I’m hoping that this Sam-canaba-propyl person is an aging woman who used to play distraught female roles in 1940s movies.

If not, this is the funniest fucking thing I have seen in weeks.

I can categorically state that **UncleBeer** has not been whumping any **Bunnies**. At least not this one. Not that I’m aware of. Although, I have been having these rather…_strange_ dreams the past week.

What ArdenRanger is referring to is something that used to be there and now it’s not. And it’s better that way.

No, I think I need sleep.

Or rather, needed sleep. And still need sleep.

However, s/he/it’s still a fuckwit.

Damn, **Tuba** , you’re _fast_!

But now I have to ask because I don’t want to accidently fuck up: I shoulda just ignored it, shouldn’t I?

Thanks for the kudos, I’m blushing here.

And don’t worry about it, Arden. Ain’t no big. Let’s just not get into this habit, okay?

Damn **UncleBeer** , I can’t say I hardly blame the tyke. I mean, with language like “calumny”, “denigrating”, “libeled”, “acronyms”, “preposterous”, and “lick”, I can see how someone could become so aggitated.

Sorry but I wanted to see myself between an UncleBeer snicker and a Coldfire snort. Carry on.

Are you saying Coldfire snorts cocaine?  
That’s hardly justified, or do you know something we don’t?

This is my Official New Favorite Word.

Sam, there are those who go to school to gain wit and only get halfway.

Sam, I don’t think you’re quite there yet. And what’s worse is I think the situation might be terminal.

No, I’m saying I want UncleBeer to eat a snickers bar off my \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ and Coldy to snort kool-ade (unmixed) from between my \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ . You got a problem with that ? :rolleyes: (Unc and Coldy may fill in the blanks as they wish)

I am going to spend the evening with my Betty Crocker Cookies and Candies Cookbook (Vol. 2), some back issues of Hustler, and a swingin’ 70’s Ron-Jeremy-ish soundtrack. I will be in the kitchen trying to work out the recipe for Fuckdrops.

If I succeed, I will let you know - although I am afraid some overly interesting cookie cutters will be needed.

I am also going to start referring to my SO as “my little Fuckdrop”.

Thanks, **Nocturne**.
