PlantANote Member	posted 05-15-2006 03:30 PM Oh yeah. I'm in the area that's getting the worst of it, up on the North Shore. But luckily it's actually not bad around me. Just everyone I know is having leaking basements, ours included. My dad had to dig a trench in our backyard yesterday to keep it out. And I was out in it yesterday trying to buy a Mothers day gift... not very fun. But I see sunshine later this week!! How about you? Anyone else in MA getting it bad?

OvertheMoonforIM Member	posted 05-15-2006 03:46 PM Out school is completely flooded, so I had no school today. My brother and his friends are kayaking in the parking lot as we type, it's that deep. Right now though, it's not raining where I live, but it is supposed to start up again. The rivers around me are expected to crest once the rain starts again, so I'm routinely checking school cancellations for tomorrow. I'm a big fan of rain days, they are even better than snow days.

PlantANote Member	posted 05-15-2006 04:21 PM My goodness OtMfIM, I wish I could have a rain day from work! A couple of the roads that I take to get here were closed, which threw me for a loop. My mom works for the Teachers' Union in our city and she didn't have to work today. Everytime school gets cancelled, she gets a day off. Blasphemy! (I think I just might be over-using that word today, heh.) I think tonight's storm is only supposed to add another inch or so. Good for forest fires! Bad for moods. I'm so sick of rain, I want to wear my fun skirts and flip flops and tanks again! IP: Logged

I've read the book, the film didn't look like it would do it for me, but the book was incredible.

Acey Member	posted 05-15-2006 05:19 PM Favourite part? The drivvel is the only part to my emails. Anyway i'm off to have a nice, hot, long, steamy shower. With lots and lots of suds. Ha. I wish I was a complete slut, otherwise that's just silly. And the fact that the reason i'm showering is because i stink from my dance class first thing this morning negates the whole faux-eroticsm anyway. vacates IP: Logged

No-one's allowed to water the bastard, so it'll die in the drought before long. You should watch the ghastly Howard Keel movie (nothing like the book, but great for camp value: 'I'm running away very slowly from this even slower plant, that is clearly an extra dressed in camo netting and fake leaves'). If you really want scaring, watch the British TV series that was made in the early 1980s. If the creepy intro music and the nasty plants don't scare you, by God the kipper ties, leather elbow patches on jackets and terrifying hairstyles will... It won't rain this year. The show I'm touring with is a theatre one. It only ever rains when I'm misguided enough to do outdoor promenade theatre. And ah! Early morning dance classes. How well I remember them. And how bloody glad I am never to have to do another one ever again. Down with dance belts and point shoes! [This message has been edited by King of Quox (edited 05-15-2006).] IP: Logged

Saint Aelphaba Moderator	posted 05-16-2006 08:12 AM Hah hah. Well in hebrew school, there weren't many limits on swearing, though you can't really swear in hebrew, they don't have the right vowels (go figure!) So we learned in Arabic. But I never stayed around long enough in class to ask. And the teacher yelled at Zach and Ben to "Get the hell out of my classroom, NOW!" Every five minutes... actually, I saw my teacher a few weeks ago, was scary. IP: Logged
King of Quox Member	posted 05-16-2006 04:05 PM I hope you're happy, Acey. It rained all day today. That filthy Triffid will have perked up and be dancing the fandango on your lawn now it's been thoroughly watered. IP: Logged

WATER CRISIS! ...looks at wet sky Hmmm. Very amusing, but what, of course, you, and the layman in general fail to appreciate is that this is the WRONG type of water. It is wet, composed mainly of hydrogen dioxide and fallen from the sky. Now this is not the sort of water that the water authorities could have expected to face and, as such, the anti-drought measures will remain in place. This has nothing to do with the financial mismanagment of said authorities and the huge bonuses they have paid their bosses, instead of spending the cash on repairing the burst water mains and leaky valves that lose gallons and gallons of water every day. Nothing at all. And everything to do with the WRONG type of water. IP: Logged

