Get the flowers first. Have them to give at the crescendo of the, errr, witticism.

It seems the delusions of food-deprivation is starting to affect your thoughts. Maybe you need another Mars® bar? I hear they are great, deep fried ..!

What?

I'll wire your jaw shut for you.

Absolutely. My idea was just to walk up to her sometime before the big V day, and aske her if she liked candy. Then if she said yes, I was going to ask if she liked it when it came in a box. After another yes answer, I was going to ask if she liked it when the box was heart shaped. If she answered yes, then I would get her some flowers. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Have the chocolates on you when you ask her the questions. Psychologically, three "Yes" answers (each one helping to prompt the next one) set up the question-asking scenario for an almost irredeemable "Yes" on her part. Strike then with the chocoloates. If she says "No" at any time, set up three "Yes" answers, again, and then ask her out.

That's algebra, not calculus.

True: the reminder of going without helps one to appreciate that which is rationed. The humour latent in the crack/heroin analogy was not that being a drug addict is a good state of affairs; more to illustrate that to these poor unfortunates nothing is more important than their next fix. (Where's your brother from: Nose City?)

No wonder. You will die from water privation after hours, starvation takes weeks!

That's because they give up too soon. Real faith requires an indefinite fast.

... Or not ... :ph34r:

Either that or the split between a bottom's cheeks.

You mean it hasn't already ...

A form of cocaine, in which format the high is concentrated into a single hit that lasts a vanishingly short few seconds. So it has a powerful withdrawal effect. Of course you could also just use heroin. Even though it takes a lot longer to get hooked on, but the price is just as cheap and Afghanistan has it's biggest crop of poppies EVER this year, so the availability and pirce should become even more favourable. ***

That's a very discriminatory personal advertisement: you are contravening the Fair Housing Act. So how long have you fancied boys? "

My intention was to indicate that there should be more than two options, and especially when one option is for perverts and the other option can be warped into the same perversion. Add more options! Better yet, ask for more options ... no, wait: that definitely won't work ...

It's pretty funny, and instructive of the mentality of suits in marketing departments, that SMS was an afterthought; something to use up the little bit of bandwidth left in the first generation 'phones. (Hence the 152 character limit.) It has become a cash cow: in Britain it generally costs over 5 pence per text: I can call other countries on voice calls for a minute for this! I have, at times, gone without a mobile 'phone for months at a time. Right now I have the Sony 910e which I use as a PDA. People have tended to use technology to make their lives easier: this has (merely) resulted in total lack of planning as a significant of calls are "I'm here!", or "Where are you?" and "We're all going to the pub, now." It is sobering to reflect that something like 75% of the world's population have never made a telephone call at all.

Smoke crack, then you won't want to eat anything: all you will want to do is smoke crack.

Baley was aquite a fan, too, iirc.

As fond as I am of the whimsical pleasures of word association and strem of consciousness prose, I think that last post may have been meant for a different thread ...

I have vivid feelings (almost vestigial twitches in my muscle memory!) of PitFall, especially. :D Can't place the one you mean, take a look here: clickity click

They have Torville & Dean presenting a show with some local British "celebrities" doing a "dancing on ice" knock-out over a couple of months, presently. They did their first routine (publicly) together since they retired.
