After a very long period of time reading & posting on this board, I have come to realize two things:

1)There are posters that I like.

2)There are posters that I don’t like.

That is also the way of it IRL. Every day, I encounter people that I like, and people that I don’t like.

Who I like and who I don’t like, on this board and IRL, is of no real consequence. One thing that I try hard not to do, though, is trash people I don’t like. Somebody somewhere does like the people I don’t like. Somebody I like probably likes somebody I don’t like. What’s the point in arguing about it?

Lots of people like Wally. Lots of people love Wally. Lots of people (myself included) think Wally hangs the sun and moon. But I don’t recall ever being asked to like him. It just happened.

You don’t have to like Wally. In fact, it’s probably better if you don’t. That will just leave Wally free to spend more time with the rest of us.

Oops–I almost forgot to swear! “Damn.”

[gushy love stuff] Wally is my hero. Wally is everything a woman could ever want. He makes me want to go to Canada, track him down, and (mumble) him. What difference does it make that he’s a lousy moose-chasing, battle-scarred, married Canuck? [/gushy love stuff] 🙂

Hmmm . . . I must admit my love affair with Wally has cooled a bit since I found out he has been two-timing us with Snopes . . .

Wait, wasn’t that Bruce Willis, in… darn, what’s the name of that movie? With I think Samuel Jackson? One of the “Die Hard” series, maybe.

## I’m a Wally fan. And a fellow Canadian, btw 🙂

Any similarities between your reality and mine are purely coincidental.

::mournful sigh::

So, Wally, didja ever think you’d end up a Doper icon, sniped at by somebody named “CalifBoomer” wanting sig advice about Aryan farts? The irony…reeks.

Don’t have a relapse, guy. It may be tough, what with hysterical laughter and high minded “putzing”.

The “fuss” about you? Oh, quality, sly wit, grumpy kindness, fine companionship…

Veb, always there with a kind and encouraging word.

Unless you’re a putz, of course.

You gave me a bit of a scare, Veb, because I hadn’t seen you around for a while.

Whew.

Hey, Wally-

I’m curious…do you have the word ‘putz’ macro’ed in…like ctrl-p or something, or do you have to type it out everytime, like this:

What’s the fuss about Wally?

Not only is he funny, he’s cool as hell.

I wish I had half the wit on this board that he does.

What’s wrong? Upset because you didn’t get a sig line? All you had to do was ask!
