Ms. Penguin - 7 Yrs On WDC says "I don't know if I like the idea of people being able to see me coming from that far away. *nuzzles Grum*" bumblegrum (aka Grum) says "Pats Pengy on the head and moves closer" Ms. Penguin - 7 Yrs On WDC says "*snuggles*" bumblegrum (aka Grum) says "Hmm, the ante is being upped. What comes after "snuggles", one wonders, even between penguins. I have a number of suggestions, but this is a 13+ family show, and I have to be circumspect." Ms. Penguin - 7 Yrs On WDC says "Let's just say, if we keep snuggling we'll have to move to a higher rated In & Out. *wicked grin*" bumblegrum (aka Grum) says "I think we'd better pack up our nuzzles and move to In& Outs UnanimousAnonymous. They're much more open to snuggling there " Ms. Penguin - 7 Yrs On WDC says "Yes, the owner of that In & Out is completely insane. But, cool. She's very cool. hehe" Princess♥WearsPurple says "oh my GOODNESS what IS GOING ON IN HERE?  " bumblegrum (aka Grum) says "Goodness, my dear Princess, has NOTHING to do with it " Ms. Penguin - 7 Yrs On WDC says "Goodness? Goodness? What's that? I refuse to behave. I'd much rather have fun!" Ms. Penguin - 7 Yrs On WDC says "*attempts to teach herself to juggle*" bumblegrum (aka Grum) says "What're you trying to juggle, Ms P? Your finances? Always more tricky than trying to keep three balls in the air at the same time - or three guys on a string " Ms. Penguin - 7 Yrs On WDC says "Actually, juggling men is easy. Juggling finances is definitely the most difficult. I can't juggle anything else, but I was bored and thought I'd try. Didn't work well." bumblegrum (aka Grum) says "Ho ho (oh stop that Grum, you'll get into trouble) Ha ha so you like to juggle men do you? You naughty penguin, think of all those poor guys eating their hearts out. Very messy - too much blood " Dad says "I left trying to figure out how our little Pengy has the strength to throw three guys into the air simutaneously." bumblegrum (aka Grum) says "Well, they were only little guys, and Pengy's had a lot of practice keeping guys in suspense!" Dad says "I thought that was suspension" bumblegrum (aka Grum) says "Hmm, yes, you may be right. Okay, Pengy, where are you? If you don't get here to defend yourself, Dad and I will just spend our time making defamatory comments about you " Ms. Penguin - 7 Yrs On WDC says "I see how you guys are...talking about me behind my back! For the record, I don't try to throw people in the air. My back couldn't take it. " bumblegrum (aka Grum) says "Let me check - 13+. Okay, I shall forego a more colourful response; Yoda is supposed to have said, "Do or do not, there is no "try"". So when was the last time you actually did throw a guy into the air, Ms P? Would a back massage help?" Ms. Penguin - 7 Yrs On WDC says "Oooh, yes. I never turn down a back massage. I've never attempted to throw a guy in the air. I doubt I could lift anyone off the ground." Dad says "What? I weigh only 210 pounds. And I'm sure that BBG weighs no more the 350, 400 tops." bumblegrum (aka Grum) says "You Americans, still measuring weight in pounds. Quick calculation says I am around 275 pounds - but I've got the height to go with it - at least that's my excuse! (4' 3" )" Ms. Penguin - 7 Yrs On WDC says "Well, since we're all being so honest, I'm about 240 pounds right now. At my heaviest I was 290 so I'm going in the right direction. Still have quite a ways to go. I definitely can't lift you guys, sorry. My upper body strength is terrible." Ms. Penguin - 7 Yrs On WDC says "I might be able to lift you an inch or 2 off the ground with my legs, however." bumblegrum (aka Grum) says "Now THAT is an image I find hard to get out of my mind. Just tell me the time and place, Ms P (and I was grossly dishonest about my height, just in case you wondered)." Ms. Penguin - 7 Yrs On WDC says "LOL...I know better than to believe anything you guys say. " bumblegrum (aka Grum) says "Totally devastated. She doesn't believe what I say - so if I make flattering comments (that's as far as I'll go at 13+) you're not going to accept my veracity? Oh the shame of it, the shame. How shall I ever recover? " catty says "With a gin and tonic? I love that there are a few more than just Pengy, Dad and me writing here! *sigh* It's been so long!!" Ms. Penguin - 7 Yrs On WDC says "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. I'll believe anything you say, as long as I find it complimentary, I promise!" Dad says "Then there was the guy who said, "I always lie. I never ever tell the truth. You cannot trust one single thing I say." If he's lying, he's telling the truth. If he's telling the truth, he's lying. My head exploded as I tried to figure that out." bumblegrum (aka Grum) says "Oh yes, In & Outs like this attract all sorts of undesirables ( he said blushing). Anything complimentary, ho ho (no, that's not complimentary, start again, Grum) let's see, what sounds complimentary but