Yes. Just you. You're all alone. And we know it, too... *creepy music, sound of something rattling in the other room even though no one should be around*

So come on, where the holy heck IS everybody?

I just had Chinese leftovers, man. Gumbitch is right, I am a studente shitsucker. Sigh.

I'm here, but I reckon I'm passing out at some point soon. Drunkeness and all that.

Oh you shifters got no stamina! Not like in my day. Ooh I could tell you some stories ...

Ok, um ... *gulp* ... once, there was a biiiig forest ...

...and in the middle of the forest there lived ... some trousers! Called ... Dave!
 
 
iamus
00:30 / 29.04.05
One day, Dave the trousers became restless.

"There must be something beyond this biiiig forest." thought Dave. "Day in, day out, being worn by the same smelly old troll, two sizes too big for my modest inside leg. Surely there must be more to life?"

Dave lay and pondered, hoping one day to pass beyond the world he knew, out from the grasp of the mean old troll, who wore him only when feeling somewhat excited. First, however, he would need to find a more sympathetic owner.

It was only when Dave had reached his lowest, after the mean old troll had subjected him to a particularly brutal session of zip-fly olympics, that things started to look up. A young elvin thing, spritely and limber with long, toned thighs did prance into Dave's glade.

While the troll (exhausted by his previous exertion) took a nap underneath a tree, the young Elf happened upon Dave, lying sodden and dejected upon a branch.

So affected by Dave's plight was the elf, that he immediately took it upon himself to cheer the trousers up, by cladding his own flanks in Dave's immaculately stitched and woven fibres.

And lo! Dave and the Elf did fit together as if made for one another! And his sense of self-worth, sunk so low from years of the troll's ill-fitting abuse, took a sharp upturn!

It was at this point Dave realised his true potential. No longer was he slave to a master who neither respected nor washed him! No longer was he at the beck and call of a savage monster, too concerned with its own dubious gratification to pay him heed! He was Dave the Magic Trousers! Loyal companion to Ignatius the Elf, whose name would be legend, ringing through the ages long after his former master's had been resigned to history, legend and finally fable.

Hey everybody!

I'm listening to all the Bernard Herrmann stuff I can find on my, ahem, Hard Drive (sorry, every time I use the word 'hard' I find it funny, puerile old soul that I am) and thinking about playing some Getaway so I can run people over in Baby London.

How you all doing?

I've just spent a merry couple of hours chasing a half dozen gerbils through a friends house. They finally managed to escape from the Metropolis-like assembly of cages and tubes. Remember those scenes from the end of the Great Escape? Yeah, well this was kinda like that. Without the shooting, Steve McQueen on a motorbike or Nazis, but apart from that it was fairly similar.

Hello.

Hello!

Wow, that's much better than watching telly. Hey, weather bloke just said that it'll be a warm weekend, and I predicted that yesterday, using only my rodenty intuition and Montgomery-esque twitchy nose.

Oh and I ran over lots of people near St Paul's Cathedral and King's Cross station. Yay me!

I'm imagining a gerbil in one of those little wheely-cars, cutting across fields and jumpin fences with the Nazis in hot pursuit...

Trust me, they don't need transportation to jump over obstacles or run away from pursuers. Was it better than telly? I do believe it was...at least, I got more laughs from the antics of humans vs rodents than I think I'd get from the tube. What's on these days on a Friday night? I'm a bit out of touch.

Hello all. Its early for a lateshift. Its friday night and my plans were cancelled. No plans for the Kegmeister.

Hey GKB and everyone!
The Juror- (Alec Baldwin, Demi Moore) is in my peripheral vision it's t.v good/bad/good and Alec makes a game psycho.

Hmm don't think I've seen that one. Grisham, I presume?
 
 
Shrug
21:03 / 29.04.05
Yes ,it although not sure, it seems like a Grisham permutation.

Dudes, I'm off to watch movies for a while. I'll be back later to see what's cooking.

Spaghetti, my prediction.

Alec Baldwin: because all the others wanna-be-Alec.

21:03 / 29.04.05
No plans? Well join the club...until the call came to assist with the gerbil capture I was idly spinning my wheels. 'The Juror' is Grisham, yes?

Buenas a todos,

Es tarde y estoy a punto de fumarme un porrito, la vida es bella!

Al parecer, se me ha roto el teclado. Solo puedo hablarles en espaƱol hoy. Sugerencias alguien?

Eu nao pode adjudar voce, mais eu penso que voce vai ter algumas problemas com espanol aqui.

No habla espagnol muey bieno. Ocho mas cervesa!

Are you in Spain, I was riproaringly drunk last month and thought it would be a good idea to speak in Spanish (is this one of those situations?)
Pero esta una problema porque mi espanola es una pequena mal.
Ok, muy muy mal. Despite having studied it for numerous years.

I took 15 weeks of spanish class most of which were spent in an Irish pub..which explains my spanish.

Tu parlez francais?

Je parle un petit pu francais. Trez mauvaise.

Are Irish pubs on the continent very twee with shamrock and leprauchan or more concerned with the true;hard drinking, fighting, swearing stereotype.
 
 
Saint Keggers
21:26 / 29.04.05
Bien sure que je parle francais. Je vie au Quebec. Alors je parle le francais toute-fuckez!
 
 
Saint Keggers
21:29 / 29.04.05
The one I got to is a real classy place. No fighting (although we have had a bullet throught the window) and the shamrocks only come out on the st-pats adverts. Also we do look extreeemly down on the whole 'green beer' shite.

I've pretty much forgotten all the French I ever learned in school. Though one time I got so drunk I woke up the next day speaking French to the cat.
