From: Little Hawk Turns out he was back between the wall and the sofa...just like the old potato chips...a bit dusty and disheveled, but still not spoiled. So now he is definitely found, he has been recovered, no question about it whatsoever. His whereabouts are now crystal clear. His location is known. His coordinates are in the log book. He is no longer lost. This means we can put that other fecking thread to rest, okay? Thank you very much. ;-) |

From: Amos LH: How does it come to pass, do you think, that by postulating an imaginary event you can thus decree a whole conversation of enjoyment to others be ended? If you wish no more exposure to the Miccas Lost thread, I urge you to do as I have done, and direct your attention elsewhere. To instead resort to using your energy to try and nullify the activity is quite beneath you, sirrah. A |

27 Nov 07 - 02:25 PM (#2203303) Subject: RE: BS: Micca found!!!! From: Little Hawk Are you getting all serious on me again, Amos? If so, I must remind you that the public embarrassment...or may I even say consternation...that is being caused daily by your dogged insistence on clinging to outdated methods of dress, coiffure, dialogue, and general personal deportment is creating distress throughout the entire municipality you live in, and it is time for a change! For God's sake, get a lifestyle coach and put matters right. Heed my advice on this one. That's what friends are for...they're there to make you aware of these things when others will not. ;-) |

How do you differentiate between friends, then, and the goofballs who carp and criticize in a desperate effort to gain some imaginary personal advantage? Of course, I may be asking thew wrong person. Perhaps Micca would know. Where is he, anyway? A |

27 Nov 07 - 09:33 PM (#2203630) Subject: RE: BS: Micca found!!!! From: Little Hawk Where is he???? I told you, Amos! He's behind the damn couch! Well, at least he was there until we discovered him. He's now in the ready room being dusted off, steam-cleaned, de-loused, immunized, and debriefed. In that order. We should be able to wrap this thing up by tomorrow morning, I think, if the eyebrow repairs hold up. Seems there were some moths back there... "How do you differentiate between friends, then, and the goofballs who carp and criticize in a desperate effort to gain some imaginary personal advantage?" Huh? I don't find it hard to do that at all. Do you? Look, man, I just consult the official program, whaddya think??? It's a snap. Goofballs are on the left side of the page, friends on the right, goofballs are in paisley italicised font, friends are in rich royal blue bolded script. Geez, I think those longrunning political threads you spawned have gotten to your brain, old buddy, or you wouldn't ask me such bloody obvious questions. |

28 Nov 07 - 10:38 AM (#2203882) Subject: RE: BS: Micca found!!!! From: Little Hawk WHAT???? That's a pretty serious allegation, Bill! I hope you can document it exhaustively. I want a fully documented response in triplicate with every piece of evidence hotlinked to an unimpeachable source on the Internet. I want at least 800 factual words on the matter, along with stats and photos! Substantive and undeniable evidence, Bill, that's what I must have from you if I am to place any credence in anything you say from this point on!!! Where are your facts?!! Ha! You don't have any, do you? Ha! Face turning a bit red now, Bill? Ha! Got you squirming now, don't I? (Teribus and Don Firth would ask no less than this of you, right?) ;-) |

28 Nov 07 - 11:51 AM (#2203937) Subject: RE: BS: Micca found!!!! From: SINSULL That was at the Getaway years ago. He now understands the American squeamishness about naked bodies and appears "cum briefs". Now if we could only convince him to add more. A definite Brit thing - I have had a number of them wandering around in mixed company wearing only a towel. They will drop it upon request - as Jeri discovered. So...whose couch is Micca behind? |

28 Nov 07 - 12:27 PM (#2203965) Subject: RE: BS: Micca found!!!! From: Little Hawk That was an unfortunate choice of words, wasn't it? I too have been puzzled for years by the penchant of many British men for wandering casually into the den, the front hallway, the kitchen, the front sidewalk, or the local smoke shop around the corner from their residence, dressed only in a pair of tatty old briefs. They seem to feel that it's quite normal to do that if one is off work at the time and merely engaged in running a brief errand...not planning to stay long, in other words. They can't see the point of throwing a bunch of outer clothing on if one is not actually formally "visiting" someone or intending to stay for more than a minute or two, as it just uses up valuable time and energy to do so, and what would be the point of it all, really? ;-) |

28 Nov 07 - 04:52 PM (#2204183) Subject: RE: BS: Micca found!!!! From: Liz the Squeak Personally, I find it very offensive to be referred to as 'the wife', as if I were the table, the chair, the bit of mud on the carpet... The only time I heard Manitas introduce me as 'the wife' it earned him a slap upside the head. I didn't introduce him as 'the old man' so I should be afforded the same respect. I know I refer to Limpit as 'the child' but I never introduce her that way. Besides, she likes it. She's weird. LTS |
