Over the past 30 minutes, I have composed three posts that would at minimum earn me a warning and taken in tandem, may have gotten me banned. I deleted them before submitting as I realized I sometimes have a tendency of flying off the handle, and likely I would regret it later. However, I made my first use of the ignore function tonight, and now my list has multiple members! I think it will greatly increase my SDMB pleasure. (No, not saying who, or even hinting at who…just expressing gratitude that this function is enabled).

So, in any case, this is what I am posting now – instead of bad words and ill-will being dished out, I am now singing myself a song called “Puppy dogs and Butterflies”.  
Good night, all. 🙂

If you ain’t the granddaddy of all liars!  
The little critters of nature…  
They don’t know that they’re ugly!  
That’s very funny, a fly marrying a bumblebee!  
I told you I’d shoot!  
But you didn’t believe me! Why didn’t you believe me?!

Lobelia is so unhip, she pronounced “f-ing” as “fing.” “Robbie was so fing mad, he couldn’t see straight.” She is so-o-o-o-o 20th century. :rolleyes:

Just think of -

“Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens  
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens  
Brown paper packages tied up with strings…”

Or, errr, not.

So, did a good night sleep help out your mood, **mouthbreather**? Feeling a little better. Of course, for all I know, you may not even see this post, because I may be the one you put on ignore.

If that’s true, and you can’t see this, well then let me just say:

Was that the wind? Did you guys hear something?

Thanks, Hammy. I’m much better now.

And my grandma bites through eggs. She just could never get that sucking thing right.

so…

My grandpa died an unhappy man! Sorry, couldn’t resist. I’ll be here all week. Try the roast beef. :rolleyes:
