Scepter reminder

Gravatar  184 Comments

As Lynn wrote several months ago, here at WMB, “we have created something unique across the blogosphere–a place where people of different faiths and worldviews can come to discuss the issues of the day civilly, without profanity, (most of us) remaining friends at the end of the day.”

However, due to some recent thread discussions that have raised concerns about civility, I think we could all benefit from referring back to this post and this post regarding the Rules of Engagement here at WMB. (And please blog nice, or else I’ll have to borrow Lynn’s scepter and start bonking!)

  1. What did I miss?

    Or are you talking about this thread where Spin calls someone a fool? Of course he may have been returning the favor. I’ve never been a fan of calling someone a fool using the bible as justification - no matter what world view the person susbcribes to.

    I’m guessing the problem is Obama again. For someone who is suppose to be a uniter, he sure has caused a lot of trouble here.

    Don’t be HATERS!

  4. Some people were getting a little bold, if you get my drift.

  5. might have been me
    but I have reformed now
    i am sincerely sorry
    and will henceforth stop
    using all these fun adjectives
    and phrases
    and capitalizations
    and i will be most proper
    and only address people politely
    or not at all
    unless of course
    they really really deserve it
    and then i will just give
    the electronic equivalent
    of a sniff of disgust
    but that is all

    so now i need to find out
    how colorful and descriptive
    and edgy
    i can make
    an electronic sniff of disgust
    without getting into trouble

  7. A word to the wise- We all know whose buttons are easily pushed, and who tries to push our buttons. All we need to do is remember Solomon’s advice and not argue with them. When someone misinterprets your post, remind them once what you meant and leave it at that. If the other cannot figure it out, it is not worth the bandwidth to straiten him/her out. Remember these words: “When you wrestle a pig all you get is muddy, and the pig likes it.”

    Peter L

    So true. Also, dressing up a pig does not make it into a beautiful woman. No matter how hard you squint.

    #7 Referring to other WOW members as “pigs” (albeit anonymously) in a thread on civility seems a tad misplaced. Even so, how come only the mud/women pig examples when the quintessential illustrations are about trying to teach a pig to sing or casting pearls or putting a ring in a pig’s snout, etc., etc. ….. ?

    Alas, pigs get no respect - they’re actually pretty amazing animals!

    Drill,

    Nice poem. Especially liked the elegant rhyming and lilting verse as if carried on warm air currents skyward toward heaven’s reward for perfection.

    That oughtt to get HSK mad enought to get himself banned from the blog for improper discourse witha llama :-)

  11. 11. Gravatar by drill 04.14.08 at 3:20 pm

    LLama: I have been worried that Harrison is going to make me start breaking up my sentences randomly in all my posts, but he has been the very model of restraint about it.

    Do not feel bad, Llama, he once called me a ‘jock’ for similar heinous literary transgressions as you have recently made.

    Why being called a ‘jock’ pumped me up so much that the next day I put on gym shorts for the first time in thirty years, and went down to the local gym to play basketball with the guys. Unfortunately, once I started playing, I found out that the gym shorts had inexplicably shrunk a GREAT deal in the last thirty years. The elastic busted and a strategic seam or two gave up the ghost, and I was reduced to playing basketball with only one hand, since the other hand was busy holding up the gym shorts. I went back the next day to play with the guys again but they had apparently changed the time and place for playing and had inadvertently forgotten to inform me.

    I started to write a poem about it and send it to Harrison but I decided not to. He probably has enough stress to deal with.

    On the other issue, I was called a skunk once on this blog, which I thought was pretty cool.

    I have not been called a Hottentot yet, though, which is my ambition.

    Being called a Hottentot is pretty much as good as it can get, I am pretty sure.

  12. Drill, you H…never mind.

    Peter L covers it at #7. With two or three people, I’ve stopped even bothering to try once, most of the time.

  13. 13. Gravatar by Erasmus 04.14.08 at 3:26 pm

    Hottentot.

  14. 14. Gravatar by mommy 04.14.08 at 3:27 pm

    I really, really want to be a Drill Bit.

  15. 15. Gravatar by llama 04.14.08 at 3:27 pm

    Drill,

    Will Hotty do. Few people can spell Hottentot or know how hot they were. :-)

  16. 16. Gravatar by Karen O 04.14.08 at 4:05 pm

    But if I called Drill a Hotty, I’d probably be scepter-bonked for sexual harrassment AND my husband would be might jealous.

