Teacup Café XLI - Page 19

Make a statement to the effect that the products of condensed humidity which hover en masse at high altitudes should not be thought credible and the stated reason there-of is that these objects will not stay put.

Furthermore, it is stated that our very own star is certainly going to radiate. The pondered question of the belief that the transition of the earth from one place to the other might have no bearing on your own position, will find it’s solution in the action of trying to achieve tactile interaction with a distant example of this radiant object.

And then the narrator states that the person serenaded will come to the conclusion that the only solution to the current situation is to the reclaim the positive temporal occurances which is stated to have belonged to the narrator and the person previously mentioned.

And it is stated that the condition required to attain a positive mental posture is the application of a certain amount of festive musical and textile decoration.

(Don't believe those clouds in the sky,
Cause they'll be movin' on and the sun will shine,
If the world's been passin' you by,
Just reach for a star and you'll realize,

Got to put back all the good times that we had,
We can make it better with a little bit of Razzamatazz.)

**Mari** · 10-05-2011, 10:16 AM

Why are you capitalising almost every word?

Grey_Wolf · 10-05-2011, 01:03 PM

These are the Friday & Weekend message without the youtube link. The capitalizing of the words is something I've always done on these messages. Once I begun doing that I just continued.

***Varnafindë*** · 10-05-2011, 02:49 PM

They used not to be so long, though, did they?

Messages this long are made just about unreadable by the capitalizing.

Choose only two or three words per sentence to capitalize, that will make things easier.

**Mari** · 10-05-2011, 03:50 PM

Ah, I see. But as Varna says, it would be easier to read if there weren't that many capitalised letters. And I'm sure it would be easier typing as well!

Grey_Wolf · 10-05-2011, 04:32 PM

I understand Ill edit the text.

Grey_Wolf · 10-06-2011, 05:32 AM

Done the edititing. And I understand your objections. It is harder to read a text that is this unorthoxically written.

Ive also added the two verses of Quincy Jones' Razzamatazz so that may see how I've thought the composition through.

Grey_Wolf · 10-06-2011, 05:35 AM

MAKE A STATEMENT TO THE EFFECT THAT A PERSON HAS REPEATEDLY WEATHERED A PARTICULARLY DIFFICULT SITUATION.

FURTHERMORE, THE PERSON HAS BEEN INCARCERATED FOR A TERMED PERIOD, ALTHOUGH THE REASON FOR THE PUNISHMENT IS NOT BE FOUND.

HE GOES ON TO ADMIT THAT HE HAS HAD OCCASIONAL LAPSES IN JUDGEMENT AND HAS ALSO HAD BEEN APPORTIONED A CERTAIN NUMBER OF ACTS OF UNWARRANTED HOSTILITY, BUT FORTUNATELY SAYS THAT HE HAS MANAGED TO SURVIVE THESE.

HE THEN TELLS HIS CLOSE ACQUAINTANCES THAT THEY HAVE ATTAINED THE VERY PINNACLE OF WARRIOR PROWESS.

HE FURTHERMORE PRONOUNCES THAT THE STRIFE IN WHICH THEY ARE CURRENTLY INVOLVED IN WILL CONTINUE UNTIL IT HAS COME TO A CONCLUSION.

HE THEN REPEATS TWICE THE CLAIM THAT HE AND HIS ACQUAINTANCES HAVE INDEED ATTAINED THE VERY PINNACLE OF WARRIOR PROWESS.

HE FURTHERMORE STATES THAT TEMPORAL PROVISION IS TO BE REFUSED ANY PERSONAGE AFFECTED BY CERTAIN NEGATIVE ASPECTS AS FAR AS THE ATTAINMENT OF PROSPERITY IS CONCERNED AND THE REASON THERE-OF IS THEN EXPLAINED AS BEING THE AFOREMENTIONED ATTAINMENT BY THE NARRATOR AND HIS ACQUAINTANCES - AND IT IS FURTHERMORE STATED THAT THIS ATTAINMENT IS IN FACT GLOBAL IN NATURE.

(I've paid my dues -
Time after time -
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime -
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face -
But I've come through

We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting - till the end -
We are the champions -
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions - of the world)

*puts on a helmet to protect her head from the huge flock of capital letters that have taken up residence in the Teacup, slips in, makes some tea, slips out again, leaving some freshly baked cookies*

Grey_Wolf · 10-06-2011, 09:35 AM

The Capitals have taken over. Resistance is useless! You will become one with The Big Capital!

**Mari** · 10-06-2011, 11:42 AM

Cookies! With chocolate?

***Earniel*** · 10-06-2011, 01:30 PM

Naturally.

With a fresh pot of tea.

Not that I can bake cookies in RL if my life depended on it, but I'm a pro when it comes to virtual cookies.

***Varnafindë*** · 10-06-2011, 02:11 PM

Virtual cookies are so much simpler to make. Leave less of a mess to clear up afterwards as well, and are done much faster.

Not to mention that virtual calories are much less fattening than the other kind.

It's funny how when this happens to me, I somehow do not mind one single bit.

I found this win on failblog recently. Love it!

**Mari** · 10-07-2011, 03:04 AM

And I was very much in need of virtual chocolate cookies. How kind of you to share

Grey_Wolf · 10-08-2011, 06:37 AM

This is no joke...

Two Swedish journalists - morons both - was staying with guerillas in Eritrea. Then the government troops came and arrested them. And now the media is screaming for these two utter idiots to be rescued.

Does that mean that any Swede can act insipidly and when he or she ends up in hip-deep in trouble - fully expect the Swedish goverment to bail them out?

***Earniel*** · 10-08-2011, 02:30 PM

I'm probably missing some vital piece of information here, but since when is every journalist that enters a dangerous situation for his/her job automatically insipid?

*nicks some of the cookies and leaves, trailing crumbs through various threads*

Grey_Wolf · 10-08-2011, 03:14 PM

Well these two should have known better. But uf course, american journalists are probably never take hostage, arrested by governments, or socialising with rebels.

Grey_Wolf · 10-16-2011, 01:56 PM

Im trying to text my friend in Georgia, usa. But although she can text me and Ive sent her several texts - only one has gotten thru. and after that its just SENDING ERROR! Anyone of you nordic members experienced the same pbm? glad to know. best Anders

Midge · 10-18-2011, 11:53 PM

Well, this is it... I'm giving my dishwasher another chance... PLEASE PLEASE work...
