Newbie query... Nick and pen name issue

[Rumple Foreskin]

Recipient of my reply to "How damp are they" opens the mail and...

BANG!!!

DP,

Peace, sister. Make love not war. Can't we all just get along - and give peace a chance? Let the age of aquarius dawn. 'Cause, all we need is love. (Now where the hell did I pack away that lava lamp and all those old love beads?)

R (giving you the peace sign) F

 

[Jenny _S]

Uh oh. Is Rumple Foreskin breaking out in the sixties? Day-Glow, Ring Sandles, Flowered Shirts, Buffalo Springfield, Height-Ashbury.... OMG!

Ewwww.

 

[Rumple Foreskin]

Ah, rifles.

Rumple, most heartfelt apologies for the medication comment. I've only just caught up.

No sweat, raphy. I'm the one who started all that by teasing Perdita about Medi being off his Ritalin. The apology was a nice gesture to an aging Boomer having to choose between his anti-depressant and Viagra but it wasn't needed.

No sweat, raphy. ...

I read that as No, sweet raphy. Just thought you'd want to know.

Maybe, "No perspiration, raphy?"

As for his glucose level, that's something others will have to ascertain. A guy who dresses the way he does is obviously way out of my league.

Precipitation? Of course raphy wouldn't do THAT on the Lit boards.

But why else is he facing the wall?

FYI, Raff's out of anyone's league, but in mine.

[gauchecritic]

from Perdita:
How about allegra bra? Happy, like mine.

Of course your bra is happy, it's snuggled up to you.

-FF (I like lorrilove's bra, too.)

"And I know how happy his clothes must be
That's how I feel when he's close to me"

Angus,

You'll find it happens a lot of the time, your thread being taken over, but it really is usually only after a number of people think it's run it's natural course.

You can start another or you can try tempting posters back to serious subjects in the same thread. It's just something you've got to live with. It's an unwritten rule.

Starting an "Exercise" thread or similar gives you a certain 'captaincy' otherwise you have to bully and cajole to keep any thread on track.

Don't sweat it. Hijacking and rudeness are par for the course.

Gauche

 

[Guest]

Angus, I find the gun-talk boring and a bit self-involved in all its exactitude attitude but just scroll past it (it crops up rather regularly when the slightest opening occurs).

A small note: Someone corrected your spelling of 'whoa'; I thought that very rude.

Gauche is right and I hope you stick around, you seem interesting and a good chat already.

best regards, Perdita

Dear Angus,
Insertion of prolonged discussions of Wagnerian opera and Venice Beach are, however, perfectly appropriate and encouraged.
MG

 

[Guest]

Quite the wit, MG. I'd wager my Wagnerian/Venetian posts are outranked by your shoots-from-hip (but then I don't wager).

Tooshayingly, Perdita

 

[ffreak]

Say something Angus, don't let us run you off with our untimely chatter (isn't that the same as timeless?)

Besides, we need new material all the time.

-FF (waiting with baited breath, looking for the Altoids)

ps. don't expect sense here - dollars either.

 

[Guest]

Eff, not being rude as you're awfully experienced - it's bated.

Can't help it, Perdita


Yes, Angus, please check in. Stomp us out.

cordially, Perdita

 

[ffreak]

Sorry, P, just had the image of gefelte fish in mind while typing. Brain is in charge of spelling, not fingers. Wish it would keep up it's end. Hard to do though in such an arousing forum.

Perdita (who loves the arse but pines for the boots too)

'dita, you're swelling my ego..

FYI, not sure about sweet, but no perspiration Raphy, that's for sure.. I don't sweat much, it's an oriental thing.

Precipitation, no - hehe. Really, we do have indoor bathrooms in the west of England.

Eff - I suppose you *could* conceivably bait your breath with something.. Isn't that what mint spray is for?

Raph, quizzically.

Eff, that reads rather contradictorally to this woman. Hope your brain is at least in charge of your fingers.

Perdita

 

[Guest]

'dita, you're swelling my ego.

Is that all, or is that a metaphor in your jock strap?

naughty this mid-morn, 'dita

 

[ffreak]

Perdita, it all depends on what my fingers come into contact with.

Soft, smooth, warmth that transforms upon touch into something else can cause a delegation of rational functionality to parts of the body that can get a better grasp of what's going on.

-FF (amazing that we have language rules stating that it is not good form to end with a beginning)

ps. Right on baby.

Nope, Jas. Joyce broke that rule, so did Julio Cortázar (read his Hopscotch*, easier and shorter than 'the Wake'; really a masterpiece).

right on forever, Perdita

*It's a brilliant work. He directs the reader who wants a conventional story to read chapters 1 through 54 (can't recall the actual nos.), or begin with chapter X and next go to the chapter printed at the end, e.g., you hopscotch back and forth through the book. BTW, Cortázar is Argentinian; Spanish writers (outside of Spain) are still sorely neglected but for a few best seller types.

Dear Perdita,
I accept ff's "baited" as written. If his breath smells like rotten sardines one might put on a fish hook, it would definitely be "baited."
Arbitrarily,
MG
Ps. I'm not being rude as you are AWFULLY experienced.

Bet it would be a real challenge to record an audio version.

Dear Rumple,
Be careful what you write on this thread. It may be considered sidetracking, trite, and self involved.
Egocentrically,
MG

Oh, Rumply, are you pulling my leg? That's not metaphorical, but 'hopscotch' is. A narrator would simply follow the directions.

you're a fine lurker, old man, Perdita

 

[Guest]

p.s. to MG: how long do you hold a grudge. I let 'em go like dull men.
