Miscellaneous Street - The Soap Opera

I can handle that, RJ.

Now I've got a question for you. Would you like a copy of The Inner Workings of the CIA First Edition? You know, the book that they hunted down and secretly replaced with 2nd editions that were heavily modified. One of my operatives located a case of legit first editions hidden away in an attic in Texas.

Man this hot chocolate is good. Heard an interesting rumor today too. Seems the Hippie Lady has the flu and you'll never guess who gave it to her.
 
Sinus and ear infections, you freaking pervs. :rommie: Little wonder few of you on the Street have reproduced, considering that your understanding of the spread of STDs takes the "square peg in a round hole" concept to places it was never meant to go!

That's the last time I bake brownies for any of you lot. Grmph. :vulcan:
 
Captain Ice was close.

Daniel was just being Daniel.

Jenee was just humoring Daniel - or humouring since, you know, he's from over there ...
 
Know what the worst part was? Me laughing so hard I spewed coffee on my laptop and being unable to honestly explain to my 10-year-old what was so funny. :rommie:
 
I laughed out loud when I read Daniel's post too. But ..., I do that with most of his posts.

He needs to move here so he can make me laugh everyday in person.
 
^^ I just saw on CNN that MLB gave Hippie Lady mono.

Absolutely. I've been looking for a copy of that ever since I read about it in the classified transcript to Kissinger's testimony to the NWO Commission.

Are you kidding? We were reproducing like crazy just last week. That'll teach us.

I wonder why Ziyal didn't stop by the Bookstore when she was here. :confused:
 
Ziyal just happened to be looking through her interplanetary-view thingy (w/ the sound turned on, which she doesn't usually bother w/) at the right moment. Thank goodness she still has RJ's phone number! Embarrassed that she has been using txt spk recently (perhaps as a minor rebellion against the formality on Vulcan?), she composes a text message in concise but proper English...

SO SORRY. I ARRIVED IN TREKBBSVILLE LATE AND RAN OUT OF TIME. HOPED TO SEE YOU AT THE COFFEE SHOP. COME VISIT! WE HAVE A NICE GUEST ROOM. PLEASE TELL THE CRAZY CAT LADY THAT DODGER IS ADJUSTING WELL. HUGS.

OKAY, WILL DO. I WILL TRY TO VISIT VULCAN WHEN THINGS QUIET DOWN ON MISCELLANEOUS STREET.

Actually it was quadrophonic.

That should probably be Quadrophenia.
 
"Windy day today" says Daniel, as he turns on the tv...

...once again, this is a severe weather BZZZT warning. BZZZT...hurricane is likely to impact BZZZT... of tbbs district... BZZZT... hours BZZZT... once again, we warn... BZZZT... to...BZZZT

(*gulp*)

Daniel immediately begins unscrewing and removing the inside doors and nailing them across the windows outside. He doesn't know if it'll help any, but he's seen it done on TV. They didn't have any tornados back in England... except that one time when he was about 4. We got a couple of prissy little "line squalls" since, but here in TBBS ville... oh dear.

"Jenee!! Incoming hurricane! WhadoIdo??"
 
Uhmm.... don't take the doors off the building?

Go to the lumber store and buy some wood to nail over the windows.
 
^Slipping out of role for the moment to say... it isn't shouting. We're sending interplanetary text messages. Remember, I live on Vulcan now. It's the only way I can communicate w/ the rest of you.
 
Now it's started pouring with rain. Icy cold horizonal rain that stings your face in the ever-increasing winds. The sky has darkened.

There's no way Daniel's gonna get to the lumber store and back. But he's got an idea! He takes apart all the stored coffee crates that were once the karaoke stage and starts nailing them up.

CRASH! Down goes someone's fence a few doors down.

"Crap!" goes Daniel as one of his crutches goes flying down the road.
 
"We'll get it later. Let's just get these boards up - and the door back on, before we do anything else."

Jenee notices the bookstore is already boarded up - but, that doesn't really look like wood and how did he, by himself, get it up so quickly? and the deli, too? Thank goodness both RJ and Captain Ice are helping out Hippie Lady and Crazy Cat Lady.
 
The hail has destroyed Hippy Lady's Really Happy Herb Garden. She'd realign the crystals but she simply can't be arsed anymore. After briefly running outside into the appalling weather to shake her fist at the sky and shout "You effing SUCK, universe!" in a most uncharacteristic manner, she runs back inside, grabs some bottled water and leftover lentil loaf, gathers the children and pets and heads for the basement.

She regrets turning down that social housing flat in Alice Springs.
 
MLB and O-Dog are huddled in the basement of the sports bar, which is well stocked and shielded. We also got beer, though O-Dog won't drink it...
