Where's everybody?

[Tannin]

I'm here.

 

[Tea]

You're boring.

 

[Tannin]

Tea! That's not very nice.

You're only saying that becaues you're young and stupid, and I'm mature and wise and sensible.

 

[Tea]

Nope. Nothing to do with your age and decreptitude. You're just boring.

 

[Tannin]

Nasty little ape.

 

[Tea]

Now now. No need to bring species into it.

 

[Tannin]

Well, you started it. You mentioned age.

 

[Tea]

No I didn't, you did.

Anyway, it's got nothing to do with age. It's just heredity. I was born a fun-loving people sort of ape that everybody loves to talk to, where you were born a grumpy old bore.

 

[Tannin]

You can't be born old.

 

[Tea]

You were. That's why you are so boring.

 

[Tannin]

Nonsense. It's just chemistry. You need to understand hormones. You have a young ape's body which is full of energy and stupidity hormones, and I have the advantage of stability and intelligence in a mature body.

 

[Tea]

Are you trying to say something, Tannin? Do I detect a subtext of "humans are superior to apes" or possibly "men are better than ... " ... er ... better than whatever I am? A subtle sneer there?

 

[Tannin]

No! Nothing to do with human vs ape. Or male - female either. It's just body chemistry.

 

[Tea]

So, according to you, if you and I were tpo magically swap bodies, I'd be the boring one and you'd suddenly be a fun-loving people person that everybody likes to talk to?

 

[Tannin]

Exactly.

 

[Tannin]

You agree?

 

[Tea]

Bahh, that's just nonsense.

 

[Tannin]

No, I'm fair dinkum. It's hormones. Read the literature. Happens to all of us. Any species.

 

[Tea]

Right. Let's put it to the test then. Let's swap bodies. Right now.

 

[Tannin]

Don't be stupid, you can't just swap bodies.

 

[Tea]

You'd be surprised what imaginary people ca

 

[Tannin]

n do if they put their minds to it.

 

[Tannin]

Yike! It worked!

 

[ddrueding]

That is because it's really Friday morning. I doubt you are very interesting on a Friday morning yourself.

 

[Bozo]

Really slow day. Everybody must be busy.

Bozo :joker:

 

[ddrueding]

I'm still sick. Sleeping in as long as I can before I leave for work (now).

 

[Handruin]

I've been preoccupied with other things going on in life so I've not had a lot of time to post lately.

 

[Tannin]

Itsz hard for me to pozt because of this stupid body. All the fingers are too long and it hasn't got proper nails and as for the toes they are hopeless! Anyway, I'm tired all the time.

 

[Handruin]

Tea has body-snatched again. Take a multivitamin to get it out of your system.

 

[Tannin]

I am Tea! Now I can't get out of this ztupid damn human body! You wouldn't believe how weak and spindly it iz. I can't even tear up telephone books. Tannin should exercise more.

 

[ddrueding]

I'm fairly worried about Merc. I dropped him an e-mail and didn't hear back. I want to respect his space, but if anyone has heard from him lately I would love to know he's OK.

[Platform]

Yikes! It worked!

 

[paugie]

As of a week ago, Merc was all right.

Ditto. I've been on the verge of making a post like this a gazillion times, but held back thinking I shouldn't intrude

 

[ddrueding]

Thanks paugie, that is all I needed to hear.

 

[Clocker]

I'm around. In mourning about having to start back to work on Monday after being off work 5 weeks with my son....but I'm around. Ironically, now that I'm going back to work, I will probably have a LOT more time to check SF! But, going back to work makes me want to go buy a lottery ticket. I wish I could stay home with my son full-time. At the same time, work represents a nice change. I'm torn. :-(

I too have been wondering were Merc. is. Maybe he got a little frustrated in the FairTax thread and needed to take a break.

[Bozo]

I think I'm the only one here all day :sad:

Bozo :joker:

 

[Stereodude]

Yes, you sure are!
