The Mind of a Spammer

TalkingDog: I got spam from an @ogdenrents.com address?
LaZorra: TD: Teu wamt upi tp ,pve tp Itaj?
LaZorra: er
LaZorra: *They want you to move to Utah?
Sentynel: Oh, I thought it meant his parents had moved to Utah.
TalkingDog: Elena says she likes my profile and wants me to reply at this other address with a .ru domain.
TalkingDog: "I hope, our dreams will come true also we probably we shall embody them in the validity."
LaZorra: There's nothing quite as disappointing as a dream embodied in invalidity.
Sentynel: It's an interesting insight into the mind of the spammer, though.
Sentynel: I can quite clearly hear the thought, translated from Russian of course, "fork it, Google Translate."

Everything Comes Down to Poo

ThePhan: One of these days I'm going to have a bunch of my friends share their "how we got together/fell in love/got married" stories on my blog. I'm fascinated by them. And now that, um, ALL MY FRIENDS ARE MARRIED OR GETTING MARRIED, I should have plenty of options. :-)
LaZorra: I would love to read that oo!
LaZorra: Er, substitute the consonant of your choice in that last word.
LaZorra: Except P.
ThePhan: You would love to read that poo?
ThePhan: LOL
ThePhan: *high five*
ThePhan: So Jacob's working third shift now, so I only get to talk to him on two of his breaks, and one of those is at 2 a.m.
ThePhan: I have realized that when we're both super tired, we talk about poop A LOT.
LaZorra: LOL LOL
LaZorra: EVERYTHING COMES DOWN TO POO
ThePhan: IT DOES AT 2 OR 3 IN THE MORNING
ThePhan: Overall, the job shift is probably better for him.
ThePhan: But I'll miss talking to him on his way home every night.
ThePhan: Because I am not waking up at 6 in the morning to talk about poop with him.
LaZorra: This is not a good sign for potential parenthood.
ThePhan: LOL LOL

More Exclamation Marks

ThePhan: For any of you who don't keep up with my blog but might be interested in this, I just posted the second of probably a three-part series looking at the marvelous reviews of Jessie.
ThePhan: http://unpublishedforareason.blogspot.com/2013/02/movie-reviews-by-jessie-part-2.html
Sam: TP: Hey, with that American In Paris review, is that the right number of exclamation marks at the end? Because my version of that review, as scraped by my data-mining script, just has two. This may mean she went back in and edited the review later JUST to add lots more exclamation marks.
Randy: hehe
ThePhan: LOL
ThePhan: That's definitely the right amount.
ThePhan: I really hope that's what happened.
ThePhan: She was rereading her reviews and thought, "I really REALLY mean this one."
Maryam: LOL

Star-Studded

ThePhan: Watching last night's American Idol. It's Hollywood Week, so we're not even to the voting rounds yet, and they've just informed us that after the break we'll see "some of the most star-studded performances yet."
ThePhan: I don't think they know what star-studded means.
ThePhan: None of these people are stars yet. They're all still auditioning.
ThePhan: Unless they're bringing other musical stars out to sing with them. That would be awesome and unexpected.
ThePhan: But I think they just don't know how English works.
ThePhan: Even if they *were* stars, they're only singing one at a time.
ThePhan: HOW CAN A PERFORMANCE BE STAR-STUDDED WITH ONLY ONE NOT-STAR SINGING THEM?
Ticia: No, their costumes will have stars with studs on them.
ThePhan: Ticia: That better be the answer.
Ticia: Oooh. maybe they're having studs... hot guy, that is, dressed *only* in stars.
Ticia: Mmm hmmm

The Monster at the End of the Book

Randy: They made another Monster at the End of the Book...with Elmo.
Maryam: I know, and it makes me sad.
Dave: WHAT
Dave: THAT IS BAD
Dave: THE MONSTER AT THE END OF THE BOOK IS LOVABLE FURRY OLD GROVER
ThePhan: I hope Elmo gets to the end of the book and Grover is there.
ThePhan: That would be awesome.
Ticia: I hope Elmo gets to the end and gets chopped up and dismembered by Grover.
Randy: WHO IS THE MONSTER NOW ELMO
Ticia: Mwa ha ha

