whoosh.
Cranky (more formally, CrankyAsAnOldMan) is female (and married, too, if memory serves. Coldfire, possessor of the penis extroidinaire (or so I’ve been told) is male.
The pig squeeled!
Well thank MOST people for understanding. And thank hateful posters (LolaCocaCola and the other one who’s name immediately escaped me) for being in the minority (of 2).
I say again - I apologise if it crashed people’s browsers. And Lola - fuck off back to 1940s germany.
You mean this was a poll? I’m sorry I didn’t vote in that case…
The thread was juvenile. If you are bored, go away and don’t bore the rest of us.
Keep your balls in your pants, yojimbo. I locked the thread.
And another thing, you can’t count for shit either.
A lot more than that.
Yeah. You forgot to thank the Academy and all the little people.
Just read Zenster’s and Lobsang’s threads.
Y’all are very talented. I’m impressed. I tried to create a lovely flower for Roadwalker’s daughter (God rest her little soul), but it looked horrible. I should just leave it to the pros.
L-
Well, Lobsang’s ‘Bored’ thread caused my browser to seize up for a good while as it downloaded, and again for most of a minute when I closed that thread’s window. It was 275K in size, which is pretty big by the standards of SDMB threads.
It would have been one thing if he had paid attention to Francesca’s advisory, but he ran that warning, and made subsequent posts even more smiley-heavy. What a jackass.
I’m with Coldfire all the way on this one; in fact, I think he was being temperate - more so than I would have been. He didn’t delete the thread, and he gave out no ‘do that again and you’re banned’ warnings; he just closed the thread before it got intolerably big.
If that’s “1940s germany” then somebody has a problem of perspective. “Help, help, I’m being repressed! Come see the violence inherent in the system!” Whiner.
Yeah that comment was way out of line, no matter how it was intended. You would have been much better off letting the issue go.
There is not much support for your position here. Say sorry, won’t happen again and let it go (IMHO). Your choice, but how do you want to be regarded around here?
I concur entirely with RTF.
Two quick comments on unintentional ironies in this thread:
[ul]
[li]Smiley Death as a contributor here ;)[/li][li]The total and unmitigated gall of accusing Coldfire of behavior from “1940s germany” – would somebody kindly resurrect his “we will remember” thread for the benefit of Mr. Rampa?[/li][/ul]
closed “list” tag - UB
I didn’t realize Coldfire was from Holland. That explains an awful lot. I once had a Dutch woman living upstairs from me, and even though she was young and hip looking (you would have thought she was a cool person if you didn’t know better), she was the most uptight grouch I had ever laid eyes on. She had no sense of humor and she was a constant complainer. She drove the poor guy who lived with her to drink (literally). And she had a friend staying with her once who – at a building party, no less – started psychoanalyzing people to their face. People he had known for five minutes or less. (He was Dutch, too). He was a psychology student, and didn’t find it rude at all to use anyone he met as a subject. She didn’t see anything wrong with that and even defended his behavior (wtf). Apparently in Holland this is normal. We used to make fun of the Dutch Woman, saying she has a windmill up her ass and such. She is back in Holland now.
Coldfire, if you ever come across a very skinny, humorless, thirtyish woman who reeks of booze and doesn’t mind her own business (would she stand out, or is this normal behavior for the Dutch?), ask her if her name is Florine. If she answers in the affirmative, tell her her downstairs neighbor from when she lived in New York said “hi”, willya? That’s all you’ll have to say.
BTW, thanks for your e-mail from the other day, Coldfire. For days, I have puzzled over who exactly your tone reminds me off. Now I know. Must be a Dutch thing.
Okay, on the main page it shows Polycarp’s as the last post, even though the one I posted right after that one clearly shows up (at least on my computer). So it’s there, but somehow didn’t register? What the hell is going on?
Hitting “Back” on your browser does not refresh the main page (at least with my browser). You’ll have to hit “Refresh” to do so.
I did refresh – several times. But we had a power surge here while I was posting (for some strange reason my computer stayed on through it, but everything else went dark). Maybe that had something to do with it.
Does my Dutch post show up – the one where I drew a playful comparison between Coldfire and my former Dutch neighbor? I hope so. It shows up on my computer, anyway. I would like to add one more thing. Her (the neighbor’s) favorite expression used to be: “Frrrrankly!!! I’m a bit shocked!”
Yeah. She had a windmill up her ass alright.
Well it’s evident that his page was a waste of bndwith for the SDMB- He could’ve hosted and linked to his own site. It’s not ironic that I’m posting in here because I’ve started to post alot more meaningful posts.
oh, absolutely - one really should make broad based generalizations on a pool of one or two. Any more than that, one risks becoming accurate
Sussspendrezzzzzzzzzzzzz sed:
Playful, my ass. If you want to call Coldfire names just fucking do it, coward.
I didn’t see your post as a “playful comparison” at all but a mean spirited sweeping generalization. Trying to back-peddle now and call it playful isn’t going to work.
No wonder your dutch neighbor was never in good mood, she had to live next to you.
