Random Rants 76: Argh! Augh! Ahhh!

[Gori the Grey]

Yeah, but that was in California. The one I'm thinking about was in the St. Louis area.

 

[Phrossack]

Weren't you one of the three who posted a photo of a real-life meet-up somewhere in the St. Louis area?

Who were those three? Can't remember. Feels like it included you.

In days of yore, when I was a younger lad and @Joecoolyo walked the forums, we held summit here, yes.

 

[Gori the Grey]

See, so we have seen you. I did remember right. It's just that I don't remember which of you was which in the picture. So I still don't have an image of you specifically.

But you were all three smiling. As one does for a picture, of course. Still, it's what I'm going to choose to remember about your actual physical appearance.

 

[Takhisis]

aimee, given your various conditions I will emphatically suggest that you do not self-medicate.

Writing emails to parents is not the most fun part of my job.

Writing emails to parents informing them that their children have been assigned working after-school detentions due to mind-boggling quantities of missed work is definitely not the most fun part of my job.

That was so long ago I've forgotten what the photo looked like and I can't find it. It's just as well; I don't actually want people here to know what I looked like. There are no flattering pictures of me!

I also feel like I don't photograph well, I need to take a lot before I find one of me I like, and even then it won't take long before I start to feel I look awful. I think we all feel that way about ourselves, and I'm sure you're much better looking than you think.

Maybe next time, drink a jug of prune juice (the 1.89L size; one cup at a time). You probably won't need the whole lot of it, and it doesn't taste bad (no, I am not part-Klingon).

My mother brought home a jug of prune juice from the store. I drank two large glasses of the stuff, thinking that if Sir Dulcolax had left anything behind, that this would clear it out.

That wasn't my smartest idea.

It's so yummy tho!

That reminds me of having to tell parents, some years ago ‘hey, I'm sorry, but your child's been cheating on his exams’. Damn it, that was awkward.

You don't gulp down or swig prune juice. Just drink it a little at a time, like maybe a half-cup, and then wait. If nothing is happening, try another half-cup. Be patient; sometimes it takes awhile (maybe an hour or more). Overdoing it (too much at once) can be problematic.

Another suggestion is to eat bran flakes (Raisin Bran works if you don't like plain bran). If you eat a bowl of bran and drink a cup of prune juice, something should definitely happen.

At any rate, you got some good Vitamin C.

Yeah he and I met up in St Louis and Joecoolyo caught a train down from Chicago. We had burgers and attended a surprise! gay pride festival. We missed the parade but had a good time walking through the booths. IIRC we had no idea it was gay pride parade day, it just happened and we went. Lots of fun

Hobbs, Lexicus and Tim were the most recent trio to meet up, I believe.

And I feel bad because I have missed a couple other opportunities to hang out with those guys. They are a lot of fun

Prune juice - a warriors drink!

Hey! Valka's already pointed out that she's not half-Klingon.

My first non-default usertitle here was "Warlady" so I'll let it slide.

There we go.

Let me guess: They respond by yelling at you and calling you names, because little Timmy would never do such a thing?

Or they try and get you fired by going to the principle or other administrators.
