Charissa’s comments from the Axis Mundi X group.

that's intense. just when you thought it was safe to go back in the atmosphere.

chocolate isn't hard to find in my house. i have a vintage flour bin on the counter which is labeled "chocolate". People can hardly believe it when they open the lid and voila! it actually contains chocolate!

wow... hey.... maybe that has something to do with our global warming situation...

and we pay you to sit next to the Trustafarian who has been dipped in patchouli but not bathed for six months

Heh. I knew I had chosen wisely. The Typo Queen is already hard at work!!!

Now if I can just keep the M&Ms hidden...

alrighty then. if no one will step forward. or even discuss stepping forward, I'm just forced to foist the position upon as many of you as I can at once. Ha! So there! Share the misery, people!!!!! Bwahh ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!

seriously... they could at least offer pretzels instead.

The flight wasn't that bad. But they did make me pay to check a bag ($15) and if I wanted a snack it was $3 for a package of Twizzlers.

Good lord. What a load of cheap bastards they have become.

I did, however, sit next to a very nice PhD student who is a Cultural Anthropologist who is going to live with Evangelical Christians in Colorado for her dissertation. Now that was an interesting conversation.

Hi Johnny!! Hi Larry!!

ahhh ha ha ha ha ha ha ha... Rusty... that was a good one. ::::ba doom ch!::::

Larry, I think tenacity is a good word.

Armenius... oh yes... so sorry... John Schneider. Well, even better. You're all ready to portray W on GR. Have at you.

I'm off to airport ya'll. I have to fly United. Wish me luck.

lol. my feelings exactly Servius.

you seem to already be registered as Ricky Schroeder, so why not? You seem like a good candidate to portray W.

Rusty... are you suggesting Obama isn't capable of enjoying membership in several book clubs? Are you accusing him of being book club elitist? Shocking.

Once I got lost inside my impermanence. Good thing I had a flashlight with me.

I broke a tooth on my impertinence once. It's hard to stop running your tongue over the ragged edge of your own impertinence.

uh oh. did you break them? I understand broken assumptions cut like the dickens.

Thanks Isaiah, for holding down the fort. I sympathize with your feelings. I have a lot of misgivings myself about continuing to act in capacity as moderator. Not only here, but anywhere. I'm tired. I'm otherwise occupied. I really don't think I have much to offer the community at the moment. I appreciated what people had to say about my not allowing myself to be chased out of the group I started, but I really think I need to step out pretty soon. I would love it if someone else would be considered for the position of replacing me as moderator here at Axis. I would rather return to participating in Goodreads on a more casual basis.

I would appreciate if people would make nominations. I'm flying to Denver tomorrow and will be gone until after the holiday. Maybe while I'm away some discussion could happen here around that.

I really don't want to delete the group. So much great conversation has gone on here.

Thanks.

well Larry, at least you're paying for a parking garage for them. as long as your illusions are free, you can make them as shiny as you want to.

LOL!!! very true jackie... you would just know it wasn't going to end well, one way or another.

A woman meets a man in a bar.

They talk; they connect; they end up leaving together.

They get back to his place, and as he shows her around his apartment. She notices that one wall of his bedroom is completely filled with soft, sweet,
cuddly teddy bears. There are three shelves in the bedroom, with hundreds and hundreds of cute, cuddly teddy bears carefully placed in rows, covering the entire wall!

It was obvious that he had taken quite some time to lovingly arrange them and she was immediately touched by the amount of thought he had put into organizing the display. There were small bears all along the bottom shelf, medium-sized bears covering the length of the middle shelf, and huge, enormous bears running all the way along the top shelf.

She found it strange for an obviously masculine guy to have such a large collection of Teddy Bears. She is quite impressed by his sensitive side but doesn't mention this to him.

They share a bottle of wine and continue talking and, after a while, she finds herself thinking, 'Oh my God! Maybe, this guy could be the one!

Maybe he could be the future father of my children. She turns to him and kisses him lightly on the lips

He responds warmly. They continue to kiss, the passion builds, and he romantically lifts her in
his arms and carries her into his bedroom where they rip off each other's clothes and make hot, steamy love.

She is so overwhelmed that she responds with more passion, more creativity, more heat than she has ever known.

After an intense, explosive night of raw passion with this sensitive guy, they are lying there together in the afterglow. The woman rolls over, gently strokes his chest and asks coyly,

'Well, how was it?'

The guy gently smiles at her, strokes her cheek, looks deeply into her eyes, and says:

'Help yourself to any prize from the middle shelf.'

Yeah Debbie, that was kind of my take on it too. Too bad. For a second I got kind of excited. Ah, teh internetz iz full of deceptions.
