I am not a poster. I am a crispy critter.

I am an internet java script sent to infiltrate your site and transform you from political neanderthals into a modern 21st Century progressive mode.

This is your first warning.

Do not try and resist.

It is useless.

Accept your fate.

You will be assimilated.

Hi, tulip! How is everything?

[Irish_Thatcherite]

BTW, have you tamed the ornithoid yet?

[tuliptree76]

Things are okay.

[tuliptree76]

Nope. I'm constantly on a wild goose chase.

[Irish_Thatcherite]

You should try chasing tame geese!!

[Tax-chick]

Well, good. Back to work Monday?

[HKMk23]

Good evening. Raining here on the Oregon coast. No wild geese, just some remaining turkey. And ham. Can't forget about the ham. Slathered with german mustard and slow roasted. Might have gone well with a pint of amber ale, but it's a dry house, alas.

Ungh. I was fleeing another thread and got interrupted.

Good evening/morning!

[tuliptree76]

Yep. I'm driving back tomorrow and then work on Monday.

[Irish_Thatcherite]

I see you were on the same thread I got pinged to - the one about the 14 year old girl dying from her birth control - definitely parental responsibility!!

[Tax-chick]

Have a safe trip!

[Irish_Thatcherite]

Some threads are plain weird!!

[tuliptree76]

Hi HKMk23.

[tuliptree76]

Thanks.

[HKMk23]

Hello.

The concept of "fleeing from a thread" conjures some strange visuals. Up there with the old Looney Toons concept of a "rubber band".

Oop! Dinner bell. Gotta go grit. Later!

I have to go dry meself!

Yes. Since I have a 14-year-old daughter, I know from experience that it's not impossible to keep them from having sex. In the first place, if they've got any sense, they don't want to. And on the other hand, you just have to be around them all the time. "No girl ever got pregnant in front of the chaperone," as a wise man said.

I'd get chewed to bits if I said this on the other thread (and I'm planning to go to bed soon, anyway), but I think some of the posters have an ulterior motive: They want unmarried girls available for easy sex, and they don't want the inconvenience of condoms, so of course they're in favor of free access to hormonal contraceptives for women. "What's a few blood-clot or STD deaths, as long as we get to do our business?"

Wow, did I say that? I must be getting to the Really, REALLY Cranky stage of pregnancy :-).

[Lady Jag]

It was way weird, you got that right!

How's the other side of the Atlantic today?

By the time I was done I was nekkid!

For a start, where do they get the money to go out?

I read one poster who dismissed that a blood clot in the lower body could cause sudden death - the same poster was a poster I had a run in on an IRA thread a few months ago!!
