Relaxing, Benny? I don't believe you. I bet you're running about like a dog with two tails, dusting and tidying and fluffing up your cushions.

And the horrors of English water have to be tasted to be believed, Keggers. You should see what the London water does to the inside of a kettle. That can't be good for your own plumbing. Maybe I should chew a few of those descaling tablets.

I did my mad clean up the other day, plus the house cleaner was here earlier, so I can just about afford to relax (if staying up all night to watch the American Airlines tracker can be called relaxing!). I hate when there is just enough water in the kettle, and you have to tip it over, I'm always convinced that those nasty scaly bits are going to fall into my nice cup of tea.

What's the story about, Papers?
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy

I've got two on the go at the moment. I've got one about my father in 1974, based on one of his old drinking stories, at the stampede. This one's been drafted a couple times and I'm waiting on some friends' commentaries on it before I do another rewrite. I tried to structure it around an old Lawrence Ferlinghetti poem - my dad's favourite poet - but I'm not sure how successful it was.

The other one's about a dinner party where one person doesn't show up, and the resulting chaos. We'll see with this one, it returns to some older stylistic tics but I'm trying to refine my style now that I've graduated from the creative writing program; figure out what I learned that I want to keep and what needs to be adjusted. It's mostly a dialogue/character piece and I'll see how it goes. In the midst of the first draft.

It's always late somewhere; early in others, though. On occasion I've been chanced to notice it was right on time.

So that's it? Everyone's gone?

"What's the big deal about the date, Stoaties?"

Fuckin' Greg Evigan's sodding birthday's on the 14th, is why.

As long as you stay away from fuzzy black and white television sets you should be alright.

You were'nt explicit about wanting something in them everytime. Sheesh!

Aww, don't sweat it, Stoatie. I missed my sister's 40th b-day, and it was just yesterday! To my credit, I did remember to call her, but she's out of town right now. I'm going to wish her a happy belated when she gets back from her vacation (I'm also gonna give her presents to her when she comes down to visit at Xmas). Her hubby is treating her to a week long vacation in the Caribbean sun as a fabulous 40th birthday present.

But it's Greg Evigan!!!

I'll never be able to show my face on the fan club cruise now...

00:06 / 19.10.05
Just tell everyone that the card and gift you sent Greg must have been lost in the post as its obvious the YOU would NEVER forget Mr.Evigans birthday. Anyone who thingks otherwise obviously has no idea who you are and therefore can't really be a Greg Evigan fan and must b thrown overboard!

I think you may have saved my standing among the noble community of... whatever you call us Greg Evigan fans, Keggers.

You KNOW what goes in the envelopes, Keggers. You KNOW.

Don't make me...refresh your memory.

yes but where will I get 75 pound of creamcheese and the complete White Stripes discography as sung by Bea Arthur?

I still haven't seen Firefly. This makes me double plus not happy
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
00:35 / 19.10.05
You must do this now.

I am eating chocolate chips, which I recently heard used as a metaphor for casual sex by my roommate, who maintains that "eating the chips in cookies is better."
 
 
Saint Keggers
00:42 / 19.10.05
Well I'd love to do that now, but it just started 20 minutes ago, so no Firefly for me tonight.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy

Eat chocolate instead.

In fact, devour chocolate, consuming its cocoa soul all at once--
 
 
Saint Keggers
00:56 / 19.10.05
I wish I had chocolate now. It would make the perfect addition to the tartiness of the currant wine I'm drinking.


Why is it that people watching hockey dont realize that the players on tv cant hear you no matter how loud you scream, but the neighbours 4 blocks down can?
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
01:09 / 19.10.05
Happily, I live in a house without TV, so I don't need to listen to my roommate go on about hockey. She heads up to her campus to watch it at the shit pub there and she can scream all she wants.

That and I live in an invisible soundproof house or something. I've mostly been immune to the new hockey season.
