Well, dear heart, you are especially pretty when you pout, and I would love to give you the rhinestone tiarra (you’d have to grow some hair first, no? Or it wouldn’t stay on) and bouquet of roses, but alas and alack, I cannot. Our dear Miss Star has already declared herself the winner, and since she apparently knows everything, she must be right; I mean, you don’t think they go around handing out GEDs and Peer Reviews and stuff to just anyone, do you?
You keeping score? How far out in front am I? This is easy, because I speak Engrish … IMHO LMAO
Hey I’ve got a good idea! Why don’t we all take everything that is said in a literal sense!
So would it be SallyStar or Peregrine?
Oh, honey… after reading some of your other posts in other threads, I have to say that you don’t seem to be all that mentally deficient. In this thread, you’re not making much sense, leaving me to scratch my head and go “huh?” alot, though.
Maybe if you come back in about 10 years when you’re a little more emotionally mature and have acquired better communication skills with which to express your ideas, you’ll be a better fit.
Okay? All right, then, we’ll see you in 2014.
I’ve seen this reference before. To what does it refer?
Anyone else thinking that her “GED” comes from one of those “learn from home!” dealies that you see on late night cable? You know, the ones with Sally Struthers (who always sounds like she’s about to burst into tears)
Wow, I’ll bet that would get you guys really riled up!
[quavering]Right now, there are children going hungry in the home of this GED correspondence course owner. Only you can help.[/quavering]
Eliza was (probably still is, in some archive somewhere) a computer program that was supposed to carry on one-half of a conversation by detecting key words in your input and putting together questions that (almost) made sense. For a short length of conversation, it sometimes worked very well–as a therapist might: asking you about things you wanted to talk about–but eventually it came to repetition or some non-sequitur that left you gasping.
‘Talk to Eliza’ was an early AI based computer program that pretended to be a pshrink. It would start a conversation, and spit back questions to you that were repackages of your previous input. Pretty aggravating to those who couldn’t figure out what was happening,
An angel gets their wings of course.
Guin, here you are: Eliza. Have fun. 
Or just make us pity you… 's all good.
Now, that is a classic line! 
May I use it for a sig if I ever get tired of 'punha’s line?
Note to Starving Artist – if this person were playing her mind games with a political twist in the other direction, would you be as quick to offer her support? When I did my intervention with you, it was because I saw a sincere person (albeit misguided, IMO 
) who didn’t intend to make the initial impression of an under-bridge dweller. Our current Pittee, however, seems to me quite a different kettle of squid.
I’d like to point your attention to this, a quote from one of our better presidents.
One of the things I appreciate about this country is that it is (so far, at least), still possible to publicly disagree with the government without getting thrown into prison.
True of a President in office, but not one who just died.
Why not? Why should his having died (even if it was just last night) mean that we can’t say we thought he sucked as a president? “Don’t speak ill of the dead” is a really stupid attitude.
I’ll just assume that you were raised by a pack of hyenas and don’t know any better.
And what praytell are we to assume of you?
Y’know, this whole Reagan mishegoss reminds me of Kim Il-sung’s death in 1994, while I was living in South Korea. I had been on an intercity bus from Kyongju to Seoul at the time, and when I got off at the Kangnam terminal, I saw that everyone in the building was watching TV, which showed masses of North Koreans in Pyongyang screaming, “ABOJI! DDONAJI MASHIPSHIO!” (Father, don’t leave us.) Kim was lauded by the North Koreans as the Great Leader, the North Star who guided the People’s Revolution, and who had been the greatest genius the world had ever known, a scientist, scholar, patriot and glorious founder of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
SallyStar, Sam Stone, and Grienspace are giving me that same kind of vibe. And why is it that two of the most ardent defenders of Reagan’s legacy aren’t even Americans? Don’t they have Stockwell Day to slobber over?
I grow tired of hearing rightwing politics being defended by Canucks who don’t have to live with the consequences of the “Reagan Revolution.”
At least SallyStar is a homegrown moron.
Eating your lunch?
