In reply to:

So, what is the connection between coffee and codoms, anyway ... apart from the fact that they both begin with "co".

Are we just trying to change the topic?



In the immortal words of Yoda:
"Do, or do not - there is no try"

Seriously, though, the regulars here never have to try to change topics, it happens organically.

Do you mean "orgasmically"?

Is it just happenstance that an "episcopal vigar" obsesses about condoms and an analstrobic critic changes the topic to coffee?

Possible, I suppose, but most unlikely.

I am just making an honest observation.

Who are we trying to protect ... from what?

Ain' nobody tryin to protect nobody from nothin. You can either accept the fact that topics drift about or you *could read the posts and see for you own se'f how it happened.

Condoms are considered good protection. [crossthreading]

talk to me word boy, i am the one who took a single work in a post, and in effect changed subjects..

Capfka's post was more or less on topic, and then the corrections followed, and i took info in the corrections to change topics..

and yeah it happens.. we had just about finished 'french' as an adjective... there weren't any really intriging discussions going on.. and so people responded to my comments...

sometimes, a off comment will come early in a thread, and be ignored, and then later brought up again (usually by someone else.) and the first person who posted then complains about either being chopped liver, or a *micky mantle.. at that point, we either continue with the tangent, or play with the words mantle/chopped liver, or the thread loses interest...

you've been a round a while now--and you seem smart enough, haven't you seen this pattern yet?

Here marks the point of *conversion:

Extraction with a naked female drinking coffee: One thaler.

wordminstrel - It's an intentional creation of a defensive posture... a shift created with a *porpoise... kinda like building a bridge and then renting the space under it to a troll.

From somewhere in cyberspace:

What is a Troll?
A Troll is someone who comes to the message board solely to provoke fights, insult people and cause trouble.


And for a collection of definitions:

Now, then: what is a vigar?
