Bugged

What kind of whackjob treats a pen "like an old friend", and proceeds to write an 8 paragraph review of it? I remember back when pens with erasable ink came on the market. The Southpaws always smeared their work and wound up wearing ink on their left hands. I wonder if they ruined it for everyone because I don't recall the pens being around very long. I also remember when white-out (Liquid Paper) was banned from my school because of sniffers. And who can forget life before the invention of hi-liters, sticky-notes and computers. Office life must've been hell for perfectionists prior to the '80s.

I'm not a fan of Bush, but throwing a shoe at the man is totally unacceptable.

While on vacation a few years back, I watched a Hairy Legs contest in which a bald, white guy in his early 30s got up on stage to show off his fairly hairless legs to the crowd. Each calf had a swastika tattoo on it. They let the guy participate in the contest right to the very end. And people actually cheered for him. I did not.

Raptors are majestic and have no place in this thread. Scavenger birds are better suited to this place.

A typo on their home page and of their own name, yet. Tsk. Someone should let them know.

Which tune was that? All Out of Love, Making Love Out of Nothing At All, Lost in Love, The One That You Love...? Air Supply of Australia...

Don't blame the Danes, blame the Chinese. In their quest to speedily kill everyone - yes, EVERYONE (even themselves) - the Chinese sell only the "best" melamine-coated, lead-lined, coffee brewers/canisters that $10 can buy. Hotels and the like can't pass up such a great deal and it's the unsuspecting, coffee-drinking masses who pay the price. *sips a Timmy's large double-double*

I think I get it, but it doesn't get me.

Furthermore, those who get it, get it. Those who don't, needn't show their faces there.

Obscure All In The Family reference grog. Or not. Whatever.

Hey, Wilhammer, I got a giggle from your post. John, You'll note that I did not call you a crazy. However, you continue to post on subjects that garner you the attention that you get - and you do it time and time again - then cry foul when it all blows up. You acknowledge in your above-quoted post that you disrupt this board. You cast blame on the mods for not moderating. You then go on to say you'll continue to post in this manner.You throw the bait out and people take the bait. What's your definition of a troll?

Yes, there's that too. I think it's a sport or something. From all perspectives, that is.

Is it even possible to discuss irrational topics (as demonstrated in a great majority of his posts) in a rational manner? I second what Affentitten posted above. Indeed. My guess is that when you find the answer to your question, you won't be so quick to jump to JK's defense.

Why just today, I was thinking it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Everywhere I go...

Sometimes it really IS better to give than receive! (Sergei, where'd you get off to for so long?)

You really suck at food fights, don't ya?

Best I can tell, we're dealing with a split-personality here. Seanachai occupies the right brain while dalem occupied the left brain. The stroke affected the left brain, ergo, dalem is now dead.

Au contraire. Unlike the subject in your latest pic, your posts are getting old fast.

Brr, that sounds cold. 'Course, he could keep warm by sleeping in the hottub ...with the lid on.

I think this is how the tradition of egging houses on Halloween night got started. I figure if they make the effort to get to my front door, it's worth some candy. Afterall, it's not as if I go all out with my own decorations at Halloween - one fake pumpkin on display doesn't exactly scream with enthusiasm. I'm hardly one to rag on the efforts of anyone else. *tosses mini chocolate bars to everyone in this thread*

Is this because you are preparing for fatherhood? Not to start rumours or anything, but isn't it about time? *tick tock*

Are you referring to the subject in the pic, or the BFC member who posted it? If it's the pic you're referring to, then I second that motion.

Oooooh... I don't knooooow... Just the other day I was watching a news report on how a type of black widow spider has taken up residence in London (and other European cities). Seems the spiders hitched a ride there in the containers of some imported fruit. Apparently the winters are no longer cold enough to kill them off. They showed a man, who happens to search for these things as part of a study, walk to a bridge and point one out that was living quite comfortably, all nestled in the rock-work of the bridge.

Er... Eww. What's that you were saying about intelligent super-beings?

Even more ghastly than the Huntsman spider is the decor shown in the photo. Who puts a wall clock beside a window, like that? And the curtain rod extends out over the clock...?
