> [@Guinastasia](#): > > **Bo** , why not just make it your sig? Then you’ll still be able to post it at least once in a thread, and the rest of the board won’t want to strangle you. See, best of both worlds. Because I don’t Let’s go to the quarry and throw stuff down there at every single post, just the ones that are particularly funny. For something that has been posted about 2 dozen times, and always with context, it’s sure drawing a lot of fire. Makes me think that a bunch of you are whiny bitches, ya know what I’m saying’? It’s not like I post it in every single fucking post of mine, after all. Regards, Bo ---

Sorry, **Guin** , the whiny bitches part wasn’t really directed at you specifically; it was directed at the whiny bitches who are bothering the mods over it, and hijacking threads to bitch about it, and feeling the need to pit me over something that they’ve seen less than 2 dozen times and who are totally not getting that it is only something said in context, not just posted randomly and constantly, regardless of what the thread/post is about.

Oh, horse truffles. You’re doing it deliberately to be annoying, provoke a reaction, and see how long you can get away with it before the mods shut you down. So far you’ve succeeded on all three fronts, so lose the phony indignation; it’s a bit much. ---

Sorry about this but I have a question about quarries. I wonder how fish GET INTO a flooded quarry. It isn’t as if there are hidden aquifers or springs in there so that minnows can make their way there from elsewhere. Do people deliberately stock quarries? Why? It isn’t as you can fish there. ---

My TA in bio in college said that fish can travel between ponds in Florida during periods of unusually high flooding, which I imagine occurs once a decade or so. So some very tiny fish might be swept in in rains. Then again she also said that viruses were alive because they had a metabolism, point blank, end of story (not even mentioning the mimivirus which comes close,) so take it for what it’s worth 🙂 ---

You’re just doing it because you think it’s cute. It’s not. Apparently you don’t pay attention at all, not even to your own posts.

I think everybody knows where you got the phrase. I think that what’s baffling people is why you’re using it. You say that you’re using it in context, but what context are you using it in? What determines, in your mind, whether it’s appropriate to say that or not? ---

Dude it’s annoying and needs to stop. There are posters here who refuse to capitalize properly. It’s not a bannable offense and in fact it hurts no one, but it’s annoying and it makes reading the board less enjoyable. If you don’t give a shit about anyone else then by all means continue. If however you feel a small bit of connection with the other posters you may want to consider this a kindness on your part that would be appreciated. Of course the choice is yours. ---

In late spring they’d pump it empty, clean it and refill it. Every year there were a bunch of fish in the swimming pool - big guys, too big to be fingerlings from that year’s eggs. Turns out it was kids fishing in the water hazards and chucking fish into the pool. After a few years of this, my dad would get me and my friends to go fish the swimming pool prior to clean out time.
