Outhouse of Uncool discussion

Have you ever seen a living cliche'?

Today I saw a man walking down the street in my little corner of downtown Portland. He actually stopped to smell a rose.

I think, in this case, it may have been cool.

Did you notice if he made sure that nobody was looking?? Was he wearing some sort of French outfit??? Did you wait till nobody was looking to smell it too??

Maybe he was a spy and stopping to smell a rose is the secret signal to his contact to recognize him… I think you should follow him and find out what’s going on!!! Maybe a sleeping cell on your hood just weak up!!!

He didn't hesitate at all, actually...what does that mean?

I didn't smell it, should I have? Should I go and do it now?

Thanks Sarah! Those are the old ones. I haven't been able to find any picks with the ones I actually wear, save one, and it's rather far away.

Ko...I thought you were serious for a sec. Anort!

Amelia, I once stop to smell a rose… it was like 3 or 4 in the morning, there Is this house behind queens mall with this beautiful garden… and it smelled so nice… that I decided to smell one of the flowers first thing I did was make sure that nobody was looking then I smelled and ran away from the crime scene… is so uncool to stop and smell flowers I felt kind of gay =P. and I do think you should go right now and smell that flower maybe it has the best smell in the whole world and if it doesn’t well you get a weird story to tell =P

Montambo, I forgot to tell you something… I ain’t talking to you on chess.com every time you talk I mess up!!! I get your strategy now… you know how much I love to talk about myself and you ask me how is my day and that kind of shit to confuse me!!!

She's a tricky one, that Librarian!

It's a man thing, Sarah. They can't do two things at once. I remember trying to talk to the ex once while he was putting the needle on an LP. He gave me the "one second!" finger until he had the record on and then looks up, "what?". Uh...nevermind!

My husband cannot hear a blessed word I say if he is reading an email.

That ain’t completely true… I can watch a movie and put chips on my mouth at the same time… sometimes I even go a little crazy and chew the chips too…

You still have a turn table?

I think that is much too cool for this place!

I don't, the ex-husband does...and she's uncool, again!

And there you have it.

Yay, Amelia, Montambo ask me why do I call myself Feanor in chess.com!!! I know she knows!! And I know she knows that I know that she knows! I started to answer like 3 times already!!! She is messing with my head!!! Help me Amelia tell me something to distract her!!!

P.S. if you know how to operate it... it makes you cool!

Well, High King of the Noldor, I haven't read The Silmarillion yet.

Just tell her not to tease you, and call her "Librarian" a lot. :)

Librarian...post 18 told you the answer, albeit subtly.

I think it maybe take the librarian a few minutes to respond Amy:

Librarian comment after my last move:

Montambo: I hate when you're calling the shots.
Montambo: Fork off! I'm going to get some food. You suck

Heh, I thought she was beating you? Something about rooks and bishops and knights?

That’s what she thought too… GUAHA GUAHA GUAHAHAHAHHA

She did your laugh for me the other night at dinner with the gang...:)

It was like you were there, Alfonso! Sarah was that convincing.

Can't you just hear it Jacks? Makes you giggle a bit, huh? You can't even help it!

Yes, and then I think about Sarah M. taking off her glasses and going "Rawrrr!" and I laugh some more!

Somehow, it was just has I have imagined. So, I have to say that I think it is spot on as well!

(Sarah, talk to him more...remember your strategy!)

Go "Rawrr!" at him, Sarah! He'll totally get distracted!

Maybe the roar will be more powerful than the meow?

Thanks KD! I think you are the only one who got the spirit of this particular thread. :) Unfortunately, I haven't seen, or noticed, any further living cliche since in order to further illustrate my intention.

Hm...living cliches around here...

* The "biker" guys who wear those skin tight bicycle outfits are everywhere. They all look like clones...mirrored sunglasses, etc.

* The "biker" guys who ride Harleys. Enough said.

* The "soccer moms". Enough said, too.

Well spotted KD!

I used to coach Special Olympics bowling...good times!

Oh, those "serious" bikers. I'm torn between annoyance and pity for them.
Whenever one whizzes past me on the trail, I think: Do you really need a whole special outfit just to ride your bike? And would it kill you to smile?
Are you having any fun?

One of my foster dad's used to race with the Delta Light team. Anyway, I HATED going to races, it was excessively boring as they were only visible for moments as they whizzed by in a cluster. The bitch was, if one of them fell, they all fell, like dominoes. It's wrong, but I always wanted to laugh...

Yeah, you're right, Jackie...they do have that intense look in their eyes. I live right by both a bike path and a back road that the "serious" bikers tend to favor. Most people will wave or say hi if you pass them by the serious bikers nod, if you're lucky, and often stare straight ahead.

Like...these....amelia?:)

When they're in a whole group like that and 5-10 of them go down, I know it's evil, but I have to laugh!

I love it when they pass you on a trail and scream "ON YOUR RIGHT!", because they're so mentoring important and have the right of way or something. OR, the ones on the road that don't think that traffic laws apply to them. Those ones deserve to get run over!

Ewwww, I think I might be cranky today...
