If you honestly don't see a difference between an ethnic slur that is often used as or in conjunction with a death threat, and a reference to a Kevin Bacon "Flashdance" ripoff, I really can't help you. But I hope someone does.

Me, I'm sticking to fashion from now on. Anyone else amused by the return of 80s-style grommets on clothing?

I think I'll have to go home and smoke a j. Dude, have you noticed that you are the only one still fighting?

Nope, there are plenty of others offering their jabs. But thats OK.

TM, bc I did you the honor of editing your long ass post to the relevant part, I would like to know who is currently on your ignore list. I thiink mine is empty at the moment but I may have to go refill it.

Fuck you. That is such fucking bullshit I don't even think you believe it. You were probably offended, yez. But you weren't drawing attention to the issue. You were pissed and wanted to hit him where it hurt.

If you wanted to simply draw attention to the issue, you would have replied to him with: "I do go to Church - once a month - and do have some religious beliefs. However, I am quite annoyed by the commonly held opinion that anybody who does go to church or suggests the usage of a pastor is in the same class as a the ultra-Rightists mentioned above. I don't like them, and do not appreciate being lumped together with them. JJLC's comments and everybody else's tacit acceptance of it underscores the prevalence of the issue."

Count me in, because I feel like the must be some tear in the space time continuum. We start with earnest, sympathetic advice to some dude with relationship problems, which transforms into a wave of unsympathetic scornful advice, and then irreverent non-advice, and then offensive retorts, then collective outrage over the offensive retorts, with the exception of those who are outraged by the PC hypocrisy of the earlier collective outrage, combined with half-assed apologies by the offensive retorter. And I'm thinking to myself, there is no fucking way this is all actually happening AGAIN. Somehow, God is punishing me by making me live my most banal and boring past over and over again. Will somebody at least give me a frame of reference? Are we drinking Mojitos yet, or are we still stuck on those fucking awful Appletinis? Have we made it to Infirmation yet, or are we still sucking in Yahoo?

notcasesensitive: I think I'll have to go home and smoke a j.

PLF: Stuff about how God forces him to read this board, which as a Christian I know should offend me but for some reason doesn't.

Me: And here I was just wondering who this dude A.J. was and whether notcasesensitive was about to add him to her number or whether only A.J. would add her to his.

edited to properly spell "whether" so as to not further confuse Paigow re her "I'd like to be..." statement.

I probably wouldn't have commented on the stuff at all, until the jumping-on seemed sort of unfair. I probably go too far in trying to see someone else's viewpoint, whereas you probably don't go far enough. Somewhere in the middle is the smart person who just stays completely out of this whole conversation. That person must be found and killed lest all internet conversation ceases.

So THAT'S what causes the throbbing headaches. I thought it was failure to wear my tinfoil hat.

I didn't participate, and I have no headache. I win!

Bilmore, you're a kneejerk anti-PCer. It's nice to see you lower yourself to the same level as people you profess to despise.

Note to Self
 

So, I was thinking about posting about my weekend of ridiculous debauchery, which included falling head over heels for a woman of a particular profession (no, not THAT profession), which is kind of strange because it's not like I've never indulged in that sort of recreational activity before, but never have I ended up so obsessed, but perhaps this time the difference was the particular, um, shall we say, body chemistry I had going on, but nonetheless I'm still feeling pretty obsessed, and I turned down a semi-clear invitation to request/offer a phone number, because after all there's the whole wife-and-kid thing to consider, but the wife-and-kid thing has had its issues and maybe I should take a chance at a little adventure, but probably it's a horribly bad idea, but just what does someone do when the obsession and intrigue won't fade, and it's really all making me pretty useless at this "job" thing......

But I've thought better of the whole thing. Because all it's gonna do is lead to a bunch of meta-meta-meta posts on the right and wrong ways to respond to a little moronic Christian-baiting. Or some such crap. At this point, if Dealtoy is still lstening, all's I can say is "sorry, dude. But having another kid would clearly be a mistake."

After TM's helpful pointers, I'm sure AJ would enjoy it, so likely under the Big O rule, he would have to add me to his number. My SO would flat out kill me (his name is not AJ, for those of you who were wondering), so at that point my number would be irrelevant. Unless someone wanted to put it on my tombstone.


Edited to clarify that TM's helpful pointers all took a written format. I have never received one-on-one training from that man!

Hmmm. I can't deal with you in any week. Perhaps there is something to having one of these ignore lists after all.

That can't be right. Fufu can't be the smartest person on this board and she would have never commented on this. She would have said something like, "Oh, PJ, you're my SP and I'm so totally LOLing right now that I can't even pet my kitty." (And no, she wouldn't be talking about that kitty, because if she was, she wouldn't be banished to her very own land.)

Well, you've given us a new board motto, if nothing else.

That white-hot chemistry fades, though it's a lovely ride while it lasts.

Edited to add: the new board motto:
"where meta goes to die"

Fucking French agitators.

Of course, it was pretty irrelevant to the results. unlike those damn trucker strikes.

I was more annoyed by the oppressed performance artists who blocked the Tour in that earlier stage actually. But I admire the French cops' sense of reserve. If these whiners pulled that crap at a sporting event in this country, they'd be beaten senseless with clubs and tear-gassed.

Ergo, I shoulda taken the invitation, since the sinning was already done.

It's just not a big deal. I am glad they chose to protest on a long straight road so there were no accidents.

Nice entrance - and sock ID.

Tour d F
 

I saw somewhere where the race officials didn't stop the elapsed time for the riders stopped by the protest until it cleared, calling it a "normal race event" or something like that... Seems pretty unfair to me.

Main difference between Tour de France and a hypothetical "Tour de Chicago" = It would never reach the level of a "normal race event" here because the assorted yahoos blocking the course would be introduced to "Monsieur Nightstick"... NTTAWWT

Sucking up to a sock will not vindicate you, Ebola. I suggest you stop posting for awhile until you think everyone has forgotten.

Tour d F
 

We may get a chance to find out. The Tour is considering starting in the US (NY, DC) for a few days as they do with some European countries in 2005 or 2006.

Tour d F
 

How could they call it a "normal race event?" What the fuck, we aren't talking potholes or cows in the road -- these are people intentionally interfering with the race. I know that the logistics of "making it right" might be tough but how in the hell could they allow these asspatches to hold up the race for so long? Fuckers.

BTW, the HRD was fantabulous (even without Bonds). I now heart Pujols.

edited to note that if my CEO had not interrupted me with a conversation about fucking work just as I was finishing my response I would have beaten everyone to the punch but now I am just one of the crowd.
