Not quite myself

[BlackShanglan]

That's not a plea for a carte blanche freeing me from my New Year's resolution: "Less of an ass, more of a horse."

Rather, I hope that if I've been conspicuously more erratic or irascible lately, someone might gently nudge me in a PM and point that out so that I might apologize.

I've been trying some new medications. Evidently the way to my brain is in fact through my stomach. I'm coming back off of them; I'd rather deal with the stomach.

 

[Guest]

None that I've noticed.

You've been your delightful Miss Manners approved self.

Wanna sugar cube?

 

[tickledkitty]

Shanglan, I know you're not fond of me (my fault entirely), but I am sending you *hugs* anyway. It's awful being sick.

FWIW, I'm always interested in what you have to say, and I haven't noticed anything untoward lately.

I hope you're feeling better soon.

Say it, don't bray it?

You seem to me a fine voice of reason in this trying place. That's not too hard though.

Evil little buggers... the pills, naturally.

I noticed you'd been off your oats, but nothing else. Get well.

You mean you didn't mean all those things you said to me over on the GB? *sigh*

Half-assed horse.

I haven't noticed anything untoward.

On the other hand, something has to be really strange before I'd notice.

Oh look! The Winged Victory of Samonthrace!

See what I mean?

 

[cloudy]

Please don't tell me you forgot the plans we made to go to Constantinople to see the PERSIANS. I'll be crushed.

(Its in Greece, you know)

 

[rgraham666]

Even old New York,
was once new Amsterdam.
Why'd they changed it I can't say.
People just liked it better that way!

My dear Shanglan, it would seem that even on the junk, you're one of the sanest, most eloquent and witty voices... well, anywhere.

However, I sense an opportunity to turn all this to my advantage. I'm sure I can comb the threads and come up with some flimsy excuse to take you out to the shed for a reprimand and a good flogging.

 

[impressive]

Aw, horsey! Even on your worst day, you're nicer than I am on my best.

 

[Anna_Malia75]

You have been a little whiny lately. Oh wait, that's whinny. Sorry!!

Although you have been a bit of a neigh-sayer. I'm sorry. Y'all have probably exhausted these jokes a long time ago, right?

So long as the meds aren't making you see anything strange or hallucinate or anything....

That's just mean!

 

[BlackShanglan]

You are all extremely kind. Thank you. I laughed many times reading through this thread, and sometimes it wasn't even at what a silly ass I am.

Shanglan, I know you're not fond of me (my fault entirely), but I am sending you *hugs* anyway. It's awful being sick.

I promise you sincerely that this is not true. I think we may have had differences on some threads, but that seems to me to be ages ago. I don't know you very well, but I can't remember a single objection to you either.

Shall we take the best of good will and poor memory and call this a fresh and happy start? If you're not fond of me, of course, I'll take that in good grace, but then I think it's especially decent of you to send hugs and kind wishes.

You mean you didn't mean all those things you said to me over on the GB? *sigh*

No, I would have been much more forward, graphic and rakish if I'd been feeling myself.

However, I sense an opportunity to turn all this to my advantage. I'm sure I can comb the threads and come up with some flimsy excuse to take you out to the shed for a reprimand and a good flogging.

Please. No. Not the briar patch!

Rob, Will, Cloudy, Kendo, Sarahh, Imp - It's so good to be among friends. It warms me every time I see your names in a thread. Thank you for the good cheer.

Ǽltya, I'm very pleased to meet you. And the SO is snickering at the idea of me being a voice of reason.

Anna_Malia75, dear GOD! What have you begun?! The unbridled haste with which you've trotted out these puns is bound to saddle us with a lengthy tail of woe.

*pinwheel whirling eyes*

Noooo missstressss. What isss yourrrr willll?

Thank you. I'm relieved to hear it. I am very fond of you, in spite of the one disagreement we had a while back. A fresh and happy start in the new year seems appropriate.

 

[Anna_Malia75]

They're always much easier to handle after they've been gelded, aren't they? Although in your case it's just gelding the silly, eh, horsey?

Perfect timing. The search function is broken. That seems to me a sign from God that I should never trouble myself to hunt up what that disagreement was. All the best of the new year to you, and I hope that I was not a completely insufferable ass in the course of said disagreement. Humblest apologies if (as seems awfully likely) I was.

*GROAN*

OK, that one wins. Hooves down. That was flatly brilliant.

Anna_Malia75, dear GOD! What have you begun?! The unbridled haste with which you've trotted out these puns is bound to saddle us with a lengthy tail of whoa.

Fixed your post.

 

[jomar]

Okay.

Hope you feel more yourself soon.

ETA: I just read the puns. Ouch. (smiley grin)

 

[rgraham666]

And because the thread title made me think of it, here it is.

Duck Amuck

You're welcome.

...if I've been conspicuously more erratic or irascible lately...

I certainly haven't noticed a thing other than your absence. You are, and have been, the very model of civility, politeness, restraint and logic. Not only that, but you have the rare ability to spell accurately and write a sentence in English.
