Jeanie … I hope this is not how you go about making friends. Okay, so maybe Opal isn’t one of my favorite persons right now, but she certainly didn’t deserve the sucker-punch that you delivered. I was unwarranted and underserved. It certainly wasn’t instigated by her. The same goes for the insults that you have been throwing at everyone else. I’ve noticed that this thread is the only one that you’ve bothered to post on. In case you didn’t realize, this forum is where people who have disagreements in one of the other forum go to; not for people to just jump in and start heaving derogatory comments about. If this is what you think “The Straight Dope” is all about, I suggest you look elsewhere for your cheap yuks. You should also know that we do have the power to ban people from the board. It is not something we’ve had to use yet, but you are coming perilously close to making us push that magic button. In other words, cool it. * * * Eutychus [http://www.disneyshorts.org](http://www.disneyshorts.org) ---

What is it with the dipshits who burst onto a board for no other reason but to look like a total asswipe? You succeeded Jeanie-Poo. You look like an asswipe.

> [@](#): > > Ah yes, Bella, you’re truly a deep person!!!Like, let’s light a lamp, bake a cake, read a book on cats and have sex with politicians and beasts while comtemplating our spirituality. fascinating, captain. First of all, missy, let’s look at one of your two interests… books… what exactly does your interest cover with books? Do you burn them? Look at them? Or buy them and shelve them in your home in an attempt to make yourselflook intelligent? Lampworking, if you had bothered to take a moment to look it up, is a form of glassworking. How silly of me, though… your point in posting is clearly not factuality but personal slams. ## Yep, I shop at Lane Bryant and I eat my own cooking, and I sure enough have a fuller figure. _smile_ On the other hand, I can also stand my own company and am comfortable with who I am. Thank god for that… if I were a deeply insecure ass I might have to do something like log onto a board where NOONE has ever heard of me, and start posting snide judgements of other people in a vain attempt to cover my deep insecurity and lack of taste, judgement or character. I wonder, is it actually possible for you to hold a real conversation? Maybe you should try it sometime… -Bella religion? it’s a finger pointing at the moon. ---

jeanie, honey, you’re a bitch. Sorry, but that’s the truth. I know several people who are sexy despite being overweight. Furthermore, the criticizing of another’s appearance (especially someone you don’t know) is incredibly rude, uncalled-for, and generally representative of a lack of anything more substantial to say. So I give you a big raspberry. * * * Die, foul crouton! ---

Her "arguments"consist entirely of personal attacks, factual or imagined… on the whole rather dull of her, don’t you think?

> [@](#): > > Reading what? The backs of cereal boxes? Writing pornographic poetry? Well, since you asked…I read some Vonnegut, Heller, Styron, Pat Conroy, Margaret Atwood (fiction and poetry), Kesey, Eliot, Yeats, Whitman, Plath, Sexton, Cummings, Auden, Adrienne Rich, Sharon Olds, and one holy heck of a lot of non-fiction, about everything from the writing process to death. And that’s not it, of course…I’ll gladly read some decent “bestseller” fiction like Wally Lamb or Stephen King. I could probably come up with more, but it’s 2 in the morning, and I’m on Ohio State’s 30-minute line. As for the writing…I write poetry and creative essays. I’ve written erotic poetry before, but most of it isn’t very good (I was going to say that it sucks, but that’s just too much of an unintended pun for me). I’ve been published three times (well, the third will be appearing this fall), two poems, one essay. And I’m working on publishing a literary magazine for the local community college right now. So yes, these are my interests, and I’m glad to see that you’re so curious about them. Maybe you should add “stuff other people can do and I can’t” to your list. Three interests is a nice number to have. * * * –elm I’m trying to see things from your point of view, but I can’t get my head that far up my ass. ---

But anyway, I’ve noticed in my years on this earth that people online who make the most stink about others’ appearances are the ones who are the most insecure about their own. And no, I don’t “shop at Lane Bryant,” and frankly, I don’t care who does. On this medium, it doesn’t matter.

Contempo? Wet Seal? Target Clearance Rack. Anyway… I just found this thread. Woohoo!!! I have my very OWN pet troll! Jeanie honey, I won the “sexiest female” award in a chicken vote. Everyone was too shy to vote for someone “in that way” and so only 7 people even voted in that category. I won with 2 votes, 5 other people had 1 vote each. (I didn’t vote in that category at all, btw) Anyway, I’m fat right now. Been this way for almost 4 years. I was thin before that. Toned and in shape, too. I plan on getting back there. So you noticed the fat? Wow. You are so incredibly observant. I’m really impressed. I’m just going to thank everyone who took the time to post to this person. It was quite fun reading, and I agree with everything you guys said. The one thing that I wanted to point out that didn’t get mentioned was that jeanie… that isn’t MY homepage you little twit. That is the Teeming Millions Homepage. If you want to see my homepage, go ahead, here it is [http://fathom.org/opalcat](http://fathom.org/opalcat) * * * **\>^,^\<** “Cluemobile?

Hi Opalcat. Nice to see you here. This IS my 1st post here. I have read all the other stuff and all I can say is this. I love ya babe. ANd yes this is the SpyGuy from da Drain. You know I just love to take on those who are like that Jeannie idiot… However, everyone in here did such a great job there just is nothing else to say. If she did not get the hint then she is a Troll. If anyone needs the real scoop on Trolls you can find it at Uncle Steppy’s Guide to Trolls in Da Drain in MoJo Pub. Opalcat can giove you the address. It is quite interesting with proper nomenclature and everything. Maybe I’ll post a thread on the subject of Trolls from Uncle Steppy’s info. With all due respect Opalcat I hope you had a great day. LATW, SpyGuy * * * If you want my opinion just ask, if you don’t want my opinion just ignore me. ---

Well, I do declare… there may be a way to settle this thing once and for all. I notice Jeannie is in Arlington, VA, and OpalCat is in Fairfax. Since I, a completely disinterested third party, (this is my first time in the BBQ pit, as opposed to the GQ and MSPIMS boards) live in Washington DC, I propose the following. A date each with me - evening of whatever activities the two women deem fitting enough, then when it’s all over I come back and give a report as to who is a more interesting, well-rounded, pleasant person to be with. Whatcha say, kids? 🙂 * * * All Hail Unca Cecil, or the next best thing available! ---

I think you are incredibly brave to go on a date with Jeannie. I mean, what an exciting conversationalist! “Hey, see that girl over there? She’s fat!” “Hey, see that other girl?

Actually, you ass, I know more about Kosovo that you do. Being from a political family, this has been discussed more often that it’s been on the news. So, you want to go head-to-head?
