ZOMG! First! Ordinal me!
First troll is first.
HOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11!!!ZOMG!! Where’s HOW?
She’s not a troll. She’s a mermaid. Bitter is a troll.
And douche is a douche, you douche.
And a horse is a horse, of course, of course.
But no one can talk to a horse, of course!
Ohhhhhhhhhhohohoho, Wilburrrrrrrr!!
Why are we douching a horse?
Do you really want to ride a horse that’s having that not so fresh feeling?
So, got a Facebook page yet?
Charro, you’re psychic! I just mentioned him and Mabs getting facebook on another lol!
And later on down on this one, I believe.
Well if it weren’t for the horrendous snowstorm knocking out my power, I might start one. Power came back on today… at about 9 AM… while I was asleep… stupid power…
I’m sure. You always have an excuse.
I’ll show you! I’ll show you all!!
If the stinking firewall allowed it, I’d just make one right now, there’s literally nothing going on at work right now..
To bad safeweb isn’t free anymore. It’s a site thats supposed to let you browse the internet without risk of catching viruses, but is mostly useful for getting past firewalls and filters.
Yeah, the “firewall”. Psssssssh.
Bah, you just wait and see Charro, before you know it, you’ll be having to fend me off not only on here, but FB as well! My iron fist shall know no boundaries!
Well, I do like a good fisting.
Then I’ll make sure to warm it up first?
Is that the sexy response? I’m new to this fisting thing..
What’s this ‘facebook’ thing you keep talking about? *runs away to repair computer*
No! Get back here! *throws facebook boomerang at Mabs*
I think if I were a teacher at a high school, I would use that to get the class to be quiet.
And here I was wondering why you didn’t have a steady girl.
I always assumed he was saving himself for Janie.
Well, I never claimed to be stranger than average… And I do love doing embarrassing things in public on purpose. Things like Trigger Happy TV undertook.
I got the mall trip and fall into The Gap.
In Elevators I stand in the corner, facing the corner, meowing intermittently. OR, I place a box in the corner of the elevator and ask passengers if they hear something ticking….
My favorite was I made a guy leave a bathroom stall next to me when I put my hand under the stall and said “Little Help?” he handed me a roll of toilet paper, and I said “No man, Do you have a highlighter?”
*giggles* Wow, if Jane didn’t already have a claim on you I’d be all over you right now. Another fin one, next time you go to the ATM, when the money comes out yell “I won! I won! Third time this week!”
Oooo, that’s a good one. But the only ATM from my bank branch around here is a drive thru… I don’t get much of a chance for anti social interaction at the ATM
My best one ever: college campuses abound with recruiters for religions. Two women were chatting me up because they felt ‘God had sent them to save me.’ After explaining that I didn’t believe in heaven (then had to gently point out that no, I didn’t believe in the Bible — that would of necessity indicate a belief in heaven), they asked what I thought happened when I died. I told them that my mom told me if I was very good I might be reincarnated as a house cat. They asked if I believed that, and I did the whole wide-eyed innocent and answered, “I believe everything my mother says. Don’t you?”
Great thing is that my mom actually did say that once when we were talking about my incredibly spoiled cat.
I don’t play tricks on religious fundies… that’s like beated up a physically handicapped person. It’s just too easy and feels wrong.
A mermaid is a mythological aquatic creature with a female human head and torso and the tail of a fish. Mermaids have a broad representation in folklore, literature, and popular culture.
The word is a compound of mere, the Old English word for “sea”, and maid, a woman. The male equivalent is a merman.
Much like sirens, mermaids would sometimes sing to people and gods and enchant them, distracting them from their work and causing them to walk off the deck or run their ships aground. Other stories have them squeezing the life out of drowning men while attempting to rescue them. They are also said to take humans down to their underwater kingdoms. In Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid, it is said that they forget that humans cannot breathe underwater, while others say they drown men out of spite.[citation needed]
The sirens of Greek mythology are sometimes portrayed in later folklore as mermaid-like; in fact, some languages use the same word for both bird and fish creatures, such as the Maltese word ‘sirena’. Other related types of mythical or legendary creatures are water fairies (e.g., various water nymphs) and selkies, animals that can transform themselves from seals to humans.[citation needed]
I like that citation is needed on an entry about mermaids.
