Why are you plumapomophesizing your posts by talking about "draining ink?" Or do you print out everything we post here? if so, I hope you delete out your posts so as not to waste ink.

Oh, and while we're on the subject of your useless posts-- I heartily invite you to feel the dullness of my axe. Any day of the week, mac.

Dullness of your ax? Dullness of YOUR ax?! Humph! Threatening violence? You offend me! And then, if threatening us isn't enough, you mention mac. I suppose you have some to-die-for macaroni and cheese recipe that you're flaunting? You won't share, that much is obvious. What's that offensive noise? Oh, that's me sobbing at the injustice of one Kelly Alves.

Oh Mary, pulling the tears card is very offensive. Woman up and stand in hasenpfeffer's face. It is not the dullness of her axe which is offensive, but the her dullness of wit.

People in glass asylums shouldn't throw the pottery they made in Occupational Therapy around.

(Now see? That was pristine, if I do say do. See what one can accomplish if they put their heart into it?

Pristine? Like you'd know anything about that, wallowing about in your Crazyland like you do. And why would you suggest anyone would throw pottery? It's so lovely, so well-glazed, and you'd do something to break it, Philistine? For shame! Have you no sensitivity to beauty, no responsiveness to humanity's long-cultivated aesthetic sense? You probably have a whole collection of Thomas Kinkade prints hanging up in your house for all to see, don't you?

I see both those comments were directed at me-- what else is new, being a celebrity is so arduous-- so I'll skip over the annoying pettiness and go straight for the malicious libel.

THOMAS KINKADE???!!! I know where you live, punk, I saved that envelope! Take it back or your shot glass collection is history!!

Why are you so up in arms, Bun Hun, about Thomas Kincade? Why after briefly perusing the Wiki article on him, I might nominate him for patron saint of the Ship! May I quote one disgruntled art dealer: "Most of my clients got involved with Kinkade because it was presented as a religious opportunity. Being defrauded is awful enough, but doing it in the name of God is really despicable."

The lot of you are always trotting out "I thought this was a Christian website," tripe. I say the spirit of Kinkade lives! Substitute the words "The Ship" for "Kinkade" in the above quote, and you'll see an apt description of the goings on here. That's why those of us whose virgin ears may become pregnant are duly offended!

I'll have you know, if you are referencing Lewis Carrol and gobbledygook, Jabberwocky is the work you seek. Though, I do have to admit your accusation is correct. And this offends me greatly.

Well namaste to you, horny! Why you've been stalking our lefse slicer in his private moments of one man good time review (and even know he's not ambidextrous) is beside the current point. No, what's really offensive is that you forgot Hunting of the Snark. To ignore a work of world literature by one of England's finest mathematicians and set theoreticians ought to be beneath even you!

Time, I think for a quality moment, and upon whom should the lot fall but upon moi? This thread has now plumbed the depths of intellectual and moral turpitude when we have several posters (you know who you are [Disappointed] ) discussing gobbledeygook through the medium of gobbledeygook. It's bad enough when people talk absolute nonsense without even realising it (pace Bun-buns, Tweetie, Buddsy, duffa, etc.), but I despair for the future of humanity when a formerly august presence on the thread (yes, you, Frigidaire) is dragged down into the lexical mudflats.

Don't you know that the word plumb means the use of lead pipes that carry water? You are effectively advocating lead poisoning. We didn't take lead out of petrol just so that we could damage vulnerable children's precious brains by reintroducing lead to pipes. Are you working for the petrol or the motor industry by any chance?

So you would bankrupt the lead industry simply to protect the filthy little disease vectors known as children? You are thinking it could damage their brains? You have obviously no experience with children, they are patently insane.
Wait a moment, I am rethinking this. Children are clearly unbalanced, but if we make them more so, where would we put them? The Circus needs only so many hosts....

If being mentally unbalanced is the necessary and sufficient qualification for hosting the Circus, then I think you just nominated yourself for Velodrome Marshal #4 there, Skeletor.
Be glad that the job also requires charm, panache, and wit, or at least a tolerance for reading about cricket few mortals possess.

Do keep up, sweetie. And asking whether he is a top-loader or bottom loader is rather rude and personal. We do maintain a level of decorum here after all. Well, some of us do. Well, we should.

Passing over without mention the rampant sexism & ageism of referring to our beloved Kelly as a girl rather than as a Lady of a Certain Age I am appalled that you should ask her to work her attitude - how, pray, does one do that?

Work ON her attitude, work AT her attitude - yes, but work her attitude as if attitude was akin to bread dough that needs working?

Please at least attempt to write in coherent English, this is, after all, purportedly an English speaking board.

Have you not heard, Lucia, of metaphor? Of personification? Are we to write here as though SofF were some dreary technical manual, just because some of you don't get the larger capacity of human language? Plod along on your literalist path, Lucia, if you must. But don't lecture us for refusing to plod along with you.

It's time for a reformulation of Godwin's Law: rather than comparing someone to a Nazi means you've lost the argument, perhaps being a grammar Nazi means you've lost it. Is that the best we can do now, arguing not over the substance, but over nitpicky details that vary from one style guide to another? Is this the old ad homenem tomb whitewashed to make it acceptable to polite society? Is this just a reflection of the fact that grammar is easy, but philosophy and logic are not?

So stuff it up your sandwich hole, Baconator.

Isn't this typical of the modern bureaucratic technocratic mentality? Everything has to be measured and metered. Now it's the turn of offence to have a metric. What's it measured in? Whitehouses? Mails? I shudder to think. I suppose they'll be measuring whimsy next.

Confused again, Dafyd? It may surprise you to learn that Peter Wimsey (note the correct spelling) is a FICTIONAL character. Although he is described as tall, he cannot actually be "measured" in a literal sense. I realize this will be frustrating to a literalist like you.

quote:
What's it measured in? Whitehouses?
As to the White House (a real place whose name is composed of two words, not one)-- this has been measured on numerous occasions, both in metric and in U.S. and British customary units.

My advice to you would be: "Think" more so that the rest of us will have to "shudder" less.

I am shocked and outraged, rhubarb, that you do not observe the simplest and most basic rules of etiquette. The personage of whom you speak may be a fictional character, but he is a titled Lord, and should be spoken of as such. You speak of him as if he were your accountant.

"Stuck in the middle of urban sprawl?" Some of us like city life, the wonder of good architecture, the curves of a city skyline, the history that rises up around you at every turn, the bustle of people coming and going, the evidence of successful industry, the cultural institutions, the rainbow of humans of many ancestries. You would demean such beauty, such liveliness?

--------------------
Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world’s grief. Do justly, now. Love mercy, now. Walk humbly, now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it.

You have the nerve to call yourself a "lakefront liberal" and use an avatar which would have us believe you to be a Bright Young Thing, whilst all the time hankering for the days of whalebone corsets, petticoats and bustles, frills and flounces. Marmoset, some of us are endowed with the sort of statuesque physique which requires no further enhancement or adornment with the posterior padding that appears to be your Magnificent Obsession.

Oh, my ass.

Kelly, I am more than a little upset that, living in an urban area you should keep a donkey - don't you know that these beautiful creatures need fields and grass and open spaces!

I give thanks for unknown blessings already on their way.

This is my favorite part of the game, when 1. someone either actually takes offense, or 2. thinks that someone is actually offended.

Weren't you talking about asses--- sorry, Ahrses--or did I get you all wrong?

Wouldn't be the first time. [Frown]

I don't know how you all put up with me. [Frown] [Frown]

NOBODY LOVES ME! [Waterworks] [Waterworks] [Waterworks]

Oh, Kelly Snookums! I looove you! Except that you're beating me in Scrabble AND "Angry Birds"!! Seriously, it's offensive how you can just waltz right in and start racking up these impossible to beat scores in a game that requires one to shoot birds at grinning green pigs! Oh, the humanity!

So, I love you but yet, I hate you. How intriguing, innit?!

Hunni-bunni, it's a Christian website - we're duty-bound to put up with you - crosses we have to bear and all that. But not only do we put up with you, we love you too. In the words of the cheesy chorus that did the rounds in the 70s ...

I love you with the love of the Lord,
Yes I love you with the love of the Lord.
If it weren't for grace,
I'd punch you in the face
But I love you with the love of the Lord.

[Angel]

You remember songs from the '70s?
Goodness gracious I'd no idea what a greybeard you are. Here I am thinking you are a spotty-faced teen and find you are a spotty-arsed pensioner. I, of course, mean this with all due respect. Or as mum would say, "Let the codger have his moment, he's so few left."

Your mother may have taught you this but she clearly failed to instill any respect into you for the senior members of society. You'll be old yourself one day... (probably - unless the Bunny with the axe gets you first or something)

I am offended you would think this. I was taught to have respect for my elders and I do. For you, I have loads of respect. Loads and loads and loads and...

As long as we're sharing the love...

Lil B I do love your posts, I really do.
I love imagining what a scarred and twisted life you must have led, to make you work it all out on these posts, don't you know?
You can tell by my ever-present smirk, that I'm telling you the truth.

And Kelly, dear Bun, I love you too. We don't have much now, but we'll always have Luther.
