Hobbes on the other hand always makes me smile [Big Grin]

Tom you are contrary above and beyond playing devils advocate...Your opinion is nearly ALWAYS contrary. your two cents tend to burn a hole in my pocket and thru to my leg.
Furthermore

burning??? [Confused]

Well, I will say that TomD does leave an indelible mark on all those lucky enough to get to interact with him... [Wink]

Oh hell.

I just sent a snippy email to ABCnews.com because I took issue with one of their phrasings.

An assault rifle is not a machine gun.

And just to prove this is on topic, I'm learning to appreciate the finer points of nuance. [Big Grin]

Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :

In a way, MacBeth is right; my opinion is usually pretty contrary to his.

Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :

Hmmm.. I pictured MacBeth as female..

TomD - your opinion is usually very contrary to mine, as well, but it certainly doesn't keep me up nights worrying, or burn any holes in my pockets...

In fact, despite our philosophical differences, I think you're a pretty great guy....

I think it takes two people to create a contrary opinion.

:re-reads "in the past" thread with new eyes:

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

Those must be some eyes considering the thread appears to have been deleted.

Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :

You're right -- I am mistaken. It was just an assumption on my part.

In the newbie thread (other side) MacBeth says:

quote:
went thru a few name changes since then and realized that dental assissting for a male is a pipe dream

so MacBeth is a guy...

[No No]

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

Umm... sorry?

(what'd I do?)

Posted by saxon75 (Member # 4589) on :

Maybe he's upset with you for holding up the Overlook game.

Posted by TMedina (Member # 6649) on :

I don't know why the thread was deleted, but it was - and I think it was moving into murky waters.

The less said about it, the better.

Unless MacBeth wants to bare his soul here, in which case I'll go back to lurking.

I mean it.

Posted by Olivetta (Member # 6456) on :

I will say That Tom's opinions of people and their motives can be very squirm-inducing, at least for the people involved.

He once said something about my habit of going too far then 'self-flagellating', and it was so true I just wanted to hide. [Smile]

(He worded it much more neutrally than that, and wasn't making value judgments. Or seemed not to be, anyway).

Other people have mentioned being expertly pegged by Tom, and having the same reaction. [Smile]

But we still love him. [Smile]

Posted by Chris Bridges (Member # 1138) on :

I was expertly pegged by Tom once. It was in the foggy alleyways of Singapore, after a long night of hauling freight. He talked to me gently, bought me drinks, and, finally, made me a man.

What a minute, what were we talking about?

Dang it, milk does not taste good in the nose.

Posted by Olivetta (Member # 6456) on :

That is SO VERY NOT what I meant. [Blushing]

Posted by NdRa (Member # 2295) on :

When skimming through incredibly long-winded threads, I always slow down to read what Tom has to say. I agree a good half of the time, but mostly I love how he can sum up what a lot of people have to write an essay about in 2 sentences. My ADHD loves Tom.

Posted by PSI Teleport (Member # 5545) on :

Believe it or not, I agree with what Tom says most of the time, because I totally agree with his line of logic. The problem generally lies in the starting place. [Smile]

Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :

I can't afford to pay off ALL of you! Now stop it! [Razz]

Posted by TMedina (Member # 6649) on :

Hah! We have two cases of fluid being expelled in a violent and partially painful manner!

And I wasn't party to causing either, more's the pity. [Big Grin]

Posted by TMedina (Member # 6649) on :

[ROFL]

Good Job Chris. That's two and counting. [Big Grin]

-Trevor

Posted by Chris Bridges (Member # 1138) on :

Any day I can get Olivetta to blush and advice and CT to expel fluids at the same time is a good day.

Posted by JonnyNotSoBravo (Member # 5715) on :

I think I would assume Macbeth is a man more than a woman. The play Macbeth is about a man, maybe that's why Tom assumed Macbeth was a man because Tom's got some English degree (I think I remember that, anyway).

Then again, maybe MacBeth was emphasizing the Beth part because of the female aspect.

Hmmm. I think I'll just leave MacBeth as an asexual figure in my sim.
