This gift of a thread has reduced me to tears of laughter. They way this board plays out is second to none. The ball of silliness is deftly passed back and forth like professional infielders throwing the ball around the horn after a strike out. Eventually, the hilarity crescendos and the ball is passed back to the pitcher. My compliments to everyone for playing their positions so well. Still laughing and crying.

Eh, was that supposed to be a joke? If so, it wasn't funny.

Eh, no, it wasn't. Is that supposed to be a joke?

I actually have something of a track record of trying to apply the brakes when I am concerned that ridicule is piling on a little too deeply.

So, again, no. It is not a joke.

Thank you professor, you've really made me work to understand you here, reminding me of days of yore studying Fung Yu Lan, digesting the feast of intellectual seriousness he hunted, skinned, prepared, and served. I've made several intellectual connections between ideas, concepts, and analysis in an active, logically meaningful style that I've not been accustomed to as of late.

I think we all know the reason why. Droopy is scared of women.


Oh...you got me, Squishkumen. What penetrating, psychologically incisive analysis. How do you do it?

Any woman who dares to express her thoughts eloquently in the public eye send waves of terror down the overcooked-spaghetti spine of Droopy.


Which is exactly why I liked Jeanne Kirkpatrick's writing and speeches so much, and why I love to hear Laura Ingram masticate Leftist Morlocks like a piece of Dentyne. And those old Wu Sha movie swordswomen? Love 'em (Polly Shang Kuan could take 20 or 30 at a time, without mussing her hair)!

The only way he can deal with it is to engage in crazy cyberstalking.

The other day I wrote a post suggesting Droopy might want to take a College Writing 101 course to learn the use of periods and paragraphs. I decided it was a waste of time and deleted it. But you can understand why I about peed my pants laughing at this.
