It was a very weird situation all the way around, 8-ball.

Your question has already been answered, Samhain ...

That's very wise, Blanche ...

Meanwhile, I had thought the same thing about his presence possibly being a premonition, especially after I discovered that none of my friends recall ever seeing the guy.

Well, Ben, I usually have company, at least ...

I don't know how "good" it is, though.

Too, Doo, Loo

I'm kidding it's not him it' me. LOL. What a weird thing to say I would call the cops on him just for that and his poor man servant I wonder what he goes through.

OK....how long are you making us wait? (for the 2nd installment) You're not one of those teases are you? Samhain_Moon

Mademoiselle,

So, really, then it seems as though Mr. Peanut/Monopoly Money Guy are almost David Lynch-like characters, miming your imminent disaster with the blender. Maybe your sense of unease was a kind of foreboding about the blender incident.

I've never seen a monocled man with a manservant in a grocery store (or anywhere else), now, if I do see them, I'll remember this story and run like hell to somewhere safer, like say, produce.

You certainly don't need attention from him. It is always safer to walk in the company of good others.

Oh, it gets much better, scriber ...

You know how the first "Kill Bill" only truly makes sense, after you've seen the second one? The same is true here. Just wait and see ... it all ties together brilliantly.

Doesn't really sound like something I would say, missjohn.

posted by Mademoiselle on May 4, 2006 at 2:11 PM | link to this | reply

Sadly, Captain, as it turns out, no one would ever get to taste it though.

well done.

I liked your "Poo eye" comment

Mademoisell: I was going to suggest that you just make the yogart yourself

I'm glad your friend thought of it first.

It does sound yummy.

Sure, Wiley, there's the unfrozen kind, as well.

Mlle

Now you've got me hooked. Is the guy an old actor?

Oh, and you mention frozen Yogurt, is there any other kind luv? Just for my info 'cuz I only recently feel in love with the stuff.

Actually, I wasn't, Ann ...

though now that you mention it, he is a prime example.

Okaaay ... now I am outta here.

(And I mean it this time.)

However, keep in mind, FoF ...

this all ends in tragedy.

Okaaay ... I am outta here.

(Though I shall return.)

I suppose you're referring to your tall brother. Well, youth gives confidence which cancels whatever humility that was supposed to be there. Lol.

Ah, I remember those days in the supermarket with friends...

taking forever to purchase a simple snack, debating over stupid stuff while people give you "get out of the way" looks... Oh to be young and have nothing else to do...

posted by FactorFiction on May 4, 2006 at 6:04 AM | link to this | reply

It should ...

but, unfortunately, it isn't.

Should the reverse be true? Great people stand tall with generous humility?

The new prize is delivered to your blog step. Since there is no real door-step here. :)

Okay, Ann ...

I will do.

Oh, that's right, Marshall ...

I quasi-remember hearing something about that.

I suppose so, Ann. And, as I'm constantly reminding my boyfriend:

"Conceit is God's gift to little men."

I think...

that DMX has been arrested recently...looks like he was in trouble and that he pleaded guilty to the charges against him...

BTW....maybe.....just maybe....you're tired because you stay up all night....did you read my post about insomnia and hookers before I took it down? SM

posted by syzygy on May 4, 2006 at 1:17 AM | link to this | reply

OK....here's a clue.....my blogs don't make a lot of sense to you....that's because all of my blogs are written in undecipherable code......they don't make any sense to anyone!!....but.....AHA....the other bloggers KNOW that they are written in undecipherable code and therefore make no sense to anyone....only an alien would think that I was really trying to say something!!!!

SOOOOOO you didn't realize that I REALLY AM a detective.....HA!

posted by syzygy on May 4, 2006 at 1:14 AM | link to this | reply

What's that supposed to mean?

posted by Mademoiselle on May 4, 2006 at 1:09 AM | link to this | reply

Actually, Samhain, the only reason I post in "Humor" is ...

so I have an alibi in case I remembered some of the facts incorrectly and/or twisted elements to make myself look better.

Nice detective work, though.

posted by Mademoiselle on May 4, 2006 at 1:08 AM | link to this | reply

Mademoiselle, OK, I've figured all of this out. I've been reading your blogs as if they depicted true events. You almost had me going there .....but, I've had training.....in keen observation. I just now noticed that you post these stories not in the "Journal" but in the "Humor" category. Aha! Foiled! You're really shitting us, right? S_M

posted by syzygy on May 4, 2006 at 1:00 AM | link to this | reply

Maybe ...

or maybe not.

You'll just have to wait and see.

hm, this blender story is

electrifying.

posted by fourcats on May 4, 2006 at 12:14 AM | link to this | reply

That question will soon be answered, DarrkeThoughts ...

I wasn't kidding when I told people this story was really complicated.

posted by Mademoiselle on May 3, 2006 at 11:18 PM | link to this | reply

Sounds like you think aliens aren't real...still, where's the household appliance come in?

posted by DarrkeThoughts on May 3, 2006 at 11:01 PM | link to this | reply

Just wanted to make sure that was clear.

O. K.

Well, thank you again then, Jason ...

Of course keep in mind that this is a true story ... therefore don't be, like, expecting spaceships or dinosaurs or anything.

posted by Mademoiselle on May 3, 2006 at 10:48 PM | link to this | reply

I am already bent; so there.

However, I'm very curious about the end of your tale.

posted by JasonScyte on May 3, 2006 at 10:35 PM | link to this | reply

Not me, Lensman ... I've given up the stuff completely.

Meanwhile, I was forced to put this damn story off for so long that it could likely never live up to the hype. So, I figured I'd just go ahead and get it over with.

posted by Mademoiselle on May 3, 2006 at 10:34 PM | link to this | reply

Thank you, Jason ...

unless you're being sarcastic.

And if so ...

get bent.

Really, Cesium? I never really watched those shows ...

Though perhaps I should have.

Mademoiselle

At last...I've been camping on the sidewalk outside your blog door for this post, and I'm not disappointed. Looking forward to Act 2. Nicely written. Funny and suspenseful to boot. Packed with quirky characters, including you. Okay, it's intermission time. Who wants frogurt?