  17. So far, since Lynn has ascended to the scepter, even the hottest topics have been tame compared to some of the other sites I have visited.

    I appreciate the occasional reminder. If I have said anything that has offended anyone, I apologize. If you give me the time and place I did it, I will apologize specifically.

    Peace

    I think I may have called someone a snob. Sorry. I just don’t like snobs. They are so beneath me.

  19. :lol:

  20. I am serious when I say that “personal attack” needs to be clearly defined for the benefit of all.

  21. 21. Gravatar by kBells 04.14.08 at 8:01 pm

    Is a “Drill bit” groupie of some sort. I thought it was like a “bit” of wisdom.

  22. 22. Gravatar by drill 04.14.08 at 9:45 pm

    Well I certainly don’t know what it is, either.

    But it sounds kind of like what might result after something VERY catastrophic indeed has happened to poor Drill.

    So I think I will go sit on a hay bale in the loft of the barn until this has all blown over and it is safe to come out again.

  23. 23. Gravatar by klasko 04.14.08 at 11:15 pm

    I would define a Drill Bit as one of two things:

    1) A bit of Drill’s wisdom and humor - a Drillism.

    2) A fan Of Drill. I was going to say Drill fan, but that just brought to mind a some kind of contraption that might be out of a Stephen King novel - very dangerous. (In which case we would have Drill’s catastrophic nightmare scenario. Not pretty.)

    In any event, I am a fan of Drill and his wit, so I hope that makes me a Drill Bit. ;-)

  24. I hope it’s not too late (my humble apologies) to audition for at least a small role (a bit part, if you will) as a Drill bit. If I waited too long and all the spots are taken, I apologize again.

  25. 25. Gravatar by Victoria 04.15.08 at 2:24 am

    You guys are all in trouble, I’ve been taking notes, most of you all deserve BONGS, and that goes for the the ‘too goodie shoes’- Mommy and Mumsee, throw in Kbells and Cheryl and then there’s Drill, don’t worry about Klasko we KNOW how she operates, that goes for Pauline as well.

    I of course am blog monitor, which means I watch, observe, and decide who’s been good and who’s been nasty. Since Lynn isn’t coming back until the end of this month, WATCH IT, I’m watching each one of you nasty little posters.

    I’m checking spelling too!

  26. 26. Gravatar by Victoria 04.15.08 at 3:05 am

    Here is my LIST:

    I’m keeping a list of all those who cross over the line on WoW, and every single thing you post which is mean spirited, incorrect, not to mention spelling mistakes. I have made notes on every single one of you, some are much worse than others, deserving of ‘BONGS’ that should stun you into proper blog performance.
    Those who are the top offenders are:

    Drill - what a mess, and we have to read this junk

    Mommy - she needs some ‘time out’

    Mumsee - it never ends, always the same

    Pauline - this woman needs help, her posts are to specific

    Peter L - he needs buttons that work

    Cheryl D. - it’s OK, you’ll feel better in the morning

    Karen O - and you bring up sexual harassment in post 16 (spelled wrong)

    Spinoza - you think pigs are amazing animals? … do they speak to you through oink, oink? …. do you answer?

    Erasmus - pigs? … do you keep pigs in your yard, do you talk to them, I thought you had a real job

    Llama - lets not go there, we ALL know you are just a skunk, pretending to be a Llama

    Metatonia - all of your apologies are accepted. I’m sorry too, I don’t think you deserve a huge ‘BONG’

    Kbells - so its snobs, you do need a big BONG from the ’scepter lady’ SHAME on Kbells

    Ki - I’m telling Lynn about your laughing, you’re going to get it

    Reg - don’t try to define anything, its clearly not an option, almost no one owns a dictionary, and if they do, they can’t find it.

    Klasko - again we have to indulge the woman, she has Drillism down to science. Obviously its going to take Lynn a long time to correct the dysfunctional problem this woman suffers from

    Peter the Harvard guy - what a mess, and we have to wade through this diatribe day after day.

    Joel - many posts, sometimes 3 in a row. You are in real trouble

    GOLD STAR WINNER - Peter L on #7 - you win the GOLD STAR, how smart you are “When you wrestle a pig all you get is muddy, and the pig likes it.”

    For all the other problems, and YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE, I have detailed notes on what you said and to whom, just waiting for the ‘SCEPTER LADY’ to return and give you ………..

