It's just that you completely miss the concept of the mangle ... you need to mangle what I actually wrote, not try to pass off your inane thoughts as mine -- I have enough inane thoughts of my own.

Maybe you're not familiar with the "fixed" concept we sometimes do here by changing someones quote to what they actually mean. That is also why we point out that it was fixed and that you really did not say what was changed.

That is not a good example of the "fixed" concept and is just a lie. This is a true farley-like foolish error.

I thought American Ninja was great by Chris Farley btw. When he had his hand through the wall in that one scene and was supposed to disable the bomb and was really taking a part a telephone I almost lost it. Then he said, "there, Ive done it, the bomb is disabled"  :laugh2:  :laugh2:

This site should have a system like Craigslist where the members can click a link like "prohibited" and if enough people do it the posting is deleted but instead of that we temporarily ban members who do stupid things like dig up four and a half year old threads!
If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen

It is interesting that it took 4-1/2 years for someone to correct Tommy on his Chris Farley movie references.

No its interesting that someone took the time to read part or all of a 10 page thread from 4 1/2 years ago and then correct tommy about the movie.   :lol

I wasn't the one who dug the thread up...ahofle did..

I didn't realize it was 4 1/2 years old...and I didn't read the entire thread...i skimmed it.  :P

I only view unread posts since last visit. If someone responds to a 4 1/2 year old past it will show up on the list. Did not pay attention to the date the thread was created.

Skimming is the only sane way to read through a thread that tommy started. 

Unless it's the one where he whined to Saint about the trader feedback system.  What a baby.

@ahofle
i dont see how you posting that link makes this tommy character wrong.  maybe you misunderstand what sarcastic means?  posting a link of a pitbull saving a human beings life with no regard to its own safety really only shows support for what tommy said in the very beginning. 

and as for the original topic, i agree that tommy was out of his gourd for bringing up the subject with a customer.  however i think alot of you are forgetting that in the late 1900's (60's, 70's, 80's) german sheperds, doberman pinschers and rottweilers were decried as viscious and should be banned.  for whatever reason pitbulls became a popular breed in the 90's but theyve been around for a loooong time.  they were selectively bread over the last 60 or so years to be meaner than they were naturally.  what you need to do is stop hating the dogs for human beings did to them.  if pitbulls are being considered dangerous just because you dont know how theyll react in a given situation and therefore should be killed or banned dont you think that the most unpredictable animal in the kingdom should suffer the same fate?  and yes that would be us, home sapiens, the animal with the greatest propensity for wanton unwarranted and unprovoked destruction on this planet.  WE made pitbulls the way they are, WE should take the blame not them.

if you have some sort of snide comment to make please refrain as i dont care.  im not attacking anyone and nothing you say will make me believe differently about the why of pitbulls bad reputation.

Do you do all your measuring with the largest common unit?  Because normal non trolling peeps use graduated scales.  Lemme explain. October is the 10th month of the year. May is the fifth, we are more than 5 months short of 5 years. Come back and spread your correction around then...

i dont see how you posting that link makes this tommy character wrong. 

The fact that tommy didn't understand the difference between a Ninja (Xouchey2!) from Beverly Hills and America should have been a reasonable clue to the fact that you don't want to hitch your wagon to his viewpoint.

Read his myriad threads. Then come back and defend him.
