Which is why I asked Blixa, a**hole.
N0 ... this reply of Hoops just doesn't make any sense.
If I try to parse this, I get something that implies that Hoops is saying that Hoops asked Blixa because Hoops' imaginary picture was simplistic and naïve, and could not provide ...etc.
Silly Hoops. Sorry, I meant S***y Hoops. Much more impressive!
Zadok: I did not have a faith crisis. I discovered that the Church was having a truth crisis. Maksutov: That's the problem with this supernatural stuff, it doesn't really solve anything. It's a placeholder for ignorance.
You show once again that you're nothing more than a bloviating, condescending a**hole.
Do I begin to detect that old 'poster about to announce her departure from the board' syndrome here? I do hope not. Without Hoops we would lose so much sheer subtlety and rich shading of expression!

You do indeed. How terribly sensitive of you. (I suspect you've had some insider information though. So I'm not THAT impressed)

How we doing?
Ack! Hoops!
I'm almost sorry that I entered this thread. I'll try to explain myself better to you when I can. This is the last week of the semester for me and I'm really overclocked. At the same time, I some times come here for diversion (among other things). Anywho...don't run off in a huff just yet. Also, restrain your desire to call people names (I can't judge if they "deserve" it or not, but whatever). And lastly, keep posting your awesome avatars. If only there were basketballers like that when I was a girl!
