Glad to know you've laid out the ground rules, there, E.

Who p1$$ed in your Cheerios, anyway? One of the key adjectives in the description of this Forum is "light-hearted". Get over yourself.

Oh, and don't forget to correct Micheal's spelling while you're at it. Sheesh.

philhege:

I don't think he meant anything... after all, he stuck out his tongue at the end. I think it was more of a poke poke nudge nudge at Mufasa.

Oh, and you mis-spelled Michael.



poke poke wink wink nudge nudge know what I mean? ;-)

A few bits missing in his byte
Speaking EBCDIC in an ASCII world

A few letters short of a keyboard
A few volts shy of a circuit

A few brain cells shy of a thought (Oooh... I like that one... just made it up)

philhege,

Get over yourself! If you are allowed to jump in and declare a thread winner, then I am allowed to jump in and declare your declaring invalid.

What I said was completely light-hearted and quite amusing to me.I do at this point believe that you got upset and there was no need for it. Unless you are completely funnin' me with that response (which seemed quite angry), in which case I am fooled hook, line, and sinker. Anyway, sorry about the confusion! No one has drooled, spat, pissed, or otherwise excreted into or contaminated my Cheerios (although I don't believe I actually own any Cheerios at this time).

In my book, arguing about whether the other guy is abiding by the rules is as much light-hearted fun as any other strategy of entertainment-generation.

I often, with my own friends and family, make jokes along these lines. "No, you can't put butter in your mashed potatoes before gravy, because you don't have a pre-gravy butter permit and it's not alternate food deposition order day!" They of course either ignore me, or start arguing. Or make a funny face and then totally ostentatiously do whatever it was they had planned to before I started in on them.

What's off limits in my social circle is making fun of actual mistakes or areas that the person is known to be sensitive about. We all laugh at my brother or me for mispronouncing a word, but we don't laugh at someone else we know for whom English is not a native language.

I know this isn't quite keeping with the thread subject, but one can short of a six pack reminded me of it.

Boss refering to one of his staff:
Well he's certainly the full six pack, but i feel he's missing the wee pastic bit that holds it all together!

And to combine with another thread, perhaps we're just...

I've always liked "smart as" stuff too.
Smart as paint!
But, sticking to the rule...
A few hairs short of a brush!
A few dogs short of a pound.
A few cards short of a deck
A few points short of a score
A few too many of these short of going crazy!
Ha!

I like those ascotta,
