I love the desert. I lived in Las Vegas for three years and in Santa Fe, NM for three years as well. The harshness of the environment is juxtaposed by the serene tranquility of the atmosphere. I just feel, I guess "spiritually enlarged" is a good way to put it, out in the desert.

Bingo. Yep, that's it.

Spiritual enlargement must be a euphemism for being hot and cranky.

speaking of some what obscure sci-fi,.. Have you ever heard of an audio sci-fi series [ RUBY 2 ]. I was reminded of it because there is a snitch named " Rodent " or " Rodant " as he pronounces it, in the story.

Ranger Genius · Post by **Ranger Genius** » Sun Feb 06, 2005 8:19 pm

Not familiar with it, but the Rodent might be. Never could get into Dr. Who. I was just bored by it.

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Sun Feb 06, 2005 8:22 pm

Back in the day I watched Dr. Who I was pretty much stoned most of the time, I'm sure that enhanced it a bit.

Heard of, never heard. comes up in conversation with ubergeeks every now and then.

Apparently "rodent'"'s only dialogue is "eep".

**shrug**

Now where'd that drinkiepoo go...?

Only when necessary. Then I turn into instant "Mr Grouchy Fuck"

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Sun Feb 06, 2005 8:33 pm

No, he's a full blow character that talks in kind of a rodent like slimy underworld voice. ( the classic questionable character that becomes an alley) as I recall it's been a long time.

Wow, I could be close to attaining ubergeek statues, I've always been considered just a little strange.

Probably. Of course, I remember some old Hanna-Barbera cartoons as being good from when I was a kid (and of course they were old by then), but saw some of them on TV a while ago, and was appalled that such mind-numbing idiocy can legally be broadcast, much less packaged as children's viewing. Ever seen a episode of Space Ghost?

So thats what a 2+ million house looks like. Oi.
Projection tv screen showing the game I think the total screen width was 10 ft?
Spectacular view of downtown however.
I think i ate to much. i'm not sure. i just feel icky.
But that house. So big. 3 floors. Grand entry way. Spiral stair case. Bedroom suite on the top floor

At least some of the folks there liked out beer. One guy said someting.. along the lines of.. "A beers a beer"
Blashphemy! (he was holding a redhook and exchanging it for a alaskan amber)

Heli have you found the new you that isn't a fire fighter?
you seemed like you felt a little lost when you announced your dissension to stop doing it.

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Sun Feb 06, 2005 8:40 pm

Glad you survived it Reba! did you have fun?

helitack · Post by **helitack** » Sun Feb 06, 2005 8:41 pm

No, but I'll find something. Someone special made a statement after I got back from the San Diego fires in 2002 and almost got fried, "I don't know what I would do if anything ever happened to you". So I have been thinking about this for a long time. Decided that something else is way more important than a little adrenaline. Go figure.

RebA! · Post by **RebA!** » Sun Feb 06, 2005 8:44 pm

Did i have fun?

right now i feel sick to my stomach. I'm not sure why. Maybe it was the pizza. I mistakenly grabbed one that was way to spicy for me. And I think it upset my stomach.

It also could of been do to the general feeling of uncomfortableness of a generally poor girl in a fancy house thing.

Ugh. something not right here.

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Sun Feb 06, 2005 8:45 pm

Seems like a good thing to give up before your luck runs out

Rian Jackson · Post by **Rian Jackson** » Sun Feb 06, 2005 8:58 pm

Hi all. Just poking in to buy you all a round and say goodnight.

I'm really grateful that all of you are here...

Yup. Very much.

g'night.

*hugs* Oh, god, I know that feeling.

I remember the first time the ex took me to his parents' house. The house is in a particularly affluent portion of southern Santa Clara County, on a hillside with a lake view.... I was grateful we were just dropping off their car, and they weren't actually home, because I wouldn't have wanted them to see the wreck I was when I got out of his truck. I actually started crying a mile from the house, because there was so fucking much money in the neighborhood, and I was a goddamned impostor.

Damn, this should probably be in the fuck thread ... a foul day. I am in a foul mood. I so need for this day to be over. Give me a bottle of something, please, and don't expect it back.

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Sun Feb 06, 2005 9:28 pm

Here Geekster I don't know what it is it looks old and dusty and the bottle has 3 Xs on it, it smells a little like lighter fluid and Sniff cleared my sinuses back to my hair line,.. at the back of my head ..
it should be just the thing for ya

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Sun Feb 06, 2005 9:30 pm

* strikes his " hey don't I look like a bartender pose*

So what's got you in this state there Geekster?

geekster · Post by **geekster** » Sun Feb 06, 2005 9:36 pm

Idontwannatalkaboutit. Thanks for the bottle. I'll be over behind the hottub.

PurpleKoosh · Post by **PurpleKoosh** » Sun Feb 06, 2005 9:44 pm

*leans over the edge of the tub*

You gonna be okay, man?

(In other news, I'm gonna have to miss karaoke this week - getting home from my temp gig on the bus takes two hours....)

Ranger Genius · Post by **Ranger Genius** » Sun Feb 06, 2005 9:46 pm

Let him take a few more belts off that bottle. He'll be right as rain.

What the hell does that mean, anyway? "Right as rain?" Hmm. time to do some research.

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Sun Feb 06, 2005 9:46 pm

I should make you wear this flotation collar if your going near the water with that bottle,... I won't, but you be careful ok

helitack · Post by **helitack** » Sun Feb 06, 2005 9:49 pm

What could possibly be wrong about rain?

Ranger Genius · Post by **Ranger Genius** » Sun Feb 06, 2005 9:52 pm

Just ask Noah.

Apparently, it doesn't mean anything. Just an alliterative nonsense phrase that became popular. Originated around 1900, but it wasn't apparently intended to mean anything in particular.

Hello, hello. What's up?

(oooo, #1000 up soon, got of think of something good to say)