They probably want a photograph.
Preferably without the inappropriate sea-shell bra!
Well. They chafe.
And real mermaids don’t have to worry about gravity, after all–buoyancy!
Bouyancy is one of my favorite words… it’s completely innocent, yet somehow, there’s twinge of gutter-thought in there.
in this context, more buoyancy means bigger boobies. twinges my guttural thought too. bouncy bouncy bouyancy. i feel like eating at Hooters tonight.
They have good wings there… among other things.
Ah, Max, find yourself a nice lady. Then you don’t have to go out to look at boobies.
There’s history to that Mabs…. I won’t go into it.
But who’s to say that I don’t find nice ladies?
Oh, not saying that at all. But I was assuming that you didn’t keep one of them since you were going off to look at boobies elsewhere.
Bad experiences can sour people, I know. But there is nothing like having it at home (if my husband ever friggin’ didn’t have to work 60+ hours per week!).
BTW, love you, Agent Max. :smoochie face:
What’s not to love about my Max? I’m surprised no real life girls have snatched him up and tattooed “property of” on his butt.
It’s happened before.. I don’t go into details on here because any subject as close to my heart would only be used as fuel for trolls should I share it here.
Now, if BOTH of you were on facebook, you could safely share said experiences without fear of trolls….hint hint.
For what I assume are obvious reasons, that’s not real high on my list right now.
That’s it then. NO SINGING Charro!
*crashes computer while humming along*
Ma’am, we’ll need to see your license. Have you been drinking anything this afternoon?
It’s the mermaid’s fault!!!
*sigh* That’s what they all say. Here, blow into this breathalyzer.
*texts Cpt. Wow*
ZOMG MABS JST CRSHD HR PUTER!
But it was the mermaid’s fault!!!
(Actually, if the Odyssey is correct, the mermaid’s (or siren’s) song only mesmerized the men, so my excuse is…um…invalid. Shoot.)
(but if you’re mesmerized you aren’t going to be paying attention to things such as steering and those big sharp point rocks up ahead)
That’s why they crashed the ship!
Miley Cyrus’ music has that same effect on people.
*texts Max*
ZOMG THATS MY JOB!
Hey, wait a minute, that’s not a breathalyzer…
A rock, the sand, the shade of the tree growing on the side of the mountain at dawn
You moan you grumble in every sound beneath the curtains behind the door
You are the seldom, the more and more, the maybe later and the not quite yet
The floatsam cast upon the shore, the mesmerizing tune of a siren song.
And you’re the one, the only one, who can appease my trouble, my torment,
When all sense seems gone, when my life feels lost.
The sacred and the profane, a seashell in the sand, the crackling of the rain, the underhand.
*crashes her computer into Mabs’ computer*
Thanks nucky!

I hear that someone here at PK sells screen protectors for your monitor.
I hope you’re using only under age children in your sweat shop JAC, otherwise, On behalf of the Immoral Business Bureau, we might have to citation you.
lol. the screen protectors are actual little children that stand near your monitor and in the case of a coffee mishap, the small children lunge in front of the monitor to protect it. very lucrative black market business. Agent Maxwell’s on the case, so justice shall prevail.
The guy on the looks like Dave Matthews…
Hmmm, maybe a bit. If Dave Matthews was fat and a cop.
Oops! The guy on the right! Sorry guys!
The guy on the left looks like Eric Bana.
Lol this is a good one.
I could have sworn the guy on the left looked like Henry Rollins, without tattoos.
You do know that technically he could be PART of the “lower Taxes” group, as the proposed health care plans in the US Congress had MASSIVE medicare coverage and funding cuts, the latter to the point that eventually medicare could pay for very few people, forcing them into insurance plans.
