On the gubmint warning site, the figure is definitely not arms akimbo.
On the "my filing techniques are unstoppable" one arm is akimbo. And one more thing, why is it that other's humor is not dissected and smashed, and the other jokers don't get made to feel like an idiot for finding something funny? My guess is most of you are jealous because I'm so much funnier than most of the rest of you. The exceptions don't need to treat me like dog food. So there's that.

Take another look Shawnee. tombstone only criticizes the web site, not you.
He (or she) dislikes a web site that you like, and you make a personal attack. I find that uncool.

You and about 100 others.
I'm sorry I'm not cool in your eyes. Seriously. Lucky tombstone has you to back him/her. Or was it yourself you were backing? Methinks...something about protesting too much. --the Fonz

I've been thinking about this exchange. Though YES my feelings were hurt when they probably shouldn't have been, let me ask you this:
Do you typically walk into a room, go up to someone you don't know, and tell them "your hair is stupid" or "is that the best music you could find" or "quit telling those stupid stories"? No, I bet you would not say those things even if you thought them. Being on the interwebz does not excuse making people feel bad about themselves or things they enjoy. The best response would have been NOTHING. My best response would have been to say exactly what I just said. Then I look at it this way: it's always easy to sit and wait like a spider for Shawnee to make what you perceive to be a social gaffe; most people can't stand her anyway and I'm sure I'll get lots of support and love. It's a cellar story as old as the hills, but there are SO many people here I like and respect so I keep coming back even though I know my slightest transgression will cause someone to tell me I'm uncool. I must have lost my rights to be a human being around post #1245. And in case you've never met me: I often respond in a smartass way to my perceived slights...but there is humor behind it, and I do believe I still have every right to call someone on crappy behavior, whether you believe I have those rights or not. Call a mod, have me evicted, whatever you think is best. I still maintain that I would not walk up to a stranger and insult them or anything about them. Society tells me to hang on to those insults until I know a person a bit better.

I love you, Shawnee, and I think you're hilarious.
Jinxie----(mind if I call you Jinxie? Reminds me of Pixie which reminds me of you--lemme know, k?) that gubmint website made me laugh so hard I think my stomach muscles actually got a workout similar to Pilates. YAY! and I think you're a smart cookie, too, Shawnee.

Shawnee, I think your humor is hillarious, you don't need no stinkin' exterior website.

Oh, gosh, Shawnee, I'm so sorry! I never meant my remarks about the website you mentioned to be construed as as an insult to you. I merely meant exactly what I said--nothing more. Also, I did not intend "Tombstone" to be my moniker. Not being too computer-savvy, I typed it in the wrong place and didn't realise it until too late. Tombstone only enters in because I have some family history in the town, including a great uncle who was a local gambler and gunslinger and friend of Wyatt Earp and Doc Holiday. The fact that he was a great uncle will give you some clue as to my age, and today, I am feeling very old indeed! Please accept my apology.

No no no...no apology needed, though it was very kind of you. I'm overly sensitive sometimes, very smart-mouthed, and sometimes a little quick on the trigger.
Let's just start over! Welcome tombstone! I like the origin of your name.
