2:47. Anybody awake? Even if it's onlyl 11:47 your time?

[crim son]

I won't sleep tonight and require entertaining stories, or naked dances if you have them. :P No, seriously! :bounce:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. My dear crim son!

I am awake!

I got home from my weekly poetry reading at the local coffee house about 90 minutes ago!

I've still got some adrenaline running...

It's keeping me awake!

No naked dances from me, sweetie...:scared:

[crim son]

3. Well hell.

Peg, what's the difference between exposing your deepest emotion of the moment and your naked body? Don't be shy! Don't have personal dignity!

:) How'd the recital go?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. It went well, thanks!

I only got to read one poem, and they were videotaping!

They taped everyone who agreed...

I might make it onto YouTube yet...

I'll know in about a month!

Trust me, you do not want to see my naked body! :puke:


I'm toddling...Can hardly keep my eyes open...

Have a good night, L!

:hug:

[crim son]

18. Thank you Peggy

All bodies are beautiful. Period!

[reformedrepub]

2. Hang on

I gotta shed this kilt.....

[crim son]

4. I'm not suggesting that you bore me in your kilt!

Quite the contrary... I am self-conscious boring you so I am looking for cheap validation!

Uh, the kilt. Is it off? :P

[reformedrepub]

6. I am sans kilt

[crim son]

9. Ah! And I just bid you a sodden goodbye.

It is perhaps appropriate that the hour the kilt comes off is the time I say my fond farewell. :P

[Skittles]

5. I am always awake all night

always

[crim son]

10. Don't believe you.

What time zone are you in?

[Skittles]

16. Central

I work 12 hour shifts 5:30 PM to 5:30 AM and generally keep the same hours when I am off :)

[Heidi]

11. No rest for the ass kickers?????

:P

[Skittles]

17. I sleep during the day - and usually only 4 or 5 hours

vampire, you know :D

[Heidi]

19. I can state as a fact that your ass-kicking prowess

is sorely missed during the day. Truly. :7

[Skittles]

22. I'm around during the day on occasion

usually because of some kind of appointment - look for me on teeth-cleaning days, for example :D

I make myself go to lunch with friends sometimes too.

Really, my life is so odd - I'm out running around at 0200 in the morning and it's as normal to me as 2:00 PM is to the day world. :D

[Heidi]

7. Mornin', sunshine.

Here's an entertaining story (well, I find it entertaining, in retrospect):

The first time I came to meet Call Me Wesley's family, he met me at the train station in Zurich, and we rode the train across 3.5 hours across Switzerland to his mother's home in Ticino.

When we arrived at his mother's house, CMW introduced me and his mother's first words to me were, "Would you like to douche?"

Stunned, I turned to CMW and asked, "What does she think we _did_ on the train????"

Turns out, "douche" in the term many German speakers use for "shower."

:blush:

[crim son]

13. LOL!

I've done enough traveling in France to have guessed her meaning! You know, if she spoke slowly. As a longtime American citizen, I am always surprised by the size of bathing faciliies abroad. I'm tall and long-limbed and never escape the shower without a few bruises.

Hi Heidi! It's morning for you? For me too, soon. I think I should eat. What say you? :pals:

[Heidi]

15. Eat something.

It's 9:11 a.m. and I'm on my second cup of coffee, heading toward a third. By 10 a.m. I'll be: :bounce:

Whatcha gonna eat? (Suddenly, I'm hungry.)

[crim son]

20. A chicken salad wrap

with bacon and ranch dressing. You?

[Heidi]

21. Well, I'm not sure yet.

I don't usually eat until 1 or so. Maybe I'll walk up to the village and get a croissant.

