Things That Go Bumping In The Night
"There are some mildly scary movies that are okay to watch... The Birds...The Sixth Sense" Oops, sorry Fishikins. Missed that ;)— October 1, 2009 3:25 p.m.
There's No Cheating In Scrabble

russl and Fish clearly asked about their rights: "(#16) What happened, SD? Which thread -- this one? Whose comment? What changed? I missed it, whatever happened." "What happened, did nan's comments get pulled? :(" Between comments 8 and 9, you'll notice a GIANT gap that makes no sense. Therein took place the most ridiculous conversation, in which nan proposed a fictional blog about a tryst with Penn and Teller. I made a joke that was quite tame, and spoke in terms of what I "IMAGINED" might happen in her fictional tryst. They even removed her posting that just gave an image of Penn running down the beach. No language, nothing a teen couldn't read. Hic-Sob. PP was right! The Reader has been taken over by a large Chinese corporation!— October 1, 2009 2:24 p.m.

Fishikins lisped "Zyzzyva." Are proper names allowed? There is the town of "Zyzyx."— October 1, 2009 3:31 a.m.

refried protested: "I mean, really, who uses words like "aa" and "tranq"?" Me, all the time. I'd play you too refried, as long as one handicap is added to the rules: you may not use the words "ostensibly" or "nebulous." :)— October 1, 2009 3:29 a.m.

PS: More censorship, now some harmless references to sexuality bantered about with nan! Lame beyond lame, Reader!— October 1, 2009 3:27 a.m.
Soon There Won't Be a Barrio Logan
rickeysays, you've got to be kidding. Goes down like buttah! This is a great paragraph: "Dave and Tennessee and I stand in the dark on National Avenue, by 16th Street, right where the barrio begins. The rosy clouds that were hanging over the trolley clock tower and Petco Park have been swallowed up by the night. All you see of the homeless people across the road are silhouettes moving around inside bivouacs, flashlights turned orange and blue by the tent fabrics. The laughs and rebel calls and arguments of dusk have subsided."— October 1, 2009 3:04 a.m.
See you next year, September
refried mused: "otherwise one is left with only the essence to define such an object...It would have made for one hell of a Monty Python skit" Surely, it has! We can think of one, Pike?— October 1, 2009 2:37 a.m.
See you next year, September
Essence is yes "THE" thing, refried. I shall go smoke a cig, and return. Hopefully you will still be here to talk about the naivete of essence :)— October 1, 2009 2:34 a.m.
See you next year, September
Dude, do not speak of essence here! Instead, speak about harshing mellows :)— October 1, 2009 2:15 a.m.
