A Thread for Estela

leaf veins sounds pale green and delicate.

k

thank you for your consideration.

dearest estela,

love,
lxy

dearest estela,

did you accidentally subscribe to a daily email from robot?

xo
lx

probably, though if i did i never received it, which is good because the unhelpfulness of itr might have saddened me.

^dear lxy

as an experiment i subscribed (today) to a daily email from this board. it was sent at 4:05 pdt, and you posted "i just clicked on this board..." at 4:10, so the timing makes me wonder.

being an archivist at heart, i am going to maintain my subscription.

estela, what will you be having thanksgiving dinner?

for?

estela, what will your thanksgiving dinner consist of?

http://www.thanksgiving.org.au/

reading that, it seems like you'll have to eat a picture of john howard

if thanksgiving isn't till may, why do you have to rush to put the tree up now?

i think she's trying to be all accommodating and shit for her husband

oh well then it's because she's nice!

i just read him your posts and he said 'shush'. (xp not your post lxy)

our friend is moving to new york and she loves thanksgiving so we're doing it for her before she goes.

i've never heard of that australian thanksgiving, it looks shit.

so what's for thanksgiving supper? i am interested in knowing.

and tell your husband "just a bit of fun. be cool"

it's me he was shushing, he was trying to sleep at the time of reading.

we'll have turkey, garlic mashed potato, gravy, stuffing, cranberry, vegetables, salad. i have to order the turkey soon because fresh turkeys are usually only required here at christmas, last year i had to get a frozen one and it didn't defrost on time, it was annoying.

and we'll have pumpkin pie, and probably fresh berries and gelato, it's summer here.

last year we had our thanksgiving on the saturday and it was election day here and john howard lost everything, it was very great.

your thanksgiving dinner sounds awesome and i wish it was in front of me right now

i wish you would be there dressed in your santa suit.

that's what all the ladies say

ho ho ho

this morning f. was walking our dog and he saw this mean neighbour of ours and her terrible little angry dog and the dog was jumping up at f. and she said, 'it's because you're eating a banana, he loves bananas, can he have a bit,' so f. broke a piece off and the dog scarfed it down and then the neighbour lady suddenly lunged at the banana and dug her fingers right into it to get more for her dog. f. was taken aback, he threw the rest of it in the trash.

lol!

last week i saw her angrily waving a tennis racquet at some birds, she looked demented and the birds seemed bored, they flapped around a bit then landed back where they'd been at the beginning of the row.

is she a tennis player in addition to being completely crazy and awful?

i know she is a golfer, i'm not sure about tennis.
the truth of the matter is that we sort of enjoy her. you can see her frown from 500 yards away.

i bet you make good stuffing

lol

my secret ingredient is crushed nuts.

crushed nuts??

i think i'm going to retire ashton for awhile.

posting that ashton post felt forced and pretty joyless.

yeah if you kept posting that face it would stay that way

in our minds

i was pleased to see ashton, i'm not tired of it at all.

estela do you like flann o'brien?

i haven't read him, but i like the sound of him. do you like him?

One of The Third Policeman’s many footnotes speculates that Kraus and du Garbandier, two of de Selby’s commentators, were one and the same person. We learn that another de Selby expert, Hatchjaw, is arrested for impersonating himself; and the possibility is mentioned that Hatchjaw was not Hatchjaw at all, but “either another person of the same name or an impostor.”
This ludicrous situation is one which O’Brien and friends attempted with great success to play out in real life, hijacking the letters page of the Irish Times with a host of letters written under false names. The letters formed a kind of chain, with O’Brien often sneering at letters he himself had written under a different name. The modern-day Irish Times will not publish pseudonymous letters, and requests that writers provide a phone number so that their identities can be verified; but at the time, editor R. M. Smyllie, encouraged no doubt by the rising circulation, gave O’Brien his own column on the strength of the letters controversy (which he himself even joined in).

estela, making double-o funnies since 2001

are the o's the same size or is one larger than the other with an underscore separating them.
