To begin with, I was merely surprised.
I’m becoming more impressed by the hour, though. Four pages? I could only wish some of my threads were this successful.
That was such a kindly, wise, caring post, attempting gently to point our young lady away from the perils of her own narcissism…
And my first thought was "he’d have better luck digging a hole in the ocean with a collender. I mean kollander…
Fuck it. Seive. Sive. Ceive.
Double fuckit…
I’m trying to squint just right and see if I can make sense of your post. 
(Actually, for fast readers like me and many Dopers, it IS hard to read your posts, because I read a couple of lines at a time, and I miss the visual cues of capitalization when they’re not there.)
I have Ctrl and Alt keys, too! Fancy schmancy keyboards.
That’s something that has occurred to me - the kids of well-off people actually have very little, even though they think they have a lot. None of it really belongs to them, and they certainly haven’t earned any of it.
Oh, ya’ll fancy, huh? Well, I hope you folks know that lindsay has requested that ‘ask the rich’ thread closed. You all proud of yourselves? That thread was funny as hell, and now it’s closed.
(this thread is funnier, though. I wish lindsay would come back to this thread. She seems pretty capable of holding her own.)
Didn’t she have people to hold it for her?
That sucks! I miss all the fun threads.
Aw Snap!
That’s okay, we can still be friends. Even best friends. That’ll work out great for me because then I can tell a bunch of people on the internet about how close we became despite the vast differences in our upbringing. Which will be a really cool story!
That’s okay. She’s gonna be a [Hermey]DENTIST![/Hermey]
I thought she was a chick.
It really did have some gems. LizOnya earned a Delurk of the year award, groo posted an Oscar winning monologue, and the chuckles in that thread was gold. Just gold.
Four pages? Phfah! I’m rich enough to set my settings to eighty posts per page, bitch.
I’ll believe she’s rich when I see her Rebecca Black-style “Tiday” video.
“Tiday, Tiday,
everyone knows I’m tiday,
Tidayin’, tidayin’
cat puke wipin’ tidayin’”
I’ll say it: I like lindsaybluth. She says strange things, sometimes, but we all say strange things sometimes, which is why we’re here. There are no Dopers who are perfectly socially adjusted.
Yes, I’m looking at you.
You won the thread.
beartato, you speak the truth.
Well, yeah. lorene is entitled to be gracious about it if she wants, but the rest of us can point out that as apologies go, that wasn’t one. It’s the equivalent of saying, sorry I mixed you up with another poster, but you’re a bitch anyway, so no harm no foul. It’s apparent that lindsaybluth feels like she wasn’t in the wrong, hence the non-apology. We’re entitled to note that.
I don’t need email notifications that someone has posted to a thread, I need email notifications that a thread got interesting.
Not if you get colander cancer and have to wear an ostomy bag.
Be honest: would *you *participate in a thread about somebody else’s parents annoying habits?
Oh shit. Will you tell everyone stories about how the first time I came over to your house (and by your house, of course, I mean the house your parents own, stocked to the brim with brand name kitchen implements, probably) and stared, in awe, at your colanders? YOUR TWO COLANDERS? And how your mom shot me dirty looks and then privately discouraged you from hanging out with me again? And your friends were all like, man, I ain’t saying she’s a colander digger. But she ain’t messing with no colander-less n*****, yo!!
Thanks man. I don’t often worry about pointing this out, but just to put it out there: I’m a chick. And the word colander will never look right to me now. Also, I just wanted to get across to lindsay that I think all of us hit a point in our mid-twenties or so where we think “Shit, I was such a tool when I was younger!” And the more we think about it, we get to thoughts like: “And no one bothered to tell me what a fool I was making of myself, bragging about my palatial mansion with a rec room? The house my parents worked to buy that I just happened to live in? And how I was going to pull in 400 grand a year when a friend of the family handed over his business to me? God, I’m so embarrassed”. I just would think it would suck to still be making those kind of dumb statements during that time in your life where you probably should be feeling like an ass clown about the dumb statements you already made in your teenage years.
I don’t blame her for asking it to be closed. MPB was being a dick by dragging this thread to that one.
After years of hard work, graft, and saving, I went out today and purchased my second colander. You may all now call me Smeg Two Colander Head.
