blamebrampton: 15th century woodcut of a hound (Default)

Public notice

Lost: Brammer's talent
Last seen: Around HP10K time, though, if we're honest, it's all been downhill since 'Who? Voldemort?' 'No, Peter Mandelson.'
Description: Erratic, flighty, prone to obscure references, but likes a good laugh and a pratfall as much as anyone. Prone to running off with strangers and then being all coy about it afterwards. Overly alliterative. Occasionally found in pubs saying things like 'This Scotch is really very good!' Cannot resist conversation on story structure, unable to maintain serious facade for any length of time.
If found: Please do not feed alcohol or chocolate. Please keep quiet in dark box with ready access to water. Owner will be by to pick up ASAP. Sizable reward offered.

Have you looked in the fridge? I find the oddest things in there sometimes!

The icon is Col. Mustard. I have no idea why that's appropriate, except for the 'mystery' aspect.

The Mystery of the Missing Muse...

See what I did there? Alliteration is fun! It's like a Nancy Drew title.

They're DELICIOUS!!! But I don't like brussels sprouts. Bleargh.

Well, at least they're using their time fruitfully. As long as mine stays out of the sun.

Fathers is no problem! I have the end of Fathers all sorted, it's just that I should be writing for a certain fest before then. Maybe what I need to do is to actually finish Fathers and then the fest story will come ... actually, you may be onto something! Maybe my talent is just protesting my procrastination!

LOL, mine would be more than happy to slather yours with sunscreen. And leer suggestively. :D

They're not strangers, I've known each and every one of them for at least two hours AND insisted on references! :-P

(Though were I to find it shagging a philosophy lecturer while wearing a beret and nothing else, I would not be surprised. Saddened by the tragic cliche, but not surprised ...)

That's not bad at all! And how goes the new job? It has to be better than your old one. My fingers are crossed for you!

It was in the library! With the candlestick! Shouting: 'No more political comedies, bitch!' (To which I reply, 'Just this one, then some angst, I promise you!')

You know, I only ever read one Nancy Drew. Maybe this is a sign ... XXX

I haven't started yet...I went for a meeting this morning to find out more about it, and I'm still deliberating. The boss said he's not afraid to yell, which puts me off a bit. I may hate my current job, but at least my current boss doesn't yell - I clam up when I'm yelled at. Oh well. Starting uni in four months or so anyway so no matter what I decide I'll have less work hours! Yay!

but if i came across brammers' talent, i'd be so tempted to just keep it for myself and pet it and feed it yummy things :(

okay fiiiiiiiiiiiine. you can have it back.

I think it's with my car keys. I'll hunt for your talent if you hunt of my car keys!

I think I saw it hanging about with my desire to do homework. If I see it, I will ask it nicely to go back to kangaroo land.
Good luck.

When I lost my talent I eventually found it under the couch.

At least I think it was my talent. It might have just been a mouldy dust bunny...

I didn't like burssel sprouts till I had them at a feast in the Mists. They were so yummy I had fourths, and many folk on site were heard to say "burssels sprouts, who knew?". Years later I e-mailed the cook to ask him what he did to make them so yummy, and he replied complaining about how he'd done prime rib of beef that event, and many other amazing dishes, but everyone asks about his burssels sprouts. He then explained that all he did was peel the leaves off and cook them in garlic butter till slightly wilted. He said "I figured that if it works for escargot..."

To be fair, it's hard to see how you could go anywhere but downhill after a line like that.

Brussels sprouts are acceptable when cooked that way, but I still don't like them. Mr Brammers does, though. To me, they represent all the worst habits of a brassica ;-)

Are you allowed to yell back at him? If yes, it could be good! If not, it might be horrid. Yay for less work!

[identity profile] blamebrampton.livejournal.com 2009-09-28 08:51 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, you'd be saying that first part until about 3am on the first night when it was saying 'I want a chocolate milkshake! Let's dance to Joy Division! Waaaaaay heeeeeeey!' at which part you would quickly start saying I could have it back ;-)

They're in the pocket of your other jeans/jacket, or behind the sofa, or in the kitchen, or next to the phone that was ringing when you got in last night. If all that fails, in the lining of your bag, where they slipped in through a little hole. Good luck!

I hope the two of them are enjoying some good hot chocolates and discussing whatever topic your homework is. Unless it's biology. I am very iffy on biology. Fabulous for ebola, rubbish for knowing where a spleen is.

Looking under my sofa is scary, and would involve using large piles of books ... maybe I could send in one of the cats!

Glad to hear yours is back, I hope it's feeling fabbo after its away!

Nooooooo! I refuse to let Mandy be responsible for the high point of my career! I am not Gordon Brown! I am far tinier!

The small girl likes carrying them around in the supermarket, peeling the leaves off and leaving a Hansel and Gretel trail of them. She refuses to eat them, but is very fond of broccoli, cauliflower and raw carrot.

Well, those are three of the vegetables of the heavens, as opposed to Brussels 'Satan's own' sprouts ...

BTW, what's her foot size?
