I didn't say that I didn't like karaoke, and I never said that anything was wrong with monkeys on Harleys.  
But what amuses and excites can also frighten, if the intensity is turned up higher than one is accustomed to.
There are limits to my intelligence, my savvy, and my nerve.  And I'm not going to pretend that I don't have those limits just to make myself sound cooler than I really am, nor pretend to ennui with their antics in order to salvage my ego.
They frighten the hell out of the lady in me.
Elves suck.
Yeah, I said it, I went there.  Whatcha gonna do?

Part of the fun of hanging out with people like that is YOU are hanging out with THEM.  I suspect that they wouldn't let you get hurt, not too bad anyway.  :twisted:  I wouldn't want to be the guy who pissed them off, but then I don't usually butt into stranger's conversations.  Especially not in a biker bar.  :roll:  Of course, it has been a long time since I have seen a good bar room brawl, with beer bottles broken over heads, It might not be as much fun as it used to be, or it might be even more fun.  And if you do hang with them, leave the lady in you at home, or drink until you can no longer hear her voice  :twisted:

Bar fight?  You think they scare me because of the possibility of getting in a pissant bar fight?  In a biker bar?  

Damn.  You make a lot of quick assumptions about people you've never met before, Eldora.

Actually I have no idea why you would be frightened, you said a lot of things, but you never said what it was about what they were talking about that would frighten you.  And I never said you would be frightened because of a bar fight, you assumed that was what I meant, I was just kind of thinking out loud about weird things that have happened to me hanging out with strange people.

Possibly you might be confused as to the nature of my conversation with Rog because it wasn't meant for you to understand or comment on, or for you to use as a springboard to try bringing yourself to Rog's attention.
Here's an idea:  if you don't quite understand all the undercurrents of my relationship with any given member of this forum, you can safely make the assumption that your butting in will not be appreciated.

Hey, now...

TGRR,
Was going to say something witty, but the Angel of Survival Instincts stopped by.

"Billy, when I say that ethics is our number one priority and safety is also our number one priority, you should take that to mean exactly what I said. Also quality. That's our number one priority as well. Don't look at me that way, you're in the corporate world now and this is how it works."

I'm sorry, I thought that this was a public post on a public forum. If you've got delicate undercurrent, take it to PM.

And just from a third party perspective, that last post was more unladylike than than any number of monkeys singing to Foghat on motorcycles. Even bikers have better manners.
Making people sorry they asked since 1983.

Good plan. There was no way anything you could have said at that moment would have been a good thing for you in the long run cuz you would have had at least one woman upset with you.  

But I'm not a guy, so I can butt right in. Hoshiko's right. Public comments are open for public discussion.
just like in a dream
you'll open your mouth to scream
and you won't make a sound

you can't believe your eyes
you can't believe your ears
you can't believe your friends
you can't believe you're here

Quote from: EraPassingWell, that's very interesting, Hoshiko.

Now that's a Miss Manners worthy response.

That's OK, Rog could have said just about anything at that point without me getting mad, I was laughing too hard.


Era, if I want to get Rog's attention, I'll just do this, HI ROG!!!!  If I wanted to get Rog's attention without anyone else butting in, I would click the magic button below his name, the one labeled PM.  It brings up a window where I can type a message for Rog alone.  I am not sure if you are cleared to know anything else about the interactions between Rog and me.  I don't care if you know, but I will leave that to Rog, since you seem to think you are closer to him than I am.  Rog, you can feel free to share any info about our relationship with Era, I have nothing to hide.  Just leave my husband out of it.  Plus, I would most certainly NEVER ask any one ever to install any AOL product, for Bob's sake.  And you may not appreciate my butting in, but other people have expressed to me that they appreciate my bizarre off the wall comments.  Others agree with you.  And since pretty much no one ever gets banned and your only complaint is that I posted in a thread you seem to think was a personal playground for you and Rog, I don't think you'll get very far.  I may understand your relationship with Rog, or maybe I don't, but mostly, I don't give a fuck and it is none of my business.  You can feel free to go back to munching on his cranium, since the two of you seem to enjoy that so much, hehehehehehehe :D

There's this chick I know who, no matter what the situation you may be talking about, not only has experienced that situation, but handled it better than the person she's talking to, is more than willing to tell you how she handled it, and is far too jaded and blase about life to ever be impressed with something that might strongly affect another person.  She's absolutely chock-full of oh-so-well-meaning advice or related comments.  And on and on -
Well, yall get the mental image of the kind of person I'm talking about.  

What makes her condescension less tedious is that she actually has a clue.  Even at her most condescending, she's capable of holding her end of the conversation coherently instead of liberally splashing around advice and comments which, for all I know, are inspired by the fairies in her head.  This agreeable personality trait, and more importantly, the fact that I've never caught her talking about me behind my back, is what makes her completely different from Eldora.

And for anyone who doesn't understand this, the term "relationship" is really nothing more than the specific interaction between two people, and any given person on this board has a relationship with any other given person on this board.  If, as Eldora not-so-subtly hints, Rog's private relationship with her is stronger than my very public relationship with him, and this posts offends him...  Too bad.  I'll accept my "do never" comment.  At least I'm not interfering in that relationship behind her back, which is a courtesy she has, at least once, not bothered to extend to me.

So, yeah, this is a public forum, and we all get on each others' nerves after a while.  We all have irritating habits.  That does not mean that when one person has been the victim of another person's irritating habits more than once, that we are obliged to keep our mouths shut about being fed up with it.

No really, grow a sense of humor.  Y'all just look silly.
The Jerk On Bike rolled his eyes and tossed the waffle back over his shoulder--before it struck the ground, a stout, disconcertingly monkey-like dog sprang into the air and snatched it, and began to masticate it--literally--for the sound it made was like a homonculus squatting on the floor muttering "masticate masticate masticate".
