RITA's XLVIII: Some Fun Now

[Pól Rua]

Hola, monkey man.
I actually feel more awake right now.
Drugs are AWESOME!
Hey RonLad!

Howdy, Pól. How's life treatin' you?
Pretty good. Spend New Years in some delightful company, made some great new friends this year and have just been having a jim-dandy time of it.
You?

[StoneGold]

Cronin must have some hangover

Busy fighting the live squirrel he found in his fecal matter this morning. So now, he's got a shit covered squirrel running around his office and he doesn't know what to name it.

[Ronald Bryan]

Drugs are AWESOME!
Hey RonLad!


Pretty good. Spend New Years in some delightful company, made some great new friends this year and have just been having a jim-dandy time of it.
You?
You've already been making friends after one day?

[tricksterpup]

Pretty good. Spend New Years in some delightful company, made some great new friends this year and have just been having a jim-dandy time of it.
You?

You've met hookers?

[Ronald Bryan]

You've met hookers?
If they were hookers, they wouldn't be "new" friends for Pol.

[howyadoin]

Oh good, I'll just sit back and relax, then.Bastard.

.

[Pól Rua]

If I wasn't sure that it would get you off on a really bad foot, I'd say you should tell anyone who wants you to get on a chair to introduce yourself that you need an organ grinder and a hat for tips if you are expected to play the role of a monkey.

I have a very nice hat.
*nodnod*

[howyadoin]

Pretty good. Spend New Years in some delightful company, made some great new friends this year and have just been having a jim-dandy time of it.
You?Life is good. The past few weeks have been quite enjoyable.

And today I'm not hungover, and I'm starting a new painting.

[Pól Rua]

You've already been making friends after one day?

Yup. I'm genial!

[howyadoin]

So now, he's got a shit covered squirrel running around his office and he doesn't know what to name it.Would "Shitty the Shit-Covered Squirrel" be too obvious?

[tricksterpup]

ha, I see you had a good time last night.

[howyadoin]

ha, I see you had a good time last night.He does love to wear a costume.

[Ronald Bryan]

Bastard.

.
Well, I don't want to get my post count too high. I'm still on strike from when I lost 5,000 posts in the purge back when no one had topped 15,000.

[Ronald Bryan]

Yup. I'm genial!
You missed a "t" in there.

[Pól Rua]

You've met hookers?
If they were hookers, they wouldn't be "new" friends for Pol.
Not necessarily.
I'm very shy.
I have been known to play 'hard to get' at a brothel.

Life is good. The past few weeks have been quite enjoyable.
And today I'm not hungover, and I'm starting a new painting.
Sounds like three out of three. Good go, that man.

http://www.chugspub.com/images/colorado_dave_s_2007_11611.jpg
Beards are HOT.
Just ask Tom Cruise.

or Cronin.

I like being in Rita's after 5000. It's like being in the store after closing.
*breaks out the space hoppers and goes looking for Jennifer Connolly*

[howyadoin]

You missed a "t" in there.I don't think "genialt" is a real word, Ron.

[Gilda Dent]

If I wasn't sure that it would get you off on a really bad foot, I'd say you should tell anyone who wants you to get on a chair to introduce yourself that you need an organ grinder and a hat for tips if you are expected to play the role of a monkey.

I'm hopeful that it'll just be something like "Stand up when you hear your name." That's how most of my principals have done things.

[howyadoin]

I like being in Rita's after 5000. It's like being in the store after closing.Or the bar.

[Pól Rua]

Would "Shitty the Shit-Covered Squirrel" be too obvious?

I'm sensing movie deal.
Pixar?

[howyadoin]

I'm sensing movie deal.
Pixar?I like it.

But who'd do the voice?

[Pól Rua]

You missed a "t" in there.

genihttp://www.vayatele.com/images/mr%20t.JPGal?

[Ronald Bryan]

Or the bar.
Just waiting for the police to come a knocking.

[StoneGold]

I like it.

But who'd do the voice?

Cliff from Cheers?

[tricksterpup]

I like it.

But who'd do the voice?

I am just curious who would do the voice of Cronin??

James Earl Jones?

[Pól Rua]

I like it.

But who'd do the voice?


[i]don't say Dustin Diamond...
don't say Dustin Diamond...
don't say Dustin Diamond...
[/internal monologue]

[Ronald Bryan]

I am just curious who would do the voice of Cronin??

James Earl Jones?
HAL 9000, of course.

[Pól Rua]

I don't think "genialt" is a real word, Ron.

