Well, leisure activities are much easier to enjoy when nobody's pissed all over them, Rivers. It's annoying to have someone crap all over something you enjoy.
So you're not into watersports, everyone's got a different sexual agenda and can we please drop the reference to shit? Quite apart from the fact that you're offending people who enjoy having their things crapped on you're practically feeding the Glenn's.
I'm not generally big on my own skills but reading that paragraph I can't help but feel that I am surprisingly good at being a bit of a loser.
I'm more concerned that the colour chart indicates the little blue man is the same species as the big dinosaur on the end. Undercover Camouflage Stealth Saurians! Moving among us! Some of them eating our...um....foliage! Herbivore bastards!
I can and will eat anything in a zesty lemon-butter sauce with some garlic. I'd eat my own head in a zesty lemon-butter sauce with some garlic. Head picatta, I'd call it, and throw on some capers.
Ah, c'mon; he's clearly on vacation, waving into a disposable camera, less than five seconds away from what will clearly be the greatest contribution to the family scapbook for generations to come.
Leaving the dinosaurs for the rest of us and our sauces.
If there is one thing that i've learnt from the British tv adverts of my youth, it's that when someone is waving at you they are most probably drowning. Same principle here i'd say.
...Mark you, the delicious stream of sweet creamy lulz from the "Christianity - the end point of Paganism?" thread continues unabated. The "C.S. Lewis thinks I'm edgy!" post was especially diverting.
I genuinely think that's an interesting thread. I think that the exchange of views and the broadly different perceptions of Catholicism, Jesus and the relationships of other religions to Christianity expressed in the thread are fascinating. I also don't think that such an exchange could have happened if it hadn't been provoked by calvin so in a sense I'm grateful for his presence. The interesting thing about Christianity from the perspective of an atheist is that very little that anyone says is wrong because the entire concept is so doubtful so it becomes a study of faith as an idea rather than a study of detail. In that sense the thread has been increasingly rewarding as it's continued. Having said that I don't think calvin actually understands Catholicism very well, which is also interesting, Megatron's post was very valid. Basically I've really, really enjoyed reading the discussion.
I've found Calvin's refusal, or inability, or whatever it is to engage really tooth-grating at times, but other people's responses have been really interesting.
I agree and if I didn't feel that the response he provoked had been proportionate, and that everyone in the thread had answered his posts in really great ways he would be pissing me off a lot more than he has.
It's kinda hard not to hear the public outcry this time.
And it is a bit annoying when one acknowledges I made a valid question, and still one fails to respond, I have to admit it. Oh well, c'est le Barbelith.
There's nothing like spending a healthy chunk of one's morning earnestly trying to communicate with someone only to return home in the afternoon to a PM box overflowing with verbal abuse. Still, at least I'm pissing off the right people.
Use of the PM system to send abusive messages is a banning issue. Just in case anybody had forgotten. I may not be fussed about contributing much to the board, but I'm more than happy to email Tom with any profiles that need booting.