isn't. NB, this is a deliberate trick to catch Ms P" Ms. Penguin - 7 Yrs On WDC says "What are you going to do with me when you catch me?" bumblegrum (aka Grum) says "Yes, we're still in 13+ country, aren't we. Well, for starters, we might try a little chaste lingual exploration Take this to In & Out Addicts Unanimous Anonymous if you want to take it further." Ms. Penguin - 7 Yrs On WDC says "I'll meet you there!" bumblegrum (aka Grum) says "Grrrrwwwll!! " Ms. Penguin - 7 Yrs On WDC says "Anyone got an aspirin?" Dad says "I'll sell you 1 for $10," bumblegrum (aka Grum) says "Stick with paracetamol, my dear (no, not you, Dad). Much safer." Ms. Penguin - 7 Yrs On WDC says "What is paracetamol? Is it like acetaminophen? I like ibuprofen. My headache disappeared hours ago, so it's ok, right?" bumblegrum (aka Grum) says "Yes, the USA calls it acetaminophen, but it's the same thing. Go easy on the ibuprofen - the list of side-effects is extensive. But I'm glad the headache's gone - now you can get back to some serious partying - on a nearby ice-flow" Ms. Penguin - 7 Yrs On WDC says "No hangover today! Tired though. What on earth possessed me to stay up so late when I had to work at 9 AM?" Dad says "The devil? Lunacy? That cute guy at the end of the bar? That cute girl at the end of the bar? You'll have to tell us. We don't know." bumblegrum (aka Grum) says "Yes, I'd like to know that too, Dad. But I suspect it's something boring like, having a good time and forgot (on purpose, maybe ) to look at the clock. Been there, done that, got the T shirt." Ms. Penguin - 7 Yrs On WDC says "Did I post that yesterday morning? I must have, because I work at 10 AM on Sundays. Oh yeah, Matt and Tami talked me into going to the Midway with them after bar time in Minnesota. Got home around 3 AM. Crazy. But, we had fun." Princess♥WearsPurple says "Time goes by so much more quickly when you're with your fiancee, I wonder why that is...  " Ms. Penguin - 7 Yrs On WDC says "Because you're happy! I'm so glad you're happy." Princess♥WearsPurple says "That was not actually all of my answer, but oh right, I made this 13+... *coughs*" catty says "*chokes* Erm, I have quite an imagination. *censored*" Ms. Penguin - 7 Yrs On WDC says "Censorship sucks, you should just increase the rating. " bumblegrum (aka Grum) says "Censorship sucks, you should just increase your imagination. Until it explodes in a rainbow of unearthly delights. Or something like that." Ms. Penguin - 7 Yrs On WDC says "Wow, I want to watch exploding imaginations! That sounds amazing!" Princess♥WearsPurple says "...That sounds lovely. But I am slightly distracted at the moment because I am getting married tomorrow. {e:bounces excitedly}" Ms. Penguin - 7 Yrs On WDC says "OOooh, Congratulations! *throws rice*" Princess♥WearsPurple says "{e:dodges rice} Be careful with that stuff, you'll put someone's eye out! But thank you. " Ms. Penguin - 7 Yrs On WDC says "Sorry, got a little over zealous. *drops rice* I'm very happy for you!" Dad says "Congratulations Princess! I'm very happy for you. I've loved being married. Mom & I celebrate 28 years this June. (Good God I'm getting old!) I knew a guy who liked being married so much, he did it 4 times. (Not at the same time, mind you!)" Ms. Penguin - 7 Yrs On WDC says "I doubt I'll do it again. But, then, I once said I'd never do it in the first place, so goes to show how much I know." Dad says "Don't worry, Pengy. Someday, you'll find the right guy. 'Course, he'll already be married, but you can't have EVERYTHING, can you?" bumblegrum (aka Grum) says "Congratulations, Princess - no dates in the In & Out but by now the knot is probably tied. My wife and I will make 45 years in July, so it is possible, with a lot of hard work (My God, I AM old). Try not to be like Mickey Rooney and make a habit of it." bumblegrum (aka Grum) says "The ice flow is melting, the ice floe is melting. Quick everybody, kick back as hard as you can - our home is in Jeopardy - that's Jeopardy AK, not Jeopardy UT, a quite different kettle of fish (Mmmm, fish)" Ms. Penguin - 7 Yrs On WDC says "*kicks hard* OW! Please pass me a fish." Dad says "The floe is in Jeopardy? COOL! I'll take World Geograpy for $200, Alex!" Ms. Penguin - 7 Yrs On WDC says "I suck at geography. " bumblegrum (aka Grum) says "You suck at ...? Oh, yeah, right, geography. Mm would you like to phone a friend? Or take 50/50?" Dad says "Let's get the answer first, then I'll see if I need any help getting the question. As for phoning a friend, maybe I oughta get one, first. " Ms. Penguin - 7 Yrs On WDC says "So, you're saying we're not your friends?" bumblegrum (aka Grum) says "No, he's saying he ought to get a phone. Dad still relies on two empty cans joined by a piece of string" Ms. Penguin - 7 Yrs On WDC says "That must require a heck of a lot of string." Dad says "You mean there's a new-fangled type of phone? Do tell! Do they use magic to