It would appear that, unbeknownst to the world, the Beatles have reunited. The four band members got back together – don’t ask me how. Keith Richards finally realized he was dead (after living his unlife for several centuries), Hell has frozen over (twice now, if you count the Eagles reunion), and pigs are flying outside my window.
Yes, folks. I gave in to Twitter.
I Told You So
James, Jon, Michael, Brett, Nick… Go ahead and gloat. You know you want to. John H? I’m sorry, man. The pull of the dark side was far too strong for the likes of me. Amy, it clearly wasn’t your fault this time. Not even Fukko wants the blame for this event.
This is why I don’t want to be on anyone’s pedestal. When you fall, it’s a very, very long way down. But hey, it’s great for ratings.
13.2 Reasons Why I Joined Twitter
- I was bored. Actually, no. I was far from bored. I was wired out of my mind from too much work. I couldn’t sleep. When I can’t sleep, I do impulsive things, like buying stuff I don’t really need online or (*gasp*) creating a Twitter account.
- James was having too much fun without me. Yes, dammit, I’ll admit it. I was jealous. Why should James have all the fun out there rubbing shoulders with the movers and shakers? *shoves James out of the way* You’re blocking my spotlight, bro.
- I like new things. Specifically, I like setting up new themes. Where else could I put up a monster-sized picture of Lucifer? Go ahead. Bask in the glory of the Honda VTX1800. Just don’t leave your fingerprints on the chrome.
- I did it for the Comedy Factor. You’ll all read this with your morning coffee and laugh.
- I needed to write about something.
- I got tired of Jon Phillips hounding me.
- I apparently have more curiosity than both my cats put together.
- I’ve run out of reasons. Make up 5.2 more for me.
So there you have it. You won. Go shout it from the rooftops, splatter it on the front page of the tabloids, alert the paparazzi.

Kelly’s last blog post..Inspiration Points: Change
I love that pic of Lucifer BTW. I had to get down on one knee and bow my head before the awesome power of Lucifer…
(no, I’m not a Satanist, I’m a part-time pagan!)
Reason #9 – to practice clear, concise communication! (Hi James
)
Brett Legree’s last blog post..the road ahead.
Well I half Twittered. Making me a Twit.
Why can’t everything be as easy as Facebook. Give me a reason to remember to visit. I play Scrabble with ten people on Facebook so I never forget to go.
Well Harry, you have made me give my Twit account a second chance.
@ Tina: I think it is a toss-up, Facebook for me is too much like “work” and if I am going to spend that much time working on something, I sort of want it to be “mine”, rather than belonging to a 23-year old billionaire
(But I do have a Facebook page
embarrassing photos and all)
Twitter’s barriers to entry just seem a bit lower for me, giving me (a little) time to work on my own blog (yeah, yeah, it’s coming along…)
Brett Legree’s last blog post..the road ahead.
@ Tina – Don’t even get me started on Facebook… whew.
LOL. Well I guess that is the point of Facebook, I got an account so I could keep track of all the 20 somethings in the family spread all over the country. At first they were appalled, now I’m no longer a novelty.
But seriously going to give Twitter a second chance and go in and decorate and hang a few quotes at least.
@ Tina: oh, I know… LOL I get a kick out of the blackmail photos my friends post on my page, and it is a good tool to find old college friends for some reason…
I think every tool has a valuable use, if given a chance.
Brett Legree’s last blog post..the road ahead.
@Harry – thanks for taking me down with you in the Twittering chaos
Okay, I just added you to my never-been-used account.
Nez’s last blog post..Dial ?M? for Blogger
Well, it’s been so much fun Twitter-stalking James since he joined up, how could one resist the invitation? Harry, consider yourself followed by yet another Canadian Twit.
@ RJL – I like stalking you too. You *get* my life and culture. Uh, because you’re Canadian and all, but we could practically be neighbors. That’s very fun. Plus you put up interesting notes that make me think.
Calisse…what a morning.
@Brett: Some people carry around pics of their kids, I carry around pics of my bike. What’s interesting is I think it’s the only black and red VTX around. I had gone to a VTX rally a couple of years ago and everyone thought it was a custom paint job. They were surprised to hear it was just stock.
…and Lucifer and Satan are not the same.
@Tina: as soon as you get back on Twitter, send me a follow
@Joohlia: You followed me first!