For such a supposedly “sock it to the insurance company” idea, it sure would cause the sale of a a LOT more insurance – that’s why insurance stocks went UP when it looked like it was going to pass, and the biggest insurance agency in the US (AARP) endorsed it without a heartbeat.
“endorsed it without a heartbeat”. Hmm. Well, I didn’t think that insurance agencies had a heart, anyway!

Kinda funny if it were possible… But the “lower taxes now” bunch aren’t in jail!!! The mentality of “the lower taxes now” bunch is the same mentality that keeps u out of jail.
If I were to play along with this, I would say it’s the mentality of those who don’t belong to “lower taxes now” that keeps the “lower taxes now”-people out of jail. (Presuming we assume “lower taxes now” consists mainly of rich/privileged or people whose main dream and idea is that they will soon be rich and privileged.)
Hey, it’s called
Hey, it’s called A JOKE! That’s what we do here. And to join into your joy-killer argument for a second, if the “Lower taxes now” group were in a protest and the “Medicare for all” crowd were in a counter-protest that got out of hand, members of BOTH groups could wind up in the pokey…get it?
“could” yes, it is possible, but that’s not what usually happens. The “Lower taxes now” group types tend to avoid “out of hand” situations and are typically not “out of hand” type people. If forced into an “out of hand” situation involving the police they usually become the plaintiff and certainly not the defendant as pictured. I don’t see the joy kill in picking on a joke that’s not even funny.
Don’t know how you’re deciding that. Bringing weapons to a rally doesn’t strike me as intended to ‘avoid’ anything.
Yah! Like those dang cops who frickin bring guns everywhere they go! Something should be done about that.
Uh, I’m assuming that’s a joke?
Well if we’re going to assume anyone who brings a weapon with them somewhere has bad intentions, cops are going to have to fall in that category since they’re always carrying guns around. Even *gasp* “off duty.”
Having a trained professional who has had psychological testing even before s/he can enter the Police Academy training system with a side arm that s/he is very unlikely to use is, of course, exactly the same as having a random armed person participating in a vocal and emotional protest. NOT.
Perhaps you are unaware that many states that issue ccw permits require training and a psychological screening before issuing a permit. But since you would like to make police officers the caveat to your sweeping generalization about people who carry weapons that you were extending to a group of people at a rally with someone in attendance carrying a weapon, let’s make another generalization shall we? There are no corrupt police officers, and police officers will always be there to protect you – so don’t you worry one little bit about crime or having to protect yourself or family, and make sure to mock and look down on those who would rather be prepared and don’t like having their right to do so threatened.
*snerk*
You mean like how you were being rude and dismissive to gah?
Just saying…..
Nesting failllllllllll…..
You know, I was answering the person who claimed that the lower tax rally people were less likely to be jailed because they ‘avoided’ that type of situation by pointing out that I didn’t think bringing a weapon to an emotionally charged situation was doing exactly that. He did not say ‘some’ of them; he meant ALL of them. I gave one counter-example. (It was actually a front page lol here, BTW.) Which is sufficient to disprove his point.
You implied that was the same as cops carrying guns. It is not. The concealed carry law restrictions in the many places I live are much less than those for police officers. (I know what they are, BTW.) Obviously there are bad cops (as there are in other groups). Also not something I denied.
I did not say anything about gun control nor did I imply anything about gun control. Nor did I “mock” anyone. I do think bringing a weapon to a public gathering of emotionally charged and often agitated people is a poor decision. I would think so regardless of the purpose of the rally. In fact, if I saw anyone doing so at a rally I was attending, I would leave.
Don’t visit Bike Week in Myrtle Beach. Or Sturgis. Just saying.
I was in Indianapolis during the staging for the Harley 100th anniversary rides and felt totally comfortable. Of course, that was a well-organized group of polite bikers having a great time and not an emotionally charged protest. I’m sure that some of the bikers had concealed weapons, although perhaps not legally as they were planning to cross state lines.
