MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES

[Bronxgirl48]

I don't seem to be able to strike an agreeable chord with my Jell-o.

You're going ashore?

[laffite]

Thank you so much, diane, and, welcome!

lafitte, just before I sign off, I must tell you that I was not being ironic about puppets, clowns or Santa Claus! They terrify me! (well, maybe not Topo Gigio or Kukla and Ollie) As for clowns, forget it -- they are all scary as hell. And Santa (except for Edmund Gwenn playing him) always seems demonic to me.

Maybe you've been looking at too many Horror films
(ducking for cover)

We yearn for your wellness, and to your return.

Do you mean Fran? The quote is recognizably modeled from Dodsworth when Fran is taking for granted that everything is cool with Sam. Fran sails for the United States, while Sam and Edith to her villa.

Or something else? Hmmm

Barb, you are often over my head.

Killer Klowns from Outer Space is on Svengoolie tomorrow. I've never seen it.

[laffite]

I saw a film today, oh boy
It was the Killer Klowns from Outer Space
And when the light went way down low
We couldn't see a thing,
But heard the strangest Being

the sound of which we never heard or knew befoorrrr

We howled and screamed today, oh boy

(etc.)

I’m confused between bipolar 1 and bipolar 2. What is the difference exactly?

bipolar 1 get free medication.

It pays to be number 1.

[Thompson]

I’m confused between bipolar 1 and bipolar 2. What is the difference exactly? Is it like reading French and not understanding a word and then wondering why you don’t understand it because you don’t know French? It’s something like that I suppose. I guess it doesn’t matter. Laffite can probably explain it better.

Right on EP! It pays to be number 1!

BTW, that means ‘by the way’ in the new lingo, since I’ve started taking Balance of Nature vitamins, I can play with my hamster and also post on the board, not at the same time mind you, that would be difficult, but since taking Balance of Nature vitamins I’ve noticed an increase in negative thinking and a phantom pain in my pancreas. FYI, that means ‘for your information,’ in the new lingo speak, Balance of Nature = Speed Balls

[Thompson]

Ya get that va-voom back when you get on Balance of Nature vitamins. You also get addicted as all get out.

That’s from The Beatles, huh? ‘I read the news today, oh boy.’ I thought you didn’t approve of that sort of music Laffite.

[Dargo]

Hope you're feeling better very soon, Bronxie.

(...ya know, you're always missed around here whenever you're away for any length of time, don't ya?!)

You should come down here for the Mardi Gras. You can stay with me as long as I get first dibs to the toilet. It’s starting now but the parades will go till 21st. I live right on the main parade route uptown. I hate a parade but some people like ‘em. BYOB, that means ‘bring your own booze’ because you’re not drinking mine. I’ve even got one of those keen portable chairs that you can take to the route, it’s sort of heavy but it’s got that shoulder strap that makes it okay to tote. Now, I sleep on the couch, you all can sleep on the bed or the floor, but ya ain’t sleeping on the couch.

Wow, I’m a rule maker now, sayin’ this and that, king of the castle. I guess you can sleep on the couch, it’s an old one and lives on those springs instead of cushion, I’ve got a chair that reclines and works. It’s all good. I’ll share a beer and a plug of the hard, I’m not a mean guy really.

Uh, no thanks. I'll sleep on the sidewalk.
