SC!!!!! How the f**k are you?



TIS

Go back and read his response to Capo. That response doesn't resonate, at least to me, that his real intent here was an attempt at humor.

It's like reading a menu. Sometimes you have to read what's written underneath to fully grasp what is actually being served.


Don Cardi

Great balls of doody!! TIS is cursing!!??!!

The last time I heard TIS curse was when someone tried cutting in front of her on a breakfast buffet line. An old lady fainted, three sailors blushed and a longshoreman ran off in disgust after hearing her tirade.

Hey! F**K you mang! Who put dis ting togetha? Geoff, dats who! Who do I truss? Geoff! Wha do we loo like, a bunch a baggagehounds!



Don Cardi

....and when the bartender in Philly told her that he didn't have any more of those cute little blue drinks left.



Don Cardi

But what if after you read that menu over and over again you still don't understand whats written underneath??

Then that's when you say F**K IT!



Don Cardi

Nobody messes with my food or drinks.

I'm not a constant swearer, but probably do so more than people here would think. I don't have a reason really to swear here on the BB.

I use to (and still do) hate the f-word, but unfortunately find myself using it, these days, especially toward my least favorite political figures. I can become very creative.

TIS

I agree DC, but I don't come on here to try to figure out what other peoples hidden motives are, I come on to talk about a common passion we all have, movies.

I think it's ridiculous for any one person to think that he or she has to set the moral compass for the rest of us. It's arrogant and it's obnoxious. It belies their own insecurity and hidden agendas.

Anybody got a f*****g problem with that ?

Then you would have to do some research into what that deeper meaning is, and hope that the words weren't deleted from the dictionary.

A double "**"???

You calling me a fink? A fork?

Me! Dats who! So why dunt chu go stick chu head in shore culo, an see if it fits!





Don Cardi

Fork You? what is this Johnny Dangerously

A FunK.


Don Cardi

What a great idea

Thats it!! From now on instead of using an "*" I'm gonna write it is "4Q".

Get the flock out of here!!

Wow -- never thought such a stupid post would create such a racket.

I am glad though that some have the ability to figure out these so called underlying motves and let me know as I sure the hell did not know about them.

Deleting posts -- whats the big deal? I think there are still a bunch on there I did not have time to delete. Simply got frustrated one night and began deleting some and then it became a game -- nothing more, why someone makes about it I dont know and who cares? Why someone would take the time to go back and see what I have posted in the past amazes me that they would care to do so.

I only recall one person ever getting really pissed at me from something I posted -- Correction -- only one time someone ever posted something publically that I posted something they did not like. I think that may be on there as I do not recall deleting it Nor have I never had a topic I start get closed (though this may be the first)

Is there stuff I see that offends me? Yes but I choose to ignore or will talk to them in private.

My purpose has always been to use this site as a way to forget about the pressures of life, laugh at myself (and get others to learn to laugh at themselves) and to "get away". The daily pressures of life are tough enough and seeing others suffer is bad enough that i dont need to be serious on here and (except in extreme circumstances) avoided most serious topics here (or ones that I don't care about!)

I don't think anyone has ever said "fuck you" to me -- though they may want to . If you do -- great.

Matter of fact I don't believe I have ever said "Fuck You" to anyone either -- here or in real life. Occasionally words slip out -- but for the most part I have am not a potty mouth!

So..... read this and tell me what I really meant.

I'm not sure what the big deal is (maybe I missed something.) But I'm really confused by this whole topic.

Did Part do something to offend somebody. I read every post in this thread, and didn't get the least bit offended by anything. Maybe I just have a thicker skin than some people, I don't know.

If someone could fill me in, that'd be great!

Oh, and fuck all of ya's!

The sarcasm does little, mate; but I doubt you care anyway, right?

Exactly. Why would you even want to delete them?

Well, who cares? You do, for starters, if you're deleting them. And frustrated at what? You come here to escape the pressures of life? So why get frustrated at a message board, a place for clear escapism?

Perhaps they are concerned that the care-free Partagas would care enough to delete them in the first place. Out-of-character, so to speak, you know? A guy who preaches about not caring and being fun being concerned enough to delete his own posts for no specific reason. (And indeed, you've given no real reason here, either, but instead have said stuff like, "Who cares? I got frustrated.")

Whether your post was intended to humour us or not, I don't really care, to be honest.My entrance into this thread was on your wording of things. You had specifically chosen, consciously or not, to word things the way you did and the reasoning I got was a "high horse" way of saying things, to project yourself as this laid-back, care-free kind of guy who young people might try and cut down but fail to do so; why you would even want to do that, or want to come across as that is beyond me because a) you're known round here as a funny guy anyway, and b) I don't recall any moments on the board where somebody tried to cut you down; why would they, they have no reason to, you're not overly political or opiniated enough to be worth a serious discussion. And that's not a dig at all, it's a compliment, it's a character trait in you on your personality on these boards.

Just a few ruminations on a curious thread, and the way the thread has panned out, I guess.

With all do respect to Partagas, as well as everyone in this thread, Go Capo!!!!!!!

I just absolutely love it when the analytical word-smith Capo de La Cosa Nostra gets heavily involved with a conversation. I'm entertained already

As absurdly entertaining as this thread is, I couldn't agree with you more.

Part, I hope it is the offer that you can't refuse.

Apology for what? About the above? --that if she would say "Fuck You" to me -- she was mad and angry at me??? Not quite sure I understand. As mentioned I am not sure anyone ever said "Fuck You" to me before (before this thread and I was not implying that anyone that I mentioned ever has. Do you think lil Afi or Lavi would really say that to me (or anyone for that matter?)

I recall a joke thread I started and used various names as the "star" of the joke. People were pissed (in a joking way I hope) that I did not include them in the punch lines. Maybe that is this case here -- I should have gone straight down the BB and included everone somewhere? Oh well, figure it out as you desire?

Deleting posts -- yeah I deleted most of them and it was fun -- a game -- a challenge. Someone PMd me and gave me a hard time (in a joking way) about the percentage of posts that were joke related and that if I eliminated all the jokes I would have less than 100 posts. He was probably correct. Go back and look -- there are still some posts left -- they weren't all deleted including the one that you sent me a PM about.

I was frustrated at the time as all I saw was bickering back and forth between members and did not enjoy the BB as I had done so in the past. I figured I would lay low from the BB for awhile and just keep in touch with the members I enjoyed via e-mail or PMs.

The jokes??? Well I have them in a data base (probably several hundred pages worth) so if you want them back -- hey no problem:)

The thread is not curious but the way it panned out has -- I guess LOL

Yeah yeah yeah -- whatever, anyway to more important things. Teach me some snooker! I am decent in pool (though I got hustled real good last week) but never played snooker as it not available as readily in the states. How 'bout a game mate? is it true that most snooker players prefer and open hand bridge?

The real lesson here is that if you want to make sure you are insulting somebody you dont say "fuck you" you say "go fuck yourself"

Nope.

You say "F**k you pay me!"



Don Cardi

Snooker is a much more difficult game than pool; people who are amazing at snooker are generally very good at pool, but a good pool player, if he's never played on a snooker table, would struggle. Tony Drago is one of a rare few who made it to snooker through pool; many snooker players have played on the pool circuit, though, with little success: Steve Davis, Ronnie O'Sullivan, Mark Williams.

Bridges differ from player to player; O'Sullivan plays with both hands and different bridges, Steven Hendry, six-times world champion, plays with an open bridge, Mark Williams, my favourite player, is very unorthodox in stance and bridging hand and cue action and shot selection and just about everything else, Steve Davis is very old-fashioned and who can blame him because he owned the eighties and is still going strong today, Paul Hunter, who passed away to cancer late last year, was a terrific, natural player who used a closed bridge to great, very consistent effect, John Higgins is overtly open bridged, with his little finger knuckle higher than all others - again, very unorthodox, but seemingly very solid.

It's a tough game which, at top level, is all about confidence and psychological endurance. As much about mental stamina as it is technical skill. Most of the ranking events - those which decide who is placed where in the seedings across a season - are best-of-nine matches, so it's a race to five frames, resulting in a lot of upsets. The big tournaments - UK Championship and World Championship (and the Masters, but that isn't a ranking tournament, it's invitation, with the top 16 and two wildcards thrown in) are longer matches. The World Championship final is best-of-35, for instance, and goes across four sessions over two days. The emphasis on lengthier bouts is intended to sort the chimps from the champs; basically, you can't win ten frames by luck. In order to cause an upset in a long match, you've got play at a consistently high standard throughout the match. You've got to maintain your mental stability and keep one hundred percent focus all of the time. There are so many twists and turns in the long matches, so many turning points which often come down to one missed ball or a rub of the green; I love it. It's the one sport I think where it's all about taking responsibility for your own chances. If you're at the table, you're in and the potential is in your hands. In tennis and darts and whatnot, you always get the chance to fire a ball back at someone playing well; but in snooker, if you're sitting in your seat, there's nothing you can do. It's very damaging to watch somebody clear a table and for you to just sit there not being able to do anything about it.

I'd happily give you a game, mate, but I'm not sure if you'd be up for it. It isn't readily available in the States, like you said, and I wouldn't consider myself a teacher at it. In fact I'm rather bad at it.

But why do I sense that your invitation into an unknown sport I happen to love was deliberately undermined by four words, three of which were the same: "Yeah yeah yeah - whatever".

And why do I also get the sense that those same four words could be a recurring motif to my questioning of you?

As expected, my points in the other posts still stand, waiting for answers, and met with befuddled silence...
