If Andrew means the Beck quote most prominent in my memory, it certainly
would not be confused with *anything* Deck would say.

Agreed.
I enjoy and respect what Deck posts, and I'd be truly taken aback
if I saw him start saying things like:
choking on a bucket of muscle fuel,
or hairgel burritos,
or pulsing electrifid saliva,
or bargain hunting smurf finger.

Jeez wait, that's not what I meant at all. Ha! A typo!
That's supposed to say "What Becks say". I was talking about
beer. Where'd I come up with that other junk?

Oh right... no, I had it right the first time.
I'm just taunting the gods. They've been pounding the crap out
of me lately, really launching, and I'm starting to get good at
taking a whack. I'm starting to feel bullet-proof and getting a
bit cocky. I don't think they got it in 'em to do me in, and I'm
waving my praaavate parts at their aunties.
The posing wankers, they don't know who they're up against.
They wanna get snooty with me for breaking the rules, HA!!!!

I'll use a black cat to break 13 mirrors under a ladder standing
in spilled salt.
Come and get me you weasels.
Macbeth!
Macbeth!
Macbeth!
I got your rules hangin!

I'm standing, near the table,
and I'm singing,

And (it isn't even covered by your )rew 'ls
What Beck says.

How dare you call me a bargain hunting smurf finger!!!
You're REALLY in trouble big-time for this one.
I think I could sue you for libeling the resident smurf on MW!
Could I? Would I? Should I? All these are terribly pertinent
questions here. "I mean, I meannnnn, there I was just a sittin on the
bench with minding my own business...." (or something like that, thanks
Arlo)

Back to the business of my bargain hunting finger. I DEMAND a public
apology. You were never to tell a soul that I did ALL my Christmas
shopping for under a hundred bucks at my favorite out of the way bargain
hunting places I know in the East Bay and on the web for my MW friends,
lurkers, etc. But did you RESPECT my wishes? Oh, NO, you did not!
I am mortally wounded. I make have to eat some chocolate tonight just
to get over this scandalous information.

I may have to eat TWO pieces of chocolate tonight. And everyone knows
what happens when I eat chocolate...I become a chocolate-covered smurf,
suitable for - well, never mind. JUST NEVER MIND!

I spoke to the smutty smurf lawyer today. He/She said I might just have
a really good case against you in King Arthur's court. HE said you
should look before your fingers leap onto the keyboard typing things
that may RUIN someone's reputation. That's what the SSL said, Buddy.

My advice? You take those words back and eat them for lunch tomorrow,
or I'll send all the lurkers to your door, and then you'll REALLY be
sorry.

Sheesh. I'm in shock. I'm in disbelief. (Can someone be in disbelief?
- oh well, it sounded good.) I'm A Palled. I'm Terri Fried. I'm
wasting Bandana's Width. (So, I guess I'd better quit, before the water
gets under the dam.)

Smurfette (who smiles wickedly at And [Mr. Cunning himself] Rew :)

Wow, I feel so much better now. Maybe I should do this more often --
then I could really be like __________ (Fill in the blanks with your
favorite Flame person!)

He'll be sorry all right.
Just send me, Lurker most dark (and foul),
and he'll be sorry
under a lorry
no time left even
for a spoonful of curry
in a hurry.
Ooo, what's that?
Something furry
sticking out of my pocket.

And by the way, that's Banana Width, not bandana. The spelling in
emails these days, ts ts ts ...
Just thought I'd mention it.

Not very catchy, is it? I like what Beck says better.

you been here before?

Yah but...well, I was just...hey, it wasn't...

It was Beck. I wasn't...

I'm sorry Miss Ellie, please accept my most heartfelt apologies.
I'd offer you some of my chocolate, but I don't have any. Just
some cheese.

You can have TWO pieces of my cheese if you'd like. You'd look
better in cheese anyway I think. It belongs with blue.

I'll be good, I promise.

Whee!

(rubbing hands together)

A cheese covered smurfette, wickedly smiling no less, lurkers at
my door, part of a word that's got me nearly speaking
i....nevermind, leaping onto keyboards...jeez! this is going to
be a great Christmas!
