olie Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Allow me to echo the sentiment of the previous two posters relating to OldCowboy's world view. Nicely put. I think tolerance is a desirable trait here on these forums and we could all ignore some of the not so salient comments for the sake of decorum. A good evening to all.

MissouriPicker Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Below zero here tonight. I left a blanket and a can of tuna on the porch for any homeless trolls that slither-by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Below zero here as well. I'm on the way to your porch. Please include a can opener? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Below zero here as well. I'm on the way to your porch. Please include a can opener? Too late, OC, I'm already in the blanket - still some tuna left tho, bring sweet-red beer. If you see flickering shadows and light, MissouriP, , , it's just a little fire. .

flatbaroque Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 It was 98F degrees (37C) here a couple of days ago.Even the tuna are sweating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissouriPicker Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 No can opener (try pounding on it with a rock). And don't pound too loud. The dog will start barking and wake me up....Oh, and no fires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared to trolls elsewhere, our trolls are pretty well-mannered, and far more clever. Not a lot of conspiracy theories here. Lots of theories, however.

AnneS Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 The most pleasant Trolls abide within our forum👹 Yes, and though they lurk beneath our sometimes- laminated bridges, they are known to let us former English profs pass, largely un-accosted. Perhaps they are wise not to tangle... 🤓 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnneS Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Ah, another former laborer in academia? Yes, was adjunct faculty for several years in Austin, TX, but I didn't do it long enough to retire. I opted for a JD rather than a PhD back in the late '80s and was lucky eventually to get on with one of the big legal news/research companys and have been a home-based legal editor for 15 yrs and counting. The commute down the stairs can be arduous, but my guitars are always within easy reach. Trade-offs, dontcha know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
