In which Res drags an unsuspecting member of the public to the boards...

I’ve met him.

He’s nice-looking, smart, AND funny.

Plus he tells the most outlandish secrets about Res! Adam, really, I’m ASHAMED of you.

I gave TalkingHead a pen. Now he is on my good side.

TalkingHead, my husband is eager to talk to you about forensic animation. He also asked if you play poker.

Whoops; I meant I am on his good side.

I gave her my heart, and she gave me a pen.

Egads! Not another Michigander and lawyer on the boards!

Will the madness never end?
Welcome **Talking Head ** anyone who can have the words Gerbil and Thermal Detonator in the same paragraph is going to work out just fine here in Doperville.

I knew you’d remember those weapons, ems. And thanks for your congratulations on my 2000 posts. Last night, Res thought I was still under 2K, so I had to convince him to look at my post count. Then he wanted me to have a beer, but that’s another story.

Hmm. I really must ask TalkingHead about these outlandish secrets Adam has… :wink: That is, right after I ask him about Carrot Top. According to Res, TalkingHead knows mosre about Carrot Top than he does. I’m willing to believe that.

Yes! I must thank Cranky here in a public forum for arming me with enemy implements. I shall don this new pen with pride!

I do play poker, but not well unless I’m tired – otherwise I can’t hold a poker face. Tell him that he does the cool part with the auto animations !!!

I certainly enjoyed meeting everyone last night – I was especially glad that the nobody stole our clothes from the pile while we limboed our front.


Corrupt me? hehehe… The sounds like potentially enjoyable process… depends on where we start.


Now, Shirley, I’m not a lawyer, yet! [read: there’s still hope!] hehehe

I am at the dangerous stage of knowing enough to sound officious, but not enough to stay out of trouble.


F_X CONGRATS ON 2000 posts!

Well, see…TalkingHead tells me that last night didn’t degenerate into the usual orgy, bloodlust and LOTR discussion forum. Hmmmm…I’m almost not disappointed that I wasn’t there.

BTW, Cranky, I finally got around to reading Lying Awake. Nice work…I thought the ending was a little anticlimactic, but the bulk of the story was a nice in-depth look at the human person. Do you need this copy back?

I still have possession of Flami’s tongue. Does anyone want it?

TalkingHead, thanks. Since I was so inspired by the conversation we were having yesterday about food and Pho noodles, I actually had some Pho noodels for lunch today. (hey, I hadn’t had it for some time, either) Did you know they put tripe, brisket, beef, flank, and all this other stuff in it? Very good stuff.

Res, like I told you: I am the only one with possession of my tongue on a pernament basis. You only think I allow you so much access to it on a regular basis… :wink: Actually, that might be true, but remember that after all our conversations, possession of my tongue defaults to me as the original owner.

DAY 4. <mumbling to self> OK, it’s my own welcome thread and next post is #20… hmmm … I should post it here. nobody will notice and I can begin to look like I’m a real poster and not one of these new posters who is posting for the sake of numbers or anything… I wonder if I should start a thread next for the sake of drawing attention to myself. hmmm… what should I type in here … this quality/quantity thing is tuff.</mumbling to self>

I’ve been here for four days and already met people, drank beer with them, and been called a nice guy (see the “Why can’t I like the nice, stable ones dammit” thread). There are promises of an olive oil wrestling match and a cake jump.

Tomorrow, I’ll build a shed in the clearing behind the pit, that way I can avoid the hamsters on there noon-time run and hide in there for a while. I ran out of port wine in the decanter, and I can’t find the rest of the stash, but I think there is some hidden in the thread next to mine, so I can go over there and sneak some tomorrow, too.

<mumbling to self> those people are looking at me again. I wonder if they know what I’m thinking </mumbling to self>

GET DOWN OUT OF THOSE TREES AND DO SOMETHING!
THE END IS COMING, COAT YOURSELVES IN HOT BUTTER!

THERE’S A LOBSTER ON THE LOOSE!

<mumbling to self> there, I can think again in private. I must find the green key for the door in the closet – that’ll fix everything </mumbling to self>

Pho Noodles, I must find pho noodles.

TalkingHead you are a star and will fit in here reeeeaaal well:p

TalkingHead, you have indeed proved that you have the mettle and the requisite craziness to stay around here. I have enjoyed chatting with you, and know that you’ll make an excellent addition to these boards and this community.

Tell me how the Pho noodle expedition went! :slight_smile:

F_X

Well, see, I started the day and was going to make sure I got some pho noodles… all this talk of them had my mind set on pho noodles… so, I started out late, having slept in (staying up till 3 shouldn’t have made me sleep until 10 after all)… that’s when it happened…

all of the sudden, b4 I knew it, there was something to do…I had to make some coffee. So I did, and all in the valley rejoiced because the coffee was made. Then I put my contacts in and got cleaned up.

all of the sudden, b4 I knew it, I remembered I had to get my cell phone looked at because it’s eating battery life and not chargin right. So I called the customer service line, and after talking to them they said to take it to the store. So I resolved to take the phone into the store and get it replaced or a new battery or whatever.

See, the phone is only a little more than a month old – but last week, when I was out of town, it went nuts and turned on and off, and beeped a lot, and didn’t work right the next morning. So I talked the out-of-town store into replacing it – which they did, but only the guts – they gave me my same battery back…

So, now, after a week, I realize that this new phone is sucking the life out of batteries way too fast. In other words, the replacement seems to have problems, or the original problem was with my battery… Either way, it needs to be fixed.

Back to the pho noodles.

I realize at this point that I haven’t drank the coffee that I made earlier. (see, I really needed that cup of coffee I think)

So, I pour a cup of coffee and all of the sudden I realize I need to call and harass somebody who told me that there was a jazz festival downtown last night at 12:01 – having gone down there to discover that 12:01 was a reference to Noon, not Midnight. I called them and gave them the appropriate ribbing and roasting. They were laughing and wondered how many of the other people they told now thought they were an idiot, too.

I looked at that cup of coffee. Man it looked pretty good there on the needed to be cleaned counter.

All of the sudden, b4 I knew it, the phone rang again…
“What are you doing?”
“Looking at this cup of coffee”
“Oh… wanna go play frisbee golf”
“Yeah… I gotta go to the wireless store, though and make them replace my phone”
“Did you call about the jazz thing”
“Yeah, they feel like an idiot now”
“How long before you get here”
“about an hour”
“K-- cu then”

OK, get my stuff together… finally, take a sip of that coffee… oh man, that tastes good.

Go to the store, “come back on Monday when the technician is here and he can diagnose it”

I should have drank the other cup of coffee.

Disc golf was great – I found a brand new disc in the woods – I now own my first ever! hehehe It’s a nice disc, too, this particualr one sells for $25-$30!!!

Then, the three of us went to Dynasty Buffet and I ate rice noodles… the closest I could get – at least it’s noodles… hehehe

I skipped the stuffed squid, though.

The bottom line: I now own a disc golf disc, and I ate chinese, BUT I didn’t get pho noodles yet… shucks

Glenfiddich AND Chinese food!
My kinda man! Can I camp on your couch? Behind your couch?
I like hamsters… the thermal detonator tho… I dunno… bothers my allergies…
