I have found in Hatrack an indispensible friendship that I have never truly found. By this I mean that I stupidly thought that here I could find no harm - but I have found that, as in real-life, not all life can intertwine. I will forever feel a rush of happiness that overcomes me as I come home to Hatrack, but it can never be the same. I thank you all.

In that you mean, you feel hurt by my thread?
Posted by wieczorek (Member # 5565) on :
How I would love to ignore you, but it doesn't feel right
Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :
My thread was not intended to hurt you. If you feel it's an important part of your identity, then please feel free to tell me to go to hell.
I've been particularly insouciant lately, and apparently I was very cavalier with your feelings. I'm sorry, wieczorek.

If you want to get back at Ralphie, I reccomend repeated posting in the Ender Burning thread. She would enjoy that kind of payback.
Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :
::grins:: There is that.
Oh, sheesh kid - Gimme your AIM nick. I'll start the Ralphie Luvin' ASAP.
Posted by wieczorek (Member # 5565) on :
Sounds amusing Chade. Ralphie, I recommend not pleading for the ousting of a quote that resides in a book you've never read. Unless ofcourse you meant to be funny (something I suppose I need lessons in) by asking if my sig. was from a book.
Posted by saxon75 (Member # 4589) on :
wieczorek, I hope you don't find this question rude, but how old are you?
Posted by wieczorek (Member # 5565) on :
Do you find you to be immature and impulsive? Hmmm...no. You can ask all you want!

Saxon, if you think my posts (after the thread based on my sig) are immature, you should be glad that I gave myself a half hour before writing my own thread - it could've been embarrassing... Posted by Ayelar (Member # 183) on :
Wait, Ralphie hasn't read Ender's Game?
She's a witch!
Posted by Kayla (Member # 2403) on :
wieczorek,
How old are you?
Of course Ralphie has read the book. You'd be hard pressed to find a poster who had been here for over a couple of years who hadn't. Of course she was teasing you.

Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
Weezy, she's read it. It was a joke. Perhaps you need to spend a little more time around Ralphie to understand what she finds funny. It won't always overlap with what you find funny, but that doesn't mean it isn't empirically funny (nor that it is -- sorry, Ralphie, my honesty filter has kicked in).
She waited much longer than I did to comment on it, if you recall (and I guess I've made a liar of myself, as I'm now commenting on it again -- there goes the honesty filter). Quotations used as signatures seem to work best when funny, or thought-provoking, or sometimes both. Your quotation isn't funny, and while it can be thought-provoking, it most likely won't be so here, because everyone already knows it and where it's from. It's like those topics that have been discussed ad nauseum, yet still crop up now and then.
Most boards that have signatures have a feature that allows them to be turned off by the choice of the viewer. When you type it in every time, we don't have that option.
I'm not gonna tell you to stop posting with the signature. But by itself it doesn't add anything, and leaves me unwittingly with the (incorrect) impression that you have nothing of your own to add. I just think you're better than that.

That's really scary Ayelar. Thanks for pointing that out! Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :
quote: I enjoy watching (metaphorical expression) you squirm.
Whoa. I suddenly, truly, like you.
And I'm going to assume everything is right between us, since you're not using your sig AND teasing me.

Well Ralphie - I suppose this is how friends are made? (That's supposed to be funny...) But don't think that you're going to get so lucky with the sig omission each and every time...

No one.

You can resume your position, Analog Kid (or TAK, I suppose) as Ralphie's hizzo. It sounds too much like "sizzling" which reminds me of bacon, and that's what's cooking up in the frying pan besides Ralphie's brain, so it doesn't sound too appetizing... Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

Sorry Ralphie, I just thought this was funny.
I had this same thing happen with Frisco and Ralphie, except it was far different, I was even more stupid. Anyway, the only thing you can say about Ralphie is, well, she's just Ralphie. You get to recognize her sense of humor eventually, and then she's perfectly likable. Posted by Kayla (Member # 2403) on :
Then she's pretty likable?? I think she's just damn skippy, whether or not you figure out her sense of humor. Posted by Nick (Member # 4311) on :
I made that understatement on purpose Kayla.
Ralphie is pretty skippy. Posted by wieczorek (Member # 5565) on :
I'm glad to see I'm not the only stupid one here
That reminds me of philosophy club (alot of good it's done for anyone ). This boy (whose name is Nick) was describing a fetus as a parasite (meaning that a parasite lives off of another creature, the mother in the case of pregancy being the host). When you said "skippy" it reminded me of "trippy". That was someone's remark about that statement of Nick's. I've only heard "trippy" a choice few times, it's rather funny.

Hearing that somebody named Nick has that opinion of a fetus and a mother almost makes me ashamed to have the name Nick.

Uh, Nick, don't get too bent out of shape. As someone who has been pregnant, and studied/taught biology, I agree with the "parasite" theory. Actually, I made jokes about it all the time.
And such cute little parasites they turned out to be! Posted by Nick (Member # 4311) on :
oh... I get that I guess. I just never thought of speaking of a human being as a parasite before.

I know Queen Amidala's outfits in Episode One were based on Mongolian fashions. Does that count?
Posted by wieczorek (Member # 5565) on :
lol- saxon, (did I get it right this time? ) I was asking because I have a friend from Mongolia and she was saying that her family is thinking about going back. I was just wondering what it was like there.
Ofcourse, I could look it up, but it's usually better to ask someone who's actually been there. I could ask my friend, but I don't think it's a good idea
Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :
Mongolia is next to Guam, right?
Posted by wieczorek (Member # 5565) on :
Sure it does, katharina
Raw meat? ... like a butcher shop? ...
Posted by wieczorek (Member # 5565) on :
Sure...that is if you're talking about Guam, Poland
Posted by saxon75 (Member # 4589) on :
Good job, wieczorek.
The raw meat at a Mongolian Barbecue is typically frozen and is always very thinly sliced. You go in and grab a bowl or two, put in your choice of meat, vegetables and seasonings, and then watch as they dump it on a big round metal thing and cook it. The food is always very tasty, but if it's not an all-you-can-eat place, it's not really worth the money and waiting (there's always a long line).