@Nez: I feel like such a rock star.
@RJL: It’s an honor and a pleasure to be stalked by you
@James: Can I be an honorary Canadian?
ROFL! I knew you’d crack, ha! Welcome to the madhouse Harry, you’ve already classed up the joint.
LOL, and I joined after your post bashing it… Shame on me
RLD: Taekwondo Happiness’s last blog post..Update
@ Harry: you are correct sir (many people would have associated Lucifer with Satan, but you’re smarter than that…)
And I think you’d make a good honourary Canadian, so if James is okay with it, you’re in the club!
Brett Legree’s last blog post..the road ahead.
@James, you make a simple little Maritimer blush. Not necessarily becomingly.
@Harry, this not-having-Canadian-residency-or-citizenship detail notwithstanding, I’m with Brett in willingness to make you an Hono[u]rary Canadian. I mean, think about it: any nation that calls its politicians “Honourable” with a more-or-less straight face… yeah, just flash your Canadian Oxford Dictionary at the border crossing and we be good.
@Brett & RJL: Woot! You made my day.
@ rjleaman: yeah, I hear you about the politicians, we had one visiting where I work a couple of years ago, and when they introduced him as “The Right Honourable Mr. X” – well, it wasn’t Mr. X but I don’t want to “name names” – anyway about half the audience snickered…
PS – I’ll follow you on Twitter when I get home, it’s a blocked site here at work…
(if they ever block MwP I’ll go into a catatonic state!)
Brett Legree’s last blog post..the road ahead.
Jeeze Brett, that’s what you get for being a tool to the man
RLD: Taekwondo Happiness’s last blog post..Update
@ RLD: you took the words right out of my mouth, brother…
(the pay is good, honest, and they only beat us 6 times a day… other than that, it’s a good place to work!)
Brett Legree’s last blog post..the road ahead.
My contribution to the 5.2 remaining reasons:
Because it’s easier to let James get his way. He’s relentless, and you may as well just give in. Resistance is futile, both re: Twitter and re: @menwithpens.
Harry:
I love your sense of humor! It made me smile – rather widely, I might add. Despite your fall into the depths of twitter H**** or Heaven (depending on what you might find), I am still not moving to Twitter. Let me know if you find it to be worth your time. Then I’ll reconsider.
Stephen Hopson’s last blog post..Stephen Hopson Interview with Karen Putz, A Deaf Mom Shares Her World, Part II of II
@Naomi: Sometimes it is better to give in.
@Stephen: Humor? I was serious, man!
If it’s worth it, believe me, you’ll hear about it here.
@Naomi – Ohmigod I’m laughing. YES! Finally! Someone understands!!
** John H shakes his head while reading the post and comments. Hmmm, what to say what to say **
John Hoff’s last blog post..Negotiating: It Never Hurts To Ask
John runs through the cold mist of an unknown graveyard while looking over his shoulder. He’s out of breath and his face stings from the cold sweat beading down his face. He tells himself he can’t stop running. Can’t stop. Not now. No. Must keep going. They’re after him . . . the Twitter zombies. They want to assimilate him. They want to make him waste his day away talking about what he puts in his coffee. Oh – what’s that? Oh no. It’s Keith Richards. He wears YELLOW UNDERWEAR so no one can see his pee stains and he wanted to share that with me!!!
You . . . you’re all Tweeter-fide! You’ve been injected with Tweeter nano-probs and are compelled to chit chat about how your grass turns green when you dump OJ on it.
Whoever created Twitter was a great business person. They created it in an effort to knock off their competition by distracting them. hehehe
Oh Harry. I’m so so sorry.
Ok – 8 reasons why not to join Twitter:
1. I have plenty to do already
2. I don’t care what kind of cream RLD likes to put in her coffee
3. The Twitter template is boring
4. I already socialize online in blogs and forums
5. Business-wise, for the amount of time and effort I would put into talking and socializing on Twitter I could put to use elsewhere that will drive much better targeted traffic to my site
6. I could never keep up with Brett because he reads about 90 times faster than me
7. I have a job and family that I ignore enough while working my business
8. If I ever took up knitting and felt the need to tell everyone on Twitter I’d never hear the end of it from James
9. I might learn what makes Harry tick
Harry . . . noooooo! I promise to protect all that you once loved before you left me for Twitter!
Ok, that sounded a little gay.
