But first a laurel and hardy handshake and welcome to the new folks who’ve wandered into my corner of LJ. laurel714 you are apparently my twin from a freak accident involving baby switching, cans of kerosene and trans-continental flight. There is no other way to explain our similarities. Don’t ask me. I just work here.
Gamer Girl Moment O’Doom….
I’d taken C some lunch and we were sitting outside while he ate it. This is mostly because where he works is pretty high security. At any rate, one of his coworkers joined us and we were chatting pretty amiably about world domination. ( I’d mentioned my plans for world conquest.) Coworker asks if he can buy Australia from me for $10.
“Hell, no” I said. “That’s one of the purple countries!”
C was impressed with my gamer-geek reference and glowed for the rest of lunch.
This has been a public service announcement. Thank you.
The Process 
IN what game is Australia purple?
I think that it’s orange on Montessori maps.
Risk, yo!
Indeed!
(ala David Lopan)
Of course Risk! ‘Schaw!
Ah. I have only played Risk on the computer where you can make it all kinds of pretty colours…
I *KNEW* there was no way in Hell I could be biologically related to my family!
I swear its true. How else do explain the fact that your user icon is tattooed on my back? 😉
(The Celtic triple horse one, I mean. The floating, toothy blob guy isn’t tattooed on me back.)
OH. MY. GOD!
I have it tattooed on my arm! Only the artist took that picture and straightened it out so the 3 horses are in a line – knotwork still included – and it is an armband.
Ah, my best girlie, who has seen almost all the same movies I have and loves quotes near as much. 🙂
Yes indeedy, do.
*huggles*
“Oooooooooooooooooooooklahoma!”
He’ll love Oklahoma’s wide open spaces. He loves to run and run and run.
“Do you want the genital cuff?”
*SPROING!*
“May I hold your trident, Sir?” “Yesss.”
“Why is the cork on the fork?” “To prevent him hurting himself…and others.” *poke*
*snarfle*
“OH LAWRENCE! I’m SO happy. I think my testicles dropped!”
ROFL…
“Remember: no sudden moves.”
“You’ve been banging your pots again, haven’t you?”
We SO need a movie-a-thon whenever you get back into town. Lots of bad movies with extremely quotable lines.
“Annoint her in special oils, dress her in fine linens. Then lock her ass up til I get back”
“The fuck it isn’t! I know Annubis when I see him!”
And wine.
“WINE! Bring me wine!”
And maybe some Jenni.
Definitely sone Jeni. 🙂 I saw something recently that he had a new special coming out, and there was much rejoicing.
I’m in town now ’cause I’m going to be at your daughter’s Seaworld Extravaganza tomorrow. (Right, she asked her ride knowingly?) I’m gone again next Tuesday-Friday, but then home for a week.
Then we can talk about how all the actors in Roman movies have English accents.
Yes, of course. Do ya wanna come and spend the night here? It’ll be crowded but HEY! we’ve doggie-piled before. Terri’s sickish, Aurellia’s coming to hang out. We’re gonna watch some Monk and order in. (for TV – its not bad. I like that they aren’t really sugar-coating the fact that he has some *serious* issues. He’s functional – more or less – but only just.)
At any rate, if you want to spend the night I promise to snore only on opposite hours.
Discussion about Roman movies? Well, I suppose it would be the neighborly thing to do.
Probably – lemme think about it.
If so, I’ll bring the midgets and vegetable oil.
Cool, I’ll get the crane* setup over the bed.
*Made of fine redwood, indigenous to this part of the country.
LMAO…
Just the thing after sipping mint juleps and being po-lite all day.
Ohdeargod. I own this particular concert appearance, but for the life of me, I can’t remember who it is, being that I have a bajillion comedians’ concerts ensuite. Delighted I am to see someone shares the same taste.
P.S> Found my way here via ‘s LJ. Cheers.
“What else could you think…
..but that you’d won the Lobster Sweepstakes?”
Quotes from Richard Jenni. Possibly the funniest short NYorker, ever.
Cheers and welcome!
Re: “What else could you think…
“Yes, bring me the brown one, he amuses me; the impertinent one on the right – SIEZE HIM! ”
“Would you like a beverage?”
“WINE – bring me wine!”
“Will there be anything else?”
“Yes, find out why all the Romans in the movies have English accents…”
I wanna talk to my travel agent…right away!
Jenni is a god among performers. He’s got great timing and he’s kind of cute in a sweaty, sarcastic sort of way.
Re: I wanna talk to my travel agent…right away!
I like him, but my personal favorites are still Bill Hicks (R.I.P.) and Chris Rock, because both of them create(d) unbelievably perceptive material out of the sheer insanity that is politics and real life.
Given the current state of humanity, I think comedians are about the only thing standing between me and a date with a clock tower and a fully-loaded semi-automatic.
Re: I wanna talk to my travel agent…right away!
I hear ya.
Also, Ron White. Bourbon-drinking, cigarette smoking redneck, also with impeccable timing.
Re: I wanna talk to my travel agent…right away!
Not in my current collection – I’ll try to find something – thanks for the tip!