Is that Yiddish?

[tricksterpup]

[i]don't say Dustin Diamond...
don't say Dustin Diamond...
don't say Dustin Diamond...
[/internal monologue]

What is sad, is I had to google to know that was Screech from saved by the bell and you knew it.

[howyadoin]

Cliff from Cheers?Jesus, this'll practically write itself.

[Pól Rua]

What is sad, is I had to google to know that was Screech from saved by the bell and you knew it.

What's sad is that I know WHY that's a joke.
Be glad you don't.
Seriously.

[Pól Rua]

Cliff from Cheers?

Shit yes.
I smell blockbuster.

Blockbuster and poo-covered squirrel.

[tricksterpup]

Shit yes.
I smell blockbuster.

Blockbuster and poo-covered squirrel and Cronin's Anus.
There fixed it for you.

[Ben Morgan]

Busy fighting the live squirrel he found in his fecal matter this morning. So now, he's got a shit covered squirrel running around his office and he doesn't know what to name it.
He also somehow ended up in London

[Pól Rua]

Brian Cronin is the all-fecal robot Dave Seville for our generation.

There fixed it for you.
Just... wow...

"Realistic" graphics, yeah.

"Players learn quickly, with help from realistic graphics, that wolves do a lot of running — across plains, through forests and up and down steep slopes."

Sounds exciting.

[Winslow]

The tannins maybe. That would explain red being worse than white.

The sheer amount of sugar is a pretty big part of it, too. That's why mixed drinks will give you a worse hangover than straight booze.

Yeah, it was a red shiraz that nailed me.

Could have also been the forced air heat set at 75 degrees (ugh).

I sense I am being mocked.

Just because of that, I'm taking my ball and going home.

Just an attempt at harmless flirting (I have an over-active imagination)

yes, you are so easy to take advantage of.. ;)
I am sure you don't remember that one night in that quiet motel.

No, I don't remember it. But the gray hair all over the mattress pissed me off.

[Pól Rua]

"Realistic" graphics, yeah.

"Players learn quickly, with help from realistic graphics, that wolves do a lot of running — across plains, through forests and up and down steep slopes."

Sounds exciting.

They also do plenty of rooting, pooing and sniffing each other's bungholes.
Ctrl-B is the bunghole sniffing command.
Ctrl-L is for licking your own genitals.

[Ronald Bryan]

See, now that, that sounds like tons more fun than steep slopes!

[Matt Algren]

A few weeks ago I had 3 margaritas for lunch and was toast for the rest of the afternoon.Now you're a teacher.

[tricksterpup]

No, I don't remember it. But the gray hair all over the mattress pissed me off.

Hey at least I didn't eat Crackers in bed.

[StoneGold]

Have they started doing something different with zippers? I was just thinking, it's been forever since I've caught the skin of my penis in one.

[Ronald Bryan]

God bless Donald Faison. Even 12 years ago he was playing pretty much the exact same character he's still playing today.

[Ronald Bryan]

Hey at least I didn't eat Crackers in bed.
I'm lost, who is Crackers?

[StoneGold]

Jim Henson and Frank Oz were the greatest comedy team of all time.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nSmWHHZpVE

[Ronald Bryan]

Have they started doing something different with zippers? I was just thinking, it's been forever since I've caught the skin of my penis in one.
Frank and beans, frank and beans.

[tricksterpup]

Have they started doing something different with zippers? I was just thinking, it's been forever since I've caught the skin of my penis in one.

Pants who needs them?
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g160/tricksterpup/theif2T2a.jpg

[Winslow]

Now you're a teacher.

yeah, when I finally start, I'll probably have to drink a 4 margarita at lunch just to get through the day.

Have they started doing something different with zippers? I was just thinking, it's been forever since I've caught the skin of my penis in one.

It gets smaller as you get older.

[tricksterpup]

yeah, when I finally start, I'll probably have to drink a 4 margarita at lunch just to get through the day.

Ah.. teaching Construction workers.. now that will cause you to drink.

[StoneGold]

It gets smaller as you get older.

So I'm assuming that by this point, you've got an innie?

[Ronald Bryan]

So I'm assuming that by this point, you've got an innie?
Actually, it's coming out the back end, now.

[Michael P]

Y'know, if I was Blacula, I bet I'd get really pissed anytime somebody burned a cross on my lawn.

[tricksterpup]

So I'm assuming that by this point, you've got an innie?

So does that make someone like Paradox have a vagina?

