YSaC, Vol. 805: By “answer”, you mean “delete”, right?
looking for people to answer emails
this job doesn’t require a lot of time, maybe 10 minutes a day tops. you simply have to look over client emails.
the pay is 2 cents an email, dont worry total work done per email amounts to 15 seconds of your time.
you might laugh at the 2 cents an email, but believe me it adds up quite fast. theres a convenient counting system so everything is recorded, and the work is done from your home.contact me by email for further details,
there are no payments, and no recruiting of other members.
Hooray! Ready for fun with math, boys and girls?
15 seconds per email = 4 emails per minute
4 emails per minute for 10 minutes = 40 emails
40 emails * .02/email = .80 per 10 minutes worth of work, which extrapolates out to $4.80/hour
Sign me up! I can’t wait to earn up to 80 cents per day! (Granted, that is more than I make in ads per day.)
But, unfortunately, this amazing job offer is for .80 in Canadian dollars, which is only worth something like $.79 US … taking that into consideration, it’s just not worth it. My time is much more valuable than .79 for ten minutes. Or at least that’s what the nice people at the phone sex line used to charge tell me.
Thanks for the submission, Kendra!
Eighty cents a day and no snacks? Forget it!
Perhaps Sparky has a vending machine. How cruel! Forcing you to spend your entire paycheck on snack! Bad Sparky!
“It’s payday!
Do you want this handful of pocket change, or a tiny bag filled with failure and three stale Cheetos?”
A tiny bag filled with failure is still a lot of failure.
And 3 stale Cheetos is still better than $.80 Canadian…
“Stale” sounds so negative. Let’s refer to them as “vintage Cheetos,” OK?
I am feeling LOTS better about my government paycheck now. Thanks, Sparky!
I was referencing the text management job that paid $15/hr plus snacks. Maybe a year ago-ish.
I just happened to be going through the archives and just read that one like, 3 days ago…
Classic!
Edit: reread my own post to look for speeling errors, and realized I must have been channeling a valley girl there for a moment…
Like, don’t worry, you’re only like, channeling a valley girl if you like, use “like” every like, few words. Like.
Like, totally!!
Fer sure. Like, gag me with a spoon!
I had to explain to a junior high school aged daughter what a “valley girl” was. I’m going back to bed.
Artsy, I had a similar conversation with my college freshman daughter that started with the phrase, “What in the Sam Hill,” and progressed through “dude” which strangely we both use, went onto “surfer” lingo, digressed into “Valley girls,” and ended in “Rad” phrases.
The customs of the tribal elders are strange to my youthful eyes.
But see, I grew up there, so “dude” is an intrinsic part of my vocabulary. It has, like, 1000 meanings… Surfer lingo is like my inner dude, dude…
I call my dad Dude. I think I’ve shared the story on here before, but I’ll share again for the newbies. Basically, I was learning to talk in the early 80’s, when my older 1/2 sister was a pre-teen. She started calling my dad a mass cool dude. Apparently, I misinterpreted the “dude” part as another way to say dad, and it stuck. That’s the story I was told, anyway. All I know is that’s what I’ve always called him.
If the emails are in Canadian, will someone translate them for me?
maybe they can translate them into Shatnerese?
The Shat is Canadian. So, what would that mean – let’s see, a double negative is a postive, so a Canadian email in Shatnerese would be… my cats are all home in bed with Mr. JD so can someone help me with this catmath?
Canadian(shatner) =
One Canadian Shatner is roughly equal to 2 Nimoys, 4 Sulus, 1 Scotty and 35 Red Shirt expendables… Or, perhaps, equal to 1 Candice Bergen (see: Boston Legal).
Dunno, could Canadian, Shatner be in FRENCH?
(Not that Shatner in Innuit would be that much more melodious.)
(Canadian)Shatner=To,boldy,Go,eh?
Yes, but by law it has to be translated into or from both Canadian and Quebeckish at all times. Comprendez?
