So you thought everyone had already received the message that was in the sentence immediately prior to the query?


message 852: by Félix (new)

Félix (habitseven) Well ... it was prior.


Jackie "the Librarian" | 8991 comments I'm confused...

I believe that was his intent, Jackie.

Prior, sure. But in the same message???


message 856: by Félix (new)

Félix (habitseven) As in earlier.

Before the giraffe deboning "hilarity"?


message 858: by Félix (new)

Félix (habitseven) Before the beginning.

I'm dizzy.


message 860: by Félix (new)

Félix (habitseven) I'm Larry. Glad to meet you, Dizzy.


message 861: by Richard (new)

Richard | 347 comments And I thought giraffe deboning was complicated.


message 862: by Félix (new)

Félix (habitseven) With a couple of drinks anything is simple.

message 864: by Félix (new)

Félix (habitseven) Say it ain't so, Sally.


message 865: by Richard (new)

Richard | 347 comments I always find the open hood in the background intriguing. Is that the monk's car? Did he open the hood to avoid getting a parking ticket?


message 866: by Vanessa (new)

Vanessa (buckythecat) I'm still laughing at the phrase "spam-seeking missile."


message 867: by Julie (new)

Julie | 568 comments But Richard, WHY are you deboning dead giraffes?
I really want to know in case you're creepy and I need to avoid you at all costs.


message 868: by Richard (new)

Richard | 347 comments Purely for fictional purposes, I assure you, Julie. I think it's safe to say I'm a fabulous taxidermist.


message 869: by Félix (new)

Félix (habitseven) Safe for you, maybe.


message 870: by Julie (new)

Julie | 568 comments Heh-
Okay, it's good to know it's fictional deboning.
You should say these things up front so people don't go around assuming you're a poaching, deboning fiend.
Like how some of us are scared of Kevin cause he eats live pigeons.

Félix (habitseven) Picturing the blood running down his chin.


message 872: by Matthieu (new)

Matthieu | 1009 comments I'm currently in Philly. I took the train this afternoon. It was lovely out during the early afternoon. It has since become rather chilly.
Oh, Penn...

Sally (mrsnolte) | 17373 comments Mod
I'm concerned that I self-immolated in protest and y'all just carry on, talking about giraffes and weekend plans. Now I know how much I'd be missed, shit.


message 874: by Richard (new)

Richard | 347 comments Self-immolation is a heart-warming experience.

PS: Why did you leave the hood open?


Jackie "the Librarian" | 8991 comments I didn't realize that was YOU getting immolated, Sally. Don't DO that!


message 876: by Félix (new)

Félix (habitseven) EVER!!


message 877: by Julie (new)

Julie | 568 comments Why did you do that Sally?

Was it the giraffe thing?
I told him it sounded creepy.


message 878: by Sally, la reina (new)

Sally (mrsnolte) | 17373 comments Mod
Heh. Now y'all find some concern. I love how everyone just rolls with the punches here. Blah, blah, blah giraffe blah point, blah Philly spam missile, blah blah.


message 879: by Félix (new)

Félix (habitseven) blah


message 880: by Sally, la reina (new)

Sally (mrsnolte) | 17373 comments Mod
Where is Kevin? He'd blah it up nicely right 'bout now.


message 881: by Félix (new)

Félix (habitseven) I guess he has a life.


Jackie "the Librarian" | 8991 comments I think he's setting traps for pigeons, Larry.

I'm thoroughly enjoying some chicken soup. Chris made a special trip to the store for me so I can finally have proper sick person food, hurrah! Soup, and toasted extra crispy English muffin with peanut butter, and more tea. Aaaahhh... so soothing!


message 883: by Félix (new)

Félix (habitseven) It's a good thing he's taking good care of you. I was gonna call out the cavalry, otherwise.


Jackie "the Librarian" | 8991 comments Does the cavalry make soup? I did not know that!


message 885: by Félix (new)

Félix (habitseven) That's one of their specialties, actually. Little known fact.