[Pól Rua]

See, now that, that sounds like tons more fun than steep slopes!

Well, they SAID it was realistic!

[Winslow]

Ah.. teaching Construction workers.. now that will cause you to drink.

heh . . . . I worked with a superintendent that liked "liquid lunches." Heckuva guy but I got nervous whenever we walked up on some unenclosed steel structure.

So I'm assuming that by this point, you've got an innie?

I have to be more creative when it comes to sex now . . . . but at least those darn zippers don't bother me

[Ronald Bryan]

Y'know, if I was Blacula, I bet I'd get really pissed anytime somebody burned a cross on my lawn.
And if I was Count Chocula, I would get pissed anyone ate Snap, Crackle, Pop around me.

[tricksterpup]

Y'know, if I was Blacula, I bet I'd get really pissed anytime somebody burned a cross on my lawn.

[Winslow]

Actually, it's coming out the back end, now.

So that's what Charles Burns was writing about.

[StoneGold]

I have to be more creative when it comes to sex now . . . . but at least those darn zippers don't bother me

See, I would originally have gone with "years of abuse have given it a tough, calloused, almost leather-like consistency."

[StoneGold]

So that's what Charles Burns was writing about.

I don't know who that is, except it's the first name of the second bad guy from MASH,and the last name of the first bad guy from MASH. So I can only assume his entire existence is to piss off Hawkeye.

[Ronald Bryan]

I don't know who that is, except it's the first name of the second bad guy from MASH,and the last name of the first bad guy from MASH. So I can only assume his entire existence is to piss off Hawkeye.
The twist is, it's the Young Avenger Hawkeye he is destined to piss off.

[Gilda Dent]

Just an attempt at harmless flirting (I have an over-active imagination)

Sorry. Reflex. I seem to be missing the "flirt" gene. I have the chance on rare occasion, but seldom recognize it until afterwards.

[Winslow]

Type in "Black Hole Charles Burns" in the google image search engine.

[Ronald Bryan]

Type in "Black Hole Charles Burns" in the google image search engine.
For some reason, I am resisting the urge to.

[Ronald Bryan]

Oh, that Black Hole.

[Winslow]

Sorry. Reflex. I seem to be missing the "flirt" gene. I have the chance on rare occasion, but seldom recognize it until afterwards.

No problem. :)

I was just clarifying so you wouldn't feel bad. But in doing so I made you feel awkward,

I should give up on flirting too, I suck at it.

[Winslow]

Oh, that Black Hole.

All my good jokes are lost on superhero fans.

*sigh*

Oh I have seen some awkward moments in my life from flirtation.

I have seen worse and done worse myself.

good night?? you haven't said anything in ritas yet.

[StoneGold]

Oh no. I'm the one who sends people to do that, mister!

[StoneGold]

Yowza! Poured some habanero sauce into some gumbo for dinner. That's an eye opener!!!

[Athena Bast]

OMGRRRRRR

When I find the dryer snatcher I'm going to pour bleach on all their clothes.

[Michael P]

That is why I live in a place that allows me to have my own washer and dryer. I don't have to share and wash at 3 am. :D

[Puma]

Evening people. I keep having to remind myself that it is Tuesday and not Sunday.


bloody days off, messing with my internal calendar......hmmmpf



and where's my hoverbike? some future this is.

What's terrible is, tomorrow's Wednesday, and new comics come out on Friday.

I'm gonna be so fucked up on Saturday. And not in the usual, good context in which that sentence is usually said.

[Ronald Bryan]

That is why I live in a place that allows me to have my own washer and dryer. I don't have to share and wash at 3 am. :D
And you get to join Paradox's thread about doing LAUNDRY!

[Winslow]

Wait. Someone stole your entire goddamn dryer?

I'm guessing someone pulled her clothes before they were dry, and then used your dime to dry their own clothes.

I used to hate when that happened.

[tricksterpup]

and where's my hoverbike? some future this is.

http://hight3ch.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/12/HoverBike.jpg

[Athena Bast]

Technically.

There's 1 washer and dryer in the laundry room. My clothes are in the washer. 5 minutes before my laundry ended some ass put their clothes in the dryer.

They broke one of the laundry room rules that are POSTED in the laundry room. Do not put your clothes in the dryer if someone else has clothes in the washer ahead of you.

[StoneGold]

Home Made Gumbo??
Whats in it?

Nope, from the can. It ain't bad, but it needed a bit more spice. Now all my sinuses are open.

