He’s old enough to be Senior Modding. And does, from time to time. It’s not pretty.
I am shocked, shocked!, that being cute or sarcastic apparently no longer passes as humour around here. I’ll have to change my whole persona.
One Thanksgiving my mother cooked a turkey that my grandfather gave her, which he had stored in his freezer for a while. He said it was fine, but the longer it cooked, the odder it began to smell. By the time it was done, the entire kitchen smelled like ripe farts and none of us could even stand to open the oven door, let alone think about carving or eating the turkey, so we threw away it in the outside garbage can and ate something else instead.
After that, “the year the turkey smelled like old farts” became something of a cherished family legend. I hadn’t thought of it in years, until I read this thread.
See, no problem. You can take an elective in snarkinesiology with Shodan, if he’s not already too busy teaching Laughing and Grief.
Wow, you’re right about the hand…
Why isn’t this thread about glee?
OK, Liberal, apology accepted, and I’ve removed the official record of the warning.
No, I don’t think you can do that. The precedent of “No take-backs” is fairly well established. I think the warning will probably have to stand. Liberal, no more junior modding, please.
I kid!
Suckup.
Wimp.
I don’t know about anyone else, but “snarkinees” has a whole “Gotcha Ya!” vibe about it.
It’s like “bee’s knees,” only snarkier.
YMMV.
I think that if one had snarkinees, they would best be set off by some clever boots.
How in the world could anyone even know what an old fart smells like? Whaddya do, catch’em and keep them in the cupboard?
I think Kozmik is onto something here.
They call 'em fingers, but I’ve never seen 'em fing…whoa, there they go [/otto]
Now if a someone takes the username Captain Needa then I could see this happening.
Are you smoking the same stuff Shodan is smoking, or was that just random? How can you tell when a fart is ripe? You can’t squeeze it, you can’t see what color it is. Do you just measure how much it makes your eyes water?
Hmm. We start out discussing Liberal and end up discussing farts. There’s something deep going on here. Hey, Shodan – pass that over here, willya?
That’s not what I heard.
No. I ate the last of them.
looks at her hand
Oh, my GOD! My fingers are ORANGE!
I no longer control the hand. The hand controls me!
Oooh! New Zen koans! But I don’t get the last two…
Be the snarkiness you want to see in the world?
This thread has jumped the snark.
