Agreed. It was like Crouching Tiger set in the French countryside with werewolves running around. Fun movie.

YOu guys are right A bored, I mean board, full of Adder and Gattigap would be far more interesting. Bc you guys are deifnitely my favorite posters. Funny, fresh, and just all around enjoyable stuff/ Lots of classic memorable stuff. You should see all the great Addre posts I have saved over the years. I just cannot pick a favorite. You too Gatti.

This latest version is the most accurate yet. Guess what? I am now IMing with the person to whom I earlier e-mailed about your comment, and I mentioned that you chastised me for e-mailing her earlier about your post about her. Of course, you now know what really happened because, as I am writing this, I am not only IMing with that person - I am also exchanging e-mails with you about this. Now, I am IMing the first person about the fact that I just exchanged e-mails with you about this. Of course, you already know this, because I just responded to your e-mail to tell you that. Soon I will be sending you both a fax that will contain the call in number for a conference call we will have about this subject. I am considering discussing this with one or both of you via other communications technologies as well.

While on the topic of Paigow, what's the meaning of your title? Am I missing a cultural ref, i.e., is it from the Big L.?

Otherwise, I see two possible meanings: if you're a self-flagellation cop, you don't want people to abuse themselves (let's put aside any possible sexual meaning to self-flag). Your motivation may be altruistic: that is, life is short, don't beat yourself up (this seems to be your philosophy, probably IRL and not limited to the Board). Or it might be bitchy: don't beat yourself up 'cuz I'll do it for you (this would be in keeping with your Board persona).

Are you just fucking around or do you really save posts from an anonymous chat board and go back and read them sometimes?

Do you ever IM people and say, "Say, I was just reading that old post by [poster's name] about [some topic]. Now THAT was a great post!"

Does anyone else do this?

Some people claimed to have downloaded and saved the post by the nameless ones's wife before FL deleted it.

I save my own posts and have cross-indexed them by both subject matter and poster to whom I was responding. Nothing else on these boards is worth reading.

Well, not specifically, no. But, like others, I keep a rotating "Top Ten" taped to the far wall of my office. When one falls from favor, or becomes illegible due to excessive holes from the darts, then I make sure to move on.

A strict rule is to always ... no, wait. Never. Yeah, never keep any one post up on the wall for more than 18 months. Because, after all, that would be a bit obsessive, don't you think?

PP: "I thought it was obvious. It means, be warned, if you are gonna go around jerking yourself off, I am gonna call you out on it even if you are FBCool. THere are no sacred cows for the paigow."

Sorry, but that meaning is far from obvious. Are you saying that you will police people who appear to you be engaging in verbal masturbation on the Board? While self-flagellation, self-abuse and other like terms make sense when talking about physical masturbation because they poke fun at the notion that self-pleasure is immoral, I would never use such a term for the mental exercise. First, when people are doing that they usually aren't abusing themselves, and second, there's not the same morality issue.

Unless you think mental masturbation is immoral, and then it would make perfect sense.

But, if you are saying that you call people out who are literally jerking themselves off, well that's just rude. And I can't say I recall your ever having done that. I would definitely remember something like that.

OR ... it's just a dig at Slave.

That is an excessive amout of time to take recovering from a tummy tuck. Sounds like your MIL just likes laying around on the couch, which, no doubt, is why she needed the tummy tuck in the first place.

Tell the fattie to get out and jog so she doesn't have to pay to get her ass lipo'ed, too.

Paigow, in case you don't get it, I like to play with words, and don't mind playing dumb or pretending to be overly literal. There's no great mystery in your title. Your point is that it's a little bit of an inside joke. I knew that from the beginning. My point is that as a literal matter it wasn't entirely logical or obvious. I was trying to tease out the inside joke because I haven't been on the Board for a million fucking years.

RP,

a classic lame response to a perceived flame that is too hot for you to touch is to say, I WAS KIDDING, I didnt really not get it or whatever. This consumer isnt buying.

Anyway, I have noticed you have a definite *issue* with not being FBCool. You have repeatedly mentinoed things like, Just bc I dont knw any of you IRL< or just bc I dont hang out with you , etc, and now hear, its, just bc I havent been on the FB a million fuckin gyears. Guess what? I actually PMed you recently, as you know,. to ask if you lived around here and was trying to be personable and friendly. Call me the ambassador, but I was trying to see if you were someone worth getting to know. But your responses were not of the sort that left the door open for further communciation (which made me think that perhaps you were a sock, but I digress). I dont want a board of old timers necessarily, just people who can keep me entertained. Hell, ADder has been here forever and he still has yet to say anything interesting, So newbies are always welcome so long as they add value. I would definitely cash in Adder, AdL, baltassoc and Gattigap for one newbie with TM's entertainment value. So save your FBuncool bitterness for someone it wont be lost on. I am legendarily FBUncool, which by the way, ties into my title as it were.

Oh, and it wasnt an inside joke. I dont even see how it could be construed that way unless you are paranoidally FBuncool, which you clearly are. Now get over it and meet the kiddies for drinks, or just shut the ef up already.

I assumed you were making a joke about Skeelo's use of a few lyrics from Buffalo Springfield's "For What it's Worth" in his song, "I Wish I was a Little Bit Taller."

Skeelo:

Hey you, what's that sound
Everybody look what's goin' down
Ah yes. Ain't that fresh
Now everybody wants to get down like that

Original:

It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's goin' down

Clearly Skeelo "stole" that line. I thought your post was pointing that out. My response asked you how come it's a problem when he does it, but when Elvis and however many other rock musicians who have "stolen" from blues and jazz artists do it, it's okay.

His reference to an actual lyric or sample is presumably an attempt to point out the hypocrisy of those who feel that there is something wrong with or culturally unworthy about a music that routinely incorporates lyrics or musical samples from other songs in the creation of its own music, when in fact some of the music that is supposedly being misappropriated by the hip hoppers through sampling, etc., was music that was arguably misappropriated from black culture in the first place.

Sweetheart, the point of my post was that I thought it was outrageous.

My family is filled with competitive endurance athletes -- cyclists, swimmers, triathletes, and marathoners -- so the idea that someone would have surgery and then sit around for two plus months is alien.

The key, of course, is finding a way to sit around on the couch endlessly without ultimately requiring a tummy tuck.

I have been really successful so far, but suspect it's only because I also really like to swim and hike on the weekends.

Nope, right on it, as was Pilf. I guess I see a difference between copying a genre and pulling out complete verses. (And, if you're going to point out people who have, in fact, stolen complete verses, I'd say "effin' thieves" about them, too. Even remakes drive me crazy.)

Besides, everything is merely a ripoff of the original Icelandic chants. Clapton never did an original riff in his life.

The key to that one is easy - just make sure you stay under the age of 40.

The real key is to find a way to sit around on the couch endlessly without ultimately requiring coronary artery bypass grafting.
