dear experts,

i participated in this text exchange today:

friend: what nationality was pablo picasso?
me: spanish
friend: thanks!
me: are you cheating at trivial pursuit?
friend: it was the question of the day at the bank.
me: what is my prize!
......
me: what is my prize!??
friend: a high five.

so, experts, can i call bullshit? shouldn't i get the prize or at least part of it?

Frankly Lxy, having a good friend is a pretty good prize in and of itself!

lxy, i would LOVE to be your new better replacement expert.

dear experts,

do you think they purposely size tic-tac boxes such that tic-tacs wedge together along the sides, and you have to bang the box around a lot to dislodge them? do they suppose that if others hear the tic-tac eater madly rattling tic-tacs, they will want to buy their own tic-tacs?

also, if i have my corrective lenses propped on top of my head when the sun is shining hot and high, am i at risk of setting my hair on fire?

thanks for your help!

dear lxy,

when my nephew was very small and in my care he shoplifted some tic-tacs and hid them in a tic-tac sized pocket in his tiny elastic waisted shorts (the box fit the pocket perfectly, like they were made for each other) and would have got away with it except he rattled when we ran down the street.

does your hair have the properties of ants or autumn leaves, if so, be very careful, in fact, just don't do it.

dear experts,

this morning i saw the image of the virgin mary in a lawn bowling instruction sheet that a friend left here the other night. what does it mean?

yours,
lx

lxy, Wednesday, 24 September 2008 04:35 (fifteen years ago) link

dear lxy,

it means that soon you will have hordes of noisy catholics assembled outside your window eating corn nuts and bobbing hopefully like miis while they offer up rosaries to the holy lawn bowling instruction sheet of seattle.

yours, estela

estela, Wednesday, 24 September 2008 10:01 (fifteen years ago) link

^not an expert

lxy, Wednesday, 1 October 2008 05:46 (fifteen years ago) link

put the pert back in expert

frequa (jergins), Wednesday, 1 October 2008 05:51 (fifteen years ago) link

dear lxy,

i recommend a full reinstatement of expert status plus a sincere proclamation of <3.

<3 (like that), estela

p.s. i see the pert has already been put back in impertinent (in a good way).

estela, Wednesday, 1 October 2008 07:47 (fifteen years ago) link

thank you, estela.

dear maxpert,

  • if you know anything about me whatsoever, you know that i did not seriously fire you from your job.
  • if you are the libran i believe you to be, you wholeheartedly regret calling me a jerk and have resolved never to do it again.
  • if you truly aspire to expertism, you will remove that dash, get your pert in gear, and start answering questions like the professional i know you can be!
which is to say, <3

This is truly heartwarming!!!!

I love all of you, even Lingbert, and even Grady, who I hugged once. I suspect that in real life this board is probably the most attractive of all ILX boards. I harbor no ill will against any of you and apologize, sincerely, for my mistakes.

Today is a new day, and tomorrow as well. Let us walk together, arm in arm, over the threshold of the present into the gleaming dawn of the future, and neither forget, nor turn back.

With the deepest of love, and greatest affection,

aww and haw!

lxy, Wednesday, 1 October 2008 20:24 (fifteen years ago) link

experts,

most days when i leave down the front steps, and most nights when i come up the front steps, a spider has spun a web across, netting me in the face. this keeps happening. do i kill this spider or what?

thanks,

jergins, Wednesday, 1 October 2008 21:25 (fifteen years ago) link

dear jergins,

i have a wonderful answer for this at the ready, but i am going to let sweet max have first dibs.

<3, estela

estela, Wednesday, 1 October 2008 23:26 (fifteen years ago) link

dude just move the spider to a different part of the yard

Lingbert, Thursday, 2 October 2008 01:07 (fifteen years ago) link

fuck you come here and move it yourself!

frequa (jergins), Thursday, 2 October 2008 02:09 (fifteen years ago) link

the only living things i'll touch are apples still on a tree and coochie. you know this lingbert.

frequa (jergins), Thursday, 2 October 2008 02:14 (fifteen years ago) link

Hey Jergins,

Here's the thing: you can kill the spider if you want, but if my mom finds out she's going to be sad, and maybe a little disappointed in you. And I might tell her. You also might consider that maybe the spider is thinking, what is the deal with this guy who keeps ruining my web? You know?

Hope this helps!

Cheers,

I'd like to hear Estela's answer now if possible.

frequa (jergins), Thursday, 2 October 2008 02:43 (fifteen years ago) link

oh my god you don't have to actually touch the spider...................just grab a piece of the web it is hanging on to and then pull it behind u like a fucking arachnoid kite.................

then u can just stick it onto an other shrub or some thing........................................

Lingbert, Thursday, 2 October 2008 05:27 (fifteen years ago) link

you sound quite angry, like a ventomologist.