John Hoff’s last blog post..Negotiating: It Never Hurts To Ask
@ Brett – my wife is Fluffy. (uh, just kidding my sweetie)
* you think she bought it? *
@ James – Fight dirty? Damn. My secret is out. I’m a business man. Just wait until my son starts soccer and I have to deal with the soccer moms. They won’t know what hit them. They’ll be like, “I don’t know what’s wrong but since my daughter drank that punch she’s been a little sluggish. Meanwhile, my son will win the MVP award.”
. . . Lord I apologize. That was wrong of me
Oh and my PayPal account is . . .
Also, I’ve read those speed reading books. I’m like Bazarro. They made me read slower for awhile.
@ Harry – wait, I can’t see the new Sith Lord. Where did he go? Oh – that’s where. He’s telling someone how he had to sharpen a pencil on Twitter. hehehehe.
Should I be scared of the new idea for a post???
John Hoff’s last blog post..Negotiating: It Never Hurts To Ask
Man – I better never write a post on my blog about weird things about me. I’ll get hammered for sure!
John Hoff’s last blog post..Negotiating: It Never Hurts To Ask
@ John: oh, we’re all good folks here as you know…
@ Anyone not on Twitter: here’s an example of what you’ve been missing today, we talked about Unibroue beers from Quebec (mmmmmm, Quebec liquor), especially Maudite, and I put up a link to an old National Film Board of Canada video
http://www.veoh.com/videos/v6525286sZGShjeH
Check it out, it’s a classic…
Brett Legree’s last blog post..the road ahead.
@ John: (laughing out loud while reading your mini-anti-Twitter rant) I can also speed read backwards and upside down too
I still love your latest post and remember:
Never say NO to Fluffy!
Brett Legree’s last blog post..the road ahead.
@ John:
1. I have plenty to do already
True. I do, too, which is why Harry was stunned I joined.
2. I don’t care what kind of cream RLD likes to put in her coffee
Well, now, that’s kind of interesting to me. I like that sort of stuff. It’s *intriguing* about people to know what they’re thinking and doing.
3. The Twitter template is boring
Cripes yes. But we now offer dirt-cheap Twitter page customization. You can get one too, bro…
4. I already socialize online in blogs and forums
I do, too. One can never schmooze enough.
5. Business-wise, for the amount of time and effort I would put into talking and socializing on Twitter I could put to use elsewhere that will drive much better targeted traffic to my site
Um, that’s been the story of my life for years now. There are ALWAYS better places to spend my time. I recognize that I’m procrastinating and accept that part of my personality. By using Twitter as a resource tool to procrastinate more, I’m actually embracing that side of me. Get in touch with yourself, John. It’s a good thing.
6. I could never keep up with Brett because he reads about 90 times faster than me
I read faster than Brett – HA!
7. I have a job and family that I ignore enough while working my business
Okay, now that’s just cruel. I mean, man. Guilt tripping? That’s below the belt. *slumps under the weight* Dude, you fight dirty.
8. If I ever took up knitting and felt the need to tell everyone on Twitter I’d never hear the end of it from James
Dude. You fight dirty. S’all I’m saying. That, and knitting needles make a vicious weapon.
9. I might learn what makes Harry tick
Oh god, if you learn that, could you let me know, please? Please?! I’d pay you. I swear. I have really good credit and everything.
@ James: John’s just jealous because he heard you were going to start a competing service called “Knitter” and he didn’t think of it first…
You know what’s cool about this is all kinds of people are sending me follow requests and I’m not even sure who they are and I don’t care – they have lots to say!
@ John: James does read faster than I do. And in both official languages of Canada, too. But that’s cool. He likes Maudite…
Brett Legree’s last blog post..the road ahead.
@John & James: All I can say is #9 gave me a GREAT idea for another post.
You do realize that after I write it, I’ll have to eliminate all who read it.
Be careful what you wish for.
Ominous laughter fades into the background as Darth Reason retreats to command his Twitter Zombie troupes. Ever so faintly the bewildered masses can hear “World domination is now close at hand…now where’d I put the keys to the Death Star?
. . . you’re all on Twitter, aren’t you.

1 more Weird Thing About Harry
He watches Bambi.
John Hoff’s last blog post..Negotiating: It Never Hurts To Ask
With a two year old in the house, I live Disney films.
John Hoff’s last blog post..Negotiating: It Never Hurts To Ask
@ Brett – Fluffy was my idea and so was the “Never say NO to Fluffy”…..Fluffy is symbolic of every female in the world
Glad you like the post!
@ all of the Facebook people – I have a my space page and I don’t even keep up on that…I had a Thanksgiving background on it up until a few weeks ago!
The ONLY reason I even have that is so it is easier for my family and out of town friends to get in touch with me..John hates my space!!!
@ Harry – I am not nor will I ever be a Twitter account holder….just the name is stupid!!! That gives an entirely new meaning to “twitterpated”
Oh for those of you unfamiliar with Disney movies it used to mean in love
reason #13.2 – YOU ARE WEAK!!!!!
@Lindsey: I can name that film: Bambi
@John: You’re cracking me up.
John,
You rock. The same things Harry knew a few days ago are still true, even when he’s running the fever and all. In six weeks James and Harry will have to do some 12-step program to get back to their loved ones and paying their bills.
Need new voodoo doll. Oh, Harry, I was sure sure that you were the voice of reason here…
I haven’t been around all day to see this mayhem. Just as well. (Far more that I can’t see, and didn’t miss.)
Oh, and BTW. I am definitely not fluffy. Take one woman off that list of every female. Clearly, I’m rather prickly at the moment. Fluffy, never.
Regards,
Kelly
Kelly’s last blog post..Engineering Delight: Interactive Experience
We are all grown men who watch toons.
If it were up to me, and it’s not, I’d be watching The Apprentice, Survivor, Smallville, and Flip This House.
But, I watch Mickey Mouse instead. James, I think you’re a few years ahead of me, but I’ll be there soon.
John Hoff’s last blog post..Negotiating: It Never Hurts To Ask
@ Kelly – check out the last post on my blog (my wife wrote it). Look at the picture and you’ll see what (who) Fluffy is. Are you still not Fluffy?
@ Harry – we can still be friends even though you’ve been assimilated into the Twitter collective.
John Hoff’s last blog post..Negotiating: It Never Hurts To Ask
@John: I grew up on Disney films, what can I say?
Well,
I am laughing a lot harder, but still not Fluffy. She didn’t have a link under the Fluffy-philosophy thing so I didn’t get to snoop on her first… and I didn’t realize you were being literal when you said your wife was Fluffy. Ha!
That photo is precious.
I’ve known Fluffys, but no, not me… very long fuse here and my fantasies don’t run that way either. I generally wish folks would eat a poisoned burger or something passive like that rather than wishing to blast them. (Capricorn? Or life experiences? Long fuse has been very necessary in my past.)
I’m still laughing, thanks for clueing me in!
Later,
Kelly
Kelly’s last blog post..Engineering Delight: Interactive Experience
Yes, John. We are *all* on Twitter. It’s too late, my friend. Give up hope.
As for who watches Bambi, you have it wrong. James is the local Disney fanboy. James also watches Dora, Diego, the Comfy Couch, the Backyardigans, Franny’s Feet, Henry’s World, the Koala Brothers (YES!!), Little Bear and 4 Square (that show should be banned). He’s also familiar with Pixar Films, Dreamsomething and whatever the other cartoon producers are.
All by force. Because James would prefer to watch Lost, CSI, House and Nip/Tuck.
I still watch cartoons and play with motorcycles.
Amy,
Resist the spreading of the virus. You are in close contact, and this is a dangerous fever. Maybe we should do a quarantine or something.
You are already in recovery, tread carefully.
Harry,
Go rent Lost Weekend, because this is yours.
Until later…

@ Amy – noooooooo. Don’t give in. Don’t leave me the lone wolf who’s not been Twitterized. What’s your mailing address – I’ll send you 5 cases of Red Bull.
Hey, wait a second. Where’s Brett? Oh, he must be on Twitter telling Harry how he ties his shoelaces. hehe
John Hoff’s last blog post..Negotiating: It Never Hurts To Ask
Ahem. Not alone. Here in the silence, listening to the crickets chirp, 3 caballeros. And Fluffy, don’t forget Fluffy. Well, of course, you can’t, and that image is going to be with me a while so I won’t, either.
Kelly’s last blog post..Engineering Delight: Interactive Experience
Amy,
Ya gotta search “Fluffy” on these endless comments (just on this page, I mean. I didn’t get it either, then John explains it, then I laugh. A lot. You will too.
No, not a voodoo doll, but I am considering whether little Pen can really take the pins for two Men, because boy does Harry need it. He hasn’t even fed his cats. Too busy with his head… oh, well I said that already elsewhere.
Bedtime, caballeros.
Kelly’s last blog post..Engineering Delight: Interactive Experience
@ Brett – oh man. C’mon. Don’t give me that image ever again, please! Beer – good. I’m drinking too and starting to feel it so I best not post too much more or I might divulge all my little secrets. And I don’t wanna scare anyone,
@ Kelly – crap! Sorry, like I said, I’m get’n tipsy with da beer. I know you got my back!
@ Amy – Check out my blog and you’ll see who Fluffy is.

Isn’t anyone else disturbed that Brett isn’t wearing shoes?
John Hoff’s last blog post..Negotiating: It Never Hurts To Ask
Kelly – I will resist. I have enough stalkers already.
But I am not kidding about being impulsive when I’m tired. I have a tall stack of books puchased on amazon and never cracked for this reason. And about 12 blogs I forget to update. And 407 Rss feeds I never look at.

(You can’t resist, BTW – you will be assimilated)

Yes, it’s true. I was knitting. While wearing a leather kilt. Commando style. And no shoes.
(well, maybe I just had a couple of beers)

*ahem*
@Kelly: The cats have been fed. I couldn’t risk a feline uprising. Lost Weekend, eh? Why does everyone think I have a problem? Just for the record, I can quit any day.
@John: Managing Twitter is no different than having to manage the constant flow of IM’s I used to get from players when my RPGs were active. See, there’s this little desktop thingie called Twhirl that sits on my desktop. Messages come in and I don’t have to get addicted to checking my account every ten seconds to see who’s tied their shoelaces.
@Amy: “BUT MOM!!! Everyone else is doing it!”
“Harold, if everyone decided to jump off the Hoover Dam into the Colorado River, would you do that too?”
“Don’t call me Harold. It’s Lord Darth Reason…”
“Harold, ‘Lord Darth Reason’ was the dog’s name.”
@ John: believe it or not, I run without shoes… and it’s great!
(I think that should have been in the “7 Wierd Things About Harry” comments)
Brett Legree’s last blog post..the road ahead.
Harry,
I’ve never heard of Marillion (not in the sense that I’ve never heard of fetishes) but luckily their site says they are “one of the best kept secrets in the U.K.,” which is because they are all on Twitter instead of out promoting their work.
The site also compares them to the Beatles. I like the Beatles, not LOVE them they way some people do, but I am aware that this is utter sacrilege and a sure ticket to h-e-double-hockey-sticks as my daughter says. (My spell check thinks Beatles is spelled wrong. Little red underlines all over this. Come on.
Harrison is much prettier (?) than Harold. It’s very musical with your last name. Show off your parents’ good taste—what’s the middle name?
I also like “Harry” (the nickname, not the Man With Twitter Problem), because I have a soft spot for this guy.
Gotta go. I spent so many hours finishing a job yesterday my eyes are still hurting.
[Amy, I'm thinking red wool today, wherever you are. Black silk pant. Feeling like being va-voom, suit or not. Enjoy your suited day. I will never show you a picture of my closet lest you break out in hives.
]
Regards,
Kelly
Kelly’s last blog post..Engineering Delight: Interactive Experience
Wow. That’s A LOT of comments.
@Kelly: Marillion did the song “Kayliegh” back in the ’80s. Next to Aerosmith, this is my all time favorite group. Well, old Marillion is. Don’t care too much for the new group after their lead singer, Fish, left. Fish isn’t the best singer in the world, but he’s got a lot of personality and I like the way he puts together lyrics.
Yeah, I like Harrison too. Amy gave me Harold (not sure why) and the middle name is Connor.
@Joohliah: yup, lots of comments. But that’s normal around here.
Kelly – when yelling mom-style, Harold rolls off my told better than Harrison. Plus everyone in my world must have a nickname. I won’t tell you what Brett’s is… You are Suit Chick. But I don’t look good in red (or black). I am very pale with light hair. Today is lavender and charcoal grey. There is a wool percentage I think, because I’m feeling a little itchy…
I like your daughter’s version of cussing. That’s how I talked at 10, so watch out. 
John- Fluffy… LOL
Amy’s last blog post..10 Steps to Freelanceaholic Recovery
Long sleeved grey and navy t-shirt and sweats.
I hope I’m still Imperial Dude… unless I got upgraded to Prince Charming.
James – you are Imperial Dude, short for Imperialistic Ruler Dude LOL
I am SO used to sweats. This attire bites donkey bits. I will probably have hives by the time I have to speak. Oh well – take the focus off my bad public speaking skills. Hehe.
Amy’s last blog post..10 Steps to Freelanceaholic Recovery
Harry,
Your parents have very fine taste. Your full name is like poetry. Beautiful. I’m in love with the sound of it. (Connor was one of the names I was considering if my little she had been a he. Lovely.)
Amy,
That’s exactly what I figured about the “Har-old!” I can almost hear it.
The suit was mine, although I ended up in a different one. I never make up my mind until I walk into the closet and see what speaks to me, and when I got there the red wool said “uh, uh, honey, not today.” Lavender and charcoal sounds perfect. (The hives aren’t even waiting to see pix of 30 suit jackets hanging neatly in my closet, I see.)
No bad language here at home; we don’t even use “stupid” around here, so when she says it she always prefaces it with “Can I tell you what someone at school said today?” and then looks at me funny to see if I’ll turn purple and explode. She’s disappointed, I think, because I never do.
James,
No one in sweats can be Prince Charming, IMHO. Imperial Dude, maybe, but how Charming are sweats?
If you want to see charming you’ll have to head over to the MCE blog.
Wait for it, wait for it…
Regards.
Kelly’s last blog post..Two Handsome Canadians…
@ Kelly – Ah, the charm is all in my personality.
Which, actually, has no effect on you. You’re flirting with my bro, lady. Cripes. She likes biker dudes in leather who are fond of cats. Schmooze, fine Shiraz and strong personality mean nothing. I mean, really. What’s the world coming to?
Oh HEY! Check out the geese! Send them home, would you? They’re freakin’ LOST if they’re down at your place. (They’re actually considered pests up here.)
@Kelly: Finally, someone who appreciates the finer things in life.
@James: Every woman likes a bad boy – even if he’s not such a bad boy, relatively quiet, and has cats. Dark, mysterious and brooding has it’s perks.
(a) No biker dudes need apply.
(b) NO leather.
(c) Cats fine, huskies, better.
(d) Shiraz, fine, champagne, better.
(e) Not flirting, as he is in LV and attached. However, I love and would gladly marry his very elegant name.
(f) No pix of either of you. How the hell could a chick decide who to flirt with anyway?
(g) Oops, y’made me say hell. Twice.
They breed here and march for a couple of weeks, guarding the nest.
“Delaware: A Place to Breed”
Hmm…
Kelly’s last blog post..Two Handsome Canadians…
Dark, mysterious, brooding, and attached has no benefits for SWF in DE.
Kelly’s last blog post..Two Handsome Canadians…
@Kelly: Attached? What (or who) am I attached to? I’m a confirmed, card-carrying bachelor.
@ Harry: you’re sort of attached to Lucifer, no?
Brett Legree’s last blog post..the road ahead.
I thought I read something once about a partner. Like, not James kinda partner, like life kinda partner. I imagined this? Then marry me, pls.
Kelly’s last blog post..Two Handsome Canadians…
PIX FIRST.
Kelly’s last blog post..Two Handsome Canadians…
@ Harry – Dude. She thinks we’re f-ugly.
@ Kelly – I almost choked on my coffee when I hit the “James kinda partner” bit.
Harry has a roommate. Named Pete.
And here I thought I was the only gay one around here. Harold, you got some s’plainin to do! LOL
Amy’s last blog post..When Good Clients Ask for Bad Stuff (or, Why I’m at the Poop Conference)
Harry, I apologize. I really thought I had read the word partner someplace. I should have been flirting with you. PIX FIRST.
The man I plan to marry does do the bike thing, but I forgive him because he hasn’t met me yet, and so doesn’t know how much I value safety.
You’d probably be easier to (stalk) date, but I DON”T KNOW WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE.
Besides I tell friends, Six Degrees of Separation, you never know when I’ll be introduced to the dude I’d love to take to a Maple Leafs game.
This is getting too silly, as Monty Python says.
Kelly’s last blog post..Two Handsome Canadians…
@Kelly: I’d like to say before you get a picture, you’re going to have to get a motorcycle fit for cruising first. But you might just call me on that and get a bike just to spite me.
No, no partner in that sense. Just my friend Pete – and if he saw this convo, he’d probably choke on his coffee too.
@Brett: Lucifer, the cats, and my computer.
@Amy: No matter how I answer that, whether it’s yes or no, people are still going to believe what they want to believe. Either way, it doesn’t bother me at all (or maybe it does on some level, I’ve been hovering over the submit button for the last 15 minutes wondering how this comment is going to be interpreted). Gay men crack me up, I’ve worked with a few that were real characters, but a pretty woman still turns my head any day.
@ Kelly –
Considering the number of times we’ve each heard, “Hey! Did you know you look like…”
Yes, yes. I know. So here. This is about as close as you’ll get to real pix.

I’ll get a bike right after I get on Twitter. And install a car seat in it. To quote someone I respected a week ago, “In a word: No.” Whether you put pictures up of your bad selves or not is unlikely to affect my dating game this weekend.
Partners can be women too, I didn’t mean that by it. Not that I care, LV and all, might as well be gay too. Fine with me. SWF who works in design? I think I’ve barked up the wrong tree once or twice.
Regards,
Kelly

These links are going to annoy me, but not as much as monkey pictures, right? Here I go…
Kelly’s last blog post..Two Handsome Canadians…
First thing that came out of my mouth was quite foul. Can’t print it here.
Kelly’s last blog post..Two Handsome Canadians…
@Kelly: No apologies required. I get that a lot and really, it doesn’t bother me.
Looks like Keanu rides a Norton. British bike, they don’t make’em anymore. And no kids on the bike until their feet can reach the footpegs.
@James: Hey! Way to go, bro!
Well, clearly I couldn’t care less about who is gay, straight, trans-whatever. But all the Kelly talk about pictures HAS made me wonder what you and James look like. Not because I’m interested in your trees, but just because … well, I dunno… it is Kelly’s fault!! (Kelly, his cats are cute, for what that’s worth. I’d marry him for the cats.)

@Amy: damn, two marriage proposals in one day. If you guys aren’t careful I might end up with an ego bigger than James’.
@Kelly: Foul? Why foul?
First a big ha! Then, to James, who can hear me I believe… S–thead.
I could put a picture of Pamela Anderson on my blog (traffic booster, hmm…) but what’s the point?
Should have given me the monkey pictures like I deserve. Otherwise, harumpf!
Kelly’s last blog post..Two Handsome Canadians…
Amy,
“…interested in your trees” LOL!
James thinks I’m interested in Harry’s trees, maybe he’s jealous. Harry’s trees are too damn far away. What am I supposed to do with trees in LV, or Canada either for that matter?
Kelly’s last blog post..Two Handsome Canadians…
@ Kelly – I hear that.
*shrugs* I came as close as I could without being a complete ninny. And for some reason, I never thought of monkey pictures.
–> Hates Pam’s plastic tits.
Harry, do they get along with rabbits? If so, I’d be perfectly happy with a half-year winter arrangement — winters here suck. Sight unseen is fine with me for a sexless marriage… although we’d need some sort of agreement about girls on the side. You leave mine alone, I will leave yours alone. Work for you? LOL
Amy’s last blog post..When Good Clients Ask for Bad Stuff (or, Why I’m at the Poop Conference)
@ Kelly: you cut down the trees, and plant crops (hi James)
@ Harry: right on, bro – Lucifer, your Pixie Bob(s), and your computer. Keep on keepin’ on, you got it figured out…
Brett Legree’s last blog post..the road ahead.
@Amy: You are a bold one, aren’t you?
@ Harry: PS – I know they’re not all Pixie Bobs, just didn’t know all of the breeds… my Bill is just a domestic long hair as far as I know. A *really* BIG DLH. With a snaggletooth.
Oh, and Marillion is cool.
Brett Legree’s last blog post..the road ahead.
Harry – yep! Off to talk about poop now. Don’t marry Kelly till I get back.
Amy’s last blog post..When Good Clients Ask for Bad Stuff (or, Why I’m at the Poop Conference)
Harry,
For clarity, not apologizing for assuming a gender. I didn’t know what gender. I just thought I read the word partner, as in attached.
If you know him, the Maple Leafs tix are on me. There, it’s in print forever, so I can regret it like Naomi said today on her blog.
James,
You did not come as close as you could. You could have out up pictures of you. There is no try, there is only do or not do.
Just for curiosity’s sake and cuz I’m a sucker, are you Brad Pitt or is that Harry? I can’t believe I’m even asking. The dark dude is way yummy, he can share a little Madame Pommery with me anytime. Who is he? Does he live in Delaware?
Brett,
My tree is planted here by Delaware law or it would be out of here in a heartbeat. I love my work but it’s mobile and I’ve kept it that way on purpose. (Joint custody bites.)
Seed is mighty hard to get from far flung places to here, so local trees only need apply, I’d have to say. Sad but true. (Strong, gorgeous, and self-made, please, with a delicious name like Harrison Connor McLeod. Like music. Since it’s in print forever I might as well be specific. Persons who ride blankety-blank British bikes can travel for work, so what’s moving to Philly or Delaware to date a neat chick? )
Later…
Kelly’s last blog post..Two Handsome Canadians…
@Kelly: I’m the “yummy” one. That’s Jamie Newton from the Guatemala Survivor season.
Then, I shall return to flirting with you, though I am trying to work. (I don’t watch Survivor, so if that’s a problem you’re out.) Yummy men who do move here get my Friday nights. Everybody else can see me on Saturdays.
For Brett, after he’s one Moosehead over the line, and in case he’s not here right now: This. Is. Humorous. He’ll have to fight for Fridays like everybody else.
Kelly’s last blog post..Two Handsome Canadians…
@Kelly: Flirt all you want, it’s good for the soul.
@ Kelly: care for a Moosehead?
Brett Legree’s last blog post..the road ahead.
In a word: Guinness.
Ooh, wait, how about a Black Velvet? Guinness and champagne. Going to see what I can do about that now. That sounds very Friday.
Are you stalking me, you handsome Canadian?
BTW go back to Amy’s post if you don’t have a handy-dandy comment feed because that comment of hers killed me and I wrote right back.
Cheers!
Kelly’s last blog post..Leonardo DiCaprio Sent Me a Letter Today
I have a few of those here
(this is like fishing)
*ahem* who, me, stalking you?
(hides trench coat and mirrored sunglasses, straightens up posture after being called a handsome Canadian)
Damn. Now I’ll have to go find a drink, you’ve corrupted me, woman…
Brett Legree’s last blog post..the road ahead.
I used to think James was stalking me. Then I worried James would think I was stalking him. I have since learned that he’s just loose and I just read a lot.
No worries, dude. You are attached. I only corrupt single men.
I am fair sure you cannot blame me for your love of the drink.
Later…
Kelly’s last blog post..Leonardo DiCaprio Sent Me a Letter Today
No, you are right. I cannot blame you, I was corrupted a long time ago, by my lovely wife. And I’ll have to blame my Irish-half (or was it my French-Canadian half) for my ethanol addiction.
In any case, I raise my glass to you, my friend!
Brett Legree’s last blog post..the road ahead.
I don’t stalk anyone unless they have the biggest opportunity for me to observe their successful business behavior and model my own after only the victorious aspects. World domination takes concentration and focus, you know.
Hehehe… I’ve been called a lot of things, Kelly, but loose ain’t one of ‘em. Unless it maens something different down in the States than it does up here.
James,
Model this. Get off Twitter.
You call yourself a (comment) ho, and that don’t mean anything different down here…
Brett,
Sláinte. I’ve got a quarter French in me, more than half Irish, and some German and bit besides. I’m doomed to love a good drink, and so was my entire genealogy.
Fishing for James sure worked, eh?
Later…
Kelly’s last blog post..Leonardo DiCaprio Sent Me a Letter Today
Mmm… Kelly? Have another drink and mellow out. You’re getting nasty.
Ooh, I didn’t mean to be nasty, sorry. Absolutely not.
Kelly’s last blog post..Leonardo DiCaprio Sent Me a Letter Today
It’s cool. Text doesn’t always translate well, especially later at night.
Just move that pin away from Little Pen’s crotch, would you?
I like your writing style.. I just subscribed to your blog this morning and started reading it just now (its 1700hrs here in bangkok, thailand now). And i have also followed you on Twitter..
