Maybe I haven’t read enough BuddhaDog? I find this thread hilarious. Then again that may be because I seem to have taken it in a totally different context. Again, this may be due to my lack of familiarity with the author. I’ll have to read a bit more of his stuff. I saw this thread as: “Who’ll step up and kiss slip’s ass the most (by defending him)?” At least it makes more sense and is a heck of a lot funnier this way. 🙂 ---

I’ll be reading along and _WHOOSH!!_ there goes a flare! _WHOOSH!_ Another one – dang, that one almost took my ear off! I like to use the occasional flare myself – y’know, to illuminate a landing strip, or signal for help from sea, or even to highlight a particularly brilliant post, but if SLIP keeps using so many, somebody’s gonna lose an eye. ---

It’s the standard “you’re a suck-up!” insult that’s been hurled around since grade school. The vast majority of it consists of words that someone else said.

I had a friend who went hiking in Nepal, and he was bitten by the rare Horned Nepalese Spitting Viper, and they had to fly the antidote in by helicopter. He almost died!” I also have to say that suggesting that someone use an _Internet search engine_ as a good way to just get the facts and avoid B.S. and anecdotal evidence is about like saying someone who is terrified of heights should go hiking in Nepal for a nice restful vacation. ---
