On the Melinda Dolittle thread and observations there

You are right; it should have been Rectum Breath. I stand corrected.

Walk it off.

@DudleyGarrett

Then how about nearly every time I get quoted by Liberal and her minions, it is almost always quoted out of context?

Don’t make me break out my pussy.

Don’t make me break out my pussy.

I remember last time you did that.

Penis ensued.

Also, I have clearly pointed out to you that boomers are NOT the overwhelming majority of people who buy music, by your own damn link. In fact, they only constitute 25.5% of all sales, and not only that, and as Liberal so eloquently pointed out, a good portion of those sales are for grandchildren. So who is the music made for? Certainly boomer grandparents aren’t buying Tony Bennett records for their grandchildren.

The statistics are skewed by the way the data is broken down. You didn’t comment on that, of course, because you were found to be dead fucking wrong.

So basically we have is this:

Boomers don’t buy the most music, and digital music has sold more units.

Go ahead, throw your faeces.

Dude, neither I nor Liberal said that boomers bought the majority of music. You said that boomers don’t buy records. I realize that you didn’t mean that no boomer buys any records. I believe that your point was that boomers are an insignificant segment of the record-buying market. If you think 25.5 is insignificant, say so. Don’t claim that I said that boomers bought the majority of records sold. I didn’t. And I didn’t make up the age groupings, the recording industry did. I didn’t comment on them because they didn’t matter to my argument: 25.5% percent of the market is not nothing.

And dude, calm down. I think that you’re an idiot, but I’m not angry at you or anything. Relax.

Quoting accurately, even if selectively, is OK. Altering or fabricating the contents of a quote box is not. It is very simple.

And the proper response when you are admonished by a mod concerning a clear, no judgment call at all rule violation is “Yes sir, Mr. fluiddruid, sir, it’ll never happen again.” Are you trying to get thrown out of here?

Plural. I have minions, you know.

@DudleyGarrett

You corrected me for the sake of correction alone, and you’re calling ME petty? Gotcha.

@DudleyGarrett

I just noticed something. Liberal spelled Melinda Doolittle’s name wrong.

I love when people catapult themselves up on the highest horse only to find they’re sitting on a donkey.

Indeed.

And I’m apparently one of them. Who’d a thunk it?

If only I had always been a woman!

What exactly does one of your minions have to do? I have a feeling I’m not going to like this.

I believe that would be “Yes miss, Ms fluiddruid, miss, it’ll never happen again.”

Can I be a minion too? I know the difference between “units” and “songs”.

I can’t tell apples from women or oranges from wax cylinders. And I’m having trouble grasping arguments. I’m lost, I tell ya.

I don’t really handle the minions myself. I have people who do that. But I can tell you that you’ll have to have a sex change. If you’ve already had one, you’ll have to have another.

Well according to Dudley you have already had one.

Don’t you have to have had sex first before you get your change?

[Liberal]

@rayh

Yeah, okay, here’s fifteen cents. […lighting cigarette…] Was it as good for me as it was for you?

The life of a straight man is a sad and lonely one.

Is nobody going to take a swing at this? C’mon people, this puppy has got to be as big as the moon! My sister’s dead maiden aunt could ride one of these out of the park.

[Crotalus]

Lib, if you don’t mind taking the time, please send an email to the address in my profile. I have a kind word or two I’d like to offer you in private. Thanks.

[Liberal]

Don’t mind. It’s done.

[Cat_Whisperer]

Wait a second - fluiddruid is a chick?! Nobody tells me anything.

Boomers don’t buy music - that’s a good one. Not only do they have lots of money, but if my husband and I* are anything to go by, we buy tons of music. And not Tony Bennett, either - we bought the latest Justin Timberlake and Nelly Furtado cds last weekend (as well as the Chalk Circle greatest hits album). And yes, we have Kelly Clarkson’s album, too.

*We’re technically not Boomers - we’re cuspy with Gen X’ers, but I don’t see us stopping buying music any time soon.
