Cufflinks! For me? Thank you!
*admires cufflinks*
Wow! She even waxed them to a glossy shine!
That froo, always with the thoughtful gifts.
indeed… the small fleshy kind…
Are there any better types?
Now that… that’s a thing of beauty. No, not the testicles – that’s a no-muck-around approach indeed. Did you perhaps refine The Pencil Trick?
Cheech and Chong: The Reunion Movie.
” Dude ! Where’s my Treasury ?”
Wuuut?
Oh wow! Wait, what? Did I say something?
Whoa! *ponders concept of “saying” something*
Oooh, iif you say the word “something” seven or so times
it sounds sillier and sillier …
*tries to follow pittypat’s recommendation, but loses count*
Maybe I had something on my mind… woah… imagine if something could really be “on”… my -mind-…! *random giggle fit*
Does anybody have any cookies?
*passes brownies and canned whipped cream*
Here. Just don’t forget to chew…
*grabs whipped cream and sprays directly into mouth* Yum.
Dave’s not here man!
C’mon, Dave–Open up!! I think the cops saw me!
I mean, who would have noticed another madman round here?
Did anyone hear a voice? It sounded like someone talking…
We’re all mad here.
*swatting imaginary flies*
Get away!! The End is nigh!! The End is Nigh!!

Bill Nye?? Where??
…In bed. This comment was just begging for it.

I have an evil insatiable fetish for skinny nerds!
… Luckily Lynn has an obsession with pudgy jackasses or I would get no love.
Same with my husband. I am fortunate to find the one skinny nerd with a liking for roundish annoying butches.
How do you know I’m mad?
It’s the way I talk to myself and have no idea who’s answering back.
Wow… The other rhorho didn’t catch the Alice in Wonderland theme.
She’s not very bright…
Yay, you got it! I was afraid I’d been too obscure.
*vanishes, leaving a smile*
And new cufflinks.
*reappears*
*grabs cufflinks*
The precious! Mine!
*vanishes*
Damn….Damn I say!
I’ve had it with your off the cuff remarks.
*cuffs pittypat*
*lmn ates pdq*
Oh god, not again…
*poofs*
You must be obscure, or you wouldn’t have come here.
Just too obscure with myself. It’s part of the madness.
Hey, my first name-hijacker! How sweet. I’m flattered.
Are you sure you were hijacked? I thought I was
hijacked earlier, but now am not so sure…
Possibly. But then, it could have been my split personality again. She always adds in her two-cents at the most inopportune times.
Tell me about it!
*smacks other personality* You. Back to whence you came. No cookie.
Now, now! You two need to get along.
*gives two cookies to Kuro: one for her,
and one to share with herself*
I hadn’t read it until very recently – my grandmother had a VERY old one in her collection, possibly a first-run, with her own lead-pencil scribbling in it. That’s a drug-trip of a book, that really, really is. Brilliant, but I didn’t enjoy it as much as I thought I might.
Can’t remember the reference…
One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small…
And the pills that mother gives you…
Don’t do anything at all…
Yay – Grace Slick [Link]
…and another [LINK]
Back when she had the ear wax trouble… ;¬>
Grace Slick – wow I’m suddenly back in college. what I remember of it.
The colors.. are so…colory!!!!!
I can smell blue!
Whoa there…
No White Rabbit references in a non-Vietnam thread. So sayeth Oliver Stone.
OK then; “I love the smell of napalm in the morning…”
Happy, Oliver!?
Oh wow. I love old books. That must have been an amazing find. I agree, though–if Carroll wasn’t on something when he wrote that, I truly applaud his imagination.
It’s in truly appalling condition – about thirty years ago an air-con unit had a problem and basically dumped a huge amount of water over a book-case. This one wasn’t lucky. I’m getting the chief librarian at Moore Theological to see what he knows about a) first-runs of Carroll, and b) how to restore. Don’t care if it’s worth fifty cents or fifty-grand. This book won’t leave my hands until I’ve got understanding grandkids.
Once they’ve studied Reeling and Writhing, of course,
to begin with, and then the different branches of
arithmetic — Ambition, Distraction, Uglification,
and Derision.
I think I need your type of calculator there. Love it!