I never said anything about gun control, BTW. Actually, the ccw laws don’t apply to the lol that I remember as it was not concealed. Some places anyone can carry a weapon (excluding certain areas like bars) if it’s not concealed…with absolutely no regulation.
I know someone from NH who would advise ‘don’t visit bike week in Laconia’. Regardless of gun laws or not, they aren’t necessarily a fun time. Laconia raceway had to get aluminum bleachers after the attendees burned the wooden ones two years in a row. (wood originally just because aluminum plus NE winters = cold buttoms). Bleacher-burning ‘partiers’ are not the sort of group I want to hang with, somehow…
My son’s school has metal seating at the football field because a rival school burned the wooden ones. I do believe they caught them and made them pay, however.
Mabs, I would be willing to be a dime to a dollar that that Harley anniversary ride could have reasonably taken on Patton’s 3rd Army.
*confused* Are you saying they probably had a lot of guns? Maybe so, but none were in evidence, and everyone was incredibly well behaved and having a great time. Which was MY point.
And I guarantee it was an emotionally charged public gathering. And that there was most likely more than common handguns there.
Interesting opinion. I was actually there and, for the several hours that I was there, it was not.
But if you’re trying to say that it was also a poor place for people to be carrying around guns, I would agree with that.
I think your emotional charged sensors need realigning. I’ve never seen ANY rally that wasn’t high energy.
And I personally support the 2nd amendment rights of people to keep and bear arms.
I would not consider the two synonymous. There was lots of excitement, but nothing negative or angry.
Maybe your views are biased against certain types of people. Makes it easy to see one side as wrong, in support of your views.
History would show many more people shot and killed at bike events than protests.
Well, I witnessed both, and there was a LOT more anger at the tax rally. If you read the entire thread, I said that I would have the same opinion at any protest rally, regardless of subject. Nor was I mentioning any probabilities or statistics. I was talking about my personal experience. But you can assume that I have some warm spot for Harley people if you like. (Actually that would include my neighbors, and I do quite like them, so there might be some validity to that.)
BTW, I suppose one could consider both events emotional, but one was angry and one just very excited.
“I do think bringing a weapon to a public gathering of emotionally charged and often agitated people is a poor decision. I would think so regardless of the purpose of the rally. In fact, if I saw anyone doing so at a rally I was attending, I would leave.”
I would give you the benefit of the doubt that the Harley Anniversary was a bit more controlled than the average Bike rally. Though I would also say that you missed a lot of it if you think it’s not an easier place to get shot.
And I would remind you of our very own agitated, emotionally charged rallies. The very ones where gun toting, angry shouting men changed the course of a nation, and dare I say, the world. And one of the rights in our Constitution is to replace the government.
I agree with you, that the Constitution is great and gives us many ways to repress aggressive government. But if you think handguns and hunting rifles are a match against tanks and stealth bombers, thats not the part of the constitution that helps overthrow the government, it’s the right to vote and the right to speak, those would give you a much better chance at overthowing the government than the right to bear arms would. just my opinion, and by the way, i’m from TX and we love our guns. I just don’t see it as a political tool, more of something fun to do on the weekend.
Gee, how kind of you to give me the benefit of the doubt for something I actually observed. (Yes, that was sarcasm.)
Also, I never said ‘it’s not an easier place to get shot.” Again, all I was doing was relating my personal experiences.
And I do not need a condescending history lesson from you or anyone else. I never even said anything about gun control. I just observed that I thought it was a poor decision on the man’s part. I am entitled to that opinion, but it doesn’t say any of the things about gun control or ccw permits that you and the other respondent implied it did.
I am sorry, but you are being quite rude in implying that my observations (and I never said they were more than that) were invalid. You were not at either of the events I was speaking of, so to be so dismissive is just plain rude.
Wicket, I apologize. I hope you realize I was just taking longer to answer JAC.
I would think that Iraq is the perfect example of how the right to bear arms is.
And keep in mind, should revolution happen, all the people controlling those tanks ect….. may or may not be on this side or the other. The civil war is a great example of that.
