Obama's first failed appointment - Page 4

Beestie · 01-09-2009, 02:37 AM

And all this time I thought we were discussing the merits of an important political appointment.

I'll never learn.

Heh...I wonder what I should be doing that would make Merc think I was doing something of substance? He seems to like hookers, exotic dancers, and people who shoot things.

I really need to give back to society. I'm shamed, I am.

OH NO! That image even frightens me...shudder shudder. lol

Merc shows his true colors once again.

Nasty nasty man.

To be fair to Merc, when i queried him on it he said that wasn't what he'd meant. I'd be interested in knowing what he did mean.

Shawnee123 · 01-09-2009, 11:44 AM

You won't get a response. That's the usual MO (and I've said this elsewhere): THATs not what I meant...I didn't mean THAT, you don't get what I MEAN" but you will never hear a response when asking for clarification, because that clarification does not exist; that is what he meant.

So, whatever...fair shmare.

And Bruce...why you devil you.

It'll be interesting to see if an explanation is forthcoming, because it certainly looked like a mean-spirited put down to me.

Flint · 01-09-2009, 01:44 PM

Mean-spirited put downs are only okay when I post them!

dar512 · 01-09-2009, 01:55 PM

I hope this doesn't destroy your image, Flint. But my impression is that you only play at being mean-spirited.

Flint · 01-09-2009, 02:00 PM

It's funny to me, and I understand that it might not always be funny to everyone reading it. So, in that way, there is a callous part of me that disregards the reader who doesn't understand what I'm doing. I'll even say, outright, that insomuch as you can't account for every person's tastes, my methodology is (largely) to simply act however I feel like acting, and to hell with the consequences. People, generally, put up with me.

Pie · 01-09-2009, 02:06 PM

omg, Flint has defined free will.

Oh Flint, hey...this isn't about you.

Seriously...your sense of humor can be acidic, but you are not a mean person.

Flint · 01-09-2009, 02:10 PM

Don't ever tell me that something isn't about me.
