He admitted in the Carter/Gore thread that he posts to piss people off and cares not if people respect him or apparently if they take him seriously. Thus, he is by my understanding of the definition, a troll in that regard.

To wit:

Yea hello, I never "swore" off pissing liberals off...that really is the point right? I just said that I would be more "gentle" in my pissing off approach!

Do you honestly think that I come here, to gain respect from you guys and to appear as a genius? Of course I am going to look like an idiot! Let’s take a look at the people I’m surrounded by here. One "right-winger" amongst many, many "left-wingers" is not going to be well liked! If you think I'm on a desperate mission to seek the approval of those whom I do not even know...you really have no clue.

Yet, he then said, quite inexplicably IMO:

Never presented myself as a victim, just simply stated that I wasn't being taken seriously. Not mad about it. Not crying over it. Just said it was pointless!

To be fair, the whole thread should be read for a better concept of the context. But, that is what he said in direct response to questions like the one you posed.

I guess you "get to" him because your posts are so disingenuous and flippant and that you usually post inflammatory comments designed to annoy people and then have this "Who me, what'd I do?" faux-sheepish attitude all the while posting dubious material that is rarely backed up by facts, more often supported by opinions of right-wing nut jobs.

Hmmmmmmm (unless you meant ummmmmmmmmm)

What do you mean, an African or European Swallow?To begin with, I needed basic kinematic data on African and European swallow species.

South African Swallow
(Hirundo spilodera)

European Swallow
(Hirundo rustica)

Although 47 of the 74 worldwide swallow species are found in Africa, only two species are named after the continent: the West African Swallow (Hirundo domicella) and the South African Swallow (Hirundo spilodera), also known as the South African Cave Swallow.

Since the range of the South African Swallow extends only as far north as Zaire, I felt fairly confident that this was the non-migratory African species referred to in previous discussions of the comparative and cooperative weight-bearing capabilities of African and European swallows.

Kinematic data for both African species was difficult to find, but the Barn or European Swallow (Hirundo rustica) has been studied intensively, and kinematic data for that species was readily available.

It’s a simple question of weight ratios

A 54-year survey of 26,285 European Swallows captured and released by the Avian Demography Unit of the University of Capetown finds that the average adult European swallow has a wing length of 12.2 cm and a body mass of 20.3 grams.4

Because wing beat frequency and wing amplitude both scale with body mass,5 and flight kinematic data is available for at least 22 other bird species,6 it should be possible to estimate the frequency (f ) and amplitude (A) of the European Swallow by a comparison with similar species. With those two numbers, it will be possible to estimate airspeed (U).

I like them frozen and with salt as well, but they have to be strawberry! In fact, I love any frozen strawberry drink. I even make them put strawberrys in my Pina Coladas when I order them in restaurants or bars. One time, though, they just put the strawberry syrup in... and didn't even bother to stir the drink to at least make it look like it was real strawberries.

I don't wear sweaters. Here in SoCal, it rarely gets hot enough for it. I have a suede jacket that I occasionally wear.

When I was in Vegas, I bought some Born slip on shoes and they are the most comfortable things I've worn since the pair of Mephisto lace-ups I had back in the mid-90's. What's the most comfy shoe you've ever worn?

Yes, cashmere is the best! Unfortunately, my pocket book can't afford it very often. I only own a couple cashmere sweaters. I actually like chenille sweaters as well -- it's so soft! It can look kinda cheap, though, depending on how it's made. It usually doesn't leave lint in my belly button, though, so that's a plus!

The smug cynicism that pervaded every second of that movie was too distracting for me to really notice anything else. By the time the grand finale came with an overabundance of pebble-like tits and full-on bush taking up each inch of the screen, I was questioning Altman's sanity. He's surely made some dead-on-arrival duds in his career, but he must have been more hopped up than Whitney after a weekend of freebasing with Bobby to think that there was anything remotely noteworthy or interesting in that bore of a movie. The best scene was when Basinger went ape**** after all of the Twiggy clones paraded out onto the catwalk fully nude. I think she summed up the audience's feelings towards the whole affair...and maybe that was the point.

The thing about cashmere for me is I want to buy it as soon as I see it in the retail stores. But, I have found $1,000 sweaters on sale for $50 at Marshalls or TJ Maxx before. So, I usually check there first. In fact, I spent like $200 at TJ Maxx the other day and figured it was like $2,000 retail :eek:

But I do like strawberry dacquiris! The banana ones aren't bad either, as long as they use real bananas. I've had them with "banana flavoring", and they taste nasty!

So, speaking of getting sick on a drink... are there any drinks you're now turned off of after getting sick? Or even foods? I have a friend who can't eat bow tie shaped noodles anymore, because she got sick after eating a dish with them once!

Yeah, I definitely have to find them on sale in order to afford them. I used to buy stuff like that from Overstock.com, but I'm boycotting them now cause they sold me a bad camera, and wouldn't give me a refund or honor my warranty until I got the BBB involved!

I had a Chenile blanket once that I loved. But it had the fringe on it, which my cats liked to play with, and they destroyed it.

Oh yes, I've had the chocolate kind! I like the brown ones, sometimes they make it with clear liquer and it just isn't as good. I ordered one in Vegas at the asian place in Caesar's and it was a good conversation starter, hehe. Soo good!!!

You gotta try the raz marg, you won't regret it! Oh I want one now! Hehe.

Yes, this conversation is definitely making me want to go home right now and have a frozen margarita of some sort! In fact, work is dead today. I'm in the Dallas area, which will only feel minor effects of the storm. But everyone is using the hurricane as an excuse to leave early today. So I think I'll take off as well and have that margarita!

BRILLIANT :nod:

Sandy Dennis was, perhaps the best player in that, but they were all really good!!!!!!!

I want to know when the hell it's going to be on DVD. Criterion could do a kick-ass job with it like they've done for every other Altman release. It's a brilliant movie. I *loved* Dennis, but I thought Karen Black was equally as good. Cher wasn't too shabby herself and it's a hoot watching early Kathy Bates.

That's one of those long lost movies that needs the DVD treatment. That and "In the Spirit" with Elaine May and Marlo Thomas; I'd do a jig for both of those.

Right now, I'm eating a huge hot fudge sundae. The ice cream is too frozen, though, and just gave me a brain freeze.

Anyone else hate when that happens? What other pet peeves do ya'll have?You rule...

Yep, that seems to be the concensus! I'm home now and pouring myself a vodka and cranberry! :nod:

... P.S. I loved your last signature, with the bumper sticker. I almost bought that same sticker several months back. It describes my feelings so well!

I never really got into Robert Altman's stuff.

Same here. :wavey:

You should give "3 Women" a try, it's unlike anything he's ever done. Very disturbing and sinister. Shelley Duvall and Sissy Spacek are fantastic in it.

On the rocks, no salt. Preferably, a top shelf type margarita with a shot of tequila on top.


Mmmmmm.... Now you're talking! *licks lips*

I had 2 (ok, 4) last night. Patron Silver all the way baby! :nod:

Another good one!

I also hate when when I bite the inside of my lip while I'm eating. Then for the next week or so, I continue to bite the same spot everytime I eat, till I have a huge, painful ulcer that won't go away and continues to make my life miserable ... kinda like this administration.

I just did that! :laugh:
