Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

You make me feel so special…as if I were riding the short, yellow bus…

Mauvy, you’re timeless, or ummm ageless or, hmmm, something. No, really, you have the piercing look of a older, wiser person, yet the features of a pretty young lass. Hey, you’re special too! :wink:

Cajun Man, you and DrMatrix still make me feel all tingly inside. You guys are a great inspiration to young lovers like us. Even if it means going back to visit psy’s family in New Jersey (god help us) and braving the terrors of rooftop snipers in New Yawk, I will be back to see you guys someday.

Robin, if it weren’t for you, I would keep forgetting how terrible the Army was to me. Let me forget, dammit! :smiley:

Heath, you keep a secret archive info on every SDMB poster, don’t you? [sub]No one is supposed to know about the Miss Nebraska thing! Damn, is NOTHING sacred?[/sub]

casdave, do not fear my righteous pimpness. I bow before your superior cream stout. (Mmmm, Guinness…)

Pat, thanks for posting nice things about me. I’ll be picking up those peanut-butter M&Ms we discussed on Wednesday.

Jizz-Meister, Thanks, dude, just follow my path and you will be able to trick people into thinking you are a nice/cool person someday, too. :smiley:

Andy, although we both always answer the question, I still don’t know if we’ve really agreed on what is what yet. That’s ok, because when I’m #2 or #3, it’s funny as hell anyway. (psst, #1 means SOBER!) :wink:

Flyp, you know you want me, baby. Stop lying to yourself. I knew it the moment I looked into your eyes and you called me “Ass-Slammer”. Come on, admit it.

B-Lin…AHEM!, I mean, Whammo, if ever we meet, and it’s lunch time, and we have leave, I promise to buy you lunch. As long as it’s not more than, say, a couple bucks or so, and as long as it’s not something gross, or tuesday. Or unless it’s a waxing moon. Or if I’m not that hungry. Or unless… :smiley:

King of the Laundry? How much do you charge? My unmentionables are gettin’ a bit grey.

Did you know that Democritus was known as the “Laughing Philosopher?”

23

Demo made me laugh on one of the most mortifying days of my life. He also is fun when I see him in chat, and always has something nice to say. He picks on me a bit, but I forgive him for it. (I’m an easy target)

Hip, hip, hooray!

Demo makes me all tingly inside!

25

Demo has always been one of my favorite posters, although if you realize we joined the board at the same time you will note he seems to have a bit more to say then I do. :wink:

Yesterday I was golfing with my mom and they had a sign announcing demo days, to try out new clubs, and I thought…hmmm about time Demo had a thread devoted to him.

:Raises a beer: Cheers Vince, I hope I get to share this beer for real soon… :slight_smile:

Demo, you have always been one of my favorite posters, too.

I’d love to see you and psycat90 again. Y’all look so cute together.

Thanks for turning me onto Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Great book.

27

Demo, did I ever tell you you’re my hero? You’re everything I wish I could be.
You are the wind beneath my wings.

Heehee, you are a cool guy, and I agree that psy is one lucky lady.

:slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

UncleBeer, I’ll get your whites sparkling white! I charge beer/lb. It varies depending on what type of beer. :wink:

Zette, I missed you! I still laugh to myself about the toity story all the time.

Doobie, you already know. Thanks man, you’re, like, my friend, too! :wink:

Odie, we are board-brother-twins or something. We need to have a beer, or fly a kite at your house. :smiley:

DrMatrix, cool! I’m glad you liked that book. It’s my favorite. Thanks for being so smart and cool. Like I said to Cajun Man, you guys are an inspiration.

Rose, I’m so happy you have WickyCam now, so I psy and I can check you out! :smiley:

Again, thanks everyone. You all are awesome.

I loves me some Demo (baked to medium rare, with an apple in his mouth :stuck_out_tongue: )

Demo is a sweetie, he must be Psy likes him.

30

His “There’s a Spider in my Bathroom” thread (which made it to “Threadspotting”) was the first place I ever posted, and the inspiration for my name.

And he’s a great all-around poster!

yeah. I like demo, even though he does drink… shuddder… southern comfort, and listends to sade. He makes up for it with really loud shirts
and stuff
and um yeah
“presence on the seat” hehehehehehe

32

Sure he tries to cover it up with all that smart talk and by being nice and helpful. As if he couldn’t glide through life on his looks alone.

33

I remember when I first encountered Demo. I was on the East side of town when everything around became bright. I looked up and only after putting on sunglasses and shielding my eyes, could I make out that it was Demo walking toward me with a silver sequin button up tiger shirt on accentuated with a leather hat. He was walking with his band, Tony and the perms, behind him. The theme from Super Fly blaring from their instruments. He had his dog, Commander Squeaks, on a leash. Commander Squeaks was a Chihuahua, also covered in silver sequins.

Supaaaaah Flyyyyyyy

He brushes past me. I got stuck to his shirt. By the time Demo noticed that he had a small Hispanic boy stuck to his shirt, it was the late 80’s. I survived off of grease dripping from his hair. He never took that shirt off until the new trend came to be. I was then forced to carry the tails of his suit which consisted of Miami Vice pushed up sleeves and a glow-in-the-dark dragon glitter T-shirt. When Commander Squeaks died from various STD’s, I took his spot on the leash. Along with other changes, Tony and the perms had hit it big and were now touring under the name Air Supply. Demo was bandless but, he had me and his pink Ferrari all the while assuring me and everyone else that he was hetero. Only when Demo had his car repossessed was I promoted to friend.