It’s curiouser and curiouser…
I grew up with my mother’s annotated ‘Alice’. The annotations are as fascinating as the source material. Wild stuff!
@ OMG–yeah, some books are worth restoring.
A booklover after me own heart! No matter the condition, a book like that is a treasure. I have an ancient first-ed of Kim that will not leave my withered paws despite it not being worth much; I LOVE that story!
Get hold of the Just So Stories, read them to children. If you both walk down the street reciting “How The Whale Got His Throat” then life will indeed be good.
They will never understand.
Seriously.
You’ll be lookin’ down from the clouds, as they sell it on for peanuts in a garage sale.
Have faith. My grandmother may well have thought that of our generation once or twice, but she raised us better than that. Up to us to keep the Love Of Book going. If you can teach the difference between values and market values, you will have done an excellent job.
Was she the same grandmother you told us
about, who died a year ago?
The very same. Granny Meg to the world in general. Had a wicked penchant for blowing up paper bags in inappropriate places. Writing a eulogy both worthy and appropriate was not the work of a moment, and giving it was one of the lowest and highest points of my life. Everybody deserves to have someone like her in their lives at some point.
We can’t have Grannies forever, but you are
lucky to have the memories you do. Not
everybody gets to have a Granny who was
such a corker! I still love the “which one of
you had the heart attack” story.
I think what Carroll WANTED to be on was pre-adolescent girls, but since the end result was the things like the Walrus and the Carpenter and the Jabberwocky, I’ll not complain.
I received that less-than-savoury impression on the first chapter or two, but I kinda let it go…
I think it was that slightly blackened undertone that never quite allowed me to relax into enjoying the book. There’s nothing you could put a finger on (don’t you dare say it, Unc) directly, unless you follow Maxwell’s theory further down, but there was something there that was a little more creepy than I was expecting.
The inspiration is drawn in part from dark places, but the reader has the privilege of exploring those same dark places without taking the risk the author has. Put another way, the reader gets to go on chemical vacation without having to “pay for the trip.”
It’s easily argued that one learns more from edgy reading topics than from gentle ones.
IIR, he was on laudanum when he wrote it. Am I recalling correctly?
Yes, according to this source [LINK]:
-
If I also recall correctly, laudanum was prescribed as a cure for headaches, or something. (I’m desperately trying to remember my British Lit classes from college)
According to the link, it was prescribed for
everything, even given to babies!
I’m looking forward to reading the link – unless it was this ‘un.
My bad – I should’ve read above more carefully.
*Pictures the Wicked Witch of the West rubbing hands, muttering “poppies” with a wistful smile…*
I have multiple personality disorder
No you don’t
yes I do
Shut up, all of you…
No! Let’s all argue!!
Freaky!!!
I thought that nice young man said they were shiitake mushrooms…
Shut up Cybil! I hate you! I hate you!!!!!!
Wow! I’ve been name hijacked…oh wait…maybe I haven’t…hmmmm…
C-C-C-Combo….. psychotic breaker?
Just a little sidenote since we’re bringing the strangely pedophilic(sp?) Alice in Wonderland into this. The March Hare… a strange fellow. Because male rabbits go
into the female equivalent of “heat” in March. They become jittery, and often behave almost as if they were insane, trying to mate constantly with just about everything.
So the next time you watch Alice in Wonderland or read Through The Looking Glass… try not to notice that odd, hard determined stare that the March Hare has… and how often he looks at Alice
You somehow made the story better for me… Bwahahahaha.
The fun part, I played the March Hare in our theatre production, and the director
gave me that as character note… in private…. and told me not to tell anyone
that was my inspiration… I made Alice feel VERY uncomfortable.
O_O
Speaking of, I was telling my English teacher about this section of the thread (because of course 12th grade lit is code for “sex education”), and he said that it’s thought that Lewis Carroll had an–erm–inappropriate interest in the real-life Alice. Just a footnote.
Note to self: not many ‘Blackadder Goes Forth’ fans on PK…
I love “Blackadder.” (You remind me of the character, in fact.) I just don’t have it memorized.
