Magma, I have a sense of humor but it don't include disguised insults, degrading remarks and personal attacks as "humor" ....i have never said one ill word to you..nor to anyone on this forum and when you decided to insult my country and its people in the form of a thinly veiled "joke".. i decided to report it to the moderators to handle it instead of responding to you...when you took your hiatus from the board after it was deleted, you came back and made a few snide comments directed at me......again..i didnt respond.....this time i did.

I don't come here to be the target of anyone's personal attacks...i give everyone the respect and courtesy they deserve, bald guys have to hear insults and snide remarks all the time we shouldn't have to hear it here..i highly doubt tyler had that in mind when he made this forum......even your signature "Is that your face or are you trying to be funny?" is offensive...do you realize that the majority of people come to this forum because they are worried about their looks? and to get the self-confidence on how to deal with it?..how does another personal attack on someone's looks help that?

i have nothing against you and do not wish to argue with you or to be enemies with you.......if you wish i will stay in my corner and you in yours ...that way we can maintain the spirit of this forum.

Magma, I have a sense of humor *SNIP*

when you've quite finished with your soapbox, allow me to point out a few things.
Firstly, that article I posted that you took offense to, was satirical. SATIRE kajun, you may need to look the meaning of the word up. Pretty much everyone here got the joke, apart from you.

Secondly, I find it highly amusing that someone who can take offense at the John Cleese thread I posted, will then go on to post a joke about a marine and two arabs. But of course, nooooo, that joke wouldn't be offensive, because it's a joke, right?!!...

thirdly, and most importantly, as Tyler pointed out,

Hey  bro, I think you left yourself wide open for that one and MB just happened to be the first one to get ya on it.

You did leave yourself wide open for that one!
What would your reaction have been if it had been someone else who had responded to your post? Let's cut to the chase here, you would have laughed  and not taken it personally...
it's YOU that has the problem with me Kajun, and not the other way around.

So allow me to point you in the right direction, thankfully and by pure coincidence (if you believe in that kind of thing) there's another thread on here that specifically applies to you,
it's called "Shut Up, Stop Whining & Get A Life!"

For their lightness and feel I like Merrell Continuum tennis shoes.  I had always wore cheap shoes before but never again... your feet will love you for it.

Wow ... who thought a thread entitled "footwear of choice" could be so entertaining?

I'm thinking we should start taking bets on who will emerge the victor!  D!u!




Oh wait?!?  Is this post insulting?  :(

Hey X, all I can think about with your new pic is the video "One" by Metallica.

I'll be the first to admit that I'm a pretty thin skinned guy when it comes to national affairs (especially when the Administration is attacked from within from people dealing without facts). However, even I got the joke of John Cleese's (of Monty Python fame...hello?) satire.

Oh yeah ... I remember that video.  I think that was Metallica's first video actually.  Good times...  My avatar comes from me playing around on photoshop over the weekend and this pic that I came up with I thought would be an amusing avatar.

As for the joke Kajun is talking about ... I have read this infamous joke and thought it was funny as hell.  I am an american and thought it was quite funny.  I don't see what all the fuss is about personally.  It was also obvious that magma was just joking on the shoes and that didn't seem like a personal attack to me...

Are jokes not allowed in this forum?

If jokes weren't allowed, this forum probably would cease to exist.

I remember reading that John Cleese routine quite a long time ago.  I may be mistaken, but I seem to remember that it first popped up around 2000 and it in its original form it was making fun of the 2000 US Presidential campaign and the lack of a clear-cut winner for the first 30 days or so.  As such, it wasn't taking shots at any President, Administration or candidate.  It was making fun of the US, but that particular election was fair play as a target for jokes.

And ever since, no close election won by the GOP has gone unchallenged.

OK, everyone take a looks at Tyler's review of Cootchie:
http://www.slybaldguys.com/smf/index.php?topic=2649.0;topicseen
Rub some of that on for less friction.  Plus we will all smell floral.

A little Cootchie never hurt anyone.
