I feel for you. Last year, our a/c broke down 7 times, and everytime I felt miserable and angry. [quote] 100+ here, so quit your whining. I had my AC go out the day I got my cat. [/quote] You should never whine when you get cat. ;)
[quote] Here is where I admit that every Australian I've ever known (via JU or IRL or both) has been incredibly intelligent, witty, and wonderful. [/quote] And not only in here. Before discovering JU I used to go to 2 other sites and the Aussies in there were the same way. If it's in the water they need to bottle it and send to the U.S. Makes me want to visit even more. Hey, Maso, got a spare room? ;)
I like all 4 things you said, but I have to penalize you for number 2 (and my reasoning may be number 2 :D ). I know it's not your fault but your truck is broke down too much. With a record like that how can I be sure all the asshats will be gone? ;)
:LOL: Izzy has my vote. I think more people should vote for a candidate who spend their early years in Hawaii. ;)
[quote] They're all surprised by how well I speak, [/quote] [quote] I explained my adoration of Quijote , [/quote] [quote] This is like the fiction equivalent of the freakin' Gutenberg Bible , [/quote] You must speak Spanish very good if you conveyed your love for the book so well he broke rules to let you examine it. This time I'm not jealous one bit if anyone deserved that opportunity it's someone who has your adoration for that mast
In your Spain journals, I always love your descriptions.
Donna, I tried editing my comment but it wouldn't let me. Of course, I meant HAPPY Birthday not Nappy Birthday. I don't want you thinking I'm calling you Nappy. :D I hope you're day turned out great.
[quote] I rather think it's brilliant. [/quote] It is. [quote] Hopefully more people read this than the Crackerjacks article. [/quote] You got to have faith. ;)
Nappy Birthday, Donna! :CONGRAT:
Thanks, Zoo and Tex. [quote] One that's more famous that I stumbled upon recently (can't remember the name of the author, if I find it, I'll post it) [/quote] I think it's by Ernest Hemingway (but not 100 percent sure).
You suck, SanCho. You bitch about having writer's block then you write something this good. So yes you suck big time! ;) I tried writing a pantoum a couple of times and produced nothing but frustration. Every one came out sounding corny or amateurish. Maybe we should do a JUWC pantoum style.
[quote] We pay a flat rate of $29 per month for water alone, no matter how much or little we use, so I think $17 is a hellova deal for a family of five. [/quote] I was thinking the same thing. Tex, whatever you're doing is already working. We pay twice as much as you.
I don't think there's one single sure way for people to deal with their problems. I'm sure everybody deals with it in their own unique way. As long as they aren't making the situation worse who cares how you handle making things better. [quote] I'll be showing up more often because I do need to continue journaling my life as I know it and because I do miss JU! [/quote] We miss you, too.
[quote] Don't they just... Now, where are yours? [/quote] You know me, mate I'm always late. It's not as easy as it looks. [quote] Oops, well spotted. But you have to know, those that make the rules aren't subject to the rules. Didn't I say that already? How remiss of me. [/quote] I shouldn't say anything since min
[quote] Fully appreciate what He sees before him. [/quote] I do. Wonderful, Zoo. I really liked this very much.
SC , [quote] I'm pretty sure there's some metal song out there with that name. You know, one of those weird, scandanavian death metal bands. [/quote] The funniest thing about that is you are probably right. :) [quote] On the OP, great story, man. [/quote] Thanks, Bro.
Mark, Good stuff, mate. They leave you wanting more. [quote] But here is fair warning: if you stray beyond the word limit, you will suffer the full wrath of the Jabberwock, bwwaaaahhahahahahaa, cough, cough, ahhaahahah... ha. [/quote] [quote] It was either prison or the army [/quote] Oh oh I count 7 words. I hope nothing serious happens to you. :LOL:
Beebles, [quote] You can also do "summaries" of books too, if you're not feeling poetic or inspired. [/quote] Cool idea. Yours were good. Maybe I'll try doing movies.
[quote] *psh*...no praise for me, Al? My ego needs a little feeding from time to time y'know. [/quote] I liked them, Zoo. ;)
Since I'm a little brain dead right now I guess I'll cheat and put some here from last year, and to continue the cheating part the last story is 7 words. :D Sketch artist in gunfight Draws Fast Constipated politician Is full of sh*t. Chinese marathoner didn't finish. Hits Wall. Rock climber nearly falls. Real cliffhanger. Paris teller who retired, Left Bank. Arr
erathoniel, [quote] Major creepy. [/quote] Thanks. Tova, [quote] I second! [/quote] Come on, Mark we're waiting on ya. ;)
[quote] I WILL come to Texas for some butt kickin, UDIG? hahahahaha [/quote] :LOL: Okay okay I will do the honorable thing then, Tova. I will step up. I will step up and nominate Maso to start it. :D
[quote] So, who wants to start it? [/quote] I say Tova should start it. It was her idea to start a short short story challenge. I like the 6-word story idea. Or 7 words. Or 8 words. Or 9 words. Or even 10 words. I think I'll try all 5. :D
How incredibly thoughtful of you, Tova. I hope she can get all the frozen food before it goes bad. I think the idea of gift cards is great.
[quote] BLACK LOCUST BREATH [/quote] :D Isn't that a Jethro Tull song? ;)
