The question doesn't really do my question justice, but here's an example -

I love it when she does dialogue. I hardly ever laugh so hard as I do when she does a dialogue, whether it be between her and Eric, or her and some random person. Cracks me up!

And the open letters. God I love those.

I like the letters and the dialogue. I like the entries written by the cats too. That makes me sound like I don't like "regular" Pamie entries, but I do! The other kinds are just unexpected treats when they show up.

I love them all, but the Taylor ones are the only ones I can't read at work. I have to wait until I'm home and nobody who controls my future can hear me cackle and watch me laugh til I cry.

The first Pamie entry I ever read was the one where she has those weird-ass problems with the horn on her car. Made me laugh so hard it hurt. I don't remember which entry it was, though.
That one worked its way into my brain, I swear. My car is having problems now, and whenever I get really pissed, I remember that it could be the horn. Makes me feel better, even if the car isn't starting.

My favorite entries involve Eric and Pamie talking in bed. The ones about the lettuce are cool, but my favorite went something like Pamie said, Baby! For f*ck's sake give me a pillow! And Eric was all, Sorry, baby. And Pamie had all the pillows herself. Hee-hee. That one always makes me laugh.

Yeah, I gotta agree about when Taylor writes. If I had to pick a favorite, that would be it. I always end up with liquids on my screen when I read what Taylor writes.

But -- I also must say that I like EVERY type of entry pamie does, from dialog to open letters to whatever. Oh, but one of my all-time favorites was when pamie was doing Tae-Bo and hallucinating that Billy was talking to her. I think the cats were too. I never laughed harder!

I can't decide. It's like trying to choose my favorite form of chocolate. I love them all!

Granted, I've only been reading Squishy for a month or so now, two months at the most (yead, I did read a valentines one, so maybe it has been two and a half months), but the cat entries are usually my favorites. I'm a sucker for animals, Pamie's cat entries and Beth's dog entries always get me going.

I also really liked the gamer entry(ies) she did because I too have gamer skeletons (undead, level 1) hanging in my dorky teenage closet. Luckily I'm past that now, and wasn't at all interested when someone posted in the forum that the third edition is coming out this summer. Not at all.

The open letters and the postings from the cats. It's embarassing at work sometimes, I'm laughing so hard. It's not easy to explain to your co-workers why you're holding your sides and wiping your eyes while you're at your computer ("Well, see, there's this cat with a French accent who's talking about his day...").

Cats, Dialogue and I like when she has the entries with pics. I intrude.

What's your favorite Pamie entry style?

I'll ignore just how nasty dirty that sounds and say that the Valentine's Day entries are my favorites. But then, my undying crush on Pamie means that I always have to imagine she's writing them to me.

I'm not a dangerous stalker. I promise. No, really. Why the restraining order?

-- Anonymous, April 13, 2000

My all time favorite is I'm Just Saying. Probably the funnest (is that a word) birthday present I had last year.

Whenever I introduce Pamie to someone, that's where I start.

I read the Tiny Wooden Hands one aloud to my brother, and we cracked up forever. That is still one of my favorites... but when she started doing Cal... oh dear, I thought that was hysterical. I know everyone loves Taylor, but I find him funnier when Cal is in there. Oh, and the dialogues, of course. It took me a little while to figure out what the lettuce was. Pamie, I adore you. You're super-duper.

-- Anonymous, April 14, 2000

I'm not sure I have a favourite style, because Pamie cracks me up every day, but the funniest entry of hers is still Menstrual Girl. That was pure comedy gold.

I love the Cal talking entries and the talking to cigarettes entries too. Hell, I love it all, and if anybody tries to remove my internet access I'll print them all off and read them to my children one day.

Taylor and Cal, so funny, makes me laugh out loud, at work. But my all time favorite is the one with Eric and Pamie beat boxing. I'd missed it that day so my roommate read it to me in the kitchen. I laughed so much my I hurt.

We quote Pamie to each other, "my science is too tight." "that woman in your mouth sounds like she's in pain." Of course there's misquoting (mostly by me) "what's that opera lady doing in there?" And then we laugh a lot. Love the Pamie.

My favorite was the beat boxing. Reminded me of my fiance and I singing together. Then the tiny wooden hand and any cat entry... Cal rocks.

'I poop on your poop.' Let me just say, my friend and I use versions of that daily.

-- Anonymous, April 14, 2000

the cats, the cats, the cats. They win out over anything else. The dialogues are a very close second. please tell me which entry is the horn one. I need to know immediately. The tiny wooden hands is the one that I send to friends to introduce them to pamie. It always works. They are sucked in like a tornado. But oh, I love those cat ones. Taylor talking mostly, especially when he gets so disgusted with Cal. If I don't get a life soon, there is going to be trouble.

-- Anonymous, April 14, 2000

Oh how could I have forgotten the beatboxing ones? Those sound files were the funniest things EVER, not to mention the entry. Oh my.

I have to bite my lip from saying "my science is so tight" or "you're just blinded by my science" because no one says that kind of thing up here, so they would have NO IDEA what I'm talking about.

Any entry where she says "mih" or "meh" or "iiih" is great, too.

-- Anonymous, April 14, 2000

My favorites are the cat guest entries and dialog. I really cracked up over Cal's tour of the apartment.

Nancey, here's the link to the horn entry.
I followed this link from another journal. Haven't laughed that hard in ages.
"WEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaa aaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiaaaaaaa"

I love the cat guest entries and the dialogue entries. And any entry where I can get some great Pamie quoteables. So far, I have to say, "My science is so tight" is my favorite. But "I poop on your poop" is a very close contender. I really loved the entry about what her Granma is like.

Who am I kidding....I like them all.

Pamie - you should make your journal into a book. I'd buy it. Ooo, you could sell your journal to Hollywood and make a bundle..that's a movie I'd go see.

Just what does "my science is too tight" mean, anyway? I must be getting old, cuz I'm not down with the lingo anymore. But really, could someone PLEASE explain this to someone who's totally out of the loop?

Thanks.

"My science is too tight."

Comes from a Mr. Show sketch. It was an 80's movie spoof about fat camp kids versus Monks in this field day showdown. The score (of course) is tied before the final competition: rap.

The fat kids bring in a rap star (damn, I can't remember who it was right now) and Bob Odenkirk goes on for the Monks. And he's all "and I rap and I rap and I rap, rap, rap." I'm so not doing this justice, here. In any event, as Bob's "rapping," they do a close up on the rap star, who goes, "Damn. His science is too tight."

Monks win.

And you know, there's always the Beasties: "Droppin' science like Galileo dropped an orange" from "Sound of Science."

In any event, I didn't make it up, but I'm happy to have made it a catchphrase. Eric is usually the one to make the catchphrases around here, but Trejo recently credited me with getting people to say "juiced in," which is because I watch too much Sopranos. My mother wouldn't understand a word I say.

"Well, you always did well in Biology. I don't know if you didn't think it fit you as a career, but I'd hardly say that form of science was 'tight.'"

Dialogue. Dialogue, dialogue, dialogue. Especially between you and Eric.

Other stuff I love: rants. Back in the early days you had a couple of righteous rants that were just beautiful.

And any of your "girls are weird" entries, oh yeah.

I just read the horn one, and I am dying. DYING laughing. That was one of the best ones I've read. You think you are the only one with all of these very strange problems and then you find out that Pamie has them too. That's the best part about it. When my Mother came up here to visit me from NY and she spent 3 glorious days in my life we were sitting in the car and she just looked at me- HARD. I said to her "Don't worry, it's really not as bad as it seems, I get by with all the weirdness" she just said "yeah".

Thanks, Pamie. I really had no idea where that came from (not having HBO!), and it's always good to know this stuff!

By the way, I was able to sneak something about my science being too tight into a conversation last night... But we were actually talking about science!

I told my boyfriend his science was too tight, and he looked at me and said, "Uh...is that a GOOD thing?"..>LOL

-- Anonymous, April 17, 2000

oh dear lord, i have been mistaken all this time about tight science. i thought this was the new thing all the kids were saying. i didn't realize that not everybody (who's anybody, of course) knew this reference. i've been throwing it around like everyone should just instinctively know how street-smart i am. oh well, i'm going to continue this line of behavior, see what happens.
