I fantasize that you could fob off clients and colleague/competitors, 
but not family, by explaining that you are doing participant-observer 
anthropological research on us. (I read all of your post on Eurasian 
appearances and all of your post in the Mafalda thread, but fear of 
being politically incorrect keeps me from replying.)

Jamieson! Welcome back!

Happy Birthday to Lena!

Happy Birthday to Inge (the Norwegian Ridgeback dragon lady)!

Happy Valentine's Day (that was) to Dinah the poet, Rachel dressed in 
black, and everyone. I love Valentine's Day because of the lace and 
chocolate, even in years when I only look at the lace in stores and 
only have chocolate that I bought myself. This year I was given much 
candy and TWO plushies and I gave very small but expensive boxes of 
Godiva to the females on my team at work... I didn't mean to be 
sexist, but Ted and Amjad aren't that much into candy... 

Poor Sinead, how terrible to have a fight with your boyfriend on 
Valentine's Day, I hope everything works out okay for you. <> I 
hereby declare that you posted the Mafalda stuff on purpose to get 
everyone to praise our Magical Mods, List Elves, Poltergeists, and 
list rules (and it worked).

I have not found all HP fanfic to be depressing or angsty, altho' 
some people LIKE angst. I haven't read ENOUGH fanfic to say MOST HP 
fanfic is not depressing or angsty, but most of what I read is not.

LONG GREASY BLACK HAIR "The name's....Snape" 

If he was named S. Snape before the books/movie and didn't like 
people joking on it, he would CUT the damn hair and maybe even buy a 
BROWN coat.

Rigidity. Equals death. For some reason *snerk* this reminds me of 
the man in APA-Tarot who insisted that the/a phallus symbolises death.

Oh, there's an M in that...

Amanda wrote, of Mafalda's "John on his apparent uncontrollable need 
to viputerate a member"

> This sounds vagely sexy. 

I can pun on 'Morgan' and 'member', but not on 'vage'.

> And I like this word "viputerate."

It must be based on a portmanteau of viper and computer.

Cassie wrote, on the same thread, an essay ending 

> *bursts into tears of vexed ire* 
> Excuse me, I have to go viputerate someone now.

ROTFLMAO. What KCawte said about the coffee!
