This is so much better than the flirt thread.

It's a mysterious rash that has medical science baffled.

All my best.

Good luck with your endeavors.

The bus is running late.

― Justyn Dillingham (Justyn Dillingham), Friday, 24 January 2003 06:46 (twenty-three years ago)

And it's partly cloudy out today. OH NO!!

― Justyn Dillingham (Justyn Dillingham), Friday, 24 January 2003 06:46 (twenty-three years ago)

I enjoy all of your company immensely.

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Friday, 24 January 2003 07:34 (twenty-three years ago)

You're still more than welcome to come visit. Any time you like.

we can still be friends

At the end of the day, the sun went down. Long may it continue to rise, ma'am!

― Marcello Carlin, Friday, 24 January 2003 09:16 (twenty-three years ago)

Cold out, isn't it?

― smee (smee), Friday, 24 January 2003 09:22 (twenty-three years ago)

Ah, madam, winter draws on.

― Marcello Carlin, Friday, 24 January 2003 09:24 (twenty-three years ago)

More bisque?

I really like what you've done with your hair.

― Lara (Lara), Friday, 24 January 2003 09:27 (twenty-three years ago)

You're a pal. *punches ILE's arm lovingly*

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 24 January 2003 09:31 (twenty-three years ago)

This thread is quite nice, I think.

― Colin Meeder (Mert), Friday, 24 January 2003 09:34 (twenty-three years ago)

Here's my card. Call anytime.

― M Matos (M Matos), Friday, 24 January 2003 09:34 (twenty-three years ago)

It is *nice*.

― Lara (Lara), Friday, 24 January 2003 09:37 (twenty-three years ago)

Do you like the creases in my jeans? I ironed them especially.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 24 January 2003 09:40 (twenty-three years ago)

*And* I really like the shoes you wear.

― Lara (Lara), Friday, 24 January 2003 09:44 (twenty-three years ago)

Time for Sex in the City!

― M Matos (M Matos), Friday, 24 January 2003 09:46 (twenty-three years ago)

Aw, couldn't we just talk. I'm enjoying just getting to know you. Here, have another glass of wine...

― Lara (Lara), Friday, 24 January 2003 09:48 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh thank you so much. Incidentally, what do you suspect the real motives are behind the imminent US military assault on Iraq? Surely it cannot have anything to do with the oil!

― Marcello Carlin, Friday, 24 January 2003 10:03 (twenty-three years ago)

Unlikely. But I wouldn't put it past Bush to pull the wool over our eyes again!

― Lara (Lara), Friday, 24 January 2003 10:04 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh, let's not talk about THAT stuff.

― Colin Meeder (Mert), Friday, 24 January 2003 10:29 (twenty-three years ago)

nice weather we're having.

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Friday, 24 January 2003 10:30 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah. I reckon that cloud'll break before lunch time.

― Lara (Lara), Friday, 24 January 2003 10:31 (twenty-three years ago)

And I hope you don't mind me asking but have you lost weight?

― Lara (Lara), Friday, 24 January 2003 10:31 (twenty-three years ago)

unfortunately, no. but my pants are baggier than normal.

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Friday, 24 January 2003 10:32 (twenty-three years ago)

Well you look just *great*. Do you want to go get a coffee?

― Lara (Lara), Friday, 24 January 2003 10:32 (twenty-three years ago)

Indeed, I was about to partake of one of Starbucks' finer libations. Would you be inclined for a refill?

― Marcello Carlin, Friday, 24 January 2003 10:41 (twenty-three years ago)

*blush*

A, ahem, refill would be goooooooood.

― Lara (Lara), Friday, 24 January 2003 10:42 (twenty-three years ago)

Gah! I forgot myself and flirted. Am I banned from the thread??

― Lara (Lara), Friday, 24 January 2003 10:43 (twenty-three years ago)

My man will escort you to the door.

― Marcello Carlin, Friday, 24 January 2003 10:44 (twenty-three years ago)

you're all making me suspicious.

― g-kit (g-kit), Friday, 24 January 2003 11:11 (twenty-three years ago)

Hi, I collect model cars.

― Mark C (Mark C), Friday, 24 January 2003 11:32 (twenty-three years ago)

I belong to the Bright Yellow Lamborghini Diablo Collectors Club.

― Lara (Lara), Friday, 24 January 2003 11:34 (twenty-three years ago)

Does it include the lime green turntable built into the dashboard so that you can groove to your Tremeloes records while you drive?

― Marcello Carlin, Friday, 24 January 2003 11:36 (twenty-three years ago)

I only listen to rrrawk in my Lambo.

― Lara (Lara), Friday, 24 January 2003 11:40 (twenty-three years ago)

What, you mean like Swinging Blue Jeans, The?

― Marcello Carlin, Friday, 24 January 2003 11:42 (twenty-three years ago)

Nah. Scorpion, U2, BrYan Adams and the like.

― Lara (Lara), Friday, 24 January 2003 11:44 (twenty-three years ago)

Ah, the Scorpions. Would you not agree that "Wind Of Change" was the most poignant representation of the decline and fall of Communism ever attempted in music?

― Marcello Carlin, Friday, 24 January 2003 11:47 (twenty-three years ago)

Quite right. I would not agree.

― Lara (Lara), Friday, 24 January 2003 11:49 (twenty-three years ago)

And would you agree that the existentialist dilemma has never been articulated better in music than in U2's masterful "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For"?

― Marcello Carlin, Friday, 24 January 2003 11:55 (twenty-three years ago)

Nietzsche had a fine singing voice.

― Lara (Lara), Friday, 24 January 2003 11:57 (twenty-three years ago)

I do not believe I have heard any of his wax cylinders. Perhaps perchance I could borrow some from you in order to widen my field of knowledge, and also construct some interesting new bridges across the music-philosophy interface.

But then again, did not existentialism come into existence long after Herr Nietzsche had passed away, or does such a question in itself ridicule the very foundations of such a philosophy, given the tenets of the latter?

― Marcello Carlin, Friday, 24 January 2003 12:01 (twenty-three years ago)

Well it is a word that he probably never heard but he knew a lot about frustrated desire.

― Lara (Lara), Friday, 24 January 2003 12:08 (twenty-three years ago)

I have a frustrated desire! I have long since wished to pay a visit to the branch of the Imperial War Museum at Duxford, yet it is nigh impossible to reach by public transport. They possess some splendid yet taut testimonies in their artillery archives.

― Marcello Carlin, Friday, 24 January 2003 12:11 (twenty-three years ago)

I've been there. Cycle!

― Lara (Lara), Friday, 24 January 2003 12:15 (twenty-three years ago)

Sadly I have never learned to ride one of these new-fangled bicycles. Perhaps one day I shall walk there and raise monies for worthy charities who need our help.

I say, have you ever participated in a Marathon?

― Marcello Carlin, Friday, 24 January 2003 12:20 (twenty-three years ago)

Just recreationally. They're called Snickers now. I have a book that explains why this is. Among other things.

― Lara (Lara), Friday, 24 January 2003 12:21 (twenty-three years ago)

Ah, books are wondrous things, yet it is life which has been my real "university"!

Whom of our new-fangled "Reality Pop Stars" do you believe will enjoy the longest career? I have a view to young Will, personally.

― Marcello Carlin, Friday, 24 January 2003 12:23 (twenty-three years ago)

I have a receptacle for hot beverages upon which the emblem for the aforementioned “Snickers” is emblazoned.

― smee (smee), Friday, 24 January 2003 12:24 (twenty-three years ago)

If we run out of food tomorrow Rik Waller should survive a couple more decades.

― Lara (Lara), Friday, 24 January 2003 12:26 (twenty-three years ago)

Excuse me, do you have the time please?

― Graham (graham), Friday, 24 January 2003 12:26 (twenty-three years ago)

12.20 GMT. Have a nice day!

― Lara (Lara), Friday, 24 January 2003 12:27 (twenty-three years ago)

And a nice day to you too, kind lady. I must now abscond for some splendid luncheon and hopefully shall enjoy further exchanges with you at some as yet unspecified stage thereafter!

― Marcello Carlin, Friday, 24 January 2003 12:29 (twenty-three years ago)

Why thank you Lara.

― Graham (graham), Friday, 24 January 2003 12:35 (twenty-three years ago)

When I saw this thread title, I assumed it must be the Ultimate Ideal Thread, of which all others are but an imperfect imitation.

(I'm still deciding whether it is or not)

― caitlin (caitlin), Friday, 24 January 2003 12:53 (twenty-three years ago)

Thanks for joining us Caitlin.

― Lara (Lara), Friday, 24 January 2003 12:55 (twenty-three years ago)

can i borrow a cup of sugar?

― cameron, Friday, 24 January 2003 13:01 (twenty-three years ago)

There are herein some crystalline white comestibles which I have lately abstracted from the "Tesco" tuckshop. I daresay that, were I to add it to everyone's thankfully necessary apres-luncheon drink, it would provide said drink with a fulsome yet fragile flavour.

― Marcello Carlin, Friday, 24 January 2003 13:35 (twenty-three years ago)

that's good drinkin' tea!

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Friday, 24 January 2003 13:36 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't mind just sitting here is you want to be quiet - but if you want to talk...

― Lara (Lara), Friday, 24 January 2003 14:39 (twenty-three years ago)

But my dear I was waiting for you to fashion your reply! Courtesy before conversation - that's my middle name!

― Marcello Carlin, Friday, 24 January 2003 14:42 (twenty-three years ago)

Most elegant.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 24 January 2003 14:44 (twenty-three years ago)

Of course!

(THIS THREAD IS THROBBING WITH REPRESSED PASSIONS OF VARIOUS SORTS.)

― Colin Meeder (Mert), Friday, 24 January 2003 15:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Sir, it does not.

― Lara (Lara), Friday, 24 January 2003 15:02 (twenty-three years ago)

How very e**.

Ernie: Shhh! They'll think we're some sort of cheap music hall act!

Eric: But we are a cheap music hall act.

Ernie: Yeah but you don't tell them!

Eric: Oh.

― Marcello Carlin, Friday, 24 January 2003 15:03 (twenty-three years ago)

I would like a Socratic thread.

― felicity (felicity), Friday, 24 January 2003 15:03 (twenty-three years ago)

I would like a fine Olde Englishe cup o' tea. Spare the sugar sledge!

― Marcello Carlin, Friday, 24 January 2003 15:04 (twenty-three years ago)

What about a Berkeley-ian (?) thread?

It wouldn't really exist but we'd all talk about it as if it did.

― Lara (Lara), Friday, 24 January 2003 15:05 (twenty-three years ago)

Miss Byrne - pardon my antediluvian nomenclature peccadilloes! - do you happen to prefer pink patterns or green patterns as a design on standard kitchen towels?

― Marcello Carlin, Friday, 24 January 2003 15:07 (twenty-three years ago)

If they're standard they must be white. And starched.

― Lara (Lara), Friday, 24 January 2003 15:09 (twenty-three years ago)

That's an interesting perspective on the assumed desirability of perhaps unnecessary design structURE OH FUCKING HELL WHAT HAVE I DONE WITH MY FUCKING LIFE WON'T THIS PAIN EVER FUCKING STOP!!!?????
