P.S. -- "Chrono-Synclastic Infundibulum!" <-- It's from a Kurt Vonnegut story, iirc.

I'd like to take this chance to beg, plead, grovel, and otherwise make a nuisance of myself to hope for any or all of those to appear at AD and CW. OK, so if the Laika sequel idea didn't send you, it's understandable. Unique is always valuable.The poems and the scifi/myth story and the AD/CW story all sound great. Not that I'm biased, of course. (I dunno about the seam or the selvage or the warp, weft, woof, or whatever the frell those are....)Oh yeah, and... FRELL is a great Farscape cuss word."Horsefeathers" is OK too."Fishmonger!""Bovine Stuff!""Polysyllabification!" ... OK, maybe not.If you watched Firefly, you could always try cussing in badly accented Mandarin or Cantonese.... ;) (I always figured, my luck, I'd accidentally get it right and get decked by a random Chinese guy.)Oh, and... macaroni necklace? I still like the thing about the jacket with paper clips or straight pins, from Laika. Haha, although I definitely hung out with freaks and geeks of various flavors, I was the plain vanilla uptight preppie kid. (OK, except for the cowboy music stage....) (Hey, I'm from Texas, whaddaya want?)I still remember a couple of kids got sent home for wearing some *very* tame punk clothes, back in the day.Gah. My old high school now wears uniforms. Even I would detest that. And my old junior high is now a "middle school."

'Civ, you're supposed to let the other guy give ya tongue. OK, if you want, nothin' stoppin' you. You can self-tongue auto-eroti... ... Y'know, I can't believe I typed that. Hahaha. Wild. And as "inventive" as some ppl are, I bet nobody here ever thought of a self-French kiss.... (Quiet, smart guy....)You were just following in the tradition of Ozzy Osbourne. Only no bats were harmed in the process of pursuing your art. ;)Instead of "Bye, Bye, Bye," that was "Mlah, Mlah, Mlah."I sorta missed the whole boy band craze. My age, plus I was busy hidin' in that stupid closet.Hey, who *wouldn't* want to be a rock star, singin' awesome songs?Hmm.... The Navy guy, you could've done YMCA. Very old-school. LOL, congrats for not trying to mess with his head and saying you were now *much* closer. Heh. 'Cause that'd sound much funnier than it'd ever work out in practice. (Not recommended, you "kids" at home....)Um -- Hey, I hope your tongue heals up fine, soon. Ouch. That thmartth, lotth.Mlah, mlah, mlah!

Hey Rad, we've missed you over at Codey's World and here at AwesomeDude.I've been through ups and downs; some pretty low downs, in fact. You'll get through it all. You'll get some friends along the way who will stick with you through everything. Yeah, some will move on, but others will come in to be with you.Just do the best you know how. Don't worry if you can't seem to keep all the balls juggling in the air at the right time. It doesn't matter. What matters is for you to stick up for the people and ideas you believe in. Yeah, you may find you have to compromise or give in a little, sometimes. You'll figure out who and what you absolutely will fight for and what you can let go a little.Rad, I've seen your writing, fiction and poetry and about your personal life. You have a lot of things going for you and a lot of good sense. You are bound to find a job and education doing something worthwhile, and someone is bound to see you and give you another chance.Life is about all those "another chances" and changing and rebuilding. Life's about standing and fighting for who and what you believe in. Just remember, life's about being "alongside with" and not "against."Hang on tight. You'll get there.

So, you're syncopated? *cool!* (Well, be careful, but I'm glad it's not something severe.)Also glad your inflammation's less, uh, flaming. :grins:Get through the h.w., then get some rest, and then if you feel like dancing, good. Ya gotta try out those new socks, after all.All hail EleCivil of the rockin' heartbeat! May it keep that crazy jive beat for all time!Here's hoping it always turns out good for you. :)

Hey, EC,I hope your EKG and any other tests have shown what's going on. Now, if you have two heartbeats, it means one of at least three things:1. You are pregnant. I don't wanna think too much about the delivery possibilities. (UPS? FedEx?)B. You are indeed carryin' an alien critter. Are you sure there's not a pod in your room? No, not an iPod and not a pea pod. A *pod* pod. Where's Ripley when you need her? Girl's always runnin' off someplace....III. You *are* an alien -- with two hearts. I'm not too up on it, but I think if you're a Trill or a Kzinti or... OK, I'm way too geeked out today. Neeever mind.Anyway -- All kidding aside, I really hope whatever it is will be livable or fixable. Many hugs and best wishes.

