Free rectal probe? Depends on who’s offering and what kinda “probe” is gonna be used.
Me.
Chainsaw.
[irrelevant] i had pie too last night! and it was apple! [/irrelevant]
I’ve met all sorts of aliens. Most of them were from Mexico or South America, but I knew a couple English aliens. I liked 'em fine, some of them better than pie, which, while on the top ten list, is not my favorite dessert.
I’ve never met any space aliens, though. That would be scary. That scene in the cornfield in Signs is like my nightmare. Thank god I saw that movie during the day, or I wouldn’t have been able to sleep alone that night. Course, I’m a big wuss. Even some of the X-Files scared me so badly I could barely sleep. That one in the Northwest with those forest creatures with the red eyes that could turn invisible? OMG, that terrified me.
[hijack] Rue, have you ever read Spider Robinson? [/hijack]
Wow! Three generations. The family that Dopes together, stays together. 
Oops. I think I should clear something up Spectre. Scylla is my Dope grandpa. Not blood-kin. It’s a call-back to a way-old MMP, where I figured Doping was a disease, like lycanthropy. So I first posted in one of Fenris’ threads. So he’s my Dope-dad (or sire). Fenris first posted to one of Scylla’s threads, so he, Scylla, is his, Fenris, dad who is my dad, all Dope-wise. It’s like that.
Yes I have read some Spider Robinson Winnie (And work on your snipping, by the way.) Some of his stuff. Not sure right off which ones. Have you read Lois McMasters Bujold?
The first X-Files I ever watched was the one where Scully and Mulder were up on this one mountain and they were being attacked by killer fireflies. That was pretty good.
No hijack is irrelevant Plankster. Not around here anyway.
Shuddup welby. That’s just gross.
Oh yeah, I forgot all about pervy Swampy. But at least he’s got a pool. So it’s worth being his friend just for that. The hot tub is just a pleasant bonus. (And take care of that heart of your young man!)
-Rue. (not really that old)
Oops. It’s supposed to be “And take care of that heart of yours young man!” I could just leave the typo, because who’s gonna notice. But then I figured someone would and I just want to avoid confusion.
I’m not sure you actually HAVE a young man currently Swampy. But you do have a pool and you can cook and your ticker isn’t completely bum yet. So there’s still hope for you.
-Rue. (chagrinned)
<stamps foot> I did not infer it. You said that they said they were from Ecuador Portugal Belgium and those are foreign countries so they would be foreign nationals and that means they owe political allegiance to another country or government and that means they’re aliens. And I never said they were space aliens, I just said I thought most people had more experience with pies than with aliens–I’ve always lived in small towns and have rarely met people from foreign lands and so I figured my experience was like many people’s. You, Rue, brought up rectal probes, which are more associated with space aliens than with foreign nationals, and Wintermute first mentioned not meeting any space aliens.
Just so we straight on this.
No man, young or otherwise for me right now. Course we could count Homebrew, but I haven’t met him yet. He’s my major league doper crush is all.
The pool is looking good! The dirt got spread all around the outside all nice and smooth like. Now I gotta get some sod for it. Or maybe I could just go sod Homebrew. I have fence posts up all around my back yard too. It’s raining like heck today so they can’t work on the fence. Maybe they can tomorrow, but old Tropical Depression Bob might still be hanging around dumping rain, so maybe not. Bob has got to leave by Friday tho. I wants to spend the 4th at my pool. Might even get nekkid out there if the fence is up. Reckon I could find a man, young or otherwise for that by Friday?
-Swampbear (mind still in the gutter)
I thought his name was Bill…the tropical depression, not your young stud.
Nary a Bill or a Bob in my general direction, and that makes me depressed.
So, I still don’t have it right? Is this better or worse? I’m just confused now. I’m so embarrassed; I am going to have to stop posting altogether. :o
Wintermute, don’t give up. You’ve got the “quote” feature down pat (get you minds out of the gutter, it’s a perfectly acceptable phrase). You just need to think more about what must be included in the quote to make your comment on it make sense. So, quote the whole thing, then delete out everything but the most germane sentence or sentences. For example, in the quote of mine that you used (and I know you didn’t want to cut anything because my writing is so marvelous), you could have just quoted the first two sentences in the second paragraph. Doing this will help keep the hamsters happy.
But, personally, I think Rue just wants to snipe at your snipping.
It sure is quiet around here without FCM, don’t you think? Wonder if she’s enjoying her vacation.
Yep, it’s Bill not Bob. The tropical depression/storm/annoying weather system still hanging around here. Well, what ever the heck its name is, it still needs to go away.
FairyChatMom is conjugating with FairyChatDad this week. I bet she hasn’t given us a thought.
Ah ha ha! You did infer! I said they said they were from (among other places) Belgium. I never said right out where they were from. Maybe they were telling the truth, maybe they were lying. You made an assumption from the statements given. Tra-la! Inference.
Don’t worry Winnie. It’s all like Kallessa (lovely name by the way, the way it just rolls off the tongue “Kallllessssahhh”) said. I was just needlessly sniping at you. People think of me like all “ha ha, that Rue, he’s so funny!” when actually in my heart of hearts I’m really a sour old snarky bastard. It’s almost my Super Power.
My real Super Power though is my complete and utter lack of direction sense yet exuding a calming field over the other poor souls who are lost with me.
-Rue. (super powered)
Curses! Tripped up by logic again!
Logic? in a MMP? Brain overloading… does not compute…
pop
I still need a curse!
A really, really good one. Like one that maybe makes these flooring people go up in a puff of green smoke. Or blue. Or yellow even, I’m not that picky.
