OK, since my first version of this "Live with it" theme didn't fare so well, I offer this second one, while officially proclaiming the original as a target for the angst of the "I can't live with it!" crowd. To recap: Free shit generally is free for a reason, --and-- life's a bitch. Is there anyone here who doesn't get that idea? ;)

TANSTAAFL

Brings in the big bowl of popcorn and the big puffy couch... ~thinks~..... sets out a plate of cheese for the wine thats coming munch, munch...

"TANSTAAFL" TANSTAAFL ? Hmmm... OK, let's see..umm... Take Another Non Sequitur (stop me if I'm wrong) Trip Away And Fall (while) Laughing? No, that doesn't make much sense... That big puffy couch looks pretty comfortable though in the meantime. Is it a beanbag? :)

looks at the cheese thinks grabs the cheese and runs off to the kitchen

*Stomps to the kitchen..grabs the cheese...glares at Khai...takes cheese ~back~ to the room..sits on couch {without beans..it has puffy stuff :P} ~thinks.....~ Gets flyswatter

Fine, be that way - all protective of your cheese and your undisclosed puffy stuff. Hummpphh

The cheese is for the whineerscough And the undisclosed puffy stuff...is...ummm...well...its puffy stuff... The popcorn is for sharing :D

TANSTAAFL or "Only the sun rises for free"!! Ya don't know your classics, man! Back to school and read the Heinlein novel again: "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress (1966)"

I was hoping you'd share the puffy stuff, but I suppose popcorn will do. :P

Heh. There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch just don't tell politicians.

Yeah, that too. I knew that. ;) Reminds me of Niven's "Tanj" - There Ain't No Justice

Ohhhhhh! Well ya didnt say ya wanted to 'share' tha puffy stuff....thats doable {is do-able a word?} Do join me on the puffy stuff couch and have some popcorn..Im sure the cheese will begin to disappear before long :P

Thank you. :) Yes, "doable" is a word. I think. If it's not, it is now, I suppose. That's how words get mnade, anyway. Someone, somewhere has to be the first, and then, I guess maybe there's some council somewhere that approves or denies. Probably not though. But enough of the small talk What's a nice girl like you doing in a place looks around like...this? ;)

who you callin' nice?

well there goes the cheese entree's I was going to cook. and the cheese on toast. cheese straws. braised chicken in a blue cheese sauce....

*skips the cheese since by now Mike has his drool all over it and wonders if it's yet time for a round of mahna-mahna?

Umm...Hi, arry, always a pleasure. :) I do NOT drool! That's wine....

:huh: Huh? You call that wine? Ya might wanna check in the mirror there, Mikey. Oh and great to see you too. Someone has to stalk you... ;D

I want my membership fee back. Tom

Sorry Tom. It doesn't work that way...;) 'Relax,' said the night man, 'We are programmed to receive. You can check-out any time you like, But you can never leave!'

Actually since Nivien is a big fan of Heinlein, he thought up a similar slogan for his Known Space series after he read The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. Both have been used enough to become cliches since they express a truism in a short space. Can you pass that popcorn over here please?

*who you callin' nice? Heyyyyy....Im cough nice.... well there goes the cheese entree's I was going to cook. and the cheese on toast. cheese straws. braised chicken in a blue cheese sauce.... Well ....ok..you can have 'some' of the cheese...now I feel bad knowing you had plans to make us all a nice dinner.. mahna-mahna? Im going to have to go lok that up aren't I? I want my membership fee back. Membership fees are nonrefundable....you belong to us now.....FOREVER Bwaahaaaaa

mahna-mahna? Im going to have to go lok that up aren't I?"

doot-doooo-bi-doo-doo.....

OHHHH!!! Mahnamana

ROTF. Thought the added line & avvie might help....

It def. did help! Hehe!...I was like...what tha.....:huh:?

"Oh and great to see you too. Someone has to stalk you... ;D" Stalking, eh? Well, OK, I guess since it's you and not someone overly weird... Seems kind of exciting too. I've never had a stalker before. Is there anything special I'm supposed to do? Really, bear with me - I'm new to this. ;P

Is there anything special I'm supposed to do? Put on your pj's..run into the woods for about...oh..2 miles..and yell..."Is there anyone there?"....when you get an answer...run like blazes back home {making sure to go the wrong way of course}..and dont forget to fall at least 3 times..:tt2:

Huh? Why would I do that intentionally? It's bad enough when it happens by accident. puzzled

Well....ya said you were new to it..just thought Id give ya a starting point...plus I just wanted to see if you'd do it.. :laugh: ~Jumpy {aka Evil Overlordess of the Underdarkness}
