The art of not posting too much.

I shall formulate an articulate and succinct reply to the OP’s concerns the moment I have finished shitting my pants.

Hopefully you put down a towel first.

Bing bing bing! (At least, that’s my guess. Not judging anyone.)

80+ posts in and not a word from Beck.

There’s so much irony here that my shirt lost its wrinkles.

I know, right? This actually makes me think she might actually be a little brighter than she lets on.

@Ambivalid

Same thing. Totally.

@Beckdawrek

By that token, you’re saying everything you do for money is prostitution. I can’t believe that is true. Pretty young girls can have good jobs. It’s possible to work hard and get a degree and have a fulfilling career. Prostitution is in no way fulfilling. There is no short cuts. And no free lunches.

Well her ability to detect the most elementary levels of sarcasm leave much to be desired. So there’s that. (I was responding to someone in the “Addicted to escorts” thread who was comparing prostitution to cleaning toilets for a living).

Well the inability to detect sarcasm in a purely text based medium is a good reason to mock someone.

I have to acknowledge this as true. I humbly withdraw my previous snark.

I am honestly unable to tell if this post is sarcastic or not.

[Inigo_Montoya]

Ok good. Cuz me too. Did Delicious omit a ‘not’ or not?

[DooWahDiddy]

I read it as sarcastic in and of itself, and I thought it was brilliant.

[Mr_Shine]

I read it as a statement which may or may not be sarcastic but is deliberately vague. If that’s the effect Delicious was going for, well done!

That statement can be read as delivered in both a straight and sarcastic manner.

Straight: I read it as sarcastic in and of itself, and I thought it was brilliant.
Sarcastic: I read it as [air quotes]“sarcastic”[/air quotes] in and of itself, and I (ha ha) thought it was [air quotes]“brilliant.”[/air quotes]

“The vague pronoun thing” (technically known as “unclear antecedent”) is just as much of a hindrance to communication as the passive voice.

My friend’s new puppy had a big ol’ tapeworm, but puppy got a shot and now she’s all better. A puppy story always lightens the mood, right? RIGHT?

Depends on if you were rooting for the tapeworm.

Ha, no, I meant it straight. That he was being sarcastic. So no, no sarcasm. About him being sarcastic. What was the question again?

@Morgenstern

So how do you know you don’t want to read a post until you read it?

If it says Grestarianbelow the date, you scroll past the thread-killer’s attempt and continue reading.

By the way, I do apologize profusely for my exceedingly verbose and colorful responses to what are generally considered simple questions, particularly when my responses are either too sarcastic for the general mood or when my feeble attempts at applying levity to an apparently tense discussion result in confusion.

TLDR: Sorry.

–G!

[Richard_Pearse]

@Morgenstern

I probably only post about half of my responses. Once they are written and reviewed, even I realize that they are shit and delete them.

Same. It can be quite depressing when you realise you’ve spent an evening reading various forums, composing a vast number of replies, and posting nothing.

This reminds me of when my toddler stands on a chair and shouts the same word over and over

While shitting his/her pants?

[Teddie]

I think I posted in this thread once before by mistake, wrong website!

The art of posting not posting too much?

I’ve more problems than I cannot even begin to deal with.

Two major issues came up at the hospital today with regards to work. One of them being that my 13 year old daughter has just been diagnosed with arthritis the other is that a smear test I did on a patient has come back positive.

I’m taking leave to deal with my daughters prognosis but before that I have to be in the room to,deal with fall out of the Consultant telling my lady she has stage 3 cervical cancer
