Terminalcoffee discussion

This is for those times that you come here and nothing, NOTHING is happening. Monologues welcome.

Right now it's 6:19 and nobody is here. I was hoping to park myself for awhile, but alas, now I have no excuse.

I think I'll go through People that Richard just brought home from the airport, the new issue not out yet! But I don't know why I get so excited because I usually toss it in 10 minutes. Don't know most of the people, don't wanna know, don't like the ones I do know. Plus their journalism disturbs me.

I'll go hit the refresh button now, and see if anyone popped up.

Excuse me Lori, did you just call me a nobody?

Jim. Yep. Yay for nobodies!

Bun, can't nap after coffee oh no no no.

I can drink a cup of coffee, and ten minutes later fall asleep.

Grizzle, Grizzle, Grizzle. It is 12.35pm here. The Dead zone lasts a lot longer for me!

Not just 12:53, but noon tomorrow!

Yay.Yes it's Friday. Only a few hours until the weekend and I have Monday off as well!!!

Heading towards 8.00pm for you Thursday?

Exactly! Almost time to call it a day.

TGIF!

Y'all should try the 3AM dead zone. That reeeeeeally sucks.

Let's back up a bit, shall we, to your characterization of me as a "curmudgeon."

Don't we already have the "doddamn GR dead zone" thread?

But still. Mary and I were on last night with Sher for a while. It was quite unlike 10 am, when all y'all are pecking out responses faster than I can check on them.

Hi,Sally. How ya doin'? Where should I go for dinner in Portland tonight?

I looked, Sally, I looked, was probably staring me in the face.

I know, Lori, I can NEVER find threads when I want. I usually end up having to ask heidi to bring it to the top for me.

Larry, you should go down to 1st and Hawthorne, on the downtown side of the Hawthorne bridge, and eat at Veritable Quandry. Either that or the German restaurant on Sandy.

Great suggestions. Thanks. Hope you weekend is "productive."

I can't find the "goddamn dead zone" thread, either. But the dead zone is in full effect...

This thread is now an echo chamber of sorts.

echo!

Hello! Hello!

Hello! Hello!


That's a six hour echo. This must be a BIG room.

no, it's a gymnasium sarah. you have prob played in one of these where the sound just bounces around endlessly

I haven't played many gyms but lots of big echoing warehouse type places.
TC is a gymnasium? Do we have to wear gym shorts? Or play dodgeball? Dodgeball makes me paranoid.

It's like hollering down a well. A deep well.

Kevin says there's a gym at the bottom of the well. If it's my high school gym, it may actually be a very deep well.

Just don't make me climb the rope. I never could do that.

Me neither.

and that is a skill you learn in school that comes up so many times in ones life.

I guess it does if you go on to become a swashbuckling archaeology professor like Indiana Jones.

or a cat burglar

Or a circus performer and/or carny.

carny....small hands...smell like cabbage

Would the small hands affect the ability to climb rope? I'm assuming the smell wouldn't.

Cabbage leaves go in my bra after breastfeeding. There is some chemical in them (BUN?) that makes the pain go away, and the cold feels SO GOOD. But then my boobs heat them up and I start to smell like St Patricks day.

Small hands, check.
Smell like cabbage, check.
Carny, not sure.

That is cool. It reminds me of all the cabbage I ate during this pregnancy too.

Can you make corned beef in there too, Sally?

Heh. Like a toaster oven?

HAHAHA

I never knew that about cabbage, another useful piece of information from the Bun! So it's just plain old green cabbage leaves?

Leah's gonna like cabbage, Sally, babies grow up to like what you've eaten during pregnancy. I hope you've eaten your favorite foods!

cabbage is deer-skusting

MMMMMMMMMMMM I love cabbage. Also gooey butter cake which you can only get in St. Louis and my mom ate constantly while pregnant with me. However, I ate a lot of buffalo wings while pregnant with my first and she DOES NOT like them.

...am I drunk? Should I be posting in "Post here if you're inbred."

I don't know, Gretchen, are you? Only the shadow knows!

I guess your daughter doesn't like to obey the rules!

You people working or something?

...trying not to.

uh....it has been very dead today.

i was just going to say that. not dead enough apparently.

not dead enough?

I've got to go to class. Somebody start a thread. Maybe we're not posting because nobody's drinking. This is weird.

not dead enough for me to say it was dead before you did.

i wonder of i spend more time here when it's dead, because of the obsessive f5'ing to see if there's anyone here, or when it's booming and i can't be bothered to read all of the comments.

Leah has been demanding today. And I don't mean crying. This baby does not cry at me. She's just hungry and growing and cuddling and taking up all my time and my arms. Now she's passed out on my chest and I have my lappy balanced precariously on my knees.

I WANNA BABY
