Cooperative thinking

[nilchance]

Actual conversation that I had with T on Monday:

T: "It was one of those wrinkly dogs. You know."
Me: "A bulldog?"
T: "No. Fuzzy. Raspy fur. I know the name, but I can't say it."
(Both of us sit there for a minute, thinking the name but unable to get it out.)
T: Sss.
Me: Sss?
T: Shhh.
Me: ARRRR.
(Yes, like a pirate.)
T: Sharpei! Thanks. Anyway, so her sharpei...

It's amazing that Retriever-verse doesn't involve long paragraphs about "you know, that THING, with the laces and the boning, that thing!"

You two = <3

Also, this is like every conversation I've had with my mother when it comes to remembering actors. "Do you remember that guy...? He was in that movie...?" "Michael York?" "YES. Thank you."

You are LOFF. I read the first Tiffany Aching book and every time they mentioned robanybody, I thought of you. ;)

HEE. Yes. I do that with my dad, too. He has imdb.com as his homepage on his iPad for easy resolution of "you know, that one guy" discussions.

This had me actually laughing. It is even funnier if you read it out loud. :)

Speaking of corsets, I read this book called "The Corset: A Cultural History", by Valerie Steele, that you might like. I don't see the appeal of them myself, even to role play in. They look hella uncomfortable to me!

If I've already mentioned this to you, pardon me. I can't remember shit any more. \0/
