Don't f*ck with Fate, she f*cks you back

[greyloch]

Can anyone see where this one is heading?? (/sarcasm)

Jennie gave me the heads up on this little episode at Otakon. :neener:

Speaking of cons, any idea what Jennie would like as a token of fan appreciation? No, long-haired Asian boys are not within my power to give. :jbp:

Drinks, good chocolate, sumthin'?

[Ecchi_Kitty]

Sugar seems to be well received, fremented or otherwise.

[toreador]

get EDENS there like the best chocolate you can give anyone! (9 out of 12 aint bad anyway)

[JennieB]

Sandwiches and orange juice!!!
Chocolate is fantastic but when I'm at a convention I can't get out to get "real" food. I used to eat a lot of candy at cons but then I'd crash and be no fun for the rest of the weekend. I'm behind the table for the 12 or so hours that the con runs and I can't leave to get food or water. I enjoy the chocolate when I'm home but I don't get to be home for a long time.

[toreador]

the downside to conventions though if you ever do another UK con then im going to do my best to make it round this time and ill bring pizza and jelly babies or something :D

Uhm, I'm probably going to regret this, but I can run and get you guys some food at D*Con if you're stuck there. It may end up being just sandwiches or Chick-fil-a or something like that from the food court (BTW, Willie's is awesome!)

However, I cannot make bathroom runs for you and Christy. But if you need someone to watch your stuff & hawk your 'wares' while you run to the bathroom, just grab me when I walk by.

Seconded ... All I ask for is one of Christy's thongs for a replacement eye patch.

Rereading that, I think I should have chosen my phrasing better. But i stand by what I say. ;-)

Sure you can! All they'd need is tablecloth, skirt, an empty glass milk bottle, and good aim. :dgrin:

Then you could do the actual run to the bathroom... now THAT's a FANBOY!



To hell with Fate... it's Forex that is fucking with me this month. Probably because I'm chanting for a bear market...

Hehe...we shall keep her well-fed(was planning on snagging some sushi for her from said foodcourt, since she seems partial to the stuff)

[Leffy]

i love you Jennie, and if by some amazing miricle i get to see you at D*C, i will do anything and everything you could possibly ask of me. i just have one request. no pee. or poop. give that to otis :P he seems ok with it.

Hey, I never said I'd do it...

[Leffy]

you're not saying you won't either :P

[Big Otis Landfish]

Not for Jennie (sorry Jennie!), but it doesn't particularly bother me to haul bodily functions if needed (doesn't interest me at all, but if it needs doing, I'd do it). I don't find urine that gross (nothing very scary on a chemical basis, and it's close to sterile when fresh). Poop is the definition of gross, but meh... it's a daily occurance. Besides, I'm male... I've had friends bottle pee, and other friends decide my house was a flush-free zone (going to pull a faux top-tanker on that bastard I think).

Restaurant grease traps are as bad as shit, small engine repair shop grease traps are even worse. The smell of black mold will make me huck way faster than the nastiest of dumps.

i wish i had that sort of fortitude.
just walking near the customer toilets at work makes me feel ill

[Leffy]

thats because they're public and not personal. apparently dumbasses everywhere beleive this is the reason its "allowed" for them to forget everything their mommas taught them about the potty.

[Ruestir]

Meh...It amazes me where I work that there are grown men who don't flush or clean up after themselves. One of these days I'm going to catch one of the yahoo's that doesn't flush and I'm gonna drag his ass back into the bathroom and make him do it.

Or just rub his face in it. We have the auto-flush toilets at work, so it's usually not too bad.

[Ruestir]

Or just rub his face in it.

Believe me, that thought has crossed my mind as well, but I do like where I work and my better judgement keeps me from doing things that would jeapordize it.

[Leffy]

that reminded me of a whole lot of reasons its a good thing i'm not working in retail anymore. way too many scary stories of bodily expulsions, and alot of them weren't in the bathroom alone :|

That's it! Bring real food and watch the table for a bathroom break. Those are the two things that are desperately needed by the "prisoners of the table."

[jimbo]

:spankies:*adds video camera to luggage*

You know? Definitely. I thought about this after Comic-Con and was really kicking myself.

[JennieB]

And sometimes I wonder why people have said "your forum scares me"
I don't think we have a "gone too far" button. That, or we really like pressing it.
I'd like to put "talking about someones excrement" under the "gone too far" button. While we're at it, could we not put my haylo in anyones orifice anymore?

[Ruestir]

I'll second that! That's just one of those places we don't need to go.

[JennieB]

I love that we talk about everything and go on fantastic tangents.
It's just that, even though the comic is a stylized version of my life, it's still, in part, me.

Sorry, Jennie. :P

Surprisingly, most forums (including rather 'open' ones like this) seem to have a natural excrement taboo, probably for good reason.

Well, maybe it's only surprising to me because my mother regularly discussed bowel movement quality at the breakfast table when I was growing up... still does on the phone, mind you. :rolleyes:

[randombrit]

i suppose i should be thankful the quality of my bowels has never been a discussion point in our family.