Wuss…
I own em all on VHS. face it, Goes Forth jsut isn’t watched as much as the Victorian or Prince episodes
I love Blackadder! And his trusty companion with the cunning plan – Baldrick? Balderdash?
A friend gave me the book, Black Adder: The Whole Damn Dynasty.
It contains all of the scripts from all four seasons. I had some episode
collections on VHS, but they’re probably all out on DVD by now.
Carp! Italics fail–sorry!
Trout!
Haddock!
I flounder…
Tilapia?
(Not to break up the puns), but did you know that Tilapia is a type of ciclid, which I have many of in a fish tank in my house? Tilapia are considered trash nusance fish, while Oscars are desirable ‘house fish’. Related to the piranha. I don’t have the Oscars anymore…..they got big, laid eggs, and got mean, but I have a bunch of African ciclids that are just beautiful.

Now back to your regularly scheduled puns.

STINGRAY!
Tell that to the Steve Erwi- …. aww I made myself sad with that one..
Nope – you’re welcome to take all the swipes at Steve Bloody Erwin as you like. He was a charming idiot, who, post-shuffling-off-mortal-coil, seemed to be elevated above Mother Theresa. A year before his death he was ridiculed, lampoones and generally treated by the Australian media as a charming meathead. [Link] For some reason, we aren’t permitted to remember him as such – he must be immortalized better than he really was.
Yeah, well, the tall poppy thing is fine until it lands on Flander’s field. Then folks get dewy eyed and maudlin.
Irwin, in terms of his knowledge of cold blooded Australian fauna was pretty good. He was also a founder member of the Australian Vertical ‘Mountain’ Rescue, who specialised in getting people out of those benighted inverted ‘V’ gullies that seem to have no discernible bottom.
If he’d cut the barb off, rather than tried to pull it out to save the fish, he’d still be alive (and mocked) today.
I liked him.
No doubt he was likeable – he used to make me laugh a lot, and, as you say, his knowledge was formidable. But he was still a bloody idiot (you can be likeable, smart and an idiot… they are not contradictory), and it’s somewhat less than honest to blank out some of his stupidity post-mortem.
The Poms had that with Di, didn’t they? (Being mindful of your own views of her and seatbelts…)
Oh indeed they did. To evince my opinion about the vacuous, bony, waste of resource until well after 4th Qtr 1998 was to invite a knife fight.
I’d agree, with humans, Irwin was more than a bit of an idiot. However, his handling of the domestic (in the sense of Australian Reptilia) animals that were his core expertise was done with their best interests at heart, rather than it simply being ‘good’ television. I still wince at him carrying that boa.
and his death showed just how badly things can turn out when you’re REALLY out of your environment. I’m no underwater biologist, but I know that is something has a ‘barb’ you cut if off and get help, not pull it out.
My children loved th Croc Hunter and I have to admit, I watched (although it was the kind of like watching a car race just hoping for a crash)…But I still say that he whole “Bindi the Jungle Girl” thing reeks of, well…
When she gets old enough to smell “manipulation” (or even spell it) there’s going to be tears for someone.
I remember being dazed and amazed at
Bindi’s demeanor shortly after her father’s
death, especially during her eulogy. It was
sad to witness, in a way, as it wasn’t clear
whether she understood the permanence
of his departure.
How old was she? That’s a big thing for a kid to grasp, that Daddy’s not coming back. Poor thing.
She had just turned eight at the time. That
sounds old enough to comprehend death,
but (to me) not to understand its true impact.
I lost interest in Steve Irwin back in 2004,
when he held his baby son, Bob, while
feeding a crocodile. [LINK] He may have
accumulated much in the way of animal
knowledge, but P.T. Barnum he wasn’t!
Baldrick.
Cup of coffee, Darling?
I gots some marvy Mocha Java for Christmas – care for a cup? Just a pinch of cardamon?
Recidivus? “They’ve got a name for people like you, H.I. That name is called “recidivism.”
And yes, pleeeze on the marvy Mocha Java!
Alas, I have been once more lmn ated. How many lives DO we get? I gotta check my cards…
You can buy more cards on eBay, you know…
Ooh. Cappuccino.
And a rubber button is…?
Wait! Wait! …. what?
