Here it is, Fallow, a thread for you to display your weirdness, and for me to admire it.

Fine - I'll just create my own damn weirdness.

Where your eyes don't go a filthy scarecrow waves its broomstick arms
And does a parody of each unconscious thing you do
When you turn around to look it's gone behind you
On its face it's wearing your confused expression
Where your eyes don't go

Where your eyes don't go a part of you is hovering
It's a nightmare that you'll never be discovering
You're free to come and go or talk like Kurtis Blow
But there's a pair of eyes in back of your head

Every jumbled pile of person has a thinking part that wonders
What the part that isn't thinking isn't thinking of
Should you worry when the skullhead is in front of you
Or is it worse because it's always waiting where your eyes don't go?

Where your eyes don't go a part of you is hovering
It's a nightmare that you'll never be discovering
You're free to come and go or talk like Kurtis Blow
But there's a pair of eyes in back of your head

Where your eyes don't go a filthy scarecrow waves its broomstick arms
And does a parody of each unconscious thing you do
When you turn around to look it's gone behind you
On its face it's wearing your confused expression
Where your eyes don't go

Aha! I have made a discovery. Both rivka and beverly have ventured into the super-secret thread, which leads me to believe that they are in fact Fallow!

*Has Fallow/Rivka/Beverly lay on velvet couch*
*Pulls out notepad*
*When did this happen? And what the heck is up with the scarecrow song? It's kind of creepy*

Posted by Space Opera (Member # 6504) on :

Hmmm. The mention of a stripper leads me to the notion that you have issues with your mother.

Fallow, it appears that you are hostile towards parts of yourself. You must learn to embrace you real you, even if that real you likes taffeta.

Poor Fallow. Wounds are never any fun. And what does "what are you on about" mean? Currently I take a multi-vitamin.

It's called sleep-posting.

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

Some of us are PSTers, Farmgirl. That's the awake side of midnight, for us. [Wink]

Posted by Space Opera (Member # 6504) on :

I'm not a PST person, I've just been unable to sleep lately. And what the heck are all you people doing in the super-secret thread?

Posted by punwit (Member # 6388) on :

Just a casual observation here, fallow is as amenable to direction as a feline. It's like a saying of my mother's, "You can't herd cats"

Getting fallow to follow your lead is similar.

*Hopes fallow takes the comment with the good nature that it was posted with*

Posted by Space Opera (Member # 6504) on :

Ok, Fallow deleted almost all of his replies in this thread. This, of course, makes it appear as though I'm making inane comments and talking to myself. I think this could possibly make me admire his particular brand of strangeness all the more.

call it "stage fright", "performance anxiety", the sudden thrusting out of pariah shadows into the wicked ego-glare.

*wonders how a cat manages to eat skittles*

space opera

Posted by skillery (Member # 6209) on :

Fallow became a hairless cat when he was shaved by an elven blade during a visit to the Wenches' Tavern.

As you may know, once you have shaved with an elven blade, you need never shave again. This was thought to be the best cure for Fallow's constant coughing up of hairballs.

The skittles substitute for hairballs and keep the poor fellow's tongue busy.

Posted by Space Opera (Member # 6504) on :

*grabs an elven blade and shaves legs*

*weee-haw!!!*

*tries not to be grossed out by Fallow the hairless cat*

*blows Skillery a kiss for the explanation*

space opera

Posted by skillery (Member # 6209) on :

That'll keep Fallow out from under your skirt as well. I think he was missing the feeling of being covered in long, luxuriant fur. You'll be missing it come winter.

I must say, fallow, you sure have a penchant for trouble-finding!

Posted by IvyGirl (Member # 6252) on :

Sorry, space opera. [Frown]

Sorry about the yarn. Were you knitting an afghan for a clown?

Wow. After skillery's link, I have a whole new mental picture of Fallow. It's one that will give me nightmares for the remainder of my life.

skittles = sound generated by low-hanging member of short legged hairless cat when dragged on rough pavement

Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :

**Spoiler Warning** Never mix skittles and M&Ms.

Posted by skillery (Member # 6209) on :

I think I saw Fallow at the Olympic opening ceremonies. He was hiding under Bjork's skirt.

That lady wears some wierd outfits.

Posted by fallow (Member # 6268) on :

weren't me!

but on the topic of hiding, has anyone seen my S.O?

I'd normally worry about cat hair getting into it, but since you are bald all is cool.
