Cheese section- pssh. The liquor selection is OFF THE HOOK.

My favorite is Mars Cheese Castle right off 94 just before Kenosha. The only place I can consistently find my favorite candy, Sweet's cinnamon bears.

Damn, you beat me to it.

The problem with astrology is that it doesn't end in an -ism. If it did, we could reunite it with its sister philosophies - racism and sexism - and have it thoroughly condemned by society at large.

I can't believe they actually still print this stuff in the newspaper every day. Can you imagine if you looked up from your crossword and there was a sidebar saying, "Jewish: This is a good month for you. You will lend money to many people and collect a lot of interest, and your iron grip on the entertainment industry will remain in tact. Don't sweat the small stuff when others question your militant Zionism." Or, "Woman: Today is a 4. As a member of the weaker and less rational sex, you may experience several emotional breakdowns today. Try not to think too hard about politics or science, and things should start looking up tomorrow." Or, "Black: You tend to be lazy and dimwitted, but it's time to start taking some initiative. Start by hijacking someone's car today."

Why she can't just take credit for her own bitchiness is beyond me.
I think I'm pretty good about taking credit for mine.

It's important to own one's inner... see you next Tuesday.

Because she's always right, and always has been.










Just ask her.

Plz. First of all, I was joking around with you. Second, I love how it's always the biggest ***** who accuse me of "always being right", when they know they are "always right" just as much as I am if not more, or else it wouldn't bother them. I believe I've apologized several times on this board when I haven't been right.
Also, it's hilarious that it's always the biggest bitches who call me a bitch. Oh, the irony.

Second, I have the decorum to place people who bug me on ignore, so as to minimize conflict. But those same people seem to keep me off of their ignore list no matter how much they don't like me, ostensibly to take every opportunity to try to insult me, to bring as much negativity to the board as they possibly can. Practically following me around to insult me, it seems. I could be flattered they are seemingly so fascinated with me that they go out of their way to address me - but instead I just think they're pathetic, and wonder why they waste so much time on something they don't like.

Third - I always talk about astrology, and everyone is certainly entitled to their opinion, but to dismiss something when you obviously know very little about it is odd. For instance, I've never had lobster, so I certainly wouldn't presume to say I don't like it. You know, since I know nothing about how it tastes? And if you did know more, you would know that the horoscopes in the newspaper aren't really what astrology is about.

Fourth, I wasn't using astrology to make an excuse, I was using it as a tool, a web of language, to explain an aspect of my behavior. And I was always talking about my astrological aspects, that are a part of me, which is hardly deflecting responsibility for my behavior. In fact, it is the opposite, I ascribed behaviors to myself. I simply used astrological terms to describe them. Which you would have already realized and understood if you had used your logic and reading comprehension skills, instead of your reactionary and insulting ones.

amber, I get slammed for the same thing! Whenever I goof around, people think I'm sincere about something negative & they bristle. Then when I am serious, they just shrug & go, "He's insane."

So I just troll.

I've never thought you were insane....

Is this where we sigh and lament about being so unfairly misunderstood? Okay, done.

I must not be considered to have much of a sense of humour, because it seems even when I say something with tongue firmly planted in cheek -- or try to use humour to diffuse a tense situation -- someone mistakes my intentions and thinks the comment was meant in a harsh way.

Oh well, the world keeps on turning!

Any MORE song titles you'd like to merge together to make a coherent sentence??

You need to use more of these:

I think you have a great sense of humor. And I still maintain that you're the Ledge's best "Peacekeeper."

I thought if anyone would appreciate two Peter Green references in a row, it'd be you, bud!

The important thing to me is that we don't blame the medium; it isn't language or message boards or typefonts or my ISP that is at fault for a ****ed-up message. It's the fault of the recipient of that message!

Say I say to all you recipients of posts (which is just about all of us, no?) to GO BACK & REREAD THE POST & PAY ATTENTION to RHETORICAL ELEMENTS & TONE & STANCE & all that other stuff that separates the literate from the subliterate.

AND STOP BLAMING THE POSTER for not making himself clear!!

Now this is true except in those cases in which the poster really did **** it up. But since that doesn't describe either me or you, Jonathan Stew, we have nothing to worry about on our end.

Maybe that's the problem! I try to use those little guys sparingly.


EDIT: I had to remove some of my emoticons -- vBulletin yelled at me for going over the limit (which, apparently, is 10)!

Why, thank you, kind lady!

I was searching for a way to put some Lindsey Buckingham song titles in my response for you, but couldn't quite make it work.
