evlbstrd deserves an appreciation thread, so I'm starting one

[graywarrior]

He's an evlbstrd if there ever was one.

:evilgrin:

[lizziegrace]

1. Count me in!

I don't think he's really that evil. Most of it's a cover. ;)

[evlbstrd]

15. Can't let people get too close.

I know too much.

[lizziegrace]

70. Heh

some can see through you

;)

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

2. Hurray!

Even Liberal Standard is great!

[evlbstrd]

16. Thank you.

I've read that newspaper. It's fine work.

[TOhioLiberal]

3. Nice guy.

a misnamed person if ever I saw one!

[evlbstrd]

17. Nope.

It's my real name. I'll show you my birth certificate.

[graywarrior]

4. Kick for the evlbstrd

[evlbstrd]

18. I deserve to be kicked.

[cwydro]

5. Hey, I don't know him - still too new

but I like the name!

[evlbstrd]

19. Nice to meet you.

How new are you? Are you still damp?

[evlbstrd]

6. Awww, man ...

Way to create a leaden post. This sucker is gonna sink!

[graywarrior]

8. No it won't

[evlbstrd]

9. I've never had to respond to a post about me.

It's almost embarrassing.
Having said that-
I couldn't have gotten where I am today without the help of many, many people. I'd like to thank some of them now. Forgive me if I leave anyone out.
Thanks, evlmm, evldd, evlspwn, evlsn, evlbrthrs and evlsstrs, my evldgs and evlct (who need to see the evlvt!). All of my evlfrnds...

[graywarrior]

10. You are so evl, dude.

[evlbstrd]

12. I think it might run in the family.

Does etiquette require that I respond to each of the posts?

[graywarrior]

13. No. In fact, etiquette requires you to be off to bed.

That's where I'm headed, for the 2nd time tonight.

[evlbstrd]

14. Well, I'll try.

But I might sneak out after you fall asleep.

[u4ic]

7. evlbstrd...

:yourock:

[evlbstrd]

20. I am now euphoric.

[u4ic]

23. I got a rock!

[evlbstrd]

24. You've been good.

[u4ic]

25. .

x(

[evlbstrd]

28. You've been bad?

[u4ic]

31. :D

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[evlbstrd]

34. Whew.

That was a close one!

[Mabus]

11. Yes he does!

He's one of a kind. He's my buddy. I love him so much that I dedicated my sig line to him over a year ago. I'm always going back and forth with him online. He's a wily little bastard but he's our wily little bastard.

:loveya: evl!

With that, I recommended this thread because everyone needs to know what a wonderful guy he really is.

on edit: my husband would say the same thing if he were awake. He's always calling evl and disrupting his football watching.

[evlbstrd]

21. The Admiral is in his quarters?

Now's our chance! Mwa ha ha ha ha!

[Mabus]

22. He's on my side of the bed

otherwise "Operation Warm Water" would have been implemented already.

[evlbstrd]

27. Mutinous bastard!

Perhaps you should go with "Operation Nair."

[Mabus]

36. I would but the dogs are sleeping next to him

and since it got cold today I don't think they want to go hairless along with him.

Besides, he's a bolter. I have to be really, really careful when he's asleep. There's no telling what he'll do. He's been known to flail his arms and sometimes he kicks. I have to keep my distance. Sometimes he sits up and has whole conversations with me but he's still asleep. I can tell when he's still asleep because he says the most bizarre things. One time he told me "Zaltor would figure it out." I still don't know what the fuck he was talking about.

[evlbstrd]

38. That's not fair.

I talk in my sleep. My ex used to taunt me with those conversations.
Funny, though. I know Zaltor, too.

[Mabus]

40. Who is he? she?

Or what is it? One of my ex-boyfriends talked in his sleep too. He'd at least say more profound things like "you should light the fire from the flame that's already burning." I wasn't sure what he meant but I took it to mean that I should follow my passions, so I did and and left him. He was holding me back.

[evlbstrd]

42. I can't tell you.

But that was some wise sleep talk. See why I'm single?

[Mabus]

43. Damn!

I thought I could trick you into releasing that information. I'll just have to wait until the right moment and try to talk to the Admiral when he's in his sleepy-talky mode.

[evlbstrd]

44. You can try it.

But it's all metaphorical gibberish, like the bible. Very clever, really.

[Mabus]

45. Do I need to record it and play it backwards?

Is there a translation text available? Is it related to Lovecraft? Throw me a bone here.

[evlbstrd]

46. I can't ever remember my dreams.

They may be too horrible. That's why I can't tell you.
I think you have to get the right combination of sleep talkers to sleep in the same place and the same time and try to get a conversation going.

[Mabus]

49. That's okay

I've talked to your dreams and they don't remember you either.

I do know the Admiral has some weird ones now and again. One time he was wrestling an alligator. I'm not sure who was winning at the time. All I know is the Admiral rocked from side to side, made a loud "arggggggghhhh!" noise and then flung himself off the bed. I'm still not sure who was more freaked out: me, the Admiral or one of the three dogs.

:spray: :rofl: I do love my life. :rofl:

[evlbstrd]

57. That's rich.

But I wouldn't be at all surprised.

I've done something like the Admiral. But there was a big radiator there instead of dogs. That left a mark.

