Robert knows he has been a contrary individual lately.

I prefer to take the high road and respond to him positively if he does the same to me. I see it as the best way to restore a good feeling here on these boards. That cannot be a bad approach to a turnaround here in this community.

Well you might as well root Robert Brooks Up the bum.

Yeah, I went a good bit past "little" rants, didn'I? Well, they started out that way at least. And I sure feel better having finally found a venue to purge myself.

Appologies to those that feel they need it. To those that got a chuckle - don't forget to tip your wait staff, they've been working hard tonight.

I'll tell ya true, I still feel like I hit the nail on the head on each one of these.

I still don't believe in accidents for the most part. Mostly, they're the result of someone making a decision to go faster than they know they should, cut a lane change closer than they know they should, go faster in general than they know they should, or, most commonly, make a conscious decision to pay attention to something other than the road - even for a little while. "Oops!" after any of those tings doesn't equate to an accident. It equates to an "On Purpose" where you didn't beat the odds that you weren't really taking seriously.

Hopefully nobody's dead or mutilated after your bet's been called.

No, this thread is about to get things off your chest so knock yourself out, my dear. :-D

I guess then you'll love the newest rant from Foamy, he makes excellent rants.

Oh, goodness, I hope I haven't fueled any fires. I was just starting to feel okay coming back here - for the third time.

Maybe I'll just duck out again for a couple of weeks.

Man, I wish the vitriol would die away ...

Sorry if I started someting - certainly never meant to.

No, you haven't.

I'm happy you're back. And I'm happy you are better. :-)

we cross-posted Fuzzy - I was thinking about things here while you posted this (above). I'm hoping for less anger around here. Okay, here's one that fits the topic:

People (regardless of the character of the people on each side) that can't stop sniping at each other. I understand the temptation.

The past is past. Allow people to grow. Robert, you have the ability to be cool, so be cool.

How about this for a prayer/blessing for all here:

May our Noodly Appendages never even come close to touching. But may we be blessed none the less.

Everybody be cool

M'k?

Robert, can you please post the Touched by His Noodly Appendage pic again? And can I post it on my cubicle wall?
Yes, I am an engineer working in a cubicle. Sigh.

Here you go. At the main site there's more, and you can choose your resolution on some of them. When you get bored in your cubicle you can play the flash game and touch people and dogs with your very own noodly appendage.
