1/X: Deplorable Threads Made By Great Lit Members...

[blobfish]

I've never really thought much about it. Ferreting out details of posters behind the personas is a schtick I don't find especially entertaining. I'd much rather just get to know people.

I've never really cared much either. If someone is fun to talk to, they can be who they want.

In blobfish's defense, a college or university degree is not exclusive in one being well read and culturally literate.


That too. I think.

True, which is why I used the phrase I did, rather than something like "academic background." I know more about prehospital emergency medicine than I do about any degree subject I've studied.

I do feel a little cheated when it turns out that someone has been grossly misrepresenting himself. If kbate turns out to be a teenage frat boy or Sean a nun from Texas, I'll be bummed out after I stop laughing.

I think Im one of the rare people that likes blob most of the time.

However, if his age is what it is, then that's too close to the eww factor for me.

When I went to college a few years ago, late in life, most of it was a rehash of what I already learned in HS. Anything else was what I had already learned outside of school. Higher education was simply a matter of my knowledge being transcribed to a degree.

You don't have to look at his penis...

I don't know what you studied or how old you are, but I learned a lot in college in my teens and then again when I was studying sciences a few years ago.

I do too. Most of the time.

I don't believe it for a moment.

I kind of cant help it, he slaps the thing in my face all the time.

And here I thought you liked that sort of thing. I have been deceived.

Yeah, if it's someone you're talking with on a personal level, then you want them to be honest, but when it's just reading and replying to posts, that's not so important.

Why? Some sausage is better fresh.

It has to be attached to someone I'm involved with.

On one level or another.

 

[blobfish]

I do too. Most of the time.

See, that's what confuses me. I've posted personalized pictures. If I were fake, this would have to be a Karen Kraft situation.

Preferably the lower level.

I just turned 46. Never got the knack of science, but know quite a bit about biology on animals and their habits since I could remember walking. Particularly horses, cattle (especially bulls), and dogs. I was raised in/around it. Not much about a farm I didn't already know when I was in my 20s. I started college at 40. By then I had 3 kids.They were 21, 20, and 17 then and I was finally in the midst of a divorce. My last year in college was with my youngest one, now a Veterinarian.Got the Associates in Livestock management because the technicalities and monies part of it in proper were my shortcomings as a younger man. Vets, AKC enthusiasts, and knowledgeable equestrians are ones that sought me out years ago, and starting to again because of my talent with certain animals and how to train/care/house them. The former is natural; the latter is an acquired formality.

Peregrinator, I wanted to add to my post above. That I was thoroughly and utterly impressed with the young minds I encountered when I went to college at age 40. Frightened at first, but truly enjoyed it.
