And here I am standing in the middle of the forest and I fell down, I guess the puts that question to rest.

It's not that's the other thread, you know, the one with the various recipes being traded.

I love it when there is two questions of the week.

I wonder which one will get more posts by next Friday.

Yes, he used to steal my beanie all the time. Now he just hotwires pshrynk's BMW. (Also, "sock_monkey_propeller_hat" for topical filename WIN, Javed! )

[vivaldirules]

I'm all ears.

[recluse]

I know you can hear me.
The question is, do I give a damn?

I think we both know the answer to that one.

[pshrynk]

Aw, Recluse. I always knew I could count on you to care!

See, back in the day, a mention of our feathered friend wouldn't have taken near 15 hours to get a good thouaquing. A lot of you folks have taken your eye off the poultry. You need to focus. I'll let it pass this time, because I am disempowered to actually do anything about it, but in future if it is not more promptly attended to I'll be forced to make equally nonsensical complaints and authoritative statements threatening punishment from a self-delusional position of pseudo-authority.

Cheers,
Marc

You mean moderating, right?

Yes. I am empowered to moderate, but any authority granted doesn't extend to punishing people for not saying "thouaque" when someone mentions the word that starts with "d" and ends with "ck" and has a "u" dividing them. All my dreams of arbitrary enforcement of my subjective opinions on others totally dissolved before reality like a passionfruit popsicle on a summer footpath.

I did get jetboots though, so it's not all bad.

Cheers,

You are being oblique.
And a touch opaque.
I'll throw in obstinate because I don't have any other use for it.

Wait....! YOU got jetboots!

How come I did not get jetboots!

All I got was a 1,000 page pdf file, about some red button (that begins every page with, "Don't push the red button!"), a box of red parts, and a stained note that reads, "HIDE FROM PSHRYNK!"

Talking as a self-confessed fool, never put down to obliqueness, opaqueness or obstinacy that which can be easily explained by obliviousness, obtuseness and obeliscality (I throw in the homemade latter, by way of barter on your own last offered).

But...but...but...I specifically charged the Monstnmags Enterprises Armoury with issuing a custom pair fitted just for you...calf-length white and yellow polyleather cowgirl boots, blinged with a thumb-sized padparadscha on top of each toe, platinum buckling, and gold ultra-alloy fittings and propulsion system (and for flourish, some ivory satin tassels hanging from the pullstraps). I can't imagine what happened to them...

[a CCRRRRAAAAAAAAAACKKK!BOOOOM! CCRRRRAAAAAAAAAACKKK!BOOOOM! is heard as the blur of something that looks suspiciously gibbon-y passes by inches overhead, trailing some pretty after-effects that look suspiciously ivory-y and satin-y and tassel-y]

Oh...I shall be back...in a little while... [walks off, sliding the Higgs Bosonic Hunting Cannon over his shoulder, the site and targeting modules un-collapsing from the barrel, already searching and set out of habit to "Target: gibbon"]
