DucksNuts 06-12-2007 08:26 PM

Me too! But then I wonder wtf is clowder. So now I looked it up and now I know.

Clodfobble 06-12-2007 10:19 PM

I do have a really good chowder recipe if he's ever interested.

lumberjim 06-12-2007 11:56 PM

clowder: a group of feral cats.

I did the same thing!

There's a whole cat motif going on in the Cellar.

Sundae 06-13-2007 03:12 PM

Well the NSFW picture thread has just embraced pussy :)

Cloud 06-13-2007 03:39 PM

wait -- how did this get in this thread. Isn't there a whole 'nother thread about animal groups? (confused).

I actually thought it was chowder at first, but it's clowder. And just so you know, it refers to my two beloved Siamese kitty-cat boys, whom I really should take some pics of.

Yes - you should... what flavor are they? I have a flame and a seal.

Cloud 06-13-2007 04:00 PM

I have Miles-- a Siamese/Birman mix--seal point with white feet--Mr. Elegant;

and Ivan--a fat hybrid seal point with a cobby body, who fetches.

it's so funny to see, because they have very similar coloring with very dissimilar body types. They are not purebred.

they were so cute this morning! and they are so spoiled! I'm trying not to turn into one of these witchy old ladies with 100 cat clowder. :)

Edit: okay, I posted some pics in the post your pet thread. They're not very good, and yes, there are two different cats there.

You want to cook them and put them in tupperware for tomorrow's lunch?!

xoxoxoBruce 06-14-2007 02:28 PM

You can't do that. Who ever heard of eating pussy... for... lun.. uh, nevermind.

lumberjim 09-14-2007 07:09 PM

just the fact that a pm is private...technologically...does not mean that it is private information. you can't send someone a PM out of the blue and just assume that they will behave as though they were your psychiatrist or attorney. there is no pmee/pmer confidentiality rule in place.

Establishing a trust with someone and being betrayed is one thing....but being exposed in your attempts to whisper down the lane is another altogether.

Aliantha 09-15-2007 12:21 AM

ok, who's been telling on who now?

Razzmatazz13 09-15-2007 07:22 PM

I admit it I know who it was!!!


It was Prof Plumb, in the courtyard, with the candlestick!

I just couldn't keep it inside any longer!!:mecry:

DanaC 09-17-2007 12:26 PM

With a lotta lube and a lotta effort

Razzmatazz13 09-17-2007 01:34 PM

Haha!! Ah, you guys just made my day. Thanks. :)

Shawnee123 09-17-2007 03:11 PM

Had to come up with something: the whole Clue connection made me chuckle! :)

Nope, I read it just fine and saw it for what it was, apologist bullshit.

oh..i see you're a moron then? yes, i'm using your own favorite words against you.


what part of it was apologetic?

i came a cross this thread, re read it, got re-mad, and wanted to point out that unless you ask someone to treat the contents of a pm as private (..... and get their assurance that they will do so....) ahead of time....then you should have no expectation that they treat it confidentially.

rkzenrage 09-17-2007 08:57 PM

Riiiiigggght.. it would be CRAZY for someone to think you would NOT treat a PRIVATEmessage as something else.
LOL!!!
Yeah, I'm the moron. You run with that.

lumberjim 09-17-2007 09:09 PM

it's called a PRIVATEmessage because it is sent to one person and and not posted on a bulletin board. As I said, confidentiality should not be assumed. If you tell someone something and they repeat it, or convey your message to other people, theres no foul. UNLESS you ask them to hold it private. In some cases, the information shared is inherently private. But it aint automatic. IOW, if you sent me a PM saying that you were sexually attracted to Spexxvet, but were afraid to say it to him....I wouldn't post that. But if you mentioned that you thought he looked hawt in his new sweat suit, I might make reference to that if the topic came up.

rkzenrage 09-17-2007 09:17 PM

Yup, he's runnin' with it.

lumberjim 09-17-2007 09:20 PM

naw....i'm standing here with my legs spread slightly in superman fashion, and i have it hanging out of my zipper. it's danglin' for ya.

Aliantha 09-18-2007 01:17 AM

So now if you want every one of your PM's to be private, you probably need to put a disclaimer at the bottom like they put on some company emails. You know..."the contents of this message are meant for the recipient and no one else. The contents of this message are confidential blah blah blah..."

Is that right?

if I have an expectation of the contents being treated confidentially, then yes.

LabRat 09-18-2007 10:54 AM

I have stayed out of this till now. I agree with LJ's definition of a PM.

I don't PM much, but when I do, it's because I want to say something specifically to a single person. I make no assumptions about them keeping it private from the rest of the board.

As if I was at a party (just can't get away from this analogy) and was talking quietly in a corner with someone. If I didn't want them to repeat what I was about to say, then I wouldn't say it in the first place.

That being said, I wouldn't blab to any third parties about what I have been chatting with a person. I figure, if they wanted that third person to know, they'd tell them themselves. It's not my place to do so. There are a few exceptions, like if I am honestly worried about the well being of someone.

How about if the someone took you into a seperate room, with the sign "this room is for private communications" over the door. You know, the one down the hall, next to the bathroom. Would you then keep your conversation confidential?

And I do. ;)

LabRat 09-18-2007 12:26 PM

Like I said, I would keep any conversation to myself. As for expecting the other person to keep it between us, I could say "This stays between us" till I'm blue in the face and have a signed contract fron the other person, but have learned enough times that it never does anyway...so if I don't want it leaked, I keep my mouth shut.

LabRat 09-18-2007 12:27 PM

The only person I totally trust is my husband.

Shawnee123 09-18-2007 12:38 PM

Well, it's a quote from Forrest Gump.

LabRat 09-18-2007 12:46 PM

Um, yeah. I knew that. What were you referring to when you posted it?

Shawnee123 09-18-2007 01:08 PM

It's an obscure reference that I feel under no obligation to explain. A wise man once told the masses that people either get the joke or they don't; explaining it is moot.

Why do you ask, twice???????

LabRat 09-18-2007 03:03 PM

Because obviously I wanted to know what the heck you were going on about. If it's a joke, and you don't want to explain it to someone who wishes to understand, so be it.

Lazy is as lazy does.

Shawnee123 09-18-2007 03:23 PM

Because obviously you haven't been interested in anything I've said since I've been here, so now I'm asking why are you suddenly? You so "wish to understand me" now? Yeah, right.

Methinks you construed it as something to do with you, or you wouldn't ask. But rest assured, it has nothing to do with you. Believe it or not, not everything in the world, not even the Cellar, is about you.

Flint 09-18-2007 03:27 PM

Let's see...27 or 29 people here are cutting each other to pieces, crying, being paranoid, poking each other's eyes out, and whining. And you get crazy from that little exchange? Ohhhhhhhhhhkaayyyyyyy...

Screenplay:

Poster # 1: quotes a line from a movie
Poster # 2: what does that mean
Poster # 1: it's a quote from a movie
Poster # 2: well, what's it mean?
Poster # 1: it doesn't really mean anything. why do you ask? (slightly concerned about seeming suspicion)
Poster # 2: I asked because I am interested to know what it means.
Poster # 1: It's not about you.

Cast extras: omg, they've all gone crazy, catfight...etc and so on.

Call out the national guard, quick!
