So... I'm tipsy

[Dixon Carter Lee]

I'm right about at that point when you're on the verge of deciding whether or not the evening is over.

I wish I were. I rarely feel drunk anymore.

 

[jomar]

My leads are plain, and power isn't for playing with. No ulterior motives.

Just wondering if my fellow Litizens will come through with something that truly messes with my inebriated mind.

Wishin' on Lake Woebegone,

Not suggesting there is. But you’re posting for a reaction, like many. Decide what for and own it, is all.

 

[toeskr]

Ergh. And I thought those of us who've had a little too much were the ones who lacked the proper self-awareness.

Errant on Erie,
Ellie

So now you know.

And when the hillary labia licker DCL shows up in your thread, you absolutely know who has been drinking too much.

Maybe he'll show his moobs and give his fans their clit hardons.

 

[Conager]

So do I (random fun link)

Airborne in the Atmosphere,
Ellie

Are any of us who we were when we were what we were then?

It's odd, hindsight. Earnestness that seemed important fades in time leaving one befuddled with bemused indifference. Who was I wanting to be, and why?

I wish I were. I rarely feel drunk anymore.

Put the bottle down and back away slowly...

then rush towards it and take a shot!

'Cause really, if you're there, then nothing I could say one way or another would make a difference. It's all yer own personal threshold n'all. We've all got to figure out our own BS.

But seriously, it's good to see you DCL. Made the thread, really.

Not suggesting there is. But you’re posting for a reaction, like many. Decide what for and own it, is all.

And I did, and stated it explicitly.

So mess with me, jomar!

So now you know.

And when the hillary labia licker DCL shows up in your thread...

I should be so lucky. And.... I was! Not what I was looking for, but what a welcome event regardless. DCL is a class act. And believe it not (as you sound like one stung by experience with him in political threads), a somewhat reasonable individual when you drop pretensions.

Not quite messing with me yet.

What's the difference between earnestness and honesty?

Riddle me that, Batman.

[Conager]

Hmmm. . .

Earnestness is a sales pitch. To oneself, first of all.

One can be earnest and wrong, or disinterested whilst honest.

Hemming with Hemmingway in Havana,

Him.

One cannot be stung by a drone that has lost its stinger.

Still protecting the hive though.

Doesn't know that it is dead yet.

 

[RobDownSouth]

Oh my.
Ellie's back.
Pon-Farr Already?
Has yet another 7 year cycle drawn to a close?

Hemingway is overrated.

Erm-hrm.

Yeah, I get it. I just don't see the point. Sooo...

Here ya go

Oh, puh-leeze. My cycles are way more haphazard than that. True, I may strive for a zen-like Vulcan regularity, but am still far too impulsive.

And fortunately for you, much more frequent.

I'll say!

If only you'd told me that before, Jack.

Experience is gained by failures.

 

[Conager]

My 'read' on Hemingway is like the way Tarantino cuts a movie. It's a collection of quotes, commentariat, and whole passages lifted that I am never sure where I read it.

All that I learned from my "Hemmingway" period was don't dress better than your surroundings if you don't want to look like a fugitive. I got three pages deep and salvaged only the opening line, which I already had before making the attempt.

I like the idea of Hemmingway more than Hemmingway.

Ok, I got it. You have nothing to offer other than riding the fence, trying to protect your old alliances even though you despise what they represent now while trying to be the board sweetie in Sweetwater.

Sweet?

Ugh. I'd hate to see what you think of as flippant.

As for riding fences...

Deal. I'm honest about how I view things, and yet I manage the apparently Herculean task of not thinking the worst of people who view things differently, and don't feel the need to sneer at them 24/7.

And frankly, that's the one aspect of my outlook that I most wish more people would adopt.

If you don't care for that, well... that's your deal, not mine.

Seeing through you in seawater.

You are pretty sweet. But don't try to sweep in pretending you lean one way whilst trying to keep the ancient gb alliances intact.

Either I'm sobering up, or you're getting drunker.

Because I can't understand what you're talking about.

I come here sporadically at best. A few times a year maybe. And in the course of those rare visits, according to you, I'm busy keeping ancient GB "alliances" intact.

What freakin' alliances? What are these alliances supposedly for? Am I secretly spearheading a plot to take over Lit or something? Or are you really entertaining the fantasy that because I've made friends here over the years, and that I treat them like friends when I come by, it means I'm being subversive?

Dude, you need to take a break from the GB.

Mehbe you should come back sober.

We'll talk about it.

If you can't see your ass kissing of a dolt, how can we help you when you end up in holt?

Fuck, this trying to rhyme with places is tedious.

Just like trying to help a conservative boomer recognize she is sucking the balls of an even older boomer that would sell his soul to suck hillary's labia.

 

[SpeareChucker]

I'm right about at that point when you're on the verge of deciding whether or not the evening is over. Another few sips of pinot and it's time to do the luxury shower, see that everything in the house is tended to and then tuck in with a book (or favorite site) until you fade away into a slumberous stupor that ultimately results in waking with a lock of hair soaking in your unattractively gaping maw, or...

you get a wild hair and post a thread on Lit wondering what would happen if you ask people to mess with you.

Well... I guess that answers that.

I could get interested if she was in her panties holding a wine glass and running her other thumb around the inside of her waistband.

Sorry I missed ya Ellie.

Elle oh Elle Ellie!

While I...nay, the entire board!........am pleasantly surprised that your rutting schedule now exceeds the once-every-7-years cycle you were stuck in for so long, I am aghast that you admit so publicly. Do you realize what sort of pressure this put on the other celibates, near-celibates and incels on the General Board? I mean, we see what that has done to poor Toeskr already!

But I won't be petty. I'm glad you found someone to swap bodily fluids with on a semi-regular basis. I wish you happiness and sincerely hope your new partner is able to locate your g-spot soon.