I received a postcard today! Woot! Jackie ♥s me!


Jackie "the Librarian" | 8991 comments Well, yeah, Sally. Duh! ; )

I'm glad the postcards are finally arriving. My mom said she got hers today, too.


message 888: by Kevin (new)

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments BLAH


message 889: by Kevin (new)

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments Actually I have been gone all day volunteering at our church. We had an absolutely free dinner today ( no donations accepted) and I helped serve over 5000 free meals to our community. Very cool to be a part of

Julie - I didn't really eat a pigeon but I did debone a dodo bird

Is that what you served at your church dinner, Kevin? Uh, were you aware...


message 891: by Kevin (new)

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments Yeah, apparently it was the last one...

( we did serve chicken and noodles LOL )

message 894: by Nuri (last edited Apr 10, 2009 08:17PM) (new)

Nuri (nools) | 538 comments HURRAH! I'm hooome! And I can tell because:

I've eaten more in a single meal than I have in the last five days!
I was told to eat more and that I was getting fat in the same sentence!
My arms are still shaking a little from 6 hours non-stop driving!
There are giant Asian pears!!

I am rolling about the house happily! A disheveled, sleepy-eyed ball of happiness and food! More exclamations for sleep-deprivation!


P.S. Thank you, Larry for the well-wishes. I did drowse a little at the wheel a couple times, but traffic was okay, and I didn't swerve too much. I love driving so much.

P.P.S. EIGHTY new posts? Self-immolation and debone-ing of questionable poultry? If I didn't know you all any better, I'd be concerned for my reading comprehension/sanity. <3


Jackie "the Librarian" | 8991 comments Glad you're home safely, Nools! Yikes! But if you get sleepy on the road on the way home, pull over and get some fresh air, or a catnap, or some Dr. Pepper, okay?


message 896: by Nuri (last edited Apr 10, 2009 08:27PM) (new)

Nuri (nools) | 538 comments Thank you, Jackie! I should! That is what an intelligent person would do, I think.

I was so ridiculously caffeine-saturated, it was like I wasn't actually falling asleep? That doesn't make sense. Trying again: The girl responsible for keeping me awake/us alive told me my eyes were shutting, but I didn't even realize that they were. This would happen mid-moderately coherent sentence. We traded off eventually, but not before I got a generous share of traffic.

I am sorry, everyone who was driving around me! I am sorry, Asian women, for perpetuating an unfair driving stereotype against our kind!

Sally (mrsnolte) | 17373 comments Mod
Nools! I'm glad you arrived safely. Never ever ::wags finger:: drive sleepy again.

I once dozed off and woke when my arms jerked - but I didn't know I'd fallen asleep, I just thought the steering wheel was coming loose.

It sounded more probable at the time.


message 898: by Matthieu (new)

Matthieu | 1009 comments The moon is shining through the windows of Provosts Tower. The lights in the quad are glowing in the diffused haze. Center City can be seen in the distance. I can't wait to be home.


message 899: by Nuri (new)

Nuri (nools) | 538 comments Nighttime walks without fear of being mugged/raped are some of the things I miss the most when I'm in Berkeley. : )

It's LA, so there were no stars, but my home's nestled in hills that smell like rosemary and wildflowers. I always miss this so much.


message 900: by RandomAnthony (last edited Apr 12, 2009 04:24AM) (new)

RandomAnthony | 14536 comments Great post, Nools. I would miss that, too. Pretty soon I'll be able to sit on the back deck all night without getting cold.

Right now I'm waiting for the kids to wake before the Easter thing commences. I thought about going running, but I think I'll wait until after the Easter thing.

Yesterday was a long day, sort of, so today I'm trying to focus on that Easter/rebirth thing. My wife and kids fly to Florida for a week tomorrow. I hate when they're gone, and I hate more than anything having a bad day before they leave, then regretting the bad day for a week while they're gone.
