Posted by tizzie at January 24, 2005 04:54 PMConstant poo-flinging was often cited as grounds for divorce in such cases.
Story of my life, that is...
Posted by: Vidiot on January 25, 2005 12:24 AMOh my god, Lupo, it worked. Yayay! You are so good to me. Thank you!
Posted by: tizzie on January 25, 2005 07:23 PMSpeaking of Impressive Administrative Feats, did someone just (recently) clear out all the accumulated comment spam? Because whoever did, you, sir (or ma'am) are a God.
Well, among monkeys. So, grain of salt.
Posted by: yhbc on January 26, 2005 12:01 AMWoops, I didn't mean to misspell the email address above, although it's really only there as a spam-catcher while I'm on extended semi-hiatus/occasional-lurker/looking-for-a-new-job status. Bona fide MonkeyFriends are reminded that my real address is philevansATverizonDOTnet, if anyone ever wants to drop me a line.
Posted by: yhbc on January 26, 2005 12:06 AMThe goddess who has been cleaning up the spam is our own Dana! Let's give her a big round of applause!
*clap*clap*clap*clap*clap*clap*clap*clap*clap*
Posted by: tizzie on January 26, 2005 08:27 AMIt's no trouble, really. Comment spam is IMO the single most annoying thing aside from sand in one's crevasses.
Posted by: dana on January 26, 2005 09:31 AMI'm relatively crevasse-free, but even I must admit that unwanted sand can be a total bitchcake.
Posted by: Fes on January 26, 2005 10:10 AMIt's a honkin' big deal, is what it is.
That's a significant undertaking.
And like tizzie, I too have claps for you!
Posted by: Chico on January 26, 2005 11:36 AMdisclaimer: he did not get the clap from me, even though we were roommates for a while :)
Posted by: tizzie on January 26, 2005 12:38 PMI used chico's toilet once. Do I have the clap now too??
Posted by: dana on January 26, 2005 12:40 PMYou're doomed. I've taken the liberty of notifying the authorities on your behalf, and soon, moon-suited government workers will arrive to seal your apartment off. You know, like Eliot's house in E.T..
Been nice knowin' ya.
Posted by: Vidiot on January 26, 2005 12:53 PMsomeone just told me that aim: SmarterChild is a robot, but it won't talk to me. Wtf?
Posted by: 31d1 on January 26, 2005 01:03 PMYou people are dissing my pissoir unnecessarily, especially considering how many of you have actually used it (Vidiot, I'm looking right at you) and the minor fact that we're talking about the Pied Piper of Long Island City ridding this fine site of infestation.
My claps, I suppose I must clarify, were palm-specific and especially hygeinic. If I must I shall wrap myself in clingfilm specifically for the purposes of applauding you, dana.
You've made the world, this world, our world, a better and more beautiful place. Again.
Posted by: Chico on January 26, 2005 05:32 PMI dunno what's going on here, but it makes me feel sexah!
Posted by: stavrosthewonderchicken on January 26, 2005 06:49 PMOverlooked in this conversation is that chico's loo has the intake power of a jet engine. Seriously. I think you could probably flush a few puppies down there without so much as a hiccup.
If you were into that sort of thing.
Posted by: adam on January 27, 2005 09:15 AMWhile I've never had the pleasure of using chicobangs' dooblavay-say, it is legendary throughout much of the eastern seaboard. I envy the power of chicobangs' flush. It makes mine seem utterly inadequate.
I am ashamed.
Posted by: jpoulos on January 27, 2005 09:43 AMThis seems as good a time as any to mention that my mother once blamed a case of crabs in the '60s on having taken a Berlitz course "in a bad part of town."
Posted by: dana on January 27, 2005 09:46 AMAdam is not exaggerating. Chico's is the place where I'd want all my drugs to be when the feds came knocking at the door.
Posted by: tizzie on January 27, 2005 10:27 AMOver the course of about a week back in '86, a hippie chick delivered cases of the crabs to a full 2/3 of the men in my fraternity.
I was in the (un)lucky third, more's the pity. Not for lack of trying either, lemme tell ya. Some girls just don't go for the tortured Byronic antihero types, I guess.
Posted by: Fes on January 27, 2005 10:47 AMAs if we needed one MORE thing for which to envy Chico.
Chico flushes, and the Gods laugh at the rest of us.
Posted by: Fes on January 27, 2005 10:49 AMNot to sound like a true Johnny-come-lately (ouch) and braggart, but I wish to note that I live upstairs from Chico. And my loo has the same awesome powers of suction that would make John Edwards very happy indeed.
