Welcome aboard, newber! As I'm sure you will soon see, this place is much like a cocktail party, albeit a cocktail party that lasts several years with exactly the same guests (most of whom are turn-your-face-away-in-horror drunk) and exactly the same conversations (which comfortingly occur in a prescribed order). Anyhoo, my point being that, as with any cocktail party, it is best to mingle a bit and listen in on the conversations before jumping in with your own contributions. It is no coincidence that some of the most popular and successful first-time posters have also been long-time lurkers.

With respect to your camouflage comment . . . well, you caught me! I am forced to admit that camouflage does indeed have as at least one of its purposes the camouflage function. Although that is not actually how it got its name . . . .
Well, thanks for the welcome, though I should point out that wasn't my first post. You & I just haven't crossed paths before. Curiously enough, though, the fact of you has led to certain accusations of me, but I won't hold it against you.

But uh, isn't "camouflage" from camoufler? Or am I not going back far enough?

Nor will it be when wonk puts his hand on the small of your back and then slowly but deliberately lets it drop so that he's firmly clutching a handful of your clean ass, but that's the kind of party it is.

I second this nugget of wisdom from the most esteemed elder, and can only add this little caveat:

If you give a shit.

And if you indeed do give a shit about your performance on a chat board, I welcome you to stop wavering right now... Walk straight over to that WalMart, buy the .44 and place a softball sized hole in your head.

It's funny when you joke about offing yourself, because we know you just don't give a fuck. But to suggest that PLF should give up the only thing in his barren, spent and joyless life that still gives him a fleeting memory of pleasure and shoot himself in the head is just irresponsible and dangerous.

You should see my appellate briefs. If I have sufficient time to edit, I've been able to force judges to try 8 or 9 times to figure out what I'm arguing.

The drafting sucked, but I thought I was clear and that's all that matters. Camo is one type of battle gear, and a soldier likely is told which type of battle gear to wear given the circumstances. If he wants to pretty-up, he can wear dress uniform, but that's not happening in the field. If he's getting really, PLF-style fancy, he can wear mess dress, also not for the field. And, he means he/she here.

Objectively speaking, of course. Determinations of what exactly is "the lowest moment" in reality tv are different for different people.

I Had A Dream
 
Ok, last night after walking my dog and listening to my iPod on "shuffle songs", I fell asleep and had a dream. The soundtrack to my dream was a song I hadn't heard in ages -- 21 Gun Salute by Soulcracker (VH1's Bands on the Run). -- It starts with the line "Relive the good times/cling to the past/with a 21 gun salute/and a flag flown at half mast/I can't take away the memory of the one that you loved last/But I can turn this picture into ash"

Anyways, during the dream, I was competing in a bass fishing tournament. But I didn't have a good rod and reel. All I had was a hose with a fish hook on the end. I was way behind and about to give up, when suddenly I felt that I had the bass-fishing equivalent of the golden snitch on my line. I pulled it up, and it was the size and appearance of my beloved dachsund/pappillon. I wrestled with it, and it bit me, and I tried to choke it, but then decided that I was being stupid, and let it go.

The next morning, I resumed listening to my shuffle mix while walking my dog, and the second song that came up (I did not reshuffle) was 21 Gun Salute by Soulcracker. Note that I have over 7000 songs on my iPod.

So Joseph, what do you make of this dream?

True. I wasn't trying to be objective. Here's a great line from the show though (whited out to protect those who wish not to be spoiled - literally or figuratively):

Steven Hill told her, “Trish, you do realize you’re that no longer the bitch from The Bachelor. You’re the girl who was shit on.”

Realityblurred apparently has a good recap.

Mr. Bill (I can't write that fuckin' name) did post something useful today. I had no idea PLF was considered an expert in the derivation of French and English words. Does that go along with the dry wit, or does it necessarily accompany the aging hipster bitterness?

Or is Mr. Bill confusing PLF with Ask Jeeves, or some sort of HAL or Oracle of the boards?
