How is this????
Is it just me, or does anybody else think this thread (which could have been a lot of fun) has gotten tiresome. Are most of this silly remarks meant to be taken literally or are they actually tongue in cheek. If it's the latter, I guess I don't get the joke. Will this continue to be a waste of time? I would like to know when I should stop reading the updates.
OK, I don't think that was rude, anyone else?????? Maybe blunt is not the right word, maybe I need another word to express "let's get to the point". Maybe brusque, or curt??? They actually connote rudeness to a degree................Are you folks actually trying to convince others how smart you are???? Come on guys and gals, loosen up a little bit. No one likes a tightass.
Huh.

I love unintentional, self-inflicted irony

Wha?? I'm not sure I am following you....we were just conversing is all. I don't see how that makes any of the posters to this thread tightasses.
Well, maybe I misunderstood the tenor of the posts. It seems that some folks are taking this way too seriously. If the rest of you are enjoying yourselves, have at it. But...........is anyone going to tell me that this is actually a bunch of people having a swell time or is the only thing that stuck out was my use of the word "tightass" and my "careful how you judge people" I agree that any type of communication could be called conversing, but is this actually friendly or are people really ticked off that someone alleges that they "know" everything"? Honest to God, you folks are confusing the hell out of me.
Don't go feelin' too special there, glitterbag - you sure as hell ain't the only one confused ... not by a very, very long shot - that's the fun, IMO

Well, in my perception of the thread, we were all conversing as real people and not anything about someone knowing all and someone knowing nothing. That's another thread altogether in my opinion.. Our talk in this thread was more personal and the gloves were off.. There was no boastfulness or braggery that I felt.. I am very sorry if you thought any of us were being tightasses, but I just don't see it nor see where.

Maybe its just me, but I don't want dissension and hard feelings from one thread to carry over into every other thread. I took this thread on its own merit and learned some very wonderful things about some people that I hadn't known before.
Well, I'm glad some people are enjoying this. I'm not aware of any hard feelings on anybody's part spilling over from other threads. I don't get here often enough to have strong feelings one way or another. Anyhow, you folks enjoy yourselves.
Well, I enjoy the casual talk, and torturing certain people who claim to know everything. What I really don't know is if the people who claim such a thing are lying or being serious about it.
Check it out. Does my ass look tight in this thread?
Now that ya mention it, kicky ... ya might wanna have a word with your tailor 'bout those pants.
I don't know everything, but I do have a library card.
See how easy that was. The last 3 posts were funny.
I don't know everything because I don't know if I know everything.

I don't think I know much, but what I do know I like!
Even if I learn something new every day, I know there is a future of many years that will continue to ensure that I'll never know everything there is to know. Life is so short, dammit!
Wouldn't you rather be happier that way, with a shorter life? If your life were shorter, you would have fewer things to suffer over. And fewer things you may not want to know.
Actually, Lucifer, I'm pretty happy in my present life, but longivity is not sought or expected. I hope I stay healthy during the rest of my life (both physical and mental), and I hope to never visit your "home" after my body ceases to operate.
