Hee hee!

I wrote myself a haiku to commemorate the courageous and tragic event.


Absentmindedly
Playing with stapler in my hand.
OW! There goes finger.

nice. pain is art.

birdsnest - 03:00 - Wed-27-Aug-2008

:D

You should staple a note to your other hand reminding you not to do it again *nod*

bebbet - 03:53 - Wed-27-Aug-2008

Uh huh ;p

There once was a young girl of wales
whose hobbies were beyond the pale
whene'er she was able
she'd drive in a staple
or puncture herself with small nails

There was a young woman from Rhondda
To whom common sense was beyond her
She took no pause
With her hand twixt the jaws
Of a hungry and full-loaded stapler

bebbet - 04:14 - Wed-27-Aug-2008

More importantly, Welsh, what noise did you make?

cherry - 01:11 - Thu-28-Aug-2008

I did that once. I was up at my English teacher's desk (I was 17), and I was playing with the stapler as we spoke. I would put a little pressure on it and would stop when I just barely felt the point of the staple. Then I flinched...

In answer to Cherry's inquiry:

There was a young girl, name of Dely
who howled from deep in her belly
with a staple in finger
or an errant bee stinger
she bellowed like an angry gorill-y.

thedietcokeofevil - 04:47 - Thu-28-Aug-2008

I would LOVE to see that. Imagine Del's lilting soft voice doing an angry gorilly bellow? Heh!

(I just realised that I made that into a question when it's in fact a statement. Such are the changes that internet communication has made to the English language.)

cherry - 05:48 - Thu-28-Aug-2008

Are you sure it's not just a typo?

bebbet - 08:38 - Thu-28-Aug-2008

I actually didn't make any noise. I'm hard as nails.

And I do very often let loose with big 'ROARRRR!!!'s, hehe. Mostly in the house when Ewan won't get me a cookie or some juice. ;o)

My favourite moment that you've written about was when you said that you like to run into the bedroom and hide under the doona, and go "peep!" and Fishpuss has to come and find you.

cherry - 11:43 - Thu-28-Aug-2008

Hehehe. That's if I go to bed before him. I leave him on the sofa doing whatever he's doing and go wash up, brush my toofuses, etc. then get into bed, and when I'm in bed I squeal/roar/yell at him until he comes to tuck me in. ^.^

And if I'm extra special tricksy he falls asleep on the bed while he's doing it and so ends up coming to bed the same time as me.

*wicked grin*

WelshPixie - 12:52 - Thu-28-Aug-2008

Oh she IS tricksy in-DEED.

My goodness.

cherry - 01:52 - Thu-28-Aug-2008

my wife does that too.
more yelling then squealing though.

birdsnest - 02:42 - Thu-28-Aug-2008

I was once splattered with the blood of a young girl who managed to run her finger through a sewing machine along with the fabric she was stitching...

...staples sound more fun though. I did manage to once put a staple in my friend's head from 20 paces. I love industrial sized staplers.

*wants to write a lymeric but is rubbish at them*

*feeds Twisty some Twisties*

cherry - 11:57 - Thu-28-Aug-2008

*doesn't know what Twisties are*

*knows there is also a porn site called Twisties*

*is worried*

Twist - 08:58 - Fri-29-Aug-2008

Pretzels?

I prefer the chicken ones.

cherry - 05:30 - Fri-29-Aug-2008

chicken crisps?
nasty.

birdsnest - 05:31 - Fri-29-Aug-2008

How random. I'll keep a look out for the UK version in the shops here.

Twist - 05:41 - Fri-29-Aug-2008

They're tasteh!

If you can't find them I'll send you some.

cherry - 05:50 - Fri-29-Aug-2008

Chicken Cheetos...

I'd try that.

texican - 12:31 - Sat-30-Aug-2008

It hurts to get a staple in your finger... poor Pixie! Be glad the staple didn't go through your fingernail, though. I did that once. Once was plenty enough, trust me.

Someone is sending Chicken Cheetos to folks? Sounds like interesting foodstuff. ;)

LadyVisine - 03:35 - Sat-30-Aug-2008

There is a word for people who staple their own fingers... stupid.

dantesinferno - 02:26 - Sat-30-Aug-2008

Uh oh... is Dante still upset about eating all the exlax & prune juice here? ;)

LadyVisine - 07:04 - Sat-30-Aug-2008

ouchh...that happened to me once too! PAINFUL!
