This spin/jab ( OMG not that again) may loosen up ole' Fnord and we'll never have to read that again. :lol:

Ask Millie to fix you a sandwich before she leaves for the day.


Thank you! I especially like rock-cakes made with stone-ground flour. :)

It's very cold here, so I'm wearing a rockwool jacket. :wink:

I'm getting a rising urge to start personifying the buzzkill meme.
I'm more curious however as to what it is that is pretending to be a rock (that is also pretending to be a fluffy rock).
Also how long this simple satire is going to continue for.


Hey, are you slating the Rock? And his fluffy coat? He'll be hurt, I bet his Gran-knit that for him.

Yes she spent ages knitting it from a mountain of rockwool. Rocks have feelings too, I don't have a heart of stone, er... well, yes I do but, I still have feelings.

I slept like a (petrified) log, thank you.

I don't tend to be especially enthused by puns.
There is no difficulty in them in the text format. It just leads me to believe I'm dealing with people of low humour.

Hello everyone. Thank you all for you concern about me. I confirm that I am indeed an Aspie.

Fnord is taking good care of me but I am a little hungry. He hasn't fed me yet. He also keeps me in a cold dark desk draw most of the time. I've managed to sneak out and use his computer to post this. Fnord - if you read this please don't put me back in the draw, I much prefer to sit on your windowsill in the sunshine.

By for now; I'm off to watch the Flintstones on TV. :D



Is it allowed to create a new account for an imaginary person or for an object or pet, etc?

UPDATE: Rocky is now 6 years older. He enjoys sitting out in the garden, rain or shine (mostly shine; this is California, after all). He seems happiest when he can watch others having fun or when he is sitting on a stack of papers watching me work. I almost lost him at the beach, but found him in a tidal pool in the arms of a starfish. I left them alone for a while, and when I came back, he was all by himself, but his grin was even bigger.

I'm thinking he needs a girlfriend. Does anyone have a phone number for the Rockettes?

Is Rocky and Aspie? We can't tell. Only a licensed trained professional is qualified to diagnose Rocky.

Sorry, I do not know the phone numbers of any Rockettes or any A-list Hollywood starlets either.

@FnordsRock:
Hello there, you look like you're having a marvellous time; how nice to meet you!

@Fnord
I hadn't been introduced to FnordsRock yet, what a charming chap; you obviously care for him very well. They're such a handful at that age aren't they? - never sit still for a moment! :D

You've given him "the talk" already, I suppose? Underage pebbleancy can ruin a young rock's life, so one can't be too careful. Such a handsome fellow is hardly going to hang about gathering moss now, is he? :wink:

I dunno.... Those Rockettes have a rather igneous *cough, ignominious* reputation and he seems like a rock solid guy.

This is all due to a selection bias. Next time, choose a pet with fur.
