I didn’t want to say anything, knowing how **Hama** feels about flirting hijacks, but when she told me, “I love the feel of your vitriol on my inanity.” Well, is it me or is that line kinda sexy? 😉 ---

In defense of **Crunchy** , I think he handled himself better than most other posters would have. He had a beef about **Hama** , he aired it, she explained herself, he realized she had some valid points, and backed down in a funny, polite, and honorable way. And, while I’m not on the boards all the time, I’ve never seen him attack her before, so he can’t be doing it much, if at all. And I think you’re right, Crunchy… I think that line has sig written all over it. Just my $.02. ---

“After all of the back-and-forth…back-and-forth…he could no longer contain himself. With a manly cry of release he watched as his vitriol sprayed wildly across her inanity, small drops of acid ichor inching across her fragile psyche. She responded in the only way she could - her sarcasm spasmed uncontrollably as she gasped at the contact.” I don’t see anything remotely sexy about any of this. What’s WRONG with you people?

Wife make real good deviled eggs, spicing them up with ground BBQ potato chips, but they are still missing the sweet tang you can only get from pickle juice! Feh! Chicago girls!

Are we ranting, flirting, or cooking? Huh? All three? Lemme go grab some salsa and crotchless underwear, and I’ll give you an earful! ---

No flirting! We’ve been through this before. I don’t wish to relive it. But pickle juice… I’ll have to try that. ---

It tastes good but it’s dry. As for the flirting vs cooking, I’ve long substituted food for sex. And food doesn’t embarass me. Hey, **Hama**! Have we hijacked your Pit thread correctly? ---

So, given the JIST of this thread, in the PIT and all it would be in VERY BAD FORM for me to pop in here and say something so inane as, oh, let us just say, “Hey Hammy! How’s it hanging? I’ve missed you, you little cuddle puss! Why is it that you haven’t called me?!! You bad, bad thing you!” 🙂 🙂 So, like, if I WERE going to do that, I mean, in here, on this thread, it would be very, very bad… right? Well, FUCK ME ALL THE WAY TO SUNDAY AND COLOR ME BAD!!! How’s it hanging, Hama? Remember me? If you don’t this joke is gonna go so flat that even a million balloons won’t bolster it! (Byz sits back and wonders, fingering her keyboard, and other fun filled things…) ---

Wooohoooo welcome back Byz!!! As you can see from the thread, some things (and posters) never change. Crunchy you can get off the soap box and stop being so defensive, it ain’t all about you as much as you’d like to think it is. An observation was made and pointed out, take it as you will, which as usual, you jump on with both feet. It ain’t worth the effort. You are always right…as usual. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by ultress \* > **Crunchy you can get off the soap box and stop being so defensive, it ain’t all about you as much as you’d like to think it is.** Gee, I’m sorry, **ultress** , what was I thinking when you singled me out and claimed my attacks on **Hama** were constant? How could I have construed that as being about me? What the hell was it about then? \*\* [/quote] An observation was made and pointed out, take it as you will, which as usual, you jump on with both feet. It ain’t worth the effort. You are always right…as usual. \*\* [/QUOTE] An observation was made about me, did you think I shouldn’t respond? And what’s this “You’re right as usual” crap? If I thought I was always right, I wouldn’t have backed down and apologized to **Hama**. If you have a problem with me **ultress** , come right out and say it, but quit this little bullshit game you’re playing. This is the second post you’ve made in this thread attributing behavior to me which you have not backed up. Get off my ass, bitch. Follow the advice you gave me about getting the bug out of my ass. You’re still after me long after I’ve made peice with **Hama** and I don’t see what your problem is, as I don’t recall us ever having a disagreement on the board before now. ---
