I believe that Techchick is a brilliant and purdy lady. I believe that Coldfireā€™s multi-thousand-mile-long penis is still blocking my driveway (and the smegma smell is starting to get unbearableā€¦ I should turn the hose on to it tomorrow). I believe that Unclebeer pees a lot, hence his nickname, Unclepee. I believe Wishbone has WAAAAY overestimated how disturbed (and rich) I am. I believe that Reprise returns to the TMI Thread WAAAAY too often. I believe that Fenris is really Bill Watterson, cackling and giggling away in his basement/evil laboratory as these bizarre creations of his take lifeā€¦ even as I type this, Iā€™m picturing him screaming ā€œItā€™s alive! Itā€™s ALIIIIVE!ā€ as a half-man, half-breakfast-cereal type creature receives a surge of electricity and, with a pained moaning of the damned, it RISES from the tableā€¦ I believe that ExTank has a collection of several hundred fully-automatic rifles, machine guns, SMGā€™s, carbines, and a good-sized collection of berettas, glocks, HKā€™s, all sitting around on his bedroom floor, waiting to be used. I also believe that he wears a cowboy hat, a thong, an ammo belt, and a bandolierā€¦ and nothing else. ---

> [@](#): > > I believe that CalMeacham would be really cool to kick back with and talk about all sorts of things over a few beers. Heā€™s got an a very down-to-earth, yet hilarious way of looking at things. **celestina** , I am very touched and honored. Any time you want to drop by and have a few beers and talk about things, feel free. Thereā€™s plenty of beer here, because friends bring it for parties, and neither Pepper Mill nor I drink it. But Iā€™ll open a bottle of wine, or possibly Pepperā€™s home-made mead, so you wonā€™t be drinking alone. **celestina** sounds like the name of the heroine in one of those ā€œClassics Illustrated Juniorā€ fairy tales. Sheā€™s diminutive, with a gown covered with stars. ---

Oooh, CalMeacham, sounds like yourā€™s and PepperMillā€™s place is the place to be since folks are always stopping by and dropping beers off. šŸ™‚ Shoot, I canā€™t get folks to drop no beers off at my place, just the far too infrequent bottle of single malt Scotch. šŸ˜‰ If Iā€™m ever up your neck of the woods, Iā€™d love to stop by and meet you and PepperMill. Iā€™ll even bring you a bottle of wine. What kind of wine do you drink? I donā€™t like sweet wines, but I do like most other whites (Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Semillon, Pouilly Fuisse?) and reds (Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir). I donā€™t think Iā€™ve ever had mead before, though. Whatā€™s the difference between beer and mead? And Cal, Iā€™m not a diminutive fairy. [giggle] I wonder whatā€™s got folks thinking I am? šŸ™‚ I thought of some more folks. I believe I get really good vibes from Ginger of the North. She just sounds like sheā€™d be A LOT OF FUN to hang with. šŸ™‚ I believe Iā€™d like to sit down and talk philosophy with Francesca. Mind you, I donā€™t know shit about philosophy, but I think weā€™d have so much fun that somehow that wouldnā€™t matter. I believe Iā€™d like to go ballroom dancing with Gartog. I believe Iā€™d DEFINITELY like to go dancing with Collounsbury. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by celestina \* > **I believe Superdude has a fixation with rope . . . [d & r]** Actually, youā€™re not too far off. Iā€™ve done some S/M, B/D-type stuff.

[giggle] I wonder whatā€™s got folks thinking I am? šŸ™‚ Mead is ā€œhoney wineā€, made from fermented honey + water + yeast. Not like beer at all. Actually, thereā€™s a whole class of underappreciated beverages of that type, using honey and fruit juices. Pepperā€™s made some very interesting experiments. (Some companies simply mix honey into existing white wine and call it ā€œmeadā€. But it ainā€™t.) I like all sorts of white wine, especially Chardonnay. I also have a soft spot for native American ā€œfoxyā€ wines, like Niagara. This drives Pepper Mill crazy, since she thinks theyā€™re all too sweet. ā€œcelestinaā€ just sounds too much like ā€œThumbelinaā€ or ā€œballerinaā€ for you _not_ to be a diminutive imp. ---