    I of course have NO FAULTS, and have nothing to correct, I make no mistakes, well….not to often.

    Kristin Chapman has a tough job, but I’m helping her out.

  27. 27. Gravatar by Chas 04.15.08 at 7:48 am

    I’m just glad I didn’t make Victoria’s list. She’s going to have a rude awakening when Lynn comes back and discouvers there’s been a coup attempt. All in the guise of “helping out.”

  28. 28. Gravatar by Chas 04.15.08 at 7:49 am

    Did you say spelling errors too?

  29. 29. Gravatar by klasko 04.15.08 at 8:06 am

    Victoria - HEE HEE HEE! :-D

  30. 30. Gravatar by NJLawyer 04.15.08 at 8:30 am

    Llama’s not really a Llama? I’m shocked.

  31. 31. Gravatar by TomBob 04.15.08 at 8:35 am

    The resident newbie stayed off the list.
    ::sigh of releif::

    (that’s right. releif.)

  32. Victoria,
    “Reg - don’t try to define anything, its clearly not an option, almost no one owns a dictionary, and if they do, they can’t find it.”

    I never said this, and as you, Victoria, have so specifically stated in the past, if you don’t state exactly WHERE the quote came from on this website, then YOU are just playing with words.

    Thanks for the demo.

    User manual with rules to follow…

  33. Reg,
    You do realize you’re the only person who didn’t see it as a joke?

  34. Cameron,
    Yes; however, I can’t imagine someone taking the time (I am single mom of four teens) to construct #26.

  35. Sorry I missed the humor, I really was skip-reading, I will try to slow down!! Shame on me!!

  36. 36. Gravatar by Victoria 04.15.08 at 12:37 pm

    Chas, NJL, Tombob, Cameron and TJ - there is going to be another list to be compiled later today, just keep checking back, you weren’t forgotten you just need special attention.

  37. Victoria- Thanks for the Gold Star (or should I say Bold Star. But I don’t understand what Peter L - he needs buttons that work is supposed to mean?!?!?!

  38. 38. Gravatar by Victoria 04.15.08 at 12:57 pm

    Peter L - 7 and 37

    “A word to the wise- We all know whose buttons are easily pushed, and who tries to push our buttons.”

    OK Peter here’s the buttons- :roll:

  39. Victoria,

    :)

  40. 40. Gravatar by Karen O 04.15.08 at 1:51 pm

    Victoria is scaring me!

  41. 41. Gravatar by Victoria 04.15.08 at 2:03 pm

    Karen, you scared everyone by your “hotty” remark, do you not see the BONG you deserve for that? V E R Y clever how you called Drill a “hotty”-

  42. 42. Gravatar by StuBob 04.15.08 at 2:16 pm

    Am I the only one who thinks of drugs when Victoria threatens “bongs?”

  43. Oh, but Victoria, I don’t mind smilies in the right place, ;) it is just the overuse of them. ;) ;)

  44. 44. Gravatar by klasko 04.15.08 at 2:20 pm

    StuBob - the thought crossed my mind too, but I was afraid she’d bonk me again!

  45. 45. Gravatar by Victoria 04.15.08 at 2:22 pm

    Stubob, I was trying to avoid the BONG you so justly deserve, however the ’scepter lady’ is going to hear about this the minute she returns to bring ‘order’ to this unruly blog- “Drugs” you are bad-

  46. 46. Gravatar by Victoria 04.15.08 at 2:24 pm

    OK Klasko, you and Stubob are both ‘grounded’-

  47. 47. Gravatar by klasko 04.15.08 at 2:29 pm

    But I didn’t inhale…

  48. 48. Gravatar by Victoria 04.15.08 at 2:34 pm

    :lol: is that right Klasko? … and how about Stubob?

  49. thankfully, I fly beneath the Victoria radar and didn’t get a mention.

    The image of her boldly handing out bongs to all the offenders was enough for a good laugh. Perhaps that explains the misuse of the word “to” in a post that was all about spelling errors…

  50. 50. Gravatar by Victoria 04.15.08 at 2:48 pm

    Well, if isn’t RR and his “to” or maybe it should have been two or maybe it was too and that’s the way the poster wanted it to be read?

    You aren’t under any screen. I’ve been waiting for some of you (offenders) to show up, and here you are, right on time-

  51. #34 - “Yes; however, I can’t imagine someone taking the time (I am single mom of four teens) to construct #26.”

