That doesn’t make sense, does it? The actual quote is

“Is it still raining? I hadn’t noticed”

FOR WHICH SHE MUST DIE.

Ha! That Dennis. He’s a madman. He’s got soft hands, though.

I heartily second, third, and fourth the glowing endorsements of Joey Hemlock contained herein. Defender of the weak and friend to children, he once walked across a lake to heal an injured swan. He is the mayor of Bangkok, Thailand. A hug from Joey can shrink tumors. Women want him and men want to be him. He is love.

Please, buy Joey Hemlock where you work or bank! Your country is depending on you!

As usual, I agree with Frannie 100%! AAAARRRRGGGHHH. Her acting skills rival Keanu Reeves for sheer cardboardness.

Sheer cardboard. Hm.

Anyway, Joey once tried to eat my nose as well. I admit I didn’t really enjoy the experience, but I do like Joey quite a lot anyway.

There is nothing I can say to turn this into a ridiculous story or a snarky back-handed comment disguised as a joke. So, um, hi!

It’s never the best the first time. We just need to keep working on it and before you know it, you’ll be so into it that you don’t even think about how “dirty” or “sinful” it is.

“Man of exquisite taste,” indeed.

For all we know, Hama _is_ a 12-year-old rich boy. Wait. I’ve met Hama. Never mind. 🙂

For a 12-year-old boy, Hama’s got nice tits.

The first time I met Joey, he bit me, and then he brumskied me. I love him. Buy him today!

LIES! ALL LIES! I bit her and brumskied her the SECOND time I met her! And she was asking for it, being all cute and charming and smelling nice. I can’t be blamed for something that is so clearly her fault.

You’re right. I’m sorry, but I just get so frustrated with your ways sometimes. I have to remember that as close as we are, we’re still diffferent people with different need. But I’m willing to work this out if you are. I think we have something special… something symbiotic and real and _necessary_. Let’s try to make it work.

Welcome back, **Joey**. I’ve enjoyed reading your LJ entries very much, and hope to get the same amount of enjoyment (or more so) out of reading your posts here! 🙂

now, if only I can _meet_ you, and thus be in the same room as your greatness, I’d be truly happy…
