I like this forum. It lacks a front door.

This doorless aspect reminds me of scenes in Beetle Juice.

Now see what you've done? You went and made me laugh.

Great clip, ren.

Now, this is the ultimate in: Nonsense

Sawdust,

I have to say I agree with your assessment of my politics, but I sure wonder about the term "vanilla." Smiler

You don't seem particularly political to me. I think you come here because you have the hots for Ren. Apologies to your husband.


A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.

Sawdust,

Your machismo is charming at one level.

Perhaps you may appreciate, in another life, the one in which you become a feminist, that my intellectual curiosity preceded my strong friendship with ren.

My apologies to your wife, but your attractions are sort of plodding and predictable. Wink

But Kate, I am a feminist. I'm attracted to Ren as well, in a manly sort of way. You needn't apologize to my wife. She's used to my peccadilloes.

How about a drink, Don? It must be the cocktail hour somewhere.

Sawdust,

I wish you had been just a wee bit more combative, because I had a comeback involving Ernest Hemingway, and now you'll just have to wait for another opportunity to be bullheaded.

Morning ren. Smiler

Are you hitting on me?

Sure, big guy. Cocktails it is.

Kate, that's the first time anyone ever threatened me with Ernest Hemingway. I guess there really is a first time for everything.

Jeez, I didn't know I was so attractive to feminists.

Needless to say, perhaps, but Kate can be very creative with her derogatory analogies. Some folks think of her as obtuse, but those of us who know her see that's she's much more abstruse.

By the way, Kate,

Sue, I kind of liked the Lounge, with the one-way door. Maybe we can get it back sometime. Smiler

After all, if I have something abstruse to say, it's nice having a lounge to say it in. Big Grin

OMG - I haven't laughed so hard in weeks! This thread is priceless. It's this kind of high wit humor that makes communication worth while.

Sawdust - you are a hoot! There are few who can keep up with Kate. I love it.

Anyway - I just wanted to say thanks, guys. I needed this. This reconfirms my belief in the awesome power of hardy belly laughs.

Slab,

If a buck in the forest loses his antlers, and no one is there to hear them fall, has he actually lost them?

Oh, most funny. Cool

Regarding the Buck...I'm sure that he has actually lost them, but it only registers if someone (a human of course) witnesses the loss.
