It's a cologne, an insect repellent, and a delicious marinade for seafood. (And it finds that slipper that's been at large under the chaise lounge for several weeks.)

cross-linking sounds so sexy...but shhhhh, don't tell them or they'll want to do it, too.

Tophat665

Not really, but I hear it makes mounds of julienne fries. And just look at that Tomato!

Cross linking isn't as sexy as you think. You always end up in a Christian site.

Does anyone remember being a child, say...oh , anywhere from age four on up,
and that weird feeling you would get in your stomach, after trying to get one of the adults
that you looked up to and respected to listen?

You would try to join in on the conversation, and would be promptly shussed, LOUDLY.

I have great hope and expectation, that we are evolving past the days of, "children should be seen, and not heard."

Heh..it won't be that much longer,
and I will be sporting one of those Miracle Ears.

Wow...think of the possibilities of having a miracle ear!

Ourcrazymodern?

I still don't perceive them - maybe "they" aren't really there?

As long as we don't come out and actually say who "they" are, they won't even know we're taking about them. After all, they seem pretty stupid so far. I'm starting to think we don't even have to be shhhhhh quiet when they're around because they're so dumb.

jewels

Oh they'll hear. They always hear when you don't want 'em to. SHHHHH!

hey, who said that? Is it them again? Maybe they're smarter than I thought ...mums the word....shhhhh

My voice projects across the entire universe.

(I Blame the acting lessons.)

I am incabable of being quiet. When I try to whisper,
people keep saying..."speak up! I can't hear you!"

My tendency towards muttering has greatly improved.

Enunciate, is a fun word to enunciate.

BadNick

...enunciate sounds like something bad you'd do with a nun. If there are nuns in here, let's be quiet, sneak up on them, and when the least expect it, we'll enunciate them!

girldetective

Nuns can carry ear trumpets under their habits.

I've been gone for weeks, I come back and you are talking to THEM.

If we've been talking to THEM, then probably we ought to stock up on sugar, gasoline, and automatic weapons before we are visited by strange monsters from the recent past.

I talk to myself all the time,
and in my sleep also.

Don't be worried mommy,
I talk to strangers too.

Tophat665

The question is you talk to strangers than what?

BadNick

maybe if we start yelling and talking loud at them instead of all the "Shhh" stuff, they'll get confused and think they're not one of them since we're not "Shhh"ing them, so then they'll just leave us alone, and then we can get back to Shhh'ing about them....sadly that makes sense to me.

ring

They are gone for good.
It's only us here people,
as it's always been.

jewels

Are they ever truly gone?

Yes, it's definitely a conspiracy.
