Random Fact Generator. This is what I got.

During a 1956 speech for his campaign of de-Stalinization, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev was asked by an unseen audience member why, as an advisor to the dictator, he had never stopped Stalin from committing his atrocities. Khrushchev immediately lashed out, “Who said that?” The room grew quiet. Khrushchev repeated his query to more silence, waited a beat, and then said, “Well, now you understand why.”

Cool, eh? I’m going to try again.

The Best Laid Plans

Below is a conversation among three intelligent people very near and dear to me. Well, two I guess. Calling yourself intelligent and saying that you are very near and dear to yourself is a bit conceited.

(Names are omitted to protect the innocent as they always will be on this blog)
A is quite glad and proud that she has finished a conversation in which she was ensnared for about a week…

lol hooray! let’s have a wild party in celebration : )
A at 11:56pm March 14
Let’s have it at Morningstar Cafe… not Something-Something Diner… hee hee.
M at 12:09am March 15
lol yes indeed. im so in love with the idea of breakfast available all day : )
A at 12:11am March 15
I think there’s lots of places that do that, lots of diners/cafes.
M at 12:20am March 15
yeah i guess but one day me and L were on a hunt (around hunter lol) for waffles and we just couldnt find them because breakfast time was over : (
A at 12:21am March 15
That sucks… but, hey, now you know about Morningstar!! Now we can always go there. Mmm… waffles…
M at 12:22am March 15
yay, those pancakes were so fluffy
A at 12:23am March 15
As opposed to “flat as a pancake.” LOL. Hey, how was Ikea???
M at 12:26am March 15
LOL ur so witty : )
o it was fun. sorta packed. and we failed at convincing d to quit being a workaholic
M at 12:26am March 15
we happened to b sitting in front of the kids play area during lunch so it was like a free show
A at 12:27am March 15
They have a kids play area? Man, this Ikea is like a whole city… LOL
M at 12:29am March 15
yeah! basically u can live there. and it’d be a blast
A at 12:30am March 15
Oh, man, tell S to forget the castle… She should look up how much it would cost to buy Ikea…
A at 12:30am March 15
Nah… I think the dude who owns it is one of the richest people in the world… LOL
M at 12:31am March 15
LOL. and you guys can’t put hippos in the east river. i thought you were really into that?
A at 12:32am March 15
Yeah… hmmm… I don’t think the hippos would survive out there, so far away from their natural habitat…
A at 12:32am March 15
We could have… I don’t know… savage pigeons. LOL. What kinds of wild animals live in NYC??
M at 12:36am March 15
LOL but i hate pigeons.
i dunno? taxis? they’re pretty wild
A at 12:37am March 15
Pigeons are totally gross. As are taxis. LOL.
M at 12:41am March 15
yeah…maybe we should stick to the castle then lol. i like the castle idea. we’ll build it so that we can have our own water taxi to take us to ikea
lol
A at 12:43am March 15
Man, that’s a great idea… So I guess we’d have to be pretty close to Ikea. Or just across an ocean or something. LOL.
M at 12:44am March 15
yup : ) we can live on an island somewhere
A at 12:46am March 15
Right. The island that we’ll buy. We can set up a government and a constitution… LOL. Too much American history.
M at 12:51am March 15
lol wt do we need that for if its just us three. “no person shall hatch super evil plans to invade the other persons’ wings”
lol
A at 12:53am March 15
“We the people of this island, to form a more perfect, uh, island… something… do solemnly ordain that the water taxi will take us daily to Ikea.”
S at 12:23pm March 15
I hate to depress you guys, but the last person that tried to make their own island got invaded by Nigeria. I’m not even kidding.
M at 1:21pm March 15
which is why we’ll just have to b part of the u.s.
M at 1:21pm March 15
i guess we COULD just write that constitution for fun
S at 2:59pm March 15
Yeah… beats being part of Nigeria.
A at 3:05pm March 15
“We do solemnly swear and ordain that we will take any measures necessary never to become part of Nigeria…” ? LOL
M at 4:05pm March 15
lol thats hilarious but nigeria doesn’t have to honor that clause and im pretty sure their army has more than 3 ppl so wt measures would we take?
S at 4:11pm March 15
Umm… “screw you, you’re Nigeria” measures? Aren’t they like… an 8th world country?
A at 4:12pm March 15
LOL… We’ll just have to get ourselves an army. I’m sure there are plenty of people willing to protect us…
M at 7:32pm March 15
o right, thats true. theres always plenty of ppl willing to do wt we want since we’re good looking
A at 8:16pm March 15
Of course. Our beauty will speak for itself.
S at 8:17pm March 15
But… maybe we can keep Nigeria from attacking us by being beautiful.
S at 8:17pm March 15
Then we won’t need the army.
A at 8:18pm March 15
Even better. Make love, not war.
A at 8:18pm March 15
That’ll be part of our constitution.
M at 8:35pm March 15
lmao omg i’m going to save this conversation. this is the best decision making process ever
A at 8:37pm March 15
Indeed, this conversation deserves to be preserved for the ages…
