(+1, Back to the Future. -CV)

"Drink a bunch of beer on patios. Sit on a bunch of beaches. Go rent in a cabin in the woods. All three at (roughly) the same time, if possible. Either that, or take grampa's advice: 'Fuck a lot of women, Dwayne. Not just one woman. A lot of women.'" - jargon

Note to self: City of Heroes references are now COUNTERproductive.

PS: Congrats to germankitty and lots42, for making it through two completely different types of challenges.

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

I love CoH. Every once in a while, though, I get a sad. It was an MMO that was just right for me. Plus, you got to punch carnies. More games need to explore this key need.

[lots42.livejournal.com]

Thank you. Very much appreciated.

[germankitty]

Hey another 3-fer! I'm turning into 50%-gal here ...

@ cmzero, thanks, but the real challenge will come when Spouse takes early retirement in early 2017. Either we'll be able to do all kinds of stuff we never had time to until now together, or I'll murder him for getting on my nerves all day every day (instead of just on weekends and during summer break)!

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Retirement: Reminding spouses why they supposedly married each other decades ago. Also, probably unrelated, reminding spouses how stupid they were decades ago.

[germankitty]

*wry grin* Sounds about right. Nothing against my husband, I still think he's a great guy, but I sometimes wish I hadn't married at all ...

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Marriage is good, but stupidity is eternal!

[germankitty]

Ohh, and one other thing ...

"(Are you sure you're not thinking of Bea Arthur? -CV)"

You leave off of Bea Arthur, dude -- she was the BEST thing about "Golden Girls"! (When I grow up, I want to be a little bit like Dorothy Sbornak ... I already have the half-pint-sized meddling mother-in-law!)

Erm, and the other other thing? thepikey, you should maybe try buying Peruvian Darkness Powder at WWW in Diagon Alley -- smoke bombs are so last year! Also, may I suggest Bernard Jordan?

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

This is the LJDQ, young lady. We can make fun of ANYONE. And we will. Even Mr. Bea Arthur. ;-)

(Besides, Rose was the best character in "Golden Girls".)

[germankitty]

Rose came a very close second. :) It's just, being tall and sarcastic, I identified with Dorothy the most!

And who're you calling "Young lady"? Sorry, am neither!

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

I was too lazy to pull up the umlaut for "Fraulein". ;-)

[germankitty]

Again, hasn't been true for 33 years! (You can't win on that ...)

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Ok, I admit, I'm just being sassy. Sass is great! Better than chocolate cake!

[germankitty]

*snerks* You obviously haven't tried MY chocolate cake yet. Admittedly, it's not -quite- "Death by Chocolate", but made with homemade mousse au chocolat ...

[stagemanager.livejournal.com]

I'll be right over. Save me a piece or three.

[germankitty]

Will do. :) I'll let you know the next time I bake it.

[kagomeshuko.livejournal.com]

Yay, three quotes!

Party at my house, as long as you're not afraid of dogs . ..

Oh, who am I kidding . . . gin flavored pudding will outrank dogs (little dogs at that) any day . . .

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Gin gives us the power to triumph over dogs!

"D'ya like dagz?"

[kagomeshuko.livejournal.com]

Got three of them right now! One was my Mama's and of course, I wouldn't get rid of him. One has always been mine. One, we recently adopted, and he is my sister's. However, they are all "ours" or we are all "theirs" - however that works.

I've a feeling that gin gives you the power to triumph over almost anything.

[grapefruitzzz.livejournal.com]

Nearly a full sweep (apart from the Sting round).

*party party party*

*not till 4am this time that was a bad idea*

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Partying until 4 am is not a bad idea, unless you have to get up for work at 6 am. Then... maybe.

[grapefruitzzz.livejournal.com]

Yeah, about that....

[mark-laura.livejournal.com]

Saw the US beat Ghana last night! Awesome atmosphere! The team didn't actually look that great, but we somehow pulled out the win!!

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Mysteries abound! How can the puny Americans stand up to the Ghanaian Juggernaut? TUNE IN LATER TO FIND OUT!

[wrestlingdog.livejournal.com]

Whoa! I only answered 3 questions and I got 2 quotes! Sweet!

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Pretty good! Imagine what you could have accomplished if you answered six questions!

...well, 2/6 is not as good as 2/3. So I suppose you win this round...

[lots42.livejournal.com]

Math is hard.

"(Glad to see that the life-saving surgery did its life-saving thing. Rest up. Lucky for you the LJDQ is low intensity, low stress- the perfect activity for recuperation! -CV)"

Hospital-grade painkillers, vagina jokes and hassling people who give me free entertainment. The perfect combination.
