Half empty/half full

[devi]

I was just standing by the side of the road when some guys yelled at me from a speeding car. It could have been either "Foxy!" or "Fat slag!" (Actually, considering I was in a shapeless black parka-thing with the hood up, both seem pretty unlikely.)

Sainsbury's is full of slightly panicky-looking flowers.

- Thats both true, funny and creates wonderful images in my mind of angsty tulips! Asda Floral section here seems hit with the same problem.

You can almost hear them thinking "Buy me! Buy me! It's nearly three o'clock! Will I ever be in water again? Noooo, I'll be in a skip by the close of business today..."

Aww...thats so emotive I'm tempted to go out and rescue them all...even in their massively inflated for-today-only prices! Poor flowers!
(You should go into sales...you're good at this!)

I had some people yell at me from a passing car one night last week. Sadly I have no idea what they shouted. It sounded like "Apple-y".

Focsle? Fuck's sake? Foxhole? Facile? Fax me? Fast lag?

There is only one thing that yobs yell from car windows, it is,

Shall I compare thee to a summers day,

At 5:31 PM Sainsbury's will be full of slightly panicky-looking besuited salary slaves. The flowers have no cause to worry, unless they get anxiety attacks in overcrowded commuter trains.

LOL. That's a fantastic description.

Saw some flowers in a nearby shop at lunch time, and thought there was something odd about them. In hindsight, it probably was a slightly panicky look.

Do they mean you're like an Apple Mac? Mmm, sexy.

I like the idea that drive-by shouters might know the word 'facile'. But again, there wasn't much that was facile about my hooded black coat, so it's still a mystery.

If only.

Matt got called 'Ozzy Osbourne' by a similar carful recently. I reckoned that was a compliment.

[hawkida.livejournal.com]

I doubt it. I thought maybe I heard a tiny bit of a longer sentence like

CALL TH[E POLI]CE!

or something but they were gone before that struck me.

I'm actually pretty freaked out by the thought that, now that Ozzy is such a big name in America, he'll be the obvious reference point for Yanks trying to comprehend my weird British accent and hair...

Mm, really I think it was probably focsle. Your coat was no doubt quite piratical.

People tend to shout things like "You're the nutter who chased my car down and dented my boot/wing, last time I shouted an insult at you"

I'm nasty
