the explanation thread

Post by lucimay »

many of you might have imagined that i would, eventually, have to make this thread since i'm prone to over-explaining! :lol:

however...i was showering this morning and thinking about not much in particular when it dawned on me that i might need to explain something that i say frequently to my friends when i sign pms.

its sorta goofey but i realized that some of my non-american friends, and perhaps a few of my american ones might not understand what i mean when i say "hugs and sh*t".

i realized that altho one might comprehend the hug part, one also might NOT comprehend the sh*t part. :lol: it might look like i'm wishing you sh*t! WHICH I AM NOT!! :lol:

in the context in which i use it...it means "hugs and sh*t like that" or "hugs and other affectionate stuff."

it doesn't mean i'm sending you sh*t.


if anyone else has anything they'd like to explain about themselves that we may or may not understand...well...post it here i reckon!

i hate being misunderstood and am hypervigilant in that regard. how bout you? :biggrin:

where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

I think less of you now to find out that you weren't wishing me sh#t.
I thought that was kinda cool.
"Hey, Lucimay wants to give me a hug and some sh#t!"
Now it's just: "Hey, Lucimay wants to give me hugs and stuff-like-hugs."
It's ok, I guess, still kind of a letdown....

Hmph. I always get the "later tater" sign off. I guess I am not good enough for "hugs and sh*t" :cry: ;)

Lucimay overexplaining stuff? I don't believe it. :)

There are many things I would love to explain here, if I had the time. Unfortunately, I use up all my time explaining stuff to other people elsewhere.

Hmm. I think I get the "later" signoff too....

I've been trying to think of something that I feel the need to explain here. But most of the things I can think of defy explanation...

This thread is a rat-nest of incoherency. It needs explaining.

I disagree. Juan Valdez is at the heart of the issue. And since we're at it, this thread is the anti-Inner Garden. It causes a sad malevolence to shoot forth from my monitor, wiggling and writhing. And now it's attaching to my face, sucking my soul like a rabid cock spaniel.

Also, "Luci" has four letters, "God" three. Thomas Covenant--both words from the Bible. This message, so far, has 666 letters, and the box I'm typing in is often referred to as a "pit." If you look to your right, you'll see two faces-- :evil: :twisted: . Fist's avatar is obviously a *pagan* man jumping at two horses, striking them viciously, and at the top of the site is the garden of Eden, with two lone figures defying God.

See Luci...you should never explain yourself. Ends up causing you more grief than it's worth. ;) Stay cryptic I say! :biggrin:


I've got lots of things to explain, but it's too hard to explain. You'll all work it out when I get to the US
Spoiler
the reality that I'm a 60 year old man might come as a surprise to some! ...especially Luci! ;) :biggrin:
