> [@Luciano700](#): > > I am basically acting if all of this beef in this thread is like strength to make my fists harder in a more literal sense. Huh? Now I really don’t get it. You’re saying that you need to eat beef? And that’s what will “make my fists harder”? You do know that’s not how the human body works, right (or did some out-of-work personal trainer tell you that)? And you need to get harder to… what? Fight the people who respond to you online? Or just us in this thread? I must have this wrong. I’m sincerely lost here… who do you need to get hard for? ---

I thought the term was “knuckle sandwich”? Although I think that would violate board rules if that’s what you meant. 😉 ---

Mm > [@Guinastasia](#): > > I thought the term was “knuckle sandwich”? Although I think that would violate board rules if that’s what you meant. 😉 There we go. Cause your skin is basically meat. I am just trying to say failure makes a person stronger using figurative language. ---

Well one thing is for sure: all those teaspoons didn’t just walk away by themselves. I wonder if a Big Teaspoon cartel is behind this. ---

> [@Luciano700](#): > > {…} Cause your skin is basically meat. {…} Uhhh, no. Skin is skin, meat is muscle. Now there are really only two responses to this; “Oh, I didn’t know that, learned something new again.” or “_Another stupid non sequitur_.” Which will our boy choose? Choose wisely! CMC fnord! I always expect to be disappointed . . . so I rarely am. ---

Well, Art is Art, isn’t it? Still, on the other hand, water is water. And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now you tell me what you know. ---

I just noticed this: if you take the letters in **Luciano700** and remove some and then replace few, mix them well and you will get: **rtoll adn idiod**. Coincidence? I don’t think so. ---