And the individual being armed didn’t necessarily protect the lives of everyone even in the 1700′s. But it did make the opposing side have to change it’s strategy.
You mean like how you were being rude and dismissive to gah?
Just saying…..
Well, that was between us, and we ‘discussed’ it. Has nothing to do with what you said other than in a ‘Teacher, she did it first’ kind of way. Which is what I expected. (Yes, now I AM being rude. At least I admit it.)
And I was just adding to the conversation, right up to the point you got rude. And it wasn’t just your last reply.
I tried to add some information to the conversation, and I wasn’t being rude. But you were. I did try to make you challenge your own thinking. Maybe see past the bias you have against some people.
Whats weird is it seems you guys agree on the policies, just disagree on whether it’s more safe at a bike rally or a ‘emotionally charged’ political protest.
So Wicket, you got a piece of white paper or a pine sprig in that thar hat? /
the only thing in my hat is a glorious mullet
btw, click my name, thats my pro-right-to-bear-arms pic. taken a couple months ago at my friends place in Leander, TX. We just finished shooting for the day, and before we put all the weapons back in the car I wanted a pic.
Seems like the mocking and looking down is coming from your side of the argument. Just saying.
Looks like both of them to me.
Well.. considering you weren’t even in the conversation and jumped in to antagonize Mabs because someone else made a comment about gun control… And that she was relating personal experiences and you were noting them as invalid, having not even been there…
Yeah JAC… you were being very condescending.
You could just apologize for once, and back down.
And in the name of fairness I think this can all be sorted out as such: Gah used hyperbole (and a very non-sensical version at that) in response to mabs’ point. From there, it spiraled into Gah basically making assertions based off a very, very vague statement, and from there, ran with it.
Mabs began defending herself against things she never said, which of course, came off as mocking and condescending. Then you came in JAC… and began reinforcing Gah on his use of assertion and hyperbole. Meanwhile, Mabs was having to defend herself against opinions she never even stated… Now while she may have come off as condescending, when someone is saying that you believe something, and in reality, you don’t and never said anything to imply that, wouldn’t you come off as condescending? You’re literally left with nothing but “You don’t know what you’re talking about” Because the person doesn’t. Mabs is allowed to have her views, Gah is allowed and so you are you. But I will not allow anyone… anyone to just say that someone thinks something when they gave no inference that they do.
I hope to defend you someday in the future… just so ya know.
wow. well put agent. you said what i meant. with so many more words though.
Actually, I wasn’t being condescending. I was just joking in the biker rally thing. Then Mabs got defensive, when there was no need to. And, it seemed to me, looking at things from a biased point of view. I thought a different perspective would be informative.
Food for thought.
Mabs was already on the defensive though, being as that Gah was shoving words down her throat.
I think it would be expected when someone continues a debate that you didn’t even start, that they would remain on the defensive.
You can’t jump into a wrestling match in a tag team and expect your opponent to smile and make you tea just cause you haven’t hit them yet
Now I know that analogy could be stretched, to the point of being irrelevant, but the point remains, when someone’s on the defensive and you pick up the other side of the debate, especially when the debate stared off with our opponent got blindsided to begin with, it’s rather excusable to continue the defense.
Unless you think she should have just rolled over and said “Ok fine, you win, that’s what I think!”
Like I said in the beginning, looks like to me that it was both of them.
Eh, mabs made a sarcastic joke. Gah took it as actual doctrine of ideas… If you can fault mabs for being defensive about that, then I expect you to never be defensive when someone does it to you. That’s all I’m saying.
Chalk it up to a no fault thing. It was just commentary. Look at it like “rubbin is racin.”
Just remember. Guns don’t kill people. THE IDIOTS WHO CARRY THEM DO.
Guns don’t kill people. Gaping holes in vital organs kill people.
That is an excellent point.
Gaping holes in organs don’t kill people, the organs shutting down kills people…
And monkeys. Monkeys with guns kill people.
DAMN THEM!! DAMN THEM ALL TO HELLLLL!!!!!
