YOU BASTARDS. YOU MURDERED IT ALL TO HELL. randomwise.

A couple minutes ago I, having been complaining that I was hungry, finally got out of bed and said, "I'm gonna go forage." The Girl replied, "Are you gonna cold forage?" And then collapsed into a fit of giggles for a good five minutes. As she has once again done now, reading over my shoulder.

[elpollodiablo]

That is pretty good

I think it's been long enough since I mentioned my love of Mr. Nog's comix.

[dieblucasdie]

He also got fuckin' metafiltered and shit last week.

[Ah_Pook]

whoa thats a good comic strip gregs got there

[elpollodiablo]

Wow, Greg! Big ups.

In other news, if the test I just took is any indication, every drama major should have a 4.0 avg.

[Greg Nog]

Oh yeah, I found out about the Body Modifcation EZine thing through an ex who wrote to congratulate me on it; I had no idea that they'd popped up anywhere other than metafilter.  I was pretty delighted to be featured on BME, given the fact that stretch-marks are probably the closest thing my body has to a "modification" of any kind.

and coldforge, please let the lady know that I highly approve of her punnery.

Here's a tip: If you're at a gas station trying to collect money by selling t-shirts for D.A.R.E. (which, honestly, I don't care so much about seeing as how I don't have kids) and someone says, "I don't really want to give you $22 for a t-shirt, can I just give you a few bucks?", take the fucking money. If you choose not to take the money, don't hang about waiting for me to change my mind, because that's weird.

[G.C.R]

Epa! Quiet moment at work, sitting at my desk, I think "Gee, I wonder how Hoshi is doing. Maybe I should call her and see..."
Which OFFICIALLY makes me a crazy cat lady.

[elpollodiablo]

Haha, yeah... I have interactions with my cats on a daily basis that are probably grounds for institutionalization. Thankfully my lady's much the same.

[maggiego]

I am the crazy dog lady. In fact, I HAVE called my dogs in the middle of the day. They just try to bite and/or lick the phone whatever roommate/dogsitter shoves in their direction. I also have an oil painting of Jojo a friend did above my sofa. I have had large unispecies birthday parties for Petey, at which there were hors d'oeuvres trays of carefully arranged rawhides and Snausages and whatnot. My propensity to sing special songs to the boys has been documented elsewhere. So Grace, you are doing relatively well.

I will close with this: my 1 1/2 year old niece calls me Jojo. As in every single time, even though she hasn't seen my dogs in months. We say 'Zoe, say AUNTIE MAGGIE.' To which she chortles 'JOJO!' We have given up on it and now she is being taught to call me 'Jojo's mama'.

ps NO they do NOT wear clothes; that's fucked up.

[Andrew_TSKS]

it's so weird to me that your dog is named the same as one of my best friends. maybe that'd be less weird if her name wasn't so rare. but then again, i don't exactly meet dogs on a daily basis that are named things like "chris" and "mike" and "eric" and "jason" and stuff, and i think if i did i'd get weirded out by that, too.

[elpollodiablo]

Maybe it'd be less weird if your friend didn't have a dog's name, yeah


Now that I have pets again, I wonder how I ever went without them.

[Andrew_TSKS]

well, she is called jojo because her little sister started calling her that when the sister was 2. but actually, i've heard of other people named jojo. it's rare, but it happens. maggie's dog is the first nonhuman i've ever encountered with that name.

i wonder how dudes named peter feel about the rather common dog name "petey".

[elpollodiablo]

Dudes named Peter have enough to worry about

[maggiego]

Petey says guys named Peter can take it, because they are tough. Petey is not Peter, btw.

Jojo is officially George, but he became Jojo within a week.

I have a common dog's name. I love that most Maggies have tails.

[Andrew_TSKS]

i met a girl named maggie recently. she's in a hardcore band from chicago called rager.

she's really pretty:






you know, just to make the random thread even MORE random.

[hannah]

I know a dog named Maggie. And a woman named Maggie. Her hair went white when she was thirty! She is now in her late sixties. I know someone named Jojo. Well, it is a nickname. Her real first name does begin with "Jo," though. She is 22. Her last name is really funny when paired with her nickname, because it makes her sound like she could be a clown of Eastern-European descent! It ends in "-sky" and begins with "klon" and there is nothing in between. See what I mean? I don't know any four-legged creatures named Jojo, though. Maggie, is Maggie your real-assed name or are you Margaret and if so like what is like your Hebrew name?

[slow west vultures]

Maggie, is Maggie your real-assed name or are you Margaret and if so like what is like your Hebrew name?

you guys have secret names?  i'm gonna start making people acknowledge me by confirmation name now. 

[maggiego]

Hi. My name is Margaret. My Hebrew name caused all kinds of problems because it is not Hebrew but Yiddish (Matlah--well actually it could be spelled many other ways-- that's just phonetic). Then at Hebrew School they were like that is NOT your name and I was all it is too bitchez.

Andrew, that Chicago Maggie is cute. You shoulda HTS.

[dieblucasdie]

I never did get confirmed.  I should do that so I can pick a badass confirmation name, like Augustine Josemaria

[maggiego]

And they are not SECRET NAMES--that's kinda gross-- they are like confirmation names, SWV. Shegetz.

[slow west vultures]

hehehe.  augustine was my confirmation name.  i got confirmed at bank one ballpark in a mass confirmation ceremony along with all the other 11th grade catholics in the phoenix area.  i was anointed on the third base line and remember reading interesting facts about old baseball stadiums on my way there.  

[elpollodiablo]

Wow, just like the Moonies
