Well, I consider my lottery ticket not winning the jackpot to be something bad happening to me.
Does this mean that if I go get a gun, the winning numbers from last Saturday night will change?
I guess that would be magic…

FYI: search links don’t stay current. That now links nowhere.
FEEI (for everyone else’s information): Just search the board for posts by her with the word “significant” in them.
Damn! I sure wished I would have thought of doing it, like that!
How’s the finger?
JBDivmstr, it seems you’re still checking into this thread, so here goes: there was a famous woman who once said “Before I leave the house, I look in the mirror, and remove one accessory.” You’re still filling your posts with bolding and underlining and quotation marks around the board, and I feel like I’m reading a mommy blog or something. So before you post, I suggest you re-read what you’ve written, and remove one or two or all of the emphasis points. For my sanity. Possibly that of others too.
Eh, honestly the only thing that bugs me in the last post is the extraneous comma.
Damn! I sure wished I would have thought of doing it like that! Makes me feel like I’m reading a comic book.
I really think we won’t be seeing Susanann on the boards at all anymore. Her last post was a week ago in GQ. Colibri told her that she’d get a warning if she kept presenting opinions in GQ that weren’t backed up by cites. See here:

I wasn’t sure if she was bowing out of that thread, or the message board entirely.
Mommy blog?
Old habits can be hard to break. I am trying.
Dude (dudette?), post as you see fit. Don’t let the Grammar Nazis™ bring you down!
Thanks, JohnT!
Granted, after it was pointed out to me, I realized that I was a little* free *with the quotation marks. :smack:
As far as the bolding and underlining are concerned, how the hell else am I supposed to emphasize a word?!
I try to type like I speak. (Which can be quite animated, at times :D)
And IMHO, to do so necessitates some way in which to emphasize different words, or even entire phrases.
At least I make an effort to spell correctly, and use proper grammar , which is more than I can say for some. :dubious:
And it’s Dude!
5 pages and no pittee. Isn’t it about time to let this go and let the mods keep an eye out for future craziness?
That thread was … weird. Susanann usually seems to be quite a bit of a gun nut and has repeatedly suggested a shoot-first-ask-questions-later approach to dealing with humans that seem even slightly threatening. But suddenly she’s totally against the idea of using a firearm for the very legitimate purpose of removing feral animals who are killing livestock. Strange.
But at least she did get a moderator warning, which is more than I can say for any other thread I’ve seen her make crazy posts in. She seems to be able to fly under the radar most of the time.
Also, in that thread we learn that curlcoat is apparently armed and dangerous, which scares me a little.
Well, it looks like she hasn’t posted since then. Maybe she finally got tired of being called out on her bullshit and packed up her toys and left the sandbox. We can only hope.
You truly do sound like the 16 year High School Prom Queen bitch who isn’t happy until she’s managed to turn everyone into one of her fellow bitchy allies in the High School lunch room.
Doubtless, you’ll flame me for that too. That’s what happens when the message isn’t a pleasant… the messenger gets shot.
Seriously, you’re the person who started this thread, and here you are… still seeking allies… just like the epic High School queen been bitch.
I don’t have a dog in this fight. I don’t give a shit who you’ve pitted. I’m just calling like I see it.
Did you mean queen bean bitch? Or queen bee bitch? I am kind of hoping it was queen bean bitch, because that is random and awesome. Like, “I am the queen of the beans!”
“I am the queen of the beans!”
Random AND awesome?!
Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! snort-cough-gasp-wheeze!
Yeah, she’s only got five pages of people agreeing with her. Seems really desperate, so count me as one more.
I have only rarely, if ever, participated in a Pit thread about an individual poster. I won’t make it a habit, but I’ll make an exception for our absent guest of honor. I agree with those who think she may have an actual mental health issue. That said, she does challenge my ability to be polite when she posts nonsense.
She’s done much funnier things, but I’ll forever hold in my heart my thread where I asked the board if it was safe to go to Mexico right then (around Easter, when there was a lot of violence) and she made a special stop in to tell me “If you go to Mexico, then you deserve whatever happens to you.” I assume that also goes for those who are stupid enough to be Mexicans.
By the way, I just got back and we had a fabulous time. Felt perfectly safe at all times, and we rode the Mexico City subway at night and everything.
And, apparently, you deserved it.
I remember that! Wow.
I’m glad you had a good time.
