Typos…can you still edit? “With” instead of “will”?

SpatzieLover's avatar

I have no more lurve to give you…

I’d gladly send 7283 your way to start a penguin partay thread!

I must lurve you. I just did math for you ;)

janbb's avatar

Aw – what’s lurve got to do with it, do with it?

JilltheTooth's avatar

Is this the part where I say “All you need is lurve” and the next one says…well. you get it…

janbb's avatar

@JilltheTooth Wouldn’t it be lurverly?

(Can anyone tell I am seriously procrastinating? Have to reread Anna Karenina by Friday.)

JilltheTooth's avatar

I’m so goony and unfocused these days I’d have trouble getting through The Cat in the Hat by Friday. Good luck to ya…

SpatzieLover's avatar

Isn’t she lurvely
The entire thing @janbb…that took me way too long to get through. How ‘bout you re-read the cliff notes or watch the BBC version?

janbb's avatar

Yes, it took me 2 months to read it earlier in the summer. Now I am just skimming to refresh prior to teaching it, but damn there is a lot of plot there! I’m afraid I’ll forget whether they go divorced or didn’t or some major plot point. My brain is fried.

Spoiler Alert

syz's avatar

I dunno – how many did you get?

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

I just gave you a GQ, just to throw some chocolate lurvin your way!! Don’t spend it all in one place!

JilltheTooth's avatar

I’ve had days where I’ve maybe added 5, but gotten mountains of GAs. I figure on those days that I haven’t sufficiently amused the noobs.

syz's avatar

28 GA’s so far today, 1 point (for logging in two days in a row)

rebbel's avatar

@janbb Ah, shoot…., you always put Spoiler Alert first, I guess, before the actual spoiler? :-)

janbb's avatar

Indeed sweetie, but we can still have sex if you ever come to the States and I get about 15 years younger (and singler.)

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

Whoa. The penguin said “fuck” and “sex” in the same day. I think I’m going to have a heart attack. MEDIC!

janbb's avatar

What you don’t think Penguins have fun? How do you think we have chicks?

rebbel's avatar

Next spring he…, the Fuckher Fluther Meet, @janbb?
I should be singler too of course :-)

janbb's avatar

Making Groucho Marx eyebrows.

chyna's avatar

Get an iceberg you two.

janbb's avatar

But it would melt very quickly!

JilltheTooth's avatar

I rather like the whole “penguin with Groucho eyebrows” visual…

Imadethisupwithnoforethought's avatar

I am still pretty new, and I have likely not maxed on you yet.

I am going to go up and GA everything for you. Let me know if it helps.

SpatzieLover's avatar

Whoo-hoo you’re lurve has moved!

janbb's avatar

Your lurve is lifting me higher…...

chyna's avatar

@janbb Now it’s bumping with @imadethisupwithnoforethought? Sheesh, you need two icebergs!

janbb's avatar

@chyna You’re just jealous cause you can’t keep up with the Penguin.

chyna's avatar

Exactly!

CWOTUS's avatar

Ha. Even I know The Cat in the Hat is by Dr. Seuss, @JilltheTooth.

lillycoyote's avatar

All I have for you is penguin lurve

Sorry!

Jeruba's avatar

Hard to tell when you haven’t given us your numbers. One very active day, I counted and found that I’d have gained something like 200 points if they were all worth 5 apiece, but I actually increased by only 15. It’s been a long while since I performed a check like that. But I do take it as a great compliment when this happens because it means that a lot of people have maxed out on points for me, and that is nice to know.

janbb's avatar

@Jeruba I had started counting but realized I didn’t want to indulge my competitive side. The question was asked more rhetorically as an expression of amusement (and a tiny bit of pique.) I’m sure many others have had the same experience.

@lillycoyote Thanks!

filmfann's avatar

I asked a question yesterday, and got 6 GQ’s, yet it is still an orphan!
I am wondering what the record for that is.

erichw1504's avatar

Read the question title with the G and the A lowercase in “GAs”.

Hilarity will ensue.

janbb's avatar

@filmfann I saw that. Guess it was a great question but no one who saw had military experience to write about.

erichw1504's avatar

@SpatzieLover Sure, but I don’t think you could afford me.

JilltheTooth's avatar

Still chuckling about penguin flatulence. I am that juvenile.

erichw1504's avatar

Who would give a fellow jelly some lurve for passing gas anyhow?

JilltheTooth's avatar

This is why I come to Fluther. The level of intelligent discourse is very high, the topics are interesting and stimulating, capitalization is required, text speak is not allowed, and the moderation keeps us all civil.
And the farts. God, how I love the farts.
Wow, it really has been that kind of day.

SpatzieLover's avatar

@JilltheTooth The farts are the best part. I too, am having that type of day.

erichw1504's avatar

I F*CKING LOVE FARTS!

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

Good God, you people are sick and demented. poop lol

janbb's avatar

That’s it! I will never bitch about not accruing lurve again. See what it descends to!

