Is this a rhetorical question or a poll?

not enough to start a thread about it.

Jonboy on the one hand seems to have a problem with what he perceives as argumentative posters (which I am, by the way) and their threads, then on the other hand he occasionally fires up at people who seem to ignore him (should we name a few?) on a regular basis in a manner that I'd define as super-aggressive or starts threads asking advice on revenge. Hmmm, what a case in study.


pokkeherrie: Both.

And in answer to the topic at hand, YES. Continuous displays of attemted anything are tired.


It's ok, I'm feeling a little bitchy towards him. I'm sure he can take it.

I'm not sure. Why is there no "Not sure" in this poll? What the fuck is up with that?

I like to enjoy the wonderful parade of beautiful ladies of all shapes and sizess that walks to lunch through the lobby of the One Allen Center Building in downtown Houston Texas. It keeps me feeling alive!

I'm always about attempted cleverness. However this is usually because either my audience don't understand why what I said was clever or because it was purposefully cheesy (I really do love puns). But there is a right balance to wit that I like to maintain, too much is too much like when I'm borderline schizophrenic off of a tall coffee.

Just recently I was at a "Beer Olympics" that some old mates were holding so I decided to visit, say hello, drink shit beer, and watch people get drunk. Anyways, I was standing there with a friend's girlfriend and her friend and we took notice of the beer pong team that were all dressed in over the top retro 70's sports clothing (headbands, fake mustaches, close fitting gym clothing, etc). Olympics... get it? Anyways I mentioned how I find so much college irony annoying and the girls freak out and say "I don't see what's ironic about that" and "define 'irony'." Feeling like I've made myself look too elitist for the scene, I changed the subject. But what the fuck?

They certainly are, but as long as one gets 8 hours sleep a night, it's not dangerously exhausting.

Toilet & Bowels 05.06.2008 02:06 PM

who has time for 8 hours sleep though?

Glice 05.06.2008 02:42 PM

I go tits if I have less than 7 1/2 hours sleep a night. Can't deal with it. Too many drugs back in the day, one suspects.

Everyneurotic 05.06.2008 02:50 PM

i'm always moody because i never sleep enough or the odd day when i sleep too much.

Glice 05.06.2008 03:08 PM

Americans always get aggressive in the face of superior vernacular, don't they?

Go tits = go mental. Generally involves hearing church bells in dog barks and such.

I like go tits. I will have to use that occasionally. Along with 'plow' which I learned is another word for fuck. To be used in the context like- "I would totally let Thurston plow me for free".


Plow and till with rapeseed. You see where those sort of terms come from?

We spell it 'plough' - aren't we quaint?

ditto, and don't even have kids yet.

If you yourself are so intelligent then an attempted clever comment or analysis that isnt should be easy to bat back if one feels so inclined.

I think the full spectrum of idiocy is not best represented by attempted cleverness.
