While it's debatable if my rant on how to garner attention was appropriate in the thread I placed it, it still took some thought to type it out and it's something I've been thinking about for a while.

And now it dwells in the place reserved for deleted threads and Pauly Shore movies.

I know I'm being crabby and have been for some time now, and I know you (Mr. Thread Owner) thought I was completely out of line for posting what I did, but friggin' stop deleting friggin' threads without friggin' warning people. If you notice, when you said you wanted it to die I didn't post in your thread any further out of respect for that. You could have at least allowed it to be referenceable.

AND FURTHERMORE, why did they cancel the live action Tick after only nine episodes?! That REALLY chaps my hide!

And why do I have to exercise, diet AND take TrimSpa X32?! What's the point of the product to begin with if not to lose weight without having to work for it!

I'm NOT happy. [Mad]

I would offer hugs, but I'm not sure they would help. May I offer a drink?

Well it couldn't have been Jay.

Posted by Ryuko (Member # 5125) on :

I'm sorry, Ralphie.

(searches cache)

I have your post, if you want it.

Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :

! I do, thank you. antonia.dodge@gmail.com. Thanks, Ryuko!

El Jay - I'll take a really high quality shot of tequila, straight up, please. Danke shan.

You know, I'm not sure why I've been so cranky on Hatrack lately. I've stopped myself from posting a couple of times because the posts were just so full of piss and vinegar. I'm not all grumpy in Meat Space. Hmph.

(Although, that Tick thing does get the blood boiling.)

edit: You know I'm retired, aspectre!

Hatrack Chat.

It was a goofy thread, and while I'm still not happy with the deletion I understand why the person did it.

I was grumpy about losing my post. Which has been retained and may be used at a more appropriate time later.

You talking to me?

I'm on my work computer. I am AIMless.

Posted by Scott R (Member # 567) on :

Pobrecita.

Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :

Ah.

Posted by Scott R (Member # 567) on :

I'm avoiding writing more about eunuchs.

Come help me in Hatrack Chat.

Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :

Oh, man Scott. I'd love to chat with you and I totally appreciate the invitation. I have to hop in the shower and get ready for dinner reservations at 6:30p. (Greek food and belly dancing should cheer me up!)

Rain check, my brutha?

Posted by Scott R (Member # 567) on :

I was talking to Joe.

[Evil Laugh]

Suckah.

We shall have to give it a funny title, you know how weighty documents get these funny names like the cannon of whatever or the bull of whatever. There's a funnier one but I can't remember it.

D'oh!

Now I'm going to go cry. Like this. [Cry]

Posted by Scott R (Member # 567) on :

Ralphie-- I really was inviting you (and everyone) to chat.

I'm finding that since kat said I was never rude, I have become increasingly sensitive to my sarcasm.

Darn you, kat. Darn you to heck.

Here, Ralphie, dear, it's just one beer. More alcohol, so fewer carbs.

That is a decent ale, really, and it is the number one beer in internet sales these days...or it was a few months ago.

I love the print on the bottle, it reads like a waitress at Dick's Last Resort. [Big Grin]

I feel moved to recite some poetry.

*ahem*

On the chest of a barmaid at Yale
Were tatooed the prices of ale
And on her behind
For the sake of the blind
Was the same information in Braille.

Annie, did you write that yourself? That was awesome.

Did anybody else not understand how much they appreciated the absence of Anna Nicole Smith until she showed up again?

Posted by Da_Goat (Member # 5529) on :

Also, just to fit in with everybody who's ranting (and, scrolling up, that appears to total one, and a couple concurrences, iffin' that's a word, and if it's not, it should be, but I think it is, yay run-on parenthetical thingamabobs), why does Maroon get so much notice among fans when Maybe You Should Drive and Born on a Pirate Ship are so much cooler?

And speaking of piss and vinegar, my mom drinks vinegar and honey. What the freakin' CRAP is THAT!? WHY would anybody willingly subject themselves to something that looks, smells, and tastes as putrid as that is?

Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :

Ralphie! You watched bellydancers last night too?! How cool is that... until I saw the "greek food" part I thought you were coming to the henna party dinner, but that would've been 5:30 your time. [Wink]

*pours shot*

Dunno if you need it anymore, but heck, that's just neat. [Smile]

Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :

Ralphie, get some rest. I think you work too hard!

Though I can understand a lot of what you were talking about... hell, I need rest too.

*joins in drinking*

Shut up, I know I'm underage, and a goody two-shoes. This is hypothetical. [Razz]
