bloodbank conversation

What could you give a 40-minute presentation on with absolutely no preparation?

Ajo: I asked my friends on bldbank because they never show their faces.



[Thoom ] Herbs. Soups.

         [Bunny ] He said 40 minutes, not 40 years.

                   [Meadowlark ] Yes ... it would take that long or longer.



[Knyflok ] Tea. Water.

         [Thoom ] Ah. The simple things of life.

         [Ajo ] Like me!

                   [Knyflok ] No. You're complicated.

                             [Bawang ] Get a room!

                                       [Ajo ] We have.



[Clovia ] How to shave without cutting ... well ... maybe an occasional nick or two. No one's perfect.

         [Sarah Shoom ] There was only that one time. He didn't bleed much and I lapped it all up! Don't be hard on yourself.

                   [Clovia ] Yeah, well, thanks for getting me out of that mess.



[Old Sniffer ] The fragrances of blood types.

         [Brett ] Those who have any, eh, Lily?

                   [Lily ] Whatever, Brat.



[Lily ] Cryogenics. I've been frozen once. *shudder* Or would you rather have a virtual tour of a hog factory? The killing floor is where the fun's at.



[Bawang ] How to kept your fangs in tip-top shape. Assertiveness training.

         [Czeszniak] How to nibble without biting? What was his name? Do I see you blushing.

                   [Bawang ]I never blush.

                             [Anon] Oops, must be a trickle of my blood on your ...



[Brett ] How not to piss off people in Detroit. Yeah ... thanks a lot, folks.



[Bunny ] How to cook an acre of carrots? How to love an orphan. The color blue?

         [Robert , a guest] Orphan?

                   [Meadowlark ] Yeah, me. Actually I was abandoned. Bunny found me and raised me.



[Meadowlark ] The joys of being a vampy-vegetarian. The struggles of building community with really weird people.

         [Anon] How can you be a vegetarian and joyful?

                   [Ajo ] Visit our community. After Bawang flashes their fangs you'll be joyful that you're not dinner.

                   [Brett ] Or a snack. Some of us are always hungry.

                             [Bunny ] Mind your manners, Brett!

         [Knyflok ]As for weird? Yes. But I've seen weirder.

                   [Czeszniak] Oh, please, do tell.

         [Charlieee, a guest] I'll take a ticket for the vampy vegetarian seminar.

                   [Meadowlark ] Would you like to sign up for "Shrooms and Greens" or "Fruits and Nuts"? There's room in both and you'd be welcome to join us.



[Sarah Shoom ] How to dance? How to stay positive? Anyone love jewelry?

         [Meadowlark ] As long as it isn't silver. Bloodstone is better.



[Czeszniak] History of woodworking or well ... anything historical. Cookies!

         [Bunny ] I'll go with cookies. You can out talk Thoom.

         [Thoom ] I'll provide the tea.



[Mr. Nightengale ] Immortality versus death.

         [Thoom ] An ancient topic.

         [Knyflok ] Yes, an eternal one.

         [Apondia , a guest] Save me a seat for immortality versus death.

                   [Thoom A truly deep topic. Mortality can be a gift. Come to The Shallot for tea. I'll mix up some herbs while we sit and chat.



[Ajo ] And on that note we're going to wrap it up.

         [Bawang ] Spoil sport.
