I think one single talk with your boss would be worth 1000 trips to the gym, clearly your gut is not your real problem.

I’ll never look at a giraffe the same again! Thank you for providing the imagery to sear my brain in such a way.

I used my mouse to drag-scroll through page 2 of this thread and while it was too fast to read anything, the words that jumped out at me were **Hot-Buttered-Lobsang.**

Thought it was funny.

Don’t see those much. Except for when they’re on the way to jail. And they always look all butt hurt.

It was at this point that I decided you’re making a joke. \*\*Giraffe \*\*is a small-minded dickhead? Most hated?

I don’t \*think \*so.

I was kind of surprised to skim further and find out you were serious.

eating recklessly? Like what, you eat off a knife instead of a fork? Heap the plate really really full and then perch it on the corner of the table while you eat (with knife)? If you want to be reckless, you know what’s needed… drugs, as many kinds in as much quantity as you can afford. Not heroin though, that stuff’ll kill you. And don’t do crack.  
This may be off track, but I recall a thread being closed recently in Mpsims, I’m sure it was Lobby but not 100%, and it was closed for being _too_ mundane. I think that’s… silly. Life is silly. Do drugs.

So, I guess I’m confused here. We have **Skipmagic** , an Admin, come in on the 13th and give this formal warning:

> [@](#):

> Lobsang, you’ve been told before to stop with these pointless threads, so please take this as a warning to stop treating the SDMB like your personal blog. None of the fora–even this one–are meant for every little thing that pops in your head. Again, if you just want to post random thoughts, please contribute to a LiveJournal or Blogger account.

On the 17th, we have **Giraffe** give this warning:

An Admin warning, referencing that HE’S BEEN TOLD BEFORE TO STOP, followed several days later by a mod warning for the EXACT same fucking behavior. Am I allowed to ask why this guy is still around? I don’t care if his life is going down the shitter. Call me a soulless prick, but this guy has done nothing over the last howevermany years to earn my respect. How many times does he get to violate warnings before he gets the boot?

The bottom line to me is that this kid is using way more than his share of the SDMB resources. He posts one to two OPs a day, every fucking day. Most of us post fewer than one a week. It would be one thing if the content was interesting but for the most part it’s boring, useless shit.

Take a 30 day break, **Lobsang** , it will do you, and us, a lot of good.

I was with my husband and kids at the Lincoln Park zoo (may have been Brookfield Zoo) when the giraffes attempted to mate. I wanted to watch (the ONLY time I’ve ever been voyeuristic in me life) and my husband was embarrassed and appalled. He fussed like a mother hen.

Lemme tell you, giraffes doing the nasty is awkward, cumbersome and fascinating. And the penis is looooooong, black and thin. Female giraffe seemed resigned and mostly bored by the whole thing. Male G did lick her ear, which may count as foreplay.

I never did get to see completion of coitus. I count it as one of the failures of my life.

I just thought I’d share. It’s not often I get to share my giraffe sex story. If you ask my husband about it to this day, he gets all bothered. Men are weird. 😛

I’d just like to mention that **Giraffe** is in the top three of SDMB mods, and that **Lobsang** should stay in MPSIMS, where he can find attention from people who care about and are interested in inane and dweebish posters.

I just learned in another thread there is a Rapture index, so it follows there would be an SDMB Mod index. Are you ranked by similarity to the Antichrist?

Reminds me of an old story about a fellow taking his son to the zoo: the punchline goes, “Now remember son, your mother is _spoiled_.”
