I could say the same to you.  My point was that no one is going to be happy with ALL the discussion but as long as it's not downright mean or something I would never go and say that people's posts were stupid and then bemoan it as you have done.

So in essence you could say the same thing to yourself. 

Didn't I?.

Also, when did I say something downright mean about the tiny cans?

Is something else bothering you? You seem to have a high sensitivity about my opinion about the cans.

Also thanks Ark. I appreciate the sentiment more than the fictional beverage.

Better yet, start your own board so I don't have to read 20 posts a day about the dumb little cans.

I have the all time record for negative cans, though. The last few days have had so many dumb discussions about imaginary cans of Dr Pepper being shared by total strangers who gathered together ostensibly due to their love of imaginary cats who wear thongs and talk to alive stuffed animals.This is not normal behavior.

In other words, those of us still clinging to our sanity and rationality would appreciate if the rest of you PM each other about the cans.

And I didn't even start the thread you said that in, but it seemed pretty harsh and rainy on paradey at the time.

But, if it's just misunderstandings then I will pick up olive branches and bake you a cake in truce.

A post in which I attempt to distract people from arguing by passing on mean things that people said about wombats to drew of toothpastefordinner:

every email i got about this from australia said "that is a wombat. they are common here. they are mean animals". apparently they are famous in australia for being rude animals. just, i mean, no manners, always grabbing the potatoes off the table, not holding a fork right, the whole thing.

Well I never.

Hey I said truce, the fighting is over I assume.  AD and I are big boys, we can take it.

Hey I said truce, the fighting is over I assume.  AD and I are big boys, we can take it. 

If we need a truce to stop a conversation we have bigger problems. I have to say I reread it twice and I don't see any downright meanness.

And I think I can get an amen around here when I say I can do downright meanness.

To further complicate things, when I consult my trusty NTC's Dictionary of American Slang and Colloquial Expressions (Second Edition), neither "y'all" or "ya'll" are listed but there is an entry for "ya"

From the slang dictionary:

ya pro. you. (Eye-dialect.  Typical spoken English. Used in writing only for effect. Used in the examples of this dictionary.)  "See ya!"  "Is this all ya want?"

[misterqueue]

*shrug* then maybe I read it with the wrong intonation or my serotonin levels are low or the moon was full or someone cut me off in traffic.   That's the problem with the internet, no physical or vocal cues to intent.  </sincerity>

What does NTC stand for?

Is this some kind of Canadian LOW SHENANIGAN?

[side_show]

No joke AD. 

NTC stands for "National Textbook Company, a division of NTC Publishing Group, Lincolnwood, Illinois, USA. The Best, By Definition."  The absence of y'all or any alternate spelling of it is very confusing to me, because, well, it's so damn common.

i'd drop a tiny can of dr pepper on ya'll like a mick foley elbow to the concrete off the apron but
my computer ate my ability to click links while i was trying to listen to the best band ever, Clutch, on
my old computer using a weird front end for an old version of winamp that i saw recommended in the
comments section of some hipster-off-the-wall webcomic that sucks.

This is the most amazing sentance i've read in quite sometime.  It's like driving a car fast down the freeway and having one of the wheels come off.  All you can do is ride it out and hope for a soft landing.

Can worthy.

Hell yeah he's sensitive, he had 100 cans and was riding high.  All writing Augustwest fan fiction, all climbing the board social ladder at an unprecedented pace.  This young rookie can't believe that he's standing shoulder to shoulder with board hall of famer Wombat.  His head was swimming with his success.  Then suddenly he finds himself back down at the not quite awesome 99 can mark.  Hell yeah he's sensitive.

i'm just happy that someone could appreciate my sentence for the metaphor it
is for my life.

incidentally paul, i think you may be my personal buddha.  if i were to ever do acid, which i never would do,
i would only do it with you around, because you are apparently the antithesis of a bad trip.

Agreed. I don't think I'll ever do acid, but I imagine an acid trip with Paul as being bright and fun, like "Yellow Submarine" except the submarine shoots fire now, and the next morning the board would have the raddest picture thread ever.

[pmcd9]

Wow.  I don't really know what to say.  Thanks guys for thinking so highly of me.  I love you.
