    Seven Ball Tango

    ------------ *clap clap clap* Sweet! I laughed hard at the "atonal music" quip by Gonzo. Love the additions you made to Kermit's peanu--er, portrait gallery. The progression of relationships between Scooter and Amanda, and the frog & pig, seems well-paced and reasoned out. Good job. Hey...

    So We'll Go No More A-Roving, for Fear of Furry Monsters

    Part Forty Scooter sighed, and shuffled through the pile of papers clipped in his notebook yet again. “I’m sorry, boss, but I just don’t see how we can manage the pyrotechnics and all the location set-ups! Even if Crazy Harry gets released by Homeland Security anytime this century, we still...

    How I Spent My Summer Vacation (A Muppet Fic)

    --------------- Huh. *headscratching* Er...has he tried Hare Krishna? (Come on, guys, SOMEBODY had to say it.) Very cute. The dentist's office being "one of their more lucrative gigs" cracked me up. Ditto the "pound" joke. So... was that actually Teeth's house? Or was he, y'know, just...

    Silly things you said, did, or thought as a kid

    -------------- Wow, is that the REAL chant? I never knew that! I thought it was all nonsense words. After all, these are evil grunts and flying monkeys...no reason for them to communicate in English (or Oz-ish, I guess)... Now you have my brain seguing into "Where There's a Whip" from the...

    Internet Doomsday...what?

    --------------- Do I really need to say it? Yet another reason why Macs are better...there are almost NO Mac viruses, and they aren't affected by crap like this, ever. Not being smug. Just still wondering how an inefficient and easily broken system somehow became the near-monopoly in the first...

    None Like it Hot: The "I Hate the Heat" Club

    You made me snort from trying to stifle a laugh, Snowth. :) I've been putting out seed and water for the birds 'cos it seems like there isn't anything for them...hot as hades and a drought. MONTHS of drought. And today we have smoke haze from wildfires. Lovely. Supposedly the monsoon starts...

    Dealing with depression and anxiety

    ------------ DQM, hope you can face the retest calmly. Like Charlie said, now you know basically what's on it (though they may give you an altered version of it, so don't expect it to be exactly the same test -- though it might be) you should be able to attack it more effectively. Yeah, the 10...

    What do you know about dreams?

    -------------- Heavy, Snowth...any sense of impending and unavoidable catastrophe in your life lately? Mine this morning/afternoon (I slept all day -- glorious) was unusual. I dreamt I was a Muppet version of Brian Williams. *waits for laughter to subside* Okay, being someone else in a dream...

    Questions about anything

    -------------- Nothing better than a rant mix to yell along with if you're PO'd. Helps every time. I have a cd I call my "sunshine happy mix", and it's all Tool, older NIN, classic Metallica, etc. No, not really death rock, but loud and dark enough for me... --------------

    things you used to want to do.

    Or Guy Smiley! I thought I might teach English. Then I realized how much paperwork and bureaucratic BS teachers have to put up with. And THEN I realized I don't have the patience for stupid people, of any age group... I do still want to see every national park, though. My ex and I started...