Quebeckish reads like an awesome non-swear explicative: “Aw Quebeckish! I forgot to add the fabric softener!”
I’m so going to use that now.
Quebeckish – the word of the day. If I was a literary talent like most of the rest of you, I’m sure I could come up with a creative poem or story to go with Quebeckish.
I know some wokked-up people who already use quebeçois as an expletive.
Artsy: You mean like this?
Quebeck and ish, quebeck and ish,
Wind of the western sea,
Wok, wok, grill some fish,
Wind of the western sea!
Over the rolling waters go,
Work from home, this job does not blow,
Blow Ham again for me;
While my little one, while my pretty one, sleeps.
Dirty job, that, but someone has to do it.
Yes, but not me. Someone will do it for me. I will pay them 15 minty Canadian shells an hour or they can take him for free.
Good job LRC!!!!!!
Hi!

Wait a minute EB! I think I’ve got one of those emails.. riiiiiight…. HERE! Oh wait, no, I deleted that one for $.02 yesterday…

Don’t forget your t-shirt, Andie.
But… but… but…
I thought…
but girls don’t…
and she…
but…
I’m so confused.
*pats Astro on the head* Don’t worry, someday it’ll aaaaall make sense…
It’s OK, Astro. She was just giving me my “Official SG1 Fan Club” shirt that says “Mrs. Anderson” on the back. To wear. Don’t be afraid.
Uh oh, we broke the jailbait.
Astro, girls do but we are told that girls don’t. Just like females never fart, burp, or defecate.
Andie, that REALLY confused me, because my last name is Anderson :-p
Astro, do not listen to them.
The ways of Women are a mystery to we mere men.
Anytime you think you have it “all worked out” you are mistaken.
Once you learn to live with that uncertainty, you (may) develop peace and serenity.
Or not.
Ask me in another couple decades.
The Capn is very wise, young Astro.
Not that such wisdom has done me a lick of good in most of the last two decades . . .
That’s because wisdom is a bitch and therefore also a woman so you don’t understand her. But “lick of good” sounds promising.
Yeah, what LRC said. This is one of the reasons I’m not.a.lesbian. I would never want to try to keep a woman happy. Even we don’t know what we want, and it changes by the minute.
Wow…. How profound, Wizard…
But you can do it so much more quickly when you answer the emails in lower-case only. Apparently, hitting the shift key automatically clocks you out and you have to start over.
no
hey, you’re right mudsy… what about punctuation? too time consuming?
Well, commas definitely are…

*i just earned my $.02 worth*
SJ, that made me have to concentrate just to be able to read it (lol). Does that cut into my paycheck?
Take the position – hire an (East) Indian to answer the messages for a penny each $$$$$
So, wait … You want me to send you an email about a job answering your emails, so you can email me more information about the job answering your emails? If I did take the job, wouldn’t I just be answering my own email?
And you want me to do it for free?
It’s like a Mobius Strip, isn’t it?
OhMYGAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWDDDDDDDDDD!!!
SJ’s entered the Logic Vortex of Doom! Someone, throw her a lifeline, STAT!
Quick, SJ, grab the poncho!
Err… That’s okay, I’m sure oblivion is not as bad as they say.
You know, that could work out. Here’s what you do:
1. E-Mail the guy about the job, stating you’d like to take the position.
2. Go over to the guy’s house/office/internet cafe seat, tell him you E-Mailed him about the position, and in the capacity of such are there to answer it for him.
3. Engage in an E-Mail exchange that goes a little like this:

Subj: Re: E-Mail Job
You’re PERFECT for the job! In fact, I like your attitude, your spunk, your go-get-em attitude. Forget what I said about no payments. I’d like to pay you $5 per E-Mail, if that’s okay with you. You can start immediately, and I’ll even give you a $50 hiring bonus. You’ll get 6 weeks of vacation a year and cost-of-living raises every 3 months.

Excellent! Thank you very much, I’ll take it! Oh, and do you mind if I answer your E-Mails entirely in Middle English?

Subj: Re: Re: Re: E-Mail Job
Absolutely, please feel free to answer E-Mails in the manner you feel is most appropriate. Welcome aboard! I just know you will make a fine addition to our little company, and may I just add how lovely it was to meet you in person.
4. Ask for your $50.
Oh, twist my arm, I must ADORE you again!
Well done, Mindfield. My doors are being emailed, and they are non-deletable.
#5. Profit!!!111!
Forsooth. ab whe in Middle English spake; hie we mighte yet insiste on our purs be mayde in talons of golde?
Forget to put down your mugs, Capn? 🙂
I cannot imagine speeling in even mock middle-english with mugs–it would just read as sparky-speak . . .
You have once again blown my mind Smiley Dog! Elebenty brazilian doors to you.
:note to self…NEVER read anything the smiley-dog posts whilst a) sneezing..yes, I was really sneezing and b) giggling from earlier comments AND c) attempting to swallow the sip of water I just took:
Hey, can I multi-task or can’t I?
Okay, don’t answer that question.
Elebenty-brazillion doors to you, you crazy puppy.
Your first mistake CJ, was trying to swallow water while you were sneezing.
mudsy…yeah, but the sneezing fit hit me in mid-swallow…probably brought on by the coldness of the water.
Oh. I’m glad I’m not allergic to cold water.
Hehe… but seriously, I learned a long time ago to be very careful while reading this site. There are days it needs an “Enter at Your Own Risk” notice.
Yeah. I’ve never snorted any sort of drink out my nose, but I’m pretty sure this site would do it if I wasn’t careful.
You.are.my.HERO, Mindfield! Adores, too many to list.
Mindfield – that is pure genius! We are not worthy. Have you thought of setting up an academy to teach this – you could make elebenty gazillions of groats and become even more of a super-star. ALL HAIL MINDFIELD !!!!!!!!!!!
Well, now that you mention it, I was actually thinking of starting an online course tentatively called Are You Smarter Than a Craigslister? Classes would include: Illogic 101, Catmath 102+spatula, Geometry vs. Craigslist, Preventative French, and Identifying Lions (which would idendify lions by examining everything that is not a lion). Courses start as soon as I actually create the curricula.
Exactly! It’s all Mobius-strippical, turn-back-on-itselfical, mind-bendingly-twistical.
(Wow. This meth stuff really works. I can delete, like, 42 emails a minute at this rate!)
Every day, dozens of poor Canadians are forced into slavery, answering emails for a few cents, which barely covers their snacks in the vending machines. Won’t you please give generously to the Canadian Email-Slaves Relief Fund? In return for your generous donation, which is tax deductible, you will receive a photo of the child or adult you personally saved from this vicious life style. Every year, during the holidays, you’ll receive a hand-written note from your adopted Canadian, translated into Shatnerese. Give often, give soon, operators are standing by. OR you can send your donation via email. Thank you.
Can I just tape a dollar bill to my monitor or does it have to be Canadian money?
Put it into the CD-ROM slot, push it in, and then pull it out for your change.
CD-ROM slot…? What’s that? I don’t think I have one of those…
I have this really cool motorized coffee cup holder though!
Or try Pal-Pal. I suppose in Canada that would be Pal-Pal, Eh instead. Perhaps Lou can verify for us.
No, that would be Peh Pal. At least in the more rural areas.
I only just moved to Canadia less than 7 years ago, but I am quite certain it is indeed Peh!-pal. On a side note, I (having never journeyed into a strip club in my life) asked a buddy of mine how strippers make any money in Canada. He asked me what I meant, so I told him it is common practice to take dollar bills to the American clubs to distribute to the calassay nekkid ladies. And since they don’t have dollar bills in Canada, I asked him if the strippers wear little change belts like those guys at the carnival wear.
Don’t keep us hanging here, Lou! What did he say they do?
