Look, I don’t do crude posting, that’s just not me. And I don’t speak boorish on the internet—not with you around and your fluency in the language.

Careful, you're beginning to sound like you think your principles and morals are better than someone else's.

But you do a grand job at boring.

Gee I’m so sorry my posts don’t hold your interest. I promise I’ll try to do better in the future.

Tell you what, I’ll study your posts of minivans and vintage tub washers and endeavor to emulate those scintillating topics.

Oh, and I’ll be certain to insert them endlessly within a political discussion. I’m sure our members just can’t get enough of that.

Well, I’m here if you need me, professor. Be sure and come back. Maybe next time you’ll prove to me you’re not as big a jerk as you seem to be.

I'm kinda with you there.  I think there is a chat room or lounge if people get bored with the actual topic.

Conversations wander.  It's what they do.  I wouldn't dream of trying to stop that, I don't even think it's possible.

I don't think it's necessary or good to try to control that.  The ebb and flow of conversations are what make a lot of these threads interesting and fun.  There's probably a point at which a mod needs to step in and bring it back (and they do), but for the most part that's the kind of thing that makes this forum freer than most.

I do find it amusing, however when people gripe about one opinion on a topic that they disagree with, but keep coming to threads where that topic is being discussed.  A little self-discipline is in order.

And then there are those who come here and seem to absolutely hate the place and the majority of its posters.

I find that very odd, and a touch masochistic.  It's not that you can't find any place else to post on the interweb if you hate it here.

Just weird.
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

I'll post where I want and what I want. Know why? Because I don't care. This place has degenerated into nonstop fighting over the stupidest shit. Worthless, pointless meaningless arguments that go on for 10-15 pages on one thread per day. These are fights between anonymous people who don't even know who the hell each other are. Real productive. If everyone in this forum were at a Denny's for a 50% off Grand Slam special, no one would know that each other is a vindictive pr*ck to each other for no reason. How special is that?

While I'm at it, what the hell happened to you Emjay? You used of be one of the nicest friendliest posters here. Now you are in on the Blood Sport fights that never end until the damn thread is locked because it is such a train wreck.

BTW, you guys should send a GD thank you card to us folks who hijack the Fight Club threads for cooling them the eff down from their Code Red nuclear status.

Enough of that unimportant crap.  I want your opinion of Pecan Pie.  How is it pronounced?  How does it taste?  Do you like it?   :tongue2:

Thank you, Frank.  Except for the 'used to be.'  I've always liked you and you always make me laugh

I think the truth is I don't like your girlfriends.  Maybe I'm just jealous.

I don't like Pecan Pie.  Little known fact, the pecan originated in the Lake Baikal region of Russia.  It is theorized that when Yermak Timofeevich sailed to the new world a black-billed Capercaillie was an accidental stow away.  When Yermak landed in what we now call Georgia, the Capercaillie (which incidentally the crew nick-named Willie) was finally able to find a nice piece of dry land to poop, and quite by accident started the first pecan grove in Georgia.  So, being of Russian origina I'm pretty sure the correct pronunciation is Piss-Off Pie.

   @Frank Cannon  is right, particularly on his last FART, Humour is a very, very important component of this Forum, IMHO  and is used in many ways. Anytime Briefers want to get back on Topic, US more wittier members are not stopping you.

Reminds me of the pie Minny made for Hilly in "The Help."  ^-^

btw, back on topic............. MERRY CHRISTMAS RoosGirl!!

I shall return that sentiment sometime *after* Halloween.  In the meantime, would you like a piece of Piss-Off pie?

I actually like the movie a lot.  (Some here may differ).

But if you only watch one scene, watch Minny bring a 'special' pie to Hilly, and you'll know what I'm talking about.

So, being of Russian origin I'm pretty sure the correct pronunciation is Piss-Off Pie.
