The weirdest thing, Whacky et al, is that my mother actually told me how funny she thought this one was.

And usually she can't stand what she calls the "short, stupid ones".

Wow, TAPS.
I don't quite know how to respond to that.

Thanks for stopping by, 9457sue.

As I am also so happy that you enjoyed it as well, Hazel.

Thanks, Offy.
I'm glad you liked it.

Oh My!
A smile from me and a WOOF! and smile from Bo! =^..^=

Well, I had just gotten out of the shower, Rcky ...
and was (obliviously) walking in there to make myself a bagel.

A bit edgy are we Madame?....LOL

I'm not sure it even needed to be fixed, riri.

At least not until he started working on it.

posted by Mademoiselle on May 17, 2007 at 4:54 AM | link to this | reply

Oh, shut up, Saul.

He was hardly my type.

posted by Mademoiselle on May 17, 2007 at 4:52 AM | link to this | reply

Hopefully not, Enigmatic.

posted by Mademoiselle on May 17, 2007 at 4:51 AM | link to this | reply

No, though my nerves were a bit frayed, Kabu.

However, I felt better after I drank a glass of water.

posted by Mademoiselle on May 17, 2007 at 4:50 AM | link to this | reply

Though, bandana, I think that might be some sort of a violation, actually.

Of what exactly, I'm not sure.

posted by Mademoiselle on May 17, 2007 at 4:47 AM | link to this | reply

did the wiring get fixed????

Shocking, Mademoiselle. You should really try eHarmony...

Well, he probably didn't want to have kids, anyway!

mademoiselle how were you to know?
Did you need an ambulance?

posted by Kabu on May 16, 2007 at 3:49 PM | link to this | reply

that strange, huh?
Then I think you should post it, too.

posted by bandanafish on May 16, 2007 at 1:45 PM | link to this | reply

I'm strongly considering posting it, actually.

What "wisdom"? What did he say?

posted by bandanafish on May 16, 2007 at 11:41 AM | link to this | reply

Too late, Strat ... he already left.

Though not without imparting a bit of "wisdom". It was the single most bizarre conversation I've ever had.

Now, I don't know whether to be horrified or mortified.

Just tell him it's a new topical treatment for
erectile dysfunction. Not only will he not know what topical is, he won't know dysfunction either. So you will have completely petrified the poor old bastard both with a swift roundhouse kick and an intellectual barrage.

Of course, he may just be a 27 year old heavy smoker.

Few legends do, Scriber ...
That's why they're called "legends".

posted by Mademoiselle on May 16, 2007 at 10:04 AM | link to this | reply

Re: I'd say that legend would not stand up to test.

posted by scriber on May 16, 2007 at 9:54 AM | link to this | reply

That's a strange legend... a moral story maybe?
p.s. what's this "it" you are talking about? I just can't figure it out.

posted by bandanafish on May 16, 2007 at 9:52 AM | link to this | reply

Then here's a novel suggestion, bandana:
Go get something to eat.

posted by Mademoiselle on May 16, 2007 at 9:50 AM | link to this | reply

How you manage to be so gentle AND not in one little comment.
At any rate, I am so hungry.

posted by bandanafish on May 16, 2007 at 9:47 AM | link to this | reply

Actually, Scriber, according to the legend, it got stuck and he was unable to pull it back out.

And thus, he was no longer able to go the bathroom. So he died.

posted by Mademoiselle on May 16, 2007 at 9:47 AM | link to this | reply

I know, bandana. I was just playing.

 

P.S. Probably the "transvestite" you were initially thinking of, actually.

posted by Mademoiselle on May 16, 2007 at 9:44 AM | link to this | reply

Re: died from low blows...possible i guess. I've been hit low a few times,
Didn't die, just wish I had for a few minutes. 

posted by scriber on May 16, 2007 at 9:44 AM | link to this | reply

Geez, for the last time, I'm NOT little!
So who did I sound like?

(I didn't mean you would take offense to that. I meant whoever might be reading this... I'm just considerate like that.)


posted by bandanafish on May 16, 2007 at 9:42 AM | link to this | reply

Men have died from that, Scriber.

There's a famous Russina urban legend involving a ballet dancer and her cheating spouse.

posted by Mademoiselle on May 16, 2007 at 9:40 AM | link to this | reply

Re: rethink priorities--duh, it's not like dying for love.

posted by scriber on May 16, 2007 at 9:38 AM | link to this | reply

Why would I take offense at that, bandana?

You androgynous little person you.

posted by Mademoiselle on May 16, 2007 at 9:36 AM | link to this | reply

who?
A transvestite? (No offense intended.)

posted by bandanafish on May 16, 2007 at 9:34 AM | link to this | reply

Then you need to rethink your priorities, Scriber.

posted by Mademoiselle on May 16, 2007 at 9:33 AM | link to this | reply

You know who you sounded like just then, bandana?

posted by Mademoiselle on May 16, 2007 at 9:32 AM | link to this | reply

Yeah! Whatever! Nothing to be proud of when a 2342-year-old guy
having a crush on you. If he's younger, it's a whole differently story then.

p.s. now? My dreams yesterday (one of them was really sweet) weren't very detailed.


posted by bandanafish on May 16, 2007 at 9:31 AM | link to this | reply

I'd take a kick in the nuts for love.

Re: I'm not sure I can even be friends with you anymore, bandana.
We are just like little people (who are just like big people), except we do things, yet, a little differently. I demand you to be my friend.

posted by bandanafish on May 16, 2007 at 9:28 AM | link to this | reply

Do it now.

This guy still hasn't left yet, btw.

I think he loves me.

posted by Mademoiselle on May 16, 2007 at 9:27 AM | link to this | reply

I'm planning to update my blog while
you... cable ready people something... go watch your fancy little cable tv!

I'm not sure I can even be friends with you anymore, bandana.

posted by Mademoiselle on May 16, 2007 at 9:22 AM | link to this | reply

shush!
It's not that big of a deal! Some people just don't watch tv and stuff...

I have better things to do anyways!

Are you watching the "Australia's Next Top Model" marathon, bandana?

posted by Mademoiselle on May 16, 2007 at 9:11 AM | link to this | reply

Re: Of course, fortunately, bandana, I didn't actually connect.
1) Yes, I recall that. In Judo, correct? Master Googoogaga.

2) With six toes in each foot.

3) I know. It gets tricky when they pass 109... they all start to look the same.



posted by bandanafish on May 16, 2007 at 9:07 AM | link to this | reply

Of course, fortunately, bandana, I didn't actually connect.

Seeing as he'd be dead.

Considering the following:

1) I have a black belt.

2) I am (as you know) a pretty tall girl with fairly long legs.

3) He's roughly 800 years old.

posted by Mademoiselle on May 16, 2007 at 9:01 AM | link to this | reply

Whew, I'm glad you are safe!
Couldn't imagine what would happen if you didn't kick him (as an early warning).

Correction:

"Electrician" not "maintenance man".

Apparently, these guys are quite sensitive about that.

posted by Mademoiselle on May 16, 2007 at 8:25 AM | link to this | reply

You're welcome, Mysteria ...

I actually have an even more substantial post (hard as that may be to imagine) planned for later.

However, right now, I have to keep one eye on this (supposed) "maintenance man".

posted by Mademoiselle on May 16, 2007 at 8:23 AM | link to this | reply

Actually, it's 11:18 AM here, Foliage.

I took an early leave from school because I had more important business to attend to (a marathon of "Australia's Next Top Model" is on today).

Is that what you did?  Oh dear.  Too early this morning, was it?

Good morning, Foliage.
You mean other than assaulting maintenance men?
