[font=Microsoft Sans Serif][size=20] Smeagol wants to drink some!
[font=Papyrus][size=24]We are soooooo thirsty!!
[font=Tahoma][size=20]Smeagol knows Master will always take good care of him!!!
[font=Times New Roman][size=20]Give us anti-tea, precious!!!
Or...is anti-tea what people who have tea phobias drink?
Or is it maybe what's fired at tea in those supercolliders in to see if a black hole will open and suck at least part of the planet into it?
[size=18]AHEM...I beta-tested one of those, you know. Then I wrote a walkthrough for it. And now, I'm a famous physicist.

IIRC there was a time when posts remained on topic. I don't understand why young people today can't stay on topic without hijacking the thread and turning it into something pointless with their puerile attempts at humour.
Getting back on topic I think we ought to

Which reminds me of a wonderful joke I saw on an English television series back in the 70s, when the British humour was recognised around the world as the most superior form. AFAIK this joke is still raising laughs today.

At first I was going to say that Ivinia's reply :
Not true Traveler! AFAIK, there are numerous persons conspiring against me!
made me wonder if it really was Ivinia posting.. but then Karla posted her brilliant anti-tea /Smeagol post 8-); which totally cracked me up, and then Caroline made me start wondering if Caroline is really [highlight]Caroline[/highlight].. [smiley=shudder.gif]

[size=14]This will be my last POST ON THIS SUBJECT.
It is obvious that Ms. Administrator can not engage in intelligent and mature debate and instead has to resort to libelous mudslinging!
Where is the article I sent you 5 minutes ago???
[size=16]Why is it not already posted on the front page of the site in a prominent position?
My cat - which started one of the most successful campaigns to rid my home of mice and whose technique is being copied throughout the world, and is in [size=14]HIGH demand in the feline curcuit - met Morris.If you do not have it posted in the next 10 minutes, I shall simply be forced to have it posted on another site.
You shall hear no more from me on this matter!

Just to do a thorough job of derailing the thread:
Weeelll, call me paranoid if you will, but after I'd heard about that stalker in Uru, I am now paranoid..
...but once you started nattering about choccies, I just knew you were you... [smiley=laughing.gif] (especially when you mentioned your fave brand.. - the stalker would not have known that, I don't think... )

Sadly this creepy stalker has made my benign stalking of Colpet much harder; I wasn't able to surprise her the other day! ;'(
Congratulations, too, on the new rank, madam! 8-)

You're stalking Colpet? [smiley=raise_eyebrow.gif]
Well..- that was just the motivation I needed to [s]stop[/s] pause playing Dracula Origin so that I can get my Uru character in gear ... which has now got me paranoidly wondering if you said that on purpose to that end? [smiley=boggled.gif]

[size=16]{However....] I MUST protest on the amounht of misinformation that is being taken as fact with absolutely no hard facts or reputable statistics to back them up.
1} There is no "anti-tea" or whatever Karla is talking about. The word itself is a contradiction!
2/ There is no such thing as a Minkata in the real world! [highlight]Why are why not staying in reality?[/highlight]

It's ok, J. I just felt a bit taken aback...
....anyway, I'm starting to feel a bit bad about participating in this thread... - because it suddenly struck me that perhaps people might be reading it whose feelings might be hurt if they realise... :-/
I know it's a kind of catharsis that's taking place, and maybe it's a necessary catharsis; it's just that I don't like hurting people, no matter who they are. ..or am I being a bit too soppy here?

Terry! Hey you'd better come back, I'm also a grand inquisitor now, and you don't want me to overtake you, do you?
Been missing you around the forum...

We have posters here who instead of following the main idea of this thread go off in tangents and hijack the thread with silly, superfluous, inane and non-sequitor responses.
And to top it all off....the [size=16]ADMINISTRATORS are the worst offenders of all!!
This forum has been distilled down to nothing but foolish, and non-coherent blabbering.....SHAME ON ALL OF YOU!!
[size=24]This simply must stop!!
We need to have order restored or we will have total chaos and a major disruption of social civilities, common sense and above it all.....profuse breakdown of professional behavior that will taint this forum for years to come.
I of course am above such foolish "ad hominim" behavior!
I agree with Sir Dave....Religion seems to be absent from this thread.
We need to hash this controversial subject by analyzing the reasons why the current Pope decided to turn his head away from others warning him about the rampant abuse of the confessional booths!!
There are some people who for every little and insignificant and trifling transgression go and use the confessional at the local churches, shutting out those of us with greater weights on our conscience and soul, and a greater number of more substantial and portentous sins, and because of those habitual abusers of the confessional booths, keep us out and waiting to have our consciences and souls absolved.
[font=Impact][size=24]THIS MUST STOP!! THE POPE MUST INTERVENE IN THIS FLAGRANT ABUSE OF CONFESSIONAL QUALITY TIME!! [smiley=furious.gif]

Okay.....my apologies for insulting half of you. Just tell me then what your other half is and I will even it out by insulting that one too. And that way we will have balance. :

Status : Offline | IMHO this thread is getting very close to the absolutely [highlight]forbidden[/highlight] subjects of POLITICS & RELIGION. Further mention of these words may lead to this thread being locked and all of the posters [size=20]being banned from JA+ forever (or at least until the posters register under a new and secret identity, identifiable only by the IP address).
I was going to post a link to our forum guidelines HERE, but it seems that the guidelines have been deleted.
If you wish to discuss this subject further, please send me or one of the other staff members a [s]diatribe[/s] personal message. Our PM queue is rather long right now, but you should receive an answer by [s]Christmas[/s] the winter solstice.
