Behold, I am the first to post in this forum. Um...and that's all I have to say. I am stoked for this and anxiously await wailing upon all of you through the convoluted means of ambiguous law.

Don't you mean "whaling"? If so then I believe that you are outrageously mistaken. But enough talking smack.

So call me Ishmael, I guess... NO! Whaling doesn't even make sense, we're not anywhere near a body of water containing whales! Honestly, some people.

I am sure that he did not mean 'whaling' but, according to the unconscious impulses of his id, knew that he would indeed be 'wailing' after he attempted to exchange lectures of legislative invective with us, his esteemed law-abiding and legislation-imbibing collegues.

Umm... is there a translator in the house?

Well isn't my face red. It's funny how one can use a word for many, many years of one's life but not know how to spell it. After realizing that "wailing" would be the gerund of "wail", I went to my trusty dictionary and found that "wailing" does not contain the connotation that I had thought at the time of post. So Hilton suggested "whaling", however, I'm not a mariner. Rather, it was "waling" that I wanted (which, had I randomly encountered prior to hearing it, I never would have guessed it to be a homophone to "wailing" and "whaling"). My what a fun trip through the nuances of the English language this has been!
But I feel I should warn you. I...uh...just made that error to...uh...throw you off. Yes, that's it. Throw you off. You see, I'm really a master of the English language and when the debates and the like start over adding/removing rules in Nomic, you all shall be in such awe of my vastly superior diplomatic/politicking skills that...um...your heads might...explode. Yeah...explode... So you've been fairly warned. Because I totally knew the difference between "whaling", "waling" and "wailing" from the start and anyone who says differently is clearly speaking crazy-talk because s/he is crazy.

Oh...and you misspelled "colleague". So um...take that. Nyah.

Right... It was definitely a Freudian slip. I may groan over my misspellings, but at least they do not betray a predilection for wailing due to association with you. Yes, you should now commence the first wail. …unless you were wise enough to begin at the earliest responses to your punctilious posting.

Oh, and I am now spell-checking my responses. Thanks, Sean.

Ho...ho...ho... Sean. It's funny on so many levels. So realizing there's no way I can really "win" this one, I'll concede my error. But at least I never suggested that I was hunting whales.

Well, since Senator Carlson is practically begging me to sling mud at him, I will. To make him happy. I do that on occasion. On rare occasions. I'm not quite sure what to say though. No, wait... here it comes... wait for... yes. I hereby dub him Captain Nemo.

This is why you shouldn't try to get in on others' blood feuds. You just aren't funny or anything. Also, the joke with the Big Gulp cups referring to the creepy fairy was in NO way funny. I am scarred for life.

Um... By the way, I think that this forum is officially dead. The two last messages just do not allow for any reply. They are really rather disturbing.

True.

Agreed, and you definitely don't want to see Hilton's representation of the "Great Fairy".

"Great Fairy"??? Now I'm curious. What is it? I think I do want to see it!

I'm thinking... no.... Sorry :).

pout

Pout?

Well, yeah. When a girl doesn’t get what she wants, she is supposed to pout, right? It's a girl's prerogative. Sometimes it's effective. So... pout, pout?

Pout away my friend, pout away.

He he, I am posting on my original post. Let's see if anyone notices and posts a reply.

Reply!

Well, that was fun. I guess Hilton at least regularly patrols these seeming dead posts. Bytheway, out of boredom in my "quarantine", I'm putting together some forum statistics.

Methinks many patrol the dead for signs of life. One never knows just when it will be safe to check pockets for loose change... one might end up with nine sickels and a dung bomb...

Very cute. But what is the point of patrolling the dead for signs of life if life is what you seek? Better yet to instill in the dead regions life that it may beget other life. Also, never, EVER, light a dung bomb and stay anywhere in the vicinity.

Probably because I am pretty sure that this forum will never really be alive again; it won't hit the new-topics spot, so most people will be ignorant of its burgeoning brilliance.

Well, we inspectors seem to be doing a good job of not letting it die, then.

he he he...

So this begs me to ask, what is its "burgeoning brilliance"?

I find all NTP comments to be brilliant. Well, almost. But the witty ones definately are. Usually. So, as long as comments are being made, and I am being amused, I will stand my mu assesment of the Burgeoning-ness of the brilliance of the posts. hah.

How are you forward in time?

AH! Now I'M forward in time! I've lost several hours of my life!

Mwahahaha! Now you know how I feel!!

Of course, returning to Pittsburgh, you have lost a couple hours of your life, actually. You shan't get them back until you return to Provo. Until then, we hold them hostage. Mwa ha ha.

Awwww... Shoot! That's really mean... Would it make any difference if I pouted? It didn't before, but... pout, pout? Those lost hours are really making me tired!!

Well, you'll be getting those few hours back in about a week. So...how about a game of bridge when you get back into Provo?

sure! ...though now we have to wait for a fourth still!

Wow, I was wondering if anybody would ever catch this one. It's been a while.
