Have you ever wondered what lady butt tastes like?

[smock]

Then come to TIP Book Club on November 15th!

We'll be discussing Voltaire's awesome "Candide," in which many ladies lost a rump.

Also: We're open to moving the time if some West Coast TIPers want to attend. Anyone have a strong opinion on times that would work for them?

[housegeek]

haha :Y: I'm open!

[Muddled]

::dances to Rumpshaker::

[imoan]

So, in addition to the ever-present butt stabbings, I'll be administering some butt-eatings to those who don't attend.

Je vais lire ce livre pour vous. I think...

[Muddled]

Avec nous, Fein. Tres bien!

[bowies]

Ooooo I read this one in high school. Phoning it in, party of one!

[fussbucket]

I read this in high school too. Boy that was a long time ago.

I think for West Coast purposes the earliest I could do would be 6pm PT/9pm ET. You know, just like they do for the debates and the SOTU. Give us slow left-coasters time to get home from work!

[fussbucket]

Also I think today's Google Doodle is suggesting we read the venerable Moby-Dick!



I mean, I love the taste of lady butt but nothing beats a whale of a Dick!

Sperm whale.

[smock]

Lol fuss. I think imoan really would stab us all in the butt if we made her read moby dick again.

[gault]

Fuss, I believe it's the great WHITE sperm whale.
So says futurama.

[imoan]

I'm breaking up with TIP if you guys make me read Moby Dick again.

[dixienormous]

can I just listen to the operetta and join in the discussion?

[gbck]

I love Candide. Sorry Dixie, the operetta has to many differences, IMO.

I'll go tend my garden now. But I don't have time to re-read this one before discussions.

[lemondrop]

LOL.

The time works for me, but I'm open to change if that's what everyone else needs.

Why don't you pick up the book? It's not very long and you have 3 weeks to read it.

[dixienormous]

Because I don't have time to pee much less read these days. I'm going to try it but I can't guarantee completion.

My right eye twitches whenever you post about books.

Care to clarify?

[Muddled]

Don't ask imoan how many books I have neglected to finish... :/

Yup.

You are the consummate one upper.

We get it. You're well read and don't have time for us plebes. Would it kill you just once to be slightly less toplofty?

So it looks like I have an online class scheduled on the 15th for the new course I'm starting tomorrow. This means that I'll either have to be online with the class from 6-9 or I'll just have work I have to do online at some point before the next class meeting. I will report back with details.

Also, my library is taking its sweet ass time getting Candide in for me.

[gbck]

It's not intended to sound 'lofty'. And my current reading choices are pretty pedestrian (to put it mildly)

That post was to Dixie because I 'know' her and didn't think she'd take it badly. And because I think they're to different--I'm woefully under-exposed to theater, but I actually saw this one recently so I thought I'd put out the opinion, so shoot me.

[Deleted]

Dude, you have a long and storied history of this bullshit.

Just your response in the Beowulf thread was enough to make me want to gauge out someone's eye.

[imoan]

You do tend toward the "lofty" when talking about anything academic-related, gbck. So I don't think it's an isolated incident because you know dixie.

Just... stop trying to prove to us that you're smart. We get it.

[gbck]

noted.
But I also think this was an assy way to call me out on it.
