I thought it was the gyspy fortune tellers that had the crystal balls. That and the crazy wizard at the rennaisance faire.

We keep our balls to ourselves, generally. Gypsies and crazy wizards tend to be exhibitionists.

The renaissance faire has apparently become more adult since I last went.

Impromptu entertainment:

I just went to the AH and imp baited. I shouldn't have, I probably wasn't successful at it even, but you know how I get when someone tries to diss my 'hood.

I was told the renaissance faire near me gets pretty vulgar in the evenings. It's more of a family attraction during the day. Of course, the person who told me this is a bit of a prude, so maybe I need to check it out for myself some time.. you know, in the name of research. LOL

I know on one occassion the faire was a little obscene. They were having the Highland Games and my cousin went there in his kilt. Well, he jumped a fence, landed on his ass, and flashed a group of people. LOL

I'm really confused. I never felt anything but welcome here. Was the poetry forum under previous ownership at one time?

I certainly don't proclaim to be the best poet in the world. From what I've seen, the forum does more challenging and encouraging than anything else.

LAWL I went and looked. You GO grrrl.

Damn, what bunched her pantyhose, anyway?

I found the AH pretty snarky but I gave it a shot for a while, and when I left I left. I don't spend all my time talking about how Awful it all is over there.

Obviously it's time for

PREVALENCE OF SNEERING DAY in the Bistro.

I have a really good LEER, but it's not the same thing at all.

Does anyone remember how to sneer?

Which one is this, leer or sneer?

I agree.

See, I think what happens is, some folks don't assume this is just like any other group of people.

Would you walk into a group conversation, or up to a table full of strangers looking over each other's work in a restaurant, and loudly announce that you have great work to share, without even introducing yourself or paying attention to the conversation that's already going on?

And given critique, requested critique, that was both positive and negative, would you consider things like the source and the courtesy and the validity of the critique, or would you just loudly announce to that table full of strangers that they were all full of shit and you're never speaking to them again?

And most importantly, after behaving like that, would they be inclined to be kind to you?

Would they in fact be glad you went away?

This forum does go through its snarky moments, but if one pays attention, it's usually just one or two people, not a whole group. Generalizing about a whole village is its own punishment - you cut yourself off from worthwhile interaction.

It's funny how in a lot of ways, it's just like Real Life.

ETA: I couldn't resist chiming in over there.

Haha nature tends towards balls, its the perfect form.

I need to read backwards I guess, to figure how The Snoodmeister jumped from balls to balls of fish...



ETA: Very good poem again today. You are clearly the poem-master of the furry puppet people.

A hushpuppy isn't a ball of fish, silly. It's made of cornbread and fried... served with fish. Trust me, I worked at Long John Silver's full-time for years while I was in high school. They were actually pissed at me when I left to go to college. I guess they saw me as management material. I didn't know whether to be proud or insulted. LOL

Aw, shit! Is that snarkiness coming out of my mouth? You guys are a bad influence on me! LOL

OMG!!! blast doors, dry biscuits and all?

I was the one, when in grade school, we were taught where the "bomb shelter" was, I would ask, "...but did anyone pack salt? we will need salt, you know, iodine and all, we wouldnt want goiters if we actually survived a blast...god that would suck..."


did you pack salt?

dry biscuits? of course not. We have lots of interesting supplies laid in at the bistro. I just did a check on inventory, and among other things we have at least 500 tins of smoked oysters. And at least 7 dozen gallon cans of chocolate sauce. I think we're set.

The liquor backstock is ridiculous, so there's no need to worry about that.

Salt of course. For the margaritas.

glad you're here, just in case we need to close the doors.

eta: I friggin love hushpuppies. I will to tricks for hushpuppies. Y'know, sit up, beg, that sort of thing. I ate some tonight. They were from a fast food fish place, but a bad hushpuppy is better than no hushpuppy at all.

 

[UnderYourSpell]

That's why I watch movies like this instead.

The original War of the Worlds movie ended with a really pompous narrator talking about how God would always save us from the aliens, cause, we're, like... I don't know why. Just because.

I am personally skeptical.

Didn't they change the ending for American audiences so that she didn't snub him at the end? Tsk got to have your happy ending!

Oh THOSE balls.



Goys ARE martians, of course. He was right.

Round here those are often mistakenly called Witch balls. In reality, witch balls are quite different. Sort of an Appalachian dream-catcher.

Real witches generally have crystal balls. And magic wands.

bj

Wiches have balls?

What is imp bating? Is it akin to fairy flaunting?

Couple of years ago I held my camera under a friends kilt and snapped a pic omgggggg let's say nothing was worn under the kilt ... all was in working order!

I have a fine line in sneering curled top lip the lot it's added to my other party pieces i.e wiggling my left ear and a perfect Mr Spock sign

 

[UnderYourSpell]

Oh forgot to say that I always though Hushpuppies were shoes well they were over here

I knew about the shoes. Don't know why I thought the food was fish.

[sassynyc]

I have just received a PM sending me a link showing shoes to make men look taller and asking if this is my thread ..... now I am a trifle confused and am wondering if this is a new type of chat up line that I have so far missed in my sheltered life. Maybe he/she is height challenged and wishes to gain some stature but I am afraid in my eyes he/she should crawl back under the stone they just vacated

Why do you and I tend to attract the same freaks?
The last time, it was the 19 yr old looking for a mistress to school him on BDSM.
I got the same pm about shoes. Glad to know I wasn't singled out. This one was particularly freakish, given my shoe fetish (those were not the shoes I had in mind) I thought they'd read some of my amorous shoe ramblings. If my shoe av were still up, I would have been quite disturbed.

I thought it was the gyspy fortune tellers that had the crystal balls. That and the crazy wizard at the rennaisance faire.

Hey nick
Nice to see you pop into the bistro

Is this some sort of geeky bat-signal, perhaps as a way to contact the SuperGeek, whose identity is a completely dark secret that nobody knows about at all although some speculate that her initials are S A R A C R E W E ?

Got those transparent boots yet?
