I had expected those rotted IQ tests, so I got this nifty umbrella. It is also guaranteed to prevent rotted bong juice from permeatiing, so I think we’ll be safe. 😃 ---

(not saying it is great mind you) BTW, I really love how everybody contributes to this thread in such a productive manner, brings tears to my eyes.

So, does drinking bong water bring out the same effects as inhaling smoke? _Somebody_ on this board has to know - this is the SDMB after all! ---

This thread has made me laugh, which probably explains the tears. 😉 My comment was more of sarcasm and dry wit than anger. I await a serious reply from **KellyM**. I doubt I will get it though, apparently pride runs great through her veins. And her vision is clouded by smears of fanatacism. ---

[sub]I know, I KNOW…I said I would “exit, side left”…so throw some more of that rotted bong juice on me…I have that umbrella anyway, so I can TAKE IT![/sub] I should have ALSO said that I was trying to contribute in a productive manner BUT WITH HUMOR, which IMHO usually defuses things while still making a point. Of course, MY idea of humor and other people’s view of humor is not necessarily the same thing. In general, in fact, it ISN’T…but I DID get that you were being sarcastic and using “dry wit”… [sub]that DRY WIT part is what usually gets ME into trouble…[/sub] still, it was rude of me to hijack your thread, especially when I hadn’t READ the original thread. Which I still haven’t, but I certainly don’t assume your “points are trivial.” I don’t assume they AREN’T, either…but I would have to READ the blasted thing to have an opinion, and I am truly too busy to DO that. Anyway, just didn’t want you to think that you were being lambasted…at least by ME…without genuine conviction. Which should only come from someone who READ THE ORIGINAL THREAD!!! ---

I wasn’t refering to you **Scottcher** about the trivial thing. My comment about my points seemingly being trivial was in reference to **KellyM** post with no substance in this thread. She was playing “I will ignore the poster, which will make it seem like I feel his point is too trivial to aknowledge”. 🙂 ---

Thank you, dear. I honestly don’t have a clue here, and I frankly like KellyM a LOT…but I don’t think your concerns are trivial, either. I quite honestly JUST DON’T KNOW. But I wish you good luck.