    Oh chill, Reg. We all are busy and we all have our goof-off times.

  52. 52. Gravatar by TomBob 04.15.08 at 2:52 pm

    when the cat’s away……..

    the top mouse grabs the scepter and starts bonging people with it.

  53. 53. Gravatar by Spinoza 04.15.08 at 2:53 pm

    #50 - Please, maam, can I have a ‘BONG’?

    :)

  54. 54. Gravatar by Victoria 04.15.08 at 3:26 pm

    VS, that’s the spirit. You have been heading for a BONG for a long time, but since your ‘chilling’ you won’t be BONGED- :lol:

  55. 55. Gravatar by Victoria 04.15.08 at 3:30 pm

    Tombob, the ’scepter lady’ needed some help, Kristen has taken off, and is NO WHERE to be found.

  56. 56. Gravatar by Chas 04.15.08 at 3:34 pm

    Don’t go crying to TomBob.
    Victoria is going to find out how unruly this group can be. If she grounds StuBob, how does she know TomBob isn’t doing his dirty work. Also, Cameron and TJ may be working together, not to mention TI & KI. Like, as the cliche goes, nailing jell-o to the wall.

  57. 57. Gravatar by Victoria 04.15.08 at 3:36 pm

    If it isn’t one of the worst offenders of all. Spin the whole blog can BONG you, it’s the least you could expect from us. By the way where are your side kicks?

    Here let me help you with BONG -

    bang, blow, thud, crash, knock, clang, dong, bonk

  58. 58. Gravatar by Victoria 04.15.08 at 3:37 pm

    Chas, your moment is soon to arrive. Carry on!

  59. 59. Gravatar by Spinoza 04.15.08 at 3:38 pm

    By the way where are your side kicks?

    I dunno?! I’m sure that if they knew you were giving away free ‘BONGS’ they’d all be here!

  60. 60. Gravatar by Victoria 04.15.08 at 3:51 pm

    Spin, you are spinning again. Bongs are multiple to BONG = bang, blow, thud, crash, knock, clang, dong, bonk

    bangs, blows, thuds, crashes, knocks, clangs and BONKS -

  61. 61. Gravatar by NJLawyer 04.15.08 at 3:59 pm

    Do we have any proof that Victoria is in actual possession of the scepter? :)

  62. 62. Gravatar by Victoria 04.15.08 at 4:08 pm

    NJL, you just can’t wait to get in trouble can you?

    I’m taking names, notes, and making a long list of those who cause trouble, who have misbehaved while the ’scepter lady’ is recovering. NOW, if you want to be mentioned on this list, and then grounded as Stubob and Klasco, keep it up.

    As far as the ’scepter’ goes, I have my own special BONG for this blog. It’s silver with a big gold ball on the end, and a silk tasseled cord to put around my wrist.

    You do understand you are in deep trouble?

  63. 63. Gravatar by Karen O 04.15.08 at 4:23 pm

    Queen Victoria - I humbly bow before you, & your silver & gold scepter.

    (Everyone else - Come on, some of you strong guys, wrestle that thing away from her or we’ll all have headaches tonight. And nightmares!)

  64. 64. Gravatar by adios 04.15.08 at 4:31 pm

    Spinoza,

    That Victoria has her own special bong explains a lot, eh?. And silver no less.

  65. 65. Gravatar by NJLawyer 04.15.08 at 4:38 pm

    Yes, M’am. :)

  66. 66. Gravatar by Victoria 04.15.08 at 4:51 pm

    Karen O, so now you think you and your friends can "Come on, some of you strong guys, wrestle that thing away from her or we’ll all have headaches tonight. And nightmares!"

    I'm waiting for your friends Karen, they can't come close, my BONG gives off an alarm if anyone tries to attack, you're out of luck.

    You have just received the FIRST :mrgreen: it's your own fault.

  67. 67. Gravatar by Victoria 04.15.08 at 4:53 pm

    You Adios, have just been added to the list mentioned in post #36-

  68. 68. Gravatar by NJLawyer 04.15.08 at 4:57 pm

    Don’t go in without a warrant, Karen O!

  69. 69. Gravatar by Victoria 04.15.08 at 4:59 pm

    NJL, and I suppose you will try and help her get one? Sorry toots, I have a license for my BONG, and a license to USE it!

