Is the OP kind of like an internet haiku? Find three random quotes on the the web about a topic and put them together? That is so cool. I want to play. I call mine: Playing a game Playing a game on a disc. Insert the disc, and then select the game from the content area. It is impossible to win most versions of The Game. In fact, they’re even more railroad-like than a game. ---

> [@Dewey\_Finn](#): > > You know, we’re not all in your head, and therefore familiar with whatever tortured logic led you to create an OP. For that reason, it’s helpful to include some context. Still, there is a thread on men, therefore I created a thread for women, did I not explain that above (not in the OP) The final line: You started it…it was because there was the aforementioned thread for men > [@Saint\_Cad](#): > > Is the OP kind of like an internet haiku? Find three random quotes on the the web about a topic and put them together? I did not find 3 quotes on the web. :dubious:😕 Not sure what else could possibly be confusing but I will admit I seldom make sense 😃 ---

In what possible universe it this thread about women? I agree with, ‘we’re not all inside your head’. Maybe next try a little harder to be coherent. ---

This is quite amusing. There is a thread “on men”. Yes. The thread in question basically started with a joke about how a man could not satisfy four women. A self-deprecating joke, if you will. An acknowledgement of men’s limitations. So this thread was started “because there was a thread on men”. In response, we now have a thread that basically uses convoluted language to repeat an insulting stereotype about men; That all they think about is sex and are ruled by their penises. I guess the OP did not actually READ the “thread on men”. Or just wanted an excuse to be insulting. ---

> [@Shodan](#): > > Band name! > > Regards, > Shodan really? I had no idea. I’m from old school, music from the 70’s. I pieced that together with a thesaurus. I’m getting up there and tend to forget words. Lots of times the word I want is on the “tip of my tongue” I was trying to be a smart ass, most intelligent than I really am. Also FYI for everyone. jokes go WAY over my head. Not sure why but it probably has to do with the lack of comprehension ---

You just confirmed that by thinking it’s an actual band name.;)🙂 I think Shodan meant it _would be_ a good band name. Having said that, there actually is, or was, a local band here called The Throbbing Members. ---

But not from lack of blood flow. 🙂 As I said back in post#8, our OP (person not post) tends to post clarity-challenged items. Accept them or ignore them as you will. Debating, correcting, or seeking clarity in the ongoing dialog is IMO demonstrably a fool’s errand. ---

Guess not too many of the fussy members got the message 😛 I’ve decided to admit something to you all; I am an alien from another planet and have not been able to adapt and learn. I have failed my brethren, :smack: therefore I must return to the outer cosmos where my home planet is located and a few others shall replace me soon. Surely they will do better than me/I ;);)😃 ---
