DREAMTROVE


If my abilities as demonstrated in three or four topics which keep coming up, and after a mere six years, I have some grasp of their connection to the mystical world of mathematics are as legendary and inhuman as has been stated, then I fear for the human race.

Still, I will admit that I am a fraud. I use the abilities of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division as applied to otherworldly topics like finance, or pollution, or population, I have on occasion used google's built in calculator, and I have even googled for numbers to plug in.

I have applied strange wisdom from far corners of the earth, such as "if you fill a bucket, you can only empty it once before you fill it again" (老子) and "before bailing out the boat, plug the holes in the bottom" (L Ron Hubbard) and "Don't spend more than you have" which I credit to Jesus.

Okay, when I started this post I thought it was cleverer than it turned out to be. Sorry for ticking some of y'all off, I think it's best I be on my way or I'm prone to do it again.

That's what a ship is, you know - it's not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails, that's what a ship needs.

Dree-eeem-trove,
su-per-star,
Do you think you're what they say you are?

(Don't you get me wrong) Don't you get me wrong
(Don't you get me wrong, now) Don't you get me wrong
(Don't you get me wrong) Don't you get me wrong
(Don't you get me wrong, now) Don't you get me wrong

(Only want to know) Only want to know
(Only want to know, now) Only want to know
(Only want to know) Only want to know
(Only want to know, now) I only want to know

If everyone who ever ticked someone off on RWED left, the only person who would still be left would be Rion. I don't think she's ever ticked anyone off, but I could be wrong. Runner up would be Chris.

It's par for the course around here. We yell, we scream. But we're a weird sort of family because we still stick around. And we can still relate to each other on a human level. Siggy and I hate each other, but we'll still express a nod of sympathy for the suffering of our respective children. That's something.

Bah, if I haven't offended SOMEBODY on any given day I feel a bit remiss in what strikes me as a moral duty.

I just aim carefully when I do it, or try to.

Only ONE thing offends me- gleefully defending the waiving of humanitarianism in the name of 'what's right'.

Such oxymoronish behaviour gets to me. All else is provocative intellectual play.

Frem, I don't think you've ever offended me. You've been brutally honest a time or thirty, but I can find no offense in that.

Aw thanks guys. I mean it. I guess this means I have to apologize to Wish.


Wish,

Sorry I implied that you were a fiscally irresponsible mountaintop remover. In my defense, (do I get to say something in my defense?) I'd just watch the last mountain, as I said, and well, it's emotional. I was feeling very pro-mountain, and by extension, anti-coal.

DT, I think CTS said it best:

I'm sorry, Chris - I was quoting CTS on that, and her larger point about Riona being nice, always.

I'd say the race would be between Riona and Anthony for nicest, although Anthony still has a way of getting to people when he's of a mind to...


And yes, you've inflamed more than a few right-wing zealots in your time. Keep up the good works. :)

Chris: TheRightStuff.

I actually saw Chris tick off Geezer. It was by way of Auraptor, but it was Geez who got ticked by it. I was somewhat annoyed actually, cause personal attack threads, but I actually assumed you were mocking. At any rate, I'm not sure you whether the credit for therightstuff belongs to you or the screenname.

I'm not sure re: Riona on the grounds she hasn't been here all that long, she might have some good offenses in her, Chris batting only one every couple of years. Anthony just seriously ticked me off, and I'm still a little ticked, which is the only time I've ever seen Anthony tick anyone off, but that doesn't make me feel any better about it. Probably he was really ticked at me, which would mean I was the rare obnoxoid to tick him off, as I haven't seem him ticked either, but I have ticked a number of people off, including those near and dear to me.

Something I learned from RWED: Insults don't have to be true. That limits your imagination, man!

In fact fake insults can be even more insulting than true insults. :)

I got nowhere with the Rap-Mike thing, Mike's pretty hard to shake.

Mike, where's the fire? It should be as least "Detroit? Is that still a city? Or did they downgrade it to hamlet?"

Apology accepted. Hey, I ticked off Anthony, that should at least be worth a dubious achievement award. I don't know if that's happened before. 1843. Madrid?

I know I ticked him off when we were arguing if pulling a kid out of traffic is considered "violent."

Haha. We laugh now. :)

RIONAEIRE

Beir bua agus beannacht


You guys are too kind. I've upset Niki a couple of times, I think its because I have some rather unorthodox views on same sex marriage, physicality and things of that ilk. But I like Niki a lot and she knows I don't say stuff with the purpose to be mean so we get along really good most of the time.

A DT a chara, there's no reason for you to go anywhere, we're all adults here and everyone disagrees sometimes. If someone here wasn't grown yet I'd encourage them to take a break and come back when they are because some of the stuff that goes on here, largely because of PN but others are guilty too, isn't apropriate for kids. But that's neither here nor there.

I love RWED and I always try and tell the people in general discussions that we're like a big dysfunctional screwed up family in here and its okay.