Yay for the boyfriend, I say. Tom was tryin' to steal your bling and the boyfriend wanted your bling all to himself. Seems suitable to me. Not really curious about Tom's bling. OK, there was once another Tom whose bling I would've... oh, is this thing still on? Oops!
-
The other day, Des told me his boyfriend was going to go polish his DVDs. It was rather strange he'd polish his gold lam? undershorts, but then, you never know about these Australian fellows.......I still need to work on my timing.
-
Heh. At least two precincts here in my city have been waiting over two hours to start their caucuses (or their Caucasians?) due to ... I'm really not sure what the holdup is, but they're saying people are "unruly."In Texas, it's still anyone's guess who will win for the Democrats while the Republicans are decided.-----Comparison: EleCivil played dodgeball and threw a beach ball, presumably dressed as a mild-mannered student punk.Political candidates sling mud at each other while dressed in business suits.Funny, it seems like the punk guy was more honest about what he thought.-----I just hope, when the mud settles, they'll actually work on things, whoever is elected in November.But never mind that. The truth is, it's the "little guys," the ordinary people out there, who really work on things and solve them.Best Wishes, everybody.

Ooh, I'm magical! But am I magically delicious? Hahaha! I'll spare you all the "magician's wand" jokes. Dear Des, I am glad to see the enchanted check arrived. I hope you have better luck than that farm boy with the magic beans....
-
Fire 'em all and let's start over!I am not too impressed with any of the current candidates. I haven't decided yet.I will pick the one I think is best suited, and vote for him or her. Since I haven't decided yet, that is not a hint pro or con.As usual, I will vote for the most palatable or "least bad" choice. Experience has made me jaded about any of them keeping campaign promises or getting elected.Moose and Squirrel? OR Squirrel and Moose? -- That may be the choice in this whole election.Should we vote for Sherman and Mr. Peabody instead?How 'bout Pinky and the Brain? Brain always did want to rule the world.-- Ehh. I hope whoever is voted into office does a good job for the people and for the world as a whole. This stinkin' mudball is a little blue oasis in a whole desert of dark, vast nothingness... and it's home. Somehow, "We must all hang together, or most assuredly, we shall all hang separately." (With thanks to Ben Franklin.)If EleCivil was running I'd vote for him. He's probably dancin' to the latest punk album, and I could vote for him while he's doin' that, too.

Hahaha! I think I may try that on the next telemarketer who calls!You could always have asked for her credit card number.
Let me know if she has more than one handsome young brother.We could double date.
-
Des, you had me laughing helplessly. Then the rest of you added to it. This was fantastic.Oh, and Jason's nefarious shadowed plans... I'd say more, but my screen went strangely dark and a voice claimed archly that it would control my horizontal and my vertical. Oh my! (My what? We can discuss that later, at the secret lair....)-----The other day, a very nice young woman with an exotic accent called, very concerned for my welfare. She was offering me a credit card. Imagine that, free credit, such a kind woman. However, I had to decline her kind offer, as I already have a credit card, and a bill to match. Still, she was persistent. It's so nice to find someone so eager to be helpful. Alas, when I said I had one already and really didn't want one, we were somehow disconnected. Doubtless, she will pine away for me, but alas, it will be an unrequited love, for I could not in good conscience lead her astray. Perhaps she has a handsome young brother who'd like to give me more than some silly old plastic card? Ah well, I feel sure she will go about her way, offering such riches to other deserving strangers, until she meets an exotic young man to share her plastic affections.

Australia, where it's summer in the middle of winter.Vegemite or sodomite: both are options for the adventurous. Nobody said you had to.Be careful if you say you're going out with a Joey. People may look at you funny.The land down under. Down under what, or whom? What's not to like?Canada, where it's nearly always winter, even in summer.They're not quite British, French, or American, and they like it that way, thank you. Possibly, they have a good point there.Though they're a bit confused about Canadian bacon, it's quite good.Contemplate it all while wearing a nice warm toque.Besides, a country that hires Mounties can't be half bad.England, where it's too foggy to tell if it's summer or winter.Note the spelling: "f-O-g-g-y." Not "faggy," though how smoking got into the discussion, I'm not sure. They're a bit odd about spelling, but we won't hold it against them. Unless of course, they want us to....Think of it this way: They include U in everything, and they're proud to flip their S and Z any day. Share and share alike, eh?@ Maddy: The problem with eating some people's brains is they've already gone a bit off the freshness date. Haha. Can you imagine a zombie who ate a brain gone bad? ...OK, I can't believe I just typed that. Hahahaha!

