The Cocktail Party Thread (a.k.a. The "Jack This Thread" Thread)

Sorry I was busy getting all hot and bothered thinking about French accents... you don't speak French do you???

[Army Fencer]

Certainly. By the way, did you hear that Inq was wearing makeup? I heard he was found putting it on in the ladies' room!

[Goofy]

Warm? You're calling this 'warm'? Bah- I remember back in the summer of 88 it was hot enough to cook a beef roast inside an auto parked in the sun for the day.

[Go? Fencing?]

Oh, so that's how he keeps his identity secret. Don't you think it's silly how some superheros wear a mask that just covers around their eyes, and yet this makes it so that no one recognizes them?

He wanted to look good when he wears his clear visor mask. Good grooming is important don't you think?

Not necessarily. I know plenty of epee fencers who's clothing screams "NO!, don't wash me, It's bad luck"...

[Fencergrl]

Epeeists are such great people aren't they??? I really enjoy hanging around them. Without them I could never have become the "Fencing Expert" I am today.

There are many self-appointed 'fencing experts'. Some have the credentials to back it up, others are simply lacking. Speaking of fencing, do you prefer oak or barbed wire?

[MyrddinsPrecint]

Barbed wire is terribly useful in maximum security prisons, like where Telk likes to make most of his posts from... It's such a waste that we don't just kill the convicts, we could use the land the prisons are on to dump all of our trash!!

[mrbiggs]

Maximum security prisons are useful themselves.

[ThatReallyHurt]

Yes, lots of good news stories from them.

Speaking of which, has anyone here been to the Cosmos in South Dakota?

[BrianH]

Is that anywhere near Sturgis, where the motorcyclists congregate? I've always thought it would be cool to ride a big bike, but the closest I've come is a Harley-Davidson guitar pick.

[fencergal33]

I love Harley's! Actually, I used to own a coffee shop, but after I closed it down they turned it into a biker church. Interesting.

[mrbiggs]

Shouldn't "biker church" be an oxymoron?

[cornflower]

Another word for 'oxymoron' could be 'zeugma'.

Or maybe not.

[Army Fencer]

I have another funny word: "fork!"

[mrbiggs]

Sporks work for eating neither soup nor steak, and are therefore useless in my book.

[BrianH]

Books are also useless for eating soup or steaks, but you can cook nachos on a book, if you don't mind the cheese and salsa spills. Probably best not to do it with a library book.

[mrbiggs]

I like nachos. Unfortunately, I seem to have a Nacho Limit. This means that after eating a certain number of nachos, I cannot eat any more and feel like I'm about to throw up. I can eat other foods, just not nachos. Strangely enough, this is true no matter the type of cheese, chips, or even meat and vegetables included on the nachos. It's a real bummer, too, because I really like nachos.

[Army Fencer]

I've given up on food. It takes way too much time to prepare and eat three meals a day. I think I'm just going to stop completely. I've tried the whole making a big batch of food at the beginning of the week and freezing it thing, but it never seems to last more than two meals.
