Any list, any mention of ‘hi, opal’, I’m just gonna see that. It is locked in my brain. Glad you picked up on that. I think any list in my future posting will go from 2 to 4 to make it obvious. I’ll probably be the first poster to receive a mod warning for what I _didn’t_ post. ---

> [@cmyk](#): > > Who’s Opal? That would be perfect for the third item in any list with only two items, but we’d get in trouble for that, wouldn’t we? It would be nice if people would just knock off the whole Opal=#3 thing, because that way we have to think about her every time we see a list. Can’t we just ban her from the #3 spot? As a silent protest, I am going to make it my goal to create two-item lists in every thread I possibly can, with no number 3. No Opals, no nutsacks, no buckeyes, just lists with only two items. > [@fenris](#): > > I don’t recall the surgery posts, but after said surgery, she posted a thread asking people to guess when she’d take her first poo after the surgery. :eek: Good lord. What the hell is wrong with her? Is she narcissistic or a massively insecure attention-seeker or just plain clueless? I’ve seen a lot of tasteless things, and sometimes tasteless is entertaining, but this just goes over the edge into disgusting. And this comes from someone who has read every TMI and weird and disgusting thread. ---

[QUOTE=fenris] I don’t recall the surgery posts, but after said surgery, she posted a thread asking people to guess when she’d take her first poo after the surgery. [/QUOTE] > [@MagicEyes](#): > > :eek: Good lord. What the hell is wrong with her? …his just goes over the edge into disgusting Well, in context, it wasn’t quite that vile, and she was trying to make fun of herself, in a way. It was sort of appropriate for someone who’d just had surgery to their digestive system. I’d agree with the massive pile-on that it was in questionable taste, but it wasn’t really any farther over the edge than many very successful threads around here. The problem was more that she went all “but, but, but WHY? la la la la I can’t hear you” when folks suggested it was a bad idea. ---

I’m gonna thread-shit here. I’m sure that OpalCat and I have disagreed vehemently at one time or another on matters political or theological or whatever. That said, I’ve always found her to be intelligent, artistically talented, eloquent, funny AND she dresses her cats in cute costumes. Oh yeah- she also ranges from cute to hot, depending on how she does herself up. Yeah, the buckeyes thing was screwy, but come one- _Norman Bates voice_ sometimes, all of us go a little crazy. ---

It’s hard to think of anything more self-absorbed than believing that other people actually care about and want to discuss your bowel movements. I’d never read that thread before. My God, I had no idea how narcissistic this chick realy was. That insane defender of hers — that “techchick” person – she was pretty far up her own ass too. I’m not surprised she got banned. ---
