Something for grumbler to bitch about.

Habbaku

We actually have a forum member who thinks threads are worth starting threads over?

Who'd athunkit?
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Perhaps we could import the WWIII thread into this one.  It had potential until Grumbler decided it wasn't worth discussing.

:huh:  I didn't lock that thread.  Moan at the guy who did.

I am moaning at your moaning about that thread being started.  I agree you had no role in locking the thread.  As far as we know  :ph34r:  I was simply mocking your moaning.

So, you are now moaning that I was "moaning" about a thread-starting post that could easily have fit into another thread?  You sure do like to moan!  :lol:

I like to point out the absurdities of this place from time to time.  Yes.

And at some point you will understand what that really means. ;)

The funny thing is I used that in a conversation we had years back and then you started using it, often completely out of context.  Such is life on languish and particularly when dealing with you.

In the future, if you want to start a thread that Grumbler may shit on, just PM me and I'll post it.  He won't respond to me.  I'm like his Kyrptonite.  I actually don't know how to spell "Kyrptonite", but the spell checker wants to change it to, "Peritonitis".  Which works too.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

The funny thing is that you are so egotistical that you think you introduced that saying to languish.  :lol:

I have been using that expression since before Languish existed.  It's from George Carlin, as I recall.

Says the guy who is so egotistical that he thinks the not talking to me is some form of punishment.

I will respond so Grumbler can respond to me to carry on the charade of not reading your posts.
