What if I've had a really bad day, can't see the fine print, but post a question anyways?

That would make you the party of the first part.

Why can't-a the first part of the second party be the second part of the first party?
Then you got something...

Sounds kinda incestual to me

There's statutes you know, and stuatuary.

But.... what if I wanted to ask a serious question?

 

[Cat59]

Do you have a favourite Marx Brother and if so, who do you think they should have married?

I'd fall on you like the House of Usher.

But WHY did the Raven say, Nevermore!!!!

Harpo would be my favorite. I think his soulmate would have been someone whose soul was a deep, still pool whose quiet surface masked a turgid and angst-ridden core.

So, I'm thinking...Phyllis Diller.

 

[ravenscape]

But WHY did the Raven say, Nevermore!!!!

Because it was a mocking bird.

 

[Pats]

Because it was a mocking bird.

See? That wasn't so hard, was it. The raven was mocking him in his time of loss.

Do you ever post in the Discussion and Debate forums in threads that are not primarily for fellowship?

I prefer to think of it as a public service. EVERYONE wanted him to get over it, already.

Not so much anymore, though I still read pretty frequently.

Most of the threads give me an overwhelming sense of deja vu. It's also a little jarring because I usually post and read out of a desire to understand and foster understanding. There are enough participants who see the threads as games won on points to make the tone a little distasteful for me.

At the moment, I'm taking a voluntary hiatus from serious participation in the debate fora. It's my small way of lessening the workload of the Debate forum mods. They're stretched WAY thin.

I have a question from me and a few others who miss you elsewhere...

 

[Pats]

Now for a tough question, what is your favorite work of E.A. Poe's?

Elsewhere or ~~Elsewhere~~?

* head explodes

I really can't pick just one. He's a "body of work" writer.

How do you find the time to manage the Armory and keep up on all these threads? Was I really that unorganized or have you found a way to control the speed of time?
