AgentBirdnest: It should be our job to make fun of you :-P
"We whooped you British twice, as I recollect." - Tom Berenger as James Longstreet in "Gettysburg" ;-)
Twice?

The first time you needed the help of three other powerful nations. But what was the second one? If it was 1812, then I am not quite sure anyone won, let alone the US. You set out to invade Canada, the last time I looked, Canada is still free, and not flying the US flag. Also, don't forget we sacked Washington and burned down the White House. And lastly, don't forget we had bigger things to deal with in Europe, namely Emperor Napoleon. :-)

tinyE: I'd just like to point out, I'm not an American who makes fun of the French. I'm an American who makes fun of EVERYBODY!

Usually myself. :P
We kinda knew that ^^
At least we can make fun of anybody here, can't we ? And without offending anybody... Awesome.

trentonlf: ...
I understand what you are saying, but as I said to Crow, I have gotten some very nasty abuse from sharing some things, and I am just not in the mood for that right now, so I usually keep quiet about such things.
avatar
CarrionCrow: Yes, D. I'm going to take great offense at you telling the truth.
Now we must engage in digital thumb wrestling to determine the winner. Loser has to say the other person is right.
Unless I lose, in which case I'll still say you're wrong anyway. -laughs-

The sad thing is, a lot of people actually operate in such a way.
It's intensely silly and more than a little psychotic ultimately, but that's how it goes.

ddickinson: You would be surprised at the amount of nasty abuse I have got as a result of telling the truth. That's why I am always wary of mentioning things like this, as I like to have a nice time on the forum, not a silly argument.
Unfortunately, no I wouldn't. I've dealt with a lot of intensely idiotic people online over the years.

One of the big reasons why I very rarely speak with people outside of this space, actually.

I don't know, a woman who has no issues gutting a cow would scare the bejeezus out of me and make me think twice about any nasty abuse I sent her way ;)

I do understand though, some people or narrow minded and it's hard to escape the idiocy they dole out.

LaPtiteBete: I couldn't expect less from you, dear "roastbeef" neighbor !!
I love british humour, so you can go on.
I like how the French use the term roast beef and we use the term frogs, such silly names really. But I guess out of the two of them, I definitely like roast beef the best, tastes so much better. :-)

I'm not sure about that, in real live I am as gentle as anything, a perfect English lady. True I might look menacing when covered in animal blood, but generally I wouldn't hurt a fly. :-)

I do tend to share more than I normally would here, not just with the history stuff but also more personal things, like who I am in a relationship with. While I don't really share things in too much detail, so far it has been nice to be able to be open about things and not get confronted by the low lives of the internet.

Well this place certainly is full of some awesome people, which is why it's such a nice place to be.

Frog tastes like chicken.

Edit: And goes well with French fries.

Then why not just eat chicken? :-)

Hello, Endre! *hello hug*

Have you tried frogs legs? Or how about snails? And for a bizarre English dish, how about eel pie?

There are all kinds of low lifes out there roaming the net and looking to pounce on whoever they can find sadly. I'm glad GOG seems to be free of that the majority of the time, and when someone tries to be a low life they do not last long here ;)

I tried frog legs for the first time last year on a cruise, and I admit they do taste like chicken LOL

ddickinson: I think tomorrow will be hard for them both, finalising the arrangement and picking out the grave stone. They keep trying to put a brave face on it but they fail at it. Losing your child so young is bound to do that to the parents, and the rest of the family.

Are you knitting the fingerless mitts for the Owlets or for yourself?
(no offense or silly argument to me... but every sensitive subject can lead to somewhat offensive interpretations... even more since we don't easily see the "I'm joking" thing ! :-))
(I wish you all a good luck to go through this ordeal... I'll think hard about you...)
The fingerless mitts ? they're for none of us :) but for a good old friend... :)

I do eat chicken, it looks better and frog legs are like a gazillion dollars a pound. :-)

AgentBirdnest: Hey everyone. Wanted to stop by for a quick hello and *hug* for anyone who wants one before I pass out for the night.
Hey, Agent !!
I'd take a hug, please :)
Have a good night !!
**Tight and comfortable night hug**
Read you tomorrow ? :)

They don't really bother me, it's just that I get tired of dealing with them. I have had enough abuse form idiots in the real world, mainly about what I am, and I just find it easier to keep quiet about some things. It's only recently that I started being more open here, mainly due to me not caring what people think, and from some wonderful support I have gotten from a certain person on the forum.

Meh... frogs taste a bit disappointing. "Slightly" like chicken, but... with the smooth texture of fishes... well. What makes them "good" is mostly the seasoning... !

Hello and good night, little feathery friend!
**Big comfortable hug with hot chocolate on the side**
Hopefully read you tomorrow. My internet provider will be changing equipment in the morning. I'll be offline for a while :-( Hopefully I won't be gone long, though!
