[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 10-22-03 AT 08:44AM (CST)[/font][p]Shhh.. the warden is coming.. I bet Don called him from a far as Ray and Beagle seem to be verging on out of control..
Please take note that I have exercised a significant amount of restraint and propriety during Don's absence and it has been Ray who has been instigating all the mischief. I haven't even posted as much as Ray has today. I've been busy preparing for my conference tomorrow. x:-)
You, Ray, Don, Don's Twin - You all got a group thing goin'. You juggle that halo and pitchfork around all with a Chessie Grin until no one can remember who started what.
(tsk, tsk, tsk) And you want to be invited to the Forum Ladies' Conference!
Merely wishing to go on the record as being the very model of restraint during this period. I am taking the high road -- and if I hit a pothole occasionally, I can't be blamed. x;-)
I don't know exactly when that song came out, but I remember I was in the fourth grade singing proudly to this song. I was too young to pay attention to the words - back then I thought it was an ANTHEM for short people! (Who ISN'T short in the fourth grade?)
Just thought I would pop in and make a few observations. The one with the BROWN mustache, BROWN hair and BROWN leather jacket is not the innocent cherub he trys to convince us he is. He throws in his barbs and taunts. He tries to convince us of his vituousness i.e. taking the high road with the potholes. The other fella, the one that blows the tuba, is the one that started this post about size. Without pointing one single finger,without any words of reproach, without a solitary suggestion of crude thoughts, he tries to persuade that his intention is impeccable and he is more than willing to pass the pitchfork on to another crusader.
Puss & Toots: Come on Big Boys, let's see your stuff. Can you answer the question? Do you have the fortitude and chutzpah to open the gates of ignorance and lay to rest our uneasiness? Will you tell us, once and for all, the truth? If you are 6'1" do you really earn $57,597?
My dear obstreperous and vituperative Ritaanz, as both my esteemed colleague, the noble Parabeagle, and I have already stated, we have both posted our height and weight previously. Leaving out weight (because I do have a few extra unneccesary pounds on Beagle) we are both 6'0". We intentionally did not re-post that vital information because we both wanted to test your research skills. And do you think either of us would work for a measly $57,597? $$$
Dahlink: I was delving into your report on the article. Since you are indicating that it would be beneath you and Puss to work for $57,597 (or at 6' it would be $56,808), I can only assume that both of you are also grossly overpaid. Therefore, the only conclusion I can come to about that "article" is that it is extraneous and superfluous. Ergo.....size does not matter.
As to being vituperative and obstreperous, I take umbrage with your portrayal since I am neither hurling abuse nor defying your control. I may be brash and impulsive but mathematically speaking, if your bosses read that "article", Puss and Toots may be budget surplus.
Honey, Baby, Sweetheart x:* You could never offend or distress me. I take great pleasure in sparing with you. I, too, agree it would be more fun if Puss were around. Then I would have the two of you to denigrate. Tata Toots.
Here is a good quote that seems to apply. Shakespeare was so often a very good judge of human nature. Hopefully, everyone realizes this is all in good fun.
"O Sir, we quarrel in print, by the book, as you have books for good manners. I will name you the degrees. The first, the Retort Courteous; the second, the Quip Modest; the third, the Reply Churlish; the fourth, the Reproof Valiant; the fifth, the Countercheck Quarrelsome; the sixth, the Lie with Circumstance; the seventh, the Lie Direct." --As You Like It, V:4

I swore off of platform shoes in the 70's, but if that will get me grossly overpaid, I might reconsider.

Thanks! (sarcasm)

(Hmmm, could be considered.)

Way to go ritaanz!

Today won't be as much fun without Parabeagle to jump in.
