this one for me santa!!!!!please???

To paraphrase my above post.....

That would be asking for much!

See? That is what we are trying to give you ingrates! Headless, quiet chics!

Not much of a fan of fake 'tig-ol-bitties' but otherwise, she'll do just fine.

you sure? I know I can't be high on your flight-list.

What? You want head from a chick?

.... and really, who doesn't?

DG

um yes. all the time.

Shuh, yeah!

Uhm, I don't.

A Grumman Albatross and an unlimited internationally accepted gas card

Make it "fight" list and you move
way up.

Ouch! See?

Never would I dare to violate that beauty.

I want to know who shot J.R., and who killed Laura Palmer.

That reminded me of the R Crumb cartoon of Mr Natural with Devil Girl. He's somehow pushed Devil Girl's head into her torso & he's pimping her as the perfect woman...I tried to find a blow-up of that page to add, but I'm sure all the degenerates in this Lounge will remember the comic I'm referring to...

Yeah, it was featured in the Crumb documentary that Terry Zwigoff did. Demented genius!

YES! We need more NYC Mini-fest participants....

yes yes yes!
hurry hurry hurry!
some of us may not be around these parts too much longer

Who?

yes, who?

Have you heard something, Sheeps?

Still nothing definite. But I'm pretty sure I'll be out of here before the next school year starts.

You mean by September? I guess you'll be drinking Suntory absinthe then, huh?

well, i guess you have to look at the bright side of things.......when i finally get the scratch to drop over there i'll have a tour guide, right?

Nothing definite about destination yet, either. The leading contenders for me are either far East or Eastern EuroFuckyLand. Not the best places in the world for absinthe, granted, but there are worse: there's always Saudi Arabia.

I think they still chop off your hands there for getting drunk.

What happens when you run out of hands?

dammit, doc!

this is not good news for us.

well, it might be for YOU, but.....not for us.

set your priorities, mate!

It becomes very difficult to pull a cork, pour a draft, make a cocktail, or raise a glass to your lips. It's all about pre-emption.

I don't see why. The great thing about this thing is that it doesn't matter where a person is.

What I'm more worried about is that my new employers might actually want me to work for a living...

or pull other things that need pulling on. . .

well, i'm guessing that if you're somewhere in EuroFuckyLand next xmas you won't be stopping by my crib.

As long as gramma is still in Syracuse, I'll be making periodic pilgrimages there. She's 96 years old. She gets what she wants.

cool cool.

then for you, big guy!

Some audiophile quality gear can actually be fairly reasonably priced, you just have to know where to look.
Here's what I want for Xmas. A Decware Zen Triode tube amplifier.
http://www.decware.com/zpage1.htm

A guy I work with just bought one (only $500), and it actually sounds as good as his $5000 amp that uses Western Electric 300B tubes (though not quite as loud).

That combined with Omega crossover-less loudspeakers
( http://www.omegaloudspeakers.com/ )
sounds fuckin incredible, and the whole thing is less than $1000.

got one of these on sale for $40 at the Discovery Channel store 2 years ago.

it's even got a CASSETTE player.

Wow, Lystie, that's exactly what I thought of.

It's certainly lousy news for me. Just when I thought I might get a chance to hang out with the cool kids, one of them's making ready to bail.

I do hope it's a welcome opportunity for you, though, Doc.

Better then ready to make bail.

TWO of them.
Too bad too. If you go to NYU, we coulda been roomies. We could probly have some fun together in New York. I'm just guessin', but seems to me we probly could. You and me.

Yes, very welcome. I just wish it would hurry up and get here. That's my Christmas wish (to get back to the original thread (and in addition, of course, to my wishes for a prompt and happy resolution to the Mayor's difficulties and others' various ailments)): for the new gig to hurry up and get here.

But a couple of the cool kids will still be around, and I'll certainly be back fairly regularly. Lammie wouldn't let us not.

Of course, TWO.

I'm guessing you're right, Miss Mutton.

I'm happy for you two. I can still feel sorry for myself, though.

Ohhh.
Don't cry.

I think the Doc and Rrrramchop should move to New Zealand, if you know what I mean...

We've been talking about it. Actually, I've been meaning to ask your advice about New Zealand--I seem to recall you knew a thing or two about it.

I'm afraid I'll have to fly through Portugal. You have any idea how much tickets cost?

$139 round trip, minus taxes & handling fees of course...

(picture a cloaked & daggered fellow knocking on a back alley door, the peephole opens, and the cloaked figure says "the password is The Crow Flies West at Midnight...)

That is remarkably reasonable. I guess I need to talk to the travel agent soon.

Hey, what are me & Porkio....chopped liver?????
