Did everyone go to bed?

*crickets chirping* hello? is there anybody out there?

Hello Dolly Doll...........Chilly Willy.........

Willie......?..........I don't know.

It's Chilly Willy. :o)

That's your penguins name..............cold as ice!

nah... he looks a little bit like the old bud ice penguin.

Perhaps, but he still isn't kickin' down, so he's cold as ice....

Hi, theval-tce, I'm up and 'available', been busy on another post but I'm here now..Doc

What's this inane question you're asking on the other thread?

Inane? So you think it's a boring question?

Tce, if that question was for me, it was in responce to a post under 'why does everyone play tight'...Doc

No, just too much work for my pea sized little brain............Just ask Melissa Einstein.

.............er, Melissa Einstein Love-Hewitt, that is.

No Doc, I was referring to the one theval was asking...............about an all encompassing tattoo theme..................hey, that's it! A compass!!!!!

All I did was ask for help with writing an analogy....

Analogy? Sorry, you better see a proctologist about that.

I wasn't asking about an all encompassing tattoo theme. Jeez. I was asking for ideas of what to compare tattoo's..etc with... Such as: Getting a tattoo is like skydiving...(still trying to finish the analogy) You seem grumpy. Take a midol. Hi Doc!!

Sorry for the mix up, sometimes it's hard to follow (no time stamp, ya know?) Didn't catch the question theval was asking but I'm fairly handy with anologies so perhaps I could offer some assistance?...Doc

I'm not grumpy at all, I just took a Pamprin. theval, you rock!!! I love the way you call people on their shit just like the rest of us GUYS! You rock it better because you're a girl, and you're on the same page. I guess Kiki will have to look elsewhere for decent equipment. Is their current even 110V/120V in India? She may inadvertently end up giving herself a tattoo. Kiki is a 'her', isn't she?

It's under the tuesday night sign in thread....

Hi theval, how are ya? Read the post you refered to and damn it, cutie,that's more difficult than I'd expected but, speaking for myself, I don't think you're an asshole for asking (I'd politely tell ya if I thunk it, as I trust you know) Actually, it's a damn good question and since I'm taking it as a serious question, I'll try to address it as such although I'm not too sure it's gonna be easy as it can mean alot of different things to alot of different people as I'm sure you know. Damn, now I'm actually gonna have to THINK for awhile. Could come up with some a bit cheesy like 'tattoo artist do it with little pricks' but somehow I doubt that's what you need for school . Corny jokes aside, that's an interesting subject, really and I'll be curious to see the replies you get. I know I've had clients tell me a number of different things over the years, such as it made them feel liberated (ladies), that it somehow made them more aware of their bodies, that they felt they were now a living canvas, had artwork that no one could ever steal and even some who told me their artwork made them happier than they'd been in a long time (which sure makes me as their artist feel great but makes me wonder how sad their lives must be sometimes) How 'bout 'Tattoo Artist make the world a bit more beautiful, one body at a time'? Should probably stipulate 'GOOD Tattoo Artist' there,huh? I'm going to have to put some thought to this one and it's a bit too late in the day for that tonight/this morning, but I'm going to try to think of some good stuff later today and will get back to ya when I can. Hopefully you'll get some good feed back on this...Doc

Yes, Doc, please help her! LOL!!

Yeah, I do rock. I mean, I don't mean to sound stuck up, but I'm kind of a big deal. Tim, I'm glad you took your pamprin. Maybe a xanax too, so you can forget all about that dipshit Melissa chick.

Oh no, I don't want to forget her........................it's on now baby!! While she's off getting clotted up over this lame shit, I'm having the time of my life!!!!! It's so great to be a child....... LOL!!! Did you ever see the movie 'The Doom Generation' with Rose McGowan? TCE

So Doc, You're going to TAzFEST, right? TCE

............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................Screw you guys, I'm going to bed!!! @@@@i dont wanna wait..................for our lives to b@@@@@@

Oh come on! You can't cut out now!!!!

Well, WTF did you guys get off to? Where, not what.

You didn't answer my question......................Uh.........email me!

I'm watching this thread with one eye, and doing homework at the same time. Sheesh. I don't want to e-mail you. Your damn connection takes too freaking long.

Not as long as this forum takes to reload...................I'm doing other things online, so I'll talk to you later. Have a good night! TCE

Fine. Be that way. Talk to you tomorrow! Oh, and no.. haven't seen that movie. What's it about?

