The Life of Pi

I was in the Shelf a few minutes last night and Max Pi came in. I hadn’t seen him for ages. He’s one of the Shelfers who makes me laugh. He’s very secretive in the way Mr PTBunkum is secretive—I don’t know a damn thing about either of them. They’re both quirky.


Max 314159265358: I'm more pits than peachy
EmmaWrites: what's wrong Mex?
EmmaWrites: Are you watching Big Brother?

RLVSK: She would reduce him to ashes in a matter of seconds

EmmaWrites: me too Janie
Max 314159265358: The black guy should've won
EmmaWrites: Ive only seen bits & pieces of designstar
JaneH56: the pretty girl got the boot.
Max 314159265358: I think they're down to 4
EmmaWrites: Allison--I thought she was original
JaneH56: she was a beautiful lady.
EmmaWrites: Jane, this week Robert Best got booted
JaneH56: the barbie guy?
JaneH56: yeah, I saw that.
Max 314159265358: There some gorgeous people in reality
EmmaWrites: Mex, do you want to apply for Amazing Race with me?
Max 314159265358: As long as you do anything that involves water, Emma
EmmaWrites: ok Mex...you can do heights, and eat anything gross
Max 314159265358: I've no problem with that
EmmaWrites: deal
Max 314159265358: I've learned to swallow hard
Max 314159265358: I sometimes drown in the shower
Max 314159265358: You see the new Survivor?
EmmaWrites: Mex...separation by race?
Max 314159265358: Yep I've got it in TiVO already
Max 314159265358: Waitin for that black v. Asian showdown
EmmaWrites: haha




Also:
Max 314159265358: Weekend Insider had a whole feature on a woman without a nose
Max 314159265358: just a gaping hole
EmmaWrites: Mex, does a person with no nose still have mucus?
Max 314159265358: Nope
Max 314159265358: there was nothing
Max 314159265358: She was a jack o lantern minus the candle



True Story:
I was standing behind two old ladies at an ice cream place yesterday (I was cheating on my diet by getting a scoop of chocolate mint chip in a dish.) Old Lady #2 had been served and was waiting for Old Lady #1.

Old Lady #1 to the Counter Girl, after being handed a huge rainbow sherbet cone:
Also give me a chocolate scoop in a dish to go. It’s for my doggie.

OL#2: For your dog?!

OL#1: She’s been very good today. It’s a treat.

OL#2: Chocolate’s bad for dogs.

OL#1: My doggie likes chocolate.

OL#2: Chocolate’s BAD for dogs. It’ll kill ‘em.

OL#1: A little won’t hurt her.

OL#2: It’s bad.

OL#1: One scoop.

OL#2: Fine! Kill the little bastard! Who cares!

Maxnumbers used to have another screenname, I just can't remember it anymore.

ArtSf fought with everyone--myself included. We should try to pair her up with Nags.

And I still think Allison was rightly auf'ed.

Chocolate is toxic to dogs; however, it's not easy to tell how much is too much, because there are so many variables: age of dog, health of dog, weight of dog, kind of chocolate, and amount of chocolate (and probably more).

Having said that, OL#1 undoubtedly knows by now that a scoop of chocolate ice cream won't kill her dog, and OL#2, having pointed out that chocolate is toxic to dogs, should have then shut it.

Old ladies are hilarious.

I doubt Old Lady# 1 was going to give the ice cream to the dog, but rather she was going to eat it herself.

I think Rosa might be right.
