Why would you, punny, even read this page if it's real crap?"

JH, were you able to determine what this thread was about prior to reading the content?

BC's post is condescending and arrogant. Of course that is quite true to form for him but I refuse to dance to his tune. If you are interested in more topics that detail the ways in which you are insipid and boring then championing BC makes sense. If you are deserving I'm sure he would even supply an exact set of instructions for posting brilliance.

Every time I see a BC post, I wonder if people are going to give him what he wants and post in it. Sadly, someone always disappoints me. Usually several someones.

[No No]

When will we learn? Huh?

Elephants dancing in a parade!

Er, that's what I thought, anyway.

Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :

Aw, man, I thought there was going to be a link to an online test for psychic ability.

I predict that someone will find one, and post it here! [Big Grin]

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

I predict that Megan is correct and therefore a genius.

Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :

"A frog, a bologna sandwich, and three elephants."

I guess not.

Hooray!

It could be that I'm psychic, though, rather than a genius. Still, I'm not turning down praise! [Big Grin]

Hey Dag! We both had elephants! We must be the psychics, and the rest are just posers! Yay!!!

Posted by El JT de Spang (Member # 7742) on :

I don't know how to clik.

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

My prediction was correct!

Conclusion: I have ESP and so does Megan...and Megan is a genius. [Kiss]

Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :

I guess you're a closet Republican, quid.

Do they have those over there? [Smile]

You join a group of like individuals and endeavor to exclude others that don't conform to your standards?

Posted by quidscribis (Member # 5124) on :

Nope, no closets. Hardly even any wardrobes. [ROFL]

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

Another ESP test, just to keep the ball rolling.

[Big Grin]

Posted by El JT de Spang (Member # 7742) on :

Ahhh.

Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :

I didn't take the first test, but by the second test, I "might have some psychic ability." [Big Grin]

I predict...that I'm going to get off Hatrack and get to work! [Wink]

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

Me too Megan. I got 5/12 which means "We predict that it's sort of possible that you might just be psychic. Maybe."

Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :

I did, in actual fact, predict the essential content of this thread before opening it. And I haven't even read the other one yet.

Posted by punwit (Member # 6388) on :

That's impressive, Pop. I'd hazard a guess that this skill is highly useful in your janitorial duties.

Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :

He knew you'd say that.

Posted by Snarky (Member # 4406) on :

I can't even figure out what Jonathan's quoted post means. What does that make me?

Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :

Rational?

I can't help myself. I'm a compulsive poster.

Are there meetings I can go to for that?

I correctly predicted that someone would comment on the misspelling in the thread topic line! <clairvoyant>

P.S. I meant this as a joke.

I think you're going to it right now.

Jonathan often fails to make sense, but he's capable of doing so in several different languages.

Posted by Snarky (Member # 4406) on :

That's not so impressive. I can fail to make sense in three or four, myself.

Posted by fugu13 (Member # 2859) on :

I'm failing to make sense in Basque right now.

Posted by Snarky (Member # 4406) on :

Baita zuri hiri ere!

Posted by Snarky (Member # 4406) on :

I think maybe my last post was a bit too esoteric. It's (apparently) Basque for "Same to you."

Posted by Goody Scrivener (Member # 6742) on :

Ya know, Kat, I'm mixed on that. In the thread where he started out by telling us we were unworthy to receive his thoughts, he later came back and (in my interpretation) copped an attitude that we didn't ignore him the way he wanted us to.

No matter what we do, we give him what he wants. He wants attention - obviously, since he keeps coming back and in his various names - and he wants control. If we boycott his threads, he wins because he's controlling the group. If we post as always, he wins because we're paying attention to his threads (and certain posters to him directly).

I don't know if there's an answer to this. Even if he's banned, he's bound to come back under another login and do much the same thing all over again...
