Well, you could try the Mean Old Guy version of Grumpy, **Ex** , and grumble about the damn kids these days with their loud music, and their baggy pants, and their chocolate bunnies and all. Maybe that would work. Or maybe you could burst into tears at will? ---

You want to use my soul as payment for a _rental_ ? :: bursts into tears :: Hmm. Nope, that ain’t working either. ---

I don’t have a chocolate bunny. I gave it to my boyfriend because he gave me something else this weekend. I spent Easter driving. It sucked. People are assholes after Christ is risen, especially if they drive an SUV. However, boyfriend and I did have a lovely pancake breakfast with his parents. They hid Easter eggs for us, although we found two individual eggs hidden in the living room and then found the other six in the container in the hutch. They got bored. Horsies! Ponies! I miss horsies. I used to ride every week, but I fell off of one in August and haven’t been able to go back yet (well, I did take one ride in January). Give me a stubborn thoroughbred and that’ll make my day. Ava ---

Hey, this thread is still here. I’m sorry to reply so late, but it seems to be something of a theme on this thread, so here goes… **Rue DeDay** said: > [@](#): > > And **tool** , you should word on your conjunctioning. Just a tip from me to you. As I have been working incredibly long hours recently, I was rather tired when I read this. “Cunjunctioning?” I asked myself. “Huh?” So I traveled over to [dictionary.com](http://dictionary.com) to see what exactly I need to work on. **conjoint** : “Of, consisting of, or involving two or more combined or associated entities.” Well, I have been feeling a bit bi-polar recently, but how could Rue know? Does the amazing Rue have powers beyond my comprehension? Online psychotic analysis? **conjunctiva** : “The mucous membrane that lines the inner surface of the eyelid and the exposed surface of the eyeball.” Oh, crap! Not only can Rue see into my head, but also has the power to _see out my eyes_ with enough clarity to notice that my mucous membranes need some work. I am beginning to get frightened. Or perhaps I have **conjunctivitis** (“Inflammation of the conjunctiva, characterized by redness and often accompanied by a discharge”) Or is it a problem in my **conjunctival viens** (“veins draining the conjunctiva”)? Could there be some sort of blockage? Are they showing? Am I getting vericose veins _on my conjunctiva_? I better go see a doctor. Thanks, Rue, for helping me out. 😃 -tool (All quotes from [dictionary.com](http://dictionary.com), as they seem to be the most fun to play with.) ---

This is just going a bit too far. Let’s recap: The thread was dead as a doornail, but **Rue** decides to revive it in order to provide some affirmation to **jr8** , as requested in an _entirely different thread_. Okay, fine. I have no problem with that. Then I wandered in here with a toss-off post. Again, fine. It wasn’t really useful or anything, but there you go. Then, **welby** and **Kn\*ckers** popped in with all sorts of pertinent advice concerning the methods I might use to improve my posting habits. Duly noted. The next thing you know, a poster who shall remain nameless posts some drivel referencing yet another _entirely different thread_ while still trying to address certain other posters. Another poster arrives at this point and tries to drag the previously-dead thread back toward something relevant to the first page of this train-wreck by mentioning horses or something. And then, and only then, does a poster contibute something worthy of a **Rue** thread. Well, okay, the previous post was also worthy, and helped him a bit.\* And then, for the love of God, THEN: one of the previously posting time-wasters posts a toss-off blurb referencing one of the previously mentioned _entirely different threads_. Did I miss anything? \*Thanks to **avabeth** and **lightingtool** for providing fodder for this post. ---

Yep, this baby’s pretty much right the hell off of the track. It’s a full fledged train wreck at this point. With casualties and everything. And fire trucks. I like fire trucks. I once saw a horse tied to a fire truck. But that’s not why I’m posting. I’m posting to point out that you obviously looked in the wrong thread when I said I was nice in the thread I know you don’t read, **Exgineer** my friend. You should have looked [here.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=178316) 😛 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sugar-level-saturated-warning-short/170017.md?page=4)
