> [@kittygirl](#): > > Talked me into a drive by. > Would midnight be black or dark blue???:rolleyes: Yes. Also purple. Or dark green. I hope you caught the Avocado Dressing “Happy Dance”. Yes. A healthy salad dressing Happy Dance. It was the unhappiest “Happy” Dance I’ve ever seen him do. 😃 ---

Sooo… when does the actual snarking begin? ---

Caught a glimpse of Jill…looking good! Very seasonal in riding boots, proportional pencil skirt and cardi (with just a whisper of sparkle). The hair, which she’s growing out, was nicely coiffed. No poorly fitting jacket, matronly shoes, pants dragging on the floor. Bob Warden (Nutri Ninja) and David Wolfe (Nutribullet) could do a challenge with their bogus blender comparisons (pouring out the lumpy ingredients). Only saw a few minutes of Bob’s NN presentation but will say the recipes I saw him do were appealing and different from the same old, same old that DW keeps demoing. Forgot to thank Honey for setting up this forum! ---

WTH is that sweater color on marymary??? Oh good, all six mugs have matching boxes. Hate to have a plastic mug without a box. Chef Tony is telling us about the mugs with a vent on top. I wouldn’t know how to use the crappy $30 plus shipping ($7) mugs. Six easy gifts at the ready!!! ---

I might get a set of those lidded microwave cups for Gifts of Spite. Just so I can watch 6 people stammer “Uh…thanks for the…sippy cup?” ---

Well kids, it’s gonna be a a Merry Shitzmas after all. My package arrived tonight. I’m not sure who (or what) delivered it, but they were wearing a Taxicab Yellow (honk honk) cape and mask, rang the doorbell, dropped the package and ran. Must be the Q’s new special delivery service. It’s only taken 2 1/2 weeks to get from PA to NY via VA, CA, the Grand Canyon and Mt Rushmore. A large “What Happens in Vegas…” bumper sticker is plastered halfway across the address label. I guess my box has really been around. Ratings to follow after a few Shitzmas test runs! ---

This is SO exciting…I feel like I’ve been teleported into a sorority slumber party with a bunch of the \*really popular \*girls… I really, really wanna say something to fit in, but I don’t know anything about shopping channels. ☹ ---

Hi, I’m coming here with my same user name. Thanks for letting me know. Can someone give us the gist of what the moderators said in the now-deleted posting? Where is Puddy? ---

Cape and mask bearing Poo-pourri? Maybe it was a Turd Burglar? Oh, wait…he wouldn’t LEAVE you Shitzmas spray, right? 😕 ---

Basically they said we told you not to talk about forbidden topics, don’t question our decisions and its locked now. Not be a smarta\*\*. Just really what it was. We were all stunned since no one knew what was so bad. Hope Puddy joins too. Hey girls, we are too mild. See we ARE nice !!!😃 ---

> [@Beauty\_Taint](#): > > Great! Thank you for summarizing the basic guidelines - very helpful! FTR, we did have a very good track record of being civil to _each other_ there, despite differences of opinion sometimes. So I imagine we will continue in the same way here. 🙂 I frequent the PreviouslyTV forums, and generally like them, but their modding is extremely heavy handed. Sounds like something they’d do. So, howdy! ---

A jerk is hard to explain. You know one when you see one. At the SDMB, we serve pie. Or, more fitting for this board, pi. 😉 ---

Okay, not really. I _thought_ about doing it, though. 🆒 Puddy will be along. 🙂 > [@IvoryTowerDenizen](#): > > I frequent the PreviouslyTV forums, and generally like them, but their modding is extremely heavy handed.

D said he will be re-opening the old forum after he “settles the ground rules for the topic”. I have no interest in going back now. ---

Having just said that, it’s probably best not to talk about the other place too much. We don’t want to create any type of board war. ---
