You are delusional - that’s why. You believe there’s nothing wrong or even weird about entering someone else’s home and placing a loaded weapon down on the table in front of everyone, and are confused as to why your hosts would be upset. That isn’t “swapping stories over a few drinks” - that’s “socially maladjusted nutjob”.

Vinyl, you almost always bring the funny, but in this thread you are killing me. I’m getting tears in my eyes from laughing so hard.

Also, thanks to your comment last night on “anything in there I should know about… I’m on a _diet_” I was snickering all through dinner and couldn’t keep a straight face. so THANKS.

I first read this as “I got five on it.” That made me laugh; I hadn’t heard that phrase since high school. Then I realized I _still_ hadn’t heard it since high school. :o

“I got five on it” is in reference to putting five bucks in on a small bag of weed; usually a dime or a twenty.

The [latest and greatest](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=659802) from the Dope’s biggest (current) troll.

Should we start a betting pool on when the mods will finally give her the boot?

I’ll take 7/28 at 2pm.

She was posting while OFF her meds?

Which is different from her posting while ON her meds how?

I’ll be generous and go with 8-1-2012 at 3am.

Weird, innit? I discovered I’ve posted in one or two of her troll-threads\*, but I don’t think I registered the connection between them until now.

\*Posting questions with carefully-omitted important detail or explanation, with the express intent of “getting interesting replies” is trolling, IMO, even if it’s pathological.

I personally don’t think she’ll ever get banned.

But you could start demanding proof that she post a picture of her master’s degree, and if the mods and admins decide she has been misrepresenting herself, she might get the banhammer.

I remember her thread about her parents not letting her cut her hair (however many years ago that was), and she always seemed a little unusual, or like she had been raised in non-mainstream circumstances, but she didn’t come across like a total lunatic like she does now. This is a recent development within the last year or so.

I tend not to post all that much when I am on it.

I recommend doing a search on thread’s she’s started - it goes back to the beginning.

Well, she is off her meds, but they might just be Cod Liver Oil capsules for all we know, because that’s not such an important or provocative detail as the fact that she’s off them.

Now, see, these dead-pan responses to out right personal attacks makes me think that **Diamonds02** is a poor simulation of an artificial intelligence program, maybe a MIT prank.

Personal interactive skills are not evident, normal human responses, not evident, humor, not evident.

If you are indeed a real, living, caring, feeling human, I am sorry for your condition. You are either overly medicated or need more care.

What does she claim she has a master’s in?
