>Max down below, who must have taken methemilum off his "ignore" list

not necessarily; max was replying to maverick, who was replying to Faldage -- this is the flaw in the ignore-ant.

and, "the sented gulf wind"? what's the postage on that, then?!

Twice thirty-seven cents, if you're a hoarder.

Dang. I left out the sea in "scented" and I'm still on jmax's "ignore" list. Dang.

Oh well, at least I'm still me.

Nope, that's why it's 2x37, if you don't have time to get to the post office and buy two cent stamps.

The word or idiom I forgot is used to describe things, particularly rules and functions that are "sacred ground", and people should never mention or consider to change/revoke them.




Going way back to the beginning, questioning the thing you're trying to describe sounds like sacrilege. Does looking at it backwards like this help any?

No, Milum, I apparently do not get it. But what you need to do is get a life. What makes you think that anyone appreciates your coming in here and denigrating people, foisting your pseudo-intellectualism off on people who merely want to communicate with one another in a meaningful manner and pissing people off?

I'm still trying to figure out if you were born this way or if your parents raised you to be rude, inconsiderate, overbearing, and most of all obnoxious.




Just curious, does Ted speak for this group?

The quote "Don't go away mad, just go away" was the title in bold of the latest personal message that mister Ted sent me earlier today. You know, the one I posted here.

Funny fellow, that Ted.