[Puma]

What's terrible is, tomorrow's Wednesday, and new comics come out on Friday.

I'm just glad we canceled storytime over the holidays. I don't think I could handle 3 year olds tomorrow.

[Gilda Dent]

No problem. :)

I was just clarifying so you wouldn't feel bad. But in doing so I made you feel awkward,

I should give up on flirting too, I suck at it.

No, it was OK. Even when I thought I was being mocked I didn't think you were being mean.

Either way it was fine.

[K'Nort]

One of our dryers is broken. It runs indefinitely on the first batch of quarters. I hope they never fix it.


Just put some cookies in the oven. Realized a bit late that I had the wrong size sheet so it could be interesting.

[Puma]

These were wet clothes? as if they washed them earlier and left them?

[Winslow]

I have to review files tomorrow.

Yay me.

Beats being unbillable and unpaid (maybe).

[Athena Bast]

ELO, maybe?

Eagles Greatest Hits 2, me'thinks

I haven't picked up new comics in about 2 years now. Wow.. its really a good feeling when you realize how much money you save.

[Puma]

I haven't picked up new comics in about 2 years now. Wow.. its really a good feeling when you realize how much money you save.

I've been weeding down my single issues. I have a small stack from three weeks ago that I haven't even read yet so I think the pull list is going to get even smaller.

[howyadoin]

Eagles Greatest Hits 2, me'thinksHeh. I just realized now that he meant an actual vinyl album, and not an album cover.

[tricksterpup]

It happened to me once at an old place of mine. They had laundry tubs and I just pulled out their dry clothes and put them in the tub and filled it with water. I then kept the dryer running.

I bet it was the white people.

[Puma]

Heh. I just realized now that he meant an actual vinyl album, and not an album cover.

well if we're talking album covers, from that picture I'd think Journey.

[howyadoin]

I've been weeding down my single issues. I have a small stack from three weeks ago that I haven't even read yet so I think the pull list is going to get even smaller.I've dropped a ton of books in the past few months. I'd usually blow about a hundred bucks a week on comics, but now I'm down to between 25 and 50.

[Athena Bast]

These were wet clothes? as if they washed them earlier and left them?

I'm next to the laundry room, no one's done anything in there for a couple hours and there were no clothes in the washer or in the room when I put my clothes in.

Someone washed their whatevers in their apartment or something and put them in the dryer 5 minutes before my wash timer ran out.

Which means I can't get to the dryer at least for another 20 minutes and means my clothes won't be out of the dryer until after 11pm.

With the cops stationed outside my building ATM, I do not want to venture outside my door.

[Gilda Dent]

ELO, maybe?

I discovered while clearing things off our PVR today that some kind soul had recorded Xanadu.

It is so awesomely bad, and I love it so much.

[howyadoin]

well if we're talking album covers, from that picture I'd think Journey.Oh yeah, that could work, too.

[Puma]

I've dropped a ton of books in the past few months. I'd usually blow about a hundred bucks a week on comics, but now I'm down to between 25 and 50.

I'm down to maybe ten series, two will be ending soon (American Virgin and Whedon's Astonishing X Men). But I'm still going to drop one or two more.

and then I'm going through the single issues I have an offer most of them up on CBR like Nikita just did. I need the room and I don't collect, I just read.

[tricksterpup]

I've been weeding down my single issues. I have a small stack from three weeks ago that I haven't even read yet so I think the pull list is going to get even smaller.

I would have to say I save at least $300 a year now due to it and I am being conservative.
I got tired of bitching about comics that were crap but still buy them. I voiced my opinion with my wallet.

[Athena Bast]

Heh. I just realized now that he meant an actual vinyl album, and not an album cover.

I figured as much.

Still, does remind me of the Eagles greatest hits album cover.

[howyadoin]

I figured as much.

Still, does remind me of the Eagles greatest hits album cover.Maybe they could use it for a compilation of ELO, Eagles, Journey and Boston tunes.

[tricksterpup]

More money for good scotch.

[Athena Bast]

It happened to me once at an old place of mine. They had laundry tubs and I just pulled out their dry clothes and put them in the tub and filled it with water. I then kept the dryer running.

I'm planning to take their shit out and leave it lying on the floor.

I bet it was the white people.

I would not be surprised.

[K'Nort]

I discovered while clearing things off our PVR today that some kind soul had recorded Xanadu.

I read that the recent Broadway musical was actually pretty fun. And improved on the movie.

it was so sad seeing Gene Kelly in that, but he did seem to be enjoying himself.

