I'm gonna leave that one alone...
Timber
I recently discovered that Timber is made up of one million toothpicks glued together. I want to know what kind of glue would hold that amount of tonnage together?
Gorilla glue?

Regrettfully, I only just now discovered this important thread. I certainly would not want this wonderful A2K to go the way of Abuzz. On the first page Phoenix said that A2K is a microcosm of the country. I disagree: the average IQ and educational level of this population is much higher than nation's average. The mere fact that everyone here can write and type and articulate ideas demonstrates this fact.
We definitely should simply ignore the rabble, the "barbarians" laying seige to our little island of civil-ization.
The only thing that I would change on that is changing the word country to world. ;-)
JL- You may very well have a valid point here. Maybe it is that we have been spoiled with a forum where the vast majority of members' IQs tend to fall quite a bit to the right of the bell curve.
Phoenix, for sure. I've taught university students from freshman to doctoral candidates for 24 years, and I consider a large number of posters here to be comparable to the best.

Rabble? And, just who are the rabble and barbarians? Is there a consensus meeting to identify individuals for the rabble pile? Forgive me for taking exception to that statement, but I see it as highly arrogant.
well, for rabbleness I nominate The Dys.
I guess that would make Diane a "rabble rouser," then?
LOL, Eva, occassionally, yes, I am able to rouse the old rabble now and again.

hey how can that be? You have said your a girl\wife\female - how could that be you are a son?
:wink:
Husker,
I don't think Phoenix is a son or a daughter or anything of a B at all. I've always had quite a bit of respect for her.
j_b, I am not identifying anyone as barbarian or rabble. My suggestion is that each of us who considers anyone's actions to be barbarian, i.e., too unruly to withstand, should simply ignore them. If enough individuals ON THEIR OWN, but not by committee, ignore my actions, I will have been isolated or marginalized on the basis of the effects of my action on individuals. Those individuals will, in effect, have voted me out. I will not be "official" expelled, I will be "unofficially" ostracized on the basis of my failure to get along with enough individuals. It will be my own (un)doing. What's arrogant about that?
Besides, there are some very loveable rabblers here on a2k. I happen to be crazy about one in particular.
<This thread intentionally interrupted to announce that the greatest team in NFL history is the Pittsburgh Steelers. Yeah, that's right, they are the all-time badasses of the NFL, baby, don't doubt it, beeeyatches!!!!!>
Does the old man carrying the big cup have a streak of bird poop running down his face?
