His technique always looks as though it was invented in an egg grinder and
beat up in a mixing bowl, but he gets it done and it kinda comes off when he
does a very well-put-together program.

So I should drown him in a chlorine rich swimming pool?

Wow, just wow. I haven't heard anything this stupid in awhile- especially not on Hatrack. I'd give you an award, but it would involve drowning you to prevent you from breeding.
ok, hang on... I know you all don't have the bludgeon-sharp, finely-tuned-as-a-shotgun, sense of humor that I have, but perhaps Advent *is* just playing along here? After all, ClaudiaTherese chose to portray herself as a rather ugly drawing... is it too much credit to give Advent for being wry enough to have a little fun with that?

Hmm...could be.

fwiw, I was just "riffing" in PC's thing about drowning. It's not really "aimed" at Advent, I just thought the pond-scum comment would be funny.

I don't really "know" Advent, and I really doubt anyone was really upset with him -- otherwise they'd either really be on the attack or they'd be totally silent.

I thought that might be the case. Just the drowning bit seemed a little harsh to me and so I nobly came to the rescue. But since he hasn't thanked me for it, have at the ingrate. [Razz]

But, if you prefer, it's a good harsh, like 90% cocoa chocolate.

Salt and Vinegar potato chips are an aquired taste. Once aquired, however, they're like crack. Kind of like the dill pickle chips.

Fine. I would like to publicly appologize for saying that to Claudia. I had not meant the comment to be taken seriously, I was just trying to joke about my movie idea.

So I am sorry Claudia. [Cry]

S&V chips are good but I really miss ketchup chips (Canadian). They are YUM and you can't get them south of the border! KQ, have you ever tried them?

Bob, aren't chip crumbs considered lawn fertilizer?

That's just nasty. Really.

Where is your sense of taste?

Sour cream and onion taties -- that's the game.

Flavored potato chips in general are new fashioned. We just had potatos in my day. Fancy-shmancy multiple forms of the noble potato...

You had potatoes in your day! In my day the only people with potatoes were the Inca and they weren't sharing, we just had bread, and it wasn't particularly good bread either. We also didn't have flavors in my day, we couldn't afford flavors, there was gruel or bread, and occasionally bread and gruel.

Taties mashed.

Taties boiled.

Taties fryed.

Taties baked.

Taties with cabbage and carrots . . . and on a good day, a little corn beef . . .

Taties in just about any shape, form, taste, one desires.

*nummy*

*grin*

You all had it easy. Why, when I was your age, we didn't even HAVE complaining. If we had to communicate our discontent, all we could do was grunt and bang rocks together. And not even little rocks. Those hadn't been invented yet. Giant boulders. It was our banging those giant boulders together all those years that allowed you young whippersnappers the luxury of small, hand-held rocks.

Also, we didn't even have dial-up modems. We had smoke signal modems.

Back in my day, we had REAL pond scum, not this lily-livered froth they try to pass off as "pond scum."

I've had 'em. They're not as good as plain chips dipped in ketchup.

(Regarding Bob's original post. Something to be directed against the modern punkiness, people who get whatever they want. I only get it all because I have a tongue and know what to say - to some people. That's why I never failed anything - and not because I was always competent!)

I need to clarify, Old Dutch ketchup chips are the only kind that are tasty, the rest are inferior in their attempt to even be called such. [Razz] But thanks anyway rivka.

Quid, if I, say, mailed you some salt & vinegar chips, would they get to you? How carefully is mail checked?

Also, what are the chances they'd get there in pieces bigger than crumbs?

Also, once we're inside, how I find you? And once I do, how do we escape?

Heh heh, as much as I love em KQ, $20 is a little much for a delicious treat of chips. What don't they sell on ebay though? Seriously.

Edit to add: yes I'm a ketchup chip snob!
