But...but...I like smoking ants.

I especially like the little *POP* they make at the end.

I'm not as excited by the ants smoking as by the camel. The camel looks suave and cool. The ants look a little gamey and beady-eyed. Gimme a caterpillar sucking on a cigarillo any day, and I am totally buying your brand.

people on my livejournal list keep making comments about the awful editing of the TC...and it makes me laugh because my prof is the editor. hah.

I think you should probably be forced to wear a t-shirt with a picture of someone laughing themselves to death on it. As a warning to consumers.

And who, precisely, would be consuming me?

oh, me too!

[radiantfracture]

But then I have that thing about caterpillars.

[radiantfracture]

I didn't know you could do both. I guess you can't do both *well*.

[radiantfracture]

well, for one, the ants. you deserve it.

[chromemagpie.livejournal.com]

Au contraire. Have you ever lived with carpenter ants?!

[radiantfracture]

Not before marriage.

[chromemagpie.livejournal.com]

Perish the thought. I'm sure Dog hates ants that live in sin. Right up there with shrimp.

(This battle of wit would be so much faster if you had MSN.)

It's true that the two to six minute gap between posts does us no credit.

The pathetic thing is I'm rather enjoying myself.

[radiantfracture]

See, me too. That's why I'm not worrying about it.

Although I do always think "And why am I not just talking to you?"

But the truth is, I like text better than almost anything. Even boys and candy.

[chromemagpie.livejournal.com]

Can I get that in writing?

... oh, wait.

[radiantfracture]

drat your infernal schemes!

...you're not a member of that nefarious organization LEPIG, are you?

[chromemagpie.livejournal.com]

I'm sure I have no idea what you're talking about.

[radiantfracture]

that proves nothing!

[chromemagpie.livejournal.com]

be careful my friend... you are walking the i'm-going-to-have-to-kill-you line.

[argus-in-tights.livejournal.com]

Smoking ants is either something you can or can't do, so an ad one way or another just won't help. Really, it's all in the fileting. Fiddley, to be sure. But the exquisite flavour! So worth it. Pair with a nice Semillon...

[radiantfracture]

Oh, see, now that makes sense.
