1. But you'll notice that his name has dropped off the "Most Viewed" list.
Obviously, there's a correlation. :hug:

Alternate theory: Heidi was getting suspicious... or jealous. :)

3. She's suspicious and jealous by nature
So you can't go by that.

10. Honestly,
Edited on Fri Mar-24-06 12:57 PM by Call Me Wesley
she has no jealous bone in her and doesn't need it. Therefore I can happily ask:

Bounce yer boobies, please!

12. OK, all you had to do was ask.
You didn't need to scream. I'm pretty easy.

My Friend Oedi I



Call Me Wesley: Good evening. One of the most prolific posters of this board, or indeed of any age, is Sir Oeditpus Rex, and we are indeed fortunate to have him with us in this module tonight.

Oeditpus Rex: Good evening.
Call Me Wesley: Oeditpus ... you don't mind if I call you Oeditpus?
Oeditpus Rex: No, not at all.
Call Me Wesley: Because it does worry some people - I don't know why - but they are a little sensitive so I take the precaution of asking on these occasions.
Oeditpus Rex: No, that's fine.
Call Me Wesley: So Oeditpus is all right. Splendid. I'm sorry to have brought it up.
Oeditpus Rex: No, no, please. Oeditpus it is.
Call Me Wesley: Well thank you very much for being so helpful. And it's more than my job's worth to, er ...
Oeditpus Rex: Yes, quite.
Call Me Wesley: Makes it rather difficult to establish a rapport - put the other person at his ease ...
Oeditpus Rex: Quite.
Call Me Wesley: Silly little point but it does seem to matter. Still, er, least said the better. Pus, when you first started you ... I hope you don't mind if I call you Pus, er, I mean as opposed to Oeditpus?
Oeditpus Rex: No, no, everyone calls me Pus.
Call Me Wesley: Well of course it's shorter, isn't it.
Oeditpus Rex: Yes it is.
Call Me Wesley: And much less formal!
Oeditpus Rex: Yes, Pus, Oeditpus or anything!
Call Me Wesley: Thank you. Um, incidentally, do call me Wes. I don't want you bothering with this 'Wesley' nonsense! Ha ha ha ha! Now where were we? Ah yes. Oedi Baby, when you first started in the ...
Oeditpus Rex: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but I don't like being called "Oedi Baby".
Call Me Wesley: What?
Oeditpus Rex: I don't like being called "Oedi Baby".
Call Me Wesley: Did I call you "Oedi Baby"?
Oeditpus Rex: Yes, you did! Now if you could get on with the interview ...
Call Me Wesley: I don't think I did call you "Oedi Baby".
Oeditpus Rex: You did!
Call Me Wesley: I didn't really call you "Oedi Baby", did I, sweetie?
Oeditpus Rex: Don't call me "sweetie"!
Call Me Wesley: Can I call you "sugar plum"?
Oeditpus Rex: No.
Call Me Wesley: "Pussycat"?
Oeditpus Rex: No!
Call Me Wesley: "Angel drawers"?
Oeditpus Rex: No you may not! Get on with it!
Call Me Wesley: Can I call you "Frank"?
Oeditpus Rex: Why "Frank"?
Call Me Wesley: It's a nice name. Richard Nixon's got a hedgehog called Frank.
Oeditpus Rex: What IS going on?
Call Me Wesley: Now Frank -- Fran -- Frannie -- little Frannie-pooh ...
Oeditpus Rex: No. I'm leaving. I'm off. I'm going. I've never ...
Call Me Wesley: Tell us about your latest post on DU, Sir Oeditpus.
Oeditpus Rex: What?
Call Me Wesley: Tell us about your latest post on DU, Sir Oeditpus, if you'd be so very kind.
Oeditpus Rex: None of this "Pussycat" nonsense?
Call Me Wesley: Promise. Please, Sir Oeditpus.
Oeditpus Rex: My latest post on DU?
Call Me Wesley: Yes, Sir Oeditpus.
Oeditpus Rex: Well the idea, funnily enough, is based on an idea I had when I looked at a response I got. Of course, it was only a spanking smilie and ...
Call Me Wesley: Oh shut up!

My Friend Oedi II



Call Me Wesley: Good evening. Tonight we're going to take a hard tough abrasive look at camel spotting. Hello.