Me and Demo boozed through the 90’s. Around 93 he had gotten “Booyah!” buzzed into the back of his head. He wore nothing but Adidas then. He had a $5000 a day addiction of buying gold chains. I begged him to stop but, he assured me that they added more balance when he did his head spin/pop-lock routine. He was a king among breakdancing men. He was able to survive with his addiction only because one of the local beach cities had paid him to spin on his head all night with 10 flashlights on him. All the gold and his silver Adidas jogging suit but, especially his mirror unicorn shirt made him illuminate the shore. It was good practice for him but, he was always grumpy during the day and he couldn’t move his neck. It was like living with Fred Flintstone with papercuts on his ass. After 2 years of that and his addiction, Demo gave a whole new meaning to “Solid Gold Dancer”. It was going okay until the mob knocked on his door.

His name was Vinnie, after all. Apparently Demo had neglected to tell me that he was using the money from my gumball machine to play the horses, online pokers and Bingo. He owed the mob $6,309,234 and 37 cents. All in change. So, we moved from sunny Venice beach, land of breakdancing and gold and were moved to Nu Yohk. I could have gotten away but, once again, I got entangled in his chains. I was only set free when they shook him down in some basement. I was about to step out the door but, my reflection was caught on his shiny shiny ass. So, I became a courier. It’s amazing how many kilos of blow you can hide in your ass when you have a gun pointed to your head. Demo had placed his chains in a reverse CoinStar™ machine and had received $6,309,234 and 17 cents in change, just 20 cents shy of what he owed. But, mafias charge interest. We were fucked. How much more blow and pointy objects could I carry before we made up the 57 cents he now owed the mob? The answer was 7 years.

We finally got out of New York and back to California in 2000. We were broke and had nowhere to go. I was so scared, I took a shit in my pants. My horror slowly turned into a laugh of triumph. There was $87000 worth of blow stuck in my ass. We moved into a small studio in the Bay area where Demo still lives. $14500 of the cash went to buy Demo more obscenely bright and loud shirts. We both had gotten jobs as hamster shavers at a local laboratory but, in separate rooms. One night I stayed late to get overtime and possibly move onto shaving possums. When I got back to our studio, my key didn’t work. The top of our Dutch door swings open and I am greeted by the wide smirk of psy. Her smirk soon turned into a gape of unbridled temper as she asked me in a loud high-pitched scream "Who are you?!?!" A few bruises and purse swings to the head later, psy was out like a light. Demo did not like that one bit and I was banished to sleeping in the hall. When someone is mad at you, never accept a weird looking drink, that’s how I woke up in the dumpster 3 days later. It was a Thursday, I think.

I hopped out of the dumpster and heard loud reggae and the sound of bodies scratching on cardboard. I was in Venice again, surrounded by breakdancers. I did a very lonely and sad robot all the way home. When I got home to my parents, I found a box addressed to me. Inside the box was an enema bag and a note that read “Check your ass”. $17 worth of blow and an empty tube of glue on glitter. I was overcome with joy. Demo still loved me. To this day I still wear a locket with Demo’s picture in it that I made out of one of his gold chains I was able to swipe. Come to think it, had I just given that chain over, we wouldn’t have had to spend 7 years in New York. [sub]damn.[/sub] Oh well, I think Demo enjoyed being raped.

I now live out my days in a RATT cover band with some of the guys from Tony and the perms, who I found wandering in and out of gay clubs in downtown L.A. In memory of the good times, we’re named Chachi Loves Demo.

I love you Demo, when I can hear you over you shirt.

34

Sade?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!!? :eek:

35

Errr, sorry it took me so long to reply. I’m not bumping this for my own glory, really. But, I promised Merc that I’d reply…
Anyways, now that I’m here, I don’t have much to say. :o
Lioness, you are right. The only validation that I need is that psy likes me. :wink:

Spider Woman, I feel so honored to have hosted an SDMB member’s namesake animal. Pierre would be so happy if he/she could just see this moment. I know he/she is looking down from spider-heaven and smiling with those fearsome, venom-dripping fangs.

oldie, whenever I play a record backwards, it tells me to kill my mom. :smiley:

Biggirl, everybody in this world needs just one person who will lie for them. Thanks for being that person for me. Smart, nice and helpful…HA!

Merc, I love you. That’s all I have to say about that.

Whammo, you know you want you some Sade! :stuck_out_tongue:

36

I missed this thread the first time around, forgive me sweetie.

Demo is…well, what can I say that hasn’t already been said?

I love and adore him dearly. 'Nuff said, I guess.

Besides, anyone who can handle his fiery chicken wings (in MY little corner of the world this would only include my brother and me, which is fine…more for us at any BBQ we might attend) would be okay by me. Even if I DIDN’T love and adore him, I would love and adore him just because he shared the recipe with me. Thanks, hon!

And he and Psy have renewed my faith in second chances. This thread should REALLY have been about the both of them. So…MASS hugs in your general direction, Demo and Psy!

Much Love,

Cheri

37

Demo is my twin bro. 'Nuff said.

38

Demo blows goats.

Jus thought y’all should know.

And Nymy, if Demo is your twin, I obviously wasn’t paying attention.

39

Well, DUH, think. We’re the same age, we both come in blonde and brunette flavours, we both…
um… I think I’ll let Demo take it from here.
Some things need to stay in the family. :smiley:

Demo gives better oral then anyone I know.
