Inigo: I do not think you would accept my help, since I am just waiting around to kill you
The Masked Man: That does seem to put a damper on our relationship doesn't it?
I feel like quoting the Princess Bride tonight.
Mandy Patinkin was a student of KU, my home state, I thought he did a terrific job in this film. He was good friends with my friend and English Professor back in Kansas. Good people.

I think it all has to do with neuro-transmitters...........some have better ones than others
are there spastic synapses?
I believe my diatribe is coming to a close.
Nice exchanging thoughts. Be well.
-Keeg
I think this was the most fitting quote from the Princess Bride for this evenings discussion, I will leave this with you.
It really was a lot of fun.

LOL surely you can do better than that.
*grin*
Snood, It is funny that you quote an author that wrote about sex-obsessed characters who are mostly Uncle Toming to make it and fighting each other.
Hmmm coincedence? Doubt it.
-Keeg
And, that, of course, was an example of you dedication to a higher level of discourse, without personal remarks, right Keegan?
Just pointing out the obvious.
-Keeg
Well, i'm gonna haul my red, Irish ass off to bed . . .
You goys and birls have fun with your new troll, but be sure to clean up after . . .
G'night, Snood, ya ol' Uncle Tom . . .
Hmmm my name is Keegan Reid
Scots/Irish myself.
It was fun exchanging blows with ya.

If you have any interest in staying in touch.
Dear Keeg,
Fun getting to know ya. Come out to play again tomorrow.
Just so I'm clear on the boundaries (or lack thereof) - am I to understand that suggesting I'm an "Uncle Tom" is fairplay now?
I think I can handle it, but I want a reference point when I start talkin' about his Mama, or pursue other equally honorable approaches.
Well, Snood, just offhand, i'd say the gloves were off from his first post . . . the guy's an obvious troll . . . i'm just amazed that we've all shown as much restraint as has been the case . . .
Hello, is anybody home? I don't believe the remarks included any stupid, painful, degrading stereotypes, Setanta. No matter the gloves were "off", as you say, from the beginning the right-wing fanatic came on-topic, when the racial epithet was used, that was over the line. Not political correctness, just common decency, okay please? For example, I haven't appreciated some of the anti-Israel remarks made, I won't find it at all acceptable shall I find some Holocaust deniers either; and I will go through the roof if someone starts referring to me as a 'dirty Jew' or whatever. How could you guys think using a term like 'Uncle Tomming' is any way acceptable? It's just not! And, to get personal, the last person who should have to suffer that ignorance is most definitely Snood! Don't you even realize his avatar is a cosmic joke? Snood is actually an 89-year old white woman living down the road apiece from Beverly Hills, CA.
Ah spring time, when the air fills with the gentle lilt of non sequitur . . .
A new poster, describing at the very outset, Limbaugh as 'educated' puts the reader in a particular frame of mind...rather like when you are at a party and the door opens and someone comes through with striped pants, a paisley shirt, and a slinky on his nose.
thats not a slinky on my nose, i've simply over-repaired my spectacles.
Our new friend Keeg is rather like a nice sized peice of silly putty..........fun to play with but lacking in complexity.
"Uncle Toming" is, in my opinion, not within bounds.
