We've worked far too long to break Tom of his "j/k " habit for you to come along and mess with it now.

Yes. Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes.

For those of you who do not get Tom's sense of humor, let me please explain something to you: he will never deliberately be offensive or caustic in a thread about something as irrelevant as clothes - yes IRRELEVANT.

For those who think you know him oh-so-much, you are not using your keen powers of observation and perception picking up things the rest of of us are not. Think whatever you want to about Tom, but he is NOT A BASTARD. While he will not back down about topics he feels are important, he is generally extremely diplomatic and actually cares *shock* what people think enough to couch his words carefully.

Am I making this thread because I care about your feelings? No.

Am I making this thread because I care about Tom's feelings? Maybe a little.

Am I making this thread because we just finally broke Tom of the habit of making a feaking "j/k" and happy face after all his jokes? YES, by god. YES.

Stop with the freaking about about Tom, or so help me I WILL come over there.

Hobbes - Maybe. But don't make me use my cheese on you. You won't like it.

Posted by The Principal (Member # 5721) on :

Hmmm. Cheese. I wonder what the cafeteria is serving for lunch today?

Posted by Hobbes (Member # 433) on :

Would you let me eat it instead of having you "use" the cheese. I mean, how do you even "use" cheese? It's a food. A darn good food!

Ralphie: You're doing great! Now follow up with the old, "I will turn this Forum AROUND!"... Gets those kids to shut up every time... [Big Grin]

I don't even mind the cheese...

First comment from Ralphie: Yes. Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes.

<Relieved this isn't....>

Pop, that's what I thought, too. I just didn't dare to say it...

Who is the quote by? I'm lost... Do I actually have to read more of the forum? Are you saying there are people out there who don't always yield to anyone with a higher post count? This is deeply shocking to me. [Cry]

Posted by Christy (Member # 4397) on :

Eeep! Don't make ME come over there! I'm on to you, woman!

*stakes claim on her husband in very big signs with bright colors*

*seconds the opinion that Tom is not a bastard*
*will come after any who say otherwise*

*notes that Tom's humor is usually pretty deadpan in person, too*

Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :

*grin* Does this mean we have to call off the kidnapping plan?

Posted by Yebor1 (Member # 1380) on :

Tom MY arch nemesis

J/K [Smile]

Posted by Head Ditch Digger (Member # 5085) on :

Let me get this straight, if I say Tom is a mean old fart (The clean version), I would have not one but two women chasing after me.

Tom, You're a mean old fart

Posted by Rita Spankmistress (Member # 3484) on :

I got your back Ralphie.

Rita brandishes her riding crop threateningly

Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :

Christy - Oh, sweetie. He is SO all yours.

However, he's much, much funnier when he doesn't write "j/k [Smile]

" and since I worship at the shrine of funny, I cannot allow any impediments as this would be sacreligious.

HDD - [Razz]

::Would be very, ver afraid if Rita were to announce that she had my "back"::

Posted by Christy (Member # 4397) on :

[ROFL]

Posted by zgator (Member # 3833) on :

When Tom doesn't add the j/k, I get to feel all superior and stuff if I get the joke. If I don't see anything funny, I can remain blissfully unaware of my lack of wit. It's a win-win situation for me.

Posted by Christy (Member # 4397) on :

zgator, imagine what its like in real life! [Big Grin]

I must say there are a lot of times I'm blissfully ignorant. I practically jump up and down when I catch references. [Blushing]

Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :

Since Rita is my creation, though in the hands of another, if she has my 'back' is that officially onanism?

:: ponders ::

Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :

I'd say so, yes.

You'll go blind Ralphie, blind! Is that what you want?

Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :

Please, think of the kittens.

Posted by Head Ditch Digger (Member # 5085) on :

MMMMM kittens.

*drools*

Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :

Sometimes I wonder if HDD is right in the noggin'.

Posted by Head Ditch Digger (Member # 5085) on :

Stop wondering.

It really depends on which voice has the control at that moment.

There are two that I know of, but you would have to ask the others, they may know of more.

Posted by suntranafs (Member # 3318) on :

Soooo... Tom is not a bastard. I agree with this now, but it took me a very long time to relize it... He's a Jerk!
[Wink]

j/k
rofl at the irony.

Posted by BannaOj (Member # 3206) on :

jerk being the third derivative of distance

AJ

Posted by saxon75 (Member # 4589) on :

I love it, AJ, but how many people do you think will get it?

Posted by BannaOj (Member # 3206) on :

you did! [Wink]

Posted by celia60 (Member # 2039) on :

banna, i don't even know how to respond to that.

Posted by Bob the Lawyer (Member # 3278) on :

So, if Tom is jerk that means he has the integral of anyone on this forum. Except, perhaps, m^2. Who I'm going to call (1/3)m^3 + c from now on.

Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :

You know what's sad? I know just enough physics to know what the third derivative of distance IS -- the rate of change in acceleration -- but apparently not enough to know why that's funny in connection with me and the word "jerk."

*hides face in hands*

I used to be a geek. I did.

Posted by Head Ditch Digger (Member # 5085) on :

Saxon, stop getting the others to join in you being a wet blanket.

If you only knew the power of the Dark Side.

Posted by Head Ditch Digger (Member # 5085) on :

I am sure you could expound on the properties of dark matter.

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

*phew* Tom, I thought I was somehow calculating the derivative wrong! (And since I'm really supposed to be studying for the actuary test right now, that would be BAD.)

Posted by Hobbes (Member # 433) on :

Jerk is just the name for the change in acceleration.

I no longer wonder why I majored in social work.