*continues chasing that damn penguin*
Chasing the penguin… Is that like shampooing the bat? Chasing the dragon except you’re snorting anchovy paste?
Billy Madison chasing the penguin? Have you ever seen that movie?
Missed it… Why does he chase a penguin? And I still want to see what “chasing the penguin” could be a euphemism for!
I think he’s extremely drunk or stoned… dunno. It’s hilarious though, he sees him all throughout the movie.
As far as the euphemism goes… you got me.
He’s extremely drunk, as he is throughout most of the movie. He keeps chasing the damn penguin around trying to catch it.
-
O’Doyle RULES!!!!
I like how he sees it in Veronica’s apartment having drinks with her. So random.
“They don’ts gotsta know about it. It could be OUR milk.”
It’s too damn hot for a penguin to be walking around here! I gotta get you back to the south pole.
Shampoo is better, no conditioner is better.
Stop looking at me, Swan!!!
Miss Lippy’s car… is green.
And if either of you cheats, like my wife, who is a dirty, dirty whore……well, I am just gonna snap.
Jane my dear… I require tutoring Billy Madison style
Sounds like it’s toilet related………
Anything like “Spanking the monkey”?
“Chasing the dragon” refers to cooking/inhaling opiates, so might “chasing the penguin” involve some other substance?
well…. penguins live in the south pole.. which still has lots of snow *damn global warming* so maybe cocaine?
*returns to chasing the damn penguin*
Imma get him this time.
*watches CW chase imaginary penguin*
Look out! You’re headed straight for that…*CRASH*
Oops. That’s gonna hurt tomorrow…
Doooood.
*tries to walk off two broken legs*
Blast! We shall meet again Penguin.
Is that it? Did the penguin tell you to do that?
At night, the penguins creep in through the cracks in the walls and steal my sanity…
is that where it went?
That’s what the voices tell me… between screaming ‘KILL! KILL THEM ALLL! and laughing a lot. It gets so VERY tedious… they’re such poor conversationalists.
I know! You keep trying to start up different conversations… for instance:
So, this economy sucks
KILL THEM ALL BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
What are you hobbies?
KILL THEM ALL BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
….Because they’re FAST.
The penguin did tell me things. ebil things….
Lucky you… all I seem to get them to talk about is herring…
They have herring problems??
What? Speak up, ya frickin veggie zombie!!
He’s here all week. I can recommend Hilary Briss’ ‘Alex’s Meat Bologna’
GRAAAIIINNNSSS!!! *moan*
He, when’d you upgrade from ghost to zombie anyway?
I think pittypat zapped her with some sort of
device…
I’d say that’s a downgrade in my opinion.
Hmpf. Just for that, I’ll put you on my menu
*wanders off moaning,’GRAAIINNS!!!’*
I have a feeling I would be so much more amused if I actually understood all the cultural references/insanity/etc. Sigh. I feel so young.
The world is big and I am small D:
Foetus!
The lady in the back looks like she’s the stoned one.
Fester, I cmae back to admire those cufflinks – the gleam off them! Like a light of Paradise! I went toward the light and *poof* look where I land…
CAME back, you flappin’ cretin!
How many of us are in here cringing over the typos? Raise your hands, please, and count off.
More like ‘how many of us are in here cringing over the obvious plagiarism?’
Your death was not mourned much, but your ressurection is certainly regretted.
Wow–I need to stop huffing paint, or at least cut down. It’s not like I *need* the stuff…
Oh for cry-yi… WILL you put that aerosol can DOWN!! You could at least not snork it so directly – the gold paint on your face makes you look like a flappin’ Cirque de Soleil wannabe.
*sigh* That’s what zombies get! Here I am, vegetarian zombie, and all I get is abuse…
Does “vegetarian zombie” mean you can only eat the brains of
people propped up on life support?
Nah. *GRAAAAAIIINNNSSSS!!*
*rimshot*
Meanwhile, I’ve been catching up on previous pics. I missed a HELL of a lot of hilarity – I’m sitting here wiping my eyes and hooting loud enough to cause the cats to wander through to see what’s up. Damn and blast, bless my garters & FOO!! I could almost sulk if I weren’t so sure there’d be more coming.
Happy New Year, btw, and muchas smooches!
