actually, you'll be interested to know that lu duran of blackcell is my agent for the denver operations unit. he posts his progress as comments on my myspace page. i think the last count for him was 17. good job lu. i expect you to match, if not surpass, his count for hipsters down. austin being relatively new territory and all -- they won't even see you coming...
good luck soldier.

I just 'bumped' it up- there is a search-function on the top menu that you can use to find things on these boards!
Cheers,
your friendly board-pimp.

you know ferdman used to write me poems.  Date: Jan. 13, 2001 8:18 PM
To Samples,
Roses are red
Violets are blue,
Why won't our user profiles thing
work for you?
Could it be karma?
Could it be fate?
Could it be you are using Netscape?
Please tell me your browser
And I will feel more wiser
Or at least your error
So I can see this problem more clearer
Ya got be clear
And I need details
Or no one here
will get to see the real Samples. |

HAVE YOU EVER:
Q: Kissed someone on your top friends?
Yes. A few of them. A couple of 'em even kissed me back (then again, a few of them slapped me).
Q: Been arrested?
Once when I was like 16 or 17 years old. Ahh, the feel of cold steel handcuffs...I'm tempted to do something illegal again and hope I get caught.
Q: You like someone?
Uhhhh, no, I'm a total sociopath and I hate everyone. OF COURSE I like someone. Then again, I guess that's a "teeny bopper" question, which makes me feel like an immature moron for filling this thing out (okay, I don't just FEEL like one, I AM one).
Q: Held a snake?
Yes, I have. Back in high school. It felt pretty cool, but nearly as cool as cat's tongues. And dog's noses when they're dry.
Q: Been suspended from school?
No, but I took a few licks for bringing a couple copies of National Lampoon to school. Got a couple more for kicking a bus door in an attempt to get in and beat up the guy who locked me out.
Q: Sat on a roof top?
A few times. As far away from the edge as I could manage.
Q: Been pushed into a pool with all your clothes on?
Not that I can remember. Anyone who could have done that to me is stll alive, so it's a safe bet that I haven't.
5. Went to the mall with? The wife and my son. I don't really like malls, but the closest bookstore is in the Shawnee. Most of the time I'm just not up for a drive to OKC , though Barnes & Noble is my favorite store. Plus, it's easier to hide bombs in the mall.
6. You talked to on the phone with?
My wife. She told me I was an insensitive brute and not to expect her to come home for at least 3 months. She called me several names that you wouldn't normally think a wife would call a husband. Then she told me not to forget to give the dog his medicine.
7. Who was the last person to call you?
My wife. She told me she would never forgive me. She called me a cad and claimed to have photographs to prove it. She said she was sorry she ever knew me and that if she had it all to do over again she would have never gone to that Air Supply concert where we met 18 years ago. She said I could keep the stereo but that she wanted the television and the VCR. She said she was packing up and moving to Wyoming and that if I ever wahted to see my son again I'd better buy a bus ticket. She said she had taken "those videos" with her so I should not even think of blackmailing her (but the joke's on her...I had a couple of them hidden that she didn't find...ha ha). She said her heart was broken and her soul was crushed by the spiteful, heartless things I did last weekend. She suggested that I dig myself a large hole in the back yard and crawl in it. She said I was crazy if I thought she was going to pay the bill for my stay in the Habana Inn last weekend. She said there was no way in hell she was going to shed one tear for me on the day when I was out of her life completely. In fact, she said, she would likely celebrate that event by having a few wine coolers and taking her girlfriends out to Sherlock's for a night on the town.
