copy machine jams
"FEED ME!! FEED ME MORE TONER!!"
A grumpy machine

only angry calls
from parents of college kids-
FAFSA worries them

thirty minutes left
until i have to lock up
oh look... twenty-two

pretending to work
i sip chai tea and draw
when no one's looking

what luck to sit on
my butt all day and draw. it's
a dream come true. w007!1

just because you can post, doesn't mean you should.

In Response to AsphaltBuffet (#14140):

Okay, sure, there's no compulsion. But if one is trapped at work, more than thirty minutes away from the nearest beer, then a few frustrated haikus seem justified.

Besides, D* mentioned her butt. That deserves a smile :-)

Liberate D*'s butt! Free butt!

In Response to AsphaltBuffet (#14140):

Yes, Mom.

In Response to Teledildonix (#14141):

Somedays.. I just can't help but to love you.

In Response to delight (#14143):

Must be the pheromones-- or perhaps the secret subliminal commands from the evil poultry. Yeah, that's it, the evil chickens made you love me.

This week it has been
Over thirty-five degrees
Every single day.

Yet I sit here in
Thick fleece and fingerless gloves.
Damn airconditioner!

In Response to Teledildonix (#14144):

Mmmmm... pheromones.

In Response to Teledildonix (#14141):

You feeling all right man?

I can understand me being interested in Delight's butt, but I'd have thought you were more interested in, well, mine for instance.

But, yeah, I agree. Delight's little haiku protest made me smile - the butt was just an added bonus. *grin* Certainly as a thread starter it is far better than, say, "Look an obvious reference! And I spotted it!"

Cheers,
Graham

I think that there are probably some studies I'm too lazy to look for that prove that gay men seem to have this effect on women. Or maybe it was just a song.

In Response to Grimicus (#14149):

It's cause of the poetry.

Which is in motion.

In Response to albionsoft (#14147):

I just enjoy any opportunity to exclaim, "Free butt!"-- as long as i'm in the company of people who like (to) free butt.

And besides: as charming, honest, and sweet as she(?) may appear here, i have to take her(?) word that she(?) is who she(?) says she(?) is. On the Internet, mature gentlemen have been known to pretend to be lovely ladies, and vice versa. [A misogynist Palm Pilot [goats.com] is quite an intriguing concept.]

Most people here were too cowardly, or lazy, or indifferent to bother providing any evidence of their superficial attributes [goats.com], such as gender and comeliness.

And let's not pick on people for starting conversations about obvious references... even if they are the sort of people who refuse [goats.com] to answer my private e-mails after three sincere attempts at jovial chit-chat.

Well, perhaps i shouldn't whine, because i'll confess that my attempted chit-chat did include vague allusions to butt, free or otherwise; and they might be the sort of people who are uncomfortable around such discussions, even when they're completely abstract and remote.

You appear to have a handsome patch of face on your avatar. Perhaps your free butt is similarly agreeable.

In Response to Teledildonix (#14151):

You're truly one of a kind. You spread the love around as freely as every straight man on this forum is screaming for delight's butt to be, and even help us along the way to imagine what it would be like for it to be as free as we are screaming (ah... ah... yes, that is what I meant... ?). Truly a gentleman I say.

Phillip should stop whatever he is doing and concentrate on hooking these forums up to an online-beverage-ordering system so I can buy this man a drink... and an extra couple of doubles for Delight's lovely free butt while I'm there.

In Response to tynic (#14145):

Damn Madonna and Cyndi Lauper!

You could give the aircon to me. My work one has been busted since Friday and And the humidity has not dropped below 85%.

What I wouldn't give to be able to wear fingerless gloves!

In Response to unFalln (#14154):

Fingerless gloves seem to be so limited in their usefulness outside of certain specific occupations. And in some instances, they might just get in the way-- especially those situations where you really need to keep your nails filed [goats.com].

In Response to unFalln (#14153):

Free butt?

And your mind will follow?

In Response to zamphir (#14150):

Was Thomas Dolby gay? or just really happy, and blind?

In Response to tynic (#14145):

Oh yeah, celsius?
That's our temp in farenheit.
Quit yer damn whining.

I think you know where
You can stick that fleece of yours
Kick the thermostat.

In Response to Teledildonix (#14151):

Perhaps your free butt is similarly agreeable.

While my butt is terribly agreeable, if I may be so immodest, it is, I suspect, anything but free, in any sense of the word.

I may have to check with the wife.

Cheers,
Graham

In Response to Teledildonix (#14155):

I find that fingerless hands seem to be more limited in their usefulness.

In Response to unFalln (#14154):

You're welcome to it. The internal / external discrepency is throwing my thermo-regulation seriously out of whack. I've started putting jumpers on at 30 degrees (that's 86 to you aliens).

Quit yer damn whining.

Pttthhhhh!

In Response to deerboy (#14161):

Perhaps. But then again, for those instances in which the manicure is an issue, they could be even more-- ummm-- handy, if you get my point.

In Response to Teledildonix (#14163):

Presumably, only if fingerless also translated to 'lowerknuckleless', since otherwise I can't see a significant advantage. Well, apart from that whole fingernail thing, which is precisely what you were talking about. Never mind. I'll shut up now.

In Response to tynic (#14164):

Oh, you may be right. But i was clumsily trying to insinuate a scandalous bit of innuendo, which may have been sufficiently subtle to avoid detection on anyone's radar, except maybe Zamphir's.

In Response to Teledildonix (#14165):

Are you trying to show off your horrible fennel habit again?

I keep telling you that it's a disgusting habit that nobody wants to hear about, and that what you do with otherwise useless weeds in the privacy of your own home should stay there.

In Response to tynic (#14162):

I don't understand it. Canberra came up this morning on the weather with an outlook of 35 tomorrow and 38 on Friday.

Canberra???
Warm????
Huh???

Damn all you low humidity-liver-inerers.
