What is your Karma to Post ratio? - Page 4

Your calculational scheme may make me look small, but the thing I love about posting here is, and I cannot explain why, but since I have been posting here... I have grown two inches.

And I m not talking about how tall I am.

"You mean you don't get cash? You're kiddin', aren't you?"

I don't kid about cash - or money - or doughnuts ....

Oi - fowl play .....

I've noticed all my karma are for unutterably silly posts. I believe that says more about this community than it does about me. Exactly what that statement might be I refuse to speculate, not being a mental health professional. I suspect those who feel the urge to give me karma should continue to do so, as it likely provides an outlet for feelings and behaviors that might otherwise be channeled into unhealthful and anti-social avenues. Yes... I post to protect puppies, small children, and your loved ones.

You're just being picky and this is not a chicken joke, fowl play my a## ....

Once I did get a "cream filled doughnut" with karma on top, very tasty and fresh.

I think that's a broad generalisation, and only actually applies to goldfish pillow hand-me-my-cake some of caramel us.

I eat jellyfish for breakfast.

Now I've gotten karma for a few silly posts; but, not too many. Most of it comes from early work on the Wiki (my first karma was for Wiki work) and ebook posting.

it's about time you got back, where on earth have you been ? and i mean that literally. i'm glad to see you escaped (unscathed ?) the multi-dimensional alternate universe tesseract commonly referred to as "The Airport".

Last week I was a friend. Now, I'm part of a community. What's next, the gulag?
