Q&A about TC and GR and Such

[Janice]

I haven't read it or I would join in.

[[deleted user]]

It is a pretty quick read if you want to join in.

[Janice]

I've got a few books that have to be read first. I can still join in belatedly.

Dorian Gray was my favorite Oscar Wilde story. Read it first in high school and have reread it several times since. Loaded it on my Kindle from public domain.

[Sally, la reina]

I'm not being silent. I started something like eleventy billion threads today, thank you very much.

[Sally, la reina]

Hey! I do NOT squish spiders unless they are on my face or near my baby. Otherwise they get a ride on a coaster under a glass to the nearest porch.

*whistles innocently*

[Michele]

lurking like a spider.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I think this is a new feature. Quote of the day.

Heidi?"

Nope. Not me... apparently it was J9. :)

[Michele]

still lurking and hovering near the ficus.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Don't forget that if you do updates, GR will chart your progress for you on a graph.

[janine]

I like graphs!

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

But they can be ugly, like mine for The Magic Mountain.

[Jonathan]

Looks like all the magic came at the end, LG.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Ha. That book was slow going. See how I was so proud of making it from p. 188 to p. 190?

[Jonathan]

And still are, apparently :)

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Would the fountain of your mind were clear again, that I might water an ass at it.

after becoming cross-eyed reading about farting vaginas, spam, sidecar riding, pretty eyed cows and uncle bob, i finally found a reference to 'TWSS'. SHIT!!
i'm of the opinion it stems from 'that's what she said'. (yes, i am well aware my opinion may be quite incorrect). this leads me to a question i have had for some time now. just what the hell does 'that's what she said' refer to, exactly?

[Scout]

That's an unforgettable image.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

We had a discussion of TWSS in another thread and someone linked to a long clip from The Office. I don't know if the term originated there.

[Félix]

It's ancient.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Ancient Rome, Greece, or Mayan?

[Félix]

New Jersey.

[Sally, la reina]

Jim is from Jersey?

[Félix]

Deep down inside we're all from Jersey.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

You mean deep in our colons?

[Félix]

e coli.

[Jonathan]

What exit number is that?

[Félix]

The one by Piscataway.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Joyce Kilmer service area.

[Jonathan]

Yeah. Sounds about right.

[Félix]

I know it well.

[Sally, la reina]

::thrashes::

[Félix]

Tunnele Ave., North Bergen.

[Jonathan]

How is it that you know the geography of New Jersey so well?

[Félix]

I worked in and out of there for several years.

[Jonathan]

You sure get around.

thanks, barb. i had the impression it was something like that. but, like i said, i'm occasionally incorrect.

i think i'm gonna have'ta start gettin' teased and corrected for using slang and the wrong words and puttin' my damn commas and so on in the wrong place.
i do try, y'all, but sometimes i get in a hurry and just don't pay attention to the little things. just sayin'. but i am amused by how often people are corrected here...........carry on.

[Félix]

Janine eventually came around and started using the shift key. Maybe you could aspire to that.

Does he get bugged riding up and down the same old strip?

[Jonathan]

He's gotta find a new place where the kids are hip.

[Félix]

I get around.

Believe it or not, this morning while visiting another site, I pondered that very thing. Heehee. No, really, I did. Anywho, I've been trying all day and I'm doing better, but I'm still finding myself ignoring that old shifty key.

[Félix]

Good going, A.

[Kevin]

hey, what does maitri mean?