  70. 70. Gravatar by Spinoza 04.15.08 at 5:02 pm

    Sorry toots, I have a license for my BONG, and a license to USE it!

    Dang - where’d you get a license for a BONG?!

  71. Tee hee, wait until we tell Lynn about Victoria using to instead of too!

  72. I work hard all day and Victoria sits around sharing a bong. Life’s not fair.

    And please inhale — its the whole point after all.

  73. 73. Gravatar by adios 04.15.08 at 5:22 pm

    Spinoza,

    In CA you can’t actually get a bong license, but you can get a card saying your bong is legal. You know, for medical purposes;)

  74. 74. Gravatar by Victoria 04.15.08 at 5:25 pm

    Ki, you can keep that little mistake to yourself, or suffer the consequences. Don’t forget what happened to Karen O.

  75. 75. Gravatar by mumsee 04.15.08 at 5:25 pm

    I made the first list! I made the first list! Too bad for you the rest of you!

  76. 76. Gravatar by Victoria 04.15.08 at 5:28 pm

    HRW, …… now I knew you would show up sooner or later. You have been grounded, and lest we forget the :mrgreen: which you have earned for months now. Enjoy yourself!

  77. 77. Gravatar by Victoria 04.15.08 at 5:31 pm

    Mumsee, just keep making others jealous. There is a special BONG for those who jump up and down like a broken down cheer leader.

  78. 78. Gravatar by Victoria 04.15.08 at 5:32 pm

    This place is NUTS!

  79. 79. Gravatar by TomBob 04.15.08 at 5:48 pm

    in #77, cheerleader should be one word.

    we do that in english sometimes… we take two words, and then we take the space out, just for giggles, and then we leave it that way.

  81. 81. Gravatar by Chas 04.15.08 at 5:50 pm

    Victoria, (78)
    I knew it would fall apart when Lynn left. We had plans to resist this coup until NJL came and inisisted we keep it legal just as we were about to make our move (68).
    Typical of lawyers to mess up a good plan.

  82. Whatcha all drinking? May I have some?

  83. 83. Gravatar by Karen O 04.15.08 at 6:03 pm

    Having been bonged by Victoria’s bong-scepter, I have a thundering headache…and the munchies.

  84. 84. Gravatar by Victoria 04.15.08 at 6:19 pm

    Thanks for sharing that Tombob, just the “giggles” part. I like the space, it gives a special something to ‘cheer leader’-

  85. 85. Gravatar by kBells 04.15.08 at 6:21 pm

    I would like to appeal my bong. I said I was sorry. NJ I need a lawyer.

    Psst! If some of us keep her busy, the rest of us can sneak over to another thread and make some plans for taking that bong-scepter away from her.

  88. 88. Gravatar by Victoria 04.15.08 at 6:33 pm

    Added list:

    NJL - and that useless “warrant” you tried to give Karen O. You are on the ’special note sheet’ for the ’scepter lady’ just wait!

    Tombob - here’s your special reward for trying to hang me for a space between ‘cheer leader’ :mrgreen:

  89. 89. Gravatar by Victoria 04.15.08 at 6:37 pm

    Klasko, you and Stubob were both grounded, you aren’t getting to plan anything.

    Your offenses are adding up fast, real fast.

  90. 90. Gravatar by Victoria 04.15.08 at 6:38 pm

  93. 93. Gravatar by Victoria 04.15.08 at 7:03 pm

    Toooooooooooooo bad Tombob, I have the ’silver BONG’ with an alarm, you aren’t revoking anything, in fact you are nearing the top of the list for the ’scepter lady’-

  94. 94. Gravatar by Ajisuun 04.15.08 at 7:04 pm

    Sheesh, Victoria has gone crazy and you guys haven’t overpowered her yet! I’ll have you know that I’m not afraid of her bong. I don’t think her scepter is long enough to reach ME.

  95. 95. Gravatar by Victoria 04.15.08 at 7:05 pm

  96. 96. Gravatar by Victoria 04.15.08 at 7:07 pm

    Klasko, its not my fault. I went to BONG her and she jumped up and received a ‘double dose’- who’s fault is that? Just what I thought, its HER FAULT not mine.

  104. 104. Gravatar by Victoria 04.15.08 at 8:07 pm

    Kbells is doing just fine Spin. She double dosed herself while getting a BONG.

