CK, I am shocked to think that you have sunk so low as to flaunt your materialism here. Is not love more than money?

Not to take sides-- OK, I'm taking sides-- but we're not talking about love, we're talking about kisses. I don't know about CK, but my standards are pretty high in that department. So if someone is going to go around claiming their kisses match the gold standard, I want to see about 10-12 letters of reference to back this claim up.

You really do think I'm an idiot, don't you, Alvesy? You demand 10-12 letters of reference and don't think a penguin can count up and realise that the word "reference" actually only has nine letters. How precisely do you expect anyone to fulfil a challenge which simply cannot be done? Hmmmm? Even a double-letter-score doesn't exactly double the number of letters, you know.

Judging us by your failings, dear heart?
Some of us have lives to lead. Some of us were sleeping, resting from our labours.. Some of us have far better things to do than hover over our keyboards. Granted, not many of those on this thread, but some of us.

Another hiatus. I suppose they're asleep in California. Kelly (dearheart? sweety-pie? Nah, you don't have horns) I'm concerned for your blood pressure. I have a repeat prescription for Atenolol 50mg if you're interested.
As for you, three-heads, I'm so upset that you want to give poor Dawn a soaking. Do we know her? Some poor unsuspecting innocent who's stumbled into this den of offence all unawares, I imagine. Shame on you, sir.

Yaknow, Beano, some of us were slaving away over a hot term paper all freaking morning, and just didn't have the time to worry about what nasty, rotten, despicable insinuations the putrid lot of you were making. When I gave it a moment's thought, I just told myself "the usual" and went on with life.
Must I always be here to hold the hand of the collective group consciousness?

Kelly, if you're not going to try harder, I don't see why we should keep going. When this all falls apart because of a lack of Bunny, we're all going to be quite miffed at you, rather than just me.

Is this a Leporidaean conspiracy, AA? You mention the Bunny, then say miffed. And we all know Miffy's avatar is a bunny. Even though she claims to be the ship's elephant... Hmmmm, part of the conspiracy or are all rabbits simply mad? Confusing and therefore even more offensive!

Pond wars are both contemptible and offensive. Usually start with motes and planks and devolve into childish name calling. I thought dignity was called for from people of your advanced age. Erm, experience, advanced experience.
BTW, don't you live in a former colony? One lost when the might of the Empire faced a skinny, bald man in a toga?
Hmmmm. One wonders if you were, rightfully, banished there.

Is that what it was? I couldn't read the second line as the rain had washed some of it off by the time I got back to the car.
And how very dare you? Homing pigeon indeed! At the very least, one expects important messages to be delivered by thoroughbred greyhound.
