exUte, Waters doesn't really mean this. I appreciate it when you post copyrighted material. It saves me the time of going to another site. Please continue.

I'm happy you bailed at "Aardvark," otherwise I'd think you were like Mark Pluff, a kid in 7th grade who announced to our English class that he was going to read the dictionary over Christmas vacation, a weird promise he actually made good on, resulting in his sporting a perma-wedgie through the remainder of the year. And what happened to the practice of grocery stores in the '60s selling encyclopedias and other book series, with a new volume offered each week? Mom also bought much of our fine china there as well ("This week: gravy boats!"). Our drinking glasses ("The NFL Collection"), on the other hand, came from purchasing full tanks of gas at a station on Castro Valley Boulevard. |

That brings back memories. I chuckle to think of those grade school teachers seeing all of that plagiarized materials in essays from grade-school kids. One thing we learned, however, is that you could put down almost anything and get full credit. They just didn't bother to read most of them.

Exie, in a sense, you're right, as I rarely consider the substance of your posts. This is due to your smug, humorless and self-satisfied message board persona that makes your offerings consistently repugnant. And yes, "smug" and "self-satisfied" can be applied to me and others here (and often are), too. The difference is that we welcome the criticism and enjoy the banter. You're the cranky, mirthless old man on the porch yelling worthless epithets at the kids playing out front. |

I don't know. The writer doesn't seem to know what sanguine means.

I enjoy the banter as well.

I find some behavior dispicable though.......especially coming from the owner of the board. Like calling people racist, posting people's identity. PAC, re: old and cranky..........thanks pot. Being called old by someone much older is comedic. LOL

Mike was speaking in a relative sense. I.e., smart and literate compared to exie. Admittedly, it's not a high threshold. I have some hammers in my garage that might qualify.
