The Funny Pages - Tickle Me Elbow - The Original

[tom]

OH Tom.....

Oh no no no you can't stick this on ME!!

All we heard ALL day was he's too into me I'm not interested now it's a non-date isn't that pathetic? etc etc ALL FLIPPIN DAY!!

ROFL

My so-called theories (can I use Axioms?) are spot-on for the situation described!

It was DEFINITELY a DATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Non-date non-date mantra didn't take?

I knew *HE* thought it was a date!

(Oh btw, what *did* this charmer bring besides wine & rum?)

<trojan12pack>

HOLY CRAP c.spice made it back!! (I didn't write that)

I cannot recall anyone so - - - - ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cannot recall a more enjoyable, effortless, evening.

Holy crap, holy crap, HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dingy's got it bad!!

But can still throw out a "gobsmackingly" when required.

It's the turnaround that's so damned hilarious. LMAO

Happy for you tho

(as long as the confusion doesn't end up leaving u w/ a bloody stump for a neck - <kaBLOOie> )

Susan, Nikki will know what an Aga is ..

I do

An aga?...hmm..this is what our Iranian grocery clerk wears on her head, perhaps?

..isn't that a hijab?

Wearing an Aga on the head is definitely not advisable and would be exceedingly uncomfortable!!

close inspection and scrutiny might reveal.....a subtle but nearly tangible dye-mension of squalor.

...no idea what dye-mention means, excellent wordage!

salacious goobs

..how dare you!

I cannot recall a more enjoyable, effortless, evening.

I am flummoxed and gobsmackingly confused. Trust me.

A veritable imbroglio.... .....maybe

[elye]

A veritable surprise! For all of us!! Susan, it's so great to have something terrific suddenly happen to one of us, instead of all the dreaded yucky things we all come on here to garner support over. Way to go, girl. Jestgar truly was onto something...the more laissez-faire one is, and the less one is straining for achievement, and certainly the less one's expectations, the more the chance of some wonderful surprise like this one. Not caring is SOOOO attractive!

[jerseyangel]

Hey Susie--way to go!!!

Try not to overthink it--relax and see what happens

[Judyin Philly]

Susie Q so you had a good time???

you have another date tonight????

wowo.....you ROCK GIRL.

LOVE J

[CarlaB]

Susie, this is GREAT news!! I'm glad you had such a good time! Seems like Tom's wanting to know this guys trick ... ... you've got to read all the small details of his emails so carefully.

Things like that sneak up on you when you least expect it.

I knew Nikki would know what an Aga was ... definately not something to wear on your head ... in fact, people wondered why we weren't taking our old one with us ... it was easier to buy another, trust me ... plus, it was a good selling feature for our house ... and it's the best way to make a good cup of tea, especially in the winter.

...Easier to buy another one...ya don't wear it (on your head, anyway)...good selling feature...can make great tea in it...I assume we find it in the kitchen?

...In the bedroom? (whoa...interesting pictures conjuring)..

Everyone's rooting for Susie .........GAWD!!! IS SHE UP YET?!?!

omg Carla gimme some warning!! I was >>THIS<< close to spewing water all over my sidekick. It would invalidate the freaking warranty!!

Methinks one who reads too closely sees what one wants to see.

<hmmmm new plan - bother dates b4 date so they regret making date; deliver new fast-food beverages incognito; etc etc. how can it ever fail?!!>

I knew Nikki would know what an Aga was ... definately not something to wear on your head ...

Fine!! I didn't want to know ANYway!!

[Edit P.S. Oops there IS a link for the mystery]

And hey ladies!!!! I can't seriously be the only one who finds yesterday's saga of our Reluctant Dater so amusing, can I?

The sudden reversal is just too drastic!

I think this guy is Susie's 'Green Eggs & Ham' in human form.

<not in box, w/ a fox, nor a car, bar etc etc etc then "mmmm susie like!" >

[nikki-uk]

Fine!! I didn't want to know ANYway!!

