Cooper and the Wombat on mastication

By

Your Honor she’s making fun of Christianity. It’s unpatriotic. I’m afraid that it will hurt the troops.

Alan Shore (James Spader) to a Judge on Boston Legal.

That statement, wow. I could take it so many places, but chose not to tonight. However, if other people want to. I should explain it in context of the episode but tired.

Here are two people who don’t need an introduction to the readers of Courting. The Wombat thinks that I compliment him too much. No, I respect people who understand history in all its forms and he does.

I love people who know the history of rock as it’s the history of several generations, and goes back much further when you go to the blues and the jazz influences. History is so wonderful, I can’t understand why more people don’t want to learn it as it can be learned through so many different lenses.

The Wombat even posted on how to properly watch The Rocky Horror Show, in the aisles, in character.

It played at The Waverly on Sixth Avenue near West Third Street, midnights on Saturday, until the horrible Eraserhead, which I would probably love today, came out. The club where everybody did know my name was very close by, and I had to run into it in the middle of Eraserhead to throw-up. My boyfriend Zachary chose to stay until the end. My taste has become progressively more violent over the years. Though I much prefer sex in films. Usually starring James Spader.

Cooper goes to NYU which fits in with the geographic location I have brought this too, but she’s taking the semester off, and seems to find every cause worth knowing about, at least. Cooper, besides being the Queen of Courting Moderation though not in awhile, is the True comment Empress. Someday I will do an in-depth anaylsis of Cooper’s seven commenting styles as practiced at Courting.

Cooper, the Wombat and I all share a deep love of Boston Legal. Like the Wombat I never took William Shatner seriously, or hadn’t since Star Trek. Unlike Cooper I do watch other network shows but never live and never before 11:30 PM.

Cooper posted the following though the Wombat says he also immediately saw its possiblities. It seems fitting that my first co-authored post is an IM by them. Dare you not to like this, and don’t want to say anything more.

EsotericWombat: hmm… I hunger… probably has something to do with the fact that I’ve yet to eat
Cooper: go eat sweet thing
Cooper: eating sounds good as a matter of fact.
EsotericWombat: time to masticate and summarily digest plant and animal tissue
Cooper: oh you had ot use that word masitcate didn’t you
EsotericWombat: I haven’t used it in a while
EsotericWombat: and anyways that word isn’t even vaguely naughty unless you say it out loud
Cooper: please wombatty don’t let me stop you from masticating
EsotericWombat: and how do you know that I’m not right now?
Cooper: you wouldn’t masticate while aiming with me
Cooper: would you?
EsotericWombat: oh wow I didn’t even see that
EsotericWombat: umm…
EsotericWombat: *sputter*
EsotericWombat: I bet this is what a computer feels like when it gets hit with a 404 error
Cooper: ah
Cooper: well tell me then
Cooper: are you masticating?
EsotericWombat: at the moment, no.
Cooper: you will tell me when you begin..right?
EsotericWombat: but it is entirely possible for me to not wish to lose the time in your presence while CHEWING FOOD

    I love that IM.

    I had an aim wall in high school- i actually brought it to NYU with me in a lesser form but it was filled with my favorite IM conversations.

    Think I need to start it back up.

    I missed BL tonight I got here, put on some coffee and remembered at 11:15.

    I am going to have to have people send me some kind of ringing email or phone message. I’m so pissed.

    Jacob I never moderate comments, but if this comes back to haunt Cooper we are truly doomed

    It reminds me of 30’s humor, when people couldn’t say or act out everything.

    So they excelled at wit and between the lines, an art form that seems to have been lost

    I can see them doing this on film in dressing gowns

    Oh Kyahgirl, Rosie Palm can be quite helpful… or so I, um, hear?

    Ha, ha, haaa! I LOVED this IM… classic Coop and Wombat FO SHO! Here’s to masticating good times! Ooooweeee!

    I keep an archive of all my IMs, and this one sticks out, even among the pages and pages I have with Cooper.

    and it’s such a pun goldmine. Just play madlibs and insert the words sausage, taco, foot-long, clam, etc…

    Tongue in cheek is something that often occurs during mutual mastication

    A: I’m 6’5, yo. And Ive been at it since I was two.

    Also, the song “Eyesight to the Blind comes to mind.”

    This is pushing the envelope at it’s finest.

    Yet one more man steamrolled by a quick-witted female into dumfounded stupicifcation.

    Brotherhood!

    I about died when Mr. Spader set the maple syrup on her table during her opening statement.

    I used to do some accounting for the theatre in college. We usually showed recent movies, movies that were just out of normal theaters but not yet available at the video store. However, every October: Rocky Horror Picture Show. Our theater was a mess. It took hours to clean everyday we showed the film but we made the most money.

    I am telling strangers all of this. 🙂