9. You messaged on myspace?
My daughter. Lengthy messages at that.
,
10. You commented?
Jerry Redd. He is a phenomenon.
11. You spent the night with?
Actually I slept alone last night. See #7.
WOULD YOU RATHER...
1. Eat or drink?
Be merry.
2. Be serious or be funny?
I want to be serious but I wind up being funny (at least I THINK I'm funny...people laugh at me).
3. Drink whole or skim milk?
Skim milk is not milk, as far as I'm concerned. I don't drink milk anyway, only put it on cereal (peferablely Count Chocula, Cap'n Crunch...anything with enough sugar to rot my teeth).
4. Die in a fire or get shot?
Put it in the back of my head while I'm not looking...don't let me know you're there, either. Have you seen "American Beauty"? That's my choice over dying in a fire, which, frankly, is on the long list of ways I DON'T want to die.
ANSWER TRUTHFULLY..
1. Sun or moon?
Moon, baby! Viva La Luna, sweet cheekers! The sun only makes me hot. Not only that, it often burns my skin and it makes life on this planet possible.
3. Left or right?
You don't have to wait for the light to change to make a left turn, so I'll go with "left".
4. Sunny or rainy?
I am the Rain King. I don't care what Adam Duritz says. He ain't no Rain King, cuz I am. If you wanted to know I could show you that when it rains or shines it's just a state of mind.
7. Do you want to get married?
I guess if I were a Mormon I would want to get married again. Don't know what the wife might think of that, though. (Oh...I forgot...see #8...it still hasn't sunk in).
8. Do you twirl your spaghetti or cut it?
I cut that sucka. Straight through like a knife through butta. Twirling takes too much time and has much greater potential for being messy. Plus "cut" sounds a lot more masculine than "twirl". "Twirl" is something pom-pom girls do with batons. "Cut" is something convicts do with shanks. You get my drift?
9. Do You Cook?
I wouldn't call what I do in the kitchen "cooking". There's not much skill required to make sloppy joes, spaghetti, chili, hamburger helper, etc...
10. Current mood?
I find that filling out these questionairre tends to anaesthetize my moods, so the answer is NONE (although I really should be sad or depressed...see #7 in the last batch of questions)
IN THE LAST 48 HOURS HAVE YOU...
1. Kissed someone?
That depends. Does kissing someone's ass count?
2. Been hugged by someone and who?
I thought I told you I've been alone for the last couple of days. No? I didn't tell you that? See #7 in the second batch of questions.
3. Held hands with someone?
No. No. No.
4. Felt stupid?
Just this moment. when I realized that the time I spent filling this thing out could have been better spent trying to talk my wife out of the course of action she has stubbornly pursued. I could have changed her mind. She would have forgive everything and come back to me. She would moan and groan about it, but eventually she would pay that bill from the Habana Inn. If I would only call her back and beg her not to leave me.
But alas. I thought it was more important to make sure you all know whether I prefer to twirl my spaghetti or to cut it. Surely the future of my marriage takes a back seat to you wanting to know if I've held hands with someone in the last 48 hours. And one should never underestimate just how excited my MySpace friends become when they learn that I have, indeed, sat on a roof.
Yep, marriage may well be a viable alternative to remaining single, but I've got a bad, bad feeling I'm about to find out if that's truth or myth.

