Morley indicates he is on the East Coast (CT?) and has a soft spot for the Pacific Northwest.
No, I'm living in the Mountain West these days. Ha! We're not as smart or liberal as the Pacific Northwest, either.

I first traveled to Lebanon to work with business associates in Beirut.

On my last day there I asked my driver, “What the hell were they fighting about all these years?"

His answer - “Religion mostly.”
Excellent summary. Just so I can place it, when were you there, W?

Re: Sometimes, you just need a story

Are there any other Pacific Northwest natives on here? I lived in both Vancouver, BC, and Bellingham for the nine years I was in school at UBC, so I perk up every time someone mentions the Pacific NW. It has one of the best climates on Earth, as far as I'm concerned. Part of my heart will always be...

Re: Dr. Shades's spelling and/or grammar lesson of the day

You have the ability to read these threads just as easily as you read and located dantana's post with what you believe are grammatical and spelling errors and then decided to make a new topic thread about it mirroring your previous thread about grammar and spelling. What I believe are grammatical a...

Re: Dr. Shades's spelling and/or grammar lesson of the day

I'm not even talking about someone else's so-called "filthy language." I'm complaining about the general policy of changing words or acronyms to be what any given board administrator thinks they should be. Readability = user-friendliness. Someone else changing what is actually said with the excuse ...

For now, though, you're free to turn off the auto-correct if you wish. The instructions are at the top of every forum.
Turning off the word censoring is indeed an option. Turning off auto-correct is not an option. Are you being disingenuous or am I missing something, Shades?

You're right. I should've specified that I meant "the royal you."
There's no such thing as "the royal you." Even if there were, I'm sure it would be as condescendingly used as "the royal we."

Re: Dr. Shades's spelling and/or grammar lesson of the day

So true, Lem. I can't express my distain for the autocorrect function adequately. I prefer to read what others actually say, not what any given site administrator thinks those people should have said. And just think: If you could only discipline yourself to use your filthy language in the Telestial...

One thing you guys can be relief upon for us attacking the messenger when your little feelings can't resolve facts against your carefully crafted hair fire.
Perhaps It's just me, but I'm not sure what you're saying here, Sub.
