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.
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.
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.
Fitter. Happier. More productive.
Comfortable. Not drinking too much.
Regular exercise at the gym three days a week.
Getting on better with your associate employee contemporaries.
At ease, eating well. No more microwave dinners and saturated fats.
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!”?
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.
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.
