On twitter, I think I may have either propositioned JenJen and ABL or admitted to a love child with either one of them. I’m not sure, because it is the liquor talking.
WOO FRIDAY!

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?
Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.
Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.
The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.
If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.
We still have time to mess this up!
Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.
Optimism opens the door to great things.
And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.
Why did Dr. Oz lose? well, according to the exit polls, it’s because Fetterman won.
Good lord, these people are nuts.
Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll
Let’s not be the monsters we hate.
That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.
Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.
Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.
Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.
They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Oh, you’re fine, John. Nothing to worry about.

I was about to ask you about what happened with ABL last night, that you apologized for, and why didn’t she say no?
JGabriel
John Cole @ Top:
In Vino Veritas.
So, Jen? ABL? You two wanna share anything with the rest of us?
Edited to Add: Congratulations, all of you, on the uh … well, whatever you’re calling this apparently multi-pronged relationship.

JenJen
Pretty sure it was a little bit of both. Can I make you another drink?
As I said in the other thread, I definitely don’t remember laughing this hard during the last global economic meltdown. Twitter is killin’ it all over the place tonight, but your shit is outta control awesome. #TFY

Watching you two on twitter is kind of like watching the latest episode of the Balloon Juice soap opera.
J.W. Hamner
I would like to point out it’s not even midnight yet. Not that I’m judging since my girlfriend went to bed at 9:30 and I am currently trying to remember how to play Blood Bowl.

As I said on Twitter, John should can the blogging because he’s far more entertaining in 140-character bursts.
Jack Bauer
I want to drink a beer with John Cole.

All of the above. AND YOU’RE SHOUTING. You’re almost as funny as Erick son of Erick’s tweets. #TFY

Watching you two on twitter is kind of like watching the latest episode of the Balloon Juice soap opera.
Wait, there’s a Balloon Juice soap opera that’s a different entity than Balloon Juice itself?

Blackouts are welcome respites from the insanity of the day.
Comrade Luke
Put it this way: I follow Cole using a Twitter list I call “entertainment”.
I think it’s his rightful place.
Kane
Wasn’t this an Anthony Weiner tweet just before he took out his camera? :D
Omnes Omnibus
@Kane: If Cole tweets naked mopping pics, I am out of here.
JenJen
@Libby: Almost!! Erick’s just slayin’ me tonight, albeit it sober (that’s up for debate) and unintentionally (settled law).

This is some high-quality entertainment, people!

@JenJen: settled law indeed. I don’t follow him on Twitter but everybody’s been retweeting the best stuff. Seriously thinking I busted a rib laughing.

I see what you did there.
That’s either REALLY kinky or a personal problem which calls for the skills of a REALLY good surgeon.

does anyone have a link to this supposed tottering twittering?
Brother Shotgun of Sweet Reason
@Jay in Oregon:
Never checked out Twitter before (Get off my lawn!!) but that was definitely worth the effort to introduce myself. What a hoot!
Hmmm…I can see how Twitter would be better with a “Mobile Device” instead of an ancient flip phone. (Did I say get the f*** off my lawn you damn kids!!??!!?)
BSoB + …5?
Omnes Omnibus
@Yutsano: Sounds complicated.
Brother Shotgun of Sweet Reason
@suzanne: Or maybe he’s really a shark.
Omnes Omnibus
@joeyess: Try this. I don’t completely get the whole twitter thing but this is what I found.

Oh my. Returned from twitter safari and found Cole drunk as a monkey.

You see – this is the kind of thing Santorum and Bryan Fischer tried to warn us gay marriage would lead to.
Or wait – I guess Tunch would have to be involved to satisfy their prophecies…

