So my dad got me addicted to this f*cking game Seppuku

[jpgray]

I'm still trying to figure out how you "win."

1. snorts cold coffee out of nose

:rofl:

[jpgray]

2. Nice to see you around these parts

Marital bliss is probably time-consuming and all, from what I've been told. :D

:hi:

[cassandra uprising]

4. Thanks!

Yeh, although lately it's been more of a

*scramble to find a good enough paying job so that the spouse can go to grad school so he can have bliss

because I don't want to be married to someone who isn't pursuing their bliss

while me as supporting spouse still needs to find time and energy to pursue her bliss

so as to not resent blissful spouse

type of marital bliss*

-plus Chavez went back to bed, which is about the only time I get the driver's seat at the 'puter.

:hi:

It's good to be around and to be greeted by such fine folk as yourself.

6. Good thing Chavez is a talented mofo

Because I can be honest when I say I'm sure your sponsorshop will pay off in a big way. Then the roles can reverse and eventually neither of you will be possessed of wasted potential. :D

9. Word

That's been the plan so far. Taking turns. It's unfortunate that we can't both be freelancers at the same time, at least not in this early stage in our relationship and in our careers. So this is the best way. It takes a lot of honesty, communication and trust. It's difficult but I figure, by doing this we're laying down a good foundation for a marriage. Okay, now I'm starting to sound like Polly Anna, but it's true.

Four years ago when we first starting dating, I told him he should go to grad school. I couldn't be happier that he got into SVA. Plus, right now I need to work. I have no idea what I would want to go to graduate school for so the timing fits nicely.

We are both very, very lucky to have each other.

3. Vanna, I'd like to buy 'disembowel.'

:hi:

[cassandra uprising]

5. ba doom, tis!

Do you do weddings? Bar mitzvahs?

[jpgray]

7. Is that also a C-section reference?

(why I know this fact about Vanna White's pregnancy, I'm not sure)

[SOteric]

10. No. I've got no clues about Vanna White's gestational status. But, -

I'd also like to point out that if you're addicted to Seppuku, - you're really not doing it right.

[jpgray]

11. Not true

I'm waiting until I write a good death poem before I complete the ritual, and that, let's face it, will probably never happen. :D

[SOteric]

13. See, now, this would be the point where I enter an ethical crisis

over whether to offer my assistance as a teacher of Creative Writing and a published poet.

[jpgray]

14. I'll give you an easy one

How can Billy Collins' completely shit "Taking Off Emily Dickinson's Clothes" get accolades while my "Taking Emily Dickinson (From Behind)" can't even see print? I should point out that since I wanted her characteristic syntax to be as phallic as possible, every emdash in the poem is thirteen inches long.

[CanuckAmok]

16. maybe you needed to include some illustrations.

That's what got my "Slapping Bernard Shaw's Dewsack with a Pingpong Paddle" published in CBT Monthly.

[SOteric]

20. Eazy Peazy, -

You need to provide .gifs, - preferrably with someone like Salma Hayak playing the role of Ms. Dickinson.

...and maybe knock 6 inches or so off each emdash. :7

[bicentennial_baby]

8. ....

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: thank you for that... :)

[jpgray]

12. I believe copycat threads are for all cultures

:dunce:

:hi:

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

15. You win when you comple the circle

I thought that was aa given. :eyes:

[jpgray]

17. Based on your post, I think the time is nigh

Apparently my DU "friends" don't even do the most superficial typo scans when they reply to me. How ironic that you didn't even bother to complete "complete." :cry:

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

19. Whatver

[kedrys]

18. ROFLMAO!!!!!

:spray: :rofl:

Good copycat! I feel privileged... :rofl:

[ET Awful]

21. I'd imagine it's a tough game to teach properly, I mean you can only

demonstrate it once :P
