I got sunburned in London!!!! Haven't you seen me story in one of the Abuzz digressions about the afternoon tea at the Ritz, and the drop of sweat on the waiter's nose and the gin? And the "ladies'" loos?
Hello.
After some perusing of various idle ramblings, I cannot pinpoint what exactly I am being accused of starting. Being evil? Being a woman? Starting all manners of undisclosed trouble? Some silly thing about carrots?
Explain yourselves!
dlowan:
You must be confused.
The sun doesn't come out in London.
London's not on the solar itinerary.
Maybe you had acute rosacea.
Ooops! look who's here. She 's got a mean look in her eye.
I think I'll just lower my head and use my pumpkin camouflage.
Wait a minute!...I didn't do anything wrong!...(to her at least)...
No matter. Look at those eyes!
I'd like to take this time to ask this uneven cross-section of the international community a question.
Why the hell does somebody need a raincoat and an umbrella? Buncha people this morning with both. If you carry an umbrella, what inspires you to go out and buy a raincoat? And if you're gonna buy a raincoat when you already carry an umbrella, is it really necessary to go to REI and buy the North Face $350 Andes Expedition GoreTex Parka to wear under your umbrella? And if you've already got a jacket -- particularly one designed to withstand both the snows of Kilamanjaro and a Southeast Asian monsoon, why in God's name do you need an umbrella? Sir Edmund Hillary did climbed Everest in, like, CANVAS!
Is it because with just your jacket you can't obliviously threaten to stab me in the eye?!?!??
hahahaha! Excellent questions pdog!
(All these short SUV-driving middle-aged women were likely not boyscouts, but I do appreciate the thought...)
ut oh..sugars here....what did she do exactly anyway?
Its pueos fault...yep, thats it.
Hes sleeping or something now..right?
Is there no wind in Seattle? An umbrella only does so much, neck-down; and a raincoat only does so much, neck-up (even the best hood exposes one's face to the frigid lashes of rain.)
That said, many, many things about tiny middle-aged women in giant SUV's who seem to need a variety of accruements suitable for an arctic expedition to go a few blocks or maybe even a mile to have their highlights touched up BOTHER ME.
Why umbrella and a raincoat ? It's a "belt and braces" job. Safety in numbers and it prevents the raincoat from getting wet. Madness in the face of sanity
Oh, wumbuddy might get wet!
Okay, I'm quiet now. Anyone make any trouble on this mother?
I have addressed the issue at hand on the appropriate therad. Carry on!
We are simply not worthy
thank you for your wisdoms...we fear thee greatly and are humbled
ahem....
back to troubles
Sugar - somebody accused you of being the traitorous woman who went and fetched the original "Women are evil" thread from Abuzz for Craven so he could have his evil way with it here, too. Abuzz has kenned his true character and will not let him pass its portals.
Other than that, I don't think anyone thought you especially evil.
I don't even have a brolly now.....I use folded papers and such...
Brolly. That's goofier than bumbershoot.
A brolly is a labor saving device. for the simple reason it can be said a lot quicker than unbrella .. brolly wins by 1 sylable to 3
"Wet" is shorter still, and since it is a fairly common state of being rather than a manufactured object, it can be acquired without money, won't invert in the wind, and won't make you angry when you lose it.
And, more to the point, it won't poke me in the eye!