Actually, the person you replied to used words like “tend to,” “typically,” and “usually” – we could ask him, but I’m not sure that automatically means “he meant ALL of them.” But I guess I am guilty of the same knee-jerk reaction since your post certainly came off as generalization to me, and you apparently didn’t mean it to be. Also, that very adult “NOT” at the end of your somewhat snarky reply to me reinforced what I thought you were implying about people who carry weapons, and I’ll use that rather mocking post as one example sufficient to disprove your claim that you didn’t “‘mock’ anyone.” And while I don’t come here every day, or even spend much time online every day for that matter, I’ll take your word for it that there was a front page lol regarding the gun-toting rally attender. The whole matter wasn’t something I thought too hard about, but if I’m not mistaken that person(s) was just trying to merge their objection to gun control with the actual purpose of the rally to bring attention to something they felt was important (whether it was appropriate or not.)
If I saw someone carrying a weapon at a rally I wouldn’t jump to conclusions, it could just be an off duty police officer with all of that superior emotional control and training
. In fact I wouldn’t worry about it unless the person was acting strangely. Since I carry a gun myself, and know many people who do, the sight of someone carrying does not bother me. I would wager the vast majority of people who carry legally (and people in general) are not whack-jobs who fly off the handle and mow down crowds of people at the slightest aggravation.
Bah, nesting fail.
Well, of course I was being sarcastic because you were comparing average citizens to police officers carrying guns. But you the one who went off on gun control, which really had nothing to do with the actual protesters. I was just using that as one example. I could just as easily have used the ones here that were dangerously and illegally standing on medians to protest, but I couldn’t point to a picture of that.
Having lived places where anyone who wants to can carry an unconcealed weapon, I would feel concern that someone feels the necessity for doing so in a large, public gathering, especially such an emotionally charged one.
I never said anything about anyone being a whack job. You can, however, google and find cases where someone with a gun decided to ‘act as police’ and caused injuries/death. Someone here, with a ccw permit, started shooting as robbers were fleeing. Fortunately he didn’t injure anyone, but he very easily could have. There were some injuries to cars.
(He was a lousy shot, but then, most people are under pressure. I mean, I’m a fine shot at the range, but I wouldn’t shoot at a running person in a street with other people around.) I’m sure he considered his actions totally reasonable. None of the people in the street agreed with him, for some strange reason.
So who pays for the damages in that situation? The bad shot vigilante or the robber he was shooting at? Or the owner of the bullet ridden cars?
I don’t remember seeing that. Problem is, it’s front page when there’s the shooting, but then it gets stuck somewhere way back in the paper if they print it at all. I would hope the shooter and the robber both. (I do remember the next day they did run a follow-up that the cops caught the robber.) I did try to google it for you, but I couldn’t find that. (I’m not the best at the google.
)
In North Carolina, you shoot at something and break it, you are responsible for it. No matter what the situation.
That’s because we try to have personal responsibility here.. well.. we sorta do anyways..
Personal responsibility to fvck sh1t up!!!! wooooo Carolina!!!! well…. sort of… I’m just state bashing because i’m from Texas and our state could kick your state’s ass in a personal responsibility cage match. yes, that is a gauntlet and i just threw it down.
We didn’t like our republican governer so we voted in a Democrat… beat that
awh shucks. you got me there. i knew it’d be a short death match.
Still, don’t ask me how that happened. I mean… here in NC during the denate race Dole ran ads against Hagan, saying that she accepted campaign contributions from “Godless Americans” and the tag line at the end of the ad was “Do you trust a senator who doesn’t have Just God’s interests in mind?”
I just shook my head.
gotta love it when god is being used by politicians for votes, either side it’s coming from. tell me about policies and facts not paranoias and talking points.
Well my first thought was: “What politician actually has JUST God’s interests in mind?”
I mean honestly….
Uh, ramblin gamblin sleasely Easely was a Democrat, and now Beverly Perdue is also. And looks like both of them are going down in scandal. Maybe they can share a cell with Jim Black.
Isn’t that like dividing by zero?