[RazorJAK]

*shudders*

I work in a casino. Let's not talk about bodily expulsions. It never ceases to amaze me how many times we have to kick some out because they were so focused on their game that they wouldn't get up from the machine/table until it was too late.

The housekeeping department doesn't get paid enough.

[JennieB]

Big Otis, I think your mom wins on the "oversharing"
My mom did have to start a hand signal when the dinner table conversation got to be too much. We peeked our hands over our head like a house if something got too graphic and if the speaker kept going then the girls were aloud to start talking about menstrual cycles, which would shut everyone up pretty fast.

[kitty!]

My mom wins at over sharing. Menses, Bowel movements, and gas-passing are all casual things shared when mum feels like embarrassing us. The thing is, we go right back at her to try and make her uncomfortable.

unfortunately it never works XP

[Crazeyal]

Yes, you're right (apparently she learned this from her dad, so it's a multi-generation thing).... and I assume you missed the post about hanging the fake... uuuuh, nevermind. I've heard all the menstrual talk too, no big deal.

Now, all the GOOD stories are about my Dad... but I'm not telling those ones. :D

We are not a dysfunctional family in any way... honest... we just have few taboos.

(one time I was studying at my house with some college buddies, and my mom was on the 'net searching for Vitamin B-14 (she's a health nut). Shocked the hell out of them when she came in and announced that she'd accidentally stumbled on a site featuring '14 inch Cocks and Gigantic Balls'. :d8o:

@ Kitty... this isn't an attempt to embarrass us... it's everyday conversation. She is always telling me how her dog's BMs are doing (standard poodle with sketchy bowels) on the phone.... and I'm a dude, so menstrual talk counts +1, with extra bonus for every time the word 'clotting' is used. Mom FTW!

(2 minute TMI penalty for Otis :P )

She gave birth to you and changed your diaper, you cant outgross your mum.

[kitty!]

That's why I talk about boys, hickeys and the sexual pursuits of my nameless friends.

You make mummies uncomfortable by confronting them with the idea that their babies are growing up and may one day be having babies themselves XP

[UberFische]

I don't try to gross out people anymore, when I talked about what I'd seen and done, my friends seemed more horrified than grossed out. I don't talk about those things anymore, and I'll never mention them to my family, my parents didn't tolerate anything that wasn't suitable for normal conversation.

[kitty!]

Which is why you are here, isn't it Fishie?

And on a related-but-only-on-a-completely-fringe note:

Who here has watched 'Secretary'?

At your age, and possibly your ethnic heritage. My MIL is already asking why there's no grandbabies yet... and we are getting married this fall. :dgrin:

I think Jennie knows what I'm talking about:

Except there are no other grandkids yet. Luckily I'm not the one with the uterus.

[RazorJAK]

I can out-uncomfortable my mum easily ...

"Hey mom, remember the time you walked in on me and (X) fucking on the basement pool table?"

She still twitchs to this day.

Yea gross out and family dinner... naw it doesn't happen in my family....

Lets see last thanksgiving, talk wound up on, my grandfathers catheter, which cause my 93yr great grmma to start talking about the catheter she had done the year before when she broke her hip and the young doctor, was having so much problem getting it in she had an organism....

Yea I come from a special family too...

[Leffy]

kinda can't wait to be an old lady. you're allowed to be uncouth tactless and all around "innocently" disturbing.
wait. i already do that.

aint it the truth =/. (the "scaring the shit out of your parents by making it obvious that youre growing up" part anyway) yeah, as soon as we start talking about any type of excriment, its dad that shuts us up fast. until he cracks one off..... :rolleyes:

[JennieB]

My dad would blame farts on a toad. "Hey, did you see that toad?"
Except that there were toads everywhere in the summer and I wouldn't associate the fart to him talking about a toad. I just thought he saw a toad.

I've also heard "someone stepped on a goose!"

[Leffy]

the terms "elephant stampede behind the couch" is used in our household. and the blame game. my mother is the queen of the blame game. she'd "foofoo" then hollar "first one to say what, farted!" and one of us would always go "what? AW DAMMIT"

this technique is used frequently on dates that made it to date number 5 in this household.

[Mike Taylor]

"Damned frog!" became a common exclamation around the gaming table back home. That and "playing the magical booty flute".

[Ruestir]

"Hmm...floor is rather squeeky around here."

My old man still does that with my kids now. The toad bit that is.

[Rapscallion]

I asked someone yesterday for marks out of ten. She was already stunned, but managed to say, "... ten ..."

I pointed into the mid-distance and cried, "Oh, but only a 3 from the Russian judge!"

Ever seen someone laugh so hard they couldn't breathe? Not often I accomplish that. I stole the line from You Damned Kid, but it's a good one.

*sigh*...it's not my Chinese mother-in-law applying the pressure....it's *MY* formerly perfectly-sane, hippy feminist mother!! (I hadn't even been dating the man for a year when she instructed me to go home and tell him she 'wants him to be the father of my grandchildren.' - that was 4 years ago, and the pressure's only MOUNTED!!)

*weep*

[RazorJAK]

Is ... MOUNTED ... really a term you want to use in a thread talking about reproduction?