Oeditpus Rex: Hello Wesley.
Call Me Wesley: Now tell me, what exactly are you doing?
Oeditpus Rex: Er well, I'm camel spotting. I'm spotting to see if there are any camels that I can spot, and put them down in my camel spotting book.
Call Me Wesley: Good. And how many camels have you spotted so far?
Oeditpus Rex: Oh, well so far Wesley, up to the present moment, I've spotted nearly, ooh, nearly one.
Call Me Wesley: Nearly one?
Oeditpus Rex: Er, call it none.
Call Me Wesley: Fine. And er how long have you been here?
Oeditpus Rex: Three years.
Call Me Wesley: So, in, er, three years you've spotted no camels?
Oeditpus Rex: Yes in only three years. Er, I tell a lie, four, be fair, five. I've been camel spotting for just the seven years. Before that of course I was a Yeti spotter.
Call Me Wesley: A Yeti spotter, that must have been extremely interesting.
Oeditpus Rex: Oh, it was extremely interesting, very, very - quite... it was dull; dull, dull, dull, oh God it was dull. Sitting in the Waterloo waiting room. Course once you've seen one Yeti you've seen them all.
Call Me Wesley: And have you seen them all?
Oeditpus Rex: Well I've seen one. Well a little one... a picture of a... I've heard about them.
Call Me Wesley: Well, now tell me, what do you do when you spot a camel?
Oeditpus Rex: Er, I take its number.
Call Me Wesley: Camels don't have numbers.
Oeditpus Rex: Ah, well you've got to know where to look. Er, they're on the side of the engine above the piston box.
Call Me Wesley: What?
Oeditpus Rex: Ah - of course you've got to make sure it's not a dromedary. 'Cos if it's a dromedary it goes in the dromedary book.
Call Me Wesley: Well how do you tell if it's a dromedary?
Oeditpus Rex: Ah well, a dromedary has one hump and a camel has a refreshment car, buffet, and ticket collector.
Call Me Wesley: Mr. Rex, aren't you in fact a train spotter?
Oeditpus Rex: What?
Call Me Wesley: Don't you in fact spot trains?
Oeditpus Rex: Oh, you're no fun anymore. I'll throw them under a camel.
Call Me Wesley: If you can spot one.

My Friend Oedi III



(Scene: a wartime RAF station)

Call Me Wesley: Morning, Squadron Leader.
Oeditpus Rex: What-ho, Squiffy.
Call Me Wesley: How was it?
Oeditpus Rex: Top-hole. Bally Jerry, pranged his kite right in the how's-your-father; hairy blighter, dicky-birded, feathered back on his sammy, took a waspy, flipped over on his Betty Harpers and caught his can in the Bertie.
Call Me Wesley: Er, I'm afraid I don't quite follow you, Squadron Leader.
Oeditpus Rex: It's perfectly ordinary banter, Squiffy. Bally Jerry, pranged his kite right in the how's-your-father; hairy blighter, dicky-birded, feathered back on his sammy, took a waspy, flipped over on his Betty Harpers and caught his can in the Bertie.
Call Me Wesley: No, I'm just not understanding banter at all well today. Give us it slower.
Oeditpus Rex: Banter's not the same if you say it slower, Squiffy.

AIR RAID SIRENS
(Enter Will Pitt, out of breath)

Will Pitt: Bunch of monkeys on the ceiling, sir! Grab your egg-and-fours and let's get the bacon delivered!
Oeditpus Rex: I didn't get a word of it.
Call Me Wesley: Sorry, old man, we don't understand your banter.
Will Pitt: You know -- bally tenpenny ones dropping in the custard! Um -- Charlie choppers chucking a handful!
Call Me Wesley: No no -- sorry. Say it slower, old chap.
Will Pitt: Slower *banter*, sir?
Call Me Wesley: Ra-ther.
Will Pitt: Um -- sausage squad up the blue end?
Oeditpus Rex: No, still don't get it.
Will Pitt: Um -- cabbage crates coming over the briny?

Oeditpus Rex: But by then it was too late. The first cabbage crates hit London on July the 7th. That was just the beginning.
Call Me Wesley: Five shillings a dozen? That's ordinary cabbages, is it? And what about the bombs? ... Good Lord, they _are_ expensive.

16. You should flirt more.
With Oeditpus Rex (helpful hint: call him "Oedi," pronounced "Eddie," in your journal) and Call Me Wesley. And flirting with Will Pitt would probably get you on the Greatest Page with unseemly regularity. :evilgrin:

about the Italian guy at the train station who told me his name was "Eddie" and invited me to go with him _on the bus_ to his place for a beer last summer. :blush:

21. Huh?
Oh, it was just 'Eddie' inviting her to come to his place on da bus. Ya know, for a beer or two, watching some movies, perhaps listening to some Barry Manilow and dance a little and stuff (pop some Viagra and Xanax (thanks to Pfizer) until you don't care anymore) ...

She was waiting for her brother in law to pick her up, but unfortunately, she was waiting right outside a bar where you can have a small talk with a woman, going to a place, athing some movies, listening to Barry Manilow and stuff ... :P

25. Yeahbut
You were supposed to get a detailed description of him from her, then keep going back to that bar until you found him, and then kick his ass.

Or are your knuckles too good to drag the ground? :eyes:
