Re: Auntie Vickie speaks to Jonathan

Yo! vickie@chinet.chi.il.us (Vickie Ann Mapes) raps:
>Auntie Vickie here.

I think my poor spinster aunt has been using polyurethane in an unventilated
room again.  How else could you explain...

>Why, this sounds so familiar. But, I expected you to say "When the next

>about those who can't hear it" :-) Did your system glitch or something?

Your sarcasm detector is broken, auntie v.  You can borrow mine if you'd
like.

>Why no, I hadn't noticed that at all. The lyrics and the video mean

>Fair enough.

It doesn't mean anything to anyone with more than five functioning brain
cells.  Even Kate admits she's got no clue what it's about.  I think the
video is the outward projection of that inner confusion.  And it's crap.  I
don't buy the parody angle, not for a second.

>No problems. I've done my share of criticizing. Remember when we joined

>"Be Kind To My Mistakes" - ah the memories...

I'm trying very hard to control myself, but this is pushing me to the
limit.  Let me turn on the sarcasm generator: "ooh, vickie, you are SUCH a
rebel."

>Attitude and respect, that's what I was talking about recently. I ruined my

>time I'll have a better attitude about it all and not let my goat get
>gotten. 

I think part of the problem is that it's REALLY fun to bait people with
tendencies to fly off the handle, eg: you.

>ps, how'd you like those Harlequin Romances?

I have absolutely no idea what you are driveling about.  Have you been
inhaling nitrous oxide without mixing in a good percentage of oxygen again?
