I was thinking of typing something stream of consciousness, the first words that pop into my head, so here goes:

stream of consciousness.

OK, that didn't work so well. I'm thinking too much about the whole stream of consciousness thing and not something else. Wait! Somethings coming through. Here goes:

stream of consciousness.

Aw *$&^! Missed it. This is going to take some time.;)

richlevy 09-16-2007 09:27 AM

Got it!

Cloud 09-16-2007 09:30 AM

interesting that you mentioned that stream of conciousness thing, Rich. I've been trying to do "morning pages" a la The Artists Way (by Julia Cameron). The idea is to write 3 pages in the morning of -- whatever -- as a type of mediative exercise. A brain dump of negative bits and pieces floating around. Supposed to free up one's creativity.

My feet are really really reaaaaalllly sore!!

One should wear sensible shoes when spending the day shopping.....or harden up and work through the pain.

8hrs shopping in stilettos (they looked great with my outfit :)) and now I have to tart up again for a nite on the town in Melbourne.....THEN, I have to heel up again for the Melbourne Show (Fair?? but huge??) tomorrow.

IMHO, comfort should be top priority when dressing. If your stilettos hurt, don't wear them. Wear sneakers with your dress if you have to.

Even if you look great in your clothes, be comfortable; that's the most important thing.

DucksNuts 09-22-2007 06:34 AM

Ohhhh, pffff, you be such a boy Drax!!!

You HAVE to chose sexy over comfort...every.damn.time ;)

Ohh now, my feet already.

Drax 09-22-2007 06:39 AM

Whatever floats yer boat. ;)

Hey? Am I the only person working on a Saturday?!? I guess everyone else isn't stupid.

Cloud 09-22-2007 03:21 PM

I worked today for a couple of hours going through discovery docs with my boss. fun.

SamIam 09-22-2007 03:28 PM

I got a brand new water color set that I'm going to try out today. I feel like I'm six again which is sort of cool. On the bad news side, I'm searching the classifieds for affordable housing in a town where everyone and his brother has moved to from California, raising the rents to astronomical figures. A broom closet around here goes for $1200/month if you're lucky! :eyebrow:

Cicero 09-22-2007 03:28 PM

Ok.....well...there is always cloud..point proven.
lol!!!
j/k!!

Same here Sam....Apparently this is a hub-bub for the International Arts scene etc. etc. They start applying the heavy price-tags when Cali. moves in a says something is "hot" or "trendy"... I moved to the least trendy area and it's actually one of the best places to live!!!
If everyone wants to live close to the plaza for a million cool ones and live in the broom closet they can......guaranteed I will be as far away from the plaza I can get. And I am.
:D
Hopefully you have a windfall of good luck on that. I did. It was awesome!

freshnesschronic 09-24-2007 09:32 AM

I woke up at 7 am this morning then fell back asleep.
Then I woke up at 7:51 am and was like "SHIT!"
I biked in 9 minutes across campus weaving in and out of traffic, narrowly dodging pedestrians and burning my thighs like bacon to get to my 8 am class. I had homework due, and attendance is part of the grade.
I made it. Thank you Jebuz.

Sundae 09-24-2007 02:20 PM

I used to watch a Saturday morning TV show a couple of years back.
It always made me laugh and I'd go into work & discuss it with similarly juvenile minded colleages.

There was one sketch that we found really funny, which was also on the Best Of video bought for me by a colleague one Christmas.

In this sketch (funny for many lines, and for the characters) one person says, "You smell nice" to which the other replies, "Thanks! I've just had a poo!"

This line is the first thing I want to say if anyone tells me I smell nice. It would guarantee an immediate and hearty laugh at my old workplace. I mourn the passing of those days.

And yes, I do smell nice.
And yes, I have just had a poo.

Jeboduuza 09-24-2007 09:37 PM

I haven't eaten breakfast. In. Years.

freshnesschronic 09-26-2007 11:28 AM

I saw a squirrel riding my bike back home today after class. It had two crackers in its mouth and was sitting on a bike seat. Made me smile.

theotherguy 09-26-2007 11:30 AM

You let a squirrel ride your bike? I would have kicked his ass if he stole my bike.

Did you manage to catch him?

I saw a squirrel, while riding my bike back home.....
It was sitting on another bike at a bike rack. Yeah. I didn't even realize I had phrased it that way. You're on top of things, OG and SG.

jester 09-28-2007 02:01 PM

Speaking for myself only... I do believe that "file folder cuts" hurt alot more than "paper cuts". Oh, and I bleed more with the folder cuts too.:cry:

Cloud 09-28-2007 03:00 PM

the best thing for that is liquid bandage. Stinks and stings, but will seal those suckers off.

jester 09-28-2007 03:04 PM

thanks, i'll try that - it beats sucking on my finger:rolleyes:

the class I was teaching was cancelled.

but - STOMP is coming to my town. I soooo want to see it!