Lithuania's wishful thinking or Iceland's devine intervention... it's tricky... Ditto the double post. I might go for a record and do a triple one. I suppose the lyrics are an improvement on diggi-loo, diggi-ley and boom-bang-a-bang and all the other gibberish we've had to endure before now. I didn't think I celand had got in anyway. They were in the relegation zone and had to battle it out with the other crappo nations. God, can you believe people actually fight NOT to be relegated from Eurovision? IP: Logged
PlantANote Member	posted 05-16-2006 04:40 PM Hee, you guys make me giggle. Well, let me tell you my interesting night happening sort of story thingy. I get home from dance last night and the city I live in is notorious for forest fires in the summer. Well we know the smell distinctly now as it happens every summer. Anyway, I arrive home last night and step out of the car and am hit with this scent. "That's odd," I say to myself. How in the world can we be having forest fires when it's been raining for 8 STRAIGHT DAYS?!?! And we're flooding so bad that even our idiot Gov. Romney is cracking jokes on national TV about sorting through the animals for the ark now. Ha bloody ha! But yeah, I'm still baffled by the forest fire smell... ponders [This message has been edited by PlantANote (edited 05-16-2006).] IP: Logged

King of Quox Member	posted 05-16-2006 05:17 PM In the light of all the serious discussion of gayery everywhere on the boards, could I recommend the following in a slightly lighter vein.

Acey Member	posted 05-16-2006 05:26 PM Wow. I just felt really really sick, to the point where i was preparing to blow chunks (ha, that's vile) and i've had three strawberries, and now i'm cured. That's so cool. To be honest Peter my pet i haven't even attempted to sent an email... oop, there's the illness again, urg... I had sausage and beans on toast at the greasy spoon next to college earlier and i think they're seeking revenge. That cafe's normally quite good with the whole anti-ecoli thing aswell. Shame. Oh, Your Majesty the King of Quoxiness, explain to the Americans what a greasy spoon is... and 'beans on toast' too... be sure to mention Heinz. throws up But my garden is triffid free... but i think full of Gnomes, which is nice, real ones, not the gawdy camp ones... Adding: Also, since when is Heath having four-day weekends? Do you think we've done something wrong Peter? gasps Do you think he's split up with us and hasn't even had the courtesy to tell us! Whore. No, that's not like him... oh, i do hate it when he disappears for days, does make me worry for him... [This message has been edited by Acey (edited 05-16-2006).] IP: Logged

The King of Quox takes orders from no-one! But in your case, and especially seeing as you're sick, I'll make an exception. Gather ye round, Americans. A 'greasy spoon' is a particularly fine dining establishment, much like the 'transport caff', which is found throughout Britian, often in the slightly less salubrious parts of town. Here you can feast on delicacies such as 'the full English', a truly artery-hardening selection of prime cuts of pig (and probably all other manner of miscellanious quadrupeds to boot), overdone eggs and 'black pudding', a toothsome treat made of congealed piggy blood (rather like eating a giant scab, I suppose). For those of us of a vegematarian bent, dishes such as 'beans on toast' are offered, which consist of seared petit pain liberally garnished with hand-plucked haricots in a coulis of tomato sauce. Acey, sweetheart, I think Heinz was American, so I think they'll get him (and his random 57 varieties). The last thing I'd want to do is patronise the people from the colonies... Oops. Hope you feel better. Have a cup of tea. Never fails. Industrial-strength navvy tea you could stand a spoon in, with nine sugars, just like you'd get in the greasy spoon, obviously! (showing off as I can do these now). [This message has been edited by King of Quox (edited 05-16-2006).] IP: Logged

Have to be up early to usher... ush?... agents into seeing a showcase at college for another course... "Yes, hire them, don't worry about me. I'll just spending my days ushing around. Do you mind if i ush your coat, sir, and i'll ush you in the back of the threatre. Devine." I'm such a quasi-slut. coll-opses [This message has been edited by Acey (edited 05-16-2006).] IP: Logged