Now that I think about it, the same must go for the UK. Pound coins only, if I recall correctly, no notes. Poor girls – the Dance of the Seven Veils just isn’t the same with a money belt, is it?*
*I was going to say “fanny pack” but fanny has a different meaning there.
Sorry, Lola, I must have forgotten. Apparently, they just give out $5 bills, albeit less frequently. Although, if you wanted to find out for yourself, just head up north and find out for yourself. Any club in Canada would be drooling over you.
Dollar bill? That’s just Looney!
So we’re forcing our adopted Canadians to wear girdles and bad toupees?
Only the males.
Oh, yesterday’s not-sucking is up! And I am again a winner! Although, I am utterly amused that I won for AC/DC and not Yeats.
Best.Web.Site.Ever!
Weeee, I win too! 🙂
Thoroughly enjoyed everyone’s literary accomplishments yesterday. Nearly exhausted my supply of doors. Makes my day, everyday. Windy will be winded handing out well-deserved punches to you all.
Yeah, it’s too bad we can’t make a CD of those, poems read by Christopher Walken, and songs sung by Michael Bolton.
For only 19.95!
We can sell them on Craigslist!
Yeah, I already want one!
Me, too! And I’ll put it in my cool jorts-with-bits-of-rags-stuck-onto-it purse!
OMG, “jorts” reminds me! The other day I was in some clothing store and I saw “treggings.” Trouser-leggings. What is the world coming to?
*reads Brigete’s comment up to “treggings”*
*goes blind*
Whoops, in your bout of blindness, you dropped this “d” here.
Sorry, I … didn’t see that there.
Bridgete 🙂
I’m waiting for someone to come up with “underpants”. These would be a combination of underwear and pants. What a concept, eh?
I seriously need to get out more often. I’ve never heard of jorts, treggings, tresses, or bradumplings.
Mudsy, trust us – you’ve seen them, but not having to see them named as such is noooo loss.
May have been Phot is Unrelated, but there was a picture of a mannikin wearing a sweater, treggings, and also sans cullottes.
Ok, not as bad as when “whale tail” was “high fashion” the mannikins no worse than the teeners about . . .
Worse than “treggings” is “jeggings,” which I’m pretty sure is from the Gap and is legging-like-jeans or jean-like-leggings. They have this term plastered all over the fronts of some stores, and I swear it sounds like something similar to the special happy time shirt, just with jeans…
Yeah, we discussed the abomination of jeggings that day, too…. And then I went into JC Penney, and there was a huge display -_-
YaY! BrainStew has an avatar, and has jumped into our fray! huzzah³!
Well, it was your poetic welcome that really forced me to comply. So give yourself at least e^(iπ)+2 huzzahs (apparently I am both a math and literature nerd!)
Carefuk, you’ll make me feel all irrational <G>
That’s no way to talk our newbies Cap’n. Seriously, that’s my favorite typo today.
*hands Capn’ his lost ‘L’*
I have plenty of them. 8)
Translator, UP!
*not a math nerd*
Simply put, e^(iπ)=-1 (i being the imaginary number, which is the square root of -1). It’s one of those weird coincidental identities that happen now and again in math.
Yeah, sure. Whatever.
I got to carefuk and hiccupped decaf all down my white shirt. I should have been more carefuk while reading this site.
Oh, don’t temp me to not simply put it. I could type out the whole proof…(or at least find it on wikipedia!)
OK, so… Is it bad that I’m kinda turned on by that?
Depends on if it’s the promise of a mathematical proof (as opposed to a catmathical proof) that turns you on, or just the wording.
Definitely a mathematical proof (although a good catmathical proof would be interesting too). Anybody can string syllables together…
Oh okay, then no problem. Seems perfectly normal to me. I find a well analyzed astronomical data set can sometimes get me a bit hot under the collar.
If you need a conceptual equivalent of i, the square root of -1,
consider a deveice only wired with green wire, and a row of mecury trembler switches, but only in one plane, and with a bag of Skittles™ on top.
