> [@Argent\_Towers](#): > > You never clicked my user profile? There’s a picture of me in it. I’m kind of flattered that on the basis of my writing alone I would be considered a grizzled middle-aged guy if the alternative is a young and immature guy. To be perfectly honest I always pictured you in camouflage with a gun strapped to your back. I’m very symbolic that way. Nobody ever looks like I think they would. ---

YOU look pretty much exactly like what I imagined, which is…pretty good. Damn, I seem to have really typecast myself with all the gun stuff. I am going to have to refrain from anything gun related for a while so the next generation of SDMB members doesn’t grow up with the picture of me you described. ---

I’ve been in serious need of a blushing smiley lately. That’s okay, it could be worse. You could typecast yourself as a total neurotic fruitcake instead. We all typecast ourselves. It’s unavoidable. Night, night, kiddo. ---

OK – AT is a runny-nosed little rugrat barely as old as the socks I’m wearing. And you can trust me on that – I really am a grizzled middle-aged guy. 😃 ---

Hey, now, let’s not get crazy. You have to earn “curmudgeon,” you know. He probably doesn’t even have a lawn yet. ---

Oh man, Argent Towers, sorry I am late! I knew about the Pitting a few days ago and just got busy. No excuse, I meant to be here sooner but I stopped at the bakery to get pie. You are one of the most reasonable posters here. You don’t send the direction of the talk into the gutter by saying fuck or cunt or any of the other words that are used only to distract from the discussion. Cussing is a good way to get people to stop listening to you, and you don’t play that game. Sometimes I will post in a thread that just disolves into the same old territories, same old borders. But you have passion for ideals and will keep going while I will just let it fade away into a fight that can’t be won. But you try, and I appreciate that. It is a waste of time, but it is your time to waste. Not much else to say. It was an apple pie I bought for this pit party, but it is all gone now. If you could warn me a few days in advance of your next Pitting I could UPS you a beer or two. Again, congratulations on your Pitting. ---
