lol! Inappropriate post. Said in the Pit no less. Ignorance must be blissful. I guess that little comment about “dopers” really got to you. I didn’t realize there was such a thing as an inappropriate post in the pit. OMG! Please don’t tell on me! I’ll be your best friend! Tell the mods indeed. Tattletells. Cry babies. Whiners. :-p I won’t be going anywhere for a long time. I’m too amused by y’all. And besides, like the song says, I kinda like the abuse! (Yes, I know, I’m easily amused and easy to abuse.) Besides I enjoy Cecil’s columns, so while I’m here, and since your buttons are so easy to push… Besides some people on here really do post some things I’m actually interested in. LOL! Amazing how anyone that doesn’t try to fit into your little clique is a troll. But that’s always the cop out around here. Troll indeed… I should change my name to Puppeteer. It’s probably already taken though. Okay, run along now and tell on me for my “inappropriate post” in the PIT. “Baliff! Whack his pee pee” C&C Now dance for me little puppets! ---

Hey, is this that ass-goblin “PITBULLDAWG” that everyone told me about? He’s not so bad - kinda lamely humorous in a way. Just askin’ is all… 🙂 ---

With the exception of Cecil’s columns (well at least most of them). \*\* No, friend, this would be something one could customize. IOW, if I didn’t want to have to suffer through the posts of, say, ssskuggiii, I could click on the magic “ignore” button. This kind of thing exists on TMF ([my.fool.com](http://my.fool.com)). Yes, to an extent it would create some amount of ignorance, but think about the peace it would add to the board. Q: “How about just ignoring them, i.e. not reading their posts?” A: Sometimes you read a post without looking to see who wrote it and you don’t stop in time. I’ve done this before. Wish I hadn’t read stuff. ---

I started a new job at a different school two weeks ago right in the midst of paint, varnish and carpet glue. I have had an intense headache ever since. The teaching staff arrived this week so have missed the majority of it. Thursday as I was getting ready to leave for the day, one of them walks by me and says, “quit looking so stressed, its unbecoming”. WTF? Unbecoming? what a twit! The paint smell is there, everyone is talking about it and complaining about their heads but he assumes that for me its stress? ---

An idiot coworker told me today “My, you look grumpy.” I had been simply preoccupied at my, sorting mail, so I could only look up with a puzzled expression. She said “Your face is all scrunched up.” Then she stood there! with a stupid grin, like I was going to explain why I had a scrunched-up face. Instead, I made a livid face, like I was going to explode, and she backed off and scurried away. Sounds funny now, but the incident ruined the whole evening for me. I DID accomplish creative work, though, planning how to “lose” her mail for a few days as payback. ---

People sometimes tell me to smile, usually when I have a serious expression on my face. I do one of the following: 1. the Linda Blair enormous-rictus-grin that someone mentioned; 2. deadpan “I _am_ smiling”; 3. put on the most acidic, venomous face I can, and spit “No.” ---

When I worked as a cashier at a grocery store, I would get the smile comment all the time. From customers, and from co-workers. My thought on the matter has always been, why smile if I’m not happy? It would just look fake anyway. In the movie Mixed Nuts, there’s a great exchange about this topic. Felix: You were mad the day we met. Gracie: I was. A man on the boardwalk, a total stranger, comes up to me and says, "Smile!: F: And you screamed at him, “SHUT UP!” G: I did, didn’t I. F: And you were right to. It was a total invasion of your privacy. G: It was. ---

finally someone on these message boards makes sense. bulldawg you are my hero all of these boards contain the rantings of very petty people who are ignored by their peers in real life so they create a cause (no matter how trivial) to justify their low station in life i am so entertained by these boards-- full of people talking in other people’s voices because they are so uncomfortable with their own keep the flames coming you cant buy this kind of entertainment ---

I’m sorry I said “Smile”. I got it from my dopey friend. He made me say it! Honest! It won’t happen again. Frowning is good. Bad moods are okay. Staring into the middle distance is fine, too. I won’t try to change your mood ever again. All moods are valid at some time or other. Even the one to appologize for something someone else said. ---

Yea, I call you happy-boy because you are the type that runs over your own dog, bury its remains in a jar, forget all about it, and laugh loudly when you find the jar accidently a month later. ---
