Teacup Cafe V

[The last sane person]

*gives the Chai addict her fix, and serves the Rev.* Have fun ms. Maggie, and I pray you dont spaz.

[Lady Marion Magdalena]

I'm a 'ms.' now? You never call me 'Ms. Maggie', what'd I do?

I didn't spaz, but the dance was amusing at best and lame at worst. We didn't stay long. Unfortunately it was a longish drive... nearly an hour of having my eardrums blasted Backstreet Boys... And here I thought I had escaped that when I got out of middle school.

Yar. Now I want to dance to something good.

*Puts on a 'Little Shop of Horrors' album and drags Sane into a dance*

That's better.

What a wonderful day! Doesn't one just love how gravity travels at the speed of light, that for a person falling into an Event Horizon experiences time as a matter of days, while the distant observer sees the victim's fall to take an infinite amount of time, the way certain subatomic particles have to rotate 700 something degrees to go back into their original position, as opposed to our human macroworld, that the life of the universe could be described as the "cosmic watermelon," that people are sometimes stupid enough to think time is intelligent, that during the so-called Planck era (10^-43 seconds after the Big Bang--A lovely name! Beautiful! Like Bellatrix or the Overwhelmingly Large Telescope) the universe went through a phase of rapid expansion, that the smallest possible particle could be one 100 billion billionth the size of an atomic nucleus, that ellipses have two centers, that there are five Langarian points, that space is in fact not nothingness as nothingness exists outside the universe only, that outside the universe is not a place and has no time and words like "place" and "there" are rendered useless just as the word useless can no longer be of any meaning just as meaning itself can't exist just as existence itself is impossible, that antimatter wipes out matter, and so on...

Nope, sorry. Just the beginning words.
If anyone needs me, I'll be over here tryin' to grin down a bar (bear).

thanks, I'm really hooked on those now!

I just had some nice cold vanilla soy milk - yum!
*puts a bunch in the fridge for everyone*

[littleadanel]

*groans* My back hurts. That's what spending one hour at the doctor does to me. Feeling like a tractor went trough my back.

But anyway, I can't really complain. At the age of 12, my spine looked in the X-ray just like a letter S. It became quite decent, all thakns to him. Now I only have to visit him every two months or so, to maintain this.

*lies down groaning* oh, vanilla soy milk? *sips some with a straw*

[littleadanel]

Oh, bump. I hate computer when it's doing this. Update!

[Grey_Wolf]

After having finished off the clueing of the USA I just wonder if you guys are interested in continuing this game. I do have the UK, Ireland and Australia. And Germany, France, Spain and Italy. Want me to continue?

[Grey_Wolf]

here comes a funny song.

Oh, I'm a nazgul, and I'm okay,
I sleep all night and I work all day.

CHORUS: He's a nazgul, and he's okay,
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

I cut down trees, I eat my lunch,
I go to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays I go shoppin'
And have buttered scones for tea.

Orcs: He cuts down trees, he eats his lunch,
He goes to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays he goes shoppin'
And has buttered scones for tea.

I cut down trees, I skip and jump,
I like to press wild flowers.
I put on women's clothing,
And hang around in bars.

Orcs: He cuts down trees, he skips and jumps,
He likes to press wild flowers.
He puts on women's clothing
And hangs around.... In bars???????

I chop down trees, I wear high heels,
Suspenders and a bra.
I wish I'd been a girlie
Just like my dear papa.

Orcs: He cuts down trees, he wears high heels
Suspenders and a .... a Bra????
(Orcs break off song, and begin insulting The nazgul)

Sauron: (crying) I thought you were so rugged!

[Acalewia]

*Rolls on the laughing her *** off until her sides begin to hurt and the tears won't stop*
Where do you come up with that stuff?
*Takes a hankee and dabs her eyes while still giggling*

[BeardofPants]

Haha, it's a take-off of the Monty Python Lumberjack song. Classic.

[Grey_Wolf]

Yes, check out the link in my sig. It's got almost all MP stuff.

[The last sane person]

ah, good old Monty! So, who will have what then? Name your poisons!

[crickhollow]

*pokes head in the door*
I've a question: Do any of you TeaCuppers actually drink tea?

[edit: silly crick, what do you think chai is?]

Boy, I could go for a nice cup of coffee or even a Latte.

I bought some Dunkin Donuts coffee last weekend while in North Carolina and it is really nice.

Now if I can entice Lotesse to join me, we can breathe together.

SERENITY NOW!

[Lotesse]

Well, I could always use some more caffeine! *bounces into the Teacup* But I can't stay for long, I have things to do! *pours cafe au laits for herself and Spock*

Thanks, have a chocolate donut; I always have some stashed somewhere (in cyber space anyway). I too have things to do but for a moment I'll sip and relax.

[Rían]

I"m heading for my chai machine - anyone want one?

*makes self a nice hot decaf chai plus some for anyone else that wants one*