DanaC 09-29-2007 03:51 PM

Y'know, every so often I find myself neckdeep in a faction fight and I find I am starting to like it....

Slow down!

vivant 10-07-2007 08:21 AM

I sell seashells by the seashore.

Cloud 10-07-2007 09:30 AM

much money in that?

vivant 10-07-2007 01:00 PM

Sadly, no.

DanaC 10-07-2007 01:13 PM

Maybe you need a better marketing strategy?

ZenGum 10-07-2007 01:13 PM

I started my first thread today (smilies we need). I was getting anxious :worried: when after about ten hours there were NO replies at all! Doesn't anyone care at all?? :bawling:
Then the mighty Undertoad :santa: came through delivering most of the smilies I had suggested and plenty more. More comments followed. I feel validated.:D
Thank you :folks:

DanaC 10-07-2007 01:17 PM

:cheerldr: Aren't they great?:)

Glad you started the thread, ZenGum.

monster 10-07-2007 04:02 PM

Zengum you're on the other side of the world -you have to wait for thread gratification. :lol:

For sure. Shorter skirt, you think?

DanaC 10-07-2007 04:20 PM

You're wearing a skirt? Now, see, that there's where you're goin wrong...

BigV 10-07-2007 04:35 PM

nothing wrong with skirts.. skirts plus imagination equals sales all over the place.

DanaC 10-07-2007 04:37 PM

I was thinking that maybe wearing less than that would increase sales...

DanaC 10-07-2007 04:38 PM

Like, you get a bunch of shells.....work with me on this one....and build an elaborate, but gloriously revealing, shell bikini...now that's marketing;P

BigV 10-07-2007 04:47 PM

sell the shells comprising the bikini?

... potential

But you would want to start with many shells, mucho coverage, and price them right. if you're losing a penny a shell, you can't make it up on volume.

DanaC 10-07-2007 05:20 PM

True, true.....this is kinda like those peanut sales boards that had pictures of nekkid chicks that were slowly revealed by the sale of KP peanuts....I was clearly goin in the wrong pubs when I was 15.

True, but there are a few Aussies in similar time zones (and I've noted super quick responses from Aliantha, and DucksNuts is pretty sharp too). Also I have been living vampire hours lately (especially since wandering into the cellar) and I figured, with our global spread, someone, somewhere, would respond.

Meh, it all worked out well.

Cicero 10-08-2007 11:00 AM

I have a clip of Istanbul/Constantinople from last night's- They Might Be Giants show for Sundae Girl.....No time to load it aaaaah!!! The recorder is also too low on batteries...aaah! Deadlines suck- suck- sucky.........Coming soon SG...it's not much...but it's coming soon.

vivant 10-08-2007 11:19 AM

After much deliberation, I've decided there is more money in selling myself near the seashore than there is selling sea shells near the seashore.

A 10% cut of my profits to the Cellar Tip Jar at the close of each workday, as gratitude for the marketing advice sought herein.

And it appears I have completed the first probationary step; I may now post new threads. I shall bake myself a cake!

Cicero 10-08-2007 11:41 AM

Welcome Vivant. Buckle up. ;)
And-
Be advised: We only sell other people by the seashore here, and assume no liability.

TerryinDTW 10-08-2007 12:17 PM

I have to start somplace. This will do.

psssssttt.......I heard that DanaC's a postwhore.......

ZenGum 10-09-2007 12:16 AM

Just wondering, who has the highest post count?
And the highest posts per day?

Of current users, xoxoxoBruce seems well in front for total posts with over 23,000; at 12.7 per day.
TheMercenary is posting at over 13.2 per day.
RKZenrage is posting at 12.6 per day


Honourable mention for the noble Undertoad with 14,000+ posts, at 5.8 per day.

Anyone know of someone who beats these?

Who is the most prolific thread starter?

Whose threads get the most replies (both total replies, and replies per thread?)

Do you care?

The answers to these and other fascinating questions lie hidden in cyberspace. Your mission, should you chose to accept it ...

Is Sundae Girks any relation to Sundae Girl ?:p

monster 10-09-2007 07:42 AM

Shawnee, Flint, Ibram and aliantha only joined last year, so they should rank pretty highly on the posts per day....

(anyone seen the stairs up? I can only find the ones down and there seems to be a lot of heat coming from those. And flames and stuff...)
