General Discussion / The Humour Zone / Trouble is My Middle Name

Here's what I'm trying to figure out--you have a rule against political discussions. Fine. This is a website for admins and I can certainly understand wanting to stay away from controversy. But then I see all these Al Gore "jokes" and I'm wondering just what the deal is. You won't allow political discussions (which can be invigorating and healthy) yet you consider political jokes to be non-political enough to post here?! One person's humor is another person's ewwwwwww. We old political activists have learned to win and lose gracefully and to avoid ridiculing the competition. What goes around comes around...

Hey RadarO, it's a deal! By the way, I used to be known here, there and everywhere as Mustang Sally (not Alec, goddamnit!) and I'm ready to defect. (How does a person do that, anyway?)I can even speak 8 words of French, and I s'pose I could learn to love hockey. And there's nothing about Canadian weather that Minnesota didn't prepare me for. (I know, Ms. Robbie, bad, bad grammar. Very bad.) So keep the light on for me, kiddo.

Hey, Radar, is there room in Canada for a disenfranchised, pissed off American? I made a solemn vow that if a certain person were elected president of the U.S., I'd cash in my citizenship and leave the country. And my worst nightmare is living in the White House. Argh! Whaddya think? Can I seek sanctuary up North? And I am soooo not kidding!

General Discussion / Topical Climates / Freaked Out

Crafty/Shannon: I think (no, I KNOW) that the local media--among others--were monitoring my posts at several websites, including Oclick (especially my posts to and from Soultrain). I got suspicious a couple months ago at an eerie and unending bunch of "coincidences"--I kept hearing and reading my very own words, but they were claimed by and credited to other people. (I know, I know, Crafty. This sounds really Twilight Zoney) I am sure that my stuff (and probably other people's) was swiped. Arghhh! I know there are folks for whom this wouldn't be a big deal. But it is to me. I've been taking a sabbatical from the 'Net. It's not a fun place to be anymore.

General Discussion / Topical Climates / Internet Theft

Damn, I'm ticked off! I have been ripped off by scoundrels. Stuff I've written--at Officeclick and other websites--has been swiped and used by scumbags for profit. Theirs! Sometimes it's been verbatim, word-for-word theft. Sometimes it's been more subtle. Andrea, I appreciate the care you've taken with your Terms of Service, the safeguards you have put in place to protect everybody's copyright rights. But the truth is, nobody owns nothin' on the 'Net. It's all up for grabs. Be careful, everybody. The stuff you write here has value. Mustang "Rush me to the Burn Unit" Sally

White Satin: I have always told my husband that I will leave him for one of two men--Sinatra or Pacino. (hubby ain't holding his breath) Since Sinatra has gone to that Big Mafia Meeting in the Sky, I have no other choice but to zero in on Al. Even though Al is gettin kinda weathered-looking (ala Clint), I gotta stand by my man (ala Tammy Wynette).
Football fever/I Got It Bad--When I see a fleet-footed wide receiver in a purple uniform streaking down the field and making a spectacular catch, I don't begrudge that guy or any of his teammates the millions that they make--even though many are convicted felons. If a guy has committed multiple homicides but can make a great football play, heck, I'm willing to let bygones be...
Where IS Mae STrunk, anyway? Maybe Jesse's got her in a hammerlock.

Ge, are you making light of Mission:Pacino?!! I won't have it! I tell you, this is serious business!!! My life's work.
Radar: Impending doom. Vikings owner, a Texan, keeps making loud (and suddenly louder), serious threats to move the team unless they get a new stadium. this would be devastating. Almost as bad as seeing Al Pacino hand-in=hand (or cheek-to-cheek) with a tall blonde.
