to make icing easier to eat without utensils

~riette Sat, Sep 12, 1998 (16:12) #2

to make a woman's behind look like two pigs in a knapsack

~autumn Sun, Sep 13, 1998 (21:41) #3

because the peasants were out of bread

~wolf Tue, Sep 15, 1998 (19:05) #4

because they knew i would be born and look mighty fine with two pigs bouncing around the backside!

~riette Wed, Sep 16, 1998 (01:00) #5

LOL!!!!

~stacey Wed, Sep 30, 1998 (17:47) #6

to break the ice between neighbors

~KitchenManager Wed, Sep 30, 1998 (20:43) #7

I thought that was beer and nudity...

~riette Thu, Oct 1, 1998 (01:31) #8

Beer and nudity is to break the ice between presidents and interns, not neighbours!

~kristen Thu, Oct 1, 1998 (03:33) #9

LOL

~CotC Mon, Oct 26, 1998 (15:10) #10

Wouldn't ice between presidents and interns simply melt, thus obviating the need to break it?

~riette Sun, Nov 1, 1998 (00:52) #11

And how do you think some presidents and some interns would deal with sweet, melting ice between them, all over them?

~TIM Sun, Nov 22, 1998 (06:13) #12

A bigger orgy in the white house than already exists today.

~riette Mon, Nov 23, 1998 (02:27) #13

If I were them, I'd just EAT it! Silly people! I MUST go now - even though I'd just like to sit here talking to you all day. Expecting my partner in about 5 minutes, and I'm not dressed or washed or anything yet. Looking forward to coming back!

~TIM Mon, Nov 23, 1998 (02:58) #14

I am looking forward to having you back, too Riette

~TIM Mon, Nov 23, 1998 (03:04) #15

I believe the eat it solution has already been tried and look where they are now Actually, Riette if you sat here all day, I'd sit here all day, and then I'd be a bit tired tomorrow, because I go to work about the time you go to bed.

~riette Mon, Nov 23, 1998 (08:17) #16

Yes, quite - and I hope you're in bed as I'm writing this. Anyway, if I sat here all day, and you sat here all night, you could call in sick, and we could sit another day and night, writing silly responses to each other!

~TIM Mon, Nov 23, 1998 (08:54) #17

Now, that is an Idea!! So, Riette, when do you want to do this?

~riette Tue, Nov 24, 1998 (08:02) #18

I can't, I simply can't!! Though I'd love to. But when I come to America, we can stay up talking EVERY night, for all I care. 'Cos then I'll have nobody to take care of - except you! In another sense, of course. ha-ha!

~TIM Tue, Nov 24, 1998 (08:36) #19

Riette, that will be wonderful too. Too bad that you don't want to do the other, Wednesday would be the perfect day for it, because Thursday is a holiday, and so is Friday.

~riette Wed, Nov 25, 1998 (02:27) #20

Not here, I'm afraid - the Swiss don't do that! But I could phone you on Thursday. Oh damn!!! I didn't want to tell you when! Then again, I might be teasing...

~TIM Wed, Nov 25, 1998 (10:28) #21

Anytime is fine, Riette. I'll look forward to it.

~riette Thu, Nov 26, 1998 (01:51) #22

Or phoneward! I must warn you though, that my accent is bad. And I sometimes stumble over words like a drunk - but be assured I don't. Bad speech, that's all.

~TIM Thu, Nov 26, 1998 (02:48) #23

Riette, phoneward is forward. The phone is in front of me. I Won't mind your accent, I promise.

~riette Thu, Nov 26, 1998 (07:10) #24

But you might giggle, and I'd be very embarrassed. Do you have anything that I can giggle back at?

~KitchenManager Thu, Nov 26, 1998 (08:29) #25

If you don't, Tim, I'm sure I have something that you can borrow...

~riette Thu, Nov 26, 1998 (09:40) #26

Like what???

~TIM Thu, Nov 26, 1998 (17:25) #27

Riette, I enjoy it when you giggle, and when you make me laugh.

~riette Fri, Nov 27, 1998 (01:50) #28

And I enjoy the way you laugh - like a lion!

~TIM Fri, Nov 27, 1998 (01:57) #29

Riette, I've never been told that before.

~riette Sat, Nov 28, 1998 (01:25) #30

They were probably just too scared of your ROOO-AAAA-RRR!!! But seeing as I grew up where there are other lions, I'm not quite so afraid. Only a little....

~TIM Sat, Nov 28, 1998 (01:28) #31

Why are you afraid, Riette?

~KitchenManager Sat, Nov 28, 1998 (14:24) #32

because some people carry the paranoia bit a little too far...

~riette Sat, Nov 28, 1998 (15:35) #33

I'm not afraid of paranoia, Wer!! And if you were as used to seeing the creature from the black lagoon in your mirror every day as I am, you'd be quite comfortable with it too! Good to see you! Not afraid, Tim, just a LITTLE little afraid. Nice afraid.

~TIM Sat, Nov 28, 1998 (18:32) #34

Ok Riette, I thought something was bothering you.

~TIM Sat, Nov 28, 1998 (18:34) #35

By the way Riette, what kind of neighborhood do you live in, that you see the creature from the black lagoon every morning?

~riette Sun, Nov 29, 1998 (13:27) #36

I was talking about myself! ha-ha! Creature from the black lagoon - that's how I look when I wake up!

~TIM Sun, Nov 29, 1998 (13:32) #37

Riette, That's Impossible without makeup or special effects!!

~riette Sun, Nov 29, 1998 (13:57) #38

Let me put it this way: be glad you're not the one has to see me first thing in the morning! We're talking major trauma here!

~TIM Sun, Nov 29, 1998 (14:02) #39

Now I know you need new glasses, Riette!

~riette Mon, Nov 30, 1998 (02:20) #40

I don't HAVE glasses, Tim. My eyes are good - I think!

~TIM Mon, Nov 30, 1998 (02:30) #41

Well,Riette you seem to have a problem seeing your own good qualities.

~riette Tue, Dec 1, 1998 (01:58) #42

Maybe. But one can't very well go around saying, gee, you're right, Tim. I'm the most wonderful creature, ain't I? Words like that would trigger some throwing up mechanism in my stomach, and I won't be able to get to the loo soon enough!

~TIM Tue, Dec 1, 1998 (02:06) #43

OK Riette, But if you were to do this, you could always stand over the commode prior to the utterance.

~riette Wed, Dec 2, 1998 (01:31) #44

Or I'll tie a sickbag around my neck all the time.

~TIM Wed, Dec 2, 1998 (01:37) #45

I guess that would work too, Riette.

~riette Thu, Dec 3, 1998 (01:01) #46

So, Tim. Why was cake invented?

~TIM Thu, Dec 3, 1998 (01:12) #47

Personally, Riette, I think it was invented by someone who got tired of plain bread.
