Thread: As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner

  1. #31
    The cat's out of the bag now.

    Isn't that a little self-deprecating?

    But, to answer your question, I guess theoretically you could turn the totem pole inside-out.

    But only in the Bizarro world.

    self-deprecating? You mean you actually care about your ego?

    I guess I might too, if I weren't so inebriated, but as it is, all I care about is eggo. Waffles sound really good right now.

    BTW if we take the totem pole, and deconstruct it, then reconstruct it into 2 totem poles, mathematical-wise, perhaps one of them could be inside out.

    I was talking about you. I interpreted what you said as 'I am at the bottom of the totem pole, I can't be taken down any farther'.

    If the totem-pole was big enough, it would collapse in on itself anyway.

    Mmmm . . . waffles, tastey waffles.

    so you assume that I care about my ego perhaps? I like to tell people that I'm as bad as it gets, while holding my own opinion of myself ('cuz what other people think about me is none of my business).

    True about the totem-pole collapsing on itself. Poor totem-pole.

    Yeah, waffles, maple syrup (lots of maple syrup), and (for the omnivores out there) sausage (also smothered maple syrup)...

    Some time I need to watch the Simpsons where Homer makes space waffles and write down the recipe.

    yes sloe, you are absolutely right. Bad Azoic! BTW: How does sloegin differ from not sloe gin?

    Sloe gin, is made for sloe berries, they are like plums; vs. regular gin which is made from the juniper berry. It is some vile stuff.

    oh, ok. Thanks for that clarification. What does sloegin mix well with?

    I've yet to find anything, although when you are in a box, it doesn't really matter. I would stick with regular gin.

    Yes.

    If you really want to get the job done, try some poteen.

  14. #44
    tell us about your box, sloegin; tell us a story
    (impossible to sleep otherwise)

    I need more info; what do you want this story to be about? Other than my box, because let's face it, it is not all that exciting.