SpatzieLover's avatar

It is my personal Fluther opinion that all great threads devolve at some point

lillycoyote's avatar

@janbb I understand though, if I’m ever going to make it to 20k some of the people who don’t like me are going to have to put our differences aside and start sending some lurve my way. ;-) I haven’t been here much in the past couple of weeks but I’ve think I’ve been in a holding pattern at around 19500+ for about 6 weeks now.

SpatzieLover's avatar

@lillycoyote You’ll have to talk to noobs if you want a party ;)

lillycoyote's avatar

@SpatzieLover You mean I’m going to have to make new friends here? At my fluther age? That’s hard! :-)

SpatzieLover's avatar

Or you could give a bunch of one sentence smart ass quips…that seems to work for quite a few folks

lillycoyote's avatar

@SpatzieLover I’m not really a one sentence kind of girl. I’m more of a long-winded blowhard.

SpatzieLover's avatar

@lillycoyote I’ve been here 3 yrs and have less lurve than you. You’re preaching to the choir, sister! ;)

JilltheTooth's avatar

@SpatzieLover and @lillycoyote , I have a cute dog avatar. That seems to help.

SpatzieLover's avatar

All that lurve in just one year?!

JilltheTooth's avatar

I tell ya, it’s the dog. Without him, I’m just a silly toof.

lillycoyote's avatar

@JilltheTooth And I have a cute dog!. Should I make my Lizzie’s puppy picture my avatar? That will help, you think? The only thing is that this is the only site where I really never change my avatar and @Jeruba found it mildly disorienting the two or so times I did change it and I don’t like to disorient her, even mildly :-).

JilltheTooth's avatar

Aw, man, I just got @CWOTUS little Dr. Seuss joke. They allow me to vote and drive a car. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

JilltheTooth's avatar

@lillycoyote : Hey, Lizzie would do it for me! (I’ve been maxed on you for awhile, sorry)

lillycoyote's avatar

@JilltheTooth Same here with you. I honestly don’t care that much, it’s just the milestone thing. I’m the kind of person who gets just a little more excited than I should when the odometer on my car turns over. :-)

janbb's avatar

Sooo glad we’re off the embarrassing subject of Penguin farts!

lillycoyote's avatar

@janbb So are the penguins.

Jeruba's avatar

Don’t do it, @lillycoyote! I love you just as you are.

If you’re after lurve, cultivating newcomers seems like a good plan, but typically they don’t know enough to award GAs. How many times have you seen a newbie’s Q receive a dozen helpful, well-thought-out replies that are all still sitting at zero a couple of days later?

janbb's avatar

@Jeruba Yes, I’ve found the exact same thing. There must be a “sweet spot” between newbies and “old farts” (ahem!).

lillycoyote's avatar

@Jeruba Thank you sweetie! I love you just as you are too. If you were ever not Kate Blanchett I would find that more than mildly disorienting. So, don’t worry, I won’t, not just for you, but you were one of my major concerns, of course, but also because I think the “cute puppy” thing is kind of a cheap trick, just to get lurve, don’t you? Plus I would have trouble recognizing myself. :-)

Jeruba's avatar

Did you notice that I finally managed to put a dress with sleeves on her? That took some doing, I’ll tell you. But I was taking her outdoors in a fall landscape, and I didn’t want her to catch a chill.

lillycoyote's avatar

@Jeruba No I didn’t! I bet she’s happy, though hopefully turtlenecks won’t be all the rage this fall, that could be a problem; but really, the weather is getting a bit chilly and that wine color really looks good on her and it’s quite a nice autumn color itself. And by the way, the earring are fabulous!

JilltheTooth's avatar

Hey! My cute puppy was not a cheap trick! It was the only thing I could think of on the spur of the moment. My other choice was a chair…

lillycoyote's avatar

@JilltheTooth I didn’t mean you! You chose your avatar for good reasons. I meant for me, me using my puppy just to get lurve! Pimping her out like some cheap puppy lurve whore.

JilltheTooth's avatar

I lurve me a cheap puppy lurve whore!!!

JilltheTooth's avatar

Maybe we could bedazzle her to make her a really cheap puppy lurve whore!

lillycoyote's avatar

Bedazzle her collar and leash or actually Bedazzle the dog? She won’t even let me clip her nails, I doubt she’s put up with being Bedazzled for even a nanosecond. We could try a mullet on her, maybe. Plus, she’s actually 7 months old now. The cute puppy would be kind of a bait and switch. The could make for some very angry johns.

Jeruba's avatar

I knew that cheap-trick cute puppy remark was going to start a fight! @JilltheTooth, she didn’t mean you, honest. Your puppy is all cuteness and no cheap. >> smooch << to both of you. There.

@lillycoyote, I already tried for a turtleneck and gave up. If I have to use one, I’ll do it with this photo—same occasion, same off-the-shoulder gown, but different pose.

JilltheTooth's avatar

@Jeruba : That’s what I look like when I wear shiny stuff!

Jeruba's avatar

@JilltheTooth, oooh, I should be using you as my avatar! I have a helpless lifelong weakness for shiny things.

Dutchess_III's avatar

I love you guys!!! Although I am pleased that we are finished with the F word. Ah hem.
