“Coco” didn’t confirm anything. She’s probably your sock. Why should anyone believe you?

P.S. Are you related to Broomstick?

My favorite line as well… I have now watched it a dozen times and sent it to all my friends. Cracks me up. I’ve never really watched Flight of the Conchords, but that was priceless and it led me to a couple others that I loved, particularly “Bowie in Space”. I was total Bowie fanatic and that was a really great tribute, all the mockery being clearly affectionate. So thanks!

I like this live version of the Bowie song. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqa4G0J2faE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqa4G0J2faE)

Fuck off, bitch. The SDMB isn’t a place for fictional storytelling a la Stoid and Broomstick. If you believe them, you’re not very bright.

😕 Well sure it is, in the appropriate forums. GQ is for strictly factual answers and GD (and Elections? I ain’t spent much time on the newer parts of the campus) requires valid cites for credibility, but AFAIK there is no rule against embellishing a good anecdote anywhere that anecdotes are officially tolerated.

Sure, if you get caught out in an implausible porky you’ll be jeered at, but it’s not like it’s not _allowed_. Goodness, where would some of our most timeless SDMB threads (Nazi groundhogs, anybody?) have been under such draconian constraints?

Storytelling is _way_ different from socking, which AFAIK is a bannable offense.

It also isn’t a place for internet bullying either, yet here you are… again.

I wouldn’t be too hard on him **Richard Pearse**. He seems to lack a certain capacity for understanding the ethos and social interactions that take place here on the SDMB, and absent that understanding, I might suspect he sits somewhere on the autism spectrum.

Just sayin’.

Oh, and btw, I’m a dog! 😉

You know what? I was wrong to jump in on this pitting. I made unwarranted assumptions and even if the dog was fictional (which I no longer believe) sympathy costs me nothing. So I’m sorry about your dog, **Stoid**.

So are you saying that she was lying in the posts where she talked about distributing drugs to friends of hers?

Give it a rest. If she told the truth, she is hardly a dealer or an abuser. Not the brightest bulb ever? Sure. But again, if she was telling the truth, she was just trying to help her friends in her “Stoid” way.

Isn’t illegal distribution of a controlled substance an abuse?

Yeah. In her _illegal_ way.

Yes technically it’s illegal. But it’s not like a horrible crime some of the people here are making it out to be. She didn’t murder anyone.
