h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

That is incredibly cute. Mmmmmmm, I wonder if that tree is even alive. It lives in the garden, and I don't do dirt gardening when Daddy and Keith are in the same area. I would rant about males and a tendency to overfertilize, but I'm going to be quiet today.

*Mmmmmmmmm, it wouldn't matter. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm... *A little, you think? *Drat, you completely let me forget about pronunciations! * DID NOT! Worried, darling? Hehe, yes, don't mmm. (Rhythm is fine and dandy, but counting is for the birds. You can't play or hear music if you're steadily chirping out counts.) *Do you, really? Yes, I suppose you are a type like that. I'm enjoying it, myself, actually. *And? I'm allowed. *Me neither. Leads me to yet more frustration. *Just general release of frustration, I think. Try 'She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy' at three o'clock after a cry. I do believe I came extremely close to hysterics. *Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...I'll agree, just to keep it. ********* (Well, CPR is a necessary part of first aid. (No, if you made me mad, I'd record it in my lovely journal and probably hold it over your head for all eternity. No, and it would be unfair for me to exploit your idealism. (You enjoy washing windows. Whoa. I'm going to have a concrete-walled house with floor drains so all I have to do is pressure wash everything off. (Teasing, teasing...I won't grow tired of you for quite a long while, I'm afraid. (Mmmmmmmmmmmmm...someone is in a soft mood. (I don't think you did. I don't think we even talked all that much. Mmmmmm... (Did I? What a fink, I am. (Not only that. If you use white glue, it literally _ruins_ the pictures. Like getting them wet. (Mmmmmmmmmmmmm...I think I can sum up our conversation. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...))))))))))

Encore, encore!

Please do, I want a chance to try and win before you start Mmmmmmmming. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

We could *wince* kill it. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

Indeed it is. Well, perhaps you should check. Overfertilization is stupid, and you might be right about it being a typically male thing to do.

*Mmmmmmmmmm, wouldn't it? Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... *That's a mild understatement. *I shall have to re-train you, but it's not my fault that your power supply went and blew up... *DID TOO!! Nah, I just misinterpreted that for a short moment. I will try, dear. (Well, you can. It's essential in the long run for precision. It doesn't mean that you should kill the music by making it mechanical, but counting is automatic. It's not numbers, so much as a feeling. I do not think 'that's one bar, and there comes another', I _feel_ phrases.) *Better to express one's feelings than to ignore them and shut them in, dear. I'm glad to hear it. *Only if I am too. *I think life will give them a wake-up-call at some point. It's cruel, but that's the way things are. *Yes, I can understand that. When I come over, you're more than welcome to spend as much time as you need crying on my shoulder. Egads! Where on earth did that come from? *Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... good, I dunno if it's true either, but I felt like saying it nonetheless. ******** (Ah yes, sorry. I was thinking electric shock, but of course. We just don't call it CPR in Norwegian, but egads, that felt so stupid. (We'll have to find a better way of solving problems than doing that, darling. (Hahahahahaha. And that looks so nice, does it? (Phew. You do scare me some times, darling. (Mmmmmmmmmmmmm... maybe so... maybe so. (No, I forgot completely. I loved hearing your voice, though. Mmmmmmmmmm... (Indeed, but it doesn't matter too much if you said it or not. You've sort of revealed it through our convos anyway. (That doesn't sound too good, no. (Mmmmmmmmmmmm... Yes, but why bother? Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...)))))))))

Hehe, you'll get your chance for that later.

Alright, I will try. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

Why bother? Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

I probably should, but my grandmother is arriving next weekend and we're not allowed to mention figs around her. It is a very typically male thing to do. I have studied this.

*Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm, might if I could remember what. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... *So I thought. *It's not mine either. Hmph. *DID NOT! Alrighty, then. (But isn't precision determined by interpretation? Just leave the numbers out. It's detrimental. 'I _feel_ phrases.' Yes, you shall do magnificently.) *Depends on what they are, no? *Nope. There is a male/female double standard in action. (I'm waiting for, 'I don't believe in double standards.') *Went hyphen crazy, you did. *And you mine, although I will probably behave terribly sillily. Hehehe, you shall have to hear. It makes me giggle in girlish sillilyinesis. *Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...you are entitled to your say...occasionally.************ (Muaha, so Cole Slaw is sitting in a garden tub looking like a scalded child while being shocked during CPR. (Well, considering, I think we're doing quite well. (Well, external appearance matters very little. Practicality before triviality. (Well, until I decide to make some cake icing. Remember what you told me? Relax, Øyvind. (Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, maybe yes...maybe yes.. ('Sall right. And yours was quite nice. It's been awhile, no? (Never! *looksaboutaghast* (Superglue makes the image crack, glue sticks smell funny, rubber cement is okay, epoxy...let's just say NO. (Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...Because I find it entertaining. Sort of like us writing commentaries on every little thing. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...))))))))))))

