Bio- I am available for custom orders! I might be able to whip up a one-use thermite aluminum bat (heh... a one-off bat).
Alan
Hah! Oh, goodness, yes! I think you could patent the one-off bat. Thermite makes good heat and a very respectably fast reaction, but I think we might also want to add a TATP (triacetone triphosphate) outer layer so that it detonates on contact. I can provide the safety gear for construction. There's all sorts of good gear on the hazmat truck. 8^) <looks it up> Is that triacetone triperoxide?<reads for a few moments> Whoa... I've led a sheltered life! Alan Oops, yes. That's what I get for Posting While Exhausted. Peroxide, not phosphate. It's a blast! ;) |

Hmm. Thanks Polly. But you know, that still isn't what Lousia said I said. That "clarify your position?" Not my tone of voice. I'll still say, "Get a thicker skin (and snark back) or avoid the sensitive topics." Nothing there about clarifying anyone's position. I think that goes back to several people on here always saying "cite your references!" or "support your claims!" But you know, a lot of what I've been seeing isn't the above. I don't see any thick skins or snarking back. I see whining. But then again, that is just me. I could be wrong. Piece of advice from someone who knows: Grow a thicker skin or stay away from sensitive topics. (And yes, I got that from VP [interthreaduality] back in my newbie days!)
I thought the advice used to be "Clarify your position, ignore it, or snark back". Have you changed your mind? *perplexed look* What? When did I say that? That doesn't even sound like me. Did I say it when... Nope, not then. Maybe I said it... No, don't think so. Hmm. Must have been someone else's words. Who said that? *hands on hips* Huh? BTW, can I join the RCIB? Puh-leeeeeeeeze? |

Seriously, do you know how many people here think this is about them? But I know (yes I do) that it is about me! And it gives me that wonderful mix of chagrin and pleasure. Chagrin - my humor is not appreciated. Pleasure - she thought about me. OK, I need to leave this room and see some people... |

But then I remembered that I'm actually even funnier than I think I am. So I've got that going for me. |

What on earth could possibly make you think that reviving that dead horse was funny, or witty, or a good joke, or in any way possible a good idea?

Not a good idea. Maybe we should chalk it up to a sugar buzz from Halloween candy. Let's hope it gradually makes its way to page two...three...four...oblivion.
