The Isolated Blurt Thread VI: The 6th Nonsense

[Laurel]

Hi Butters

Some rule/tradition or another has been broken, bad juju apparently. That and perceived height.

No need to .

I posted here for the reason I do most non-essential things - because it's fun. When non-essential things become unfun, I stop doing them.

I know some come here to get into pissing contests. I don't really have any interest in conflicts.

Multiple Blurt threads happening and people PMing to ask which is the "right" one - and telling me I should close the others to prevent confusion, or whatever - puts me in the role of cop/teacher/asshole-authoritarian. I don't want to be that person. I don't need the stress or the hassle.

So, you all do your thing, and enjoy it.

this place ain't a democracy, so the lady in charge can change her mind as and when she likes. i've no quibble there. there are those people, though, who like precision, and order, and don't handle changes out of the blue so easily leaves 'em all discombobulated.

Sounds like your describing Sheldon from ...what is the name of that show? It eludes me now.

If you want to sub-contract it, I'm available.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

 

[snugglestruggle]

The Chief has spoken! No bad Juju , carry on.

What did I miss? I spent some quality time at the DMV.

That's it! Yes, funny show. I should watch it more often. TY

 

[neci]

It wasn't a dream or a hallucination.

Why do I still feel crazy?

Byron The Usurper attempted to purloin the IsoBlurt thread naming honors, and was bitch-slapped rather mercilessly for his presumption.

Other than that, just another day in paradise.

Neci's a bit blue, Pink's a bit, umm, mauve, and everyone else is peachy.

 

[gotsnowgotslush]

It is a free-for-all. Be free!

Every year at this time, every stockholder in America is deluged by corporate Annual Reports and proxy statements. Every day, there are three or four in the mailbox.

I swear the fuckers do it on purpose. When you're assaulted by a barrage of this magnitude, NOBODY has the time (or the desire) to read all that goddamn fine print where managements inform you that they're going to steal the company and boatloads of money from you by issuing themselves scads of stock options.


Fuck 'em. I vote against ALL stock option plans.

A version of this Ode Of Remembrance forms the epitaph on my grandmother's gravestone. It is, of course, taken from Lawrence Binyon's For The Fallen.


As you well know, it was used widely on memorials for World War I veterans and casualties.

I'm a little grape-ish.

you would be a bad mod. trust me on this.

 

[Sean]

you would be a bad mod. trust me on this.

What??? I'd be brilliant. I am, after all, universally loved on the forum.

 

[thør]

"Universally loved" is code.

 

[pointless]

you asked therefore you'd be bad at it.

and that is why i hate mods. i've seen many decent posters ruined by the incredibly tiny amount of power the being a mod brings. it's sad really.

Actually I'd be a bad mod not because I'd go all jackboot on the forum but because I'm too fucking lazy.
