Naked what?

( * ) ( * )

Oh and Fenris? That swishy rainbow was pretty ~

Naked? I didn’t know I had to be nekkid! Since I actually prefer (dilemma, I wanted to highlight “prefer” by using an un-italicized font but it goes against my italitist standards) being naked, WHEEEE!

That’s really cool. Now that it’s in quotes I can see all the tags- that must have taken forever!

I’d say something on topic to Raisinbread, but (s)he’s been ragged on enough.

Thank you Azure. You are a gentleman and a scholar, as opposed to Diane who is no gentleman. “Swishy”? I am a hairy chested, testosterone laden male. Even if I were gay, I wouldn’t swish, I would swagger, baby! :wink: :smiley:

And again, to Raisinbread: I got nuthin’ against you or your posts, other than the annoying color choice.

Fenris

I think it’s because ATMB attracts the more anal posters and the Pit attracts the attention whores, and when the thread was moved here raisinbread found more of his/her own kind.

I haven’t seen anyone mention the reason it annoys me, and it’s an actual valid complaint about something functional: when you do a search, showing results as posts, the results show a little excerpt of the post, but the vBcode is visible, so the frickin’ purple tags waste space and generally get in the way (example).

…and my crotchety, stick-up-the-ass reason for hating it is that it’s just stupid. It’s like writing your book report in sparkly pen.

IIRC, there are two exceptions: A rather sad OP that was mentioned already, and another one in which the man/woman of the hour forgot the coding.

This thread has officially jumped the shark.

A few years ago I met a young man who went by the name “Duck.” Whenever he met someone he would say “Quack quack, Hi! My name is Duck. Quack quack!”

Whenever I see one of raisinbread’s posts, I immediately think of him. I’m sure Duck was a very nice person, but it was hard to take him seriously.

Yeah, but did his posts echo?

:: d&r ::

Yes, and no one knows why.

Wow, no one’s posted in nothing but spoiler space yet.

But I will say that while raisonbread’s choice of font color annoys me (I, too, find myself ignoring anything in color - I’d prefer that when I get caught on the internet, it looks like I’m just reading mail or new articles, and color typically isn’t in either of those), I haven’t taken offense or annoyance by anything that he/she has actually written.

And yes, I do realize the irony of the above paragraph after I’ve spent three posts in this thread mocking him/her. It was probably a mistake - no harm intended.

JPEG! rowrrrrrrr

If we have to be naked can we get fabric bus seats as opposed to plastic so we don’t have any suction problems?

Raisinbread is female.
