Let's ask: Mods, sock puppet? You don't have to tell us who.

So, just leaving the cellar permanently now. was looking for intelligent comment and conversation. loooking... nope. not here.

Dear Sarah, or Andrew If I'm mistaken, your post makes no sense.
My original post was entirely respectful Ms Mason, followed by one comment. But I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume your contempt has been accumulating over time, reading the replies to other IOtDs.

Yes, we here in the depths of the Cellar tend to be glib, and maybe sophomoric in our humor (humour). The IOtDs tend to emanate from human foibles and strange behavior that is best viewed without taking them to seriously.

I would humbly suggest in the future, if you visit a website and you don't fit, quit. But don't make yourself look like an ass on the way out.

Anyway, I keep thinking this is about a Neil Simon movie.

Iron lungs are very low-tech and can be easily maintained, unlike respirators that require significant ongoing medical involvement.

What we choose to laugh at

Every once in a while we go on a road trip and visit our great aunt and head up to the cemetery where her ashes are interred. If we want to say "Hi, Mom!", we just add a little water...

My brother said that Mom is somewhere not making apologies for us. She's probably laughing her ass off, too! :D

We'll miss you, and your many wonderful contributions. Unless this account, created on May 12th 2009 (today), was a sock puppet made for the sole purpose of that one post. In which case you're still here (most likely) and don't have the guts to tell us how you feel under your normal username.

This thread has brought out more than one lurker. The above is just damn funny. Probably the truth too. :eek:

Wecome to the Cellar, ham4art. :D

Say, Ham4art, have you seen the BACON .... WTF? Thread. With a name like that, I think you might like it.

The Cellar: there really is something for everyone...

Except smesa the Horse's Ass. :headshake

I say we ban Smesa. All he/she ever does is stir the shit, I find that intolerably irritating.

Any seconders?

:p

OH what the heck - ban the smegma!

smesa expressed an opinion, whether you agree with that opinion or not, it was her(his) right to do so. Don't forget that post was moderated and approved by the management. Can we stop throwing stones now? :cool:
