Not big on separating? If you don’t practice you’ll have all sorts of difficulties in life, **Rue**. You’ve got to separate the whites from the colors for laundry, the yolk from the egg white in some recipies, the apples from the oranges, the good from the bad, the list is endless. You’d better start practicing, it’s easy. Just say “ **Swampy** , go sit in the corner!” in a commanding Parent Voice. Give it a try. ---

I feel I’ve become one of the Rue Girls™ … Saturday nights at 8:00 on ABC. 😛 And if I might get sappy for the moment, let me say I appreciate these here compliments for which I have so slavishly trolled. \ They’ve picked me up when I, well, have _needed_ picking up. (In the NICE sense of the word. Sheesh. Some people.) -Ellen. (using coding) 🆒 ---

You’ve always been a Rue Girl™ **Babycakes Cherry**. I was just being all subtle to keep people guessing. They’d talk you know. And I was hoping we’d get on cable, so we could, you know, explore some _adult themes_ every week. _wink, wink_ Maybe next season. “Separate yolks from the whites”? What are you smoking **welby**? (Oh that’s right. You quit. So how are things going in that camp?) That’s just code for “Go to the danged bakery and purchase it.” Like I have time to separate an egg. I barely have time to take 'em out of the shells. -Rue. (the Speedy Chef) ---

Echoing **Ellen** , thanks for the compliments. Now someone should pop in and chew us out for being all sentimental and stuff. I noticed that no real attention has been paid to me cool Indian comfy clothes. This is a problem. The best thing about them is that although they’re red, they don’t leak dye at all when you wash them! So, continuing the “separating” theme- you don’t have to put them with the darks when you was them! Look, I don’t have much to be excited about today. Don’t pick on me. 😃 ---

How did you ever do that **Lissla**? My respect dwindles. **Rue** I can understand not separating the egg whites, but do you go around wearing pink undies because you don’t separate the laundry? Mmmmm. **Rue.** Pink Undies. Ladies, stop drooling, he’s a married man after all. Perverts. ---

It was just a little bitty contract I took out on **FairyChatMom**. Just a dollar’s worth. Just enough to get her tshirt wet. I’m bringing pimento cheese to the North Florida dopefest. That should make up for it. Please don’t make me sit in the corner. I’ll be good! [sub]hehhehheh… that “I’ll be good” thing always gets to em…hehhehheh.[/sub] Why is **welby** saying “mmmmm” about **Rue** in pink undies? Looks like there’s some issues going on here. - swampbear (the perfect little angel pants bear) ---

My pink underpants make me feel pritty! And I’m secure enough in my masculinity to get away with it too. So there. -Rue. (really secure) P.S. **Swampy** , go sit in the corner just for trying to be all manipulating. ---

Hmph. I’ve lost **welby’s** respect. I think I’ll sulk. As if you’ve never made a really weird double-post yourself, buster! Well, maybe you haven’t. _sulk_ I think I’ll go drown my sorrows in lots and lots of tea. ---

Don’t worry, we’ve found **welby** ’s respect. It’s over in the corner (not the one **Swampy** is sitting in, the other one), under a pile of **Rue** ’s pink underwear and the red “I Dream of **Lissla** ” outfit. I hope this is the start of another beautiful page ---

Evidently it’s over, and I pretty much missed the whole thing. Dang, there was so much goodness to play with, but I missed my opportunity. Seriously, **Angel Pants** meets **FairyChatMom**? How could I have not run with this until Jim Fixx got exhausted and dropped dead? **Rue** has pink underpants? Comedy Gold! **welby**? I can always make fun of **welby**. I’ll leave the innuendo alone, except to say that if **Rue** claims **Lissla** , I get **Wintermute**. And since he also (sorta’) claimed **Elle** n, I get **Kn\*ckers** too. Because I said. ---

Hey, uh **Ex** old pal, don’t open that can of make-fun worms unless you’re ready to fish. **Shibb** , thanks for finding my respect. I’ve been looking all over the place for it. You can have it back **Lissla**. Be a little more careful this time around, eh? Has anyone seen my **Lissla** pictures anywhere? ---

Consider the can opened and the worms released. Do your worst, you dog, and may God take the hindmost, or something. I still claim **Wintermute** and **Kn** (hot babe) **ckers**. They’re isn’t anything you can do about it either, you crawling, whining cur. I challenge you to meet me on the field of honor. Your death, while regrettable, will demonstrate once and for all to proper society that I am your moral and ethical superior. And that I am also a better shot. In addition, I have the pictures. They are saved on my HD, and backed up on floppy. If I have the time tomorrow, I will burn them on a CD with some other stuff. Beg. ---

Speaking of worms, I can’t beleive I’m actually posting a response to that infected sphincter you call a post. As for **Wintermute** , who is more beautiful than a sunrise, and **Kn(sexier than a Porsche)ckers** I think it’s up to the ladies to decide who “claims” them. For the record, ladies, I’m not nearly as Neanderthal as poor **Exgineer**. His kind of attitude is what comes of from having your most serious, dedicated and loving relationship with a jar of Vaseline. While I’m at it, I’ll try and get the gorgeous **Lissla** in my camp by stating that I didn’t actually have any pictures of her, I was just trying to flush out the perverted culprit who’s been stalking her. Looks like we’ve found our man. If you want to refer to **Exgineer** as a “man,” that is. You were warned, pal. 😃 ---

Nyah, nyah. Hey, where’s our new **Rue** thread? It’s Monday! Mr. Lissar just got back from jujitsu, **Exgineer**. Would you like to got out for coffee with him or something? He’d be interested in meeting you… and he just got some new weapons… 😃 ---

I think that there will be a Monday Morning thread tomorrow. It’s sort of like garbage collection, it always comes, regardless of holidays, just sometimes the actual dates get moved around.
