Teacup Cafe XXVIII

I should hope not; don't you know what Eddie Izzard says about popcorn!?

And Aristotle agrees: "People who eat nuts in theaters do this most when the actors are bad." - Nicomachean Ethics, Book X, Chapter 5

Maybe I'll pass...

Did you pop?

It's an authentic quote! You can go look it up! Cracked me up so much when I first came across it.

My dear, no one has EVER gotten anywhere by breaking out into impassioned popcorn.

[Mari]

Lief, no. The last time I came near (virtual) popcorn, it was because 2 people tried to get me and Sis into a fight and then they started throwing popcorn at me, followed by something metal and heavy.
I can't remember which Mooters where throwing though. Lady R or Ea maybe and DB? Hmmm.

Wait, scratch my previous link, it doesn't actually give you the whole joke:

This one is better.

I sent Falathion the email alerting him about your situation. I hope he gets to it swiftly. He probably will. In my experience, he checks his email pretty rapidly.

Poor, Lief. *Gives Lief a hankie*
That's good. Hopefully I'll be active again soon. Of course at the rate of posts, I prolly won't miss much

Well, DB will do anything for attention. I think it was he and Hector that was opening the Gates of Hell a few Cafes back...

*taps his knife on his teacup, and stands on his chair*

Everyone, I have an annoucement to make.


Bach is awesome.

That is all.

*Applauds Gwaimir.*
I'll just offer a little tip, if I may. Your speech was a bit too lengthy. A little dry. Just a little boring, as it went on. You started losing people's attention toward the end . . . Try to be more concise next time, is all I'm saying. Good job trying, though! By all means, keep practicing. There's a room off to the side there where you can do so in front of a mirror, with a tape recorder, in case you want to keep at it.

Thank-you. *One final sniff.* All better, now.

But don't do it again . *Hand twitches toward lightsaber.

Thinks to self: "That should teach her." Sits down again at the table, looking smug.*

Heh . True. After sitting on Minor Fwan for several days, banging his head alternately between two boulders and hollering in his ears for him to POST, I finally got him to do so today. :/ Unfortunately we'll need him to post again soon. I just responded to his response .

I'm active, though!!! My summer has started .

From the greatness which is W.S. Gilbert.

from The Mikado

Background: The singer is the Lord High Executioner; in a speech immediately
preceding the song, he says "If I should ever be called upon to act
professionally, I am happy to think that there will be no difficulty in
finding plenty of people whose loss will be a distinct gain to society at
large."

I've Got a Little List

SONG--KO-KO with CHORUS OF MEN.

As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I've got a little list--I've got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed--who never would be missed!
There's the pestilential nuisances who write for autographs--
All people who have flabby hands and irritating laughs--
All children who are up in dates, and floor you with 'em flat--
All persons who in shaking hands, shake hands with you like _that_--
And all third persons who on spoiling tete-a-tetes insist--
They'd none of 'em be missed--they'd none of 'em be missed!

CHORUS. He's got 'em on the list--he's got 'em on the list;
And they'll none of 'em be missed--they'll none of
'em be missed.

There's the banjo serenader, and the others of his race,
And the piano-organist--I've got him on the list!
And the people who eat peppermint and puff it in your face,
They never would be missed--they never would be missed!
Then the idiot who praises, with enthusiastic tone,
All centuries but this, and every country but his own;
And the lady from the provinces, who dresses like a guy,
And who "doesn't think she waltzes, but would rather like to
try";
And that singular anomaly, the lady novelist--
I don't think she'd be missed--I'm sure she'd not he missed!

CHORUS. He's got her on the list--he's got her on the list;
And I don't think she'll be missed--I'm sure
she'll not be missed!

And that Nisi Prius nuisance, who just now is rather rife,
The Judicial humorist--I've got him on the list!
All funny fellows, comic men, and clowns of private life--
They'd none of 'em be missed--they'd none of 'em be missed.
And apologetic statesmen of a compromising kind,
Such as--What d'ye call him--Thing'em-bob, and
likewise--Never-mind,
And 'St--'st--'st--and What's-his-name, and also You-know-who--
The task of filling up the blanks I'd rather leave to you.
But it really doesn't matter whom you put upon the list,
For they'd none of 'em be missed--they'd none of 'em be
missed!

CHORUS. You may put 'em on the list--you may put 'em on the list;
And they'll none of 'em be missed--they'll none of
'em be missed!

-- W. S. Gilbert

There are endless extra verses, I've often seen people who eat loudly in theatres included,

Or the ones who talk REALLY REALLY loud in the movie on their cellphone

[Lief Erikson]

Did Tessar's recommendation work for you, Sis? Helped a little with me .

UGH.

[Acalewia]

Yep. Those are the one's you want to throw stuff at and break the phone.


Speaking of cellphones, a couple days ago a guy ran out of wal-mart trying to steal something (what it was I never heard). The guy dropped his phone during his getaway and ran over it in his car!

Talk about karma! If it had been me that wouldn't have been worth it.

I can top it all. I saw Indy last night in a theatre with 400 poorly supervised campers.

The ONE time, all summer I had a chance to get out to a movie, and I was surrounded by a summer camp...not even mine.

I'm the mean lady telling strange children to sit down. >,>

I got my money back, left a note for the GM of the theatre, and emailed the camp. I'm awful.

Okay. The following is from the American Heritage Dictionary.

Midg·et (mĭj'ĭt) n.
1. (Offensive) An extremely small person who is otherwise normally proportioned.
2. A small or miniature version of something.
3. A class of small objects, as a class of very small sailboats or racing cars.

The way you are using that term in reference to me is OFFENSIVE (note the italics in 1.) I don't mind short jokes, but excessive use of the word "midget" when meaning me I don't like.. especially when I've told you I'm not.

I also have no idea what straight edge is and I missed the original post in which it was.

[Azrael]

hey how do you make stories on here? I have one thats an RP of three Japanese Dynasties that I've been RPing on another site. If anyone thinks that would be a good idea.

Its like this: Theres three dynasties, Sho, Chiyan, and Yoshimi. Sho is the main, it is considered the empire. The rules of Sho are tyrants and charge high taxes and kill those who appose. Chiyan is lead by the brother of Sho's Emperor, and he fights back the tyrants, with force. They do not care about the people of Sho as long as they bring them down. Yoshimi was formed by the Prince of Sho (before the rulers of this era so...2 generations or so before) and he formed a nation that fights back but fights for the people. They also live as equals to their people. The royal family works for its people and vise versa.

Theres much more in to the story I've made it, but that was the basicics of it.

[Azrael]

awww midge, you know your like my older sister and no in a literal since you are not a midget, but compared to me yeah. Thats why you call me a freak lol. Ok thats what straight edge means? Ok then I know im not one because I play very little punk styles and more acoustic or metal so im more of a rocker. Midge you want a hug? *holds out arms*
