NCB, what have you been munching throughout both of these threads? Actually, I don’t really care. I just realized that all of my posts have been in the other thread and I didn’t want this one to feel left out. Whatever that is, pass some on over here. ---

I have some crackers, pretzels, chocolate raisins, and tortilla chips. But I still want what NCB has! ---

Mmmmmmmmmmm. Tortilla chips and guac. For all of my childhood, I avoided guacamole because it looks… well let’s face it, it looks kind of nasty. Than as my tastes matured, I started trying more things. I still have not quite forgiven myself for depriving me of guacamole for all those years. As for the pieces of **carnivorousplant** - I’ll pass. I mean, I’m sure he’s cute and all, but I don’t think my wife would understand. ---

Semicolons are the bane of my existance. I also crumbled up just the littlest bit of meat into them too. I’m too much of a carnivore to give it up completely. I’m still dying of hunger though. I have a headache. ---

Blah. Another reply that I didn’t check the next page before doing whatever. Yeah, I’m tired… just woke up from a nap and I feel like what I imagine **NCB** must. All stupid, slow, and stuff. Alliteration! ---

Somewhat back on topic…I may be repeating someone…but the Reed/alien woman scene was chock full of Freudian metaphors… Alien women notes the difference between their weapons systems, but Reed is relieved to find that their pistols are charged in the same way. Reed offers to show her his cannon, which, she comments, is pretty “high-yield”. There is little room in the orifice because the cannon is quite large Tee-hee hee ---

Yeah, a fine suite of euphemisms and double entendres from the writers, there. I can imagine them sitting around giggling, while they worked on the script. “‘I’d like to see your tactical array!’ Get it? _Tactical array_! Nudge, nudge, knowwhatimean?” Bunch of dorks. Reminds me of… me. Damn. Kn(is that a phaser-cutting phaser in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?)ckers ---

Geeks in love, two minds that oscillate as one, etc. BTW, NoCLue, that was my cousin, Deadly Nightshade. Not to worry, your insurance will probably pay for it. 🙂 ---

Insurance Authorization Representative: “What? You accidentally ingested Deadly Nightshade, resulting in tachcardia, halluciantions, seizure and confusion? You were transported by ambulance to the emergency room, where you were treated with activated charcoal, intravenous saline, oxygen, and benzodiazepine?” **NCB** : Yup. IAR: We’re denying your claim. **NCB** : Why?! IAR: We have determined this was an entirely cosmetic procedure, which is not covered under your insurance. **NCB** [devouring insurance rep]: Munch, munch, munch. ---

You missed the best one (IMHO). Diet Canada Dry ginger ale. Unless you’re trying to avoid aspartame, in which case I’d suggest Diet RC (made with Splenda). But you do get caffeine in that one, I think. ---

I’ve just been drinking water only. After posting that, I had a Diet Cherry 7-Up that was in my room though. I was too lazy to go to the kitchen and get some water. In other news, I found out rice isn’t a food I should eat large amounts of if I’m trying to lose weight. I’ve been shooting myself in the foot for the past week! :mad: ---
