Harry

My hometown of Crawfordsville, Indiana has a Harry Potter connection.

Story

My brother-in-law works for Donnelly's and he said that during the printing of all the Harry Potter books security was tighter than Fort Knox.

My sister Connie called last night (she and her oldest son are WILD about Harry):

"A friend who works in a bookstore just called and said in a conspiratorial voice, 'Guess what we got into the store today? HARRY!!! But my manager put a big black curtain around the boxes with a sign that read: WARNING! LOOK AWAY! EMPLOYEES CAUGHT EVEN LOOKING AT THE BOXES WILL BE SENT TO AZKABAN.' " haha

emma... sarai called me a vulturous ass! can you believe that? if i cared one bit what she thought of me i might be offended! ha!

she obviously meant you have a voluptuous ass, which is a compliment.

but seriously, is she on drugs?

is she luna de luce grown up and come back to haunt us?

Sarai is just Beyshoes. Why'd she call Spidey an ugly name?

We have a Donnelly plant here too. I heard you had to have a special pass to even go on the line that was running Harry.

All this secrecy and the damn book still got out early. Oh well.

Did you get your howler yet?

That was Luna Dulce. She still haunts my nightmares.

mavis sidebottom said...

she was perky

Waltzing Matilda said...

I just remember that she tried to be all sweetness and light, and then we made her have some kind of a mental meltdown.

1. of, pertaining to, or characteristic of a vulture.
2. resembling a vulture, esp. in rapacious or predatory qualities: a vulturine critic.

Spidey, a vulture is a bird, so is she merely stating the obvious that you have a small, petite, and delicate bird-like ass?

Spidey, Is being called a vultorous ass better than calling me a phat ass? - blu

Oh, and I don't find Sarai to be any worse than Four. I think they are twins. - blu

she must have some obsession with ass is all i can say.
i absolutely hate it when new people come tearing into the place and try to take over.

mavis sidebottom said...

I dislike both of them equally doreen mary i can no ope with as she;s been around a while now

Ahem, let me say, that YOU were all new people who took over the place at one point or another.

Rosa, what are you talking about? We are the ORIGINALS! - blu

apparently i have a petty ass. i think that means my ass is small, and i know that's what every woman who is 7.5 months pregnant wants to hear.

i think four used to use a lot of drugs and i think sari was hit in the head way too many times as a child.

wtf is up with the "phat" thing? my kids use that and they say "phat" is good (pretty hot and tempting), fat isn't good. so maybe your ass is a popular teenage thing blu? that doesn't explain why she spells fuck as phuck though. maybe she's just retarded?

I just read on the Comments page all the comments from sarai, Four, et al. So now I understand all of your "petty ass" "vultuous ass" comments SNORT!

I can't comment on the main page at work--but will do so tonight.

I was adored from the moment I set foot on the shelf Roas how very dare you

i was invited and i kept my mouth shut for a long time till i got to know people. THAT is the difference. i know it is hard to believe i kept my mouth shut, but i did. i swear.

Blu, you're so not one of the originals of the bookshelf. Of this site perhaps, but then again, nope not that even. Y'all forget I remember when the bookshelf was on AOL one night a week.

BTW, Mum, I didn't say liked or disliked--only new ;-).

okay rosa. you are the original.
i have been around for 10 years now. so what?

i don't have to like siaria or sairia or whatever her name is. there are plenty of new people that work their way in. it is all a matter of how they do it. coming in and calling everyone names is not the way to endear yourself in my opinion. she can do whatever she wants. it doesn't mean i am not going to be annoyed by it. it would be no different then someone new starting at work and acting like a smarty pants. that pisses people off. yes, i know, people suck. love, vulturous ass

What do all of your asses have to do with my quaint hometown of Crawfordsville, Indiana??

Spidey, I'm not saying you have to like her, but gee, she did apologize. Maybe you should accept the apology and move on rather than repeatedly saying "why don't you leave?"

Where I work every single person who is new comes in thinking they know everything, you either ignore them or laugh at them...you don't get to tell them to go away.

We have this discussion almost everytime someone with a new strong voice comes in.

I mean, I may think people suck, but at least I give the new ones a chance to not suck.

rosa.
her apology was half assed. she ripped into me in numerous other posts after that. i am done with the whole thing and won't say another word. and honestly, i think i only said...leave,once. so move on now and don't concern yourself with me.

Gee, what have I been missing?

Like, I said nobody picks on Spidey, pick on Emma all you want, that's fine, but not Spidey. - blu

Brenda said...

p.s. it doesn't take forever for me to figure out someone sucks.

haha.


No apologies needed Spidey, although I was excited to see 30 comments for my hometown post---but the comments were mostly about your asses!