Elizabeth's Movie Titles

Ticia: I refuse to believe that life at ThePhan's is anything but wacky siblings saying crazy stuff, and hijinks. And shenanigans.
TalkingDog: I would watch that as a reality show. "ThePhamily".
TalkingDog: (You see what I did there? I am the cleverest hamster.)
Goosey: LOL!
Goosey: I'd totally watch that too :)
.
.
.
ThePhan: And I see you people were discussing life at my house.
ThePhan: You're pretty much right.
ThePhan: Except it's also a lot of sitting around making lists of favorite movies and stuff.
Goosey: hehehe
Goosey: I'd still watch it.
Goosey: Because in the middle of a movie list Elizabeth will forget the words of a title and come up with something hilariously absurd
ThePhan: LOL
ThePhan: Yes.
ThePhan: The other day I was talking to her about that and she was like, "I can remember movie titles!" and I said, "Oh, yeah? Then think of a movie and tell me what it's called."
ThePhan: So she goes, "Um... that French one."
ThePhan: "What French one?"
ThePhan: "It has a guy and a girl, and there's a mean guy."
ThePhan: "Um. Is it an old one?"
ThePhan: "Yes."
ThePhan: "Is it in black and white?"
ThePhan: "No."
ThePhan: "Have I seen it?"
ThePhan: "I don't know."
ThePhan: "Have you seen it?"
ThePhan: "No."
ThePhan: "Wait, then... how do you know what it is?"
TalkingDog: bwa?
ThePhan: "I saw something about it somewhere."
ThePhan: "Are you sure it's French?"
ThePhan: "Maybe."
ThePhan: "What's it about?"
ThePhan: "I don't know."
ThePhan: "So is there even a guy and a girl and a mean guy?"
ThePhan: "Well, I mean, there's ALWAYS a mean guy."
ThePhan: We still have no idea what she was talking about. She may have made the whole thing up.
Ticia: HAHA
Goosey: LOL LOL

Hare Hair

ThePhan: I am not sure what I did to my hair today when I showered, but Im pretty sure IT HAS NEVER BEEN THIS SOFT.
ThePhan: *I'm
TalkingDog: Did your hair turn into a bunny? Bunnies are soft.
ThePhan: It's not moving. I hope it's not a dead bunny. :-(
TalkingDog: noooooo.
TalkingDog: It might be a sleepy bunny.
Sentynel: You've got something weird in your shampoo if it turns your hair into a rodent.
TalkingDog: Best shampoo EVAR.
Goosey: LOL
Goosey: PHAN HAS HARE HAIR
Nyperold: It's a homophone shampoo.

Popping Balloons With Lasers

ThePhan: OOH, did I tell you about our supremely geeky laser idea?
LaZorra: No!
ThePhan: I saw on QI that laser pointers can pop black balloons, so we're going to fill some dark balloons with confetti, line the reception hall door with them, and then when Jacob and I walk in, we're going to have a group of our friends pop the balloons with lasers.
ThePhan: IT IS GOING TO BE SO AWESOME
LaZorra: WHATTTT
LaZorra: That is the best idea ever.
ThePhan: As long as we can get it to happen. We'll have to practice it to make sure it works. Heh.
LaZorra: OH DARN YOU WILL HAVE TO PRACTICE POPPING BALLOONS WITH LASERS OH NO

ThePhan: Hehe
Randy: You are incredible. hehe
LaZorra: I'm beginning to think that when I eventually marry Drew, my invitations will have to have misspellings on them or they won't be consc niseered valid.
ThePhan: They won't be what now?
LaZorra: ooheer
LaZorra: *considrneed
LaZorra: consnerredoeed

LaZorra: con

LaZorra: ered

I Don't Have Any Knowledge of Chips

Goosey: Does this look like a good scanner? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product....6&gclid=CMnFx-ug-7QCFexAMgodeHgApQ
Goosey: or this one? http://www.walmart.com/ip/Canon-CanoScan-LiDE110-Color-Image-Scanner/15174835
TalkingDog: That is the same one?
Goosey: LOL yes it is
Goosey: SEE I NEED HALP lol
Goosey: Okay, does it look like a good scanner?
TalkingDog: I'm not sure I know. I would say no, but I could easily be wrong.
ThePhan: I don't have any knowledge of chips.
ThePhan: Er... I mean scanners.
ThePhan: LOL
Goosey: LOL
TalkingDog: mmmm, chips
ThePhan: My siblings were talking about chips as I typed that sentence.
Goosey: I KNOW NOTHING OF DORITOS
Goosey: WHAT ARE THESE PRINGLES YOU SPEAK OF?

Liters

ThePhan: I drove my siblings crazy yesterday by illogically measuring everything in liters.
Goosey: lol
ThePhan: Including the distance from the car to the curb and how good the movie The Matrix was.
ThePhan: They kept being like, "YOU CAN'T DO THAT, LITERS DON'T MEASURE THAT!"
Randy: LOL
Randy: How good was the Matrix in liters?
Ticia: haha
iwpg: Only The Matrix is measured in litres, though.
iwpg: No other movies.
ThePhan: I think I said The Matrix was 6 liters.
Randy: hmm...I'd agree with that.
