Yeah, I don't get it either! I thought a lefthanded compliment was an indirect compliment.

Can we please keep politics off the board? It makes things hostile.

Additionally, it's an election year. I think many people would appreciate a place NOT to find rhetoric. :?

I agree with Nan.
*pokes Nan*
Yup, this Nan right here.
*pokes Nan*
Good thinking Nan.
*pokes Nan*
This is kinda fun.
*pokes Nan*
Is "Kinda" a word?
*pokes Nan*
What are your thoughts, Nan?
*pokes Nan*
Ah, why do you look so upset?
*pokes Nan*
Nan?
*pokes Nan*
Okay, Nan, put that down.
*pokes Nan*
You don't want to do that, Nan.
*pokes Nan*
Nan!?

Sorry. Had just watched This Hour Has 22 Minutes, and was on the Rick Mercer bandwagon...have edited it.

And nobody joined my Drive for Emoticons! Oh well, I suppose I will just have to make due with the ones here, which are not actually that bad.

:!: And Kira, I am a GIRL! *grr* :!:

Whoa! Opium, no one was asking you to edit that post. Nan has a point about keeping politics off the board, but what's been posted has been posted, and now all the replies make no sense.

And the old emoticons are coming back... didn't I say that at some point? No drives needed.

Which makes the post a lefthanded compliment to me. (Hmmm...Xeroc, apparently a lefthanded compliment is one which is "dubious or of doubtful sincerity," so I guess we're both wrong. I thought it just meant one that had some sort of catch to it.)

Public service announcement:

Poking Nan will result in her flipping out and attacking you with a nearby pointy implement and plunging it into your soft, unprotected flesh. Over and over again.

Sa'ar knows this well.

Carrots are pointy. They hurt. So do arrows (there's a goblin that knows this very well).

Now it makes sense if you look veeeeeeeeeeery closely!

Well then, I guess I should end my Emoticons campaign, which consisted all of a colourful sig and a post or two.

*pokes Nan*

While I'm at it, I may as well use... TWO EXCLAMATION POINTS!! OR EVEN THREE!!!

Now that I've totally invalidated my vote and possibly my lease on life, I say "eTrektion" is just kind of irritating.

Shouldn't there first be a recall vote on B+B? Possibly led by the elusive Jeice O. Garricker?

Finally, what exactly where those Greek letters, Zeke? What? I should come closer? No! Put down the Hammer of Smiting! Put it DOWN! Ahhhh-GAK! (!!)

Look at the bottom of the TJI page.

And you're asking for a serious beating, wowbagger.

Please don't poke me, Wowbagger. It's annoying and bothers me.

^ Poking that one is about as good an idea as poking Kira, wowbagger.

Poking 17 on the other hand is just plain fun!

Well, until she gets the sharp pointy things out that is...

Thank you! I knew there had to be someone out there who thought so. You've restored my faith in human decency.

What? No, I'm still going to call it that.

What would the difference be between this and a recall vote? I don't see one -- that's why I had Arnie say he'd "already done one of these."

Heehee. TJI has gone story arc-ish. Extremely funny! :mrgreen:

Also, old smilies are coming back? Does this mean new smilies will go away?

NNNNNNNNnnnnoooooooooooo!

The Twisted Smiley must not go away! The old smiley set had NO quality evil smiley! :shock: :shock: :shock:

I asked this before - is it not possible to just import more smilies from somewhere?

But that wouldn't be nearly as simple to put in as just typing twisted between two colons, though. :roll:
