My man is a hoopy frood.

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

Last night I half awoke from a bad dream, convinced my side of the bed (and only my side) was crawling with bugs. I yelped and scooted over to Imp Y Celyn’s side, whereupon he jumps up and asks me what’s wrong. I sat up and screamed, “bugs!” And my brave soldier rushed off to get something to defend me with.

He returned… with… a…

towel.

A white-and-pink-striped towel.

He shoved it into my arms and collapsed back onto the bed, already asleep.

This morning he wondered where the towel came from. And learned that his pillow-dodging reflexes are quite good, really.

If you rearrange the letters, he’s a

3

Hit submit too soon…as I was saying…

If you rearrange the letters, he’s a hood of ropy. :wink:

4

You see, you were supposed to use it to snag the bugs as you were falling from your three-mile high marble bed.

If your bed isn’t three miles high and made of marble, it should be.

5

Snag the bugs… like, if I get enough of them in my towel, they will provide enough lift to bear me softly to the ground? Douglas Adams was right- towels are good for everything!

6

I myself am an expert towel flicker. All of those bugs would have met a terrible fate if I shared your bed.

7

Must be the strangest pickup-line I have ever heard.

No, the #1 strangest was the guy who used to call my work and ask if I liked pickles. But you get #2.

8

I honestly don’t know – is it a good thing or a bad thing to be a hoopy frood? And are there other varieties of froodiosity besides the hoopy kind?

9

Maybe he kept calling because you didn’t answer him.

Inquiring weirdos want to know: Do you like pickles or not?

10

Ya know, I finally did answer him. I was just too curious. I said that I do like dill, but not sweet. He asked me for my fax number and said he’d send me a recipe for pickles. Never did. Harumph.

11

… and exactly how many times had his mother dropped him on his head?

12

Susan–what did you do about the bugs?
And why just on your side?
Fruit/flower scented perfumes, maybe?
Or are you eating crackers in bed again?

gets a Babelfish for Bosda (band name?)

In my native tongue:

It was a dream. :stuck_out_tongue:

Or, I was just whooshed. Always a possibility.

14

Que? :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

15

She dreamt it. There were no bugs. :cool:

16

It was a dream indeed. I was only half-awake when I “saw” the bugs, and didn’t surface entirerly until I had a towel thrust into my arms.

Bosda, I went back to sleep and made a pact with the bugs (really) that I wouldn’t kill them if they paid a visit to my downstairs neighbors with the bitchin’ sound system, a killer collection of rap/hip hop, and a bedtime of about 2am. :mad: grr.

17

Almost forgot: Thanks, FloozyGoddess. I’ll show it to Imp tonight. Your Anagram thread really should become a SD newbie must-read.

18

So I’m the Buzz Aldrin of weird pickup-lines.
Well, that’s something for my headstone.

19

Well towels are the most massively useful thing anyone could ever have…

“Hoopy” - really together dude.
“Frood” - really amazingly together dude.
