I love it when you speak space cornish.

Yet more people telling me that they read this thing but don't understand the half of it. As if it were my problem.

Life's hard when you're a guerilla ontologist. Which is, I don't know, putting a name to something that's just normal. In that I can and do say please and thank you and get invited to weddings and served lager in normal pubs where

I find it better to say this;

"I have no idea what that means, but it sounds fabulous!"

Sometimes I do not understand the things people say, doesn't mean I don't like listening.

There is, I think, a whole pile of stuff in that one statement that needs unpacking. Somehow.

It's like art, innit? Sometimes you don't need to understand it; you can look at it, and it'll look back at you, and prod your brain; you don't necessarily need to prod _its_ brain.

That's how I like to think of hirez, of course, innit.

You know, there's a reasonable amount of irony in so many splendid but derailing comments...

I find you make make more sense when wearing stockings...

[hirez]

Thank you. You're too kind. (I need a specific icon, don't I?)

[liz_lowlife]

Yes...a special stockings one for special people like me! :oD

My brain goes into a slightly different state when I'm reading your posts, almost like I de-focus, and just let the meaning come without trying too hard. Sort of like when I'm reading certain (other) authors, their language rewires my brain. I enjoy it. :)

I think what I said is "I wish I understood what you were saying half the time". Also u may need to be more direct with people (ie me) when you want them to stop by saying something cryptic like 'Shut up'. BTW did you decide what colour shirt was suitable to drink half pints in? I decided it wasn't colour it that was the issue, style is the problem. Maybe paul smith in its patterned phase or anything by Ben Sherman

I fear you were a lightning conductor for a set of people who's first language is Snide, rather than English. Sorry about that. We should hunt them down and employ sarcasm. They don't like it up them.

Given my experiences in the Old Market Tavern, lilac t-shirts are right out.

A Keane or Snow Patrol shirt would be worn by the sort of bed-wetters who drink halves.

[janinemarriott]

Glad it wasn't mainly about my gentle teasing re the tshirts that make people girlie. I was worried cos my choice of words was poor. If you ever need help with the sarcasm employing, I'm your girl. I lean towards it more easily than I should! Ah yes moany dull band tshirts would work. Can I therefore throw coldplay into the mix?

See comment to sushidog which maybe covers about half of what I was attempting to get at.

Please, throw Coldplay into the mixer. A cement one for preference.