* wide eyed panic*
ok, If there’s a timer, I’m out…
Hey ‘Stew, could we suppose that
K -> i^e >>> 1E06 joules = L
Or, have I forgotten the smoked salmon and nonpareil capers?
I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. L? Are you going with Godel’s L? You need to use more clear terms! And is -> supposed to be if-then? Because (youare)->(Istillhavenoideawhatthehellyouaregoingonabout).
19.99 Canadian dollars or USA or UK pounds of Euros or Indian Rupees or …. whichever its only 19.99. I’ll buy ….*thinks* … one.
It’s YSAC catmath, BrainStew. Hang around, you’ll get it. 🙂
L = Limes for margaritas… *holds the pitcher out*
Who needs a refill?
*looks at Don’t Suck Golden Lotus*
*counts recipients*
*sharpens whole puncher some more*
Heaven Help the Working Bird.
Is that how you’re able to punch all of us at once, Windy?
Yes, kelli, and I punch more than just the card. Bwahahaha! Ahem. Carry on, then.
Oh, hell. We’ve officially changed the name to the Don’t Suck Golden Lotus? No wonder it’s so humid and slippery in here.
Imagine the extra work if you only had access to a half puncher…
Well, to be fair, Angus Young had better vocals.
Yes, but his style does not fit the articulate, jewel-like precision of our songs, nor the intricate melodic lines.
And we need integrity of emotion in the delivery.
[corey] Bon Scott or Brian Johnson, surely… [/corey]
After listening to The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins for what must be the brazillionth time, I have decided that I want Leornard Nimoy to vocalize all my comments.
I can’t think of a single Angus Young vocal to compare.
Innana, are you suggesting that Michael Bolton has/had “jewel-like precision”, “intricate, melodic lines” and/or “Integrity of emotion”???
I would compare his integrity of emotion to that of Richard Simmons… He did have a good voice though…
Am I suggesting that? Perhaps I suggest that Michael Bolton has all the integrity of emotion one needs for a Craigslist ad.
Congrats to all of you! Well deserved punches!
Okay this will look weird down among the jorts and jeggings, so let me rephrase:
[Coach Z]Congorge-allations on a jorb well done![/Coach Z]
Water + keyboard. Sigh. Add ‘unexpected Strongbad reference’ to list of reasons I need a new keyboard.
Adores to you christina! I read the jort post on FB and found I was reading the whole rest of my news feed in a Coach Z voice. It made me happy. 🙂
With a mere 15 seconds to reply, does my response have to be my final answer?
Sorry I’m late, but it took me a while to download all 300 billion of the daily emails sent on the intertubes into the database in my orbiting cave of technological wonders and then delete them.
Just wait till Sparky gets my bill!
I’m rich!!*
*Won’t be snarking much for the next four days, off to a big dog show!
You know, I’m sure it’s not, but that really sounds like a euphemism.
I agree…I think it’s because Hammy said it.
So that’s what the kids are calling it these days…
Is that a big show featuring dogs, or a show featuring big dogs, such as the 6-foot canine from the other day? Because that would be a show worth traveling quite a distance to see.
Seems to me you would be able to see them from quite a distance, so you might not have to travel very far.
If you’re Ed Sullivan, it’s a really big shooooowwww……
If Ed is the host, won’t we need a medium to pick up the patter?
No, since he’s dead we can use a slow.
It’s a costume party!
Anyone want to come?
Why does that sound so dirty?
I don’t know, Hammy, that decision is a hard on to make… :-p
I dunno… maybe because Hammy said it? 😀
Don’t pet the puppy, whatever you do.

hey, Snake, We need more wine!
Hammy, what happens if I push this big red button marked DO NOT PUSH?
Hammy, can I use the laserbeam to incinerate this one ROTC kid? He’s a real douche. He follows the band around everywhere and is practically a groupy, but all he does is trash the band.
Also, can I blow up KFC? They RAN OUT OF CHICKEN.
Oh no, ROTC-boy did NOT trash Astro and his band. Oh HELL no. Nobody trashes our Astro and gets away with it.
Hows about Hammy just incinerates parts of douche-boy. And the Snarkers can follow him around with our pitchforks and torches, and our sharp tongues, and we’ll SNARK the lil’ bunghole to death. ‘Cuz we is POWERFUL protective of our tender little shoots of humanity ’round hyah. Mmm-HMMM. Don’t MAKE us go all YSaC on his ass now.

Yes Astro… I am your neighbor.

It’s always free too, they can never make it to the cave in 30 minutes or less…
*sniffle* Even with liberal application of cacheBgone (and even an emergency application of cookiesBgone!), I’m still getting nginx more often than not. Guess I won’t be commenting much today… Maybe I’ll get to work on this gigantic project my boss just gave me :-p
Sometimes I also have to clear “configured accounts” and “authenticated sessions” before it finally works.
Of course, as soon as I start planning and figuring out this stinking project (won’t go into TOO much detail, but it involves cross-referencing a 1252 page PDF with 300 pages of online educational material, UGH) the site decides to behave :-p
:consults The Great Big Book of Kickasstastic Spells:
According to this book I bought on eBay for $0.99, you have to dance around your work station wearing a bikini made of pineapple Jell-O and then cover the screen in marshmallow fluff while singing “Baby’s Got Back” backwards.
Wait, that’s how you get rid of trolls. For nginx errors you have to wear a coat made of marshmallow fluff and dress your computer in a bikini made of bologna. You still have to sing “Baby’s Got Back” backwards, though.
I’m beginning to think I overpaid for this book.
Do you think I can substitute marshmallow fondant for the marshmallow fluff? I can cannibalize my cake if it’ll save YSaC :-p
I made friends with my computer gremlins and have had no problems since. They love small woodland creatures covered in Velveeta. The creatures should be live when delivered. I’m not sure what they do with the creatures, but they assure me it’s legal if not completely moral.
But you have to leave the webcam on and unfluffed!!! It is IMPERATIVE that your dance be judged by a jury of your peers (that would be us’ns) to critique, just in case you missed a step and the nginx errors don’t go away.
Might have to do it two or three times…
*Considers the amount she billed for, per email, as a law clerk (not even a real attorney) at her last internship*
Yeah, thanks Sparky, but I think I’ll pass.
I had to hire an education attorney… $300/hour, time spent on writing emails also at that rate. Not cheap. $5 per MINUTE. She gave an itemized statement, too. I didn’t want to think that I was paying someone that much to write an email!
The hourly rate covers everything they, or their minions,* do. It’s not adjusted depending on “ease” of task.
*Example: me, sometimes
Lola, you are not.a.minion. Something tells me you are the brains and talent behind the whole operation.
Thanks, Andie! That and a couple of bucks will get me a coffee from Pret! 8)
WendyBear! Long time no snark! Good to see you, hope you drop in more often.
Ok, even after much consideration (and needing to not think about a recent football game), I find I cannot wrap my perception around the idea of “education attorney.”
But, I find I have similar trouble with the concept that the IRS and DoAg both seem to need SWAT teams, too.
I will leave you with an earworm

If you borrowed an E, then wouldn’t her name be Bridget? 🙂

Hey! My E! I need that! 😛
Can I take a T, Bridgee?
Just don’t take the B. We don’t need any more idgetes running about.
Or ridgetes, even. 😉
Whoops! I guess the r was hiding because the big bad B wasn’t there to protect him from the other letters 😉
Ahhh…bittersweet the memories….
Of a father singing that li’l ditty to his daughter, instead of lullabyes…
Of the same father, many, many years later just yesterday looking into his baby girl’s eyes with no hint of recognition….
