Have Fincher, eh? Is this early music-video Fincher, with sexy black-and-white Madonna and Paula Abdul? Or more recent Oscar-bait Fincher, with Jesse Eisenberg and Rooney Mara? Just as long as it’s not Alien3 Fincher, I’m OK with it.

On another note, Stephen, we need to have some kind of intervention about your semicolon problem.

Thanks for the link, Cheryl!

    Stephan can key ALT+253 to get “²” but cannot spell “cookware”?

      You’re giving Sparks entirely too much credit – I suspect a cut-and-paste from another source rather than actually generating that on his own. He’s a filching fincher.

    [aside]
    Uhm, “one bedroom” which is one, singular, room with “kitchen” but no stove?
    “Separate [Entries]” and also “no rules”?
    One gets “free” internet, and if, acting quickly, free [furniture]?

    Ok, despite the Freudian slips, and the way the spelling seems to go south as the copy gets written–even despite the intriguing notion of tiny lycanthropes as chefs–I’m going to pretend that this is not some new iteration of Jeffy Dahmer.

    Nope, I’m going to sit the corner, fingers in ears going “Nrnrnrnrnrnrnrnrrnr” while rocking slowly and will cleave to the notion that “Stephan” is 13 and renting out a stinky older sibling’s room.

    Yep, that’s it; that’s what I’m going to do.

    Kint maik me! Nrnrnrnrnrnr!

    Getting a separate Entryce is more important than most people think. My wife and I spent 5 years living in a place that had an adjoined Entryce and just about every day my wife would look at it and say “yuprobablti.”

    Those were dark, hard times.

    Now we have our own house with not just a separate Entryce, but also a fully varnished microwere!

    “good for single to living”

    I’ve not had many roommates during the course of my lifetime, but my steadfast rule has always been that they need to be living while occupying our shared premises. And so, logically, that is good.

    However, not sure how you get from single to living…are all you single folks out there not living? That is a scary thought. It seems the singles market has been cornered by the zomb

        Hmm…I think I’ll just screw around.

        600 dollars. One brer rabbit. Over 600 feet. (Must be a mutant). Bachelor’s room. A val (valium) required. Come September 1st.

        [location information]

        Brer rabbit needs only one room, plus a kitchen. Does not require a stove. Also have microwere and coockware. That’s small werewolf and werewolf-chicken hybrid.

        Please seperate any of the creatures you buy, they can be quite vicious when together. Seperate in the bathroom, if possible. They can share their laundry, however. They do not like rules. Have a fincher (extra finch, possibly) for 600 more dollars.

        All creatures enjoy untilities, including internet and cable.
