289556 Mr. Fashion, huh? Do you sport cunning little sweater vests in the classroom, RA? And corduroy? Lots and lots of corduroy, I would guess? I can only HOPE that your pants aren't tapered...

645979 I don't leave until this evening. Talk about suspense! I want to go RIGHT NOW!!! Lots of stuff to do today though. I watched Batman last night--didn't get home until 3am, but I had so much coffee during the day that I didn't get to sleep until 6. Ugh...

You want me to bring you back any souveniers?

372363 3 things back at ya:

1.Brewers Shmewers.

3. The Evens are damn good. I just burned a copy for Amelia. Want in?

I mean, Mr. Fashion.

698433 My current avatar is a film still from Exorcist 3, which--while goofy and starring a bloated George C. Scott--was one of the Scariest Films of All Time. Well, maybe not scary to everyone. Perhaps, just perhaps, it played off my Catholic brainwashing as a child effectively... Headless crucifixes, murders in confessional booths, demon possession. Just your average Catholic jr. high religion class.

So, in answer to your question, that's what kind of avatar it is.

Grumble grumble. Those damn Sox! My husband came home Friday, turned on the radio to listen to the game and quickly unplugged it when he heard the Cubs getting spanked.


The Bears are gonna suck again? It would be nice to have a quarterback that can, well, play the game.

*sighs*

Hey, I'm pretty slow on the uptake, but is this where your user name comes from?

Came across this in the Mythology book last night around 4am and was like: 'OOHHHHHHHHH!'

289556 RA, it was nice to see a familiar face while trapped in the never-ending book quiz this morning. Tough questions, though. Hmm, and while you had questions about music, none of them were about the Beatles. Why is that?

06/06/2008 11:52AM

372363 there are a lot of comments that don't make any sense once the avatar changes... I wonder if Otis can freeze frame the avatar next to the comments?!? Ah, he's got bigger fish to fry with the likes of Latinboyz ruuning around here.

70078 RA, I am loving the music questions in the book quiz. You're right, someone needs to combat the endless romance book questions that seem to make up over 60% of the quiz. Keep 'em coming!

from Dave
06/05/2008 10:07AM

26185 Hey, what's with all the music questions in the book quiz? Are you trying to drive down my score?

06/05/2008 07:46AM

372363 :) no, I got up early to hear David's story... (ok, that nd I had to take out the trash)

Sloppy win... would have liked a game 7, but hey!! We won!! WOO HOOO!! (does victory dance)

645979 Oh good! Glad you returned the sentiment. hee hee. (Also, you can really see the bump on my finger from where I write. I've had that stupid callous since elementary school. I guess it's never gonna go away...)

698433 Dude, you still haven't signed-up for the quickly approaching Miniature Amsterdam Midwestern Summit next February. What gives? I know you like to maintain a cool, aloof James Deanesque persona (which is why you never entered the haiku competition), but let's hear a few screaming woohoos for what promises to be an earth-shattering meeting of the minds! I think we can all solve this whole global warming thing over a deep-fried onion...

*checking pocket*
I have a dime and some lint...

thanks for the laugh, I needed that!

698433 RA, what's closed on Mother's Day? (It'd be ironic in a non-ironic Alanis Morrisette kind of way if it were Planned Parenthood. Hey, they should really have half-off Mother's Day abortion specials...)
