Whiteout? Depends. Are they by any chance colored whiteout? I used to have this thing for colored whiteout a few years ago: canary yellow, blue, pink, goldenrod, light green, etc.

I don’t think you want to know what happened to your remaining highlighters. My sister decided to take them with her to Mississauga for certain nefarious purposes, shall we say.

Hm, just how nefarious can one get in Mississauga?

Nope, plain old Wite-out.

**screech-owl** further to your questions regarding the appearance of Calculator: It is a rather cute palm sized model, with small pink and grey buttons. Calculator runs exclusively on solar power (it’s very environmentally aware). I think temp-girl’s “oohing and ahhing” over its appearance has gone to Calculators head.

I take offence at your suggestion that Pen is either out for a one night stand or a gold digger. Pen is the apple of my eye and would never hurt my feelings.

Pen is a slut. There is no way that calculator would have been involved in the seduction of pen, had not pen been willing to ‘ink’.

Furthermore, since pen was also in **screech-owl** ’s mouth, it is soooooooo obvious that pen is a slut. I mean who gets into _that_ mouth without knowing what was in there first? ewwwwwww.

On a happier note, glad to see that pen has returned to the fold… and did you wash the dishes yet? I’m looking for something clean to eat offa.
