Speaking of scary things, last night I was sitting outside a PizzaMetr0 with Ben & Nick, and suddently Nick gets this weird expression on his face and tells me to not look behind me. So I trusted him because I can get freaked out pretty easily, but wondered what the hell I wasn't seeing. So once these two folks were way down the block he said the coast was clear. This woman was carrying her son's snake, and she had passed right behind my chair. Snakes in public = NOT ACCEPTABLE.

"snake"

Jordan, Thursday, 23 August 2007 18:17 (seventeen years ago) link

WTF, I just got a spam call on my cell phone from motherfucking Pizza Hut.

Jordan, Thursday, 23 August 2007 18:18 (seventeen years ago) link

"I noticed we haven't made you a pizza in awhile"

Jordan, Thursday, 23 August 2007 18:18 (seventeen years ago) link

HAHA that has got to be illegal in some way

kenan, Thursday, 23 August 2007 18:20 (seventeen years ago) link

I think if I got that phone call, I would never order pizza from them again. And if I was feeling like a special busybody, I'd write a letter explaining why.

kenan, Thursday, 23 August 2007 18:24 (seventeen years ago) link

Next time I order pizza from a chain, which will be never, I'm definitely giving a fake number.

kenan, Thursday, 23 August 2007 19:19 (seventeen years ago) link

You can have them! In fact, other people can have them - AT HOME IN CAGES.

KitCat, Thursday, 23 August 2007 19:19 (seventeen years ago) link

so you don't have to see them?

Yeah, I feel that way about Greeks.

kenan, Thursday, 23 August 2007 19:20 (seventeen years ago) link

Yes. I've seen enough snakes to last a lifetime.

KitCat, Thursday, 23 August 2007 19:23 (seventeen years ago) link

kenan, Thursday, 23 August 2007 19:24 (seventeen years ago) link

Oooooh wait, the snake stories are coming back to me now. Kenan, she kind of IS.

Laurel, Thursday, 23 August 2007 19:25 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't know that I've heard this one!

kenan, Thursday, 23 August 2007 19:25 (seventeen years ago) link

KitCat, Thursday, 23 August 2007 19:26 (seventeen years ago) link

kenan, Thursday, 23 August 2007 19:27 (seventeen years ago) link

JuliaA, Thursday, 23 August 2007 19:28 (seventeen years ago) link

And a dead horse. And a rotted floor...?

Laurel, Thursday, 23 August 2007 19:41 (seventeen years ago) link

That's what I was hoping for! Thanks!

La Lechera, Thursday, 23 August 2007 19:42 (seventeen years ago) link

I think someone should come out with a gag gift called "Jesuspirin" which is really just a bunch of sugar pills, but you give them to someone who's really stressed out and needs the soothing pleasure of Jesus in his/her life. They could even be jellybeans.

"Feeling low?"
"Actually, yes. I don't know why I'm so blue"
"Have a Jesuspirin!"
"Oh Carol, you always know how to make me laugh!"

La Lechera, Thursday, 23 August 2007 19:44 (seventeen years ago) link

Happy birthday Amanda! I'd revive your birthday thread except I don't know that anyone else on ILX really knows who you are, haha. :_)

jaymc, Thursday, 23 August 2007 19:45 (seventeen years ago) link

You're right, they don't. Thank goodness.

La Lechera, Thursday, 23 August 2007 19:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Also, I had my eyes dilated a little over an hour ago, and holy moly, the brightness of the computer screen is kind of freaking me out.

Its the end of the world here in Deerfield folks. Rain so hard you can't see five feet out of the window, funnel clouds, trees blown parallel to the ground. Fun.

jon /via/ chi 2.0, Thursday, 23 August 2007 20:36 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah -- I took the dogs out just in time! 30 seconds after I got in the rain started pounding on the windows. It's crazy dark.

La Lechera, Thursday, 23 August 2007 20:37 (seventeen years ago) link

Who took the dogs out? WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF
