inviting_ever_dumbening jane what are you doing on the 7th of april? 070327 ... Dew Drop Inn He'll be coming over to my house for dinner, do you hear that, MY house, and he'd better be bringing me lots of presents, or I'll be pissed. DO YOU HEAR THAT EVER_DUMBENING? YOU'D BETTER BRING ME SOME PRESENTS ON APRIL 7TH. In return, there will be teacakes and hookahs. 070327 ... ever dumbening would be honored well i didn't think i had plans, but i'm scared that dew drop inn is going to kick my ass if i don't hang out with him or her. so i you if you had something else in mind oh_sweet_lauren_jane then please talk with ddi and maybe you could negociate some scheduling flexibilities. but i'm pretty much up for whatever. 070327 ... Facet IOUs This blathe shall surely stand the test of time. 070328 ... ever dumbening: ashamed and awaiting punishment hey jane, apparently our blathe is not up to the standards of the facetted one. being of german lutheran descent, i feel an overwhelming sense of guilt. i am now forced to ask you to join me in livening up this blathe. shall we write a song, some poetry perhaps, or maybe recant wistfully the days of yore? we could ask riddles, draw ascii art, or perhaps pen some salacious erotica. oh forget it, facetious is right, this will never live up to all the other great text here. those others will carry oon (sic), while this lone blathe will wither and die, for want of love no less. let us pack our blather bags and shove off, never to return to this sad lonely worthless blathe. 070328 ... jane: the punisher pch-shew [the sound of a whip cracking] poem: don't ask me no questions and i won't tell you no lies. 070329 ... jane p.s. i'm stealing you on the 7th of april. this has to do with san_francisco & painting. i know you want to be there. 070329 ... jane p.p.s. the poem is by lynyrd_skynyrd 070329 ... ever dumbening thank you mistress jane, may i please have another? lynyrd skynyrd, ah yes. several etched memories of this band. to wit: i'm about seven years old, and my oldest brother takes me to a record store for a promotion they're having surrounding the release of "gimme back my bullets." part of the fun involves a wet t-shirt contest; did i mention i was seven? wheeee. sitting out in dave nalesniks backyard, talking with a few folks, burning a spliff. someone is from alabama. someone else says, "sweet home alabama." person from alabama says, "alabama get away, get away." and then one time taking a cab from new orleans airport, the cabbie cranks up some skynyrd and says, "whoo, man, i love southern rock." me too, bro, me too. whooo indeed. painting and sand_francisco sounds good. 070329 ... Dew Drop Inn Please bring gifts to my house instead, Ever_Dumbening! Please please please! Just think of how wonderful it would be to bring gifts to the house of Me. See, Ever_Dumbening, I'd like that a lot and it would make my heart go pitter-pat. It would probably be a good idea for you to attempt to twitterpate me with increasing frequency, until you have fully won me over. So please, come over to MY house on April 7th. P.S. Don't worry about that sasshole, Facet_IOUs. They are just envious that I am not inviting THEM to bring me gifts on April 7th, so you can see how coveted a position it is to be at my house, on April 7th, with gifts for me. 070330 ... ever dumbening played by troy mcclure all this pushing, pulling, castigation. i don't know what path to choose. i'm like apu as the paperboy in "a streetcar named marge": "I am just a simple paperboy, no romance do I seek. I just wanted forty cents, for my deliveries last week. Will this bewitching floozy seduce this humble newsie? Oh, what's a paperboy to...doooooo?" 070331 ... ever dumbening dear dew drop inn, well it appears the eleventh hour is upon us (actually it's only about ten to nine, but anyway). i just spoke with jane, and the plans are set for tomorrow. not knowing where you live, why i'm bringing presents, and whether or not i'll be devoured in some praying mantis type fashion have all led me to believe that hanging out in "the city" with jane is where i'll be tomorrow. please take no offense. yours, 070406 ... Dew Drop Inn Dear Ever_Dumbening, I regret to inform you of your enduring tardiness. It has been the Seventh of April here for nearly four hours and I haven't seen a single gift! Unacceptable! So great is my ire that I am left with no choice but to spitefully uninvite you. Now, even if you do show up with gifts, you will be rudely turned away, perhaps with light-kicking in the picture. However, I have graciously decided to schedule you in for bringing me gifts on the 19th of June. Hopefully I am not forgetting about other plans on that date... Just think! We can hang out all afternoon and talk about me. It will be splendid and between the eighth and ninth bite of your third coffee cake you will repeatedly compliment me on my shins, or perhaps it will be my falcon impersonations which inspire you to compliment me with genuine enthusiasm. Everyone simply adores my falcon impressions. Looking forward to it, DDI 070407 ... ever dumbening: ummagumma gambit ddi, word to your mother on this foggy april 7th. fine shins, falconry, and endless pounds of poundcake are a delight no mortal could refuse. alas, i am planning on attenting the roger_waters show at the oakland arena that very evening, june the 19th. knowing that his show will take every ounce of my spirit and being—what with all the flying pigs, giants prisms, marching hammers, angry orchid-vagina faces and the like—just to faithfully flick my lighter on above my head and say whooo, in true arena-rock fashion, i fear that a day of rapturous raptor delights may weaken my fragile constitution (and you know how beat up the constitution is these days). so then if we could limit the festivities to three, seventeen-minute segments between the hours of 7:42am and 9:13am (thereby allowing sufficient time for us to enjoy pedicures by my highly trained norwegian beauticians between the segments—one foot per intermission), i would be delighted to fete at your inn. e4 070407 ... jane actually i must invite you to the other thing i have to do on that day, june 19th, between 7:45 and 9:15 exactly, that very important thing that involves clams, mooses, and san_diego. this cannot be missed. you can have your sessions between 7:42 and 7:45. which will probably allow for one raptor screech or whatever. 070409 ... ever paintening aka strokin it http://rehtalb.on-wiki.net/MainPage check my page on the above for a photo of what jane and i did on the day in question. heap praise upon the pineapple, and you'll make jane a happy jane. 070413 ... r_r . 091111 ... . . 091111 ... fghio fghio 101114 what's it to you? who go blather from