work, like the cans do?" Ms. Penguin - 7 Yrs On WDC says "Yes, they use magic to work. How else would they work?" bumblegrum (aka Grum) says "Yeah, but sometimes the magic doesn't quite work. You MUST get the spells absolutely right, or they will give you the finger and refuse to communicate." Dad says "Sorta like the magic in my computer. I think computers are marvelous creations. They do exactly what you tell them to do, regardless of what you actually want!" Ms. Penguin - 7 Yrs On WDC says "My old desktop computer at home has turned evil. It refuses to read CDs and DVDs for some reason. I tried all the troubleshooting and the computer insists the drive is working correctly...but it isn't. Stupid thing." bumblegrum (aka Grum) says "Try www.techguy.org You can (sometimes) get some good advice from geek/gurus who inhabit the site. A similar service exists in the forums of www.techsupportforum.com ." Ms. Penguin - 7 Yrs On WDC says "Thanks, Grum. I'll check those out. " Dad says "They may be good, but generally I find that free advice is worth every cent you spent on it. Unless, of course, you get free advice from Dad." bumblegrum (aka Grum) says "Or free advice from me. Always reliable, provided I make damn sure that it can't be traced back to me. Still advice from experts can be useful; for instance, there are a number of pieces of advice I would trust from Ms P." Ms. Penguin - 7 Yrs On WDC says "Oh? Like what? " bumblegrum (aka Grum) says "Hmm, well, this is rated 13+, so I'll have to tiptoe around the real questions. But I might enquire how to keep going for five or six days on the trot with limited sleep?" Ms. Penguin - 7 Yrs On WDC says "I'm not sure how I do that, actually. I'm probably insane." bumblegrum (aka Grum) says "While sanity is not only possible but also probable, insanity is not impossible bt highly improbable. I'll just pop out for a coffee while you work that one out." catty says "Make it ice water and you have a deal..." bumblegrum (aka Grum) says "Ice water delicately flavoured with essence of codfish. Yum (or yuck, according to taste)." bumblegrum (aka Grum) says "Alright, youse penguins, stop flippering around in the water and pay SOME attention to the plight of this In&Out. The Princess would be very upset at the lack of action, and the last thing we want is an upset princess." Dad says "Well, that depends. Maybe if we upset the princess into the apple cart, she'd be highly angry. However, if we upset her into a fish monger's cart, on the other hand....................." bumblegrum (aka Grum) says "she'd wheel her wheelbarrer through streets broad and narrer, crying "fur seals and penguins alive alive -O"" Ms. Penguin - 7 Yrs On WDC says "*waddles in and looks around, confused* What the heck is going on in here?" Dad says "*Throws Pengy a fish* Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Move along, nothing to see here." bumblegrum (aka Grum) says "Help, help, the ice floe is melting. Don't care if it is global warming, I'm about to be penguin-a-pulted into the Southern Ocean; all the cats are long gone. Quick, quick, someone rescue me - glub, glub. " Dad says "*throws BBG a life ring, with rop attached. Throws rope, too*" bumblegrum (aka Grum) says "Oh yes, the helpful type. Still, the life ring will allow me to float while I wait for a passing walrus. They're always very co-operative and I can hitch a lift back to the ice. Mmmmm - ice " Dad says "Oh, fine. Always want everything your way. Fine. *throws another lifering, this time leaving the rope on the icefloe. Refuses to pick up said rope*" bumblegrum (aka Grum) says "But, mirabile dictu (about the only Latin tag I remember from 4 years of studying Latin at school), the rope froze into the ice, giving me an anchor with which to haul myself back onto the floe. Safe at last " Dad says "Watch him take all the credit, and give no credit to me, who, after all, threw him two, yes, two, liferings." bumblegrum (aka Grum) says "Yeah, right - someone who would throw a drowning man both ends of the rope! Nice one, Dad " Dad says "I threw you a rope. Just because I acted like Steve doesn't make me a bad guy. Steve doesn't this he's a bad guy. There's my proof. *Good Lord, I'm defending myself by comparing myself to STEVE? Where the hall has my sanity gone?*" catty says "To hell in an Ice Floe? The handbasket sank, just like the Titanic, by the way, did anyone catch the license of that last freighter that went by here? He left a huge wake and this is definately a no-wake zone. Definately." bumblegrum (aka Grum) says "Such a pity that catty can't spell. Still, I suppose that claws definitely get in the way of opening a dictionary. The freighter was a G class interstellar freighter with a crew of 16 headed for the Andromeda nebula with a cargo of cheap tin trays." Dad says "Don't worry about your lack of spelling ability. I hear Dad can't spell wirth a shit either." Total Displayed: 100 |