OT — who gives a fuck, open thread, cole with his pants around his knees chasing party guests, twitter coos from cole on display for anyone to see, so here goes — I was hanging out over at McMegan’s today, baiting the breathless and my oh my are they in a tizzy over her post on the downgrade. Of course when I pointed out that she was playing the “both sides do it” game and using the wayback machine to do it, the flying monkeys descend on me like I was flat on my back like the scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz. Of course, it was all a feckless attempt on their part — taxes stifle hiring, america’s job producers, blah blah blah……. it took about 20 minutes of goading before I was labeled a nazi/commie obamabot then McMegan herself took to the twitter feed to prove that I and my attitude were the real problems in DC and I was twittering proof of her supposition. I finally informed her that I live in Kansas and she lives, well, where she lives. Minions abound at that hellhole of hers. Wow.
joeyess
@Omnes Omnibus: perhaps I should have spelled it Monkees.
Omnes Omnibus
@joeyess: You are from Kansas and you are using a Wizard of Oz metaphor. Hmm…
joeyess
Today, I googled The Fonzi of Freedom images and look what I found.
joeyess
@Omnes Omnibus: what can I say? I’m from Kansas. Well, actually I’m an Iowa transplant to Kansas, but I rather like the metaphor and use it often. I’ve never been offended when people do so…… at least they don’t say — “Ahhhh, Brownback country!”.
Elie
@Omnes Omnibus:
Y’all are killing me — LOL!!!!
Just got back from dinner with friends and picking up late on this very very funny thread.
So ABL AND JenJen… ok…and nude pics of John with mops and other kitchen appliances (whoa, be careful there with that food processor, John)…
There are a number of erotic recipes that can be made using a variety of common food products of a creamy consistency — or chocolate flavor.
joeyess
I closed my eyes shut tight when I read this first part of the last line of your comment…
….then I brazened thru and found myself pleasantly relieved that you weren’t going where I thought you were when I closed my eyes. Phewww!
Yutsano
@Omnes Omnibus: Only as complicated as you wish it to be. But three wives is the norm. Just expect those wives to have other husbands to boot.
Omnes Omnibus
@Yutsano: Dude, if that is not complicated, I do not know what is.
joeyess
back to the Fonzi of Freedom link. If you google Fonzi of Freedom Images you get this link. Notice: Not one picture of Gillespie. Not one. But Tunch is there. Hahahahahahahahaaaaa!!!
Omnes Omnibus
@joeyess: And a cocker spaniel.
JenJen
@Yutsano: Polymarriage or whatever aside, wanna see Lord Stanley-puppeh rocking the hell outta his Red Wings dog tag? OK!
Omnes Omnibus
Per twitter, Cole finally snapped. It was inevitable.
Cliff in NH
@joeyess:
LOL.
ronin122
Based on your twitter JC, I don’t know whether I seriously want whatever it is you’re intaking, or seriously want to avoid it. I assume both sides do it, and it’s all good news for McCain.
joeyess
@Omnes Omnibus: no. top row center.
joeyess
@Cliff in NH: I know. Great isn’t it?
JenJen
@Omnes Omnibus: He’s also
thrown himself atpolitely flirted with four women in under two hours. I’m pretty impressed! #multitaskingOmnes Omnibus
@joeyess: The cocker is bottom row left. I wasn’t denying Tunch’s presence; I was noting that the cocker was there as well, but Nicky isn’t.
joeyess
Wow! Is he drinking Absinthe?
Cassidy
A drunk Cole is making me feel better.
+ lost count
Omnes Omnibus
@JenJen: That is what you kids call politely flirting?
joeyess
@Omnes Omnibus: That’s because he doesn’t measure up to either of them in terms of character and wit.
And I don’t even know the Cocker Spaniel. Also, too. I’m drunk as a Monkee.
Cassidy
@JenJen: I was honestly starting to wonder which team Cole played for, but I’m pretty impressed with his selections. Hard to fake it when drunk.
Omnes Omnibus
