2000 points: laptop canopy for the beach.

Well, if Charma keeps engaging me in CAT FIGHTS, I might just get that 50,000 KP "Day at the spa. Gibson does your nails." Pauline

2nd BTW of this current posting cycle: I changed my location from a Bridgit the Midgit quote to a mangled mammal sentence. But it was all in the name of

Well we prosimians tend to be very sensitive, just behind the ears and up a little...

simply being in a cat fight doesn't get you points. but putting up with your stupid retorts does. you haven't once made me laugh out loud y'know.

"Gibson does your nails."

Does what to your nails? He looks like the type that chews his, I wouldn't mind a long conversation, a couple of coffees, and a shared pack of Dunhills with him, but I'm not sure I want him to chew on my nails.

Man, imagine William Gibson, Kurt Vonnegut, and Stephen King, over coffee...what a dream come true.

"Kurt! Quit bumming cigarettes, you're not even supposed to be smoking, are you? I thought you quit."

"Give the guy a break, willya Bill?"

"Steve, you know they're not good for him, he does too. Lookit him coughing."

"I'm not coughing from the cigarettes, it's Bill's aftershave. That metallic aftertaste in the back of my throat..."

"Hey, hey, 'member that time, when Kilgore Trout tried to write that horror-science fiction story, and it had, like, robot monsters in it, and like..."

Bill, Kurt, and Steve all look at me, "SHUT UP!"

All three talk at once, "I'm gonna fire my agent for setting this up..." "Bill, was this your publisher's idea?" "Man, I just want to go back to Maine..."

thank you for that, doggo.

"Miss Utah, if you had 50,000 karma points, what would you do with them."

"I'd donate them to the local animal shelter so the little kitties could play with Mr Gibson for a while afternoon before some nasty primate stews them."

Bwahaha - insufficient career structure error. One is a Junior Member at 0 points and a Member at 5 points. I have 1446 points, and am *still* only a Member... I wanna be a God-Emperor, dammit!

Personally, I'd just like to redeem my karma points for to get just a small portion of my immortal soul back.

er...i've been meaning to talk to you about that...

Yeah, my work of the last 10 years kind of put paid to the old immortal soul thing.

On the plus side, I feel much lighter without it

All gals know that the phrase "does your nails" refers to primate bonding.

Not unlike men saying, "I gave her a micky." Means, I want to fuck her. Unless he just wants to shut her the F up...

F the FCC.

I'm not sure I'd want to groom Gibson. He's pretty tall.

That having been said, he looked pretty clean when I met him.

I too noticed no unctuous odors emanating from his person.

Maybe he can just brush your hair or something. While telling you stories.

Brilliant! It's just so damned cheesy and... and... Canadian!

(Sedated female announcer's voice) "..and finally, to close today's community announcements, noted writer William Gibson will be bagging groceries and signing copies of his book at the Sobey's on Topsail road. Have your UBB.x Karma point coupons handy..."

But it's Gibson! He's into the seriously unique objects. Wouldn't it be more like:

5000 points - 1 bottle Pocari Sweat
50000 points - 1 Itoya K500 writing pen
100000 points - 1 Vulcain Direct Read Watch
500000 points - Gibson as your personal shopping assistant for a day in Vancouver's antiques district (is there such a thing?)

Or something? Of course, on reflection, there's going to be a limited supply of prizes, as it were...

Maybe if they could be used as aeroplan points.....
