Recently, I blew up at Tubadiva for her thinking a joke (or attempt at one at any rate) that I made was really a dig at her. It was not a dig at her (and I think that she reaizes this by now), but I should not have blown up at her when she thought it was and responded in kind. She is not a mind reader, and for me to blow up at her when she was just responding to what she felt was a diss was not very cool of me, and I am sorry. In addition, I also accussed her of picking a thread for _Threadspotting_ that was personally painful to me, when in fact, it was Ed Zotti who made this choice. That makes a lot more sense because Tubadiva knows what went on with my former girlfriend who was the subject of that thread, whereas Ed - who is not all over the boards as much as his modertors - would not know this. So, I also wish to extend an apology for this as well. * * * Yer pal, Satan [sub]I HAVE BEEN SMOKE-FREE FOR: Four months, two days, 18 hours, 36 minutes and 17 seconds. 4991 cigarettes not smoked, saving $623.88.

Somehow it makes him seem less evil. [Not that there’s anyting wrong with that.] ---

I disagree… it kind of enhances his evilness. Just like James Bond was made all the cooler by his rather-plain name (he coulda been called Lance Thunder or something), the “average-Joe” feeling of “Brian” works in Satan’s favor. Speaking of Satan… anyone see that episode of Drew Carrey with The Devil? ---

SPOOFE, That episode of Drew Carey was on our local FOX Station last night. Weird. BTW Satan – you’re a pretty cool dude for your public apology. You never cease to amaze me, no really. ---

> [@](#): > > That episode of Drew Carey was on our local FOX Station last night. Yeah, same here, which was why it was on my mind. And, Satan, I second that “you’re a pretty cool dude” thing 😃 ---

Jesus. :rolleyes: The guy screws up, apologizes for it, and ends up having people clamor over each other about how cool he is. Go to Hell, **Satan**. ---

Satan and I have no problems between us now and let’s not complicate matters further. I’m closing this thread. your humble TubaDiva Administrator