I'll take that as a yes!

if that's truth or myth.

Be cool Jac ...

OK! Just asked Better-Half if she wanted to get married ... Told me that after 22 years of "living in sin", two kids and all the domestic appliances we ever needed (and more), it was a little late to think about signing any other papers beside our mutual wills & testaments .... HÉ! It's the third time in 22 years I've asked ... So nobody better say I never tried ... ! ! |

Geez Jac! Having a few marital bumps ? What is a cad ?? Habana Inn ?? ... Sounds mighty exotic to me ... My - uninvited - advice ... Destroy all tapes and hope your Karma's not on the negative side too much ... The stuff about my marital status was wildly exagerrated for the sake of a few cheap laughs. All is fine in the homestead. The Habana in is a motel in Oklahoma City that has a well-earned reputation for being a haven for the homosexual community. Armed with this knowledge you should be able to mine another laugh or two from my responses.. As for "top friends"...I forgot to point out that I got this quiz from MySpace. |

Post by JACkory on Dec 14, 2007 10:30:15 GMT -5
1. Wrapping paper or gift bags?
Brown paper bags are always the best.
2. Real tree or Artificial?
Artificial, The real ones catch fire too easilly, as my cousin's family found out a few years ago. I guess they deserved it, though, because it's really kind of a stupid idea to chop down a pecan tree and use it for Christmas.
3. When do you put up the tree?
I kinda hate this kind of stuff, so it's not so much WHEN I put up the tree it's HOW do I put up WITH the tree. But I figure, hell, it's just a tree, right?
4. When do you take the tree down?
Whenever I can get Uncle Charlie to loan me his chainsaw.
5. Do you like egg nog?
I'd rather drink raw sewage. And I have, in fact, drank raw sewage, so the comparison is not arbitrary.
6. Favorite gift received as a child?
A kidney donation from a compassionate, selfless individual whose generosity touched the heart of every member of my family. Of course, there was nothing wront with either of my kidneys, but I had a fun time playing with it.
7. Do you have a nativity scene?
Yes, but it's kind of strange. All the wise men are portrayed by cast members from "The Godfather",
8. Hardest person to buy for?
The Incredible Hulk
9. Easiest person to buy for?
Rosie on the corner of Robinson & 3rd in the Blue Light district.
10. Mail or email Christmas cards?
I make e-mail Christmas cards, print 'em up then send them in the mail.
11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received?
"Turd-in-a-Bucket"...although I hear those things are wildly popular in France.
12. Favorite Christmas Movie?
"Goodfellas". "Bad Lieutenant" is the runner up.
13. When do you start shopping for Christmas?
December 25th, when all the stores are closed. I get 'er wrapped up by the time the stores re-oopen on the 26th.
14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present?
As a matter of fact, I have. I gave the kidney I'd recieved the year before to my Uncle Charlie, who used it as a dog treat. Labrodors just love human organs.
15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas?
Cranberry sauce. You know, the kind that comes in the can and retains the shape of the inner can? Oh yeah. Just pop that sucker open and plop it on a plate, bite by bite a gelatinous delight.
Just kidding. I hate cranberry sauce. I prefer taco sauce.
16. Clear lights or colored on the tree?
The clear ones are more apt to ignite a fire, while the colored ones have the Good Housekeeping seal of approval and rarely cause fires. So I'd have to choose the clear ones.
17. Favorite Christmas song?
"Iron Man"
18. Travel at Christmas or stay home?
Depends on where the family is going to be. If they're coming to my house then I'm gonna travel. If they're staying put, then so am I. They don't call me "The Family Guy" for nothing, you know.
19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer?
Sure I can name 'em. I named my son, my daughter and 4 different pets over the course of my life, I think it's safe to say I could name those pesky deer if I got a notion to. I'd start with Klein. Then I'd name the second one Roberta. The third one, of course, would be Captain America. The fourth, Carter the 3rd. The fifth and sixth deer are twins (I bet ya didn't know that, did ya?) so I'd have to give them some silly rhyming name...how about Frank and Hank? That sounds good, even though they are females. And then there's that red-nosed beast that guides the way for the rest. Everyone knows what his name is, as it's etymology has been celebrated in one of the most popular Christmas songs ever...that's right...Santa's Bitch.
20. Angel on the tree top or a star?
You can't expect a heavenly being to remain tethered to a tree top for the duration of the Christmas season. Unless, of course, you're talking about one of the really scary ones from the book of Ezekial, in which case I suppose you could tie one up and let it struggle for freedom in a cage perched at the top of your tree. You'd have to set it free after the Christmas holiday, because they are bestowed with uncanny skills of escape on New Years Eve. On that day the wreak more havoc in a 24 hour period than a mob gang can muster up in two weeks. So string one of 'em up if you get the chance. Otherwise the star is acceptable. Just as long as you understand that in many parts of the world it is considered a strong talisman for use in Satanic rituals.
21. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning?
I was always told that all kids who could not wait until Christmas morning to open their presents were selfish, impatient bastards who didn't even deserve to get any presents. Of course, I fell into this category. I thought it was all good, but later in my life my mother confessed that she and dad would have bought better toys for me if I had waited until Christmas day. As it was, I had to feign excitement over the third set of Lincoln Logs in as many years.
22. Most annoying thing about this time of year?
Salvation Army beggars with their bells and their cheerful "Merry Christmas" wishes. It's a well-known fact that they silently curse you if you don't put money in their buckets.
23. Favorite ornament theme or color?
I once had an ornament set based on the members of Charles Manson's Family. Oh my God, it was so cool. I had to take it down, though, because my Jewish mother-in-law said she offended by the swastikas carved in their foreheads. I think she was just being a party-pooper.
24. Favorite for Christmas dinner?
With the exception of the canned cranberry sauce I make it a point not to eat on Christmas day. I've always done that, and I don't know why. The only thing I can figure is that grass is green and the sky is blue.
25. What do you want for Christmas this year?
City Hall.

