, and I've been given Friday night off to go to the funeral after all.

How's everyone else?

Saint Keggers

00:16 / 20.04.05

Hello all you wonderful peoples! Its 9:13pm here. The weather is wonderful. I just finished watching Ep.3. (of Dr.Who, not Star Wars).

00:21 / 20.04.05

That was my favourite episode so far, I reckon.