@joeyess: I have had absinthe, proper European absinthe, and it doesn’t do that. That is demon rum. Hey, I’m drinking rum too.
Cain
haha.. Cole.. too funny dude! I just added JenJen to my twitter thingee.
Yutsano
@JenJen: ZOMG PUPPEH!! He’s growing into his ears too!!
@Omnes Omnibus: I may need to imbibe some, since the logic is clear to me. Monogamy is overrated anyway.
Oh man. You may need shock therapy.
Omnes Omnibus
@Yutsano: It can’t hurt. Until tomorrow.
ETA: I have been out of the game for eight years.
joeyess
@Omnes Omnibus: is proper European absinthe the same as the absinthe purchased in Portugal?
That’s the only kind I’ve had and it certainly had a very strange effect on me. I was superman one moment and desiring a quiet hot bath the next only to find that I was superman again…… everything with literally a yellow-hued, fuzzy, impressionist artist view of the world. It was weird.
JenJen
@joeyess: You needed to scroll down a little more maybe. :-)
@Yutsano: I’m not so sure about that growing-into-his-ears part. Another angle!
joeyess
@JenJen: hahahahahah… I was afraid to dig to deep. I see that my instincts are correct, so that’s a plus.
Omnes Omnibus
@joeyess: That sounds like the stuff. I want to find some old absinthe from when it made people really crazy and shit.
Yutsano
@Omnes Omnibus: I am of the blessed of the no hangover. It could be because I’m a fourth Eastern European. Thanks Mom! I’ll call her tomorrow.
Yeah. I have all kinds of advice for this ranging from the bizarre to the sappy. I can also just shut up and let you figure things out on your own.
@JenJen: Those ears are Tbogg bait. Just sayin’.
joeyess
I don’t see anymore cole on the twitter machine. I fully expect in next tweet to be something along the lines of
In 140 characters or less, of course.
Omnes Omnibus
@Yutsano: I think I’ll be okay. I can be a charming m-f if I chose to be (if I do say so myself). I’ll just have to remember to do it.
ETA: Of course, I am drinking rum and listening to Roxy Music’s Avalon right now, so god only knows what is going to happen.
joeyess
@Omnes Omnibus: had a friend in the army. he took a day trip now and again over there and would bring some back. I felt terrible the next day, however and that was when I was in my late 20’s early 30’s.
joeyess
Oh, shit……..
Here’s the latest from Cole on the Twitter Pub Crawl:
It’s good to know that he ain’t goin emo on us anytime soon.
Omnes Omnibus
@joeyess: I had it in Paris, last summer…
Cassidy
Cut myself. Damn Corona and no bottle opener.
Omnes Omnibus
@Cassidy: That’s why you have teeth. Christ, don’t they teach anything in today’s army?
Yutsano
@Cassidy: If you’re feeling adventurous you could sabre them open with a k-bar…
@Omnes Omnibus: Apparently absinthe should only be drunk in Paris. On the Seine. At dusk. Anything else is cheating yourself.
(wanna go?)
You can have that question back if you so choose Counselor.
John Cole
Feh. You people.
I can’t feel my toes.
JenJen
@Omnes Omnibus: Oh gawd. “Avalon” is one of my favorite albums ever ever [i]ever.[/i] PLUS rum?? Look out!
Yutsano
@John Cole:
:: ponders the possibilities ::
Nah. Too many directions to go in.
@JenJen: Oh lawd. Not you too? Wifey has been bad enough!
Comrade Luke
@joeyess:
I have this vision of him hosting a party with people who have NO IDEA that he’s posting on twitter. it’s like a play-by-play of the night.
Hilarious.
Omnes Omnibus
@Yutsano: I have a gig working on the WI elections this next week and then a job interview later in the week. After that, sure.
@John Cole:
Whiner.
@JenJen: I have moved on to early Blondie ( X Offender, Rip Her to Shreds, etc.) to avoid getting maudlin.
joeyess
@John Cole: have you been stirring mojitos with your feet again, John?
joeyess
@Comrade Luke: hee hee hee!!
Omnes Omnibus
Cole’s latest:
Yutsano
@Omnes Omnibus: My probation ends in five weeks. And I’m stocking up on the leave balances. I was contemplating Oz to go couch-surfing on FH #1’s territory, but I’m pretty malleable.
(wait that sounded bad. fuck it.)
joeyess
@Omnes Omnibus:
She’s vicariously feeling her master’s inevitable pain.
Just think, Cole will have to clean that up in the morning while the very thought of food makes him wretch. Maybe Lily can help him in this endeavor by cleaning it up for him while he watches. ewww.
Cassidy
@Omnes Omnibus: Oh we’re all about our multi-tools these days.
@Yutsano: All my hardware is packed up. I finaled out of the Army today.
joeyess
I’m sorry, John. It’s just that as I get older I take a strange pleasure in the misery of those who’ve made the very same mistakes as I.
Omnes Omnibus
@joeyess: I had to laugh, you sick bastard.
@Yutsano: I don’t care what people say, I love that city (Paris) and the Parisians aren’t any ruder than New Yorkers. There, I said it.
@Cassidy:
In my day, grumble, grumble, something about when
Christ was a corporal, brown shoe army, we used real goddamned aiming circles none of this GPS crap…. [fade out]
joeyess
@Omnes Omnibus: Why, yes. Yes I am.
Yutsano
@Cassidy:
Then why the fuck are you not listening to the sage advice of Uncle Jimmy?
@Omnes Omnibus: J’adore Paris. And I’ve never been. Almost, but the bus driver stopped fourteen kilometers of the French-German border. When we figured out where we were we of course encouraged him to keep going. No such luck however.
joeyess
what is this “multi-tools” you speak of? Is this some euphemism for the teabagger caucus in the House?
Omnes Omnibus
Listening to Die Young Stay Pretty.
Cassidy
So indulge me my pity party, but I’m drunk and in a barracks room by myself. I’m kinda desperate for human contact. I know that Cassidy is an asshole and not a pleasant person to be around. I’ve never been hurt by people feeling that way. I am what I am. But “SGT Cassidy” was awesome. Soldiers wanted to work for me. The COC always wanted me to be in charge of shit because it got done right. And today, I’m no longer SGT Cassidy. Just Cassidy. I got a DD 214 and a “good luck”. I want to be celebrating, but I can’t stop tearing up. I know it sounds stupid, so sorry.
joeyess
Cole’s latest:
Is he quoting Jim Morrison poetry now?
joeyess
@Cassidy: It sounds like you’re suffering from a sort of separation anxiety and the loss of friends and community. Hang in there. You’ll be fine.
All my best,
j.
Yutsano
@Cassidy: If you’re gonna have a pity party this is the place to do it. And as someone who has sparred occasionally with you I say: put your arm on the table and let’s see whose hand hits first. And there is no shame in losing to a somewhat muscular but otherwise pretty sweet gay guy.
Omnes Omnibus
@Cassidy: Ok, maybe this will help… As ex-1LT Omnibus, I say buck the fuck up SGT. The transition is weird. You were part of something big and significant; you had a well defined role and you were respected for doing it (I assume) well. Take pride in it and move on. OTOH, my grandfather, who served in WWII, said he used come home from work and go down to some trails by the river and just run until he collapse in order to burn off the extra energy he had after coming home from the war. Everyone goes through it. Think of it as being like basic or jump school, another test for you. I hope that helps a little. Cheers.
BTW what was your MOS?
Omnes Omnibus
Good god, Cole is making moves again.
Can’t fault the boy’s taste though. She looks cute.
John Cole
@Omnes Omnibus: Relax. I’m willing to bet that nothing will happen as a result of any tweeting.
Although the fantasy of me as a twitter romeo is kind of cool.
Yutsano
@John Cole:
Adjusted that fer ya.
asiangrrlMN
@Cassidy: Dude. To whom can you maunder if not late-night BJ? Let it all out.
@Yutsano: Excuse me, what? I’ve been bad enough with what?
And, hey, late-night bitchez. How y’all be?
Omnes Omnibus
@John Cole: Hey, I am impressed with your moves. I am trying to learn how to get back into the swing of dating. Will you be my Yoda?
joeyess
@John Cole: long time reader and commenter here. follow me on twitter, dude. I know Laffy from Political Carnival and PZ Meyers is aware of my work as well.

