I rather fear we have crossed a line here, duffa. Drawing our attention to Buddsy's "scarred and twisted life" (sick) is hardly conducive to edification, moral or otherwise. Definitely a case of "Don't even go there". As for what you may or may not have had with Bun-buns, well that is definitely a chapter of "Floppsy Bunny" that is best left unopened. Bring me the brain bleach now.

And how do you think poor Luther feels being shuttled back and forth between the two of you? Take care to not use him as your post tryst pawn.
There, there, Luther. Whose the good little Reformationist?
ETA: It is sic not sick when clarifying that you are merely repeating how something was written. And it is to appear within the quotes. Unless you were attempting to use the adjective sick. either way, a grammatical nightmare. Do try harder, võileib poiss.*

I'm still trying to fathom the significance of lilBuddha's pathetic attempt to impress us by punning in Estonian.
So, while I mull a proper Urgo-Finnish rejoinder, let me tell you all (in English) what really offends me about this thread -- i.e., the frequent use of patronizing, puerile, dim-witted, and demeaning nicknames for fellow Ship Mates.
I mean such terms as ... Hunni-bunni, Bun Hun, lefsy-boy, Tweetie, duffa, Buddsy, Buddhette, Sweetie, and two particularly sophomoric examples which have been used to insult me personally: rhubarb and Dude/ette.
I do get that these are attempts to be humorous. But isn't one of the key requirements for humor (among educated adults at least) that it actually be funny?

Unbelievable that you would raise the movie "Urgo" and decide that somehow the Finns were in on it, and worse misspell it. It is "Argo' and it was actually and truly a Canadian caper, which they turned into an American thing, and then you suggest Fins also were involved in this. How could you?!

In 44 hours and 61 minutes, this is all you managed?
Clearly you need a higher quality filling between your obviously stale bread. Ditch the iceberg for romaine, for a start; perhaps a tomato from the garden, instead of that Tesco bland thing you are using. And your bacon is obviously rancid, lending you the bitter disposition.
John Montague is turning in his grave, whilst not the most eloquent orator, he could well make his point.
But then, 'tis true, you have picked a lesser variety of his namesake as your standard. One that, in its best form, is lackluster and forgettable. Though, truly, you would need to improve tenfold to achieve even that.

Buddster, some of us have real lives to deal with and don't spend all of our time in our underwear glued to the computer monitor surrounded by empty pizza bozes, crushed lager cans and overflowing ashtrays. I find it quite touching that I am now being cyberstalked and at least one reader of these boards is hanging on my every word, and even counting the minutes before I post again.

There is no need to call attention to poor poor Ariston's neediness. I understand that the dear boy is an attention whore, but pampering to that deep need within him is undoing months of therapy which we have been funding in a valiant effort to help him see past the fact that he has no friends and focus on the things he does have instead (like incredibly clean washing).

Dear boy?
Are you colluding with his delusions again? Surely all by now know that he is really a wizened old man, a relic of the worst of the 60s, when he was already middle-aged, now living in a drug fuelled fantasy world. We have been trying to help him back to reality whilst you, in your unthinkingness, are merely making matters worse.

Weasel, this is a family website, one that's suitable for families. And families cannot be exposed to drug references. Next thing you know, the wee ones will be researching the family Cannabicidae, trying to work out the connections between the various genera of the rosid superfamily, then, before long, you've got a budding botanist on your hands. Do you know what the job prospects for people with doctorates in botany are these days? They're shit, just like everyone else's job prospects! Mustelid you may be, scent glands you may have, but, even for you, encouraging unemployment, overeducation, and attempts at spontaneous human photosynthesis Just Plain Stinks.

You should get him going about Armadillidiidae.
Also, if you are going to ask what the world is coming to, you could at least try to provide an answer. The rest of us don't like to be left dangling like that.

Buddsy and Bun-buns, why is it that when the two of you meet on this thread, it automatically degenerates into a plethora of soi-disant "smart" one-liners? Could it be that you will both ignore the underlying philosophy of the game and post any old tosh in a vain attempt to attract attention to yourselves? It's clear to anyone with the merest smidgeon of perspicacity that your threadbare attempts at humour are intended to draw attention away from the one person on the thread whose posts are eagerly awaited, stopwatch in hand ...

