I am immensely gratified. Immensely.

Critic2 wrote:can you tell me whether the expression "nerd" still applies to anyone who is obsessive about their knowledge of the workings of computers and loudly proclaims that knowledge to everyone within earshot.

Despite your punctuation I am assuming that was intended as a question? I suppose that the blanket term "nerd" can be applied to the people who are competent computer programmers or network administrators and so forth. Nerds. What a nice ring it has, and all the powerful wallop of a schoolyard taunt. Pow! You got me, now I'll tell mom.

Critic2 wrote:is there any special word these days for someone who so misjudges the tone of an exchange that they drain all the fun out of it by being inappropriately serious. When I were a lad we called such a person a "spoilsport" or a "miserable bastard". What would the young folk of today say?

I think they call people like that "critics" - didn't they do the same back in your day?

this okat is showing signs of class! are you sure you wish to frequent a place like this?

no poster has ever before been promoted as fast as you. now if you write a poem and contribute to the next comp. in the New Year there is no limit to the places you can go (subject to schedule and having the exact bus fare at hand)

someone like the Baby Troll smokey (and her family) could learn from your post. you wrote with a relaxed grace, she wrote with a burning bitterness. you have fun (I hope so anyway), she gets high blood pressure. yet she shows no sign of improvement and continues to send me pleading private messages (5 so far!)

regards

I would like to go to Spain but the bus won't get me there.

I do not feel that my writing is of a high enough quality to be entering any poetry competitions - I know I certainly would not spend the effort on reading it!

But since you asked nicely, here are a few lines just off the top of my head.

This web that no one wove
A strange and wondrous place
You can call a man a fool
But never to his face

Here every man is Atlas
A virile millionaire
there are no scrawny weaklings
there's no receding hair

Here everyone's a genius
They write, they paint, they sing
But in that world outside of here
No one does a goddamn thing.

No one, save Joe Way, anyway ~ geez, pay attention, will ya' C2? Getting bad as me

! Be that oversight as it may be, I'm enjoying the subtlety of Okat's posts. How many more are required before she/he[?] makes it to VIP?

I've been called many things before, but never a "she/he" - that's pretty insulting.

Well, geez.....you're absolutely right. Sorry for the insult. Way too much latitude.

So, C2, how many more are required before it makes it to VIP?

I think you just took a massive ettiquettal step down from "she/he" there. You must be loads of fun at dinner parties, especially with a few martinis in you.

ok/it ~

Pays your money, takes your choice. Personally, I'd have just gone with the one that fit. Especially in the context of a compliment.

Wrong crowd choice on the martinis. So much for the subtlety I was erroneously crediting. Oh well.

Over and out

You don't like martinis?

lizzytysh · Post by **lizzytysh** » Fri Dec 10, 2004 9:23 pm

No need at all for alcohol. Can strike a mood, at will, with or without it. No need to belabour the martini issue.

I stand corrected. I erroneously presumed that the "tysh" suffix in your name made allusions to some form of inebriation.

My sincerest apologies,
OKAT

One Martine (eee)
there's only one Martine (ee)

although I think she is currently recovering from the horrific idea that one of the Baby Trolls made that she is actually me in disguise. she hasn't posted for a while.

Lizzy, thank you for your submissions on behalf of okat for an official re-categorization and at least you follow the rules and ask in public (smokey has now written me *8* private messages pleading for promotion!).

However Rule 17 (2) (b) is pefectly clear and okat's case can not be reviewd until 8 days after his last promotion.

Alright Michael, if it's war you want, you've got it. As I said; I have never pm'd Critic2/Michael. Much less begged him to promote me on his idiotic list.

Until you retract your lie of my having pm'd you I am going to follow your posts. And I am going to say that you are a Liar, a dissembler, a fraud. Everytime you post.

Oh yeah, I'll also add a remark or two about the 9 out of 22 poems you wrote for the Poetry Contest.

By the way Tako, you are no secret either.