    Blame the victim mentality alive and well here.

  106. 106. Gravatar by Victoria 04.15.08 at 8:22 pm

    Well isn’t this just real special. Kbells and Klasco with Llama in the lead came over here and tried to steal my BONG, instead they ‘got it’ and now their nursing the headaches together :lol:

    I thought I smelled a skunk, I mentioned it back in post 95. We all know who Llama is now, I reported this back in #26.

    The last words of the late kBells: Sleep well Victoria thinking of my motherless child and homeless cat and the Drill bits without a trombone player. O what sorrow your lust for power has brought forth.

    Kbells, our little ‘drama queen’ with a knot on her well deserved head.

    Take ‘two’, or is it ‘too’ perhaps ‘to’ asprins and call me in the morning.

    I just looked at this thread for the first time today.

    I . . . I think . . . You people . . . wh - what? . . . I . . . you . . . don’t . . . um . . . um . . . I . . .

    I am speechless.

  113. 113. Gravatar by mommy 04.15.08 at 9:25 pm

    Victoria, Now you’ve done it!! You’ve gone and made Drill speechless. We’ll never forgive you for that.
    (p.s., it should be “they’re” in post 106 - bong yourself).

  114. 114. Gravatar by Victoria 04.15.08 at 9:32 pm

    Mommy, isn’t that nice of you to point a very small error to my attention! Are you happy now?

  115. 115. Gravatar by Victoria 04.15.08 at 9:33 pm

    Don’t you wish Adios? LOL

  116. 116. Gravatar by mommy 04.15.08 at 9:34 pm

    Making Drill speechless is no small error. It’s a major WMB offense!

  117. 117. Gravatar by Victoria 04.15.08 at 9:39 pm

    Drill, yes I can see you have little to say, that’s good. The less you say, the less chance of receiving a BONG.

    Someone had to take over the mess here on the blog, no one was willing, so I took the task upon myself, knowing how difficult it would be to tame this bunch.

  118. 118. Gravatar by StuBob 04.15.08 at 9:47 pm

    This whole bong thing confuses me a little, Victoria. Are you clobbering people with a hookah?

  119. Adios,

    I wrote smokin’ first, but then realized by the smell and the general atmosphere that the stuff everyone is smoking is illegal, so I’ll have whatever the calmer ones of them are drinking instead….

    Cheryl D - DON’T drink the grape Kool-Aid!

  121. 121. Gravatar by Victoria 04.15.08 at 9:53 pm

    Stubob, in a word NO. It’s a BONG, a silver piece with a gold ball on the end, with a silver cord and tassel which I can wear on my wrist…there is also an alarm attached if anyone tries to steal it. Earlier, Klasco, Kbells and Llama tried and now they are nursing the lumps on their heads.

  122. 122. Gravatar by Victoria 04.15.08 at 9:55 pm

    Well if isn’t Klasco. I thought you were resting.

  123. 123. Gravatar by Victoria 04.15.08 at 9:59 pm

    Making Drill speechless isn’t a WMB offense, it’s something we all should appreciate, the peace is priceless.

    I had a few last minute before bed things to take care of. THouhgt I’d check back one more time. Now I’m REALLY gong to bed.

  126. 126. Gravatar by Chas 04.16.08 at 8:43 am

    Victoria:
    Mumsee is on another thread fiddling around with a violin.
    You need to take care of that.

    Gee, I’m sorry I didn’t come back to this thread last night, but I was working hard on our habeas petition. Now, I just need to find a judge……

  128. I guess things have quieted down here enough to say: Quit whining about Victoria’s pretending to the thrown, folks. At least she is doing it quietly (w/out bold).

  129. 129. Gravatar by Chas 04.16.08 at 11:56 am

    But we need someone who will do something about Mumsee’s pun.
    I wouldn’t want Mumsee to get bonged, but a strong warning is warranted.

    Chas, I heard about Mumsee and a band. Just what sort of band are we talking about?

  134. 134. Gravatar by Victoria 04.16.08 at 12:39 pm

    NJL, … I can see you are still trying to get a warrant aren’t you?

  135. 135. Gravatar by Chas 04.16.08 at 12:46 pm

    Mumsee said she was “fiddling around with the violin”. Such a terrible pun diserves a stern repremand. Please don’t bong Mumsee, those kids need her. And we might end up with the bunch of them.

