That Moment...

That moment when you realize you are the only sane being in the forum.

 

TMW...

 

What, exactly, makes you think you're sane?

 

TMW when you realize the art thread you made in another forum had 45 viewings, but no commentary. Kind of a bummer. Oh well, I'm doing it for my own pleasure.

@Garball - You are just as insane as the rest of us.

 

The gnome that lives in my sock drawer told me. Duh!

 

That gnome lost a lot of money betting on the USA to win the World Cup, you know. I, personally, took him for twenty bucks. He's not an expert on sanity. Neither, for that matter, is the gremlin who lives in your underwear drawer, though I can't claim firsthand knowledge of that.

Let's face it: the only gnomes and gremlins you can trust in matters such as these are probably Muppets, and you're not paying them enough. So give up.

Personally, I know I'm sane because everything I think makes sense.

 

Nah Muppets haven't been sane since Jim Henson died. Kermit has been an absolute wreck. I'd go to the Fraggles for advice, but only talk to the ones that are off the Dozer stuff. I hear they don't even eat the stuff anymore, they have gone to crushing and shooting it up for a quick high. It's sad... real sad.

 

I really hope those guys don't get on my laptop and read this. That "gremlin," as you called her, is a faerie and she is very self conscious about her complexion. If I get home and all of my furniture is enchanted because you upset her, we are going to think nasty thoughts about you.

 

Too late, I think he sent his squirrel minions to do the task.

 

Faeries only roam panty drawers...

 

TMW Datak Tarr gets smootchie with an Irathient hustler/spy to get some info. We knew Stahma was a switch hitter, but Datak... Didn't see that comin'.

 

I wasn't talking about the faerie. She's fine; she plays bridge with my late mother on alternate Tuesdays. It's the gremlin I mean - you might not be aware of him. He has a burrow down there among the stained old tightie-whities you still have from high school. Throw those out, BTW, before they become a HAZMAT issue.

@Link the Writer's post about my squirrel minions is, in fact, true, and you should watch out for that. Though I should point out that squirrel minions, being squirrels, aren't very reliable.

 

Correction: Your faeries only roam your panty drawers.

 

One of these days @minstrel...

 

Every so often, @Wreybies, you pop out a post that is utterly incomprehensible to me. This is one such case. I am currently rereading A Clockwork Orange, and I still can't recognize or translate any of this off-kilter Nadsat you're speaking here.

 

No worries, my good droog. I've got the good moloko for, ya'. Datak is a character from the show Defiance. He's into a bit of the ultraviolence himself. But watching him snog a hot Irathient hustler, that was unexpected.

 

Are you talking about Dorthax? He's not a gremlin, he's a pigmy troll. I'm really more concerned with your inability to recognize fantasy fauna than I am with your knowledge of my underwear drawer. BTW, you didn't snag my Chewbacca underoos did you?

 

I think he's been licking the frogs in his back yard/jungle.

 

That Moment...
you realize you are no longer one of the funny people but just a nuisance.

 

No. We don't have those kind here.





I checked.

 

To clarify: Dorthax is the brand of tightie-whities you have in your underwear drawer. I'm talking about the gremlin in the tiny Batman costume. And the only reason I know about your underwear drawer is because you, or someone who has access to your phone (Bat-gremlin, maybe) keeps tweeting me pictures of it!

As for Chewbacca's underoos, he came back for them. Sentimental value and all. According to my sources, anyway.

Back on topic: That moment when you realize things have gone too far off the beam and you wish someone would just bring everything back to whatever topic we were originally discussing.

 

That moment when...you realize your dogs are so scared of the rain that they won't go outside to have their morning walk before breakfast.

I'm not sure whether to feel sad or feel ashamed for them. Their cousins (the wolves) sleep in the rain, for goodness sake!

 

That moment when you realize the next book in the series isn't out for ages.

 

Conversely, that moment when you realize that the book series you are really getting into had long since finished decades earlier and you feel like you've missed out on all the discussions.

 

TMW you realize that the author may not finish the series at all. Yes, David Gerrold, I'm talking to you, mister. Finish the Chtorr books or I'm going to show you some uses for tribbles you may not have thought of.
