Pockets of Joy

topic posted Fri, December 12, 2003 - 11:47 AM by  Ned
I am always in search of clothing that has pockets. I beginning to sew additional pockets into some of my clothing I own already. Is this an obsession?

The following items are currently in all of my pockets:

-cell phone -turned off- necessary evil
-cigarette case with my ID, debit card, business card from the International Spy Shop on Folsom (you never know)
-safety pins
-plastic cockroaches
-matches
-leatherman
-money and change
-keys
-skeleton gloves
-rolling papers (cough, cough)

I feel like I just gave away some of my secrets.

    "SOME" of your secrets? Does this mean there's more stuff in your pockets you haven't told us about? :)

    I currently have a photo of an alpaca in my purse. Some of you were fortunate enough to see it Tuesday night. It brings me great joy.

    Spreading the fluffy, alpaca-y goodness,
    Alice

      I have super soft green gloves in my pocket, because it is Very Cold outside right now.

      I have candy on my desk. It used to be in my pocket, but now it's on my desk because I will eat it eventually. And it was FREE.

      Yay, for holiday parties with free candy!

      ps. Alice, thank you for the alpaca-y goodness! Everyone can use a little of that.

        Free candy! Ha! That's what you get for living somewhere VERY COLD!!.... Uh, wait, that was supposed to sound much worse...

        I'm bored at work with a vibrating phone in my pocket. Perhaps I should call myself.

    yeah, you must have. You told us about the skeletons in your pockets. :)~

    What do you DO with the plastic cockroaches?

      I'm bored at work too. Today is my last day at work. If you give me your number I'll call your vibrating phone.

      What I do with my plastic cockroach circus is none of your business!

      I hear you know my current room mate Willow. ;P

        ah, you are the one occupying my rat's new room. ;) I promise to continue your pocket legacy in the house by sewing extra pockets onto my clothes.

          The room may currently look like there is a rat living there, but watch out for the mouse that lives in there aleady.
          He likes chocolate, especially Cadbury Creme Eggs after midnight. Not very good for digestion.
          That little f@#ker ruined my left over easter candy.

            I wonder if my pet rat will scare him away?

              you know, you could almost bill that as an event, charge admission, etc.... "rodent death match I: Miso the Titan takes on Resident Mouse."

                After Resident Mouse gets an injection of steriodal chocolate eggs I would not doubt if he may have enough energy to have an excitable heart attack.

                Has anyone else ever noticed that subjects on tribe tend to digress into senseless non-sequitor babble?

                or

                witty one liners?

                quick ...what do YOU have in your left pocket?

                -a piece of lint-

                    Did you go to the Lake Merritt fire jam last night? Did you worry about me spinning with my eyes closed? If so, we have met. Nice to meet you. :)

                      That was you?
                      You seemed offended and I felt bad after we left. I didn't mean for you to take my comment the way you took it. Have other people mentioned that to you, because you seemed really offended and annoyed.

                      Sorry :(

                        No worries. I was tired. I am usually better about disagreeing gracefully. Sorry.

                        No one else has mentioned it, actually. At least I don't stick my tongue out any more. ;)

                  This tribe seems to be best used for digression. What else could I expect when I started a tribe that just begs the question: "Is there a banana in your pocket? Or are you just happy to see me?"

        -cigarette case: same contents as above
        -LIsterine microdots
        -pocketwatch
        -3 pounds 2 pence
        -zippo
        -motorcycle keys
        -Skeleton gloves
        -1 plastic cockroach
        -GB sticker for my license plate
        -and I just found 68 additional pence!....sweet!
        -leatherman

            The tubes....I was trying to find someway to hook them up to make them glow. A kind of cyber jelly fish type of thing. Remember the part in the matrix when they pulled that thing out of his stomach. I thought they looked like seekers.
