Well, to be fair, you should list all your useful possessions as well.

― Chris P (Chris P), Thursday, 8 May 2003 17:30 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yes, that would be helpful. Do you have a vacuum cleaner?

― Jodi (Celerina), Thursday, 8 May 2003 17:31 (twenty-one years ago) link

Dammit, I said useful possessions.

― Chris P (Chris P), Thursday, 8 May 2003 17:34 (twenty-one years ago) link

You're Kerouac to me, Horace. Kerouac with novelty Hawaiian frills.

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Thursday, 8 May 2003 17:47 (twenty-one years ago) link

How big is your TV, Horace? I could use a bigger TV.

― Jodi (Celerina), Thursday, 8 May 2003 17:48 (twenty-one years ago) link

He doesn't have one!

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Thursday, 8 May 2003 17:48 (twenty-one years ago) link

I have a non-electric vacuum-looking roller thing. I only have an area rug, the rest is hardwood (the WHOLE rest of it).

okay, useful things:
A great chef's knife (picked up a Safeway on Saturday for a song--and a dance, I love my Safeway, before a week ago today, I was only half a block away from it, I was there everyday, sometimes as many as three times, now I'm four blocks away)
a decent bike (two-wheeler)
a nice coffee table
a single-bed futon
a pull-out couch that's actually very light
a bunch of CDs in every genre except classical (someday, though, I'll finally explore opera)
a laptop computer
a remarkable amount of notebooks
a playstation (not PS2)
a small colour tv (used only for video games, and rarely at that even)
an unabridged edition of The Count of Monte Cristo in increasingly ill-repair (in direct result with my refusal to be further than five feet away from it all times)
a half-full bottle of exquisite Scotch
two bottles of Pilsner beer
two vine-ripened tomatoes
one celery stalk
half a bag of frozen perogies
an almost full bottle of Dijonaisse
three whole-grain bagels
an almost empty container of mediteranean salsa cream cheese
one box of pure orange juice
a nylon mesh baseball cap that reads "It Took Me 85 Years To Look This Good"
a poster of Ernest Hemingway shaking hands with Fidel Castro
a lock for said decent bike
three bookshelves full of assorted books
a nose for news

I thought your lady took the tv, Horace! You lied on ILX, shame on you.

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Thursday, 8 May 2003 17:52 (twenty-one years ago) link

no, I got (a shitty little) one from my brother, quite unexpectedly.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Thursday, 8 May 2003 17:53 (twenty-one years ago) link

That picture is from a google for "Hawaiian crap", btw.

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Thursday, 8 May 2003 18:01 (twenty-one years ago) link

all things considered, that's nowhere near as bad as it could have been.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Thursday, 8 May 2003 18:03 (twenty-one years ago) link

Also, Jodi, you should be aware, as I became during my morning bath, that I have very large feet, and large toes, even in proportion to my big-fat feet.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Friday, 9 May 2003 13:48 (twenty-one years ago) link

Are you very unsubtly trying to tell her that you are extremely well-hung???

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Friday, 9 May 2003 14:01 (twenty-one years ago) link

no, I think I already mentioned that upthread. I'm serious, my feet are honkers.
I guess I never really noticed before, but my new apt. has no shower, so I've been taking baths lately, and my feet are ragers. You could park a pimped-out Esplanade on each of my dogs.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Friday, 9 May 2003 14:05 (twenty-one years ago) link

Baths rock though, don't they?

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Friday, 9 May 2003 14:37 (twenty-one years ago) link

they take so damn long, though. And you have to be all careful to get the temperature right.
But, you can't drink coffee and smoke in the shower.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Friday, 9 May 2003 14:37 (twenty-one years ago) link

What's an Esplanade? Is that anything like that new SUV, the Escarole?

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Friday, 9 May 2003 14:40 (twenty-one years ago) link

isn't the Esplanade the Cadillac SUV?

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Friday, 9 May 2003 14:42 (twenty-one years ago) link

That's an EsCalade, no?

I only know that from watching Cribs, btw!

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Friday, 9 May 2003 14:48 (twenty-one years ago) link

yes. you are sooo right. I thought Esplanade was it, because doesn't that mean a walkway? And isn't that ironic?

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Friday, 9 May 2003 15:04 (twenty-one years ago) link

es·pla·nade ( P ) Pronunciation Key (spl-näd, -nd)

A flat open stretch of pavement or grass, especially one designed as a promenade along a shore.

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Friday, 9 May 2003 15:06 (twenty-one years ago) link

thank you

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Friday, 9 May 2003 15:09 (twenty-one years ago) link

yeah we gots an esplanade is Boston.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 9 May 2003 15:10 (twenty-one years ago) link

and you walk on it.
which is why it would be funny if an anti-pedestrian machine was named that.

it would be like naming a pick-up truck the Crosswalk.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Friday, 9 May 2003 15:11 (twenty-one years ago) link

So, had any luck, Horace?

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Monday, 12 May 2003 16:12 (twenty-one years ago) link

can't talk, on honeymoon

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 12 May 2003 16:59 (twenty-one years ago) link

You went without me?

― Jodi (Celerina), Monday, 12 May 2003 17:26 (twenty-one years ago) link

uh...
Oh my God! Who is this woman in bed with me? I was sure it was you! At least she reminded me of you. In that she's a women. Oh crap.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 12 May 2003 17:27 (twenty-one years ago) link

How do you plan to sweet talk your way out of this one, lover boy?

Awwww, how can you resist?

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Monday, 12 May 2003 17:50 (twenty-one years ago) link

Aw, smoochypants, all is forgiven. Come on home. Rest your giant feet on the coffee table and watch the clay-mation Conan O'Brien with me.

― Jodi (Celerina), Monday, 12 May 2003 17:55 (twenty-one years ago) link

(sigh) I do love you.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 12 May 2003 17:57 (twenty-one years ago) link
