i want to make some MISCHIEF, what can i do?

Run up to boys, pull their pigtails and run away again.

Trying to find new wallpaper for the home 'puter.

Damn, I wish this work 'puter would do wallpaper. :-(

Good mischief doesn't result in eyes being poked out, just confusion leading to hilarious consequences. Why don't you re-arrange some furniture? Or showing frogs to scared boys?

xxx-post Kate - what switches are busted on Jazzy?

Dr.C (Dr.C), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 13:58 (seventeen years ago) link

The important one that switches between the knobs and the dials.

Mischief is the spice of life. Start telling a selection of Pete lies. Did you know that the Pope is not the head of state of The Vatican?

Torchwood = like the X-Files from the other side, where the impressive trenchcoated and torchlighted heroes are the men (and women) in black whose job it is to cover up all the mysteries. Sadly not as good as Men In Black. Also a study of sexual mores in Binge Britain, and of how interoffice tensions work them selves out in a no-oversight "we are the law" setting (these two observations nicked from mark s, but steal from the best). Lots of boy on boy and girl on girl action, if that's what your mother likes. Captain Jack is the leader - he's not very good at it, but it does mean that he's less Jackish than in the main series.

Prepositions, Ed, they could save your life! 'Dance with' as in 'adjacent to, and ideally eventually overlapping'. It seems a standard tool in the modern bachelor's repetoire, but I've rarely even noticed the opportunity until afterwards.

xpost - yikes. Is it stuck on riddim circuit? Should be possible to fix tho.

Dr.C (Dr.C), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 14:08 (seventeen years ago) link

No Star Trek on this thread. Only Dr. Who and Babylon 5.

Q: How many Vorlons does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: PERHAPSSSSSS....

x-post I could probably be able to fix it if I got a new switch thing. It has snapped off.

You can mend just about anything with superglue!

Not guitars. I'm pretty good with a soldering iron on my pedals, but bad things tend to happen when I take my guitars to pieces...

...I could rule the universe if I had a Sonic Soldering Iron.

masonic boom (kate), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 14:11 (seventeen years ago) link

Run up to boys, pull their pigtails and run away again.

this is v appealing to me. but would it be appealing to said boys? unfortunately i have no frogs.

emsk ( emsk ), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 14:16 (seventeen years ago) link

...or a Sonic Smouldering Iron.

masonic boom (kate), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 14:17 (seventeen years ago) link

Dancing without injury to myself or others is not something in my reportoire. I was so bruised after the cut a shine solstice do. I'd like to think I was set upon by dykes but I believe it was all self inflicted.

Emsk, you will never know until you try.

Ed (dali), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 14:19 (seventeen years ago) link

Actually, I think I tripped over you at Cut A Shine solstice which may account for some of the bruising. I do apologise, I blame the alkyhell.

If you find a boy with pigtails to pull, please to let me know. Especially if freckles are involved. I would like to... err, watch.

masonic boom (kate), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 14:20 (seventeen years ago) link

?!?

emsk ( emsk ), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 14:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Freckles are cute. As are pigtails.

Oh, never mind, the universal translator is playing up again and I am making no sense.

masonic boom (kate), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 14:26 (seventeen years ago) link

ahahahaha! yep i know your freckles/pigtails wuv. i dunno if i want to be um er a voyee tho, even if it is just um er pigtail-pulling.

masonic boom (kate), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 14:31 (seventeen years ago) link

ANYWAY ANYWAY, the one i am thinking of you would not think he was cuet.

emsk ( emsk ), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 14:45 (seventeen years ago) link

or the other one.

emsk ( emsk ), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 14:48 (seventeen years ago) link

I am having post-lunch slump and am doing a sad.

masonic boom (kate), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 14:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Kate and emsk love asterix.

Ed (dali), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 14:49 (seventeen years ago) link

I dunno about girls in pigtails. I think the jury is still out on that one.

ASTERIX! Thank you. For some reason I thought Brian Blessed had pig tails in Flash Gordon, but I may have been thinking Asterix.

I have a friend who goes *very* melty if her pigtails are pulled.

J Depp in Pirates Of The Whatsit: The Thingy Of Someone-Or-Other has a pigtailed beard, of course.

