What? No more monkey talk? Let us then sing of the ape, to attract them back:
A LADY fair, of lineage high,
Was loved by an Ape, in the days gone by -
The Maid was radiant as the sun,
The Ape was a most unsightly one -
So it would not do -
His scheme fell through;
For the Maid, when his love took formal shape,
Expressed such terror
At his monstrous error,
That he stammered an apology and made his 'scape,
The picture of a disconcerted Ape.
With a view to rise in the social scale,
He shaved his bristles, and he docked his tail,
He grew moustachios, and he took his tub,
And he paid a guinea to a toilet club.
But it would not do,
The scheme fell through -
For the Maid was Beauty's fairest Queen,
With golden tresses,
Like a real princess's,
While the Ape, despite his razor keen,
Was the apiest Ape that ever was seen!
He bought white ties, and he bought dress suits,
He crammed his feet into bright tight boots,
And to start his life on a brand-new plan,
He christened himself Darwinian Man!
But it would not do,
The scheme fell through -
For the Maiden fair, whom the monkey craved,
Was a radiant Being,
With a brain far-seeing -
While a Man, however well-behaved,
At best is only a monkey shaved!
I smell ozone again.
caught up again, hey don-o!
Bully tactics. Do something nasty and then when you’re called on it, say, *It was just a joke*. *You guys are no fun.* *You don’t have a sense of humor.*
That turns it around and gets the attention off the bully and his bad behavior, and onto the other parties who didn’t do anything wrong, but now look like the bad guys because they didn’t get it.
ha, ha. very funny.
Keep reading!
Keep reading!
Maybe, but I think that they’re either trying to take someone else down with them by provoking them then hitting the abuse button, or they really think they’re making other mad at them.
Either way, sometimes it’s fun to accommodate them. A flat out over the top post and zot isn’t as much fun.
OK by me.
I've read sodpoodle enough to know he stands behind Jim...so unless he was inexplicable possessed, he was just kidding.
Wasn't he? ;^)
Afterall, Jim responded with a wink. Geesh! What's up?
I think Hillary is an over rated threat.
My daughter, who attends a big name university which is typically liberal, said that all but the most ardent liberals dislike (hate) Hillary and they said that they wouldn’t vote for her. It appears that she does not have the college vote.
The liberal kids in my son’s high school feel that the US is not ready for a woman president.
Now I realize that the voter turnout in either of these two age groups is not earth shattering, but I find if interesting that what is generally considered the most liberal age group is not behind her.
“Hmmm... I looked into it and it’s actually pretty minor. Keyword abuse. I’ve lifted the suspension.”
Many thanks. We need NU around here!
Hi DCP
All things in the universe are understood as received through the various filters of human understanding and thus are perceptions of reality. What we commonly refer to as reality is, in fact, merely an agreed upon perception.
They’re not all as super scientific as they like to pass themselves off as. Yes, some are genuine scientists and have degrees, but many are not. When asked about their scientific credentials, they either (eventually) admit they have none, or completely refuse to answer or even acknowledge the question. (which is a good indicator of *No*)
They just like to think they’re better than everybody else.
LOL! Thanks...NOW it’s clear. As mud!
Thank you so much, Kevmo, for your very kind words!
But that's not "winning!" That's losing, big-time.
“Banning “good” people like X,Y,and Z...”
Statements like these make me wonder if people are actually reading the thread or just listening to these anti FR sites spewing lies. The former FR people are going out with abusive comments to the owner of the site in most cases. Some are just leaving because their idiot comrads were seen to be zotted. No matter that they went on their own accord or begged to go or just left.
She does not have charisma....