Well, someone's got to break the embarrassed silence, so it might as well be me. I am offended at all of you for not immediately rushing in to validate our beloved Frigidaire in his need for affirmation. We should all be helping him to shore up his obviously crumbling self-esteem, even at the risk of reinforcing his delusions of competence. Where is your sense of social duty ... have none of you heard of care in the community?

And I should have known that that person would be you, Mr. Lansker. So much for the efficacy of my prayers for you to shut up for a while. I confess to having had fantasies of you joining the Trappists and taking their vow of silence, which your confessor wisely expanded to include typing on the internet. But this was not to be. Offended, I am, of course. But sad and disappointed as well. May I suggest sign language -- the Trappists, I believe, have an excellent version -- as an alternative to posting here?

BlT's very existence is offencive, yes. You missed his most recent offence, though in his defending the Appliance. Just recently in a beer thread, the refrigerator admits to liking Corona! Corona was never produced by Mexico for their own consumption, but as revenge for the United States' Invasion of Mexico. Proof positive it is not fit for drinking is that Anheiser felt it fit in their portfolio.

Pimple pops up from nowhere and erupts all over the otherwise clear thread and you must call attention. He pustulates the impropriety of our dear gaffer which is intolerable. Well, WW is fairly intolerable himself, but he cannot help being senile, decrepit and mouldy. And at his age needing to worry about a pimple! I am sure he has enough oozings and growths to occupy what is left of his mind.

Must you go on and on about trajectories of boiling pus shooting out of pimples? Are you attempting to regale us with your knowledge of dermatological flora?

How hideously offensive that you would attempt product placement on a pure and unsullied forum like this. Did you seriously think you'd get away with referring to your quote:

without being called to task. And Dell? Not only does it rhyme with a bad place none of us would want to be called, but it ranked only 12th in a list of ethical laptop choices I hastily Googled. How could you sell out like this?

Alicia, I am appalled by your insensitivity. Surely you are familiar with Polymaths Disease, There are indeed people genetically formed so as to have encyclopedias in their brains. The effect of this is a never-ending cacophony of meaningless but highly detailed information. Combined with the inability to self-edit, this leads to constant spewing forth of said information in every possible situation, ruining relationships and usually resulting in social isolation, destitution and despair.
It is clear that Lucia is one of those rare victims of Polymaths Disease. Please, Alicia, have some compassion. This is, after all, a "Christian" discussion board. Amen.

You seem to assuming that the lack of responses on the thread indicates an unwillingness to forgive Roybart when nothing could be further from the truth. The posters on this thread are actually a compassionate bunch, if a little easily offended which probably can't be helped in these circumstances.
People do have sensitivities you know and we're all really busy with the run up to Christmas it's only to be expected that we are busy elsewhere.
Quite frankly I am deeply offended by your suggestion that I should stop my christmas shopping immediately and apologise to Roybart - who has quite clearly misunderstood my intentions but since it is Christmas just this once I will say that I forgive Roybart for offending me and if we are being honest here, he has probably offended everyone on this thread including yourself but we're all grown ups here, perhaps given time we can move on and possibly learn from the experience.

Are you really suggesting that we cannot take time out of our hectic schedules to show the milk of human kindness to a fellow human being in their time of desolation and despair? Shame on you! That may be your attitude, putting secular fulfilment before spiritual, but do not suppose we are all of the same ilk. My ilk is quite different.

Your ilk is quite different, is it? You, who have waited until after Christmas to propose charity in the midst of chaos. As the most challenging period of the year has elapsed, your suggestions are now theoretical, you cannot be held to them, and they will be forgotten by next December.

I am appalled that you should even suggest that my memory is so poor that I will have forgotten...
...
er.... hold on a minute. What was it you were suggesting I would have forgotten by next Christmas?
Not, of course, that Christmas is actually over yet. Do you not understand the concept of twelve?
