Mr. B, this thread is pretty much a big hijak, its almost a room. A public room. With hecklers. Le Sang…um…I will get to studying…after I…um…play through as the red people. 'Sides _my_ next final is two hours after _your_ next final. ---

Guin, Yes it did. My ability to sleep is bad these days. Le Sang, we still on for Calc practice tonight? Mrblue! you don’t need to change your name. You are you. Its lovely. See you in a weekish! (I think, I still don’t know when my mom is taking me to Chicago.) DRY, no, I’m the chior virgin. I didn’t even think you could sing. Okay people…off to crack a web page for engineering. ---

> [@](#): > > See you in a weekish! (I think, I still don’t know when my mom is taking me to Chicago.) If that Friday doesn’t work, I’m available Saturday and much of the following week, though family obligations may pop up and I was thinking about skiing with Sue. I’ve got a couple vacation days to use up before the end of the year, so I might be available for a whole day of just hanging out if you’d like–[tempting]I can bring along a few MST3K tapes… Or you could come up to my place and avoid the parents…[/tempting] ---

mrblue, stop trying to tempt me with tapes. Its not nice. Narile, I _was_ a chior virgin of the female variety…in high school. Le Sang…um 4ish? What are you up to tomorrow? (my test is not until 6pm. I could study on my own tonight and bring the confusing stuff to you tomorrow.) ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Medea’s Child \* > **DRY, no, I’m the chior virgin. I didn’t even think you could sing.** “Virgin”, huh? Interesting. As to my singing ability: Don’t you have any familiarity with instruments? Blow my instrument in the right places, and you’ll get beautiful music out of me! 😃 But you weren’t the “chior” anything. [sub]Geez, how could you spell it wrong. I gave you the correct spelling above! All you had to do was quote me. What is it with my favorites? First, \*\*Medea’s Child \*\* above, and then, in her Livejournal, **Michi** writes about “vaggie sushi” (which works on _so_ many levels). :eek: [/sub] Look, I may be pathetic, but at least I can spell fela…fellae…felac…“blowjob”! Anyway, call me what you will, just CALL ME. 🙂 **Internet Legend** –Glad to be of help. How ya’ doin? 😉 **Guinastasia** –don’t give her any ideas. Though I think that the supreme sacrifice would start with those who consider her some sort of deity. As highly as I think of her, I don’t. She has to learn how to spell first. [sub]Although if she plays my instrument well enough, I may grant an exception.[/sub] [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-phone-call-to-dry-or-hijacking-the-board/44856.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-phone-call-to-dry-or-hijacking-the-board/44856.md?page=3)