Might I suggest fire?

Rupert is telling me its dinner time. Later folks.

Gene Kelly is a sport, and also a true professional. I have such a hetero man crush on him.

[Winslow]

and then I'm going through the single issues I have an offer most of them up on CBR like Nikita just did. I need the room and I don't collect, I just read.

I only buy trades now.

I keep them to re-read . . but I should go through them and discard* the ones I don't read.

*meaning donate to the library or follow Nikita's lead.

For example, WAKE from NBM should be coming out soon . . so I'll re-read the series before buying the next trade.

That keeps on reminding me. I still have that DG trade to send back to you.

[Athena Bast]

I just put my clothes in the dryer.

Lo and behold the fuck nut left their stuff in their. What was it, you ask?

1 pair of woolen mittens, 1 winter coat, 1 pair of plaid underwear.

So I just joined this new group at Flickr (http://flickr.com): 2008: A Year in Pictures (http://flickr.com/groups/2008ayearinpictures). The gist of it is, you have to post a new photo every day. My plan is to take some kind of textural close-up photo every day, starting with this, the beginning of my newest painting:

You know, Death Sentence would have been a much better movie if the villains weren't so cartoonishly evil. It almost gets the whole moral relativism thing of every side thinks they're right in a war down, except the bad guys are damn near twirling their mustaches.

[Gilda Dent]

ELO, maybe?

Gene Kelly is a sport, and also a true professional. I have such a hetero man crush on him.

Gene Kelly was my first celebrity crush when I was a kid. He just barely beat out Audrey Hepburn.

[StoneGold]

How many fishing trips do you figure Henson and Oz ruined by having little kids yelling out "HERE FISHY FISHY FISHY!!!!" on the boat?

I think my first celebrity crush was batgirl:

I even got dressed up hoping she'd fall for me:

Later all . . going to work tomorrow after almost 2 weeks off is gonna suck.

My friend got me a copy of Wolverine: The Best There Is TPB for Christmas.

Why does he hate me?

As for celebrity crushes, me 'n' a couple friends were disussing that very topic the other night. Mine was Laurie Partrdige.

I'm pretty mine was Gary Sandy from WKRP. I was 4.

Elizabeth Montgomery was a big one for me, too.

[Tadhg]

You're still on the same Ritas? Sheesh.

And I have very poor travel luck. Though I am luckier than everyone else on my cancelled flight. After being buffeted around the Atlanta Airport, we were put on a Flight to Cincinnati where we'd get a connecting flight to South Bend. Of course, that flight was cancelled too, so I rented a car and drove the rest of the way and I'm back in my warm bed while those losers sleep in the airport.

But they are so cute.

Are you naked?

[Gingold]

Happy 2008, fuckers.

...I had one too...

But I'm a lot younger than you -- it was 1989 movie Batman.

[howyadoin]

Happy 2008, fuckers.Right back atcha, Dan. How was New Year's Eve?

[howyadoin]

Too cold. Must eat and sleep for I have work tomorrow. Originally was supposed to be home at noon.

[Gingold]

Right back atcha, Dan. How was New Year's Eve?

Dull as dishwater. We'd just got back from a week with my family in Massachusetts and decided to stay in. How 'bout yours?

[Lee in Limbo]

*waves to Howyadoin and Puma and Paradox and anyone else in this place who remembers me* Happy New Year!

Warm up, smash some computers, feel better.

Didn't get a hangover.

594 posts to go.. not going to make it.

I really need to get a picture of my friend Elvis online because you guys a like twin brothers from different mothers.

[Lee in Limbo]

Been a long time, Lee. How's the world been treatin' you?Kinda passively, actually. Been doing freelance graphics for the past few years, but I really need to get some new clientele. Main client I've been doing business with has been paying me to do basically nothing, which helps keep the bills paid, but makes life around here surreal.

In other news, I also got married, which I'm not sure I mentioned the last time I was in. It's been a while, hasn't it? She's a gal from New York who decided to get involved with me after my meltdown back in 2003. She's been living with me for the last few years, and she still seems to love me, so I think that's working out alright.

I wrote a book last year, which I'm trying to get published now. Sword and Sorcery stuff, not really my genre, but it just came out like that. I've been trying to develop a few video games, one of which is on semi-permanent hiatus, but the other two seem to be moving along nicely enough, I think. And I'm back to writing and recording music, which I haven't done seriously in a while, even though I got the band back together for a bit a year or so ago. None of these is making me money at the moment, however.

