I love it when I can get the sea monkeys to do my googling for me.

She sang this song.

Get over it and move on, Gloria. There's no need to sing about it.

I tried putting some books on the bookswap once. They were all claimed by one person, who was pretty obviously just going to take them and sell them in her store. I bowed out and never went back.

I've heard other people complain about this too.

Has anyone noticed the new little graph that comes up when you compare books? It's like the two of you are having...ummmmm very intimate relations. I think I need to go and have a cold shower.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

You mean the circles that are supposed to be a Venn diagram? Not very helpful, graphically.

[[deleted user]]

Not a true representation of the percentages. Maybe they want everyone to feel compatible.

My thoughts exactly. One girl recently asked to be my friend based in part on the campatibility rating. When I looked at the books we had in common, everyone that I rated as 5 stars, she rated as 1. Everything she rated as 5 stars, I rated as 1.

[Sarah]

I like the ones where at first glance it looks like you have 200 books in common, then you realize the other person has 1400 books listed as "to read" and those are all of the ones that overlap.

[Angela~twistedmind~]

why can't i copy and paste? damn it!! when i right click to 'paste', 'paste' is not in bold print, indicating it is not an option. (she said, even though she is computer illiterate). grrr. it's probably this fucking new 'puter. gotta do every damn thing different than i did on the old one.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I don't necessarily mind if their "to-read" books are the overlap. But when my "will never read" shelf coincides with all their top ratings, not a good sign.

Hmmmmmm, I have three books on my list you have on your will-never-read. Where do you draw the line? What I mean is, how many do we have to have before you give us the cold shoulder?

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I don't have anything against people who read Possession. The movie was decent. I just have no interest in reading the book, which looks very long, and involves lots of poetry. Jurassic Park: no interest in dinosaurs, and I saw the movie. Water for Elephants: I will not read about circuses.

Three is not that high a number. I won't give you the cold shoulder yet.

[[deleted user]]

Well give me a bit of warning so I am not overwhelmed by the shock.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Nor will I hang paintings of clowns on my walls.

::shudder::

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Or how to get to my house with your hideous clown paintings.

::locks doors and windows, activates motion detectors::

[Phil]

::stays quietly and unobserved in the corner, being certain not to move whilst holding the clown painting Barb had me deliver::

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Pfft.

Oooops sorry.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

In 5 seconds I'm going to tie you bitches up, put you in a wheelbarrow, and send it down a hill.

[Janice]

Wooh! LG is getting violent! So, I guess that means you didn't like Stephen King's "It".

At what number do you give the cold shoulder, LG? I think 2 of my top rated, 2 of my 4-star rated, and 2 of my 3-star rated are on your never to be read list.

[[deleted user]]

Do you think she is on to us Bun?

[Michele]

laughing out loud here.

Crustaceans from Chicago seem so violent.

How to inject a song into Sarah's brain in one easy step: mention Tucson, Tucumcari, Tehachapi or Tonopah.

I was in Tehachapi last week. It's a lovely place to meet up. Wind farms in Mojave. Wind blows all the time. Beautiful place.

[Janice]

I think that any place TC'ers meet up will be windy.

[Félix]

Oh good one, Janice.

[Janice]

:)

[Michele]

Tonopah is lovely?

[Phil]

LG's nightmare.

They're everywhere!

[Sally, la reina]

This thread has taken such a horrific turn.

[Mark]

I'm going to ask. How do all you people get those small descriptives after your name?

[Félix]

You have to be SPECIAL, Mark.

My mother always told me I was, Hmph!

[Félix]

You're special, Mark. Just like everybody else.

Perfect! Anyway childish fantasies of epicness aside... what did you mean by SPECIAL?
