Rue obviously has issues with his sexuality. Martha Stewart represents his need for a strong woman to spank him. The “exclamation point” obviously was a sign that he needs to assert himself more with the men in his life because he has allowed himself to be seen as a little strange. The canoe paddle represents a necktie or cigar. The watch battery is a sign that Rue need to chase bunnies with drums.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
Aw, c’mon! How pitiful is it that I demand pity points? I need pity points!! 
Frued?

Dammit, I can’t come up with anything for this. I got nothin’!
I’m too stupid to be a smart ass today.

The thought of Rue and Marti scared me so much I couldn’t type right. I am sure we all will have nightmares tonight of the two of them “together” that will give us the heebie jeebies for a week.
Well, two points for that …
Why can pity points come “out of the blue” but not “out of the pink” or even “out of the raw sienna”? Or they can and it’s just not reported in the mainstream media? I’d like my pity points “out of the red orange”. Thank you.
Heh. Swampy has a “staff”. Is it all big? With a crook at the end? Oh wait, that’s a shepherd thing, the staff with a crook at the end. It’s called a “shepherd’s crook” oddly enough. What are the odds?
And sometimes -Rue. is just (Rue)
Or something like that.
I pity the fool . . .
Not really. The fool is often a complex and compelling character. Used correctly, the fool can act as a catalyst, a concealment, comic relief, a commentator, contrarian, or just a common stooge. I believe that Mr. T overstated the pitifulness of the fool, and by doing so, became a fool himself. The question is therefore whether this was a planned arc for the character’s development, or if it was just happenstance? Which leads, of course, not just to the question of Mr. T’s preparation of the character and his motivation in performing the role, but also questions on the direction he received and the interplay between the characters, and the actors who portrayed them.
Or maybe I’m just channelling James Lipton on a really bad day.
And the fool gets some sharp threads. Don’t forget the sharp threads Kalley. The reds and yellows, the stick with the head on it. It’s always nice to have a stick with a head on it, be ye a fool or an Mongol invader. Nothing says “success” like a stick with a head on it. Except a trained parrot. They could really say “success!” but think of the crackers.
And the bells on a Fool Suit. A suit with bells. Why don’t more people wear suits with bells? Beats wearing a tie any day. But then, just about anything beats wearing a tie. If I had to wear a tie everyday, I’d opt for the bow tie. But I’m working in a more casual environment, so I don’t have to wear a tie. I do have one. Somewhere. But I don’t have to wear it.
All in all it’s better to be a fool than an idiot. Everyone in the village might know you, but just try to get a date when your the idiot.
Didn’t Jame Lipton invent tea? That was him, right?
-Rue. (fancying a spot of tea)
Great MMP, Ruebabe.
Strangely aroused, Gazelle
“Inside the Actors Studio” is one of my favorites. But I don’t know much about James Lipton. How did he come to be who he is?
But I’m pretty sure it wasn’t the invention of tea, Rue.
The wonders of the internet…now I know about James Lipton!

I realize I haven’t posted in a while (things have been very busy here at work), and granted, I am not a prolific poster, but I find it hard to believe I have reverted to killing threads as in my newbie(er) days!
Alas!!!
Don’t blame yourself… blame Martha… she’s the 8 ton elephant in this thread!
Now I’m stuck on an image of Martha Stewart and James Lipton. And it’s not a good image.
And for some reason, Robin Williams keeps popping up in the background.
With bells on. All of 'em got bells.
She shaves it into an exclaimation point now? That’s weird… used to be an asterix, which I thought was much better than the hirsuit quotation marks she used to have around her hoo-ha. Huh.
[sub]Say that 10 times fast: “Hoo-ha. Huh.” It’s not that hard, but it makes people around you begin to wonder… and that’s generally a good thing. Unless they stop wondering and take action. That could be bad.[/sub]
I’ve always liked question marks much better than exclamation marks. Just in general, I mean, not as way to shape your “down there” hair (to use Rue’s elegant phrase). An asterix is always cool, I thought of getting an asterix tattoo in honor of Roger Maris, but figured I’d have too much explaining to do.
I’ve completely lost track of the pity points. More’s the pity, that.
You know? I thought there would be more traffic in a thread with “Martha Stewart” and “Canadian Nickels” in the title. But maybe people just thought it was another misleading thread title. (Other people do that sort of thing, you know.) Who’s to say?
Maybe it’s the Yugos holding us back.
Oh, and earthpuppy, thinking you can kill one of these things before, oh, say, Thursday is to laugh. To LAUGH!
-Rue. (TMI sign-off censored for your pleasure)
My pleasure? I thought we were talking about Martha Stewart’s pleasure! 
And what DOES an asterix have to do with Roger Maris, anyhoo?
Anyhoo-ha huh.
(I kind of feel like James Brown. Good God!)
Yesterday, I was actually wise enough to avoid this thread.
Today I must be more bored.
Excuse me while I go stick my head in the microwave. Just trying to kill the braincells that contain the memories of Rue’s dream.
