Two Dumb Questions from an old timer
Edited on Wed Jan-25-06 10:25 PM by DS1
1) How does Rabrrrrrr manage to get so worked over 'heartlander fucknobs' and cheese menu options in the Midwest when he hasn't left his secret lair underneath Hackensack, N.J. in over 12 years?

2) What happened to the question option when starting a new thread?

2. Yes, there are dumb questions
They're everywhere, bringing the rest of us down!

A finger or two of whiskey does sound really good.

20. this time of year is like that for me. slow achey and i'm working on
tapering the cigs, so i have been well behaved lately. which just sucks, of course.
so, i'm bored and cranky. the whiskey hasn't kicked in yet.

22. i had this nightmare the last night that incorporated two or three other
nightmares, and it was so fucked up. mark ruffalo, the actor was in it, LOL, and it was sort of like we were in a scary movie.
it was like being on a living stage set of fear. i've been remembering my dreams lately, since i kicked the menthols. weird. very creepy.

24. i wish, it was bad. i tend to have "haunted house" bad dreams..
maybe once a year or less, but this was like the last three i can remember all sitting next to each other, like a haunted neighborhood and mark didn't know it was dangerous and scary. LOL. and i felt like the proverbial girl wondering if she's going nuts. add to that the fact i know ruffalo was an actor and not my friend, and that added to the "i'm crazy" aspect.
but nothing horrible ever really happens, but there's gouls and ghosts we never quite see everywhere.
it creeps me out.

26. Sounds scary
I've never had a nightmare.

I once dreamed that my friend roasted me on a spit (like Bugs Bunny) but it wasn't really upsetting.

27. i seem to have a lot of celeb dreams, which i generally like alot
i think this was my first celeb nightmare. but i never see anything bad happen or more than a snippet of ghost, just enough to be really hair raising. a splash of blood, a door slammming shut in a dank moldy cellar with bones on the floor, stuff like that.
what was strange was that in the dream, i remembered the old dreams as if they were real, strange. fucking menthols have some funky chemicals in them.
you have never had a nightmare? wow? lucky you.

28. I don't remember my dreams very often
The last one I can recall was when Arsenio Hall still had a talkshow. But if I do remember a dream, I've got if for life. I still remember dreams I had when I was 4.

29. wow, long time!! arsenio! well, i have kissed (young 60's) mick jagger
and went ice skating with jimmy stewart. i broke up with frank sinatra (circa 1964) and that one was styled particularly well, (great hair and makeup) yeah, these i remember vividly. i do alot of art history or filmed inspired period stuff.
once i was in an elevator and each floor was a differnt period, so i hung out in the sahara with the french foreign legion and then went for tea in china. that was also a nice dress. :) and safari suit.

6. 1) Rabrrrrrr
is a born and bred cheesehead from Wisconsin, so he can rant about 'heartland fucknobs' with impunity for the rest of his life. Kind of like your own special relationship with all things British.

2) I had it for breakfast two days ago. With au jus.

:hi:

We Chicagoans have a level of sophistication that he can only dream of.

19. nah, my mom and dad were both B+R in thatched cottages on farms up
in the north west (donegal and the roscommon/leitrim border). very poor and isolated.
they were both first out of their families to come to NYC. i thought i'm first gen because we were the first born here, no?

15. I have NEVER lived in NJ!
I have too much self-respect for that. And SOteric answered your question, anyway.

the answer to your second question is: Because you were mean to me, I had Elad set up the system so that only you don't have a question option. I knew that would make you seethe with anger, hoepfully causing an aneurysm.
