[honeygrl]

I am very anti-hurricane naming until they add my name to the list. They have Tanya on the list but not a Tonya iirc.

[Laura Earl]

I'm strapping on my hans device to head home.

[Gabz]

I haven't been to a good one lately either - but OTOH I was so miserable for over a week that I wasn't interested. If you want to register to post - there are a couple of real nasty antis on the iwon.com board. But you can read it all without registering. here

[honeygrl]

" just hope some of the anti's I am battling with on another board are not monitoring this one - they are known to take what smokers say on one board and post the words on another and twist them every which way but loose. "

well, if they can't tell you are joking, they are morons that aren't worth your time.

[honeygrl]

"I haven't been to a good smoke fight in weeks. I get pinged go there and nothing develops."

I haven't seen to many lately either. Maybe all the anti's got so upset over the previous debates and had to start smoking to relax their anal retentive natures.

[Gabz]

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are really no antis that are worth my time - I do it more for the comedic value and for stress relief!!!!

[secret garden]

Yes.

[Gabz]

Maybe all the anti's got so upset over the previous debates and had to start smoking to relax their anal retentive natures.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Argh]

They're not just anal, I think they really hate a) people and b) life, despite what they say.

[Conspiracy Guy]

So why would someone named honeygrl care about Tanya vs Tonya.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Which names are the nasties?

[Gabz]

Perfect description.

On that note, my family is home so I need to go fix some dinner - see you all tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!

[Conspiracy Guy]

Maybe they realized that repeating the same thing over and over is not debate. Naw.

[Gabz]

galster and oneknut

those are the real bad ones - they're the canadians I've spoken of. galster is really vicious, the nutlessone (I mean oneknut) is really just a toady of hers but denies he has any clue who she is - he also has no clue regarding reality.

One other anti is thomasjob - but he can be reasonable.

BTW - I'm smokerami - the antis, particularly oneknut, have a tendency to refer to me as Del - that's from an entirely different board.

Have fun - I'll be watching for you and I'll be back there later!!!!!!!!

[RikaStrom]

Yeah, but voluntary call for evacuation of Galveston.

[RikaStrom]

Very true.

A+

[Conspiracy Guy]

I registered but it won't let me in. Guess I need to wait a few days.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Over and out going home roger wilco. bye

[xsmommy]

THAT"S IT!

[Robert A Cook PE]

"I'm strapping on my hans device to head home...

Oh.

(To Hobby....) Guess I was wrong.

I'd always been thinkin' them there coquettes were always strappin' on no-hands devices to get 'em some (at) home....
