My kid got Pirates for a gift, and it included a second disk with interviews and behind-the-scenes and stuff like that. They talked with Johnny D about his character and he said he used Keith Richards as a role model for Jack Sparrow. I don’t know enough about Keith Richards to see it, but I didn’t really get a gay vibe from the character. I got more arrogance. But what do I know - I considered setting up a coworker with a friend, and several years later, I found out he was gay. So it wouldn’t have worked out, would it?
So anyway, I finally have my official job confirmation. I should get my travel orders today. My last day at work is May 14. My first day on the new job is May 24. Life is good!
It’s funny Johnny Depp got brought up since he was over at the house last night. We were getting dinner readdy when the doorbell rang. It was Johnny Depp! We sat him down and got the rest of the dinner ready. When we were putting the food on the table Lucy (who is my dog) was scavenging under the counter and started to crunch something up. The Little Woman looks at me and asks “What is your dog doing?” So me being all helpful tell her “Eatin’ somethin’.” You know what happened then? She rolled her eyes at me! She asks me a question and I answer it to the best of my abilities and I get an eye roll for my troubles! Is that fair, I ask you?
I like the throwing empties at yuppie cars idea. My sister gave me several cds of what we’uns like to call southern redneck rock. If I listen to them in my truck I get a strong urge ride around drinking beer and throwing bottles. (I don’t do that though. Drinkin’ and drivin’ is bad) Hmmmm… that doesn’t sound very gay does it? Just call me a gay redneck.
I like this idea too. It’s like a way to riot in comfort. I must organize (does one organize a riot?) one soon.
I wanna hang with Bumbazine. And swampy. And Shibb and FairyChatMom. And all the rest of ya, frankly. But mostly Bumbazine, 'cause he’s like six kinds of fun. I don’t know if I could stomach welby, but he can’t stand me either, so I figure it’s a wash (I’ll admit that he’s on the side of Truth and Justice on this one. He’s witty and clever; I’m just mean.).
The Grand Hyatt is not the tackiest hotel in Manhattan. Trust me on this.
My F-150 is a deep maroon sort of red, not the fire-engine type. Do I lose points or something?
I had high hopes for Master and Commander but I keep hearing bad things and it’s just depressing. I don’t know if I want to see it any more. I read all of Forrester’s Hornblower novels when I was a kid, and I’ve gone through about half of Pope’s Ramage novels (I can’t find the other half). I love the genre and it kills me that one crappy movie might kill its mainstream potential. This sucks.
I don’t particularly care for Johnny Depp.
Uh, that’s all I got. I’ll try to do better when the fever breaks.
Huh. Johnny Depp showed up at your place, Rue? Did he bring his kids? Are you going to ship him to me or to Kallessa? Either one would be fine. Of course I’d prefer me. And if Viggo Mortenson ever randomly shows up, it would be great if you could ship him here. I’ve got a co-worker who’s in love with him.
w00t! Mr. Lissar got a removable plastic brace yesterday! It’s very neat.
I want cheesecake.
Acute attack of stupid. I’m sure there’s an over-the-counter remedy for that.
The “fever” comment was a reference to the insane activity level around here today, which I didn’t eplain properly because I’m insanely busy. I probably shouldn’t be posting, but this board keeps me tracking. Sorry about that.
I’m glad you’re not sick Ex. See, I’m just gettin’ over a cold and I have been sittin’ in front of my puter an awful lot this past week and a half. I was afraid I had leaked a cold out on the internet. The dreaded swamp virus!!! :eek:
No one knows what Lucy was eating. It was very crunchy, but she’s not saying just what it was and it wasn’t seen again.
It was just Johnny. He came over for dinner, then left. Something about something and something. He is a Big Star and very busy you know. Not the kind of person that will just sit still and let your wrap him in bubble wrap and stick him in a box and mail him off to friends of yours. You could whap him on the noggin with a pipe wrench and then he’d stay still for it, but when I went to the garage to retrieve said pipe wrench, John had already flown the coup.
Yeah, but see, if Rue used bubble wrap to mail Johnny Depp to ya you’d have bubble wrap to pop and Johnny Depp. What could be better?
[sub]Actually I ain’t a big fan of Johnny Depp but the bubble wrap would be fun.[/sub]
Have I been taking the “gratuitous insult” thing too far?
I could just knock it off, because it isn’t as much fun as it used to be for some reason. You and I don’t have any really good exchanges anymore, and I think it’s because of poking-eack-other-with-sticks thing. I guess it’s kind of a worn out joke.
I’m gonna’ miss “Tablecloth Boy” though. That was truly juvenile.
I dunno. When I get bored while being mailed I kinda like popping a few bubbles.
Ex being as I am a cheap ass gay redneck I haven’t seen the movie. I doubt that a gay Johnny Depp would appeal to me. He just ain’t my type. Angel Pants does have some (albeit very few) standards ya know.
OK, this MMP is starting to bog down. What can I inject to liven it up?
I could tell a joke, but I’m drawing a blank right now.
I could recite a poem, but I don’t feel particularly poetical.
I could toss out alleged insults that Ex and welby told me about each other, but that would be trolling and I’m so damned nice, I’d never stoop to that.
I could tell you more about my pending move, but it’s still in limbo, paperwork wise.
Ummmm, the weather here is lovely - sunny, breezy, mid-70s. That’s pretty dull.
I could tell you I’m posting nekkid, but it’s a lie, as far as you know.
Well, sometimes, when I am at home alone and all the blinds are closed and the garage door is closed, I do post nekkid. How’s that for lovening things up?