YAY! Sort of like having your own circus...but not.

Well, maybe you shouldn't. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

We both agreed it was getting pathetically excessive...or maybe excessively pathetic? Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... I, for one, do not mind.

Why aren't you allowed to mention figs around her? Yes, it is, and it's stupid too.

*Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I can't remember either. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... *Indeed. *No, I blame your swimming pool. *DID TOO!! It is settled. (Not if you can't count. You need both. Precisely, but I do know which number we are at nonetheless. Do magnificently at what?) *No, all feelings need to be let out, otherwise it will damage you. *I might've gone for that if I remembered what this is all about. *Yes, yes I did. *Mmmmmm... to that. Voice convo-time, then. *Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... I'm glad to hear that. ********* (This is becoming a bit much... (Yes, we alert each other of the error, and spend the next three hours apologizing. (Well, some times, aesthetical value is essential to a human being. You need it to be happy. Everyone needs sunlight. (I am now very relaxed indeed. (Considering the convo we just had, I'd say that you are just as soft right now. (If I could remember what it was, yes. It's been way too long, but situation hasn't allowed it, and on top of that, we often put it off, no? (Well, you are just as transparent to me as I am to you. (Alright. Damn. (Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... True, we could document and analyze our own convos and write long commentaries... Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...))))))))

Hehe. You could say that, but this is infinitely more entertaining and original.

Ah, but you should get your chance, I think. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

True, but I will still keep it. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... Neither do I.

She's extremely allergic to the milk that comes from the tree. She has huge pits on her legs and arms where she's picked them herself, stupid woman. You're not kidding.

*Mmmmmmmmmmmmm...perfect bliss...Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm... *I think we're going to get even more confused. *That poor pool. A huge bullfrog lives in it, now. *DID NOT!! I suppose so. Now, wasn't that easy? (Don't count and you can't be wrong if you're with the music. Dancing.) *Hmmm... *Yes, that does tend to be a problem. Oh, wellsies. * Too cute. *Mmmmmmmm...indeed. Just remind me. *Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm...occasionally.*********** (Only because you haven't not thought about wattle trees living in Australia... (Yes, yes, yes, but it's better than having screaming fits. And it also makes it hysterical afterwards. (Well, a loud teal house has aestetic value. (I'm glad. I think we've covered many topics very thoroughly recently. (Mmmmmmmm, a complete mush ball. I'm absolutely thrilled with it, however. (Hehehe, thinking the exact same thing. We manage to often pull off a bunch of seemingly impossible things. (Strangely, I agree. Very cozy. (I win. (Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...I think I actually logged the one today. It was perfectly mmm-tastic. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...)))))))))))

And more fulfilling, I think.

And if I start Mmmmming? Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...thinking of meadows...

I shall let you. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... I'm very glad.

Aww... poor dear. No, I'm not.

*Mmmmmmmmmmmm... precisely... Mmmmmmmmmmmm... *Maybe so, not answering this convo for five days certainly contributes to it. *Awwsies. You still use it, don't you? *DID TOO!!! Easy to agree on, harder to put into practice. (Not precisely. There are degrees of being on the beat and not.) **shrugs* *Especially when you've been off the convo for five days. *Mmmmmmmm... to that. *I will do so. Ventrilo seems to work even if your internet connection is bad. *Mmmmmmmmmmmmm... yes. ******** (*sigh* (Much, much better, dear. I quite like it. It shows that we're both interested in doing our best to keep a good relationship the way it is. (Yes, but without windows, you'll go mad. (We have, and that's good, I think. (It's very comfortable, yes. Mmmmmmmm (Yes, yes we do... It's extremely entertaining, and very reassuring too, I would say. Oh, so cozy. (Well, it's because we're very similar, and at the same time, it's because of an odd knack for understanding each other. I do not understand it, but it's the way it is. Very cozy indeed... (It wasn't an argument, so you can't win? (Then you shall have to send it to me, it was just extremely comfy. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...))))))))

Definitely. I was never much of one for circus entertainment anyways.

