Shodan gives us all his regards.

Let’s not get ridiculous.

I don’t think God works like Voltron; as much as I wish He did if He exists.

The trinity is special needs kids, zambonis, and flame throwers.

I think that’s actually known as the Triad of Awesome.

I thought I was tipsy. What the fuck does developmentaly disabled children, hockey ice machines, and WW2 weapons have to do with . . . the price of tea in China?

Well, flamethrowers are in high demand in the Chinese black market, however, concealing them across the boarder has been an increasing problem that the Chinese military is constantly on to. Then the Olympics came to town, and what better way to smuggle flamethrowers into China than on the official zambonis? And no one – no one – suspects kids on wheelchairs to be couriers in the Chinese weapon underground.

More yuan ends up being spent on incendiary contraband weaponry, less on tea, and the tilt in the economy drives the price of tea down by a small, but notable degree.

Or it’s all because of this post.

Actually, I think that’s the premise for one of the Rush Hour movies.

Rush Hour: China Tea

OK, Your post was funny until the last sentence. I guess I just don’t think 'Special Olympics" references are witty, or intelligent, or anything but lame.

You miss my point. You’ve claimed several times that you pitted Shodan because you really wanted to know why he signs off the way he does. But no where in your OP do you ask him. So, the pitting didn’t turn out to be the pile on you were hoping for so you backpedaled your pitting and tried to morph it into “Hey, I just really want an explanation”. That about right?

These are the jokes. I was just rollin’ with it.

Not really, no.

Okay. Funny, though, how the posts you’ve made support exactly what I said. But other than that, I’m sure you’re right.

Magellan, see post #138. I sent the guy a PM a good long while ago. Why are you always a page behind everybody else?

I’ll make it simple for you, magellon. Here’s the relevant part of my earlier post:

. Now do you got that or did we have to start a pledge drive to get you a Zamboni?

I’m the truth. And the truth always has to linger. How else how am I going to “catch up with you”? :wink:

I stand by my assessment: your claim that you pitted Shodan in part to discover the “why” is a fabrication created in backpedal mode. If you were interested, and that was one of the reasons for your OP, (both of which you’ve claimed) don’t you think it might have been a good idea to actually, you know, ask him in the OP?

Well, since you decided to pick up a bigger shovel… You claimed on page 1 that one of the reasons you pitted him was to discover the “why”. Yet it was 100% absent from the OP. So that’s simply bullshit. Now you seem to think that a rational defense is that you PMd him—over two pages later!

No, I don’t think so.

Sure you are, buddy. Sure you are.

Glad I was able to straighten that out for you.

At least you put the shovel down, though. That’s a good sign.

Damnit, Magellan, I do not have the money to buy you a zamboni. I could maybe make you a flamethrower out of a super-soaker and some gasoline but renting out a skating rink in Coastal Georgia is going to cost a pretty coin.

I pitted Shodan and PM’ed him. I didn’t post the PM because, well, I’m not going to post any PMs! And PMs are none of your fucking business. I don’t know what the hell you want from me here

No, no, I have it on good authority that curling on arena ice is a poor substitute for the real thing. Much better to find a dedicated curling facility.