Actually, I am going to go to bed. This staying and playing up late shit is cutting into my daytime productivity.................I need to stop it! TCE

Yes Tim, barring unseen events, I'll definitely be at the Tazfest. How 'bout you and you too, of course, theval? Plan on attending?...Doc

It's one of these underground goth flicks,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,it's old, but it's mildly amusing. I don't know why, but I just envision this Shaun guy like the wussy boyfriend in the movie. And now, here's where Melissa comes to Shaun's defense..........Hee hee hee!

Nice. Sounds kinda funny. No, I won't be able to make it to TAzfest. :o(

Doc, I think I've agreed to play some tunes with Nick Lachey, er I mean Nik Scarlatti, and J-werk, and Al on Butt Trumpet and Bag Pipes. I think Al is going to play the solo section of 'Do Ya Think I'm Sexy' on his squeeze sac. So, unless I'm dead, I'll probably be there....................Looking forward to meeting you man!! TCE

theval, damn, sorry to hear you won't be going. What's the problem?, sure sounds like you could stand getting away from your studies for a couple of days, the old 'all work, no play' concept which is TRUE you know...Doc

TCE, glad to hear you'll be there, I'm honestly looking forward to actually meeting the 'Family' and think it's gonna be a blast as well, double the fun so to speak. And on that note I'm going to bed, later...Doc

Hey now Doc, she's got an old man, er, I mean, husband at home!! LOL!!!!!! Besides, I have dibs on her penguin! theval, it really is disappointing that you won't be there, though. TCE

The husband and I just won't have enough time off saved up to be able to go. I wish I could go too. It sounds like it's going to be a blast. I just had a 3 week break from school, so I'm not in need of one at the moment. And I really don't work all that much.... somewhere in the ballpark of like 8-12 days a month... I just don't end up doing my school work till nighttime, which incidentially is when I'm playing around on the forum...which is why it seems like I'm always doing homework. In reality, I only spend like 3-5 hours a day on it.

Tim, whoa, ain't like that at all, just that theval seems like a rather unique person and I'd like to meet her in person. I figured she was 'taken' would be very surprised if she wasn't. And, theval, thanks for the clarification/explaination, still sorry you won't be there, though...G'Night all...Doc

So then it sounds like you really have no good excuse.................Quit screwing around, and getcher butt there!! TCE

I would if I could. I just simply won't have the time off. Or the funds. I'm getting out in a year, and we need to save so that as soon as I'm done, we can move the fuck out of this stupid ass place.

Just stumbled on the thread to see you speaking about me and my fiance without any reason. May i ask what did we do to provoke this attack?? "It's one of these underground goth flicks,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,it's old, but it's mildly amusing. I don't know why, but I just envision this Shaun guy like the wussy boyfriend in the movie. And now, here's where Melissa comes to Shaun's defense..........Hee hee hee! " You know nothing about him, why get personal? Thats just low. I don't see why you just try and intentionally offend people, life is to short for your shit.

Melissa, You did nothing..........................I'm short of wit, immature, stupid, and apathetic...............................furthermore, this is a public forum, and we weren't talking about what we DON'T know about you, or TO you, but rather what we've seen of you and your fiance', TO other forum members!! True to my word, low and behold..................here you are. If you don't like what you read on here, as you haven't seemed to so far, then don't read it!!!!!!!!! TCE

Doc, I was not at all serious about the hubby thing........................it was a play on the 'old man' thread from the other night..............you remember, right? Okay, shhhhhhhh!!!!! Quiet about the parrot night now!!! See Doc, I respect the hell out of you (and theval, and TAz, and Al, and J-werk, Krystof, Caribou, Hotspark, Ahlyn, and the whole cast), and even if I didn't agree with you on something, I wouldn't go out of my way to offend YOU. I may inadvertently do so in emphatically trying to make my point valid, but in the case of a family member, it would never be intentional. Doc, I realize that you haven't gotten your panties in a bunch over this, but I think I better clarify for the benefit of those who have no clue: The aforementioned post was all in good fun, despite what SOME stuffy, humorless, idiots aound here might think.......................... Best Regards TCE

PUBLIC FORUM so dont tell me what to do! "dont read it!" Anything i read that you have said about shaun and/or i, i am going to repsond to. You can say what you want about me, but i am going to defend myself.

