I see you've crawled back out of your hole.

Yes, I have.  My office is being remodeled so I'm working from home with an unmonitored internet connection.  Thank you for noticing.

Back off, Bacardiandlime, or I'll be the one stealing your lunch money on this thread!


Sciencephd! The big girls are all picking on me!

I knew they were mean girls but I didn't know they were also big girls.  How big are they ?  Not sure I can handle a whole gang of em.



You know you love us mean girls. Stop lying.

Everytime I unzip my fly I find proof of evolution.  

do you keep a monkey in your pants?

Yes, I do, but they stay put. 

That seems like a waste of a good monkey.

Oh no, it's a mutually profitable arrangement. 

Is it a sockmonkey ?  http://www.sockmonkey.com/  Would that be a form of multi-purposing ?

Is it any wonder that entire school systems are opposed to teaching evolution in the schools?  A monkey down your pants must violate at least half a dozen commandments in any number of religions.

Then "stay put" does not mean in this context what I inferred it meant (i.e., zero movement).

Staying put and staying still are entirely different.  I also stay put, but I don't stay still.

That sock monkey that stays put, but does move around, should arouse a lot of interest.

And, Polly, you know you mean girls love being lied to.  Don't deny it, you naughty thing, you!

It may at first, but it is bound to lead to disappointment sooner or later.

I do deny it!  I do!

The proper forms must be observed in the ritual.  You lie, I object, you confront me, and I deny.

Now who's going to help complete the next part before Sciencephd finished whatever he's doing and regains focus on the issue at hand?

See, this is what confuses me:

If I post "you're composing your posts in English," well, that would be banal.

But if I post "you're a f***ing idiot moron," I could get warned by the moderators.

Go figure.

I think it's the redundancy of using both idiot and moron that trips the sensor.

Specifically those two words or any double noun combination?
