Welcome to Gaia! ::

Fan-friggin'-tastic! I heart V Ghosty

Right. The fantastic joke.
Two old school friends met on the street one day. They hadn't seen each other in years and were very excited.
"Ooh, Maude! It's been so long!"
"Clara! It has! Have you been keeping well?"
"Oh, yes! I met this handsome movie star, and we got married."
"Fantastic!"
"Yes! We live in this huge house right on the California shoreline."
"Fantastic!"
"He bought me my own boat!"
"Fantastic!"
"We just got back from England. It was just supposed to be to see some shows at the West End, but he knows the queen, so we visited her for a bit."
"Fantastic!"
"But that's enough about me, Maude. How have you been doing?"
"Oh, very nicely. I've been attending charm school."
"Really? What do they teach there?"
"Not to say 'Bullshit'."

The story continues. My mother's family (she was still a kid at the time) had been passing around this joke for a few weeks, when they all went out for dinner together. Things went along in an unexciting fashion until my aunt ordered a brownie for dessert.
Now, as we all know, most brownies are baked in a pan and cut into squares. Not these ones. These brownies were scooped up with a ice-cream type scoop, dropped onto a cookie sheet, and baked like that.
The brownies comes to the table, and my aunt starts staring at it, because everyone at the table knows what it looks like. And she stares at the brownie.
And then she says, very slowly, "Fan-tastic."
And as she tells the story, they laughed for ten minutes straight because every time they'd calm down, they'd see someone else wiping their eyes, or covering their mouth, and start up again. Or my uncle, the little JD that he was would repeat "Fantastic!" and everyone would start laughing again. So the entire restaurant was staring at this family, laughing really loudly. At a brownie.

As such, when I said they were shitty, and Ghosty's response was "fantastic", I just about died at my computer.

Thank you, toon.

thanks.

Wow... It seems a lot can happen when I'm not paying attention. I've been doing nothing on Gaia recently except Daily Chance and feeding the fish, and even missed a few days, and I was almost ecstatic when I got this invite, seeing that you all did not forget about me. I was curious as to why a new guild was needed, so I read this, and now that I know, I must confess that I have posted in the ultimate giveaway thread, but no more. I have quit the TPD Guild now, and I sent Loke a PM detailing exactly why I left. I cannot stand idly by while my friends suffer, even if I did not know about it at the time. I cannot promise to consistently be active here, as I am always busy, but I can try. Even though we've only just recently met, I feel for all of you, and hope to remain friends for as long as you can stand me. Sorry for the rant. Good story, Ghosty, and awesome pictures, Kitty. I also enjoyed the "Fantastic" story. That was very amusing.

Ah. Nice pictures, Prince.

And it is a good picture indeed.
