Oh, my goodness...where do I start? http://oprano.com/msgboard/images/smilies/blink.gif

You do, as a matter of fact, waste a great deal of time with words. I will allow you the small dignity of attempting to figure out what I just said on your own. You won't, of course, but many others will. (Note to others: no points, please. I hate it when it's this easy. Usually.)

I believe that I may say safely that you are as "in" as you are destined to get.

The answer's in the question.

I will definitely agree here. I would not categorize Red as a "chick." The reasons why are not relevant to your manner of...dare I use the word?...thinking.

I prefer my name capitilized, if holding down the shift key doesn't tax you too greatly.

In the subculture jargon you insist on using - innappropriate thought it may be - "aggressive femme" is an oxymoron. (I will pause while you research.) Back yet? We shall continue. I am definitely assertive. I am situationally aggressive. This, however, is not one of those situations. I'm afraid the other "femmes" would not find me fitting to be one of their number, for reasons too numerous to list here.

I would deeply appreciate it if you send me the names of anyone who contacts you with regards to doing business with you.

They shall be lobotomized immediately.

I used to be in the business back when and I was the odd job man. I thought maybe I could get back into the racket.

Yeah butches and punks all over the place out in the world.

Re: I think I finally figured out this post thing
 

If you used to be in the business back when, you must have been a child prodigy, because you sound like you're only about 16 now.

Butches and punks? Oh please, give me a break.

Re: I think I finally figured out this post thing
 

butches shoulda been bitches. I don't waste a lot of times with words in the world. Takes more words then I like to talk this way.

So you think you decide who is in around here. Maybe you do maybe you dont.

ok i got confused so I dont know if you and red are chicks or guys or what anymore.

I put capitol letters on important shit I dont waste them on the help.

Nah, an aggressive bitch is ok. I know lots of guys that would bve punked if they didnt have some mean mama waiting to lay in to them in the world.

Guys that do business with me will get what they pay for. an honest job at an honest wage. Nobody does shit better then me.

and the fancy college talk don't faze me. I can talk the talk if I need to but I dont like to seem uppitty.

Re: I think I finally figured out this post thing
 

So. You desire to throw down with me. As you wish.

Listen you little squat brained weasel, you don't use more words because you only fucking know about ten. You sound like you've been punked out so many times your asshole has such an echo that your neighbors can hear your farts for days. You've got "doing shit" down to an art and I don't imagine that you could find anybody this side of an institution's walls that does shit better than you. You ain't fazed by the "college talk" because you didn't understand a word of it. I imagine "seeming uppity" isn't a real big problem for you unless you're comparing the paint jobs on the double wides with some other asshole who thinks his beer bottle collection is art. Go find some siliconed, dive bar waitress to suckle you and see if this time puberty hits.

Re: I think I finally figured out this post thing
 

Do you like to seem even the least bit intelligent?

Re: I think I finally figured out this post thing
 

I dont go to the mats with content.

Re: I think I finally figured out this post thing
 

Damn.

Was reading this thread as CSN's Deja Vu was playing on the radio.

Coincidence? I think not ...

Re: I think I finally figured out this post thing
 

Do you consider all women in this business content?

The content that posts on this board could wipe the floor with you.

The women of this board are bright, articulate and sexy. 3 qualities you obviously do not posess.

Re: I think I finally figured out this post thing
 

hehe It's the only reason I didn't add I squash bugs too! ;)

Re: I think I finally figured out this post thing
 

I'm sure there's a few women in the biz who aren't so always happy.

hahahahahaha!

Re: I think I finally figured out this post thing
 

Would this count as one of those hello threads that went horribly wrong :unsure: :scratchin

Re: I think I finally figured out this post thing
 

Ooh! Hubba-hubba and a half, there, testerosterone laden hunkosaurus! :yowsa:

(I got a "MMMOOOOOMMMM!!!" yesterday that curled my blood. I had to go rescue my 26 year old daughter - from a *dead* spider. Now, I admit I have the creepies over a species of bug or two, but the subcategory known as "bug corpses"? Uh...no.)

I'll be spending the rest of the day trying to figure out why dictionary.com gave me two contradictory definitions of "homonym." In one, sound *and* spelling have to be the same but definition different; in the other sound *or* spelling have to be the same and definition different.

There really should be a law. :hmm:

(Points to anybody *besides* Drav and Red who can tell me why I was thinking about this in the first place.)

Re: I think I finally figured out this post thing
 

Just to confuse you even more, I found this:

Heteronyms are words that are spelled identically but have different meanings when pronounced differently, usually through accenting different parts of the same word.

For example: Lead, pronounced LEED, means to guide. However, lead, pronounced LED, means a metallic element.

Heteronyms are specific types of homographs in which the different pronunciations are associated with different meanings. Basically, words with one spelling, but two pronunciations and two unrelated meanings.


Homonyms are words that are spelled and pronounced the same but have different meanings. In other words, Homonyms are words with one spelling and one pronunciation, but two unrelated meanings, such as bear or left or just or pole.


Homographs are words that are spelled the same but differ in meaning, derivation, or pronunciation. Basically, Homographs are words which have one spelling but two pronunciations and two distinct meanings or usages.

For example: Consider the word tear. Does it rhyme with pear/pair/pare? Or with hear/here?


Homophones are words that are pronounced the same but differ in meaning, derivation, or spelling. In other words, Homophones are classified as words with two spellings and two meanings, but only one pronunciation.

For example: Like pear and pair. And pare. These words are spelled differently but sound the same. The English language is riddled with such aural ambiguities.

Re: I think I finally figured out this post thing
 

I am suddenly having flashbacks to sophmore English class. :mad:

Re: I think I finally figured out this post thing
 

:1thud:

Now, normally this is the type of thing that would get me high for the rest of the day. However, even for me...this is a tad much.

Heteronyms and Homographs both seem to cover that "content/content" situation.

(Thanks though, Red. I *do* so adore stuff like that, even if periodically my head explodes. :okthumb: )

Re: I think I finally figured out this post thing
 

I do believe I'm over the legal limit on English classes and can tell you right now that all a good English class does is give you a good ear. You will *never* remember the actual rule for why something is right or wrong, but you'll know it when you hear it.

I was a guest speaker at a middle school English class and when I said that to the class I thought the teacher (darling, cute, dedicated teacher that he was) nearly achieved a certain degree of physical release. He nodded at me like a mad thing with a huge grin. The class, of course, also nodded. (Just as children will take as gospel truths something said by anyone other than their parents - even if their parents said the same damned thing, students hang onto every word of the way cool "guest speaker," even if their teacher had been trying to pound the same thing into their little skulls.)

One of the more fun things with that little exercise was finding out about the nickel budget (whatever, schools are broke) the school newspaper had. I handed the principal a check for $50 and said "you just received an anonymous donation for the school newspaper's printing cost, got it?" She smiled and nodded and had a death grip on the check.

OT: I have had my small tastes in the "use of power" in my life. "Power" means different things to different people, and of course the use and/or abuse of power has even more meanings. My tenure with the PTA, etc., gave me quite a taste for the "big fish, small pond" use of power. I rather liked having a large group of people all thinking/saying their personal versions of "don't fuck with this bitch."

Re: I think I finally figured out this post thing
 

How the hell did this thread get from preparing to squash the life out of a newbie poster to a discussion of English class ? :blink:


English class was gay.
Worrying about proper English is gay.
Correcting folks improper english is gay.
Discussing English class as if it is interesting to someone is gay.
Responding to this post in any manner is gay.






:yowsa:

Re: I think I finally figured out this post thing
 

You are assuming it's a newbie poster.

I have my doubts.

Re: I think I finally figured out this post thing
 

When, in your entire life, have you not had doubts ? :blink:

Re: I think I finally figured out this post thing
 

Either way, they were getting ready to squash it :yowsa:

Re: I think I finally figured out this post thing
 

I was just helping Morgan out with her confusion on homonyms.

As far as this asshole, he is the world's greatest proof of reincarnation; no one could get that dumb in just one lifetime.

Re: I think I finally figured out this post thing
 

I doubt that I can prove to you that there were times I was without a doubt.

In other words, your doubts about my ability to not doubt are doubtful.

Re: I think I finally figured out this post thing
 

From the point this thread was created, I was reluctant to click on it due to the sheer stupidity of its title. I avoided clicking on it until now... when I lacked anything better to do. Upon reading the first page, I was was apprehensive about clicking through to view page 2... although I will confess that the content of page 2 seriously appealed to my "bitch" side... :D

Page 3 has been delightful; Coincidentally, 'it' has not appeared yet on page 3...
