Wad jokes are far more my style.

Interesting that you were kind of pushed into teaching. Maybe it's better that way?

Heh. Somehow your comment turned "Thread" into a phallic image. Not sure how. Heh. Funny.

There are more posts over there now. We've flummoxed matt, or something.

Urgh, I can't even remember the first time I student-taught. I've mentally blocked the horror. I did relax into it after a while and enjoyed it a lot at times. I could see myself teaching later if the writing gig doesn't pan out.

Cool that you've harnessed the nervous energy. And yes you are fun and entertaining.

Oh crap we blew past 2222. Way past.

It was a fine idea, SJ Jim, but it was not to be. :-(

Oh well, on the deflated note. I should go. I have to call my agent early in the morning to discuss a story I don't want to discuss. Talk about sick feelings in the pit of the stomach...

"OK SO SHOOT ME “CATCLAWS”! I STOLE YOUR FLUMMOXING LINE. big deal. "

Huh? Did you just get an image of my long dangerous claws slashign at you? Why?

Ciao! And behave. ;-)

"feeling guilty for stealing your line. "

LOL, flummoxing is in the public domain. And besides, it's not stealing if we share a brain.

Okay, now I'm really leaving. No, really.

HOLY CRAP. YOU PEOPLE ARE STILL POSTING HERE?@!?!?!!111

Cheers,

It was a fine idea, SJ Jim, but it was not to be.

Well, there's always huh-3333.

Yeah, prat, it's still going . We keep trying to end it on some nice number...1000, 2000, 2222 (ahem!). But the temptation to randomize is stronger than the discipline to harmonize...hence all is entropic.

Flummoxing is a good word...reminds me of jabberwocky and marshmallow.
Oh I'm glad Matt re-posted SQT's post...because I missed it the first time & now I got to see firsthand that it was nothing that should've been deleted in the first place. OTOH, from what I could tell, he did receive a bit of a flummoxing for it....

Jack, nervous teachers rock...cause it means they must give at least a bit of a damn!

Um, what is that in SQT's hair?

Let me see if I've got this straight:

SQT = squirt
Jamie = willis

Okay, got it!

Jack, Jack, my homeboy, my blood.

"I think we will buy the chainsaw house"

Anything's better than a nappy house. :-)

Shall we do a formal analysis of Jack's stunning poem?

Why not?

How did the election go?

Not good, I suppose...

Oh hell that echo again.

I'll just talk to myself so I can be sure I things go the way I want.

"Why Jamie, how are you today? Feeling better?"

"Yes, all the vitriol is gone thanks."

"Whassup wit dat, anyway?"

"I'm a raging emotional bitch, of course. I get all stressed out when I have to bottle it up and pretend to be nice."

"So you're not really a nice, calm person?"

"No."

Yep.

"good to hear that. You should try being you then, at least once in awhile! "

Being real is too hard and offends people too often.

But whatever. You didn't answer my questions.

Greens lost?

Why can't we do a formal analysis of your poem? It's really quit stirring.

Er, quite. I meant quite.

So your done with vertical and will be working completely with horizontal now? :-P

This thread isn't so miserable as some others.

How exactly does horizontal feel, besides flat?

Downside of sharing a brain, I guess. But yes, our negativity seems to multiply.

Maybe I"m horziontal today. Or at a 90-degree angle, halfway between horizontal and verticle.

I think you are too.

Oops, that would be 45 degrees, not 90, right? I hate geometry.

No I made myself get my work done before I posted. Novel idea, restraint.

"I do tend to be a conductor of other peoples feelings sometimes, but sheesh… "

Yes, you were feeling exactly the way I was last night, I could tell. It's freakish. I reflect other people's emotions sometimes too, so I guess if we're both reflecting the same thing, it's like that weird mirror effect that makes things look like they go on forever. Or something.

"I blasted my class today with my art is NOT threrapy rant. I really went off. "

Did you make them bleed?

I hope not too badly. The bleeding, I mean. Or maybe it's good to bleed badly.
