Yes, Sir!

[CaptLex]

I've been feeling kind of down today (all week, really), and completely unmotivated to do anything. I know it's a combination of things: recovering from surgery, winter blues, cabin fever, not passing, yada yada yada . . . So I decided to go out for a while before the walls closed in on me - you know, take a walk, get some fresh air (well, fresh for NY), sunshine, exercise, etc. And before going out I got "butched up": painted on some eyebrows, darkened my moustache with brow pencil, strapped on the binder and donned my baseball cap.

I walked to the main shopping street in my area (got a few of those "is that a boy or a girl?" looks on the way) and decided to get something to eat once I got there. Went to a fast food place and when I got to the counter the young woman said, "Can I help you, sir?" I thought I was dreaming. :eek: You know that never happens to me. I suppressed the urge to grin, but that changed my mood immediately. I was so happy, I didn't touch the ground the whole way home. :c9:

It's so funny how such a little word can make a world of difference. I just wanted to share that.

*goes off singing* Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy . . .

[Felix]

Maybe ya wanna don that make up again and the outfit get a few more Sirs and away ya go :thumbsup: xx Felix :hugs:

[Kate Simmons]

That's great Cap ( I think I got your point after reading all the banter here). It's a big difference also when it's an honest comment from someone and not just a patronizing one, isn't it? I've had both while out as Sal.

[Adam]

cool im pleased for you hope its the first of many sir to come :D

[John]

Neet, good for you :thumbup: . Passing's one of the best things that can happen when you're dressing, I thing. It's like you're being validated or something...

Glad it stopped you feeling bad too. :D

[pocoyo]

*Draws his sword then takes a good look at Tamara then glances at the guys fleeing deciding maybe they have the right idea after all*

*chuckles* :heehee: Tristan's cool. Funny fella.

[Kieron Andrew]

*chuckles* :heehee: Tristan's cool. Funny fella.
i knew you'd like him when i told him to join :heehee:

[pocoyo]

Yeah I really do, nice guy :D
Good call on the getting him to join dude :hugs:

[Tristan]

Yeah I really do, nice guy :D
Good call on the getting him to join dude :hugs:


There was a lot of torture involved, but it's ok I didn't mind. :beatup:

[Kieron Andrew]

There was a lot of torture involved, but it's ok I didn't mind. :beatup:
oh you so lie!! :rolleyes: :tongueout

[Tristan]

oh you so lie!! :rolleyes: :tongueout

:whistling:

[pocoyo]

Hehehe! *puts on sweet, sympathetic uncle voice* ....
Has that Kieron been getting mean again?
Awww pooor Tristan... mean Kieron! *Harry Hill voice*... bad Kieron, dirty Kieron... in your bed!
:heehee:

[CaptLex]

You're wise to run from Tamara, Tristan. Even the bulldog can't help us there (even though he bullies people to join).:heehee:

Thank you, Marissa, Abraxas, Adam and Joshua. :hugs:

Yay, I got a brownie from Bi (with trick candles and everything)!

You're right, Felix, the "butching up" helps, but it's a hassle to do that every day. It's worth it, though. :D

Good point, Salandra, it's probably the first time I knew somebody wasn't just humoring me - makes a big diff. :happy:

[Kieron Andrew]

(even though he bullies people to join).:heehee:

i bloody well did not.....i just advised him that i thought he would have fun here!

[Tristan]

i bloody well did not.....i just advised him that i thought he would have fun here!

and you were right it is. Thanks :)

[Dasein9]

LOL..... I have a samurai sword... and I'm not afraid to use it....... :bringiton: :bringiton:

:tongueout

Yeh. I've got a two-handed broadsword I made myself. Your samurai sword can't even come close enough to cut. :tongueout:

[CaptLex]

Yeh. I've got a two-handed broadsword I made myself. Your samurai sword can't even come close enough to cut. :tongueout:
Uh oh . . . baiting Tamara . . . :eek: *runs*

[Kieron Andrew]

Uh oh . . . baiting Tamara . . . :eek: *runs*
either hes not very clever or he's incredibly brave lol

[Dasein9]

No doubt it's the former.

I do have the broadsword, but I made it for a props class. There's no blade, and it's only good for bopping Little Rabbit Foo Foo on the head!

[Kate Simmons]

Well, hell anytime Tam wants to spar with katanas, I've got three of 'em. One for each(!?) hand.:heehee:

[Tamara Croft]

Yeh. I've got a two-handed broadsword I made myself. Your samurai sword can't even come close enough to cut. :tongueout::lol: yeah but my size 5'z will make your butt sore :tongueout

[Dasein9]

Size 5 what's? ;)

[uknowhoo]

Rock on, Capt! That's just too cool. I'm tickled pink 4 u! :D :hugs:

[CaptLex]

Rock on, Capt! That's just too cool. I'm tickled pink 4 u! :D :hugs:

Aww, thanks Tammi. It's amazing how one little "sir" has managed to erase tons and tons of "ma'ams". :D

Thanks, Michelle . . . :koc:

[ZenFrost]

Way to go! It's amazing the difference one little word can make, it can make a day so much better or so much worse. (And to think, some still say the sword is mightier than the pen, though I suppose it would be a pretty bad day if you got run through with a sword.)