I guess what I mean by all this is that if you have any drugs to dispose of, by all means give them to me.
Posted by: Vidiot on January 27, 2005 11:11 AMJohn Edwards' biggest case, in his plaintiff's lawyer days, was when he won $25M for the family of Valerie Lakey, a little girl who was permanently maimed when a faulty pool drain sucked her intestines out of her body.
Posted by: Vidiot on January 27, 2005 12:27 PMHoly shit. Is anyone else getting visuals of the final scene of Aliens: Ressurection?
Posted by: adam on January 27, 2005 12:41 PMOn the lighter side, ever since moving into my apartment, I've wanted to recreate an activity that I first saw in a 767's bathroom:
I was about nine or ten years old, it was a flight to Europe, and I was capital-B Bored. Everyone was asleep, so I wandered back to the galley at the back of the plane where the flight attendants were hanging out. One of them asked me if I wanted to know a secret. Of course I did, so she told me that the suction on a 767's toilet was incredibly powerful. She demonstrated this by unrolling a length of toilet paper all the way down the aisle, sticking one end in the toilet, and hitting the "flush" button. The zzzzzzzzzzip! as the toilet paper slurped up the aisle was one of the funniest things I've seen.
Perhaps I'll test out the "movie" function of my digital camera and see if the same holds true for my apartment's toilet.
Posted by: Vidiot on January 27, 2005 12:44 PMHey! We can run a length of string between your loo and mine, flush them at the same time, and watch the entire universe fold in upon itself!
Posted by: Chico on January 27, 2005 02:36 PMOoooh, a rupture in the fabric of the cosmos, with its epicenter at The Lady Patricia.

The building would become a doorway to netherworld. Like Ghostbusters.
Posted by: jpoulos on January 27, 2005 04:18 PMWell, it's the doorway to someone's netherworld.
Now. Who wants pie?
Posted by: Chico on January 27, 2005 06:17 PMIs there anything in this world as good as cold lomein?
Posted by: ColdChef on January 28, 2005 12:22 PMI have a very strange aversion to eating "hot" foods cold, even pizza. I do not know why this is.
Posted by: jonmc on January 28, 2005 01:30 PMCold pork lo mein is part of the Breakfast of Champions. Cold pizza and Kellogg's Corn Pops make up the holy triumvirate.
Now. Who's for Tums?
Posted by: Vidiot on January 28, 2005 01:44 PMI'm the same way, Jon, with the exception of chicken. Leftover fried chicken is ok. But otherwise, hot food needs to be hot.
Posted by: aine42 on January 28, 2005 01:45 PMaine42, maybe you and I are like the opposite of cats. Everytime I've given a tidbit of hot or even warm food to a cat, they always bat it around for a minute or two before chowing down.
I assume they're making sure it's dead.
Posted by: jonmc on January 28, 2005 02:15 PMOdd. The local strip-mall Chinese place now offers computers and hi-speed access. Take that, Panda Express.
Posted by: ufez on January 28, 2005 03:02 PMWalrus! How delightful to see you! Welcome back. I didn't know how to find you when I was in London in October. How are you?
Posted by: tizzie on January 28, 2005 04:19 PMHi tizzie! Would have been difficult, since I wasn't in London in October ... although I probably could have made an exception in your case. Am very well thanks ... got a new job and that. And a new flat in Wimbledon. And an internet connection finally. How about yourself? I haven't been on here for ages, so I don't know any news about anyone ...
Posted by: walrus on January 28, 2005 04:55 PMOh by the way I lost my walrus website somehow whilst I was away (forgot to renew it to tell the truth and someone had it the minute it expired) ... bit pissed off, because it hasn't even been updated particularly since I was gazumped.
Posted by: walrus on January 28, 2005 04:58 PMHi Dan!

Posted by: stavrosthewonderchicken on January 29, 2005 01:49 AMYo, walrus. Let me join in the welcoming chorus of poo-flinging!
Posted by: Vidiot on January 29, 2005 01:23 PMWow ... so much poo, what am I gonna do with it all? Better fling a bit back ... dodge this Vidiot ... oops did that hit jonmc? I'm nursing a hangover today, so my aim might be a bit off ;)
Think I'm going back to bed with a cuppa actually. What was I thinking last night? Guiness, wine AND drambuie. Think the drambuie is mostly to blame ...
