I haven't ventured into game stores (neither my dh or I am inclined and my kids are too young!), so I have no idea what goes on in there! I suspect your character descriptions apply to many game stores! How funny it is that you are so easily set for gift-purchasing for your dad!<BR/><BR/>I'm trying to figure out what the Big W is ~ Walmart is my guess?MJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03010547516401501448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339738475389037569.post-4279399527028531162008-11-21T02:39:00.000-08:002008-11-21T02:39:00.000-08:00I'd quite like to inspire a literary genre just en...I'd quite like to inspire a literary genre just entirely based on watching people eat lunch! As I said before, it is fun to do, but then I have to remember to buy something to eat...as for blue eye shadow girl, as I said before, it's a very distant love, and I could make a move, but I am wary of it - she could be anything, and my admiration for her blue eye shadow, polite dilligence at work and great smile could be masking, perhaps, a BNP membership? I guess that's the point - I don't know!Miles McClaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10335102965842725449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339738475389037569.post-70118671847648966072008-11-21T01:24:00.000-08:002008-11-21T01:24:00.000-08:00I'm still catching up, four posts tonight to read ...I'm still catching up, four posts tonight to read and Miley, you're amazing the way you remember. I find myself walking through Castle Hill Food court and coming up with McClaganesque scenarios for lunchers but I can never remember them when I get back to my desk, nor could I describe them the way you do. And, as for Blue Eye Shadow girl (despite the fact that blue eyeshadow is never in fashion) . . make a move man! I have a massive crush on the Brasilian hand cream man who has one of those little stalls. He charms all the middle aged women. I know it but he's beautiful to look at and listen to. I have more manicure products than I know what to do with but as he gently 'creams' my hand I'm somewhere else . .cooo!Bainohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156193098088048637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339738475389037569.post-8285124209296981102008-11-21T00:33:00.000-08:002008-11-21T00:33:00.000-08:00I completely agree - I know nothing at all about b...I completely agree - I know nothing at all about blue eye shadow girl, she may in fact enjoy the comedy of Rob Schneider and have a horrible laugh, but she brightens up my day, and that's good enough for me...I love that comment by the way, it's ace, and so unparagraphed I love it!Miles McClaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10335102965842725449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339738475389037569.post-31127486366691503622008-11-20T13:51:00.000-08:002008-11-20T13:51:00.000-08:00There are crushes one speaks to, but then there ar...There are crushes one speaks to, but then there are some you keep distant. I love a good unrequited crush. It's great. One gets a thrill everytime one sees them without any of their actual personality to potenitally spoil things. In ones head people can be anything you want. It's a beautifully consistant delight that can last for years. Whereas if you speak to them, it turns out they have a really annoying laugh that grates on your nerves and won't listen to Queen because the lead singer was gay and they are so homophobic that the very idea of listening to a gay man sing makes them shudder, and then what if there is nobody else around that you can make eyes at when they aren't looking and you are left stranded in an empty existance with nothing to look forward to at lunchtime apart possibly seeing some complete stranger trip and go arse-up when they are crossing a street.Mad Cat Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09940290694429568842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339738475389037569.post-64586829491627385582008-11-20T12:05:00.000-08:002008-11-20T12:05:00.000-08:00http://womansday.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=11...http://womansday.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=11256<BR/><BR/>Absolutely delicious they are, in the right hands they can be made to taste positively exotic...Miles McClaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10335102965842725449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339738475389037569.post-80181102466694295842008-11-20T06:38:00.000-08:002008-11-20T06:38:00.000-08:00I'll have a hedgehog slice please.

I did consider that to be honest, some sort of grand and hopelessly demented romantic gesture, but I knew a guy who fancied a girl in a travel agent and sent her a copy of James Blunts You're Beautiful...it plays on my mind!

Ive been looking in and am enjoying it.<BR/>nice to know your a footie fan, even though you may be Scottish, heres hoping you will never walk alone.<BR/><BR/>My advice (and I'll put it in my arse if requested), walk up to blue eye-shadow chick, give her a card, inside are your blog details, and a request for a chapperoned date.<BR/>Any chick who can be admired thus so is gonna be flattered, curious, and interested.<BR/><BR/>Hell its romantic to be admired, but unrequited love (lust), nah, make it happen. Good luck. Keep writing.<BR/><BR/>Cartouche.<BR/><BR/>Oh Lime spiders, Ice cold cream soda, that should help.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
