Post Race!

[Shaggy Hiker]

Yeah, that one. What is it supposed to be?

[Shaggy Hiker]

Yay, new page.

[ident]

hello shaggy

[Shaggy Hiker]

I was wondering what happened to you. Haven't seen you around in a bit. Hope all is well.

[dilettante]

Yes. I'm at an age where people go silent and it is easy to let the imagination run wild.

[wes4dbt]

Well, I'm still alive. But I got to say, after 65 it feels like my body is aging in dog years.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Going to the dogs, are you?

[wes4dbt]

Yeah, it's ruff!!

[dilettante]

I got chastised tonight for warning an old lady not to toss around the phrase "cyber friends" which apparently doesn't have the connotation that it had in the past.

I was certain that its proximity placed into the same realm as "cyber sex" but a few searches seem to show that the old stank has been expunged.

Live and learn.

[dday9]

Paul McCartney once told me to live and let die.

[Shaggy Hiker]

You should have corrected yourself to cyborg friends, and told her that she would be assimilated.

[wes4dbt]

hmmm, I see Niya is back. Looks the VBF has granted him a pardon.

[dilettante]

How did you guess that the place is crawling with Apple users?

[Shaggy Hiker]

Doesn't take much of a guess. Apple users seem to be a core group with appeal.

[dday9]

Well, I told my son tonight the truth about Santa, Easter Bunny, etc. and that was one of the hardest talks I have ever had.

[dday9]

I feel terrible. But he is old enough and it was time.

[wes4dbt]

Well, I told my son tonight the truth about Santa, Easter Bunny, etc. and that was one of the hardest talks I have ever had.

What truth?? Has something happened to them?? Have they done something bad??

[dilettante]

What truth?? Has something happened to them?? Have they done something bad??

Are you kidding? Surely you have seen their "Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny" before.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Yeah, that was one RAUNCHY tape!!

[Shaggy Hiker]

I don't remember whether or not I actually believed in any of those characters.

[wes4dbt]

I don't remember whether or not I actually believed in any of those characters.

Yeah, I can picture you in a lab coat by 5yrs old. Enough of that childish nonsense.

[dday9]

Heck, I head shaggy was born with a fish in one hand and hiking poles in another.

[Shaggy Hiker]

That's more accurate.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Somebody attempting to slide down our chimney always bothered me a bit. It wasn't a very good chimney to slide down, even before we stuck a woodstove into the fireplace. I didn't think I would fit in the chimney, and some fat guy was right out, aside from the fact that he would be neither jolly nor clean by the time he reached the bottom.

[wes4dbt]

Heck, I head shaggy was born with a fish in one hand and hiking poles in another.

Bet his mom didn't appreciate that.

[Jacob Roman]

[dday9]

That is funny!

[dilettante]

Killing me softly with her dumb.

[Jacob Roman]

[dday9]

I would've expected a hairy chested man ripping his shirt off with the message in body paint on his belly while also trying to sell vitamin supplements.

Except instead of Brain Force, itd be Chest Force

[Shaggy Hiker]

Fun with signs.

[Shaggy Hiker]

I'm in Albuquerque, which is a super dry place anyways. I'm staying in a house with forced air heat set at 80 degrees. That means that dry air is being dried even further. I have to either run the shower until the humidity rises into the double digits, or else I have to soap up in the stream of water, or else I dry off so fast that I don't have a chance to soap up. I just rub a bar of dry soap over my skin. It's nasty.

[dilettante]

Seems like a waste of water. Aren't you supposed to bathe in sand like the birds?

[wes4dbt]

I'm staying in a house with forced air heat set at 80 degrees.

Are these people 120yrs old or lizard people??

[Shaggy Hiker]

Working on the former. It's certainly an age thing.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Bathing in sand is rough on the skin. It's a coarse, basaltic sand around here that nobody woud take for granite.

[dilettante]

So hard to keep up with the slang. What's the phrase, or is this already obsolete: "Iced out?"

Now, two weeks later, suddenly "What do you want?" out of the blue.

Are there classes or a club or something? Where do they get such behavior?

[Shaggy Hiker]

Yeah, that's obsolete. I think the current phrase would be "ghosted", but I'm old, so maybe that's too last year.

[dilettante]

The games continue. Is there a class they take or what? "Fight Club" for women?