Good times!! Knock yourself out!

"This friction will only be worn by resistance"...............Vital Signs.....Rush, Moving Pictures 1981.

Everything we do now, will echo in eternity x

Perhaps, but I'll be too dead to hear it!!

Maybe, maybe not. :)

See now melissa?...this is called dialogue!...If we didn't kinda like you, even tho we don't agree with you, we would just ignore you!!..We like people who speak their mind even if that mindset is not the prevailing mind set...Do ya get it?...And yes sometin\mes we are gonna ruffle your feathers...thats all part of it dear...It kinda shows us how real you are....SO THERE!! DAMMITTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...TAz

may i ask you to explain how "rufflinf my feathers" shows "how real i am" Just curious? I have very little reason to believe you like me, i just think that you guys like taking out your anger on me, which is fine, been there before.

Oh, don't go pullin' out the pity card now!!! You're just askin' for it when you do that..........................which, for now, I shall refrain. Rufflin' feathers means we get to see how you act under pressure. TCE

I am in no way wanting/expeting pity, please never think that of me. I am a defensive girl by nature, i just bite back to anything that i dont think is right. I dont tell anyone else they are wrong, i just let them know that they have/may offend people and that they should consider some other thought processes.

Or, if you get offended over the simplest things (like my own, and others', impression of your fiance'), maybe you need to alter your own though process. We're not the ones who are getting upset over it. In fact, just for fun if you will, I cordially invite you to stoop to my level, just in this one instance............................and say, or make up anything you'd like, about me, my family, my mama, whatever!!!! I'll give you an idea of how easy it is to let shit roll off without getting upset. TCE

I won tlower myself to that level. I respect other people and hope that they give me the same respect back, you dont want to , fair enough. But an ol saying goes...."if you dont have anything nice tosay, then dont sya it at all" dont take it as im telling you what to do...just think about it. :)

Actually, the way I heard it was, "If you don't have anything nice to say, wait till they're out of the room, or say something vague." But I believe in honesty!!! TCE

Tim, thanks for the explaination, really but fear not, while ya did get me with the hubby thing, I've got a damn good (if somewhat warped sometimes) sense of humor and I can TAKE it as well as dish it out (unlike some of the over-tight poopers who rather desperately need to loosen up IMO) Like you, I don't ALWAYS agree totally with what Family members say but I too respond to them with a bit more finesse than the post from dumb-ass 'outsiders' But, as I warned ya the other night when ya tattled about that parott thing (part of the reason I gave up the booze), I'll get ya. I was born and raised Sicilian and in case you ain't heard, WE wrote the book on paybacks! By the way, even my 10 year old son got a laugh off that one, once I explained it to him....Doc

I should have said "multi colored spiked hair", that might have made it easier...................................Your kid doesn't have spiked hair, does he? LOL!!! TCE

Tim, in responce to your last question, NFW...Doc

Im not saying that you dont have free speech by saying "if you dont have anything nice to say then dont say anything at all" Its just a saying to make you think of what purpose what your syaing that isnt nice has.... :)

Melissa, In case you haven't figured it out by now, I'm not nice. It's not a 'Bad Boy' image sort of thing, and it's not a 'Nice guys finish last' thing either. I think I've already explained it well enough on another thread...................but basically, if I see holes in your argument, I'm calling you on your shit!!!! And you're free to do the same. But I will not go out of my way to be nice just for the sake of pleasantries, or sugar coat the truth so that someone doesn't get their feelings hurt. People come on here time and again, and ask for, or give, opinions, and then get upset when the responses don't resonate with their own views. I'm usually well aware before I post something that it's going to be met with backlash.....................but it doesn't stop me from saying it, and I don't get my feelings hurt when I can't find one other person who agrees with me. Perhaps people in your country are more mature than they are here, but I'm telling you, you'd be hard pressed to find a truly mature 14 year old in the U.S., much less a mature 20 year old anymore......................or 42 year old for that matter. TCE

I appreciate your honesty and am happy to have someone to have heated discussions with as we learn through interaction. If no-one said what they really thought what would they learn in ife? not alot. I stand my ground as you do to, which i admire, as not that many people particulalry in the UK say what they think anymore. Thankyou for discussing with me, i appreciate your time and thoughts :)