Cassidy
@Omnes Omnibus: Combat Medic. That’s my reason #2 for getting out. I couldn’t do another tour like 2005 in Baghdad. My unit is currently in Afghanistan. I came home pretty messed up and knew that another tour like that would be bad.
@Yutsano: I am ashamed to say I haven’t done pt in a month. I can see myself getting smaller and I’m pissed. You’d win hands down
Omnes Omnibus
@asiangrrlMN: I am assuming he is talking about the Roxy Music thing from earlier. I could be wrong. It has happened before.
Yutsano
@asiangrrlMN:
Ape. Need I say more? :)
@Omnes Omnibus: Learn the ways of the Twitter, you must.
(BTW everything Yoda ever said is grammatically correct.)
@Cassidy:
There’s an opening here. Get back into the habit of working out. You’re cutting off a lot of old ties, sticking to at least something familiar will help.
Endorphins. Also. Too.
Omnes Omnibus
@Cassidy: I was FA. As far as how much you can give, there have been studies looking into how much combat time soldiers can tolerate since WWI. If I am not mistaken, following WWII, they determined that approximately 60 days of combat, all at once, spread over parts of days, etc., is about it. You have probably given all you can.
JenJen
@Omnes Omnibus: You might want to see if any of this furious casting produces a fish before you cut him a check! I’m just sayin’ is all.
Omnes Omnibus
@Yutsano: Must I? Fuck.
joeyess
@Omnes Omnibus: Yes, Cole…. take it to him!
Omnes Omnibus
@JenJen: Oh for fuck’s sake, I was humoring the drunk. Random casting was never my style. I don’t intend to adopt it now.
ETA: No anger intended at JenJen with this. Just sayin’. Have moved on to Patti Smith musically.
Yutsano
@JenJen: If one does not cast the line, one does not catch the fish. Or something.
My next three day weekend is Labor Day. Fuck all.
asiangrrlMN
@Yutsano: I thought so, but how does that relate to JenJen and rum and Roxy Music?
@Omnes Omnibus: You iz wrong. I am not obsessed with the Roxy Music. I iz confuzzled. It’s good to see you, though. I’ve missed you.
handy
@John Cole:
Sorry Romeo, it’s not the pretzels.
Yutsano
@asiangrrlMN: OO was discussing flirting and JenJen came in with commonalities and it looked interesting and…
Awww fuck it. I should just go downtown and pick up a drunk Dawg.
Omnes Omnibus
@asiangrrlMN: No prob with the confuzzlement. I have been following you and your adventures on FB. Congrats, right?
Omnes Omnibus
@Yutsano: Have fun and good luck.
Yutsano
@Omnes Omnibus: Ahh, I’m settled in for the night. I just haven’t done a GBCW in awhile. :)
Fucen Pneumatic Fuck Wrench Tarmal
when is the baby shower?
i’ve always wanted to go to one, and this blog might be my best chance.
Omnes Omnibus
@Yutsano: Well, damn. I hoped someone might go out and get some tonight. FWIW I have moved on to Madness; if I announce I am listening to Leonard Cohen, please organize an intervention.
BTW how did the gyros work out?
Yutsano
@Omnes Omnibus:
Quite delicious, although amazing enough there were leftovers. My real score was the co-worker who lived in Greece for awhile. She was very enthusiastic at the results. She also asked if I was Greek. I had to disappoint her.
Omnes Omnibus
It is Grace Jones time. Pull Up to the Bumper Baby.
ETA: Best rhythm section ever.
asiangrrlMN
@Yutsano: Ah! Gotcha. Now all is explained. And, I hope you do pick up a Hawt Dawg pretty damn soon!
@Omnes Omnibus: Yes. Thanks! I’m sorry for your own situation. Hopefully, this year will be fantabulously better for you.
P.S. I will be getting some in two weeks and a day! Woooot!
Omnes Omnibus
@asiangrrlMN: I am as okay as I can be in the situation. Don’t worry about me. Je suis un survivor.
ETA: Who knows. I could be going to Paris with Yutsano and we could try to separate couples for really illicit purposes. The world is full of possibilities.
Cassidy
I guess in some ways it’s funny. I admire a lot of people that comment here. You’re scientists and artists and professors and grow things; but me, I’m good for one thing and that’s combat. I’m a damn good NCO and an outstanding Medic. I saved peoples lives. And now that’s over. I’m a prick. I know that. A lot of you guys think that and rightfully so. But the worst part of introspection was when I was back and dealing with real life and all I could think of was going back. I read “On Killing” some time ago and realized just how hard wired I had become. I mean, most of you guys are brilliant and my piece is that I can shoot someone in the face. On one hand that’s horrifying, on the other, that’s what I know how to do.
But oh well. Thank you for indulging the drunk guy. I needed some reassurance and some time to snivel. Thank you.
Omnes Omnibus
@Cassidy: Years ago, at Benning, I was on a patrol execise with a guy who stepped into a hole in a swamp and sank up to his shoulders and he said something that fits here: Fuck me to tears. Seriously, put on some cheerful music and try to relax.
Cassidy