Then I shall have to pin you down before I start kissing you. I think you'll go just as soft the moment you start mmmmmmmmmming. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, yes, I do love those meadows.

I'm glad to hear it. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... I'm extremely happy about everything, actually. How was the road trip?

Crazy woman says 'there's just something about eatin' 'em as ye pick 'em.' Stupid boys.

*Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...I think we've passed excessive...mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... *I'd imagine so, but who's counting? *Yes, why wouldn't I use it? I rather like that big ol' frog. If we wanted the frog out, we'd get him out. *DID NOT!!!! I wonder what... (*narrowseyes* Dancing can be on any fraction of a beat, because movements are impossible to get on the eighth portion of a beat at a tempo of 230bpm.) **shrugs* *Ah, well, I can't remember what half of this stuff is about, I just usually make some noncommital comment that can be taken any way. *And he agrees he's cute. So cute. *Indeed, and I am glad for that because it is often my connection is bad. Apparently, it may be several months before we get DSL. 'Lahns err unfeit to hannle thah sorr a traffick.' *Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...just for the sake of mmmmmm...******** (Aww, what's the matter? (Happy and plummy and nice and mmmmmmie. Alright, that was deserving of a (Did I say anything about not having windows? (I would have to agree. (I'll take it, fluff. Mmmmmmmmmmm, to that. (Repeat previous asterisk. (Of course I can. (I've got it, somewhere. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...)))))))))

No? They were always loud and smelly and icky and I think I was scarred by Barnum and Bailey at a young age.

Oh, to be a big person. Mmmmmmmmm, I'm feeling mushy just thinking about it. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...we'll definitely have to locate an appropriate one.

Oh, tho have agreement. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... I would hope so. The road trip was...long...very, very, very long. 2000 miles in a month. Wahoo. Wahoo. I didn't kill anyone and I was even forced to drive through Jackson. *shudder*

Ach... the madness of 'cozy' traditions... Oh, we're not all that bad.

*Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... must you always bring that up? I'm perfectly happy about being excessive. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... *True, that. I do, on occasion, but I only keep account for my own absence.* Just checking. Then the pool isn't lonely, at least. Then why is it such a poor pool? *DID TOO!!!!! What? (At 230bpm, yes, on 60, however...) *Well, that's that, then. *Yes, so I've noticed... *I didn't agree to it, so much as acknowledge that you have a right to opinion on a subjective subject that I've chosen not to have an opinion on. I'm very glad you think I'm cute, though. *Apparently so. Well, that's true. They'll probably have to lay some fiber and build a terminal nearby. *Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... so cozy. ********* (Nothing, nothing. (Very much so. Awww... so cute. (Ah, whoops. No, but I'm not much of a fan of large amounts of concrete. (Yes. Mmmmmmmmmm... (Glad you will. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, to you. (Bracket, you mean? (Yes, but you don't know the reason why you've won... yet. (Then send it, darling... Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...))))))))

Yes, and it wasn't really all that fun either.

Hehe, well, I suppose that's my advantage. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, me too. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... definitely so. A nice, secluded one.

So nice... Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... No need to hope, you can know. True, but was it nice? Did you eat loads of lovely, sugary stuff?

Mildly insane, I think, especially when you're endangering yourself. Oh, you're all horrid.

*Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...well, I thought I'd do it before you told me that. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... *Unimportant, I assure you. *It's a poor pool because it's always being teased. *DID NOOOOOOOT!!!!! What we were talking about and agreeing upon. (At 60, you're dead and are moving completely by instinct. Instinct is not wrong.) *I suppose so. *Drat, I shouldn't have pointed it out. *Sure, sure, we all know. *I'm hopping. It took us seven MONTHS to get a newspaper! *Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...entirely so.********** (You sure? (Bah. (But it's so easy to maintain. What would you have, then? (Count the mmmms for me, will you? Mmmmmmmmmmm.... (As am I. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, back at you. (Ah, yes, these would be parentheses, not asterisks. Nerk. (Must you bring that up? (I have. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...)))))))

I would have to agree.

Damn, and I'd feel so bad about fighting dirty. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, so I would pounce on you and bite you. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...with no yellow jacket nests, eh?

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, so I know. Mostly fried fish. I love fried fish. And I ate my weight in raw oysters. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

Very true, that. We're all horrid, but you like some of us in spite of it?

*Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... why, though? Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... *True, but I can't help but notice. *Hehe, aww, is it very sensitive about those things? Did we hurt its feelings? *DID TOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! We were agreeing upon a common attempt to restrain ourselves from mmmming during the famed meadow-wrestling match. (No, but it might not be accurate, nonetheless. I rarely dance to music at 230 BPM.) *Do you want to... *I already knew, darling. *Know what? *A newspaper subscription? Or just a newspaper? *Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... ******** (Absolutely and completely certain. (Hehe, you still don't like blushing, I trust? (Easy to maintain, but not very pretty. A wood-panelled house is a minimum with me. (I can't be bothered right now, it's 01:18, Norwegian time. (Mmmmmmmmmmmm... (Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm to you again. (Quite so. (I find it reasonable to mention. (I'm glad. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...)))))))))

And those poor animals.

Can't help you there, sweetie. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, we shall have to see about that. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, or copperheads.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, so you do. Well, that was a new version of road-trip food, certainly. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....

Very true, that. We're all horrid, but you like some of us in spite of it?

*Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... why, though? Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... *True, but I can't help but notice. *Hehe, aww, is it very sensitive about those things? Did we hurt its feelings? *DID TOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, so you do. Well, that was a new version of road-trip food, certainly. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

Bah! I can't tell you that!

I can't stand it.

A. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...nothing better to do. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

B. I didn't notice due to other things. Mmmmm...

C. It is very sensitive. I hate hurting its feelings.

D. DID NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTOTOTOTOTTTTTOTTTOOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT! Oh, yes, mmmmmmmmmmmm... (No?)

E. Do I want to, what?

F. Go figure.

G. Haven't a clue, duck.

H. A bleedin' newspaper.

I. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

J. About what?

K. Bah, it's irritating and people like you would try and smooch.

L. Well, then, you'll be sealing and painting and replacing boards until your dying day.

M. Someone needs to get more sleep.

N. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

O. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, back at you.

P. Brilliance.

Q. As you would.

R. As am I, about everything.

S. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...someone's mushy.


I feel horrid for them.

Bah, and you're smirking at that, aren't you? Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, already have plans for that maneuver? Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... or the newest pest, coyotes.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...good golly, I wouldn't eat them in a car. Ever eaten a raw oyster? Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

*shrugs*. Suit yourself, I know what I believe.

Awww, the poor asterisks.

A. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... I suppose not. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

B. I see... Mmmmmmm...

C. Yes, the poor thing.

D. Did too, don't be all excessive, it doesn't help anything. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... we will have to try, at least. (No, I'm afraid I do not often come across songs at that speed.)

E. No idea, to be honest.

F. Yes.

G. You were the one who said you knew to begin with!

H. How come?

I. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

J. That nothing's the matter, darling.

K. People like me. Wouldn't you like me to do that, though?

L. *shrugs* Okies. It's a bit of work every summer. The house doesn't need repainting every year.

M. I suppose I can't avoid agreeing with you after last night.

N. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

O. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, so nice.

P. Not any more, I'm afraid. Poor brackets.

Q. You should know now, though...

R. How... perfect.

S. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... we both are.

As do I.

*shrugs*. Suit yourself, I know what I believe.

Awww, the poor asterisks.

A. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... I suppose not. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

B. I see... Mmmmmmm...

C. Yes, the poor thing.

D. Did too, don't be all excessive, it doesn't help anything. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... we will have to try, at least. (No, I'm afraid I do not often come across songs at that speed.)

E. No idea, to be honest.

F. Yes.

N. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

O. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, so nice.

P. Not any more, I'm afraid. Poor brackets.

Q. You should know now, though...

R. How... perfect.

S. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... we both are.

As do I.

Not really. But I'm not going to encourage something that might make things more painful for me. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, a vague idea. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... well, that's a new one.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... It doesn't have to be eaten in a car. It has to be eaten while on a road trip, that's all. Never eaten an oyster in my life. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

Well, that's something, at least.

I'm a murderess.

A. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...quite lovely. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

B. *raiseseyebrows* Hmm...Mmmmmmmmmmmmm...

C. And we have determined that the bullfrog lives under the cannas...not in the pool. He just bathes in the pool at night, although we're still trying to figure out how he is able to leave the pool.

D. Hmph. You gave up. I win. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...we'll make a positive effort. (That's why you like record players.)

E. That'll work.

F. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeephalump.

