The Idle Talk Thread
 

So, I was thinking about random shit while I was in the shower today, and the thought crossed my mind to start an Idle Chatter thread. Here's how it works:

We use all of our superficial idle chatter skills (pony up your best cliches and shitty greetings) to make the longes example of impersonal chatter ever. It works just like a 2 way conversation, one person makes a remark and the next poster offers a response and a new remark.

I'll start:

Hi, how are you doing today???

could be better

so hows the weather?

A bit chilly for my liking...

So, how was your day?

I had better.

So, what you gonna do later?

get REALLY drunk.

so, wats the plan for next week?

Oh you know, same old same old.

But hey, it's better than a sharp stick in the eye, right?

I suppose. I went christmas shopping last week.

Gettin to be that time of year, eh?

and how.

so how are you and old whats-its-name doing? still going ok?

Naw, I had to throw old what's its name off a roof because they needed killing.

Cold enough for ya?

How the hell do you people do this? Ok. I suck at small talk, but I'll give it a shot:

What's cold enough?

So ahh... where are you going?

(I told you I suck)

I haven't decided yet. I usually go to my parents' house for a feed on a Friday night but my car is off the road so getting home would be a pain... unless my brother is there then I can catch a lift with him. I'd be cutting it fine if I'm going to be out for 7o'clock though so I'll probably just go straight home.

You out tonight?

Nah, probably not. More than likely I'll probably be asleep by 9pm.

I love that shirt, where did you get it?

My mom.

You look familiar, have we met before?

If we did it was in another life.

Is there one of those....

New M&Ms candy bars in the store??? Yeah, I saw those last night on TV. Looked good.

So, doing anything special this weekend???

Not really, I got kind of high tonight, and just tried to play video games and it didn't work out very well.

It's cold here, how's the weather where you are?

You know, it snows six inches one day, next day everyone is walking around with shorts on.

Speaking of weather, it's supposed to be nice this weekend. Wanna help me reshingle my house?

Ah, no thanks. My sister's boyfriend's uncle is supposed to be dying this weekend sometime. Good luck though, I just got done reshingling mine. God, that was a bitch.

So, are you all ready for Christmas yet???

Not even close.....

Hey....ya have the time?

Um...quarter past a freckle.

What's your plans for the weekend?

I'm going to wallow in self pity.

So.... You wanna go back to my place?

Not tonight... that infection is acting up again.

How about a movie instead?

-Mikey

nah thanks. i'll take a rain check, please. gotta catch some winks soon yknow.

OMG you look fabulous!!!
have you lost weight? or is it something you've done with your hair?

Yeah, i got a haircut, been trying this new diet. Its like atkins, but you only eat condiments.

Its, uh, good, you should try it sometime

ok Ill answer bernadettes question since you didnt post one elwood.

yeah, Im on the see-food diet, I see food, I eat it!

whats on tv?

ahhh the infamous see-food diet, my favorite diet ever!
and no idea what's airing atm, since i have the television turned off & listening to CDs instead, although i am looking forward to watching "desperate housewives" tonight!.

would you care for a freshly baked cookie?

as long as it's made with butter that has been rendered from marijuana...........


"ere!!!!!!

*passes joint*

Uh. Thanks. *pass it on to the next person*
Anyone want to write my French paper for me?

I wrote the book on frenchin' i'll do it...

Whoa! Didja see the gazongas on that sasquatch?!!?!?

Holy shit! Awesome knockers on a big bitch!!!

So, how's life???

Not bad. I keep trying to make myself get ready for finals but I'd really rather not study.

It's almost Christmas, shouldn't there be snow on the ground?

i suppose it depends on just where live yknow.
there won't be snow on the ground in my valley hood on christmas, but the neighboring mountains possibly may be frosting topped.

do you have any wild plans for new year's eve?

Nope, I'm gonna sit around, (hopefully in my new house) watching Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve, praying Mr. Clark gets through his stroke alright. :(

Hear any good news on the news lately?

No news is good news, so I hear.

I sure hope the sun comes up tomorrow, don't you?

oh yeah. sunlight is a good thing!

but ya gotta admit, sundown is good for sleeping (or partying) & stars in the sky at night are nice, too, right?

I guess they're pretty nice. Not as nice as a flying sasquatch...

You...ever...seen a flying sasquatch?

No. Must be an inspiring sight.

Have you ever seen an elephant ski?

An elephantski? Is that Polish?

Speaking of Polish, do you want the rest of my Polish sausage? Its still warm, nothing wrong with it. Hope you like mustard and relish. Only half gone. I'd finish it, but I think I've overdone it with the sausages today. I've already eaten 4 in the past hour.

um, no thanks. it's cold & flu season & all that yknow.
no offense! just can't be too careful.

but may i offer you a <i>fresh</i> nice warm cup of echinacea tea?

nah, but thanks anyway.

is it okay to talk to & answer yourself?
