Good bye answerbank

[mibn2cweus]

Since Naomi will not give me the ****ing key I have decided to follow Jesus and be a Christian just like Theland. I am ashamed of my past history here so I'm going to devote the time I used to spend on ab to reading the Bible. No question really because I no longer care about what people think. I'll get all my answers from God from now on thank you.

[Theland1]

I think this threads' demise will come about if too many invaders come in and post too often.
Like somebody watching me when I'm in the toilet!
(That's the worst of an outside toilet with no door!)

On the other hand, some bureacrat in AB headquarters may decide to abuse their authority and shoot us down for not obeying some obscure rule or other.

In the meantime - Enjoy!

Hey Mibs... It's God knows how many answers in and we've gone off topic several times but I think you finally found a superhero who doesn't wear a mask!! Well done you!

I was thinking something more feminine for the tattoo though. (I might show it to my brother in law, he's got Hanibal, IT, Pinhead and Jason somewhere in amonst the many tattoos on his arm. Mighty Mouse could be the start of his less serial killery phase).

And I love your contributions too... It's just your ratings I don't rate highly. And that's mainly just me the cyber equivelant of elbowing you in the ribs.

Theland - I like your little story but I'm growing accustomed to the chastity belt. I may never take it off.

[Theland1]

Join the celibacy club, save energy, save the planet.

[Theland1]

Call the register.
One of our number may be missing.

China, You sure got one hell of a funny bone in that elbow of yours. If I haven�t always taken a fancy to your ribbings it�s very likely due to repercussions of guilt. But before things get too sappy �round here I�ll slip in one (of many) post I never got around to submitting . . . until now . . . for reasons that will become quite obvious: Oh well . . .

[mibn2cweus]

Initiating a thread brings with it an option that only the perpetrator enjoys the opportunity, freedom, right, responsibility to execute . . . the awarding of stars.

Recently it has been suggested that perhaps I am being excessively liberal if not overindulgent with my excercise of this privilege far beyond the point where I should experience the onset of feelings of guilt and remorse for having degraded the intended function and purpose. Interestingly it is those who earlier cried the loudest bemoaning the fact that I was �denying them their just due� . . . �You gave me two stars? Are you kidding me?! Christ I make this section holy!� . . . that now bestow upon me the most pronounced criticism for the criteria I use to �indiscriminately� splash contributors to this thread with these now soiled and repugnant symbols of recognition of a noteworthy and admirable contribution.

Come on now! The star rating system is a joke (no matter how pathetic my enjoyment of both giving and receiving them). Anyone with the capacity to differentiate between a good, great, or downright ridiculous answer is not going to base their appraisal or appreciation of such by counting the stars awarded no matter how seemingly arbitrary the criteria of (or their criticism of) the awarder may be.

I had considered adopting a system whereby conscientious objectors could determine the rating they desired for their own thread when posting:
(affixing a 0, 1, 2, 3 or ? at the end of their post) so that I would not assault their sensibilities with the wrong number of stars. But enough is enough and I am thru with being Mr. Nice Guy

I will not be dissuaded from dispensing stars as I see fit, so just . . . GET OVER IT!

[Theland1]

Yeah, you tell 'er Mibs!
(The cheeky cow!)

[mibn2cweus]

Theland, While we�re waiting for that more respectable representative specimen of the human race to hopefully recover from her latest foray into Chatterbank and to gather up the courage to venture from her hermitage, I am intrigued by your offer to grace us with some samples from your poetry archive . . . if the offer still stands . . .

[Theland1]

Where's me bl00dy stars Mibs?

[mibn2cweus]

Theland, There not always so easy to find in the light of day but you can count on eventually getting all (at least) that you deserve.

Giggles

Not that was the reaction I was going for Mib's

And that statement is not entirely true Theland, I'm not of the bovine species. :c)

When's Naomi coming back? Last time she left me alone with you two I had to venture in the world of soft porn to keep you both amused! Where's Lunar as well? And the newest face?

[China Doll]

You didn't do a star for yourself Mibs. You should have a star too.

[mibn2cweus]

. . . be my guest <"o~

[Theland1]

Those stars are a treasure beyond my imagination. I am speechless, (almost), and so, so proud.

[Theland1]

Here we are.

[Theland1]

How's this for a disaster?
Just been told off by my boss and I haven't even started work there yet!
He rang up and said he expected me today, Friday, not Monday as I thought, and then had a wee bit of a moan.
Talk about getting off on the wrong foot!
I'm now choking on all of the humble pie I had to eat to placate him.
Que sera!

[China Doll]

I tried to make the lady in the t-shirt say 'I love Hula Hoops' but then I couldn't make the image appear on here... Doh!

Don't worry about it Theland, they were proabably just a bit stressed. It'll have blown over by Monday.

I just got my best ever score on that brick game. Before that I was addicted to the frog game and before taht the bubbles game. I much prefer the brick on though!

[mibn2cweus]

China, It was slow going at first and I didn't think I was going to like it but I've developed a basic strategy and it seems to be paying off. I registered as Pokidow (my Bubbles username). Look for me on the leader board soon . . . not that I actually have time for this kind of non-sense. I'll be unable to access the internet much of this weekend (going to the cabin) but thanks (I think) for the link. Gotta play something . . . might as well be bricks!
