If you’re out and about and you notice someone with earphones in their ears, singing, is Asian and short. Good chance it’s likely me. Fiddy fiddy chance you can say Hi and freak out a stranger or freak me out because of my anxiety. The choice is yours! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

If I said hi to you do you have some sort of codeword you'll say back because I don't wanna make a dick of myself. Maybe something like LOLLIPOP.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

If I say LOLLIPOP how would you respond so I know it’s THE CEOofmyhouse? Will you say it’s me CEOofmyhouse I’m making insert food choice for dinner tonight? Or being a Friday my hubby’s picking up take out?? I too don’t want to feel foolish 😅

My codeword would be PUDDING because that wouldn't seem weird at all.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You say PUDDING and my first thought is the show Supernatural 🤣

There’s a scene where one of the two brothers are in an mental hospital and Dean says pudding after dropping his pants to make he seem crazy (to fit in, they were there on a hunting monster case)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Haha. There you go. I'll say PUDDING but I won't drop me daks.

reply "thank goddess"

and make that the Standard Issue DT Secret Handshake

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I was just about to suggest a secret handshake too - that one would be perfect

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait what’s the secret DT handshake? I don’t know it. Does that make me a phoney? Am I really Goddess_Amaterasu or an imposter?!?! (No no it is me I promise)

we just invented it here. "Lollipop!" ~~"Thank goddess!"~~ "Pudding!"

Edit: Hadn't read the comments above yet. The reply is pudding

I do that too but I use headphones. That's the way to tell us apart.
