Today I was spooked by the ringing of a malicious sounding pay phone which was set in the wall of an empty hallway, on an empty floor of an almost deserted building.
That and the appearance of a strange looking man — in a bowtie carrying some kind of top hat — whose footsteps descended upon me only seconds before he did, and who looked at the ringing phone as we passed and said “don’t answer that it’s not worth the risk” as he disappeared into the stairwell at the other end of the hall.
Be still my shivering spine.
I was in the middle lane of a three lane highway when all of a sudden two state police cars were surrounding the car in front of me lights on sirens blaring and — I kid you not — rifles pointing bilaterally at the car pulling it over. Scared the be — jesus out of me; those cops could have shot me.
The Prattler tells it like it is today or was it this weekend. Not sure.
Legalizing Marijuana — A New Republican Strategy ?
I’ve said before life is life, computer is computer I often can’t do both.
True Dat our world is shrinking.
This guy makes a valid point when he askes how many people you would trust with a picture of you in a compromising position.
It seems there should be several people with whom we feel safe sharing our most vile and provacative selves.
It turns out, I suppose, that after you get over that first irritation, after you shed your shell of “they listen to different music because they wouldn’t understand mine” superiority, there’s a sort of comfort in needing other people and being needed on a level that goes beyond common interests. It turns out humans are social animals after all.
And that ability to suffer fools, to tolerate annoyance, that’s literally the one single thing that makes you a human being, that allows you to function in a world populated by other people who aren’t you. Otherwise, you turn into a goth. Science has proven it.
I want someone I can trust with those nude photos.
I am doing my blog homework it’s just that the dog ate the first copies and then I got a fever of 104 and the lightening happened. I promise I’ll have them by the end of the week.
Lieberman/ Lamont — be there or be square.

Lamont, Lieberman, Lieberman, Lamont – it’s all getting too much for me
The legalize marijuana article was the height of fearfulness. Doug’s post was his best, and that is saying much
Feel better Cooper, and don’t worry about blog homework. You have the highest score anyway
The dawn of Alice Noir. ‘Bout time.
Don’t scare me.
I think it is dangerous if people do not fins a balance of some kind.
I have no opinion on marijuana, legalized or otherwise. I’ve never used it, and I don’t plan to, but I can see the benefits. Oh well.
I don’t think you can trust me with the nude pictures. But you can try :)
I just don’t see the point of distributing compromising photos. By establishing oneself to be trustworthy with such things, one increases the chances of access to more pictures. It’s hardly rocket science
Lol…don’t trust anyone with nude photos…let them figure out how to digitally manipulate layers in PhotoShop to create their own “fake” nudes to sell online… :D
As for the strange payphone incident…damned creepy.
Seriously. I first read that ‘graph and was listening to Tom Waits’ What’s He Building? (Track 8 off Mule Variations, FYItunes downloading pleasure) simultaneously.
Creepy.
Someone who can be trusted with nude photos? That’s the new litmus test?
I can just see it now…SWF seeks SWM, tall, financially secure, who can be
trusted with really explicit nude photos of me.
Pia: I loved that prattler post. Lieberman/Lamont — well we will know soon.
Doug: Alice Noir.….Like that.
johnm balance is everything they tell me. i wouldn’t know.
coyote: Well lucky you I didn’t ask. Everyone should have a few people to confide in though, people they trust with their life and their pictures.
Wombat: exactly.
Jason: Well it taught me not to go wandering around old buildings just to look at the architecture. I mean really the building is being redone, and the only offices are on the sixth floor the rest of the building is empty; I was on the fourth or third floor looking around on my way out. I would hope they get those damn pay phones out soon.….
I’ll have to check out that tune
dedd: a new litmus test…we certainly need another one of those.
That misery article was brilliant. Thanks for finding it for us. By the way, you can trust me with your photos. I won’t post them.
So given that point of understanding can I be trusted?
Wow, that article was really well thought-out and written. I actually have a new appreciation for people who post on the internet.
The thing is I don’t think I’d even trust myself with nude photos of myself.
I guess I am not as attentive a friend as I would like to be… have been reading you, thought I commented but *GASP* where are those comments dammit! Know you do not expect them but I do for when I like something and am somewhat OCDish then posts are NOT to be missed! Dios mio!
Loved your choice of outfit… would borrow it from you FO SHO!
I used to have a job that was from 9 to 7pm… I would be done by 3 and the others would drag out their work, really do nothing and what I did by 3 they would do in one entire week… not one to waste time I would take off at 3, when I was done. Screw them… Sad thing? I never got caught! Huh.
You painted that? Beautiful!
Yeah, don’t like memes either but for Wombat? Will do it for sure!
Loverboy had that happen to him when a cop car cut in front of him and cops ran out, guns pointing at the perp, or whatever… probably Russian drug dealers… He even closed the car door for the cop, at the cop’s request, so the other cars could drive by…
Nude photos… yeah… Loverboy has been good with them and the only one to get away with that ever happening… don’t know if there will be a repeat so he’d better hold on tight…
Oy…
Malevolant Pay Phones, I love it.
The dog used to eat all my homework too. Don’t feel bad.
Thanks for the links.
It is important to have a few really good friends.
And a dog.
I guess I should write all the Prattler posts half-asleep and in a hurry. Thanks, Pia and Coop.
I saw that Lieb lost. I wonder what other changes are going to occur, say, around November. Somthing good might happen.
I’m a big tough guy.
But even I’m creeped out by guys with top hats.
Maybe they’d be a good person to keep my incriminating evidence though. Since no one will ever approach them to ask about what they’re hiding…
inde: I thought so.
Wombat: That remains to be seen.
mojo: lol — yes every so often you find things on the interner that make you go..oh so this iswhy I keep reading.
mizzy bohem: I do that all the time. sometimes one must just read is all there is to it.
jacob: pay phones in and of themselves are bad add that to the scenario and a girls imagination goes wild.
Dawg: i think so if that is the case…which i doubt it was too perfect.
Dan: what is it about those things that is so creepy?
