The People Above And Below You

[redsliver]

^ savage, from the French sauvage meaning of the forest. Historically used to refer to Native Americans in a context similar to Barbarian.

< Barbarian, used to refer to those who didn't speak Greek and as such sounded like they kept saying "Barbarbarbarbar" contextually meaning uncivilised

< met the guy who played the young Babar while debating at Dalhousie, man was a pompous jerk.

V would be a pompous jerk too if V had played a beloved childhood cartoon character.

[dazzledfirestar]

^ Knows me better than that!

< Would never be a pompous jerk on purpose.

V Occasionally becomes a pompous jerk by accident.

[quamp]

^ Everyone is somone else's pompous jerk.

< Just today, was called a pompous jerk (and a few ruder things) because < held a door open for a woman.

V Doesn't see the logic in that either.

[dazzledfirestar]

^ held the door for a crazy person.

< wonders what happened to just saying "Thank you" when someone holds a door open for you.

V Wonders the same thing almost daily.

[redsliver]

^ Quite so

< holds doors open all the time and not just because a woman is following me but because it sucks to have a big heavy door dropped into your step.

< also thinks that women should hold doors open for others rather than thinking someone is a chauvanist for being polite.

V agrees completely.

[dazzledfirestar]

^ Is completely right.

< Thinks it has more to do with common courtesy than anything else, and that's obviously gone out of style for most.

V Thinks common courtesy is always cool.

[Guest echtrae]

^ common courtesy kind of person

< thinks the world would be a bit more pleasant if everyone actually took the time for common courtesy (not to mention easier to exploit )

v will attempt to change things by being courteous to someone in the next 24 hours

[dazzledfirestar]

^ Sees the advantages of a courteous world...

< Is trying to figure out how to get everything she needs to get done tomorrow done!

V Thinks there should be more hours in a day.

[Guest echtrae]

^ is having scheduling problems

< knows that more hours would be nice, but would prefer that just less time was spent doing things like work

v thinks that less work is definitely the ticket

[redsliver]

^ on to something

< would like more hours in a night more than in a day.

V sees the benefit of extra night hours.

[Guest echtrae]

^ night owl

< also a night owl

v would like to be a morning person, but it requires caffeine

[dazzledfirestar]

^ Speaks the truth.

< Misses her daily pots of coffee... yes that was pots, plural.

V Doesn't like coffee.

[quamp]

^ Used to work for a coffee creamer company. That really burned me out on the stuff.

< Takes caffine in the form of tea or soft drinks.

V Won't drink tea without something in it.

[dazzledfirestar]

^ Is wrong.

< Is drinking tea right now

V Is not a fan of black tea.

[polywolly]

^ Loses psychic points.

< Drinks tea black and coffee with cream. Will drink coffee black, or really any kind of coffee, except that designer stuff that gets collected from monkey shit.

< Draws the line at Monkey Butt Coffee.

V Has drawn lines just to step over them.

[dazzledfirestar]

^ Knows lines are fun to jump over.

< Agrees about the Monkey Butt Coffee though... that's one line I'm not crossing.

V Will drink<s share of coffee til < gives birth.

[polywolly]

^ Underestimates <.

< Has been drinking ^'s share of coffee for a number of years, as well as ^^^^^^'s, <<<<<>>'s, and probably VVVVVVVV's.

V Will not go back to any vices given up during their pregnancy.

[dazzledfirestar]

^ Has far too much faith in <!

< Wants her caffeine fix at the very least!

V Has no vices they are willing to give up.

[Guest echtrae]

^ is waiting patiently for return of vices

< has a few vices left, but doesn't see the point in giving them up

v has no interest in giving up any vices either

[redsliver]

^ quite right

< likes <'s vices as most of them fall into sloth and lust

V has had good times with wrath and gluttony

[dazzledfirestar]

^ Knows his sins.

< Has had some fun with wrath... but gluttony and I don't hang out too much. Lust though!

V Hasn't had their favorite sin mentioned yet.

[Nanaea]

^ Knows there are many more sins left.

< Points out that we haven't even touched on pride, envy, or greed.

< Has first hand knowledge of all three, but still prefers lust.

V Isn't surprised.

[dazzledfirestar]

^ Is partial to lust.

< Know that most of us around here are!

V Isn't a lust fiend.

[Nanaea]

^ Is obviously thinking of somebody else.

< Lust fiend.

V Feigned friend.

[Guest echtrae]

^ lusty

< married to ^

v found < and ^ being hitched together as news