Forest Pines (ForestPines), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 14:53 (seventeen years ago) link

*bouncebouncebounce*

haha jb i cannot believe you aren't sure about pigtails, with your love of teh twee indiegurls!

emsk ( emsk ), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 14:54 (seventeen years ago) link

Girls in pigtails are so cuet. At least, people used to tell me so when I still wore my hair thusly. Once upon a time.

masonic boom (kate), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 15:00 (seventeen years ago) link

OMG my office crush has just walked in!

SHe's wearing groovy flares!

And she's got pigtails! She's soooo hott!

She's gone over to Finance!

Eeeep, what do I do?

Johnney B has zeros off the line (stigoftdumpilx), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 15:03 (seventeen years ago) link

I must try to stop flinging my head round. It's the least subtle glance ever.

Johnney B has zeros off the line (stigoftdumpilx), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 15:05 (seventeen years ago) link

Learn accounting. Now.

masonic boom (kate), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 15:05 (seventeen years ago) link

hm now i am considering pigtails which i have not done for about three or four years! if i do that to my hair they each curl up at the end a bit like pippi longstocking.

emsk ( emsk ), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 15:06 (seventeen years ago) link

Emsk, do you like your hair in pigtails? If so, i reckon go 4 it.

Grrr, stupid co-worker asked me how to do a pivotTable and while I was doing that, officecrush disappeared. Damn, I'm gonna have to track her down.

Johnney B has zeros off the line (stigoftdumpilx), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 15:22 (seventeen years ago) link

I am now imagining you prowling thru the office in the tiger costume...

MarkH (MarkH), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 15:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Argh, I have now finished Giant Johnny, as the owner was coming and hovering over my shoulder. The reason it was not done on the 1st of the month is... THAT WAS A PUBLIC HOLIDAY!!!

Anyway, it is done now. Phew.

Tomorrow starts month end and year end and I'm scared.

masonic boom (kate), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 15:27 (seventeen years ago) link

I scrolled up to see pics of Romana to comfort me from my dematerializing crush, and lo and behold she's gone from the top of the screen! Now I truly do know what it's like to walk in Kate's shoes . . . xpost

Maybe that's what's needed. Less twee self-examination, more stoaty musky foxy tiger prowling.

Johnney B has zeros off the line (stigoftdumpilx), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 15:28 (seventeen years ago) link

Emsk, do you like your hair in pigtails?

yeh, quite. i used to do it most often when it looked like shit and there was no time for a shower. once or twice for going dancing but dancing is rubbish without loads of hair to throw around if you're used to having loads of hair to throw around. maybe i will experiment tonight.

emsk ( emsk ), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 15:36 (seventeen years ago) link

Hello all! Nearly at the end of holiday visit to Mpls. Last night interviewed new congressman at his sendoff in engineers' union hall which had a classic-design logo inlay in the tiles which Ed would find cool. Tons of media from all over the world, not just yr. usual local schlubbs.

You've got a report called Giant Johnny? My reputation etc . . .

Johnney B has zeros off the line (stigoftdumpilx), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 15:45 (seventeen years ago) link

(The company owner's name is Johnny.)

masonic boom (kate), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 15:50 (seventeen years ago) link

Waaaah! Nobody is saying hello!

Kate, glad no war fought with yr mum. I'm almost out of the woods here, too.

Hello Suzy!!!!

When do you get home?

It feels a bit weird to be in my flat by myself at the moment, but kinda nice after living on top of someone for weeks. I expect I shall miss her when I go home and the flat is all cold and empty.

masonic boom (kate), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 16:07 (seventeen years ago) link

Hiya Suzy!

Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 16:08 (seventeen years ago) link

hehe, that picture of Red Fraggle = me when I was at university (except I was without tail and I did tend to wear clothing below my waist)

ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 16:10 (seventeen years ago) link

omg red! she was my fave fraggle.

and

HELLO, SUZY!

emsk ( emsk ), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 16:12 (seventeen years ago) link

Hello, Emsk! Hello, Kate, Hello, YMOF! Hello, birds, hello trees!

Flying back tomorrow, arriving home Friday morning. Ridiculous transfer at Houston Bush International and thus longer travel times which means possible incidence of old crankypaws but at least walk home with suitcase from station is about 200m.

Annoyed about half a stone weight gain, wish I could leave it here in the land of sky-blue waters (filled with bovine growth hormone). I blame cheese, potatoes, microwaves and ridiculous US-only cravings. Steam room, am coming to get you...