What I'd really like is a Mountain Dew and a package of BBQ Fritos. :7

[crim son]

25. Heidi, Heidi!

IxNay on the Dew and the Fritos! Take it from me, recently ballooned into a middle-aged silhouette and deeply saddened by the change! A croissant is good: carrot sticks are better. :7

[Heidi]

26. Fortunately, Switzerland still is a developing nation, so BBQ Fritos

and Mountain Dew are among the luxuries unavailable to us expatriates. Air conditioning is another. x(

[crim son]

27. I don't know Switzerland. I do, however, know Italy and Germany.

You can still eat dry bread and prosciutto. Don't try to tell me those aren't available! :P

[Heidi]

28. Are you suggesting, missy, that dry bread and prosciutto are adequate substitutes

for Mountain Dew* and and BBQ Fritos????? For SHAME! And all this time I thought you were a woman of refined tastes. :rofl: :spray:

*I'd take a Peach Nehi in lieu of Mountain Dew. :P

[crim son]

30. Okay. I've tried to be subtle and I've tried to be kind.

I've tried to acknowledge your limited resources but Heidi! Wherefore are the Eggo waffles? What be-haps with plain old peanut butter on toast? I sense you have lost feeling for your roots! And this, without actually knowing your roots! The shame is all yours, International Wench! :rofl:

[Heidi]

31. I was born in Arkansas and raised in Oklahoma.

BBQ Fritos _are_ my roots. :rofl: :spray:

[crim son]

33. I KNEW IT!

And yet, Heidi. Do you taste the Freedom Fries? I think not. :patriot:

[Heidi]

35. Hahahahahahahahaha!

We cut out the blind nationalism here and just call 'em "pom frits." ;)

And with that, I bid you good night and sweet dreams. You, gf, are a delight, but I must now go in search of BBQ Fritos get some work done. :hug: :hug:

[crim son]

58. Uh, yeah.

:hug: Thank you Heidi. You are also a delight, a distant delight though misguided in your search for nourishment. :hug:

[Heidi]

82. True confession:

I almost ate at McDonald's in Geneva last week, but was dissuaded by my traveling companion, Davide, a couture-dressed Swiss-Italian who loves McDonald's fries but would rather die than be _seen_ eating there. :rofl:

But you've gotta cut me some slack. I haven't had _any_ fast food since mid-1999. Even a chicken-fried chick from the South the most discerning, well-traveled and refined woman gets a cravin' once in a while. :7

[SPKrazy]

12. once upon a time...

:P

wait...

lemme get a sammich

[crim son]

14. You're awake?

Pawpicker!
Wait. lemme get a sammich.

[SPKrazy]

23. I smell skunk

smelled him/her earlier

still smell him/her

hermetically sealed apartment, once smell is in must never leave? :shrug:

was asleep

woke up and smelled the skunk still

got a drink etc.

still smelled skunk

so i dunno if i'm really awake or not

maybe skunk is dead outside?

:puke:

either that or as i told someone earlier, maybe parche's heineken water tower blew up :P

awful thought... heat is on, what if no wait, i'm on the second floor and heating unit is in ceiling...never mind

skunk

[crim son]

24. Okay, you insane person.

I didn't read the skunk diatribe earlier. Hey my friend, the skunk smell is a sign of spring! Let your heart o'erflow with joy, because the warm weather (soft, movable soil) is right around the corner.

This is the second time I envy somebody on DU. Pass that malleable soil!

[taterguy]

29. Awake and ready to entertain

Any requests?

[crim son]

32. Okay.

Please send those pics you've alluded to. I believe I'm ready. :P

Either that, taterguy, or send your best wishes. I will be immensely satisfied whatever route you choose.

[taterguy]

36. Here's a pic that may or may not satisfy

And good wishes are a given

[crim son]

38. That is a fine pic, taterguy.

I feel a tingle, and appreciate it. :7

[taterguy]

41. Chicks dig rock gods

Right?

[crim son]

45. Truth.

Rock Gods, and lovely men with facial hair and minimal clothing in general. We're kinda predictable that way.

[taterguy]

56. Here's hair for you, probably more than you wanted

[crim son]

61. I am pitiably indifferent to dogs

which curbed my early interest in you :P but the hairy chest, this I can appreciate.

[taterguy]

77. Looks like that's the only available chest hair pic I have

Except for ones that would get this thread locked of course

:evilgrin:

[crim son]

78. Of course.

The Moderators, they are officious.!

[taterguy]

80. It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it

[Adsos Letter]

34. I will loan you the book I'm reviewing for my Historical Methods seminar...

it will certainly put you to sleep... :D

[crim son]

40. I doubt it.

I am used to mind-bendingly boring analysis and can always find a way to appreciate it, more's the pity.

