Xtina is not doing well!

[matty]

For those of you who remember her, Xtina is in need of your prayers.

For those of you who need some memory jogging, certain members of the Board rescued Xtina from certain doom when they found her sitting on a curb somewhere in Columbia, unwanted.

This weekend, after a brief drunkfest on the town, some of us reconvened at my apartment for some after-bar tomfoolery. Jason Inc, known lately for being something of a drunk disaster, picked up Xtina and smashed her against the side of my coffee table, which put a nice dime-sized puncture hole right in her. Gross water everywhere. DISASTER. EXTREME PARTY FOUL.

So we patched her up with some packing tape, and she's functional for now, except for a faint whistling sound coming from her wound.

Jason Inc is coming over tonight to apply some surgery, as we have all the pieces, but the outlook is grim. Despite the packing tape, she is leaking water from somewhere else, and I suspect there is a hairline fracture. Xtina's days are numbered, I fear. Soon, I may have to put her back out on the streets from whence she came, to disappear into memory like the smoky clouds she and I so often emitted together...

oh nos!

ask 007 for some epoxy tips... speaking of which, how's the miracle doing, 007?

[Soul Queen]

It sounds like her time has come.

RIP XTINA

[Diamond Vision]

[Ag Au]

i'm all for reduce reuse recycle, but i say its time to but her down. move on my friend, it was a good run.

Epoxy can fix many, many problems. Go buy a tube or two & give it a whirl. Be generous with the goop is my advice.

Only have the Baker now.
The Miracle was passed to Duck many years ago. It was a 'retirement community' situation. It kept rolling for a while, but succumbed with dignity in the end.

Aren't most things with Duck a 'retirement community' situation? :oldman:

Jason came over and worked some epoxy magic. Xtina lives!!! Which is a lot to go through, considering I really don't use her very much any more in my old age. If it weren't for Sesqi, Jason Inc, and Kevin, I'd hardly ever use her. But still--nice to know she's there.

I've grown weary of her name, tho. Now that she has survived, I feel she deserves a new name. I am now accepting suggestions!

[matty]

The original name is Christina Aguilera (shortened to Christina's edgier "Xtina") because she was found on a streetcorner. Like a whore.

[zero2056]

From a person not knowing what the fuck Xtina is (though I now have some fairly certain guesses with all the epoxy tips floating about), my first impression was that you were talking about some elaborate blow up doll, which was much more humorous to imagine.

How about Brit Brit, after the lovely Ms. Spears who now speaks in a British accent. Although, the mental ward might knock that habit out of her. :acid:

[007]

Surgery successful!

Whatever the name, consider these the golden years and enjoy while it lasts.

I suggest Rasputin, after the Russian mystic who persevered even after being poisoned, shot, knocked in the head, drugged and thrown in an icy river.

[matty]

Yeah, I want nothing to do with Britney. I'm just waiting for her to off herself so we can all move on.

Rasputin is a great suggestion...
