So, if I’ve got a beef with your beef about Kate and her beef, you’ve got a beef with me?

But I didn’t delete the link! I just banned Katie.

Anyway, I’m Texan. I think that I’m only allowed to put a brisket on a grill, by law. Unless it’s a corned beef brisket, then I’m allowed to make a New England Boiled Dinner, as long as I don’t refer to it as such.

Oh, well never mind.

And I’m sorry, I just miss Katie so much.

Never order beef over the internet. Very unreliable. I tried this last year, paid the money in good faith…and then nothing. Sigh. And every time I contacted the company, they kept saying the same thing…

“The chuck is in the mail.”

I do not have a gas oven either, or any oven for that matter. How I long to shove some meat into a hot oven until it gets all tender and juicy, but alas, I am oven-less. Sans oven. Once there was an oven, and now there is not! For my room is too small to fit an oven, you see, and the culture here does not really put many buns in the oven, or anything else for that matter, so they don’t see a point in them I guess.

In any case, I am very sorry for your lots.

Thank you. That was possibly the most ridiculous PM I’ve ever received, and after 5 years as a mod that’s saying a lot.

**Lynn** banned her, I just edited out the link.

Vaporizing spammers is the most enjoyable part of this job.

Because some of the replies in this thread have gone too far. They’ve crossed the loin.

Okay, I just got over chortling uncontrollably (now I’m just chuckling maniacally)… repeating _“Steve the Cow. Seriously, Steve the Cow. Steve. He’s a cow. Steve. The. Cow.”_

My family is now shunning me.  
Thanks, Steve.

Who’s a cow.

I don’t mind em being bossy. I am 100% understanding that I am fighting an uphill battle here, and I am also 100% understanding that it’s a bit of a silly battle to be fighting given that “my side” has never been a formal “ally”\* and potentially doesn’t care. It’s almost like I’m Big T, but less sensitive or something.

Oh, and I’m 100% understanding the mod behaviour makes sense. I just think my way of doing things _also_ makes sense and is better by default given the greater freedom.

\*In the sense that they’re not a known poster here and haven’t asked me for help or anything. If they’re super duper spammy, then they will never come here again.