OTOH, my cats, that I snuck into the barracks, are perched on top of my clean clothes and being incredibly cute in their sleepiness.
asiangrrlMN
@Omnes Omnibus: Oh hell yeah. That would be hella fun. And you could blog about it. I admire your strength, OO.
@Cassidy: You’re ruthless and you get shit done. That will be handy in the civilian world–as your ability to save lives. Buck up. You’ll find your way.
P.S. Thank dog for the kittehs.
Omnes Omnibus
@Cassidy: There you go. I am allergic to the fuckers and would have tried to fuck your shit up if I found cats in a barracks. So there.
Omnes Omnibus
@asiangrrlMN: FWIW Mme OO and I had nearly 8 great years together. I prefer to look at it that way.
Cassidy
@Omnes Omnibus: Im good. Just needed someone, other than my wife, to tell me it’ll be alright. Thank you.
Yutsano
@Cassidy: I know this is a drunk rant, but I’m gonna pick it apart anyway. Indulge me.
You’re a healer dude. Whether you see it or not, that takes a helluva lot of compassion. And the nice part is you don’t have to stop being a healer. Get a degree then become a medical assistant. Or a physical therapist. You could beat people up for a living!
Yup. But you’re our prick. I never doubted whose side you’re on.
Time don’t work like that. You can choose to stay in the past, or move to the future. There really is no in between. You do have choices though. Now is not the time to analyze them cause you’re drunk and therefore not rational. But you do got options here.
Omnes Omnibus
@Cassidy: Okay. We have had a disagreement or two in the past, but that doesn’t mean I don’t get a bit of where you are coming from tonight. Don’t worry about things tonight.
Omnes Omnibus
Oh good god, I am now listening to Edith Piaf.
asiangrrlMN
@Omnes Omnibus: That takes strength and a positive attitude. I admire it. I’m glad you can look at it that way.
ETA: And, yeah, you’re gonna be fine.
Omnes Omnibus
@asiangrrlMN: What are my options? That or collapsing into a puddle. It’s Johnny Hallyday now. Noir, C’est Noir.
ETA: In keeping with the army theme that has appeared, there is a saying “FIDO” or “Fuck it, Drive on.” The concept works.
Yutsano
@Omnes Omnibus: For fuck’s sake man, why not just tear out your brain through your nose with a grapefruit spoon? You need more rum.
@asiangrrlMN: I want you to consider: a year ago you would have never expressed an attitude like that. A simian is a good influence on you methinks.
Cassidy
The only person with a funnier Twitter feed is Mayhem Miller.
Omnes Omnibus
@Yutsano: The Sex Pistols are playing now. Anarchy in the UK
asiangrrlMN
@Omnes Omnibus: You just named your options. You are choosing the more positive one. I chalk that up in the win column.
@Yutsano: Yes. A very good influence, indeed.
Omnes Omnibus
@asiangrrlMN: Yeah, but I guess that my thought was those weren’t really options. I could only make one choice. But you are right about the general concept.
Yutsano
@Omnes Omnibus: We need a good American antidote here.
@asiangrrlMN: Or an antidote more wifey’s style.
Omnes Omnibus
This may be useful for everyone.
Yutsano
Oops. I haz overlinkage. I can haz freedumb naow plz?
asiangrrlMN
@Omnes Omnibus: Well, that’s because you’re tough. And, the Sex Pistol/Muppets mash-up is hilarious.
@Yutsano: I read that as overshrinkage….
Omnes Omnibus
@Yutsano: Who do you think is awake, with the keys, and sober enough to fix it?
Omnes Omnibus
@asiangrrlMN: Thanks. OTOH I never had to deal with a visit from a Taiwanese mom.
Cassidy
@Omnes Omnibus: My wife hates it when I get in the mood for Sex Pistols. Lately it’s been nothing bug Misfits, though.
Omnes Omnibus
@Cassidy: I am onto the Violent Femmes now. Who could object? I even have stories.
asiangrrlMN
@Omnes Omnibus: Hahahhahhha! That’s a good one!
And, yeah. It’s tough. But, I’m getting tougher as well.
BillinGlendaleCA (aka 10amla)
I’m always late to the party.
The curse of living LaLa Land. Sigh.
Omnes Omnibus
@asiangrrlMN: Yeah, I’ve gotten that impression. Primates might help. If you know what I mean.
Omnes Omnibus
It ain’t quite done yet, so join in.
Omnes Omnibus
@BillinGlendaleCA (aka 10amla): It ain’t quite done yet, so join in.
ETA: Messed up the reply on the first try.
asiangrrlMN
@Omnes Omnibus: And I think that I do! But, seriously, yes. The ape has been a major help with the tough factor. He’s teaching me how to beat my chest mightily.
Omnes Omnibus
@asiangrrlMN: One assumes that is a euphemism, the chest beating, that is.
Yutsano
@asiangrrlMN:
Ohh…that door is such a sweet wide open target…but I believe I will eschew. For now.
@Omnes Omnibus: AL should be about around this time. I got liberated so someone must be.
That could be, umm, entertaining.
asiangrrlMN
@Omnes Omnibus: Ha! Metaphor, even.
And with that, I’m out. Night, all. See y’all on the flip side.
@Yutsano: Dood. You posted the same link twice. And, go ahead. You know you want to! I’ll check back in the morn.
Night, bitchez.

