How many different ways can you say "flat"?

How many orders have you got?

Kind of interesting weather this morning. It was warm and dry as I stepped outside this morning. There was not at drop of dew on my windshield as there usually is. No fogging on the inside on the way to work. High stratus cloud layer over the lowlands, but clear over the mountains. You could see "ripple-like" clouds over the west foothills of the Cascades.

Could it be that Chockstone is Johnny Destiny?

I think Johnny can be forgiven in this instance. I'm really sorry to hear about your misfortune, Johnny.

Well folks, you heard it from the man...

We'd need to think of a catchier name than just "The Banned Avatar Forum". Here's some suggestions: The Cesspool Purgatory The Forum of Eternal Damnation Hell Frozen Over

That's very interesting MisterE. I know that moderators, Timmy and Jon can read PMs. Trask must have paid off one of them to rat on other people. They may even have a filter to collect PM's containing the word "trask". All you have to do is substitute an altered string, such as trashk or just refer to him by some other moniker, like the Grand Poobah of Penis Envy. Something like that. Remember, everyone, treat your PM's like a public conversation.

Patrick_Beebe and Winter are both on the mark.

Let's give fiona a hearty cc.com welcome.

Was that not a joke? Was that not clear, that the intention was to make a joke? It was clear to me that you intended it as a joke, but apparently, there are things that you just can't joke about.

Don't be such a pussy. My old man and the other Kappa Sig pledges ate puke outta a bucket for hell week at the UW in '42. They fuckin survived. He survived only to pass genetic mutations in his sperm.

Just do it at Exit 38.

I call bullshit on you erik. Don't go blaming the Sierra Club for the present situation. Blame clearcutting and blame fire suppression. The problem is that the sort of cutting that is needed to protect the forests from fire is to remove the smallest trees and brush. There just isn't any profit in this. The money is in the big trees. So to make the deal sweet enough for private industry to cut small trees near developed areas, Bush gave them the right to clear cut acreage in forests far from inhabited zones. But the fact is there isn't enough cutting in the plan to even keep up with the growth rate of combustible material near inhabited areas. It is going to probably require spending tax dollars to get the protection from fire that people are seeking.

You should be grateful that the mods think highly enough of you to tell you want people are saying about you. Sounds like they figure if the dead horse argument worked to get rid of Dwayner, they'll try using it to get rid of you. Probably won't work.

That joke works.

I think a good nickname for that person would be Ill, as in sick. Easy to remember, easy to type.

I think that RobBob has a good point. You have to start posting to really have fun. Come on lurkers, give it a try! Lotus, n. The fruit consumed by the lotus eaters. The lotus creates a state of mind in those who eat it which erases all goals, all memory of home, all desire to do anything except to continue to consume the lotus...

Don't you mean the gay unborn baby environmentalist snaildarterspottedowlwhales?

Thank you guys. That was just so uplifting.

...

Gee, I hope those cow brains are certified free of BSE particles.

I'd say that poor sentence structure is an unforgivable sin. There pope, is that better? The little nurd guy was supposed to be there so you'd know it was a facetious statement.

Is this fellow the same gregm of cc.com? I recogized the names of some of his friends, such as Phil Fortier and Dave Burdick as also being cc.com folks. That one photo of the summit block in profile is pretty cool looking.

Dru has been too busy posting as Chockstone to post as himself.
