SMDB Embarrassment: Could I take back that day?

Someone should ram this point home!

sigh I guess he’s just going to have to wethers yet another flock of puns.

But Hal is a good natured fellow. I’m sure he’s not one to put on aries.

Almost every thread I have opened.

Ahh well, I guess we can’t all be geniuses, right?

I’d inform a Mod, but it’d take too long to goat through and identify all the punsters.

I sure wish I’d never started a thread about my husband helping a pet-rescue group after Hurricane Katrina. You never know what is going to set off the looney brigade.

Yes, we should flock to his rescue.

I guess you probably don’t want to hear that for some reason that stuck in my head to a ridiculous degree and I’m often reminded of it when I see a flag flying in physical space, right? Oh, how I laugh!

If it makes you feel any better, I didn’t remember that it was you.

I will now, of course.

Heh heh heh.

(I’m sure I have many much more embarrassing moments than that, myself, but I seem to have blocked them out. Oh, yeah, I’ve given voice to thoughts about sexual self-determination formed in my early teens that gave some people the impression I was a kiddy-perv or something close to one. Then I try to explain, “No, I actually usually prefer women that are considerably older than me,” and they get skeeved out in some other way. You can’t win for losing.)

When I was young and green I posted in a telemarketer thread…

…defending them. :eek: :smack:

I’m in the same boat, but because the initials of the hospital I work for use those same 4 letters in a different configuration.

As for an embarrassing post I’d want erased from history… nah, keep 'em all. I can always use my posts here as an insanity defense, should I ever be accused of something.

For what it’s worth, I don’t believe any of you people actually exist, so there’s no need to be embarrassed.

I’d say it’s a tie between the threads I’ve started that got 0 replies, and the time as a young programmer I tried to defend the difference between hacker/cracker long after I should have bowed out.

Fortunately nothing yet I have to bribe the mods to ‘disappear’. :smiley:

I remember that… all I could manage in my immediate post-Katrina trauma was a hearty ‘fuck you’ to one of the loonies and then I couldn’t read the thread any more.

Just do you know, TP, I got this one. And chuckled. :smiley:

I was (an apparently young) 17 when I started here. Good god are my early posts horrid.

Yes: one time I got worked up and posted a Pit thread suggesting we break the 8th amendment for a certain notorious case.

I inadvertently offended a Doper and I did apologize but I’m not sure he read the apology.

However, what’s even worse is that I broke my self-imposed rule on not giving the case more publicity: don’t want the non-defendants to continue to gain unwanted attention. Therefore I’m not going to tell you what it is if you don’t remember :slight_smile:

I once posted a long impassioned rant in the Pit…directly under another rant about the same subject. Which had almost the same title as my thread. :smack: :o

Too many to count… :smack: :smack: :smack:

Recently I skillfully added this post to the wrong thread – a thread that had been dead for 16 months (sounds so much nicer than “approximately a year and a half” doesn’t it?) and revived revived the old thread – which went on to get 41 more posts after my non sequitor. I was trying to post to this thread and, (here we enter bonus point territory) with my mistake I essentially killed the modern thread. (Bonus bonus points) Chowder – the thread starter - was really cool & understanding about me strangling his thread to death with my bare hands.

Pretty bad, OK but I know you are thinking “Well, it is not like you accidentally cross posted as taanstafl notes, in an obscene, soon to be locked, thread that you wouldn’t want anyone to know you even opened – let alone to show up into perpetuity on any search of your user name, right?” – and I thank you for trying to comfort me like that.

Some of the flirting threads I participated in made some people nauseated. I apologize.

Piffle.
