The person below me

[Foxfur]

My girly friend does and she's on board!

TPBM wants biscuits and graveh, yummah!

[lazerfox]

Boy do I ever!! Yumola!

TPBM is not hungry at all.

[catinthefunnyhat]

Well, I just ate breakfast, but thinking about biscuits can make me forget about all that...

TPBM is trying to break an old, bad habit. Keep up the good work, even if you stumble a bit!

[TomServo]

Broke the old habit...now I miss it dearly!

TPBM wants a dirty martini

[SquirrelHead]

Oh yes please!! That would be excellent!

tpbm is making progress to get home

[theCryptofishist]

Yeah, spread my nueroses all over the internet and the magic begins to happen.
TPBM wonders if cat meant biscuits or cookies...

[catinthefunnyhat]

Canadians tend to use "biscuit" and "scone" interchangeably, even though we suspect that their might be a difference, and we never use "biscuit" to mean "cookie," unless we're francophones. This cat is not a francophone, no matter how hard she wishes it were otherwise.

TPBM can explain the difference between biscuits and scones.

[lazerfox]

one is flaky and salty...the other is crumbly and semi-sweet...right??

TPBM was not very impressed with Beignets

[theCryptofishist]

I've had them once, and they seemed okay. Of course, they are all just another sort of donut...
The person below me belives "francophones" are used to talk to dead iberian dictators.

[catinthefunnyhat]

I dunno. I use one recipe which is called "biscuits" in the book, but the product is what my family always called "scones." It's probably more crumbly than flaky, but that might just be a reflection of my (lack of) technique. I do tend to call them "scones" when serving them with jam and cream and "biscuits" when serving them with soup or stew, but that's a reflection of function rather than form.

It could be that having all these competing British and American linguistic and cultural influences just dooms us to developing imprecise vocabularies and inconsistent spelling habits.

EDIT: Fishy beat me. Ouch, Fishy! That really hurt!

Your definition of francophone made me giggle. And now I'm picturing a bunch of Quebeckers dusting off their Ouija Boards and their French-Spanish dictionaries...

TPBM played with an Ouija Board as a kid.... and spooky events ensued.

[theCryptofishist]

Yes...and no. Although, I did know a couple of girls who had a chat with Goering.
TPBM wonders if I've just destroyed the thread via Godwin's Law.

[catinthefunnyhat]

Fishy, I'm not quite sure this is a case of Godwin's law applying, as you didn't actually compare anything/anyone to the Nazis.

Also, I'm not sure that the realization of Godwin's law necessarily ruins a thread. It's just a thing that happens. If this thread continues infinitely without such a comparison arising, that might in fact indicate that it's not really an internet discussion.

TPBM has a corollary of Godwin's law that applies specifically to ePlaya.

[Box Burner]

Fuckin' A... yeah right: "you're doing it wrong!" - most comparisons to the Nazis or Hitler are made by people who are just trying to emphasize that you are doing it wrong.


TPBM thinks that's full of shit too.

[catinthefunnyhat]

If I say yes, does that mean I'm proving your "law"? What if I say no?
Is this a logic trap?

TPBM is humming a silly song.

[lazerfox]

hell yeah!!

[youtube][/youtube]

TPBM loves (I mean LOVES) 80's music!

[Box Burner]

As a matter of fact yes, I am. "We are the Pirates who don't do anything"

[youtube][/youtube]
Arr, arr, arr, arr



TPBM is a fan of veggie tales

[Box Burner]

Loos like I was beaten to it.

[theCryptofishist]

Um, no. If you want to pin a decade on me, it's probably the 70s. The early 70s. Although, I was faux into the village people for camp value in the 80s. So, when I'm ahead of the curve I'm way ahead of the curve. In twenty years Russian/Soviet music will be... Known by a few pretentious geeks...
TPBM thinks I'm talking about ygmir. (Silly person below me!)

[catinthefunnyhat]

I have (a) a partner who sings "The Hairbrush Song" around the house, and (b) an internet addiction, so... yeah, definitely a fan of VT!
As for pretentious geeks.... well, I guess it's possible that I've completely misread Ygmir, but I don't think that sounds like him.

TPBM writes old-fashioned thank-you notes with pen and paper and puts them in the mail. How proper!

[SquirrelHead]

Sadly no, I do not. I am awful at mailing anything out. I probably have 2-3 boxes I am meaning to send to various people at my house and they have been there awhile.

tpbm is ready to shut it down for the day.

[theCryptofishist]

Oh, I wish. I'm here for over three more hours.
TPBM foolishly left something important at home today.

[Foxfur]

No problem as I am at home with whatever it is.

TPBM is glad it's Friday!!!

[catinthefunnyhat]

You tease.

TBPM is dreaming up a new, fantastical costume idea.

[Foxfur]

Hello Kitty Riot Cop!!!

TPBM hopes for a sequel to The Fast and the Furryassed.

[catinthefunnyhat]

It's about cheetahs?

TPBM would rather see that than the one about Cheetos: The Fast and the Firy-Assed.

[theCryptofishist]

I just want to see Da Mule in The Fast and the Wily Ass.
TPBM is just waiting for the Fusco Brothers musical.

[catinthefunnyhat]

I'd never heard of them until now. Now I have. I won't be seeing that movie theatrical extravaganza. I have to, uh... get a root canal that day. *starts chipping away at tooth*

What's odd is that in 6 episodes, they managed to touch on 3 ePlaya memes -- Bass-heavy EDM, problem clowns, semi-nudity (hatcocking: the new shirtcocking?) -- and still not make me laugh.

TPBM thinks maybe the problem is not the comic but my sense of humour (or lack thereof). "Seriously," s/he is saying, "that one with Death in the witness stand and the lawyer talking about him in Pig Latin is hilarious."

[theCryptofishist]

I dunno. I hope I"ve given up on the need to have the people I like the things I like. And then, I'm not wild about the Fusco Brothers, it was just the first thing I could think of that had the right amount of improbability...
tpbm also has the cd Fla-Mundo, and knows what to think of it.

[catinthefunnyhat]

I've never heard of it. I'm going to find out what I think of it just as soon as the various video and audio things I have opened and paused in other tabs have all had their chance.

TPBM is enjoying a liquid lunch today.

[theCryptofishist]

I just had an extra cup of coffee, if that's what you mean.
TPBM likes the corn palace.

(incidentally, I don't know if you'll get a result when you search. You might want to enable french and walloon... to do so.)
