You say the same to me.

Your point being?
This seems fairly similar. If he gave you a drink, I'd set it down and go to wash my hands.
Must be your medical background suddenly encouraging hygiene
No kidding! Good thing we have a series of spikes on one side of your pit and moats on the other three sides!
Good thing for me, or for you?

@DJV, we're better at it.
@DW, feeling any better yet?

I don't think I have the coordination to end and start all the quotes, I'd just end up running them into each other in one big mess of quote.

That's why you preview complicated posts like that.
Anyway, I've had a bit of practice at that.

@DJ Venom,
Hey, it's not that difficult you know, especially with the new formatting toys
@Rav,
Reasonably better, thanks
Tiger Balm is good stuff
The post dinner bourbon will help too...

I multi-quoted a ton during heated discussions, just to agree with people and generally avoid giving an opinion of my own.
![Big Grin :D](./images/smilies/)
I'd usually wrap up in the end with a semi-opinion. I'd always hold down the Shift key and click "Quote" to open a new window. I'd just reply to each quote in the separate windows and then past them into one massive reply to keep some semblance of order.

Now that is an interesting idea... I may have to try that.
But not giving an opinion
![Eek! :eek:](./images/smilies/)
. There's no way that would happen, I always have an opinion, and there's nothing better than proving everyone else's wrong

Bah! I think that OS is 100% redneck. She he may have to worry about. When I got there her door had been knocked off it's hinges!
I can always be restrained if you want me to be, DW. Use metal and find something that doesn't bend.

I think it has something to do with weasels, old threads and pills, but I am unsure. It could be you, pills and shackles, but you can never be certain.
Good thing for me, or for you?
That depends entirely on what kind of person you think I am, my lovely.
Tiger Balm is good stuff
You and tiger balm. Hippy.

Well I don't really know OS, so I'll have to take your word for it.... Though I suspect the door being knocked off its hinges was more the result of her bursting through it in terror when she found out you were planning to visit

You're looking for something hard and unyielding are you? :speech:

Will this unyielding thing involve leather and some very special appearances in their use by you?

Weasel/Wankerly? I've read the horror stories of one names Chrissy.
Hmmmm.... Let me get back to you on that...
Well, your not going anywhere, I hired some of Brynn's snipers to keep there eyes on you. I hope you like sponges covered in brynnwater.

Not a hippy?

Ah, you must be older than the typical hippy population then. Are you one of the stunned people by the beach?

I had always been under the impression that leather was flexible, as opposed to unyielding..

My dear one, what are you insinuating? I feel so insulted...

Well, you have to remember that leather that is not blakc can be as stiff as heck. Often used for constricting unruly people in olden times, y'know...

Yes. Be afraid... be very, very afraid.... :devil:
I am slightly worried that it is you saying these things. Also somewhat excited. Should I go and ressurect the temple.
Ooh, I just noticed that I am one of the first ten here! Whisky, my lovely.

I was just watching the only TV show I watch on a regular basis. Oddly enough, JAG.
My dear one, what are you insinuating? I feel so insulted...
Oh, I wasn't insinuating anything
Well, you have to remember that leather that is not blakc can be as stiff as heck. Often used for constricting unruly people in olden times, y'know...
I'd forgotten about that. So what is it you're hoping I'll do with that leather exactly?
*wonders will this thing will end up, compacts another snowball and lobs at DW*
It could end up anywhere you know...
![Eek! :eek:](./images/smilies/)
Maybe it will end up hitting one of the windows in BC's legislature, and they'll think we are under terrorist attack from Alberta
*ducks snowball, it goes wizzing off in the same direction as the first one...*

I'm not sure. Is there a need to ressurect the temple?

Adding Insult to Injury
I actually had this vague impression of Alberta bordering Ontario.
So the provinces of Canada lining the southern border on my mental map:
BC, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Alberta, Ontario, Québec, New Brunswick
in stead of BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Québec, New Brunswick.
From the deep dark recesses of my mind I have since dredged up the origins of this fallacy. It's all due to a boardgame called Risk ... The map of the world is divided in territories which not necessarily correspond to countries, (smaller countries lumped together in larger entities such as Scandinavia, or Northern Africa; and larger countries such as Canada subdivided into different territories... For Canada NW territories (comprising what are more or less the northern provinces), Alberta (comprising the more or less western provinces), Ontario (comprising the central provinces), Québec (comprising the eastern provinces). Since this was my first confrontation with these names, it has left a lasting impression and Alberta and Ontario have been sitting brotherly (or sisterly) next to each other in my mind ever since...