Muchas smooches to you, whoever you are, on whatever life
plane you are…
*offers zombie pdq a whole-GRAAAIIINNN brownie*
It’s the Question of the Week at our home: my son asks, if vegetarians eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat? and I nom him. The boy would taste much, much better having had a bath. With garlic.
LOL!! “Would you like the lamb, or the kid?”
Faugh, MPD isn’t supposed to be contagious.
Another county heard from. I’m ceceding from this overcrowded skull.
*tremendous tearing, grating sounds & screams*
Oh no you don’t! That rug STAYS! *whacking sounds*
Someone went to socks-r-us today..
There was a sale on. I got the toe socks I’ve been desiring since my childhood.
Response fail
*reads thread… backs away slowly*
Can I hide behind you? I am a little afraid? Confused? not high enough? for this….
Sure, we can have our sobriety powwow and watch our drinks very carefully since I don’t trust anybody here. *sips drink inside my safety bubble*
*hallucinates tail; chases it, causing safety bubble to roll around*
huh, a deathwurmhamsterbubble.
wyyyyyyyrm. sorryyyyyyy.
*remains safe but slightly more paranoid with a stoned vegetarian zombie outside*
Lemme guess…another name-jacking?
Name-jacking is painful if you don’t use the correct technique…i think there’s a penguin involved somehow…hmmm…
Penguins are involved in everything; it’s axiomatic. They’re like Templars… or maybe they ARE Templars!! *gasp!* That’s IT!!!
Pretty much. During these hours, I always have my name link. And I try to be consistent…
Embarassingly enough, it was me the whole time under my name – except for the crack about huffing. I really have no idea of what exactly I thought I was doing… perhaps it’s time to find something to ease the stress. Too much of familial angst & drama is wearing on the ol’ neurons.
Heh, I sympathize. No harm, no foul.
*watches, eyes widening, pupils dialting; suddenly pounces and whacks ball*
*suddenly feels the need to groom butt*

Furses! Coiled again! *twirls moustache*
*****GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENT***********
My daughter’s foot will not need any surgery and they will be removing the cast in two weeks. Thank you to all who were so kind and concerned.
Sincerely, MG
YAY!!
Yay! That’s good.
Good to hear! I know she’s got to be about tired of the cast by now.
Big kiss to that clever little gosling.
This was the WallMart fiasco, right? Did the store pay?
Yes, believe it or not…and they gave her a $500 Gift Card which she donated to Toys-for Tots…made her parents extremely proud…*pats self on back*
Aww, that’s awesome! *hugs MG’s daughter* I bet she made some kids very happy this Christmas.
Well-deserved!
Damn… there you go, shaking my faith in Human Nature when I’d just got it all tidied up to ‘They’re all scum. Every last one!’…
Dropping the ‘Fester’ mask (make a note, I don’t do this often)
Good she doesn’t need surgery. Amazing Wal*Mart offered a cent. Good for her seeing to the less fortunate out of her misfortune.
That just about made me cry. That is so sweet. Yay for your daughter! She sounds great!
Two congratulations are in order, mothergoose. One, for the foot and good healing. Two, for you (and possibly a daddygoose gets a little cred?) – you raised that one right. Well done. Well done. Anyone who can dent Fester’s festerness by simply being herself deserves all the blessings that can be bestowed… and so do the ones that raised her.
Woot *from DWN hamster ball*
Oh hell, I’ve been out of the loop for so long I had no idea – glad to hear it!! Excellent news!
Yeahz!!!!
Hooray!
Did anyone else notice that there appears to be a Buffy Sainte-Marie lookalike in that picture… also looking stoned…
Yes, but I was thinking she looked like Winona LaDuke.
I can see that…
Someone noted the stoner-gal somewhere above… Siona?
They’re both Native American, and both have those beautiful, wide
cheekbones. On closer inspection, I think your likeness is closer,
especially through the nose. LaDuke has a more prominent nose hump,
and a narrower face than Sainte-Marie.
Either way, I would be surprised if the lady in the photo weren’t Native
American.
“I swear to God it was THIS BIG!!”
“Dude, no way!!”
A Trillion here, a Trillion there, pretty soon it adds up to some real money.