[Adsos Letter]

44. well then...it's a bit of a different theme from taterguy's pic, but...

how about some fungi? :D

[crim son]

51. FunGus AmonGus.

My loins are a-stirring! :rofl:

[Adsos Letter]

59. Sunset?

:D

[Adsos Letter]

53. Flowers?

[crim son]

60. Lovely single rose.

She would not live comfortably in my climate though she'd smell better than the fungii!

[Adsos Letter]

64. Well then...how about a slightly used cannon?

:D

[crim son]

67. If I may own the property and presumable dignity that comes with the cannon.

There are a number of these cannons up in Quebec City, though they are placed on the green grass for only a few months of the year.

Historical death is infinitely more palatable than contemporary death, no?

[Adsos Letter]

68. ...true...and much more tidy, it seems...

Trostle Farm at Gettysburg... (Two July's ago)

[Adsos Letter]

70. Have you no soft spot in your heart for the poor sweet potato...?

:D

[crim son]

72. My heart weeps for that orange potato.

How could you imagine otherwise?

[Adsos Letter]

75. Ah, alas...

the poor sweet potato is often misunderstood...

I leave you with some flowers, and wish you the best of days, crim son:





Good Morning to you, Madam... :hi:

[crim son]

76. I could protest.... "Mesdemoiselles..." but that would be a disgusting lie!

I know the flowers you posted but for some reason can't remember the name... wisteria? I think so. The scent is wonderful and the blossoms poisonous should anybody be so stupid as to eat one.

Good Morning to you, Monsieur. :hi:
edited for crappy french!

[Adsos Letter]

54. Sweet Potato?

[crim son]

79. There it is again, in a cut-glass container, its infant fronds

yearning toward the light. It's just like an infant. Let us have a photograph three months hence!

edited for at least one error in prose. I should really go to bed but if that doesn't happen please excuse any other crap I post. Yes?

[Fox Mulder]

37. 3:20 am Central and I'm still awake.

I don't have any entertaining stories for you, though. :(

[crim son]

42. How about entertaining videos or pics?

Geez. I wish I had something for you!

[MissHoneychurch]

39. I'm around

10.30am my time :hi:

[crim son]

43. Yabbut

that's totally unrealistic. According to your clock, my boyfriend told me to fuck off nine hours ago. By my reckoning that's dead wrong! :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

46. One word

OK, two: Time Warp :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdu7xoHU9DA

[crim son]

65. It's almost 5:00 a.m. and you've woken me up MissHoneychurch!

Wench! Why does it sound like it's dubbed from English to German and back to English again?

Thanks! :pals:

[MissHoneychurch]

69. Must be the British accent

:D

[Adsos Letter]

47. Good Morning MissHoneychurch....!

Flower for you? :D

[MissHoneychurch]

50. Well thank you

what an honor :blush:

Good morning to you too

[Adsos Letter]

55. Desert Sunset for your morning?

:D

[MissHoneychurch]

57. Oh wow

that is gorgeous. Were is that? And did you take it?

[Adsos Letter]

62. Yep...I took all of these...

it is up in Cedarville, California. I took it this last July...

Let's see...how about a rainstorm I caught in New Mexico a couple of years ago?

[Adsos Letter]

66. Beach (California, above San Francisco)?

:D

[MissHoneychurch]

71. I remember you posting that pic

in the photography group.

It is such a powerful picture.

[Adsos Letter]

73. It was an incredibly powerful place to be...

It was on the Acoma Indian Reservation...and it was very hot and quiet...hard to describe, but it really left an impression on me.

Edit: WHOOPS! I thought you were talking about the Acoma Rainstorm :blush: Yes, that is my youngest daughter, at Salmon Creek Beach.

I leave you with some fungi; they have their own kind of beauty...



And I am off to bed.


I hope your day brings good things MissHoneychurch!!!

:hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

74. Sweet dreams

[Guava Jelly]

48. mornen crim son

:D :hi:

[crim son]

49. Good morning dear friend.

I'm not in fact here. Tell nobody! :hug: I wish you a wonderful day.

[Guava Jelly]

52. I haven't seen you at all

:D
I wish you the same :pals: :hug:

[crim son]

63. All the better you haven't seen me.

It's one of my once-monthly sleepless nights! But BABY! I'm hot with greasy hair and my soiled sweater!

[DarkTirade]

81. I'm gonna do a little dance.
