Litiquette VII

[Trekka]

Do you say those words in a terrible Crocodile Dundee accent?

How about words you hate saying? Pamphlet. God, I hate the way that word feels when you say it.

As far as the question of the day - I'll take the Rolling Stones if I had to pick one of those two. I saw them in concert and had a great time smoking weed with the nicest Canadian fellas. Plus, "Wild Horses".

But I'm with the other lovelies in the Fleetwood Mac camp. God yes.

Lol, I gotta agree with you.
“Pamphlet” has a strange taste to it.
I don’t like saying it either.
It’s almost as bad as “coxswain.”

Happy Monday!
Let’s talk about something deep to start off the week.
Like Marianas Trench deep.
This is, indeed, meant to make you a feel a little discomfort as you answer.
And
It’s ok if you need time to collect your thoughts...

Beatles? Or Stones?

Stones.

There are no Beatles tunes I couldn't live without.

Dead flowers, though...

 

[RacyRedLips]

I'll take The Eagles.

Stones for me .... but then I saw this.

Actually, I just like saying didgeridoo.
Didgeridoo, kangaroo and pelican are three of my favorite words. I try to work them into every conversation.

But I’m really more partial to the theremin, if we’re talking unusual instruments.

I just don't get how the word pelican comes into play as a favorite. I just don't....

LOL - great warm up to a really great question Trekka!

Stones all the way!

(I hope that was the right answer! )

Who lacks the stones to say The Beatles?
( and George Martin )

 

[JennyNo1]

If I had to choose between the two, I'd go with the Beatles. But, both groups were just a teeeensy bit before my time, so I'd go with Fleetwood Mac or the Eagles, too. (Enny - remember what I taught you? )

Buc-eeeeeeeees!!!

LOL....wrong class....Stevie Nicks? Fleetwood Mac? The Eagles?

 

[Endless_Night]

Ummmmm………

I, uh, remember this conversation, but not exactly the result.


(Darn, crazy world stress has fried my brain.

Which will hopefully be temporary. )

My Crocodile Dundee accent is amazing, I’ll have you know.

Words I hate? I know a girl who told me she got a new job and works in an officle. It’s not an office, not a cubicle, it’s an officle. I almost barfed out loud. That word made me want to launch the nukes and end it.

I just don't get how the word pelican comes into play as a favorite. I just don't....

Walk through a park with a little kid (preferably one you should be walking through a park with) and when you see a robin or a crow say, “Hey, look at that pelican”.
And then you will understand.

Oficle made me spit out my coffee
And
My BF does that except with “chicken!”
Everything’s a chicken. Land chicken, fence chicken, sky chicken, tree chicken... cracks himself up.

A continuation today, sort of.
Plays The Gambler by Kenny Rogers

“The whole world is run on a bluff.”

“Yeah, I believe that for zero seconds.”
- SMNW

What are you willing to bet, bluff and fold on?
When was the last time you called someone on their bluff or vice versa?
The bet, what did you pony up? The end prize, was(is) it worth taking the risk of loosing your investment?
Did you fold and if so, why?

 

[Endless_Night]

Being the staid little creature that I am, I’m not much of a gambler.

But I’m looking forward to seeing everyone else’s answers.

On the word subject, I have a girlfriend who can't abide the word panties. Use it in front of her and her face scrunches up and her body contorts. I actually like the word, so, go figure.

Now this v is an abomination of a portmanteau. Officle? Egad. That is some serious wrongness. For one thing, it's too close to the word offal.

Uuuuck.

There are two (2) kinds of people in this world:

1. People who appreciate the Rolling Stones

2. People who are wrong

Day late and a dollar short buddy!
High five on your answer, you can stay.
And nice to see you back around in theses parts.

I spent the majority of my morning having the hard drive in my laptop replaced and then restored from my last backup. A few hiccups, but damn near perfect though - took forever.
A few apps I noticed went back to default settings. Weird file or two. Easy enough fix.

My computer files and pics I don’t gamble with the possibility of losing. I pay for more cloud storage and all laptops, iPads and phones are backed up every night. I’ll pony up the extra few bucks every month, its more then worth it.

Calling a bluff, hmmmm… I pretty much a straight shooter. If I think its worth my while to call someone out, I certainly will. But I get to a point when some people/issues aren’t worth it for various reasons anymore. Maybe I’m lazy or I’ve just gotten cool and numb to all excuses and deception.
*shrugs*
Takes a deep breath…“Please ma’am, just tell me if its on backorder or a shipping error. Pick one!”
^^^ one of many examples swimming around in my head at the moment.

Fold, I’ve done it before with no regrets. Why, because I can. And will. I’m kinda cheeky sometimes. *insert that bring to the table quote here*

The Beatles and Rolling Stones aren't mutually exclusive. I love them both, and The Who and Metallica.

I couldn't pick, honestly. They're all so different and yet so awesome.

I never did get into The Eagles, though.

So, The Gambler has been in my head on and off all day today, tyvm. *smacks you*

I'm willing to bet on people-- I got a lot invested with my current guy, and in the beginning, on paper at least, he'd have seemed a risky choice. But I felt something undeniably right, and thrilling, about the whole deal. I ponied up my entire heart and soul, and the kiddo that came along with me as a package deal. A decent chunk of change, living space, I even made room for his stuff in the closet.

So far, the returns, although not linear in nature, have been very good.

I don't bluff. Unless I'm playing poker. In the game of life, it makes me too uncomfortable. I tend to tell the truth or keep my mouth shut. --> Mostly. I'm not 100% angel. I'm, like, a more or less decent person who feels icky when a lie bubbles out of her lips.

Calling people on their bluffs -- getting to the bottom of things -- I kinda do that all day long. Call me Detekkta Trekka

Been folding laundry all afternoon like a boss.

I've seen arrangement that I thought that would never work that did, and some that seemed perfect that didn't. It's art not science, and when you get it right, something for which one should be very very thankful.

I don't know about y'all, but I've been indulging in a healthy amount of mental escapism lately. Pleasurable astroplaning, if you will. Gives me a brief break from it all, and a little smile on my face, if done properly.

So, if you could teleport to a fictional setting right now, where would you go?
To explore all nine levels of Dante's inferno?
Would you be a kept woman in Paris a la a much-gossiped-about-in-hushed-tones mistress from a Jane Austen's novel?
Would you go full blown Jason Bourne or Neo in the Matrix and start swinging?
The subject of a Neruda love poem?
Would you plummet down the rabbit hole and eat this and drink that?

Let's play pretend for a spell....

 

[Orchidea73]

I would like to go to Middle-earth and be a Noldor.

You, my friend, have a very imaginative mind, you are ever so clever. I'll think about this topic for a while but I'll also look forward to the responses.

I would like to be at the fictional Literotica Pool Party.
The burgers are on the grill. The sun is shining brightly.
And all my favorite Lit people are there.
We eat, laugh and jump in the pool.

Then someone suggests a game of Truth or Dare.

To tie in to yesterday’s question, I bet I’d take dare and I wouldn’t fold.

Yeah, I'll take this, too

After Mr. Hotword's contribution anything I could come up with would only be anticlimactic.

My choices were all from boring old books!