G. How long ago was that?

H. Because everything is behind schedule here? Because people are incompetent?

I. Very good, goof. Now, repeat after me. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

J. Er...alright.

K. I wasn't referring to people liking you, I was commenting how people LIKE you would. I refuse to answer that.

L. Ah, yes, Norway. Low humidity, no excessive heat, low amounts of free-growing molds.

M. How late were you up?

N. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm...the dog says 'Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee*snort*'

O. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I think so.

P. They deserved to die. I noticed you didn't reincarnate them.

Q. Completely...

R. Yes.

S. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...posh, this may be true.

Which would make sense since you said you felt sorry for them originally.

More painful? Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, mind sharing? Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, well, I've only seen one.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, well, when you're on a road trip, you're in the car. Never? Wow. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

Yes, I suppose it is.

So it would indeed seem. The poor asterisks.

A. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... it certainly is. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

B. Yes, it makes sense to me. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

C. Ah, how extremely fun. Are you sure it's a 'he', though? I suppose he could swim it for a while, and then use the ladder to jump out, though, it would require some rather impressive jumping techniques.

D. I did not give up! I win. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... certainly. (Yes, they're fun.)

E. Will it?

F. Huh?

G. About... six posts ago.

H. So it would seem. They offered you no explanation for this?

I. I can manage on my own, thanks. Hmph! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

J. You sure?

K. Bah, so was I, I was just thinking out loud. You know you would...

L. Quite handy. that.

M. Can't remember, it's been a while.

N. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... How interesting.

O. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, as do I.

P. Nobody deserves to die. Not yet, it's supposed to take a while before they get born again. It's not instantaneous. They might be born in a different place, you know?

Q. *innocentblink*

R. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

S. What's so Posh about _that_? You realize that you're the only person in the world I'd ever allow to posh me?

Did I? Ah, well, a good thing can't be said too many times. Speaking of which; Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

You fighting dirty might make things a tad more painful, doncha think? Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... not at all, if I could only remember... Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, alright, then.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... yeah, but you stop at diners every now and then, don't you? Never had the chance, oysters aren't very normal around here. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

This same butterfly has been on the Mexican sunflower outside my window for over four hours.

*roar* Stacy, killer of the innocent asterisk. However, you must appreciate this, as well, because you haven’t abandoned it.

A. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…horses next time, you think? Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…

B. It would have to, as you’re usually the cause. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…

C. It croaks, so we’re assuming it’s a he, or a transgendered she. If he started at the bottom and shot up, I think he could make it out, but it’s still extremely impressive. They’re so very swift under the water.

D. You did so. You did not follow up with a ‘did not’ and you do not win. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm…depends really on whether you insist on continuing with this blasted ‘did not’/’did too’ stuff… (I also like reel-to-reels.)

E. It will.

F. I had to say something, did I not?

G. Well, maybe I knew then.

H. ‘The lines aren’t ready.’ Business is not focused on the customer, don’t you know?

I. Ha! Very nice, but wasn’t it you who warned me about the evils of excess?? Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…

J. No, I don’t have a clue what’s going on.

K. It thinks! Mmm, I have a lovely quote for you. Mmmm, I would, actually.

L. I like brick and stone. Low maintenance.

M. Shall I just state that it was too late? Around two?

N. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm…I found it rather entertaining. Beegie is a terrific lump of entertainment.

O. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, how entirely convenient of us.

P. But do you consider asterisks individuals? That sounds almost like a threat…

Q. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha…

R. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…

S. Posh can have multiple meanings at the same time. You get poshed when you’re right and state so, and I know good and well you’re correct. Well, I do feel privileged.

Yes. Haha, but mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…

You can save yourself, because I couldn’t bear to leave you writhing in the floor in agony. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, you can’t remember the tactics you were going to use? Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm…and it has been killed. Neighbor got to the damned thing before the FG could.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, depends on the trip length. If it’s over ten hours, we’ll stop to grab a meal; but, otherwise, daddy and I just pack our lunch and truck as long as we possibly can before we have to stop. Besides, oysters on road trips… *gags* Well, they’re a pain to harvest. I much prefer clam raking. If you ever get a chance to get your hands on some, try them. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…

C. It croaks, so we’re assuming it’s a he, or a transgendered she. If he started at the bottom and shot up, I think he could make it out, but it’s still extremely impressive. They’re so very swift under the water.

D. You did so. You did not follow up with a ‘did not’ and you do not win. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm…depends really on whether you insist on continuing with this blasted ‘did not’/’did too’ stuff… (I also like reel-to-reels.)

