*Lief's head emerges.*

Thanks, Marion.

*He scrambles out and sits on the fury pile. Grabs a piece of chicken and begins to eat.*

Aye, thanks indeed.

Four hamsters! So great. I'd ask for one, but no pets in the dorm, 'cept fish tanks.

Where else would one pick up such a habit? College. Seriously, TAC is a college where an astounding number of people smoke. It's rather stigmatised in America at large of late, but not here. (Case in point: In the remake of the Producers, they cut the scene where Leo and Max smoke cigars, but they made Whitehall (or was it Marx? Can't remember), Leo's tyrannical boss, smoke one.) Maybe it's that way on most colleges? No idea, my college exposure is rather limited. But one thing that is really big on TAC is the more unusual (but still legal ) forms of smoking. Pipes and hookahs are very popular around here, and I picked up both.

As for what you put in it...I understand that TAC is one of the few locations where it's actually shisha. Shisha is a mixture of molasses (or honey), tobacco, and flavouring. The fact that the smoke goes through the water makes it really smooth and cool, and it comes out tasting like candied air. A most sublime invention.

Bleh? Bleh? I agree about ciggies; they's nasty. But hookah is a marvel!

What's really fun (on our dry campus ) is to buy a couple bottles of wine, take the hookah and firewood, and some blankets, and hike to this run-down little shack up on the hills around the campus on a Saturday night. Splendid!

*bites the head off a tribble and starts chewing* Crunch, crunch.

Tribbles haven't got heads! Just fur, and digestive/reproductive tracts . But I guess if you like the taste...

No smoking of any sort for me... don't find it at all appealing. I'm quite happy with tea and chocolate as my addictions.

*Makes some tea as just thinking about it makes her thirsty...*

...now to get a nice cup of espresso, and two chocolate donuts from the counter-then to the recliner and my ear plugs

I may not be back on the Moot for a bit - out-of-townness, family stuff, and my middle son's ear surgery on Monday ...

Have fun!

*falls asleep in chair*

See you see, RÃ*an. We'll keep the Chai stocked and hot for you. Best of luck to your son with his surgery.


*pours herself some tea for dry throat.* It's been a while since I could have such a lengthy talk with my sis.

Fine, then, I'll just have to find something else.

*eyes BoP's ears*

[Lady Marion Magdalena]

I don't think those'd taste any better. Here, have some chocolate instead.

[Gwaimir Windgem]

Chocolate? *sniffs suspiciously* What's chocolate?

Give us ears and/or tribbles raw and wriggling, and keep nasssty chocolate!

[trolls' bane]

Well, last day!
Hmm, I appear to be missing a post here...
Anyway, I'll be on for a while.

Hi, TB!

Hi, TB!

Hello there! How's it going? I was going to attempt to send some way of putting I Got Rhythm into musical notation for you. I learned how to play an oversimplified version. Maybe I can take a screenshot of this sheet music site and out all the unwanted stuff with it.
*pulls out .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and'll blow your head clean off, etc. etc. *

You don't have to go through the trouble of sending it, TB! I don't have sound on my computer, anyway.
What's the gun for? Tribbles?

No, I wouldn't send an audio file to anyone if my feet were being dipped into a room full of moving tribbles. I'd copy the actual sheet music, and it wouldn't be a big deal because it's a supposed free preview. I just wouldn't have EVERYTHING in it, probably. Half of the already short song would probably be missing.

*blinks* TB, you already are standing in a room full of moving Tribbles.

Exactly! *fires gun at ceiling, hoping to make the tribbles run away and leave some breathing room* *tribbles stop, then suddenly are all over TB engulfing him alive*

ACK! *is desparate**brings in Klingon**unfortunaltely for TB, Klingnon is asking for too much money to do the job* I guess I'll have to do it myself. Spock: It's not my fault they're attacking TB! Self defense!
Here, Tribble, Tribble, Tribble! *tempts them with fake food*

[trolls' bane]

What!? What kind of Klingon is that!? Where's the honor in watching someone get eaten alive, and ask for money! *insults Klingon and calls him out, after the tribbles disappear after MB, and subsequently raid the refrigerator*

[trolls' bane]

Oh, by the way, all of a sudden, the score has disappeared off the net! All I can find is about forty guitar versions, and about twice as many for duet pianos, and half as much for a piano, but with the wrong words.

GAH *tries desperately to save fridge from on-coming Tribbles* Go raid your own fridge! This one's mine! *grabs Tribbles out for food viciously by the... fluff*