Cassidy you did amazing things. You will find your way. Im still looking for my way and I haven’t done anything in comparison to your deeds. The world needs tough bastards also too.

@Omnes Omnibus: The day I have to bring a guy home to meet my parents is a day I’m dreading. Some of it is my dad. More of it is my mom. My dad will just quietly let me know if he approves. My mom will go over every little flaw or error she observed and lecture me on it for two hours. It’s not the thing that’s keeping me untied down (those reasons are more complex) but it’s a decent reason to stay away for awhile until I’m sure he can handle it.
Unless the guy is a Marine. Then my dad will flip.

@Yutsano: Is your mom the French-Canadian in your background? Mine is.
Yutsano
@Omnes Omnibus: Dad is French-Canadian-Jewish-Native American, mom is German/Slovenian. As attested by my surname.
Omnes Omnibus
@Yutsano: Jesus, wow. So the mom thing is not a French-Canadian thing… it is a mom thing.
Yutsano
@Omnes Omnibus: I thank the FSM every single day my mom is not Jewish. This of course means there were two people at their wedding, but hey, my dad bought my mom at a “slave auction” at a youth group fundraiser just from seeing her legs and as he says he’s still paying for it. :)

Good night all. Sleep well. I leave you with this.

Sorta reminds me of when i brought my 1st gf home to meet my mom, end up with a lecture. Mom never quite got the interracial thing.

This has been the funniest thread I have read in months. So sad I missed it when it was happening. Cole, you’re teh Twitter king! That is all.

@Cassidy: I don’t know if you’ll see this as I am posting rather late ( or early?) but from a long life with many changes in it I would say that the feelings are there for a reason. Go ahead & feel them without necessarily understanding and let them run their course. It’s the better way in the long run.

Heh. I am SO following Cole and ABL. Normally I make a point of not following people who have no idea I exist because it seems sad and desperate- but Cole is just too made of win, and ABL’s made a whole frontpage article off my comments on chaos w.r.t climate change, so there’s respect there XD
Next they’ll recruit me as another BJ flying monkey, but for the time being I’ll just hang out watching them tweet ;)
jinxtigr on twitter for those making the whole collection XD

@Cassidy: Why don’t you sign up to be a paramedic? Or better yet, a helicopter paramedic with MercyFlight missions? You’ve already got the skills and experience, and if you’re missing the adrenaline-pumping feel of combat and the teamwork aspect, you can find them both in paramedic work.
