Me

I know 17 of the 38 people on my friends list in real life.
I've known 1 person for 24 years, 3 I've known more than 10 years, and 4 for 8 years.
I'll likely meet 6 others on my friends list in real life within the next year.
I've friended people who are ideologically/politically/demographically different than myself because I enjoy their unique perspectives.
I've friended people I think are far more intelligent than me because I enjoy learning from them.
I've pissed people off on my friends list by being banal & by use of my unique idioms.
I do not celebrate diversity by virtue of simply being different, but I do appreciate diverse people who bring creativity & intellect to the table.
I am extremely long suffering and never hold a grudge.
However, I deplore rudeness.




Went shopping for the score to Pan's Labyrinth but couldn't find it anywhere.

The comic book store called me to pick up my last five issues of BSG. I haven't read them yet.

Stopped by a demographically challenged liquor store on a whim and spoke to the proprietor. Asked if he had any single malt scotch. His eyes lit up and he took me into the back, behind a roped off area, and showed me his stock. Every single bottle of scotch I'd ever heard of was there, and quite a few I hadn't. The prices were unbelievably low. He suggested to me a 12-year bottle of Glenlivet as my daily drink ($29.99) and a 16-year old bottle of Lagavulin for the low, low price of $79.99. I saw a bottle of Oban, which had been suggested to me by a friend, and a bottle of Isle of Jura, which was suggested to me by [livejournal.com profile] lehah (Thanks!) I chose the latter as it was surprisingly only $24.49. My wife was disappointed I didn't by a more expensive bottle (which surprised me!)

I slept 10-hours last night.

[livejournal.com profile] photogoot is due back in town tomorrow.

I wish you all a fantastic evening and a great week next week.

or my anti-drug.

Nobody's made the usual fava beans-and-Chianti jokes in response to this yet? I'm disappointed.

for real.

Vexation is your anti-drug? Who knew?

[identity profile] schpydurx.livejournal.com 2007-01-30 08:41 am (UTC)(link)
no, silly! You are.

Never mind I saw a different reference

[identity profile] schpydurx.livejournal.com 2007-01-30 08:43 am (UTC)(link)
I figured as much.

[identity profile] melancthe.livejournal.com 2007-01-30 08:47 am (UTC)(link)
I've never been an anti-drug before: do I just have to fluff my hair and look pretty?

[identity profile] schpydurx.livejournal.com 2007-01-30 08:50 am (UTC)(link)
no, but it helps :)

[identity profile] melancthe.livejournal.com 2007-01-30 08:56 am (UTC)(link)
Good! *works on looking pretty*

that's a good girl.

You should've seen the camera phone pic he sent me after delivery - I've never seen a woman look so good after giving birth. She & the baby were beautiful.

Indeed - I had the same thought last night as I was trying to scratch something up for [livejournal.com profile] photogoot. Problem was, my fav's are spread all over other people's journals.

Hey you two, I was once like you and I liked to do the Wild Thang...

Aha! Excesses - bane of the 30's something, mark of the young. You ma'am now hold the record for the Most Gentle handling of our dear boy. While it is true that he has a way with words, and a wit to match, often his delivery is his downfall, causing [no doubt] much consternation to himself due to the ribbing we afford him because of it. Alas, dare I speak of one other, who - in a perplexing turn of events is one of the most generous, friendly, knowledgeable people I know and yet on lj all he manages to do is crank out horseshit which is funny to only one person: Himself. What a fantastic collection of rogues I've managed to surround myself with. You, my dear sweet readers, I am but your humble servant.

Hey - I thought I was the arrogant one here?

If you ladies leave my island, if you survive recruit training... you will be a weapon, you will be a minister of death, praying for war. But until that day you are pukes! You're the lowest form of life on Earth. You are not even human fucking beings! You are nothing but unorganized grabasstic pieces of amphibian shit! Because I am hard, you will not like me. But the more you hate me, the more you will learn. I am hard, but I am fair! There is no racial bigotry here! I do not look down on niggers, kikes, wops or greasers. Here you are all equally worthless! And my orders are to weed out all non-hackers who do not pack the gear to serve in my beloved Corps! Do you maggots understand that? Bullshit! I can't hear you! What's your name, scumbag? Bullshit! From now on you're Private Snowball! Do you like that name? Well, there's one thing that you won't like, Private Snowball! They don't serve fried chicken and watermelon on a daily basis in my mess hall! Who said that? Who the fuck said that? Who's the slimy little Communist shit twinkle-toed cocksucker down here, who just signed his own death warrant? Nobody, huh?! The fairy fucking godmother said it! Out-fucking-standing! I will P.T. you all until you fucking die! I'll P.T. you until your assholes are sucking buttermilk. Was it you, you scroungy little fuck, huh?! You little piece of shit! You look like a fucking worm! I'll bet it was you! Well ... no shit. What have we got here, a fucking comedian? Private Joker? I admire your honesty. Hell, I like you. You can come over to my house and fuck my sister. You little scumbag! I've got your name! I've got your ass! You will not laugh! You will not cry! You will learn by the numbers and I will teach you! Now get up! Get on your feet! You had best unfuck yourself or I will unscrew your head and shit down your neck!

"Obviously you're not a golfer." Lebowski says after a thug who has broken into his home holds up a bowling ball and asks, "What the fuck is this?"

Your collection of rogues is indeed both admirable and vastly amusing; I applaud you!

[identity profile] schpydurx.livejournal.com 2007-01-30 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
you are.

On a related subject, I'm giving very serious thought to...eating your wife. Cha.