You SO did

Hilarious and so...frighteningly...fitting: If one googles "aga", the first two sites are:

The American Gastrointestinal Association

and

The American Gas Association

Man, I love this! I NEED these guys in my kitchen. And my bathroom...

[Jestgar]

OK, heading to the bench to do lots of lab work. I just wanted you all to know that I just got my hair cut, and when I'm working at the bench it falls in my face. Since I can't touch anything with my hands I have to pull it back in a ponytail. Here's where the 'funny pages' part comes in. Since the front part is so short, in order to keep the small pieces back I have a short, thick wad of hair sprouting out of the very top of my head - like the horrible hairdo mom's give to their little girls because it looks so cute...

I am so gonna get no respect today.

sigh

[nikki-uk]

Jestgar is having a 'bad hair day at the lab' ....and now we all have Aga lust

[jerseyangel]

I am so gonna get no respect today.

sigh

Sorry about your little topknot

May I suggest a headband to go along with your ponytail in the future. I've been doing that a lot lately while growing out my bangs. It dosen't look too bad, either.

What are 'bangs'?? ...is it a fringe??

OMG OMG OMG OMG - - -

Well, I kind of got hit between the eyes when he walked up.....he was about 20 times cuter than I remembered (as you recall, it was my drunken, sweaty, stinky gym-clothing clad night at the pub?)......and he was cute to begin with - - -

so he brought the rum, but we drank the wine, and he brought candles.....BUT THE COOLEST THING OF ALL??????? he brought this cord that lets me connect my Ipod to my stereo - - - just sort of knew I didn't have one, and he had an extra.....

OMG he had me at Stereo Accessories and booze......

Exactly Emily - - - - I didn't care - - but I WAS nervous and unsettled all day - - so maybe I *secretly* cared.........????

Everyone's rooting for Susie .........GAWD!!! IS SHE UP YET?!?!

*yawn* I could hardly manage to kick the guy OUT last night........TRULY UNPRECEDENTED for me - - he coulda stayed for hours more, and it would have been fine......

I'm telling you, I"m FLUMMOXED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A fringe......

Bangs are the hairs that you cut to rest casually atop the forehead. I have SEVERE BANG LUST as I have a cowlick that makes the hair go to one side and not rest sexily atop the forehead to hide the slight wrinklage creeping in. Harrumph.

CARRY ON!!!!!

SUSIE IS OUT OF HER MIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DingoGirl]

MANGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I see you!

Come and play with us!

[Mango04]

MANGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I see you!

Come and play with us!

I've been spotted Hi Dingo!

[DingoGirl]

I've been spotted Hi Dingo!

Yes, "creepy" lurker that you are....

:lol:

You'll like it here! A whole thread about nothing, and what we really are (it's been mentioned before but I'll say it again) is the sort of naughty stepchildren of c.com.

We like it here. We're a little cheeky but nobody messes with us.

Ahhhh, the 'chocolate bar & nylons' of the New Millenium!!

I don't get how an iPod owner doesn't already HAVE the cord!!

And Dingy!!!! While your human "green eggs & ham" scenario threw off my advice, reflecting what had been said ALL DAY, (sheesh u truly *ARE* aren't u?), I do deserve a little credit for knowing g.e.&h. would show up w/ gift(s) beyond the wine & the rum. <in accordance w/ the prophecy> (LOL nikki)

I'm telling you, I"m FLUMMOXED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SUSIE IS OUT OF HER MIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What? Nothing on whether your plans for tonight are out in the world or again in the friendly confines of dingoland?

I'd lobby for live music of any sort if it's currently undecided.

[Edit]

P.S. the most surprising thing happened to me last night!!

Showing up at a great bar that didn't exist the last time I lived in AZ, I find a small lobby, w/ three directions to choose from, one w/ a great stage/performing space.

