well, good. i’ll loan you my spare colander anytime! 
Why would she want to borrow your lower case colander when she can have an upper case one of her very own? Look, this isn’t grammar nazi stuff. You don’t even try.
Either start using the shift key or prepare yourself to be pelted with airline-sized bags of mixed nuts. (They hurt like high-velocity hacky sacks.)
Send me your details and I shall have father ship one from our family owned colander mines in deepest, darkest Africa.
Sure you will don’t ask. And I bet you’ll charge her in AUS dollars too, just to be nice, eh?
I bet they’re blood colanders. Shameful.
On this message board, you are never going to stop getting shit for that. I assume you like the attention for it or you’d stop, so spare us the “aw, quit picking on me” bullshit.
Why would anyone want an AIDS colander?
no! anything but mixed nuts. i have an allergy and i’ll fall down dead if i even look at a picture of a nut, kind of like that video from the ring.
and how about you spare me the “how this board works” lessons, cause i know very well how the board works. the opal reference should’ve tipped you off that i’ve been around for awhile, even if i have only recently started posting.
i’m having a sense of humor about the whole thing, not saying “aw, quit picking on me”. trust me, if i have something to say, i’ll bloody well say it and not take the passive aggressive route, ok?
if you feel the need to respond, please do it in a PM or start a thread, so that yet another pit thread doesn’t get derailed over this nonsense. thanks and have a lovely day.
So, you’re saying you DO like the attention, then?
expectopatronum, your name’s not “terri schmit,” is it? There was an article in the Sunday paper about an artist who insists on spelling her name that way.
HOLY SHIT, YOU KNOW ABOUT OPAL??
Oh my God. I am so, so sorry. I can’t believe I said anything. You are like…a Straight Dope Message Board High Elder or something. I mean, knowing about Opal…wow. Wow, man. I seriously underestimated your tenure around here. You stay proud with your lack of caps! Hell, it’ll probably start a trend. People are going to want to be cool like you now that they know you know about Opal.
Opal. Wow. Seriously, no idea.
Thank you. I appreciate your forthrightness and willingness to speak your mind.
I don’t feel like this thread has bridged the gap: it still feels, lindsaybluth, like you want to state clear opinions on discussion-worthy issues, but don’t acknowledge the affect your tone has in the discussion - or at least don’t see it as outside the bounds of “normal” - and you don’t regard this as a social setting, i.e., a place where you should worry about your tone.
I don’t know what do with that.
sanibelman, nope, not me.
don’t hate cause i only live two hours from sanibel and can go there anytime. 
actually haven’t been there since like 2007 when i was in a beach wedding, it really is nice down there.
on preview:
mswhatsit, calm down, please. i just used it as an example because a lot of people have taken it upon themselves to try to teach me how the board operates. the only point i’m trying to make is that i know how the board works. i hardly think it makes me some kind of doper high elder or whatever you’re blathering about.
expectopatronum
just start signing every post:

expectopatronum
you’ll fit right in.
i don’t want to steal shodan’s thunder. 
You think that’s thunder?
It’s more like a fart.
C’mon, people, y’all fucked up the Susanann thread 'cause of this hijack, don’t derail other threads, mkay?
This thread is already so far afield that I feel further hijacking actually increases the probability that we will complete 360 degrees and end up back on the original topic.
By the way, I felt you all should know that I have replaced the colander, so I have once again risen from the lowly no-colander social stratum into the middle-range single-colander one.
Is it to late to give this a standing ovation?
Heh - he farts in every post he makes. My husband will be jealous when he hears of this.
