Chewing Wax:
Where is it exactly? Brooklyn?

Mrs Dr GB:
Good evening!
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 3:58:23 pm)
Queenie:
The answer is Mickey Newbury.
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 3:59:59 pm)
Queenie:
You know, I think I've had the wrong idea all along about what the word "prose" means.
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:00:21 pm)
Mrs Dr GB:
I'll be the judge of that.
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:00:21 pm)
Queenie:
Now that's ironical!
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:00:28 pm)
Mrs Dr GB:
What do you think it means?
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:00:33 pm)
Mrs Dr GB:
Ironical isn't a word.
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:00:52 pm)
Chewing Wax:
Hello ginger bird.
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:00:56 pm)
Mrs Dr GB:
Evening, wax-man.
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:01:26 pm)
Chewing Wax:
It is in Canada.
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:01:38 pm)
Queenie:
*sigh*
Nobody gets me.
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:01:39 pm)
Queenie:
Ironical IS a word, but the fact that I was intentionally using it wrong was supposed to be ironic.
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:02:11 pm)
Mrs Dr GB:
Do you mean wrongly?
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:02:27 pm)
Chewing Wax:
Yes. What do you think it means?
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:02:50 pm)
Queenie:
Prose, on the other hand, means something altogether different than what I thought:
Ordinary speech or writing, without metrical structure.
Commonplace expression or quality.
I always thought prose meant writing with a sense of poetry rather than with just ordinary and commonplace.
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:03:15 pm)
Chewing Wax:
Almost the exact opposite of what it is.
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:04:03 pm)
Mrs Dr GB:
You live, you learn
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:04:18 pm)
Chewing Wax:
That's for the sure of it. I didn't know what bemused meant until just the other day.
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:04:41 pm)
Mrs Dr GB:
I was happy to learn what fenestration means.
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:05:54 pm)
Chewing Wax:
I'll look it up. What's going on in England?
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:06:19 pm)
Mrs Dr GB:
Hm. Arguments with the neighbours. Me packing to go away. BA business class. Bring on the nibbles!

bela:
Its in Manhattan, so I have to walk over to the west side highway from 8th aveneue with this stupid tuba on my back. But first I have to walk to fucking Penn Station. Aargh.
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:08:06 pm)
bela:
Excellent. Business class. My friend Bu would be proud.
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:09:03 pm)
Mrs Dr GB:
Who's Bu?
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:09:33 pm)
Chewing Wax:
What are you going?
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:12:16 pm)
bela:
This insane friend of mine. Hes obsessed with silverware. Hes an alcoholic ex classical musician. He now works in student international travel, so he travels alot and steals silverware from every airline and hotel he stays in. He has so much antique furniture and silverware and china. Its crazy.
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:13:49 pm)
Chewing Wax:
What exactly makes a person an alchoholic? I've never been clear on that. My criterion is someone who is always drunk, every day, and drinks first thing in the morning. Anything less is just alcohol abuse.
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:16:46 pm)
Chewing Wax:
Everyone needs a hobby I guess.
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:17:54 pm)
Mrs Dr GB:
People who hide booze. Alcoholics. And anyone called Robert Downey Jr.
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:18:52 pm)
Mrs Dr GB:
In honour of Bu, I may steal something then.
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:19:08 pm)
bela:
Poor Bu. I think hes an alcoholic. He drinks as soon as he gets up in the morning. Whether its Bombay, Sherry, port, wine - he drinks it. He stayed with me once and there was a big glass of wine still on the table from night before and he started drinking it. I said, Bu, I'm making coffee and he said this is my coffee.
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:19:13 pm)
bela:
He loves a cocktail.
