6: I tried and failed to make a complicated double-gainer backflip treyf/Curse of Ham joke here. This is why I'll never be the Edward Everett Horton-est hombre.
I’m Yosemite Sam the Pirate, and a buccaneer that’s bold
I sail across the seven seas a-lookin’ out for gold
When anyone gives me trouble, I makes him walk the plank
And I watch the perty bubbles come up from where they sank
Ya-ho Ya-ho Ya-ho-ho
Ya-ho Ya-ho Ya-ho
I sail the seas where ever I please
Where ever the tradewinds blow, yo-ho!
Bugs' Song
Oh, I’m glad that I’m a rabbit beacause I’ve got the habbit
Of chewing carrots all the live-long day!
I don’t like potatoes, I never eat tomatoes,
And I never envy horses eating hay.
Every morning, noon, and nighttime, for carrots is the right time.
My diet may be wrong, but what’s the use?
Although I know I oughter, I even don’t drink water
If I can get a glass of carrot juice!
yeah, with Jackmormon, I am mostly just surprised you would give this guy your name. He has already shown he's a loser who has no sense of respect. Why any encouragement whatsoever?
My kids love Edward Everett Horton. And Eric Blore.
Signing on tonight and seeing how many comments were posted in my absence, I can't believe how few of them were on this thread. F'rinstance, no one said:
trailing off before anyone was penetrated, I think.
What kind of lame-ass sexual scenario leaves anyone ambiguously penetrated? Is this not the online dating equivalent of "is it in yet?"
M/tch -- Modesto is not far from Yosemite as the crow flies but it is very much a different world. If you want a Sierra mountains analogue for Modesto, Sonora will probably do ok.
If I were to imagine Tia on Nerve, I think I'd imagine someone like Steve Martin's Mirabelle. And if I were to imagine her suitor--well, then I think I'd just take pleasure in the phrase "Edward Everett Horton-est."
"What's wrong with a kiss, boy? Hmm? Why not start her off with a nice kiss? You don't have to go leaping straight for the clitoris like a bull at a gate. Give her a kiss, boy."
anyway, I thought it would be mean to write him just to make fun of him, so I thought I would give him a chance. I didn't think of it as personal disrespect, exactly, just, I don't know, failure to tune your pitch to your audience. I mean, enough other people online (or even I, under other circumstances) are jumping straight to the sex talk, so I could understand being a bit thick about things. I think his deal is that he thinks he's sexy, and perhaps he is, and fancies himself an operator, and if he could have been deflated out of that mode to see his own ridiculousness he might have been okay, but given that his reply was all, "I can do subtle. Encantado, Tia," it's evident that he can't.
Tia, I'm really sorry you took offense at my response.

Labs, if I'd only known! You can totally bring your six shooters!

The point of this post is just to report that I've amused myself
Which is to say, she didn't find it so offensive.

Have you got a carrot, doc?

You'll love the moustache, too. Damn, now I want to start searching the nerve site for Anti-semity Ham or whatever his name was.

Did his e-mail address end with house.gov?

Man, Tia, you give random internet perverts more chances than I do.

Than I would, that should be.

I can't believe this thread doesn't have more comments. People would rather talk about language death? Really?

I feel like there's supposed to be a circumflex in "bien sur".... if you know what I'm saying [nudge nudge].

His Nerve name is "Modesto Kid", isn't it?

I was just reproducing accurately what I could write in the text field of the site, IYKWIM, AITYD.
