[the_old_crowd] Is He Dead Jim? (and OTness and John's physics)

Tue Sep 2 01:10:38 UTC 2003

First off all, sorry for the lurking,
it's what I do.  I don't usually have
much to add to anything and when I do
open my mouth I tend to babble (as those
whom read my LJ know.)

Kaitlin: Man you have a busy
life...sounds a bit fun though :o)

John: I won't comment on the surgery as
I'm already a bad friend who didn't even
know about it until today though I do
hope you're getting better.  Good luck
with the internship love.

Onto Randy's actual post:

<Perhaps we should pick a topic that
someone would like to discuss?

Politics?>

Oh please no.  Considering I went off at
a country fair on the subject I don't
think we need me to open my big mouth on
this issue.

<Music?>

Er, what's that?  Haven't listened to
anything besides Meatloaf in so long now
I forget what's "Hip" these days.

<Other authors?>

May I just state, proudly that I've
gotten to Book Four of Lord of the
Rings...and it's only taken
me...er...since January of the run of
Fellowship of the Ring the movie to get
there.  And now may I say these movies
are a load of crapishness.  The book's
much better.

<That jerk that keeps bothering me?>

Aw love, tell us all about the jerk...:o)

<Why does JKR have to kill off a great
character and piss off half of
her fans?>

Because it was necessary in her mind and
at least it wasn't Dumbledore.

<What I did on my summer vacation?>

Go for it...had to have been better than
mine where I spent three months reliving
the fact that my mom and I cannot live in
the same house without screaming at each
other (Yes, my summer vacation was spent
at my mother's....I know I'm weird)

<Who would I like to turn into a toad?>

Go for it, I have a nice list myself of
who should be toaded.

<Why does Neville have a toad?>

*shrugs*  Always wondered that myself.
It could be that whole bit in SS where
Hagrid mentions that no one has a toad
these day and then suddenly this kid
appears with a toad making him seem a
little...odd.   Of course, I could be
channeling fanfiction and not actually SS
so I'm not sure if that bit was there...

<Is the toad an important character like
Scabbers?>

Doubt it, though I wonder if Trevor the
Toad was actually Neville's
Parents/Grandmother's.  Again the whole
thing of no one these days having a toad.

<Perhaps the toad is Voldemort's twin
brother separated at Birth?>

*cocks eyebrow*  oookay.  Well that's a
theory.

Tom was the nicer looking one, he didn't
turn ugly until later. *holds onto her
belief*

<Perhaps the toad is chewing all of that
gum and leaving the wrappers!>

Mean little toad.

<Perhaps Neville's twin brother was
turned into the toad!>

By who?  Grandmother, Uncle Algae (pretty
sure that's not his name), Death
Eaters...

Which makes me wonder, if, by chance,
Neville's twin WAS turned into a
toad...why is he always running away?
Does he know the secret to Voldemort's
downfall?  The secret recipe for squid
Every Flavor Beans?  Where Snape keeps
the hallucinogenic potions?  Or does he
just not like Nev?

<Perhaps the toad carries the Mark of
Voldemort and will save the day
at the end of the books!>

Okay even I can't go with this one, it
just tops everything by itself.

<Why did we ever let this guy on the
list, anyway?>

Because we love him

<Is there anyone out there?>

Yup, though I'm caught between Middle
Earth and wondering why my cat is
stairing at my cigarette.

<Okay, Let's say the Toad leads the House
Elfs in the next great Elf
rebellion and ...>

In order for it to be the NEXT great Elf
rebellion...wouldn't there have had to be
a rebellion to start with?  Goblin
rebellions sure, but can't think of an
Elf rebellion.

<OK, I know when I'm not wanted.
Fine.>

Not true, you are wanted love...both of
you.

Anyway, if you've still read this far,
nothing new in my life beyond the fact
that the state of Oregon sucks and won't
pay for my medication (I have bi-polar
for those of you who don't know), Which
means I have no meds, which means I'm
stuck between endless cycles of
depression and bouncing off the walls
with glee for no reason type emotions.
Thus my pretty much non communication.  I
have no wish to inflict my moods on
others.  Bad enough I gotta suffer
through them.

Anyway, *hugs* to all.