  136. 136. Gravatar by Victoria 04.16.08 at 12:47 pm

    Peter L, what is there to pretend about? “thrown” Yes I still need BOLD, it comes in handy. And this after I gave you a GOLD STAR.

    Cheryl is holding a spelling class later today, you need to be there….or is that their or they’re?

  137. 137. Gravatar by Victoria 04.16.08 at 12:49 pm

    Tombob, not so fast . .

  138. 138. Gravatar by NJLawyer 04.16.08 at 12:50 pm

    Victoria, just doing a little pro bono work, that’s all! :)

    This has been such a pleasant, fun thread!

  139. Not sure, but I think the mention of Mumsee on another thread was so Victoria would leave and we could make plans behind her back. Does anyone know whether she’s still here? If she is, I’ll invite her to the spelling class, and the rest of you can figure it out. (Just a sec, I’ll be right back.)

    Victoria, the spelling class will be on Whirled Views. I hope to see you there!

    (OK, I’m back. I’d better get over to Whirled Views in case she shows up there. Y’all work it out here.)

  140. 140. Gravatar by klasko 04.16.08 at 2:55 pm

    Anyone got any ideas about how to shut off her alarm on that thing? That’s how we got caught the last time.

    NJL, I enjoyed it too. You aren’t grounded anymore, you’re off for ‘good behavior :lol: I’m not sure about the others.

  142. 142. Gravatar by Victoria 04.16.08 at 3:12 pm

    Cheryl, you are so gracious to offer your services, (especially to ME) for spelling. I’ll get back to you, :lol:

  143. 143. Gravatar by Spinoza 04.16.08 at 3:36 pm

    I need some extra BONGs for my friends, so let’s see what the spelling police can do with this:

    Eye halve a spelling check her;
    It came with my pea sea.
    It plane lee marks four my revue
    Miss steaks aye kin knot sea.

    Eye ran this poem threw it

    All the hip youngsters on this board immediately quoted that poem on their facebook profiles.

  145. 145. Gravatar by Victoria 04.16.08 at 4:37 pm

    Klasko, there is a distinct smell here. If you and Kbells along with Llama are waiting to steal my BONG, you’re all in for a surprise.

  146. 146. Gravatar by mumsee 04.16.08 at 5:29 pm

    I don’t know but it appears Victoria is setting the stage on a different thread to demand her tuition back from Cheryl. This message brought to you by rumors inc.

    Mumsee, I did not, you mean broken down ‘cheer leader’- You’re on the list now!

    Mumsee, you are the one who has started a trashy rag mag by the name of “Rumors Inc” - I know you are the publisher, and head gossip queen, who’s the editor, and who are the nasty little reporters?

    I need to know NOW!

    No need to run Tombob, I have managed to draw her off. Just sit down and have a nice cup of tea, I will be right back..

  159. I’m disappointed; Victoria still hasn’t put me on any list yet.

    Nice poem on # 143, Spinoza.

  160. 160. Gravatar by TomBob 04.16.08 at 10:35 pm

    Why thank you, mumsee… don’t mind if I do.

  161. So, did anybody get it away yet?

  162. 162. Gravatar by Victoria 04.16.08 at 11:08 pm

    TJ, you are an individual who needs special attention. As I mentioned earlier, (post #36) you would soon be brought forward with your wife Cameron. I might add Cameron is a handful, she’s caused more trouble on the blog than most, and YOU stand by without any control whatsoever over this woman?

    What are you prepared to do concerning Cameron? I think you should take away her computer time, that might help…..I said ‘might’-

    So, now you have my full attention TJ.

  163. 163. Gravatar by Victoria 04.16.08 at 11:09 pm

    Cheryl, in a word - - - NO!

    I have the BONG.

  164. I see two ways to neuralize Victoria (I meant “neutralize,” but I think I’m going to leave it like this)
    1)Ignore her
    2)Come up with the online equivalent of sticking your fingers in your ears and screaming I KNOW YOU ARE, BUT WHAT AM I? at the top of your lungs, ad infinitum (or at least 3 dozen times).

    Personally, I like option 2 better.

  165. 165. Gravatar by Victoria 04.16.08 at 11:14 pm

    Tombob, you are easily led, and with a cup of tea yet,…….. :lol:

    Mumsee is most likely chasing all those kids of hers, it could hours before she returns, maybe tomorrow.

