Glad I cleared that up, Tattered.

LOL.That explains it then!!!

I think "Mr." is his first name, Tattered.

Actually, Offy, this conversation, though small in word count, lasted nearly half-an-hour.

Those "..."s were really long.

That's one word for it, anyways, Proc.

mademoiselle
A conversation like that happens with a neighbor when you call them Mr. or Mrs. or Miss whatever their last name is. Maybe you all would have more to say if you were on a first name basis?

I wish my conversations with Stella were this brief...

Its called awkward small talk....

"Yes" to what, bandana?

posted by Mademoiselle on September 11, 2007 at 4:38 PM | link to this | reply

Oh, funny. You forgot to say "yes".

*ahem* "Voice over" I mean.

posted by bandanafish on September 11, 2007 at 4:31 PM | link to this | reply

Well, I thought a little voice was necessary here.
No big deal, really. I mean, I guess you can say I'm a humorous person. So what say you? I'm free tomorrow night.

OMG, bandana ...

That was really funny.

The suspense is killing me! So is A-and-B going to read your post tonight??

posted by bandanafish on September 11, 2007 at 4:23 PM | link to this | reply

Um, I'm going to post the explanation, A + B.

posted by Mademoiselle on September 11, 2007 at 4:20 PM | link to this | reply

What's going to happen at midnight? I'm not staying up so late. Can you tell me now?

posted by A-and-B on September 11, 2007 at 4:18 PM | link to this | reply

Hey, A + B.
This post will make more sense around midnight.

No.

Btw, that was very un-PC of you, bandana.
The appropriate term is "loony bin".

Who's to say my house isn't a mental hospital, bandana?

posted by Mademoiselle on September 11, 2007 at 3:51 PM | link to this | reply

Yes

posted by ModernBoz on September 11, 2007 at 3:39 PM | link to this | reply

Actually, I was thinking maybe he was in some mental
hospital close to your house.

So how you like 911? Have I ever told you any mental hospital jokes before?

posted by bandanafish on September 11, 2007 at 2:13 PM | link to this | reply

Maybe I meant barbed wire around my neighbor's house, bandana?

And maybe by "away" I meant "in prison"?

...

But I didn't.

posted by Mademoiselle on September 11, 2007 at 2:09 PM | link to this | reply

Are these clues to solving the post?
Because it reads rather mysterious to me.

Barbed wire around your uncle's house? Do you guys bark when people walk by? That'd be pretty funny.

posted by bandanafish on September 11, 2007 at 2:00 PM | link to this | reply

Yes, riri, this one was quite suspenseful.

posted by Mademoiselle on September 11, 2007 at 1:43 PM | link to this | reply

Several reasons, bandana:

1) The houses are rather far apart. (And note I said "neighbor", not "next-door neighbor".)

2) He was away for a while (during which the package was presumably sent).

3) The barbed wire.

i chewed off all my nails!!!!

I don't understand. Why did your NEIGHBOR send you
guys a package? Why couldn't he just bring it over?

Exactly, Le divorce ...

It's impossible to manufacture this sort of tense, gripping drama!

posted by Mademoiselle on September 11, 2007 at 12:31 PM | link to this | reply

I was in so much suspense, I was on the edge of my seat!
What were you going to say next? Oh the agony!

Editor's note:

"No one will understand this one at all," warned my best friend, Manon.

"Oh, sure they will." I replied.

The strange thing, Dolls, is that he always asks how do I "like" the weather ...

When the weather is obviously horrible.

Madamoiselle
Strange things conversations with neighbours - mine all seem to revolve around the weather but I am British so that's the done thing!
