You're Good Enough, You're Smart Enough, and Doggone it People Like You

I just logged on to pit Giraffe, but I see there are some new rules…

Giraffe, I think you’re a “terrific” guy. I also think these new pit rules are “fantastic”. The only thing the pit now lacks is smilies of unicorns, butterflies and pretty rainbows…but with a little luck…and a tiny bit of magic, all of our dreams can come true.

Have I told you lately that I love you?

You truly are the wind beneath my wings.

Hugs and kisses to all, but especially to Giraffe :slight_smile:

I…don’t know what to do. Would a sarcastic response playing along with the OP be considered critical of the new rules? It would be embarrassing to get banned from the forum I used to moderate.

How’s this: Enola Gay, you are a poster at this message board.

I think that’s safe.

Reported.

Giraffe, you are a poster at this message board.

Hugs and kisses!

It is your birthday.

Unicorns, rainbows, and butterflies are already played out, in record time.

I guess that I am somewhat confused. What problem are these new rules trying to solve?

Did we get hit with a Care Bear Stare?

Now Giraffe, it’s important not to get caught up in negative thinking. Negative thoughts are like a poison to your brain. But we all fall victim to being a Gloomy Gus from time to time and that’s o-kay. You have to give yourself permission to be HUMAN.

So don’t beat yourself up for silly things like embarassment. You’ve got nothing to fear, but fear itself. Take pride in the fact that you are a good person and doggone it, people like you.

And you know what? You deserve it! :slight_smile:

Hey! Ix-nay on the ules-ray. This thread is about me and nothing else.

For you see, I am a poster at this message board.

:slight_smile: I’ll take the hour of sleep, thx.

I feel happy and gay.

What about sunshine and lollipops? Are those still safe?

Fitter. Happier. More productive.
Comfortable. Not drinking too much.

A patient better driver.
A safer car. Baby smiling in back seat.
Sleeping well, no bad dreams.
No paranoia.

Well then I think the new “you” is stupid and will only have unintended consequences. Whatever happened to one simple you, the you that exclaimed “don’t be a jerk!”?

You s*ck.

Gonna be locked. :frowning:

Ahem, El Cid, I’ll thank you not to use such language in this forum. Perhaps you need to acquaint yourself to the new rules. Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?

And, Giraffe, you just ignore that meanie.

Giraffe is rubber and you are glue. Anything you say bounces off Giraffe and sticks to you.

Now no more stinkin’ thinkin’, o-kay?

Enola Gay’s name is offensive to me. I do not feel that gays should be anywhere near my pits.

HEY!! Don’t throw that word around in a negative tone. It is offensive to the people who really *are *that way. It isn’t their fault they’re born like that, and it isn’t nice to use that word as an insult.

You know which word I’m talking about.

“happy”

How about your elbows? Are you OK with gays near your elbows?
