Shut up.

Aw man, I didn't know George Harrison died. When did that happen?

-- Anonymous, November 30, 2001

I think it happened a day or so ago, and they just made the announcement.

Y'all. Beth and Omar and Fishcakes whoever are STILL going at it?

Ha! Mike went to the wrong reunion.

Where are AB and Al? I know they be around because they check in with M+1 but they no check in here? Meanies.

Did y'all see that squishettes link to the donkey "suck or fuck" thread? Did that REALLY need to be revived? And doesn't that just look sad? That they're just talking about the same shit over and over and over?

AB. If you read this, you do not need to buy a new windshield. Call the glass people - you can find them in the yellow pages, or your insurance guy can refer you to a windshield hole filler guy. They come to your house or your office, they use a vaccuum thing to suck out the cracks, and they fill the hole in. It's amazing! And it's true! And your insurance will likely cover it with no deductible!

Yeah, it was pretty funny in an "I'm a big idiot" way.

Ooh, thanks for telling me that, T. Yay!

AB, it's the most amazing thing. And the glass guy comes to you!

Woo!

Beth's calling us wankers on her forum. Nice.

Huh? In that same thread?

Well, that's just stupid as NONE of us were even involved in that crap.

Oh, I see.

Hey, at least we're funny wankers.

Y'all, I love Slickery.

And maybe Omar did take it personally because he knows and is friends with Wing, but hello, we talked about a LOT of other stuff on that tread, not just how Beth called Wing a bitch. Good grief. Seriously, some of those people just have too much culture up their asses.

I do think it's silly that I have to click through 19 pages to read the recap for a one-hour West Wing episode.

Oh, I'm definitely don't read MBTV like I used to. Way back when it was Dawson's Wrap, it was great, because the recaps were, like, three pages and the forum was manageable. I wouldn't go near those forums now - they're HUGE - and the recaps are just a pain in the 17-page ass to read.

I'm just fine being a funny wanker.

Whee! I just called the jeweler in New Orleans to order Chris' ring, and they told me that MY rings should be delivered today! And I want to wear them, but I can't. Wah.

Hey, you can pretty much call me anything as long as it's prefaced by "funny".

Well T, you're not going to be able to wear them for months and months! Forget they exist.

Where's A to the Al?

AB - how's my L_L of 2001 plaque coming?

Hey, I have to work sometimes, you know.

Man, the politics threads on 3WA drive me up the wall. And yet ... I can't stay away.

Also, xeney moved the discussion to the Back Alley. Nothing interesting has happened in the last couple of hours, though.

Wait a minute... we, specifically, are wankers? Hilarious.

Hello, peeps. I have been ultra busy for two days and had no computer at home on which to participate even in the late hours. (I took it to get the speaker fixed, and they couldn't do it after all. So, if I want it repaired, I have to mail it off to Apple, which I am not going to do.) I have only been able to make quick appearances. How I have missed you.

A few things:

T - Alejandro Escovedo TOMORROW night at the Star Bar. He is wonderful. alt.country. Texas. Good.

H - Tell Lucinda I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to see her when she was in town. I'm sure she'll understand why.

M - Never have I laughed so hard as I did at your reunion story. I wish I could have been there to see your face when you figured it out.

AB - I may have a Damn Millionaires project for us and Master V. My friend Dan needs a song for a screenplay he's developing.

Y'all, I have to go see the Rockettes tonight. Chris and I could be heading to South Carolina for a bluegrass concert and oyster roast on a beautiful horse farm, but no, we're going to see the Rockettes.

AL!

I don't know what our timeframe is tomorrow night - we're supposed to go to a wedding in Peachtree City at 3:45, and I don't know how long the reception will last. It's in the bride's father's airplane hanger (Joh, I won't tell your dad, lest he get any funny ideas about YOUR wedding being in an airplane hangar) and they decided not to rent any heaters. So. We may be heading back early. I'll give you a call tomorrow.

-- Anonymous, November 30, 2001

What I want to know, Mike, is whether you told anyone at the REAL reunion what happened to you the previous night.

-- Anonymous, November 30, 2001

Ooh, Al. Details.

Y'all, please go look at what those crazy kids on 935 did. Check the "Smack Talk" section.

-- Anonymous, November 30, 2001

1,) Al, I don't think xeney initially called us wankers. Someone else "gabby?" did, and xeney allowed that if we were, we were funny wankers.

2.) There are four people from high school who I stay in close touch with, three of whom attended the reunion. I told them, as well as my parents and Sima. And the 38 people on my notify list. That's it.

Still not as mortifying as running out of gas on the Beltway. I've done that too.

What's 935?

-- Anonymous, November 30, 2001

Mike - may I ask why Sima did not attend the reunion with you?

935 is Rob and Dana's forum. But it's on delphi and I can't go there. Poo.

Al - if you can hear music using headphones I say fuck Apple, man.

-- Anonymous, November 30, 2001

No you may not!

Heh. Actually, she had no interest in going and I had no interest in making her. She's only met my high school friends once, and -- judging from my friends' spouses who did attend -- she'd have been pretty bored.

(Joh, I won't tell your dad, lest he get any funny ideas about YOUR wedding being in an airplane hangar)

Thankfully, in order for that to happen I'd have to get married in Houston and I can't see why in a million years that would happen. A hanger? Can you imagine? I can't think of anything dirtier. Not even a barn or a firehouse.

-- Anonymous, November 30, 2001

Ooh, someone on Beth's forum called us wankers again! I like being a wanker, y'all.

On 935, somebody started a thread in "Smack Talk" and called it "Beth", then posted a few times and deleted them all, like crazy smack was going down.

-- Anonymous, November 30, 2001

But don't you think that if your dad were to learn that people actually had wedding receptions in airplane hangers, he'd be all, "Ooh, Joh, that's a good idea!"

Thankfully, this is a brand new hanger, and no planes have ever been inside of it. Still, that doesn't get it any closer to a bathroom.

Uh, I can't get into the Back Alley. Access Denied. Is that because I'm a wanker? (Albeit, a funny one?)

-- Anonymous, November 30, 2001

AB - I actually got in (firewall be damned!) and saw that, but all the messages were deleted. Did you read them before they got axed? Damn, I would've liked to have read them. Hmmm.

Ha. Maybe we could make a new banner that says- M+1: a barrel full of wankers

I keep thinking of writing something there, and then I think better of it.

Except maybe something like "If I steal 'MATH+1: Funny Wankers" and make that the name of my first novel, will I have to pay you royalties?"

Hee hee, you should.

And damn, call me a waker, fine, but don't ever insult my reading comprehension, and don't say that our forum is full of butterflies and puppy dog kisses. Fuck that.

The thread was about WG for god's sake. Did any of us even mention Beth? I don't think we did.

Man, I've had the best day at work. Got a lot done, everybody was helpful, went to Whole Foods (siiiigh...you know I almost didn't move because I thought there were no Whole Foods here, and now, there's one down the road from me).

Anyway. Tonight! The Tree of Cheese gets decorated. Y'all, we got the most beautiful Douglas fir tree! It's going to look so retro- trashy, because the MOC HAD to have the colored lights (yes, blinking) and cheap-ass ornaments. But I will love it, anyway, because we are going to have hot chocolate and peppermint schaaps. Man, oh, man. A good night at the LoweHuff house.

-- Anonymous, November 30, 2001

I'm not going to comment on your nasty schmack talk about colored lights, thank you very much.

That sounds like a wonderful evening, Al. Cheesy salt-custed snuggler love. Makes me happy to think about it.

-- Anonymous, November 30, 2001

I'm getting my tree (sadly, NOT made of cheese) on Sunday. I'm excited.

Hopefully this will be the last year I have to decorate it alone.

-- Anonymous, November 30, 2001

we're getting ours next weekend. I have convinced chris that colored lights (non blinky) are essential for our tree white lights everywhere else).

Y'all, I just looked at the diarist award thing and looked at that site that got best design...

Her design is OK, I guess, but LORDY, I have never, ever seen such a trainwreck as she is living. It is awful. I've never wanted to write a person I didn't know about their lives... but I want to write her and say "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?"

She and her husband are separated. She is pregnant with his child. She is unemployed. He is barely employed. She has a four year old by an ex husband. The current husband is an ASS... it's amazing.

Also, they are Ren Fair people, which makes the whole thing even more weird.
