The pixie’s head pounded. She sat alone in a darkened room, waiting for the drugs to take the pain away. She wanted to cry, it hurt so badly, but being a brave pixie she could not.
From out of nowhere, a form appeared, reaching to touch her pounding brow. Gentle fingers stroked her fevered skin, whispering soothing words to draw the pain away.
She smiled gratefully, uttering one word of thanks. “Umph”. Hugo nodded, understanding its full meaning, and then vanished, leaving one arched brow hovering in mid air for a long, sweet moment, and then she was alone again.
Crossstitch of roses And kittens on monitors Boxes of White Wine And warm flannel drawstrings Brown paper eBay packages Tied up with strings These are a few of Jo's favorite things
Cream colored temari balls And crisp apple strudels Doorbells and Pizza deliveries An' smack and cheeze noodles Wild Hugos that fly with the moon on their wings, These are a few of Jo's favorite things
Dave in white dresses, With blue satin sashes, Leopardskin thongs that stay on her nose and eyelashes, Silver white winters, That melt before she has to drive to work in it... These are a few of Jo's favorite things
When the Game bites, When the Plot stings, When she's feelin' sad, She simply remember her favorite things, And then she attacks my pup and gives him agony and grief and this no longer rhymes..... tooo bad!
The whole thing's amusing, but this bit jumped out at me somehow. And yes, I DID Google the words Postal Pixie and stumbled on this!
So, how do these networks work?
Basically, networks operate by having a number of pixies work together in order to move packets of data from one place to another. To control the movement and interaction of these pixies, various types of protocol exist which we will look at in greater detail in the rest of this document. At this point, it must be pointed out that Microsoft use imps instead of pixies, and Novell use both. Various different pixie control protocols are in common use, and we will look in more detail at some: This is an oversimplfication since it sort of bundles transport protocols with other things. To networks people this is important to systems managers it isn't.
TCP:
TCP stands for "Totally Controllable Pixies" - This protocol was invented by the Americans who are well known for exaggerating many claims. In actuality, the pixies are not under much control and do pretty much what they want. Often seen in association with the Totally Controllable Pixie protocol are two other phrases, "IP" (Intelligent Pixies) and "UDP" (Unusually Dumb Pixies). As a general rule, if you use the Intelligent Pixie protocol, you stand a better chance of the packets being delivered than if you use the Unusually Dumb Pixie protocol. Since TCP is by far the most common pixie protocol these days, we will look at this in more detail later, but for completeleness, we will look at some others.
Title: "Booking A Vacation" Author: cocoajava Pairing: Dave/Hugo Rating: G Disclaimer: The book exists. The situation, alas, hasn't ever happened. Triple-drabble (300 words exactly) written for sarcasticchick who wanted to see Dave and Hugo in the library stacks, for some damned reason!
Ms. Jo, sorry I got distracted last night. Mellors was frolicking naked, with wildflowers. Yeah. You know how I said I wasn't crazy about the movie? Well, it got a helluva lot better. Not a great film by any means ... *ducks to miss RohanDove's shoe* ... but fun.
So just wondering what's your opinion on facial hair? Because, um ... well, I just thought the idea of running your fingers through this might make you feel better. And yes, once the in-laws disappear in a mysterious RVing accident and we collect the insurance money, I will cough up the big bucks to buy you one of these. Until then, just ignore the tacky watermarks and let your imagination run wild.
I'm brainstuck on Jo's latest drabble challenge to me - I WILL conquer it but it's not sparking in mah brain right now, but I wanted to kick off the SarcasticLoveAThon with something to make her smile after what's gonna be a VERY long day at work. What, 12 hours or so today it's looking like? Gah.
Anyway. Watch me recycle the heck outta an old story! Dave/Hugo, rated G for Goofy (but R for language, them bad boys). Tossing it in Jo's lap just for some quick grins and giggles.
Happy Birthday, sarcasticchick. Mah buddy mah pal mah partner in plotcrimes of epic proportions, mah coffee daytime cross-state-co-worker mah griper and bitching companion, she who keepeth me sane when all reason around us fails....
And when we run out of reason or rhymes or any other way to go....