:hugs: Rad. We've missed you around, you know.Don't blame yourself, or much of anybody really, it just wastes energy. Find a way around or through the problem instead. (Easy to say, hard to do.)I think the late teens and that transition into "adulthood," realizing, oh crap, now I'm on my own and I'm mortal and life isn't quite what I thought it'd be.... That's really rough on the ol' emotions.Look for how you can turn things around to how you want to live, who you want to be, and work toward that. Look for the good in life and do your best to increase it for you and those around you.I am not being Pollyanna there. I've seen more than my share of how life doesn't meet up to those dreams, and it can be so hard picking yourself up and moving on. But it is how we move forward and make something more worthwhile.Anything good is worth fighting for. It may come slowly, but you'll get there.Keep on, Rad. Keep in touch when you can, too.

Camy, your music's great. Don't sell yourself short. At least 10 people so far have told Tim and me how much they love Broken Heart, and we've been pointing them to your other music through Codey's World, AD Radio, and Camy's Gaff.I hope we'll hear a lot more from you in the near future, in whatever projects you're dreaming up behind the scenes.

Then again, the boys may be faithful readers of AwesomeDude et al.Do you suppose they've set up a garage door opener / workout bench in the driveway?Perhaps they've installed "gaydar motion sensors" around the yard, for when you next visit?Ah, one hopes the lovebirds are happily oiling each other's muscles (or whatever it is they do) even as we type.

:p Wonderful story, Des. Why do I have this image of a garage door being crumpled and flattened back out like tinfoil, er, alumin(i)um foil? That could be useful from time to time. Extra decorator muscles are optional. I kinda prefer the garden variety guy to the extra lumpy, but the primary requirements are brains and personality. Alas, I have no ready-to-wear muscles, despite a liking for spinach. I missed out when they called the line (queue) for athletic ability. Oh sorry, somehow, that turned into a wishlist. Ahem. Well, I hope the two young guys are doing fine. I hope they don't have irreconcilable differences with their garage and car.

Golly, lucky neighbors!

Somebody hire the man, quick! Not only does he need to write, but he needs a cold shower, after seeing all those hot guys.Hey, if you change your mind and would like to have your poem hosted at CW, just let us know.

Log? He got up from the keyboard? He must've gone lumbering off. Des, I just hope you don't get termites....

Ah, I wouldn't cut my hair, change hairstyle, or other personal appearance (aside from clothes) for an interview, except for three reasons.1. I want the job enough to do that.2. I think I have a sure chance to get the job.3. It's a job that requires a certain appearance. I'm actually pretty conservative about my appearance. (My standard "look" is business casual, mostly the yuppie/preppie look.) I clean up nice and I'm good in a suit, but a suit is no longer a big deal to me.I learned to relax about appearance. Most people probably wouldn't guess, looking at me or talking with me, that I'm pretty laid back about how other people look. If they knew I grew up around an art shop, they might get it, though. -- Rad, do what fits you. If you need help with your r?sum?, ask some of the guys you trust around here for private opinions. Get whatever job you can and work up from there. Any job and any boss or company that's worth it will see your skills and gradually (or quickly) get you to a level they think you can do. Save up for your future and start back to college as soon as you can, even if it means getting by on a really tight budget. -- Don't give up. You'll get a job and you'll go up from there. If you're as nice as you come across online, then dude, you're a cinch.

Hahaha! :: falls over :: Oh, I have no idea how that'd be graded, but as humor, it's fantastic.Heh, read the book when you get a chance. It's short and pretty good. Lots of early 20th century rich-boy angst.

Real, printed books, yay!Now if only there were a really good, DRM-free way to have those digital and portable.After all, carrying eight fucktonaroonies or eight humongassloads of big, bulky books has got to be tough.Look, EleCivil has muscles...reading muscles!