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags?
Wrapping paper. Got two left thumbs and the end result looks like something straight from a wastepaper basket, which is good because that's where it disappears in anyway....
2. Real tree or Artificial?
Artificial. Real trees are idiotically expensive here (remember, it is the middle of summer here) and since I live by myself a bit of a waste. My fakey has been through some hell and looks lopsided but the lights are nice and still functioning...
3. When do you put up the tree?
Done it yesterday. It's in action from this night. The mozzies love him!
4. When do you take the tree down?
Jan 7, after Three Kings- that's the official date, I'm told.
5. Do you like egg nog?
No, never liked that gooey stuff. A nice cabernet sauvignon'll do the trick much better.
6. Favorite gift received as a child?
My first bike- reason was that both my nephew and sister were jealous as hell! Bonza!
7. Do you have a nativity scene?
No, but at my folks' home we have- authentic figurines which are now worth a fortune.
8. Hardest person to buy for?
My niece and nephew. What bloody gaming systems do they have again? But I have stopped sending them gifts since they couldn't care to send something to me so....even easier!
9. Easiest person to buy for?
Myself. Got dibs on the new Blade Runner box set!
10. Mail or email Christmas cards?
Both. I like the personality of a Christmas card but some people I don't have an address from so I must mail them....
11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received?
My mothers' taste in sweaters is atrocious!
12. Favorite Christmas Movie?
OK, I totally dislike the typical American Christmas movie! The movie industry really ruined the whole idea of Christmas for me. The saccharine and insincerity makes me really nauseous and the fact that people like Tim Allen, Will Ferrell and Steve Martin seem to be involved in many of them makes it even worse. I liked Bad Santa to a point but after a while it just became crass because of being crass...but most importantly because Santa Claus is in fact a complete rip-off of a honoured old Dutch tradition called Sinterklaas which is being held on December 5 and literally was stolen by Coca Cola for sales purposes it has completely no other meaning to me as a cash cow for retailers...ironically to which I belong!
13. When do you start shopping for Christmas?
The very last moment but these days I only buy gifts for my folks- I can't afford to spend money on all my relatives- besides my sister and her kids never send me anything, so fuck 'em.
14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present?
If reducing turkey to poo is recycling, then, yes.
15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas?
I loved the fondues we had as a kid at home! All you can eat with all sorts of topping!
16. Clear lights or colored on the tree?
Got coloured lights on the little tree here but loved the white trees we had at home.
17. Favorite Christmas song?
Silent Night- Mahalia.....that's what Christmas is about. I'm not religious but it is a true moment.
18. Travel at Christmas or stay home?
No travel! All those idiots on the road...most of 'em drunk from the Christmas soirees they had...
19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer?
Yes, I can.
20. Angel on the tree top or a star?
A star. Just like me...
21. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning?
Don't get presents now, just something from my parents which I open as soon as it arrives in the mail. I don't celebrate as such. In the past- open presents at Christmas Eve.
22. Most annoying thing about this time of year?
The incredible shopping rush we're experiencing now. People who have to queue to pay, are tired, have short tempers and decide to take it out on staff. The tons of stock we get in and struggle to put lout...no it is not fun to work- I am doing about 60 hours a week to get everything done. We're open on Boxing Day too- greed knows no boundaries. Look forward to next year already.
23. Favorite ornament theme or color?
Blue as in the warm summer skies over our country!
24. Favorite for Christmas dinner?
Booze.
25. What do you want for Christmas this year?
I have something itemized earlier in the questionnaire...but health for my friends and family is the most important!
