Oh good fuck. Hostilelad’s started quoting from The Loser’s Handbook. :rolleyes:
Go here, see #3.
Then go away.

If I didn’t respond to it directly, my apologies. I was trying to lump everything into one post and had very little time in which to do this.
Bear in mind that though I greatly appreciated the advice I got, some of it was rather . . . let us say that in this class, adjectives were treated as a good thing and I was encouraged to use personal pronouns and detail some aspect of movies without commenting on them from the POV of a film studies student. So some of it I appreciated, but didn’t use.
Now, on to other things:
leander, my advice to you, and you can take it as what it is if you like, (which is the advice of someone who’s lasted over a year and almost 6000 posts without becoming universally hated) is to not assume that everyone here can read your mind and knows when you’re joking.
I knew you were joking with one of those posts. It just wasn’t funny. Some of the others of your posts in this thread have been not merely unfunny but insulting. The bit about “go outside, get some air, put on some pants” I found spectacularly insulting and ignorant.
We don’t know you. We’re not your close buddies and we don’t ahve any inside jokes. It’s great that you think you can pal around with us, but don’t say stuff that can appear (to some) to be insulting and expect all of us to know what you’re thinking when many of us don’t even know you.
Thank you. As many posts/threads as I read, I only post to every fifth or tenth. I just read fairly quickly, catch threads when they’re young, and type quickly as well.
And having a nice, big connection here at school helps a bit:D
Sorry 'punha - I meant to include a winkie smilie. I know as well as anyone the pointlessness of a million-and-one thankyou posts anytime anyone so much as advises you of the best angle at which to hold your feet*. I didn’t and don’t expect comments each time I help anyone.
Goshdarnit. See how careful you have to be not to come across in a different way to that intended? I have provided an object lesson.

Gee, <twitch> thanks…Green Bean…<tick>…That …made…my…day?

And I, for one, would just like to express that I cannot fight with leander anymore. He has already found out my biggest, most best-kept secret, that I am <gasp> a TEENAGER!
How did you ever find out, you bastard?!
[sub]And yes, I have school today. In fact, I’m sitting in a study hall as we speak. Your point?[/sub]
And Guin, of course I’ll be your honorary lil’ brother. But you realize that, as a smaller sibling, I am obligated to embarass you in front of potential boyfriends, place snakes and toads on your pillow, and shout incessantly at you to “Get out of my laboratory,” yes?
MysterEcks, you just wait. One of these days, Western Pennsylvania will launch our super-secret plot to take over the world. Then it will be Pierogies and stale beer for EVERYONE!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAAA!! Go Stillers!
If that’s how its going to be, I am ready for the rapture. Lordie, come take me now!
mmm…periogies and ahrn city and stillers. It sounds like heaven, anyway.
Of course-but it also means as Big Sis I can beat the crap out of you when you annoy me-so it’s all good.
[sub]I’ll be good.[/sub]
[sub]<discreetly places a “Kick Me” sign on Guin’s back and runs away giggling>[/sub]
Pierogies, shmierogies. I’ll take a big vat of halushki, please.
Jester-don’t feel too bad. Everyone knows that I live in a van down by the river.
me too! ain’t some jobs a bitch? worst thing about my job is i keep losing the remote in the couch coushins!
You and me both. I’ve been registered here since the beginning of these boards in spring of 1999, and I still haven’t reached 100 posts yet. Sad, very very sad. Isn’t it? Registered for two and a half years and less then 100 posts? I still come here often, though, to lurk. I’ve been trying to post more, but it’s hard when I don’t have much to post about, so I read posts instead.
Suzanne???:eek:
I’ll bring the tea and oranges this time.
