Hey, Scourge,
Welcome back
My life is still kinda sucky.
Had yet another deal fall through for our old house, and then got offered a STUPID depressing deal that we just could not accept.
So i am broke, and pretty depressed and there is no end in sight.
So I frankly, an staying AWAY from FR to some degree, and not inflicting myself on folks.
No need to bring everyone ELSE down.
(Heck, these days I don't even lurk in the Canteen much)
But i AM glad yo are back.
Weird name and all!
:-)
He's BAAAACCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!
(Ahem.)
Hysterical Overreaction:
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RUN FOR THE HILLS! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
(Concomitant arm-flailing and hysterical shrieks of horror.)
....It was an impossible situation, like the 1984 Olympics. But Father is an overawing man who always obtains what he desires.
“Shapka,” he said on the phone to me, who was at home enjoying the greatest of all documentary movies, The Making of “Thriller,” “what was the language you studied this year at school?”
“Do not dub me Shapka,” I said.
“Alex,” he said, “what was the language you studied this year at school?”
“The language of English,” I told him.
“Are you good and fine at it?” he asked me.
“I am fluid,” I told him, hoping I might make him proud enough to buy me the zebra-skin seat coverings of my dreams.
“Excellent, Shapka,” he said.
“Do not dub me that,” I said.
“Excellent, Alex. Excellent. You must nullify any plans you possess for the first week of the month of July.”
“I do not possess any plans,” I said to him.
“Yes you do,” he said....
Well, Scourgie, I was out of town. Then I was "saving" this thread until I caught up.
Then, of course, I had to read through it to make sure it was REALLY YOU. After the paparazzi incident (scandal??) regarding your quotes getting out in the press, you were quite the hot potato around here. Then, just like that, you were gone, with no way to get ahold of you. So many impostors....
I mean, look at your profile page -- if a gal had to go on that alone, I'd have to say, AGAIN, "NO, that's NOT Scourgie! Who are you and what have you done with him? Bring him back! I want those 'Good Times!'"
But, I digress. Welcome back, as many seem to have vetted you. I don't know if there'll be a next time, though -- I mean, imagine! "The FReeper Formerly Knows As Do Not Dub Me Shapka Broham" ??
*sighs*
C'mere, ya big lug! Welcome back!
BUMP!!!
I'm so happy. I am (How you say?) "Sh**ting a brick."
Mad props on finding that excerpt, also.
I think that writer is going to be a one hit wonder, though.
Chalk it up to luck.
Google is my friend. ;o)
But I thought it nailed you -- uncanny! "The making of Thriller"? "....the zebra-skin seat coverings of my dreams."? It's like the guy KNOWS you! Like he's channeling you or sumthin'!
Check out comment #121-my own incoherent stab at explaining what the heck it means-and #166, which is "Watery Tart's" slightly more informative attempt at describing how I stumbled upon this bizarre handle.
Enjoy!
From here.
Very impressive.
I'm just left with one burning question...
Who the heck is George?
Ask him.
george@arco-iris.com
I actually did check out the rest of the site. Pretty interesting stuff.
I think there was also a series in the Freeper Canteen about different forms of armaments and weaponry throughout history.
A helpful explanation of my unorthodox screen name can be found in post #166, courtesy of Watery Tart.
A much less helpful-but slightly more incoherent-stab at an explanation can be found in post#121, courtesy of yours truly.
Enjoy.
-good times, G.J.P.(Jr.)