Oh, CJ. That’s such a touching reflection. I’d hug you if I could. And if you wanted me to. 8) I keep hoping for breakthroughs in research, as there’s a pretty good chance I’ll be the one in twenty years of so with no hint of recognition. What a strange path we choose in our lives.
(((CJ)))
Much huggage and love to you, my friend. And bees be upon your Dad.
Bunches of hugs to you, CJ. That non-recognition is just about the hardest thing to bear. I’d like to tell you it gets easier, but it doesn’t. Know I will keep you and your family in my thoughts (and tears).
((((((((((CJ)))))))))))
My father sang that to me, as well. I can only imagine my sadness if he no longer recognized me.
More hugs,thoughts, and strength, CJ.
Hugs from me too.
And here. I know someone going through the same as you right now, with her mother.
(((((((MANY HUGS)))))))
We went through the same thing with my grandmother. It’s so difficult. My sympathies.
I just lost my dad who sang that to me as a kid…hugs, hugs, and more hugs to you!
And big hugs to you, Kae, for your loss.
Hugs from me too, CJ.
Hugs again from me – you made me cry thinking of my mother, so many years ago. Hold onto the good memories.
Wow…just.wow.. I…you..sigh…
:pauses for tear-filled outbreak:
Ahem…better…
Words fail me, all I can think is…thank you, I need all the hugs I can get these days.
You people are truly, truly, truly a God-send for me.
I think my boss planted this ad. He’s trying to make me grateful for my barely above minimum wage less than 20 hours a week job. Well played, Bossman, well played.
This is spooky.
I have a Canadian commissioner who hasn’t answered his e-mail in over a week, despite me desperately needing to contact him because the bank won’t cash his check.
Could this be the answer why he hasn’t replied ?!
Did you make sure to write your email in Canadian?
You’re right. It needed more “eh”s and references to moose and bacon.
(Actually just got a note from him on another website. And the money issue is resolved. Hooray)
Thank you for reminding me. I’m sending you an email tonight.
If my lycos e-mail address bounces back your e-mail (which is what happened with Canadian guy) try Lazuli_7 AT yahoo DOT com.
(taking away the spaces and replacing the at with @ and dot with . of course)
I sent it to both, just to be safe.
Replied!
Then you will be a fine addition to the Snark Lounge. And I shall call you Brainsy. Get a beer from the Keg-Er-Ator over there, and make yourself comfortable. Did you bring your Snuggie?
I was thinking I would get BS (totally not planned, really, no…). And the term Snuggie always makes me think that its a blanket made from the pelts of teddy bears that sell fabric softener, which is perhaps why I have never bought one…
I could call you Bra but I’m not sure how much support I’d get.
What?
I give you a D for that joke. I’d give you two, but I don’t have that heft ; )
We sound like we are in our cups tonight.
Only you distaff scribes, we presume.
Yes, there’s nobody else in my cups tonight.
We could go for Stewie. It’s good stew weather in So Cal tonight.
Or we could go the troll who shall not be named route and call you CerebralSoup, GrayMatterBisque, CranialSimmer, or ThoughtfulBoullebaise. 🙂
If I was stupid enough to drink anything while reading comments here I would have destroyed my laptop upon reading ThoughtfulBoullebaise.
Does that mean we’re not leaving her out to placate the zomb-
Well, according to the Tshirt SaraJean wants, when the zomb- come, she will be tripping Brainsy.
Tripping Brainsy is the name of IF’s Phish cover band.
I thought Brainsy was IF’s Zombie tribute band…
Check out the zomb- fest at Bristol http://www.flickr.com/photos/igfest/sets/72157625061290074/ Let’s play a virtual one here on YSaC ?
All right, box tops, line up against the wall and no one gets hurt. LRC, Punchity! Hammy, Punch! EB, Punch! Andie, Punch! Kelli, Punch! Mindfield, Punch! Innana, Punch!
G’Night, Quebeck Ish!
Oof! No wonder I’m so sore today…. :-p
