That was silly, sorry.

Make this the thread where you just talk about whatever and we'll see if a conversation develops.

i'm sick of being sick!!

(i haven't left the house for almost 48 hours.)

I really really really want to go out drinking tonight.

That's weird - I was thinking of starting a thread about "This is the thread..."
I am glad you had the guts to do it, Jel.
It's confusing seeing Jel and Jess post right after each other because the names look so familiar.
What are you sick with, Jess?
What will you be drinking, Ronan?

I've been drinking too much coke of late. What've you been doing too much of recently?

Posting on ILE.

I'm using this post to declare my love for two shining examples of power balladry at its best: the Motels' "Total Control" and Linda Ronstadt's "Blue Bayou."

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 30 October 2002 21:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

I can use this to say that I may be missing for a few days - date tomorrow night, engagement party on Friday (not for me! One of my two pairs of friends called Rachel and Jo), Tate Modern on Saturday with a friend for the Kapoor and Newman.

Linda Ronstadt? In preference to Roy Orbison?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 30 October 2002 21:02 (twenty-one years ago) link

i dunno, some kinda cold. it started with hellafied mucous and sneezing and such, then fever, and now just a lingering headache/dizziness/exhaustion. i've been getting sick too frequently in the last 12 months.

Linda Ronstadt? In preference to Roy Orbison?

No, not in preference -- both are great.

I am the guy.

Today I got the news that my current work contract will end tomorrow. But there's no need for anyone to worry; my agency is reasonably sure that they can find me work in the near future.

The Linda Ronstadt/Muppet Show Frogs version of "Blue Bayou" is utter genius.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 30 October 2002 21:12 (twenty-one years ago) link

I hated having temp jobs because whenever one would end, I felt like I was being fired.

I've currently just been arguing with four Doors fans that Blondie were better (that obvious Doors/Blondie paradigm that there is) and am now drinking Strongbow far too quickly for a sane man.

This year I have eaten too many cakes.

― jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 30 October 2002 22:12 (twenty-one years ago) link

I don't accept that that is possible, Jel.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 30 October 2002 22:24 (twenty-one years ago) link

I have eaten too many pies! I just weighed in at 52 kilograms.

― rainy (rainy), Wednesday, 30 October 2002 22:50 (twenty-one years ago) link

Mmm, pie.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 30 October 2002 22:53 (twenty-one years ago) link

That's what, 115 lbs? Eight stone and a bit! You would have to weigh much more than that (double, at least!) to hear the "Who ate all the pies?" chant in these parts.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 30 October 2002 22:54 (twenty-one years ago) link

Martin but I am only two feet tall.

This is true.

― david h (david h), Wednesday, 30 October 2002 23:04 (twenty-one years ago) link

ahh that hat looks so cooling and refreshing.... and his beautiful necklaces, so fancy. That's an A1 worshipper alright.

― rainy (rainy), Wednesday, 30 October 2002 23:07 (twenty-one years ago) link

I confess that I don't remember seeing a pic of Rainy, but all of the ILX women I have seen, or seen pics of, so far are gorgeous => Rainy is also. (We men are a little less consistent.)

A midget female professional wrestler's head is compared to a watermelon in the great Reverend Billy C. Wirtz song Teenie Weanie Meanie. (Also "She looked like Tammy Wynette left too long in my dryer".)
