My response, further down, is that Neurotik should head off the the Sesame Street site, but perhaps, upon re-reading his post, I should retract that.
Part of the problem is that I really have no idea what his point is. His post is logically incoherent, even upon a re-reading. But maybe, to be fair, he meant exactly this.
Is he being insulting to Australians, and the Australian convict heritage? -in which case, I have words to share with him.
Or is he drawing a satirical bow at jaybee’s logic?
Certainly his other posts on other threads seem to be less delphic.
Well, given the options presented to me in the subject line, I suppose I was trying to be witty
It’s not a problem, although, I must admit I was shocked when I found myself the subject of a pit thread. I’m still laughing about it, and I’m sorry if I offended you.
It really was an excellent movie though, you should definitely see it.
Dave: I don’t think that going out will help you in seeing The Princess Bride. Rather, I suggest you stay in and watch cable TV until one of the networks shows it.
After thinking about it and puzzling over it, I didn’t know whether to be offended or not. There is certainly no reason for you to be contrite. Again, I’m sorry for my misunderstanding, and I’m grateful you’re being a good sport about it.
Perhaps we should turn this into a Pit thread to berate people who shoot off for no good reason.
Dave, you really MUST go rent The Princess Bride. If nothing else, then so you will understand the many, many references and quotes that spring up on this board all the time.