  166. 166. Gravatar by Victoria 04.16.08 at 11:22 pm

    JBH

    And who might you be mister goofy, with fingers in your ears?

    Are you old enough to be posting? Over the age of 18, alert, a small sense of humor, ready to be challenged by the WoW elite intellectuals?

    Take the test which Cheryl will administer and we will get back to you. Good luck, she’s a spelling freak.

    Victoria with a silver BONG!

  167. I KNOW YOU ARE, BUT WHAT AM I?
    I KNOW YOU ARE, BUT WHAT AM I?
    I KNOW YOU ARE, BUT WHAT AM I?
    I KNOW YOU ARE, BUT WHAT AM I?
    I KNOW YOU ARE, BUT WHAT AM I?
    I KNOW YOU ARE, BUT WHAT AM I?
    I KNOW YOU ARE, BUT WHAT AM I?
    okay, that’s enough…

    #164:
    You could always ask her to follow through with documenting and supporting her blog comment assertions. That usually shuts her up pretty quick, or yields a dismissive but something less than responsible “have a nice day”.

  171. 171. Gravatar by Victoria 04.17.08 at 12:43 am

    George,

    This isn’t a ‘documented’ thread, its a BONG thread for those just like you who haven’t learned to ‘fall in line’- NOW either you have a NICE DAY, NICE NIGHT or blow all your chances for happiness, it’s up to you DUDE!

  172. 172. Gravatar by Chas 04.17.08 at 8:07 am

    Victoria, if you knew Cameron, you wouldn’t be chiding TJ for his like of control.
    You must live on the west coast. By the time you get back here, this thread will be so far away, you’ll never find it.

  173. 173. Gravatar by Ajisuun 04.17.08 at 9:20 am

    Hey, guys, Is she gone? She has been quiet for a while. I was looking for another thread with a heated discussion that could distract the bong queen, but there seems to be a conspiracy against “hot” topics.

    Here’s the plan, Joel Mark and Spin can get into it about something, anything. Drill can make one his his normal witty contributions. Others can chime in as they see fit while Llama, NJL and 2 other volunteers serve the warrant and confiscate the bong. Don’t forget your helmets, guys! (NJL- Wouldn’t a restraining order be appropriate if we can’t get virtual possession of the bong?)

  174. 174. Gravatar by klasko 04.17.08 at 9:27 am

    I’m in.

  175. 175. Gravatar by Victoria 04.17.08 at 12:33 pm

    Chas, I know where this thread is at all times. Since you met Cameron you ‘think’ you know her, you must skip all the ’strange’ posts she makes. ….. and TJ stands by without a word.

  176. 176. Gravatar by Victoria 04.17.08 at 2:23 pm

    Ajisuun

    Well if it isn’t the WoW ‘Events Planner’- the plan won’t work!

  177. What are you prepared to do concerning Cameron?

    I have tried, Victoria, but she keeps breaking out of her cage.

    I need your forgiveness, your prayers, and a better lock to resolve this matter.

    Meanwhile, keep watch over Chas. He seems to have an eye for the ladies.

  178. Power corrupts.

    Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

    Victorian power corrupts infinitely.

  179. How about this. We all walk away, just ignore her for a while. Eventually she’ll put her guard down, and set down the bong, and one of our tech guys can quickly deactivate it. If that won’t work, I don’t know what will, so I’m out of here. Good luck.

  180. 180. Gravatar by Victoria 04.17.08 at 4:52 pm

    TJ, a CAGE? You have Cameron locked up in a Cage? . . . . no wonder she posts such goofy stuff. You TJ are the one who needs a BONG, not to mention :mrgreen: you deserve it.

    Either you let Cameron out of her cage right now, or we will come and free her ourselves.

  181. 181. Gravatar by Victoria 04.17.08 at 5:27 pm

    No you aren’t “in” …….. Klasko you are going to help free Cameron. Now we know why she’s so goofy, poor thing.

  182. Hey guys, Victoria is going at it with mumsee and ajisuun on the WV thread over the polygamist sect. Now’s your chance!

  183. Great, now Cameron is out of her cage. Careful, Victoria, I have it on good authority that she’s coming looking for your BONG. If she gets it, it could be the end of civilization as we now know it.

  184. 184. Gravatar by Victoria 04.17.08 at 9:28 pm

    TJ, ….. I think it’s you she might be after if she ‘could’ get her hands on my BONG.
