Truly one of the greatest feelings on this earth, as hopefully most of us Americans can attest to today. Alarm clock, what is that?

this is somewhat dulled when you stayed up to 4 am having random cybersex with strangers and talking to simon trife about failed clock shops.

i alwyas find alarm clocks are the BEST PART! When you've accidentally set the alarm and then it goes off, and you wake up, and realising that THERE'S NO WORK FOR THE DAY!!! and then go back to bed.

― ken c, Thursday, 27 November 2003 15:29 (twenty-one years ago)

We don't get the day off for Bonfire Night, nor do we stuff ourselves with luverly grub!

Boxing Day is just the day after Christmas - do you have to work that day?

Pantywaist Day I'll give you...

― smee (smee), Thursday, 27 November 2003 15:29 (twenty-one years ago)

sometimes yes we have to work on dec. 26

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 27 November 2003 15:30 (twenty-one years ago)

esp if you work retail.

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 27 November 2003 15:30 (twenty-one years ago)

I hate you all!

Clearly this holiday of yours has failed.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 27 November 2003 15:30 (twenty-one years ago)

haha ned can you not wait for your TURKEY

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 27 November 2003 15:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, but the Canucks got it all over with last month, and now they're on to Canadian Christmas!

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 27 November 2003 15:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Ken C, you're a freak. I don't want you to ever change, though.

I woke up all by myself at 8:30 in the morning, after going to bed at about 2 in the morning. I'm still in my pajamas and if I so chose I could go back to bed for another 30 minutes of sleeping.

I LOVE HAVING THE DAY OFF!

― Tenacious Dee (Dee the Lurker), Thursday, 27 November 2003 15:31 (twenty-one years ago)

I clearly live in a Holiday-less country.

― Miggie (Miggie), Thursday, 27 November 2003 15:32 (twenty-one years ago)

YUM foodage! Though it's lemon poundcake tonight, by request.

I clearly live in a Holiday-less country.

Declare one unilaterally and arrest anyone who disagrees.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 27 November 2003 15:32 (twenty-one years ago)

i have not eaten anything today so i can save room

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 27 November 2003 15:33 (twenty-one years ago)

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 27 November 2003 15:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Just one leg?

― smee (smee), Thursday, 27 November 2003 15:33 (twenty-one years ago)

two out of three

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 27 November 2003 15:34 (twenty-one years ago)

We attach spare legs as need be.

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 27 November 2003 17:57 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes. This day rocks. I am giving serious thanks and taking no prisoners.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 27 November 2003 18:03 (twenty-one years ago)

First new year's resolution: Must stop saying things "rock".

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 27 November 2003 18:03 (twenty-one years ago)

what are you gonna say instead?

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 27 November 2003 18:04 (twenty-one years ago)

"rule"

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 27 November 2003 18:09 (twenty-one years ago)

What if the thing you're describing does indeed rock? You can't deny the rock!

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 27 November 2003 18:09 (twenty-one years ago)

I'll say it "shreds".

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 27 November 2003 18:10 (twenty-one years ago)

h8 me n0w!

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 27 November 2003 18:16 (twenty-one years ago)

You forgot things that rot.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 27 November 2003 18:47 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm not going to the family's and have realized that I really have nothing to eat in the house except for a hot pocket, lime sherbert and popcorn.

It's one pm, do you think there's any stores open?

― A Girl Named Sam (thatgirl), Thursday, 27 November 2003 18:55 (twenty-one years ago)

Probably. Most supermarket type things around here are open until 6 pm or so.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 27 November 2003 18:56 (twenty-one years ago)

aw screw it. I'm going to get a big bowl of lime sherbert and watch Rich Girls.

― A Girl Named Sam (thatgirl), Thursday, 27 November 2003 19:00 (twenty-one years ago)

Aw. Sam. Can't you go visit someone tonight who can feed you properly?

― Miggie (Miggie), Thursday, 27 November 2003 19:01 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm not going home by choice. But my not-buying-groceries-and-not-cooking-properly is coming back to bite me in the ass.

― A Girl Named Sam (thatgirl), Thursday, 27 November 2003 19:03 (twenty-one years ago)

How about going to a friend's for dinner or something? You could bring some wine or a bag of chips or the hot pocket as a contribution.

― Miggie (Miggie), Thursday, 27 November 2003 19:07 (twenty-one years ago)

haha!

There's actually some food going on right now at Sh1ps, but since I 've to close there later, I really don't want to spend the afternoon there.

Maybe there will be some potato salad or something left when I go in.

― A Girl Named Sam (thatgirl), Thursday, 27 November 2003 19:10 (twenty-one years ago)

morning sam
i hope you have a good day today
:-)

― Orbit (Orbit), Thursday, 27 November 2003 19:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, whatever ends up as your dinner, be sure to have a good time. ;)

― Miggie (Miggie), Thursday, 27 November 2003 19:34 (twenty-one years ago)

It is 11:32 am and I have been awake for 10 minutes. Get in me.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 27 November 2003 19:37 (twenty-one years ago)

i slept for 14 hours last night! 10pm to noon. yay!

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 27 November 2003 19:43 (twenty-one years ago)

luna, lauren, you're also fairly loathed for sleeping more than the rest of us. Be merry and smug now.

― Miggie (Miggie), Thursday, 27 November 2003 20:37 (twenty-one years ago)

I slept from 1 AM to noon and then my parents made fun of me a lot. Meh.

― Maria (Maria), Thursday, 27 November 2003 20:43 (twenty-one years ago)

HA-ha!! *points at maria*

― mark s (mark s), Thursday, 27 November 2003 20:55 (twenty-one years ago)

Maria, methinks the time has come to move out of the house. That's an outrage.

― Miggie (Miggie), Thursday, 27 November 2003 21:41 (twenty-one years ago)

I had my best night's sleep last night in a couple weeks: nine wonderful hours in my parents' guest bedroom. Now I am absolutely stuffed with Tofurkey, etc. Waiting until dessert...

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 28 November 2003 00:06 (twenty-one years ago)

I just ate so much I'm amazed my stomach didn't rupture. I look like I'm having a baby. Sexy. MORE PIE NOW.
