I need a good boffin.

Post by Heston »

Everything on my IMCT page has shrank, words are really little and hard to read. Other pages aren't like this, I may have pushed a funny button by mistake. Any clues?

If this had been "I need a good boffing," I wouldn't have responded.

I did consider typing boffin', but my technical issues would never have gotten resolved.

(11:17:17 PM) creets: I would do Mr. Tumnas.
(11:17:20 PM) creets: just sayin'.
(11:17:29 PM) eumaas: Yeah?
(11:17:42 PM) creets: yeah, he seems like he'd be really nice
(11:18:02 PM) eumaas: A faun's a sort of satyr, right?
(11:18:08 PM) creets: yeah
(11:18:29 PM) creets: but like
(11:18:33 PM) creets: he'd make me tea and shit
(11:18:41 PM) creets: crumpets and suchs
(11:18:43 PM) creets: such*
(11:18:50 PM) eumaas: Yeah, sounds like kind of a pussy to me.
(11:19:04 PM) creets: I'm kind of a dick though
(11:19:07 PM) creets: so it'd work
(11:19:10 PM) eumaas: a proper satyr is all about drinking and fucking, you know?
(11:19:17 PM) eumaas: And playing the pipes.
(11:19:26 PM) creets: yes I know
(11:19:34 PM) eumaas: like Bill Hicks's Goatboy
(11:20:07 PM) eumaas: Tumnus is just kind of a pussy
(11:20:17 PM) creets: so?
(11:20:36 PM) eumaas: I just don't see what you see in him
(11:20:50 PM) eumaas: I think he's bad for you. You should stop drinking his tea.
(11:21:00 PM) creets: I'd need variety in a world of Sean Connery/Burt Reynolds mermen and Bruce Campbell Centaurs
(11:21:01 PM) eumaas: Stay out of that cupboard.
(11:21:10 PM) creets: and Minotaurs who make me feel like shit
(11:21:10 PM) eumaas: Well
(11:21:18 PM) eumaas: I mean, he'll make you feel better than the minotaur
(11:21:21 PM) eumaas: since he's so pathetic
(11:21:24 PM) eumaas: but come on.

...

23:22 creets well
23:22 creets it's like
23:22 creets after
23:22 creets I'd be all "that was ok. now make me some tea"
23:22 creets "and shit."
23:22 creets "crumpets and such"
23:23 eumaas scones and shit
23:23 eumaas "biscuits"
23:23 creets but then after tea-time we'd cuddle.
23:23 creets or
23:23 creets "snuggle"
23:23 eumaas No bagels, though. I bet Tumnus hates jews.
23:23 creets then I'd do the minotaur and make him watch.
23:24 eumaas Whoa
23:24 eumaas Now you're fucking the minotaur?
23:24 eumaas I thought he made you feel bad
23:24 creets just to show tumnus what's what.
23:24 creets and because I am a woman.
23:24 eumaas Man, you are a cruel-hearted bitch.
23:25 eumaas I bet he'd cry.
23:25 creets then I'd be like "I love you tumnus."
23:25 eumaas That is cold.
23:25 creets and all like "make me and minotaur some scones?"
23:26 creets and he'd totally do it
23:26 creets dude
23:26 creets I should go to Narnia and fuck everyone
23:26 creets I'd be queen!

...

(11:37:26 PM) creets: it just depends on how mouthy tumnus gets on certain days
(11:37:33 PM) creets: like he can be a total bitch sometimes
(11:37:40 PM) eumaas: He does seem like he could get all passive aggressive
(11:37:41 PM) creets: all demanding respect
(11:37:57 PM) creets: yeah
(11:38:01 PM) creets: through notes
(11:38:14 PM) creets: he demands respect on post-its all over the house
(11:38:20 PM) creets: and I'm all
(11:38:31 PM) eumaas: "I cleaned the centaur semen off the rug for you."
(11:38:43 PM) creets: "minotaur wants some biscuits for when we're finished"
(11:38:57 PM) eumaas: and you're like, fuck you Tumnus, what I do with Bruce Campbell Centaur is my business
(11:39:07 PM) creets: yeah!
(11:39:18 PM) eumaas: but it's hard to call him out on it
(11:39:24 PM) eumaas: because it's not explicitly aggressive
(11:39:32 PM) creets: hey
(11:39:32 PM) eumaas: What a little bitch.
(11:39:36 PM) creets: he knew what he was getting into
(11:39:44 PM) eumaas: I suppose
(11:39:45 PM) creets: he stays in the house though
(11:39:53 PM) creets: just in case he sees someone attractive
(11:39:59 PM) creets: and stops paying attention to me.
(11:40:13 PM) eumaas: You think he'd walk out on you?
(11:40:22 PM) eumaas: Dude
(11:40:26 PM) creets: wut
(11:40:29 PM) eumaas: What if he's seeing the minotaur on the side?
(11:40:37 PM) creets: impossible
(11:40:48 PM) creets: ...
(11:40:49 PM) creets: right?
(11:40:51 PM) eumaas: I dunno
(11:40:54 PM) creets: RIGHT?
(11:40:54 PM) eumaas: How would you tell?
(11:40:59 PM) creets: I don't know!
(11:41:02 PM) eumaas: See?!
(11:41:11 PM) eumaas: He's totally going out on you with the minotaur
(11:41:26 PM) creets: he's not!
(11:42:13 PM) eumaas: Denial ain't just a river in Egypt
