Ok, why is it that anytime I start hanging out someplace, it always ends up being filled with the strange folk. I'm not complaining, I am one of the strange folk, so it usually takes me a while to actually notice.

I'm just wondering, in a chicken/egg sort of way. Do I fit in because I am strange? Or does my strangeness infect the others? Or, scariest of all, is there some critical mass of strangeness that occurs where ever the "strange folks" get together, a critical mass that begins to attract more and more strangeness to itself until

BOOOOOMMM

*Deep stentorian voice*

WE HAVE ATTAINED SINGULARITY.

Well, that's a relief.

Now all I have to worry about is the big boom.

I'm not strange in the slightest. Would you like to see my alphabetized lint collection?[1]

[1] no, I don't really have one, but if I did, it'd be cool, right?

Aww, come on. Explosions are fun.

On another note, is there a list of emoticons that work on this forum somewhere?

Bottom of the page, in a little box on the left, where it says Posting Rules?

If you click on Smilies where it says Smilies ON (if they are on for you) it'll bring up a list.

It's also in a drop down when you go to an advance post - rather than a quick post from the bottom of the thread.

Oh, I love me explosions. I just wanted to make sure I brought my hard hat, and reserved a spot behind the counter.

As for smilies, yeah, what the Bostman said.

It's been a productive day. Now time for movie watching and pizza eating until Little K goes to bed.

So many jokes, so little time.

Does he think you'll like his sausage, Fen?

Well he called me twice to insist on how much I'd like it. :D

So, Guy picked me up and we drove to the park before dusk. There was no one else around, and he got out his sausage. I tried some, and since it was good sausage, and well put together, I decided to have more sausage. He did not complain in the least.

We walked around a bit after and then went back to my house. He wanted me to have more of his sausage but too much meat when you aren't used to it can give you gas, so I politely declined. He was a bit put off by this as guys usually are, but he enjoyed his sausage himself and I sat with him and tried not to stare.

Ya know, typical non-date stuff :)

Not as kewl as Polish Sausage.

And I thank you for ruining breakfast for me for at least a month.

In all seriousness, glad your date went well.

And yes, it was a date.

No matter what you say otherwise.

:D

I dunno, he is playing it slow. Sausage offerings aside.

We watched Rise of the Planet of the Apes and he left soon after...

Um, I'll pass. They are having lots stories about sekuhara on TV recently, and the only thing I can think to say is so full of innuendo that I'd get fired if this was work.

(sekuhara = sexual harrassment, for everyone else -- the Japanese like to make single words out of multiple-word non-Japanese terms by taking the first syllable or so of each word.)

I offer you Exhibit A: the E-Z Freeze, full of how many men?

DON'T put any more in there. They'll crush my popsicles. Also, the bulb went off in there and someone needs to replace it STAT, because extracting a popsicle is now much more difficult and embarrassing than it used to be. :(

*slides Hillz a pangalactic gargle blaster*

Grazie.

Ah, nothing like a little confidence. :D

You know, I would really like to comment on how difficult it is to get a good sausage in this country. But the current context makes that extremely dangerous. At least I can get good cheese.

That was the one thing I had a heck of a time finding in Shanghai when I lived there.

I am working on my brother's resume (accent!) for him...and I'm terribly tempted to add horrific things to the skills section. That would be wrong, wouldn't it? :evil