E. It will.

F. I had to say something, did I not?

G. Well, maybe I knew then.

H. ‘The lines aren’t ready.’ Business is not focused on the customer, don’t you know?

I. Ha! Very nice, but wasn’t it you who warned me about the evils of excess?? Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…

J. No, I don’t have a clue what’s going on.

K. It thinks! Mmm, I have a lovely quote for you. Mmmm, I would, actually.

L. I like brick and stone. Low maintenance.

M. Shall I just state that it was too late? Around two?

N. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm…I found it rather entertaining. Beegie is a terrific lump of entertainment.

O. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, how entirely convenient of us.

P. But do you consider asterisks individuals? That sounds almost like a threat…

Q. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha…

R. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…

S. Posh can have multiple meanings at the same time. You get poshed when you’re right and state so, and I know good and well you’re correct. Well, I do feel privileged.

Yes. Haha, but mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…

You can save yourself, because I couldn’t bear to leave you writhing in the floor in agony. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, you can’t remember the tactics you were going to use? Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm…and it has been killed. Neighbor got to the damned thing before the FG could.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, depends on the trip length. If it’s over ten hours, we’ll stop to grab a meal; but, otherwise, daddy and I just pack our lunch and truck as long as we possibly can before we have to stop. Besides, oysters on road trips… *gags* Well, they’re a pain to harvest. I much prefer clam raking. If you ever get a chance to get your hands on some, try them. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…

That is quite impressive.

*gasps* How DARE YOU? she knows too much!

A. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... what have horses got to do with it? Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

B. That is true. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

C. Ah, that might be a point. Yes, it is extremely impressive indeed.

D. Read the backlog, dear, I did follow up with a 'did not'!!! I win! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... well, we will see, won't we? (Never had one of those, actually)

E. How come?

F. Not really, but still.

G. Yes.

H. And now they are, no? I know, it's focused on getting money for the people in marketing.

I. Yes, well, I made an exception, since it was a demonstrative one. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

J. Okay.

K. Apparently so. Mmmmmmmmm, yay! *smooches*

L. That is true, brick and stone is nice.

M. Posh! That might be right, can't remember.

N. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... As do I. You just need to stop her from eating rabbit dung.

O. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... yes.

P. Asterisks are people too! Don't you remember how we were to create a manaifest to support that idea?

Q.

R. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... indeed.

S. Ah, can it?

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm to you, too.

Which is a good thing. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... no, but I'll improvize. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... Yes, there might be more coming, though.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... Ah, I see. What do you pack for lunch, then? I will do that. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

I suppose it was a bit high after all of that.

Well, I dare to assume the obvious fact that you aren't particularly heartbroken by the loss of the excessive asterisks according to the evidence that shows you have not brought them back. I dare to do this because I know the logistics of your mind and I am aware of the paths that mine uses to...

A. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...absolutely nothing. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

B. Very, fathead. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

C. I think it's a very important one. Bullfroggity frog.

D. NO. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...so we shall. (Have you ever seen one playing? It's more interesting than the music, usually.)

E. Because.

F. I would hate to disturb the lettering I so carefully instituted.

G. You sure?

H. Yes. The cut-through is finished and we have DSL. Wireless cards have been installed and now it's time to tame the router. I hate marketing. It must be the most pedantic, boring, irritating job ever.

I. Hmph. Alright, I give. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

J. Have you ever noticed how ID cards always look horrid?

K. Indeed so. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, hmph! Aww, shucks.

L. They are very nice, and I'm rather besotted with those lovely turf roofs you have where you are.

M. It is right. I may have even logged that just for proof. Nah, doubtful, but it was nearing three, even.

N. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...All of the dogs like rabbit droppings. They like them almost as much as horse. For some reason, never has there lived a dog that didn't love horse poo.

O. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...no?

P. Yes, we were to create a manifesto, but I'll show you how we will keep the asterisks alive in this post in the next post that I decide is postable.

Q. Innocent my foot.

R. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...indeed. Say it isn't so, Helen! Say it isn't so!

S. According to me, yes. But then, everyone isn't me.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, to us then?

Depends on your position, I suppose. I couldn't hurt you intentionally. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, you might want to plan ahead. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...I hope not. They relocated them seventy miles from here. America's relocation effort SUCKS.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...It depends. During the summer, mum cooks a ham every week and a half, so we usually carry ham for sandwiches as we both hate those awful cold cuts you get from delis. They're always cold and wet and slimy and...*gags* I honestly can't think of what all we bring, as I usually eat extremely light when we're on the road. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
