Pahoran Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 This thread has really gone off track even with Pahoran's valiant effort to keep it centered.To give credit where it is due, Akboy has also been doing his best to keep the thread on track.He may be wrong, but at least he's wrong on topic.Regards,Pahoran
Calm Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 To give credit where it is due, Akboy has also been doing his best to keep the thread on track.He may be wrong, but at least he's wrong on topic.Regards,PahoranMy apologies to Ak. Good work to you too. Okay, I'm doing my best to help this along, but I don't know if I can last until we are blessed/cursed with the 666th post.
selek Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 However, if EV's were to admit the clear fact that Mormons are Christians, it might have an impact upon what they do. For one thing, it would take a lot of the momentum out of anti-Mormon polemics, for which EV intolerance is the mainspring.Just as a matter of clarification: Mainsails have wind. Mainsprings have tension. Snowballs have momentum, and the people you're arguing with haven't a clue.You're trying to counter spoon-fed indoctrination with reason.I admire your steadfast courage in doing so, but even Sysiphus only had to make the trip once per day.
jwhitlock Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Trite post just to move this one post further to consig's magic number.
selek Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Trite post just to move this one post further to consig's magic number.I refuse to succumb to the temptation to offer a wordy and yet fundamentally meaningless post just to drive this thread further towards a wholly arbitrary milestone!I find the entire spectacle morally degrading, utterly meaningless, and I am appalled that you would stoop so low, JWhit!
emeliza Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 I have to say that I am really proud of you guys for helping this dream come true.Also I thought the thread had died out and didn't realize that Pahoran and AKboy were still attempting at the 'fight'.
Calm Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 8! (or whatever number I have to reset this to after I check to see who is next in line...)add-on: Make that 7!I just knew it was going to be emeliza screwing the count up.
jwhitlock Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Pirate Personality Test:http://www.talklikeapirate.com/ppi.htmlMy results: The QuartermasterProfile: The Quartermaster (The ship's disciplinarian).You, me hearty, are a man or woman of action! And what action it is! Gruesome, awful, delightful action. You mete out punishment to friend and foe alike â?? well, mostly to foe, because your burning inner rage isn't likely to draw you a whole lot of the former. Still, though you may be what today is called "high maintenance" and in the past was called "bat-**** crazy," the crew likes to have you around because in a pinch your maniacal combat prowess may be the only thing that saves them from Jack Ketch. When not in a pinch, the rest of the crew will goad you into berserker mode because it's just kind of fun to watch. So you provide a double service â?? doling out discipline AND entertainment.My results:Bilge Rat Profile. Hygiene is just that thing that happens to other pirates. You like what you like. Taking a cannonball to the head in your younger days hasn't helped. Not one to take risks, you enjoy quiet evenings communing with the other vermin down in the lower holds of the ship. You're a collector. You like things. Not, "nice" things - just things. Some people think of you as a blight on humanity - a carbuncle on the alabaster skin of homo erectus. In the Age of Pirates you'd have spent a lot of time below watching the rats fight for scraps of food. In the 21st Century, you'd be the kind of person who plays online games for four days at a stretch without showering, living solely on Mountain Dew, ramen noodles and Cool Ranch Doritos. What you lack in physical attractiveness you more than make up for in interesting skin conditions. On the job, it's almost a sure bet you work in a cubicle in a large office where nobody remembers your last name but they all talk about you, a lot. It took me several tries, but I was able to get it up to this. I think I'm improving.
emeliza Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 I just knew it was going to be emeliza screwing the count up. That's my job.
Pahoran Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Trivia question: who knows, without looking it up, what is the other mention of 666 in the Bible?Regards,Pahoran

emeliza Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Emeliza, I believe you've been appointed as consig's stand in for the honour....1!Unfortunately Selek not only took it, but he didn't even make it important. Sheesh.And Consig is back now. Double sheesh.
consiglieri Posted September 4, 2008 Author Posted September 4, 2008 I actually wanted post 671!Fooled ya!
selek Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Trivia question: who knows, without looking it up, what is the other mention of 666 in the Bible?Regards,PahoranTax form number?
emeliza Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 I actually wanted post 671!Fooled ya!Did you have to edit that already? On another note, I would like to thank everyone for making this dream a reality and for the little people who actually used the first 31 or 32 pages more towards the real intent of this thread. If it weren't for you, we would have never made it this far.
selek Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 You stole it selek! shame on you.Dagnabit!I was actually aiming for 665 (you beat me to it), and a brief moment of smug triumph caught me.Consig, you can have it back if you want it.
consiglieri Posted September 4, 2008 Author Posted September 4, 2008 Did you have to edit that already? You know, you are far too clever for your own good!
