Intrepid Homoludens

To your essay or to Bob Dylan?

And how would you know?

How do you do, teh_Ubermensch? BTW, your bra strap is showing.

That ID necklace is.....doing things to me......[adjusts himself in his chair]

Shut up already! Lest I fall in love with that.... o man, that's a really nice ID necklace.

O wow. Is Chris wearing one of those ID necklaces? The exact same kind that old ladies wear when they get on the bus and all the driver has to glance at is their ID and bus pass hanging off their neck? Cool. yeah. definitely.

Hmmm... good. I feel safe, then.

I love my niece!! She and I have a special relationship, that we're truly more best friends than niece and uncle. She's 20 years old, lives in CA, manages a Starbuck's, and is currently seeing this gorgeous hunk from L.A. who is half Japanese half German (lucky bitch). She sent me this, and it's soooo sweeeet: A Friendship Are you tired of all those sissy "friendship" poems that always sound good, but never actually come close to reality? Well, here is a series of promises (without those embedded stupid, "cutesey" graphics that take forever to download) that really speak of true friendship: 1. When you are sad -- I will help get you drunk and plot revenge against the sorry bastard who made you sad. 2. When you are blue -- I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you. 3. When you smile -- I will know you finally got laid. 4. When you are scared -- I will rag on you about it every chance I get. 5. When you are worried -- I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be and tell you to quit whining. 6. When you are confused -- I will use little words. 7. When you are sick -- Stay the hell away from me until you are well again. I don't want whatever you have. 8. When you fall -- I will point and laugh at your clumsy ass. This is my oath...I pledge it till the end. Why?, you may ask:Because you are my friend! Send this to ten of your closest friends, then get depressed because you can only think of two and one of them isn't speaking to you right now. Remember: A good friend will help you move. A really good friend will help you move a body. (Let me know if I ever need to bring a shovel.) Unfortunately she forgot to include the rest of them, so I kindly replied: LOL! That's wonderful........AWWW, I love you too, you strange bitch! But, you forgot the rest of them: 9. Whenever you're feeling weirdly bloated, I will help pay for the abortion. 10. Whenever you're panting excessively, I will patiently wait in the other room until you pull that vibrator out. 11. Whenever you come home drunk at 4 in the morning, I will toss a pillow out the window so the front doorstep will be just a bit more comfy to sleep on. 12. Whenever you need some extra money, I will get you information on which street corners near you are frequented most by lonely middle aged men who would pay generously for your services. Why? Because you're my friend and I love you.

Well, when I used to have hair it was so thick it was bulletproof. But I shave it all off and now my good brain shows. ......

Well, he is!

HAHAHAHAHAHA!! I think you're lying! I think that thing on your cheek is actually a libidinous little man who is trying to........

So get rid of her!!* And sexy. * Um, I was talking to the fetus twin.

Um, not if I end up looking like Chris. No, I don't. Go on, tell me.

It means you after you shave all your hair off.

Hey, don't you worry. Shave it all off, you can't possibly look all that bad. Also, it'd be a great boon as the girls will love to run their womanly hands over your head.

What hair? [runs]

Ummm....because you're dreamy?

What's all this clapping about?

Somebody's been reading too much Kafka again.

Not necessarily. It would just be a regular thumb, the more realistic the better. It would have a good solid base, preferably suction cupped, and it would have the Idle Thumbs logo on it and some fitting statement, like: "Yeah! Load me up, baby! I'm all Thumbs!"

Hmmm. My advice to her would be to confront him: "I noticed your wallet open and a condom was sticking out. Are you suffering from any kind of STD? If so, how did you get it? Will you have to be safe with me from now on? And why aren't you using that cool looking Idle Thumbs condom case?"

Gawd, that is pathetic. Sorry, no sale. It looks too frighteningly suburban mom to me - i.e. no aesthetic value whatsoever. But hey, at least they have signature merchandise for sale. I would have been more creative, though: Adventure Gamers brand cd carrying cases, sew-on patches, cell phone covers. Idle Thumbs brand bongs, condom wallets, brassieres, and gourmet lollipops.

wow, that bad, huh? Not that I ever had any serious interest in it. Bunch of white developer guys trying to be black? That reminds me of that upcoming adventure game Boyz Don't Cry. Really sad, bunch of European developers who can't seem to tell the difference between gangsters and gangstas. I at least hope the game turns out well. Funny stuff. And manny, I'm in love with your av. Can I be friends with it?

Mi scuse, Io sono venuto per visita.* *That's all the Greek I know, sorry.
