All Lyra, All The Time

“aawww, that is so sweet! any time, dude. i am just so glad that my offer to have Violin make out with you "picked you up."
:-)”

“hee hee hee! ;-)”

“and thanks for that mental image, Lyra!!”

“more monkey business

”

“Ninja monkeys.....oh boy!”

“Will Her Adorableness grace Susquehanna State Park with her presence and monkeys this weekend?”

“Tom Terrific has a fixation with monkey poop.”

“I got some on my shoe and can't seem to shake it.”

“I'll take the Poop over the Pox ennyday!”

“oh yeah baby! every day should start with this thread! LOL.
;-)

i'm particularly partial to the "swift and masterfully orchestrated barrage of a monkey slapping you silly" part, Tilt. my monkeys looooove to slap!

i'm trying to see if i can make it, Geo! i'm still not sure yet.”

“Watch out!

All this talk of slapping monkeys is getting close to innuendo!”

“See If You Can Get Over 200?”

“Hah, hit 275. Watch out for me!”

“265, I haven't been doing it as long as Geo.”

“Heh..i'm about to buy an RCA lyra MP3 player..so i'll have lyra all the time also!”

“;-) hey there, Violin. hope you had a good weekend!

by the way, you people really need to get help for your obsession.
;-P”

“Lyra, there's cash to be made here, we need a subscription website (you decide the content), a batch of special TT Lyra t-shirts, some signed piccies and a Lyra's DC guided hiking tour.... you'll be raking it in ;o)”

“i think for the guided hiking tour of DC, people would be wanting their money back. on Saturday i tried to go for a short, hour-long bike ride, and it ended up being more like a 3-hour tour. lost, IN MY OWN NEIGHBORHOOD! lol... not that 3 hours is a terribly long ride, but i was starting to panic. ha!!”

“lol, that's not good lyra, never let Lyra navigate. Some poor girl from Mitchigan was lost in my neighbourhood on Saturday. I had to explain to her that going to 14th and T SE was not a good idea at 11 on a Saturday night and she'd be better off going to Northwest - the whole quadrant thing fools so many people - but then you don't even have that excuse do you ;o)”

“14th & T NW ! ! !

Its been a while since I've gotten around D.C.

Twenty years ago I used to see HUNDREDS of people hangin' out along 14th NW and R,S,T,U,V,W, etc.

14th and P(oontang) was usually crawlin' with skanky lookin' pro's.”

"Baby Got Knee"

[Intro]
Oh, my, god. Becky, look at her knees.
They’re so big. *scoff* She looks like,
one of those rap guys' girlfriends.
But, y'know, who understands those rap guys? *scoff*
They only talk to her, because,
she looks like a total prostitute, 'kay?
I mean, her knees, are just so big. *scoff*
I can't believe they’re just so round, they’re like,
out there, I mean - gross. Look!
She's just so ... adorable!

[Sir Mix-a-Lot]
I like big knees and I can not lie
You other brothers can't deny
That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty thigh
And a round joint in your eye
You get sprung, wanna pull up tough
'Cause you notice that knee was stuffed
Deep in the jeans she's wearing
I'm hooked and I can't stop staring
Oh baby, I wanna get wit'cha
And take your picture
My homeboys tried to warn me
But with those knees you got makes
Ooh, Pivot-o'-smooth-skin
You say you wanna get in my Benz?
Well, use me, use me
'Cause you ain't that average groupy
I've seen them dancin'
The hell with romancin'
She's wet, wet,
Got it goin' like a turbo 'Vette
I'm tired of magazines
Sayin' thin knees are the thing
Take the average black man and ask what’s key
She gotta bend much knee
So, fellas! (Yeah!) Fellas! (Yeah!)
Has your girlfriend got the knee? (Hell yeah!)
Tell 'em to shake it! (Shake it!) Shake it! (Shake it!)
Shake that healthy joint!
Baby got knee!”

“AAAHHHHHHH!!! that is the funniest thing ever. now i'm going to cry. LOL!!!!”

“Yo, Ho, with knees like J-Lo.”

“did you just call me a "ho"? you strumpet! ;-)

so Violin, where are you going next week that you'll be in the car for a million hours?”

“Dumb!

”

“No way, Bennifer.
That's like Yo Ho Ho and a bottle of rum kind of thing. Don't be so quick to insult yourself.
You know, it could be worse. Someone could call you a turd.”

“Nag's Head, knees o' plenty.”

“TURD!”

“i would never call you a turd, Dunadan...maybe "turdmuffin" or "turdy-poo" or something...LOL!!

oohhh, i'm going to Nags Head the last week of this month! i cannot wait. and those beeyatches with skinny knees best look the hell out.”

“I'm sure you'll be have plenty o fellas wantin to spread some lotion on em. Don't burn them round beauties.”

“(ghetto voice)

skanny kneed beeeeyatches, step off!”

“Innuendo?”

“I wonder if she has canckles too?”

“they're burned right now! very attractive. what the hell are "canckles," Buddha?”

“I used to think Lyra must be one hip chick, but NO MORE! To think she trashed Bob Dylan because of his harmonica playing. I guess she'll just have to stick with Nsync, Beastie Boys and Bobbie Sherman.”

“canckles = fat ankles.”

“don't worry, it's not only because of his harmonica playing, Limpy-poo. his singing blows, too.
:-D

and shut up about fat on various parts of my bodacious bod before i get paranoid, Buddha!
;-)”

“From Monkeys’ brains move robotic arms:

After removing patches of skull from two monkeys to expose the outer surface of their brains, Nicolelis and his colleagues stuck 96 of those tiny wires about a millimeter deep in one monkey’s brain and 320 of them in the other animal’s brain.

The surgeries were painstaking, taking about 10 hours, and ended with the pouring of a substance like dental cement over the area to substitute for the missing bits of skull.

The monkeys were unaffected by the surgery, Nicolelis said. But now they had tufts of wires protruding from their heads, which could be hooked up to other wires that ran through a computer and on to a large mechanical arm.

Asked if the monkeys seemed to mind the experiments, Nicolelis answered with an emphatic “No.”

“If anything, they’re enjoying themselves playing these games. It enriches their lives,” he said. “You don’t have to do anything to get these guys into their chair. They go right there. That’s play time.””

“Where is that little minx?”

“well, gooood morning! i have crazy amounts of work to do today, but i'm trying to lurk as much as possible in between, of course. i'm also scheming how i can get out of here and have someone expose my brain and stick some wires and stuff in there...playtime, wheeee!
;-P those poor, poor monkeys!

how was your-all's weekend? i was in my friend's wedding, it was a blast. AND i had a dream that my one friend from college was going to be pregnant when i saw her there, and she WAS! i am so psychic, it's not even funny. the wedding was beautiful, even Tarpy shed a tear. not! hee hee hee.”

“Soo, my little secret is out, ehh?

It's about time you got home lyra, now where did we leave off!

squish squish squish squish”

“lyra, Roaring Plains...........10/17-18-19-20......this Friday........just south of Dolly Sods.......be there.”

“cool, i will see what's going on this weekend, Tom! is Monkey Brains going to be there? ;-) and is that monkeyboy's Halloween name? i'm still confused. and frightened.”

“Would you let someone implant electrodes in your skull if you could control a robot that would do all the hard work for you? – cleaning, mowing the lawn, carrying your pack…”

“But I was thinking of a plan
To dye one's whiskers green,
And always use so large a fan
That it could not be seen.
So, having no reply to give
To what the old man said,
I cried, "Come, tell me how you live!"
And thumped him on the head.


from "The White Knight's Song"
Lewis Carroll”

“no way, Violin! i think it would be stressful to have something mechanically do all my work. sitting around makes me go stark-raving mad. if you never did any work, how would you appreciate being able to relax? however, i guess that could be useful for people who don't have the use of their arms/legs or whatever, if they have, for example, been partially eaten by zombies like YOU!

hey there Tilt, did you have fun at TC3? did you touch Matt to make sure he's real? ha!”

“Nope --- I didn't lay a finger on him. He could still be a hologram.”

“lyra, I don't think monkeyboy/brains will be there.

Its too fah from home.”
