Fillyjonk offers carrot cake to the channel-dwellers * ^glory^ scarfs carrot cake and shares cold milk <^glory^> buckets 'o tanks ooo! milk! Fillyjonk STILL hasn't gotten more milk yet... :( i want some!!! <^glory^> fillyjonk, I think I'd be catatonic if I'd gone without milk for more than 48 hours, as you seem to have done <^glory^> I don't know how you stand it I just have to make the variety of instant noodles that DOESN'T require milk.

(she's learning which ones she can safely attack and carry off and which ones to avoid) <^glory^> as words go, I like recalibration <^glory^> a light, smooth, full-bodied word, unpretentious yet dignified The good word for today is: Paladin And the bad word is...? Aye, a luvley word, aye? um... I don't know if compound words count... anything you can't use in Scrabbleô and all that... <^glory^> Mr. glory has served me a bowl of green beans. nice beans. the cats are not interested.
