Agreed. I think a lot of people are reaching for things to bitch about
Agree.
I grew up in Australia, and before coming to the US i’d also lived in Canada and England. If i think something about my experience in those countries is relevant to a discussion, i’ll bring it up. And i’ve done that dozens, probably hundreds of times on these boards.
I thought you were referring to ivn telling Ibanez to
Thank you for that. I must confess, though, that to restore balance I feel a compulsion to write
It’s Only a Game (Night): The Lezlers Monopoly Melodrama
(or: It’s Not My Party, so Why Am I Crying?)
No, he was yelling at someone for using you’re/your incorrectly and then he himself used it incorrectly in that very same post.
Emphasis mine.
I was with you until the last part. Way to insult someone who gives you a compliment.
Jerk.
Aww did Vinyl hurt your wittle feewings?
More lessons on the internet. If two internet people are having a kerfuffle, you can only make snarky comments about one of them. If you do to both, you’re a jerk.
Folks, if you wanna know more, you can just buy my books.
Not at all. However, when someone gives you a compliment and you return with an insult, don’t be shocked when they think you’re a jerk.
Man, now I remember why I quit posting in the Pit. People tend to be real assholes over here, just because they can.
What, no love for the Lesley Gore title spoof? Tough room. And here I was looking forward to Twister Night…
I think lez needs a hug. Hey, lez, I know your user name has nothing to do with your sexual orientation, but I give really good hugs. I have references. Maybe it’ll make you feel better about being in the Pit, where people are douchey because they can be, rather than, say, IMHO, where people are douchey to those who offer advice that disagrees with the validation obviously being sought.
I laughed. But then I’m a bit of a humor slut.
Wow MeanOldLady, you got a hard on for me or somethin’? You gonna follow me around now from thread to thread, making snarky little comments because you’re still pissed off that I dare not like one of your BFFs and told her as much in an inappropriate thread, which I’ve already conceded? That horse is now dead and bleeding all over the pavement. Time to let it go.
I think you’re taking it a lot more seriously than he meant it.
What in blazes are you talking about? I don’t even know who you are, and I have no idea who you think my bff is. sven or turnip, or um, some other guy…? I was just pointing out how butthurt you got that turnip swiped at you, and pointing to the continued hilarity of you claiming not to like the Pit because people take swipes here, even though you took repeated swipes in a non-pit forum.
But if you’d like me to start following you around, I can do that.
Edit: Oh, you think **sven **is my BFF. Um, she’s cool I guess, but that’s not why I was laughing at you.
I was actually hoping even sven might be amused by my post about her as well, but now I’m not so confident. There is a tiny bit of heart hidden deep within the snark. If you listen you can just hear it… it makes a low, dull, quick sound, such as a watch makes when enveloped in cotton (but I digress). I think she’s contributed a lot of interesting posts and I admire the courage it takes to uproot completely and immerse in a foreign culture (more than once). So yeah, I tease, but she seems like good people.
(God, I hate that phrase: “good people.” Why the hell did I just use it? And why didn’t I just delete it? It’s not like this is a freakin’ typewriter. I haven’t even hit **Submit Reply ** yet. No sense. None.)
I don’t even really like popcorn all that much, but I’m popping a bowl of it.
This is what it sounds like… when turnips cry.
OOOOHWOHOOWWWWOOOOO.
Don’t you hate how it gets stuck between your teeth?
I want to commission Vinyl Turnip to write a play about me. It should have coffee in it somewhere.
