That is all.

That is all.

Your minister handed out cigarettes today?

Of course this went over your head...

How strange. I understood Beebs -- and Esto -- perfectly. It was all in the timing and the context. And, of course, the timing is long past, which makes the context greatly muddled.

Would you (or someone else) care to enlighten me? --Bob

I assumed she was referring to the foul-mouthed Pastor's rant about you. Apparently, you have persecuted one or more good people.

As usual, the coward went way over the line, used a lot of non-Pastorly language and imagery and then, true to style, buried it at the end of his crappy game thread, where the least number of people would be likely to read it. Oops. I said "game thread," but that would require someone else to post to it. It's in his crappy game post.

If, however, she WAS referring to her minister handing out cigarettes, I will send BJ a c-note, as this would be about the first time he's ever been right about anything.

[Beebs52]

Correct. Sorry, went off to do other stuffm

I will not tolerate a coward on my Bored, so I'll put this damning to hell comment out there for all to admire...

Nobody should really explain why I'm advertising The Fireplace Channel, but since this is the WWTBAM Bored, everything needs to be explained. It's because I'M IN HELL AND I'M BURNING! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Hell has been getting very crowded lately with all of the people who claimed to be Christians but voted for that rubber-faced gropeopotamus Donald Drumpf. Just think how crowded it'll be down here once the other 62 million people finally drop dead. But don't worry, Bob78164. There will still be plenty of room down here for closet conservatives like you, too. The demons can't wait to do to you what Bill McKinney did to Ned Beatty in "Deliverance". Maybe then, you'll learn not to persecute good people.

Guess you better atone for your sins, Bob, or you'll be sharing a warm room with me, Esto, Fanny, Sprots, BiT, Confessor, Ms. Camaro, HoltDad, flock, Spock, Chad... and I'm sure there are other "sinners in the mind of one" hanging around this den of heathens. I wonder if this is how Fred Phelps got his start.....

THAT'S BS! I've been assured I'll have a private room.

Of course, because I didn't read that post.

I wasn't too far off though: The Pastor was smoking.

[Beebs52]

Man. I never get invited to any parties.

With every passing day that I check in here, I am hearing more strongly the Madonna song at the end of "A League Of Their Own":

This used to be my playground
This used to be my childhood dream
This used to be the place I ran to
Whenever I was in need
Of a friend
Why did it have to end
And why do they always say
Don't look back
Keep your head held high
Don't ask them why
Because life is short
And before you know
You're feeling old
And your heart is breaking
Don't hold on to the past
Well that's too much to ask
This used to be my playground (used to be)
This used to be my childhood dream
This used to be the place I ran to
Whenever I was in need
Of a friend
Why did it have to end
And why do they always say
No regrets
But I wish that you
Were here with me
Well then there's hope yet
I can see your face
In our secret place
You're not just a memory
Say goodbye to yesterday (the dream)

Ah. Thanks. I haven't been reading the game posts.

I appreciate Beebs's sentiment, but unless such rants get traction (in which case defending my reputation, such as it is, is appropriate), my own policy is to ignore them. I can't see any reason to get upset at someone calling me names or accusing me of untoward conduct. If the names are accurate or I really did engage in the conduct, then the comments are appropriate. If not, then calling me those names or accusing me of that conduct won't make it so. Either way, objecting to the comments (in this case) will neither stop them nor change the truth or falsity of what's been posted. And in my experience, engaging merely feeds the troll. --Bob

My post was a reaction to the entire post and its rather virulent, violent tone. He is seriously off.

I don't disagree. I just think disengagement is the more productive strategy. Both for me personally and for the Bored as a whole. --Bob

I didn't engage with him, nor would I. Just think maybe eyeballs need to be open sorta.

[Vandal]

My crappy promos don't get nearly this much attention.

I must be doing it wrong.

(A new one is coming soon.)