The lobby is well-lit, and only the other areas have the typical nightclub darker lighting.

I, . . .. .at 45 yrs old . . . . .. got CARDED!!!

I never imagined that would ever happen again, tho it did go on thru my early 30s far more than most of my friends, it's just so ridiculous that after years of illness (and even just the years themselves!!) an experienced ID checker could even imagine needing to verify I was born before 1987! *snort* ROFL

Umm, no, this was REALLY in your post! I saw it because I had my glasses on!

I must put you out of your misery Emily!!. Here is an Open Original Shared Link

Click on the heat storage .... I had/will have a four oven ... in claret (red).

omg Carla gimme some warning!! I was >>THIS<< close to spewing water all over my sidekick. It would invalidate the freaking warranty!!

I'd have given you warning, but I didn't know I was being funny ... so, just be forewarned, if you see my name, it may or may not be funny.

Methinks one who reads too closely sees what one wants to see.

See above.

And hey ladies!!!! I can't seriously be the only one who finds yesterday's saga of our Reluctant Dater so amusing, can I?

<not in box, w/ a fox, nor a car, bar etc etc etc then "mmmm susie like!" >

Yup, I find it amusing, too, but being a woman, it's not quite as surprising to me as it might be to you.

Do they normally give you respect? I did my kids hair that way, it's so cute ... sometimes I do mine that way to wash my face ... looks so ridiculous though.

Bangs are the hairs that you cut to rest casually atop the forehead. I have SEVERE BANG LUST as I have a cowlick that makes the hair go to one side and not rest sexily atop the forehead to hide the slight wrinklage creeping in. Harrumph.

Yeah, I love bangs.

SUSIE IS OUT OF HER MIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We already knew that!

Okay, gotta go take the kiddos to the doctor for sports physicals ... fun.

[nikki-uk]

he was about 20 times cuter than I remembered

Which is always nice

.BUT THE COOLEST THING OF ALL??????? he brought this cord that lets me connect my Ipod to my stereo - - - just sort of knew I didn't have one, and he had an extra.....

OMG......Excellent!!...... What a COUP!!!!

This is just soooo great, can't wait for the next meet!!!!

What????

SUSIE IS OUT OF HER MIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...and this is why we love you!!

I've been spotted Hi Dingo!

Mango/Meredith, now that you've been spotted - you MUST participate...'tis the law

[nikki-uk]

I do deserve a little credit for knowing g.e.&h. would show up w/ gift(s) beyond the wine & the rum. <in accordance w/ the prophecy> (LOL nikki)

Eh???.....ssslllowww brain today

I, . . .. .at 45 yrs old . . . . .. got CARDED!!!

YAHOOO!!!....(I don't ever get asked)

Click on the heat storage .... I had/will have a four oven ... in claret (red).

Two words......Aga lust

Yeah, I love bangs.

Yep, so do I,....just wish I understood what they are!!

[Jestgar]

Do they normally give you respect?

good point...

[tom]

Umm, no, this was REALLY in your post! I saw it because I had my glasses on!

Not sure what we're talking about. Are those glasses new?

I'd have given you warning, but I didn't know I was being funny ... so, just be forewarned, if you see my name, it may or may not be funny.

Oh good! At least NOW I know!!

I suppose the nearly tragic warranty-invalidating full-mouth water ejection was primarily from surprise. THEN the began. (Shame u don't even get to take credit for something so so funny to me. )

Yup, I find it amusing, too, but being a woman, it's not quite as surprising to me as it might be to you.

Well, I might have addi.......

Uh, ok, I'll stick w/ your comment.

But Dr. Seuss-zee's greeneggs&ham sure wasn't prognosticated in anyone's post, was it?

Surely if anyone thought it, they'd have mentioned it?

OMG wait - please don't tell me you're not surprised because most women are as nutty as Susie!!!!

I didn't just fall off the nightshade truck, ya know.
