Thanks, TVeblen

tomndebb, you are my new hero.

Mr. Svinlesha, I’m reminded of the man who appeared on “Hardball” a few months ago, and kept comparing the Democrats to Neville Chamberlain for wanting to meet with the Iranians (or was it someone else), and saying that they were appeasers, just like he was. Only when Chris Matthews asked him what made Chamberlain an appeaser in the first place, the guy couldn’t answer, and just kept shouting over and over again that he was one.

When the guy finally shutup and admitted he didn’t know, Matthews explained to him about the Munich Agreement.

Sounds like Starving Artist might be the same guy.

Hasn’t that ship sailed? Are there people how don’t view you this way already?

I suppose engaging Starving Artist in this sort of a debate could damage one’s reputation.

Guin:

I’ve had that exact same thought. But I don’t think yelling back at him gets me anywhere. There’s this old adage about pig-wrestling: never wrestle with a pig, it’ll just make the pig happy and get you dirty – something like that.

Might be Twain:

“Never try to teach a pig to sing, it can’t be done, and it annoys the pig.”

You’ve been a Guest since August of 2000? Jesus, what a cheap sumbitch!

Yeah, but at least pigs (Wilbur, Babe) are cute.

If i remember correctly, he used to be a member. I think his guest status must be some sort of software issue or database issue.

luci:

Well, I for one would never join a club with standards so low it would have me as a member.
Guin:

And what does that make me? Chopped liver?

Never by me.
