I’m a rightie (actually centrist) cat-lovin’ bastard, and I got guns, too! Abuse of my politicians, I’ll tolerate-but hurting my fuzzy four-footed-brethren is an indignity I’ll not ignore. 
Well, the roar ain’t too impressive, but Dudette! I didn’t know Eddy, Teddy and Freddy were THOSE kinds of cats.
Peace, Sistuh. I didn’t mean no harm, ya’ know. Just a good ol’ boy havin’ a little fun. Yep, that’s all it was, just havin’ a little Sunday afternoon fun. No ill-will or nothin’ like that intended. You unnerstan, right?
You do keep ‘em chained right? Or at least inside, so innocent folk don’t become cat food? And hey: That dude that’s got the deer; rent him out at huntin’ season? There’d be a market for his skills in these parts.
danceswithcats, check out ETF’s cats. They’ll bring a whole new level of excitement to your dancin’.
I couldn’t possibly care less about the thread in question. It just appeared to me as if you’d gone all '76 Ford Pinto on DMark after he asked a basically innocent question. I certainly didn’t see anything about oppression or overlords.
Ogre, come over here for a minute. There’s been a misunderstanding and we need to talk.
See, that was all said with tongue tucked firmly in cheek. There’s been a lot of pissing and moaning lately about moderator prejudice toward one side of the political spectrum or other. You know, that we make moderator decisions based on whether we agree with what’s been said.
That’s 1. sour grapes and 2. deeply stupid because it’s flat-out not true, and never has been. See, I was accused of acting dishonorably. I don’t close threads based on whether or not I agree with political viewpoints in them.
It was mockery, see? That’s why I tossed in the villainous, “Curses! Foiled again!”. Can’t be a self-respecting evil, low life thug without it.

And you have to say it like you mean it.
I’m a Boston Yankee and I’ve got guns too. AND as anyone who has read some of my posts will realize, I’m somewhat liberal.
Firearms … no longer just for Rednecks.
So, TVeblen admits he is part of THE Conspiracy™ ?
You see? The moderators are doing the bidding of the Illuminati and the Tri-Lateral Commission in their efforts to suppress the truth about the JFK Assassination, Area 51, Roswell, the Philadelphia Experiment and that third word that ends in ‘gry’.
Try your best TVeblen, but you can’t suppress the truth forever.
BWA-HA-HA !!!
Actually I’m a she. That’s part of the conspiracy too.
Yeh, Veb is a woman – ALL woman, and don’t even think of trying to mess with her. She’s one tough broad!
Is that Giraffe’s tongue that she is standing over?
TVeblen
Sorry for the incorrect gender reference. :o
I usually look up people’s profiles, but yours isn’t filled in at all.
Of course there is no place to indicate gender but sometimes there’s a clue somewhere in there.
Oh well, sorry.
No apologies needed or deserved, wolf_meister. How in the world would you know? The real Thorstein Veblen was male–eccentric to the point of batshit crazy, besides being a minor genius–but definitely not even a crossdresser. It’s a completely reasonable assumption.
If Veblen didn’t happen to be dead at the moment, he’d doubtlessly be horrified to be pictured as that sword-bearing Amazon with the fur codpiece straddling Giraffe’s tongue. If I were a finer person I wouldn’t be amused by that either.
Oh well.
How fast is your connection, EFT? How do you find all these links so quickly. Got five 'puters going at once or something?
And, yeah, that’s exactly how I’ve always pictured VEB.
Or ETF, even. Once again, dyslexia heads its ugly rear.
Google is your friend. Especially when you finally make the switch from IE to Firefox and have the handy-dandy Google box right there in the URL band. Doesn’t hurt to be a proofreader who needs to check all sorts of stuff online all the time, either – that will hone one’s keywordsmithing skills.
Actually, that must have been a winter pic of our Veb the Valorous – I tend to think her usual attire is more like this. Although I suppose when she wants to get dolled up for a night of pub-crawling and buffoon-brawling, she might choose a more feminine outfit. Then there’s her formal attire…
So I’ve been whooshed? How embarrassing. Sorry, I’ll, uh, be over here eating paint chips.
John Carter of Mars - you wanted to know how TVeblen can “find all these links so quickly ?”
Haven’t you realized by now? She’s a moderator and part of THE Conspiracy™. She’s part of the New World Order intent on subjugating and conquering all the world’s citizens. She has access to all the world’s information databanks and can easily look up anything.
So, when the Tri-Lateral Commission comes knocking on your door, don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Oh and TVeblen. even though you closed down the “Bush Bashers Anonymous” thread, I still can refer to George “Dubya” Bush as President Poopy Pants if I want to.
Heck, the SDMB is well-known for its mature political discussions isn’t it? 
Os opposed to keywordsmiting, which is what Veb does.
I quite agree. Except that I’d like to be able to administer a LARGE shock, too. We get spammers, you know.