Anyway, really glad to see you're still at it, though. How have you been?

Anyway, really glad to see you're still at it, though. How have you been?Not too bad, sir. Nothing big to report; the past year or so has mainly been about work and painting. I've been swamped with work, which was good, 'cause 2006 was horrible workwise. And I've really plowed into acrylics in 2007. I've done 15 paintings on either canvas or wood panels. A big step from how I used to composite my stuff in Photoshop.

And I hear ya about getting paid to do nothing. I've got a couple clients like that, and the boredom level makes for some loooooooooonnng fuckin' days.

Oh, and congrats.

[Athena Bast]

thunder yet no lightning... this does bode well

[Royal]

Oh, there will be lightning.

There...will be.

[Royal]

BTW, Happy Public Domain Day.

[howyadoin]

I think I'll fuck off for awhile.

Later, kids.

[Spike-X]

I'm glad I only had 2 drinks last night. I'd hate to think what I'd feel like if I had more.

2 drinks over 5 hours... god I suck.

That was you on two drinks?

goddamn, and I thought I was a lightweight!

[Paradox]

Winslow looks like a celeb!:

http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c103/WinslowSolomon/Batman_Winslow.jpg

I've never mentioned it, but I've always thought you bore a striking resemblance in that picture to Drew Barrymore. :p

[Paradox]

And, ahhh, first celebrity crushes. Here's mine. :)

[Gilda Dent]

Spike, I'll relay your answers to Molly after we both get home tomorrow.

It's 2:30 here. I've taken a Valium and I still can't sleep. I have to be at work in four and a half hours. I'd normally be up in two and a half hours, but that isn't happening.

Nerves and staying up until four last night has really thrown me off today.

I'm going to be a zombie tomorrow.

[Paradox]

Lee in Limbo wanders in from the cold:

*waves to Howyadoin and Puma and Paradox and anyone else in this place who remembers me* Happy New Year!

Wow! Certainly do! Welcome back, man! I'm a "recent returnee" as well.

[howyadoin]

http://www.mysteryisland.net/laura.jpgI wasn't really aware of that show when it was on. So I missed all the controversy over Mary wearing pants on television.

Athena Bast needs some physics:

Oh, there was lightning. You just didn't see it.

[howyadoin]

howyadoin is just a pup:

Yeah, well I do have a few years on ya, youngster. ;)

And it wasn't JUST pants. Tight fitting capri pants! That she wiggled around in! :eek:

Probably destroyed a whole generation's moral fiber! :p

http://img236.imageshack.us/img236/4320/capripants2wg3.jpgYeah, I saw some retrospective on that show about ten years ago. It was weird to see that MTM could be controversial.

It was even weirder to see that she has such a spectacular ass.

[Spike-X]

I like being in Rita's after 5000. It's like being in the store after closing.
*breaks out the space hoppers and goes looking for Jennifer Connolly*

Found her!

No worries. She seems like a good kid.

Oh, cripes. Just keep telling yourself, "It's only eight hours...it's only eight hours..."

The what, now?

My God, people were uptight in the olden days.

[howyadoin]

The what, now?

My God, people were uptight in the olden days.Yeah, they were up in arms, apparently. All because of a nice ass in tight pants.

God knows what they must've thought about The Misfits.

[Spike-X]

God knows what they must've thought about The Misfits.

From what I hear, they only liked the stuff from when Glenn Danzig was their lead singer.

Jeannie was one of my first crushes, too. Can't say I've ever seen her from that angle, though.

[howyadoin]

From what I hear, they only liked the stuff from when Glenn Danzig was their lead singer.Can't believe I walked into that joke.

[Gilda Dent]

No worries. She seems like a good kid.



Oh, cripes. Just keep telling yourself, "It's only eight hours...it's only eight hours..."

Plus, most of the day is scheduled for planning time, so I can take a little nappy poo in my office.

I've never had an office at work before. I think I like this part of my new job.

[howyadoin]

I've never had an office at work before. I think I like this part of my new job.I've never had one either, but if I did there'd be a sleeping bag under the desk.

[Paradox]

howyadoin calls up the double standard:

Yeah, they were up in arms, apparently. All because of a nice ass in tight pants.

God knows what they must've thought about The Misfits.

Oh, that was OK, because the uptight crowd already considered Marilyn a whore.

But this was a suburban MOM! How DARE they?

Still did that stupid separate beds thing, though.

[Paradox]

Bippity-boppity bump.