[Mabus]

62. He hit the table next to the bed

but more of him hit the floor. What amazed me was his agility. He sprang up and was in a defensive mode with a "what just happened" look on his face. I was watching tv and, after I recovered from shock, I burst out laughing. He was like all pissy for a minute and said "it's okay, I'm not hurt." I just looked at him and started laughing all over again. He started laughing too. I finally was able to ask him "what happened?" That's when he told me about wrestling an alligator.

Oh man, that was funny. My sides are hurting from laughing. He took at least one dog over the edge with him. It was hysterical. I think it was that grunting/argh sound that pushed it over the edge for me. I mean, he was really giving it his all with that last heave and I'm trying to watch a movie. It came out of no where. All of a sudden he's rocking back and forth making sounds. I was sitting there, minding my own business, and all of a sudden I start wondering "hmmm, I wonder who he's dreaming of" and then whammo he goes flying off the bed like a scene from "The Exorcist" and I see a little grey ball of fur going with him. I've got to stop thinking about it. I'm laughing so hard there are tears in my eyes right now.

You should ask him about it.

[evlbstrd]

66. I'm definitely saving this story.

I'll bust it out at a large meeting. Whispering and giggling in the back of the room again, and it'll be his fault.

[Mabus]

67. It was hysterical

and, even better, it is just one of many stories that begin with "So, there I was, watching tv and minding my own business, when suddenly, like a bolt out of the blue, the sleeping Admiral suddenly sprang to life. . ."

Oh well, it is getting late. I better go see if the Admiral is doing one of his shows tonight. Maybe, just maybe, I'll find out who this Zoltar is tonight.

[proud2BlibKansan]

50. daed si luap

:evilgrin:

[Mabus]

54. Not quite

but Heather's going to try to bleed him him dry.

[SPKrazy]

26. evlbstrd is one!

and a heck of a great person!

:evilgrin:

[evlbstrd]

29. You're too kind.

Did you know I've never been selected to sit on a jury? I get called almost every year. Go figure.

[SPKrazy]

30. Would You Believe That I Have Been Selected

:rofl:

poor bastids

[evlbstrd]

32. Oof.

Did you convict?

[SPKrazy]

33. Yes

but the guy was pretty well convicted. Armed robbery. Pharmacist tied up and robbed at gunpoint. Guy was identified by pharmacist. Had the drugs on him.

short case.

The other one was a civil trial, mental illness commitment. We let her go, crazy as hell as she was, there was no reason to lock her up.

Only two that I was selected for.

[evlbstrd]

35. Only once did I get close.

It was a drug posession case. One of the attornies asked if any of us thought drugs should be decriminalized. I raised my hand. Dismissed.
Outside the courtroom, an elderly lady said to me, "You're right, young man. Prohibition doesn't work."
She was so sweet about it, I didn't smack her for not raising her hand, too.

[SPKrazy]

37. Interestingly enough

I was a psychology major on the mental health case and they kept me.

I don't remember any questions on the other one.

[evlbstrd]

41. The defense must have liked you.

I get a day off, a trip downtown, some reading and a lunch.

[proud2BlibKansan]

51. And we all know it's a rare day when you refrain

from smacking an old lady.

[evlbstrd]

65. Au contraire.

I've been quite judicious.
The legal fees have become prohibitive.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

39. I love me some evlbstrd!

I've been friends with him since I was a newbie!

We've had some great conversations......

I just love him to death!

:loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[evlbstrd]

48. My dear California Peggy!

evl loves me some of you, too!
You gave me my first star.
And you've come to be a very good photographer since then. Keep on snappin'!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

52. What a sweetheart you are!

Username notwithstanding!

I was going to put up a pic thread tonight.....

Until we lost our power......

But due to my smart husband's forsight......

We do have power.......

So I have a smart husband appreciation thread going instead......

One of these days, I'll post those pics!

Thank you for your very kind words........I'd forgotten about your star!

Until now, anyway........:hug: :loveya:

[evlbstrd]

55. Keep safe.

I saw your smart husband appreciation thread and meant to reply. But then graywarrior distracted me.
I hope to get a new camera soon. We'll trade pictures soon.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

59. I look forward to doing just that.......

:hug:

[proud2BlibKansan]

47. Oh Lord yes he is VERY evl and here is PROOF

And if that isn't bad enough, here are the people he hangs out with:

[evlbstrd]

53. Who are you?

Who are those people?

Where am I?

Wha ...

[proud2BlibKansan]

56. Just a faceless name on the internet

:hi:

[evlbstrd]

58. Howdy, kind stranger!

On the internet, nobody knows you're a god.

[proud2BlibKansan]

60. Actually I would be a

godDESS.

[evlbstrd]

61. I sit corrected.

You are a goddess. I would never have met you without DU. Can we claim to be a religion for tax purposes?
I'm still afraid of teachers.

[proud2BlibKansan]

63. As long as you don't curse at me

we're cool. I won't even bug you about your homework.

[evlbstrd]

64. Then I'll be scholarship material.

I've always dreamed of going to Harvard.

[Mabus]

68. Those are two handsome guys

and that girl is HOT!

Oh wait, that's me. :rofl:

[proud2BlibKansan]

69. Don't fundie preachers lust after themselves?

But I know for a fact they can all find Jesus.

[Mabus]

72. I decided to stop looking

He's got to find his way to me. He's the one that rolled away. I've stayed centered.

[graywarrior]

71. evlbstrd has an interesting fan club
