I am a "good people" and I stayed. I like it here. I get more than I give, but nobody seems to mind. Or they are all getting a cut of my annual membership fee so they tolerate me.
HRQ, you are pretty dang funny. You seem funnier than my first go around on this forum. What happened? Then again, Ray has more personality than I remember too.
Posting on this thread is like shopping at Walmart. You know you shouldnt do it. You know you are contributing to the demise of the world. BUT its soooo hard to stop.
The forum has evolved over the years. I'm more comfortable with the current group.
As many of you know, a few years ago there were quite a few Forumites who were and surely still are extremely knowledgable, gave solid advice, and also enjoyed passionate debate. OK, maybe it was more like passionate fighting. I will debate when necessary, but I do not like to fight. Even serious issues can be debated civilly and professionally.
Soooo.... I only chimed in when I felt comfortable.
Maybe I'm a namby pamby non-serious poster who's easily intimidated and afraid of public confrontation. Or maybe I feel there's a better way to resolve disagreements. I also feel I have a lot more to learn than I do to teach.
Oh, wait... You wanted to know why I am funnier now. My ha-ha meter went up a notch because there's less competition to be entertaining. I'm picking the low fruit. x;-)
We are big kids here and can resolve our own issues internally. No need to call the cops. Want me to straighten Missk out? I have may ways. I don't remember her using that word though and am too lazy to research it.
Maybe she'll just step up and say "I am sorry if I offended anyone. It's all a big misunderstanding. What I meant to type was 'boo.'" I was trying to frighten Paul."
OK, so I went over there to see what the big deal was.
Paul, are you crazy? You flew in, poked people with a sharp stick, and then laughed maniacally. Sheesh. I'm surpised you haven't found a bag of flaming dog poo on your front porch yet. (Or have you?)
Looks like you had a good time. x:D
I happen to enjoy you. Just wish you could find yourself a loyal sidekick who could keep you in line. You'll notice ray never gets himself into this kind of situation. Someone's been looking out for him.
The problem, HRQ, Paul and Frank are fighting over who gets to play the Lone Ranger and who gets relegated to playing Tonto. Neither one wants to be second banana.
Quote from Missk: "Also, I didn't see what the big deal was when a colleague brushed past me a couple years back and said "I JUST FELT YOUR BOOB!" but that doesn't mean I can't understand why it might be offensive to someone else." Be it known I did not snicker because this was a clearly defined statement of fact versus the snickerable innuendo from NaeNae. Innuendo allows the 13 year old to come out to play, while "boob" leaves no room for imagination. So Q taking the adult route makes sense. Now you all need to try to create more innuendo!!! Like will the Wii Suits come with padding?
And it's even more funnier because it was unintentional. I typically don't laugh when someone TRIES to do that.
I think the Wii suits should go for a new look. Instead of fake abs and pecs, we should insert a fake beer gut. Maybe some cellulite. Make it unique. Then in our real clothes we look great by comparison.

What does Wii mean, anyway? Maybe they meant to call it Wifi but the f key on the labelling machine petered out and they couldn't replace it in time for production?
Or maybe it represents the sound the remote control thingie makes as it's whizzing through the air, just before it hits someone's poor yapping pomeranian in the eye.
Edit: anybody notice how allsteaks so smoothly shifted the topic to the Wii suits? And I fell right in line with him. allsteaks, please keep all Wii discussons on the Wii thread. (Say that out loud, and it sounds like we are using really bad Irish accents...)
TTTWND is intended for another very serious topic and we need to maintain focus. Someone please tell me what that topic is. I can't remember.

Oh, is "boob" not allowed on this forum? Or is its use reserved for references to you? ;-)
Q - I think innuendo and boob are both (?) serious subjects, similar to previous posters statements about not posting to this thread (repeatedly). But they both could be petering out as they have aged considerably the last couple of days. We all know what age and gravity do to ............... well, you know.. And missk, boob certainly isn't all that derogatory by comparison to other names people have selected for personal descriptions! And I personally think your usage was quite appropriate under the circumstances. By the way, did you slug him?

I like to think (and they let me) that we
have a better quality competition!

Nobody has to post here if they don't want to!
heehee.
I don't even read these threads, much less respond to them.
Maybe she'll just step up and say "I am sorry if I offended anyone. It's all a big misunderstanding. What I meant to type was 'boo.'" I was trying to frighten Paul."
I, however, am playing the grown-up today.
Well, that explains the schism. Most of the folks on the "other" forum don't believe in evolution.
Paul, are you crazy? You flew in, poked people with a sharp stick, and then laughed maniacally. Sheesh. I'm surpised you haven't found a bag of flaming dog poo on your front porch yet. (Or have you?)

Yeah, I dont know why I do it either. There is something wrong with me.

The beer gut suit would be innappropriate for the Wii though because you actually have to move around to play games. Its pretty much like excercise.
Thus the soreness Nae and her husband.. giggle.. umm.. yeah, the soreness Nae experienced... OK I cant get through this... giggle
