Hmm. From those replies are also found this:

and this.

Not that our people put much truck in them, but they are curiosities. 

We have explained it that 7 is a number frequently conveying heavenly perfection, 6 (one short) conveying earthly imperfection, and anything three times are as for emphasis. For example, should Pudgy say anything outrageous the way he does (how much can I push this?) you might respond: 

Therefore, 666, is more or less ‘doing things the human way’ emphasized, deliberately rejecting godliness. The number used in Revelation can be taken that the overall world will go that way, posing a real test for anyone who doesn’t.

“Oh, shut up, shut up—with that Rooster Cogburn Kentucky-Fried Foghorn accent!!” 

Pretty much my favorite line from Knives Out, which i liked a lot, (though I thought the profanity unnecessary)  But one review I read of Glass onion was that it wasn’t as good.

Bad reviews or not, @Pudgy,I’ll search out Glass Onion. Beniot Blanc was just too much for his Poirot parody. “I see what you’re saying, Benny, but . . ”  the lead detective said. Everyone else called him Beniot.

They’d better not muck up the Musk caricature, and I’m sure they will, probably being left wing loons as such folks so often are. But I’ll still seek it out—in time—I don’t have Netflix.

Not defending your accusations with fact is the classic definition of “Bluster”.

I thought @Pudgy suggested attacking the point of view, not the person. Now you ridicule. Make up your minds and stick with reality and your words, or do they really mean nothing. 🤭

Not ridicule, just playfulness. Learn not to take yourself so seriously as I try not to take myself that way.

Since I have forgotten who ‘poster’ is, should i introduce a character by the name of Pete Poster to take his place alongside Rolf Kramden?

You might want to also advise @TrueTomHarley and @Anna of the poster's approval of @Pudgy's false understanding, as a man.

“Day after day, alone on his dunghill, the dog with a thousand fleas is keeping perfectly still.”

Moise will think it a reference to himself, but it is actually a good-natured one to the cowboy hat-wearing, Dilbert-reading mutt.

If it's too long then I know there's no point in trying to parse the letters into words.

Did I ever tell you about the app Tom Brexit downloaded to keep track of how many times Tom Irregardless said the I-word in his public talks?

Seriously, I do find that the 240 character limit of Twitter a good discipline for pruning unnecessarily long remarks. But here on the World News Media Forum there is no such discipline and the sky's the limit.

’My name is theirs—James Theirs.’

Alas, I’m told the guy is British, straight as they come, married, with two kids. It’s a bit embarrassing to have been caught judging a book by its cover. But, you have to admit, he doesn’t exactly look the James Bond type, and in these squirrelly times, you never know what’s coming next.

I promise not to say anything if Allan is presented as the next James Bond. I’ll zip it.

Seriously, it was a bar. I don’t remember any live entertainment.

I was the “new guy” on the project (light rail subway design) and they were taking me to lunch. I was wearing a cowboy hat and they said “You go in first.”

For no particular reason other than I am following Twitter at the moment, what if if was the new James Bond walking into that bar?

leading off not with his familiar, ‘My name is Bond—James Bond’ but with his pronouns.

’My name is theirs—James Theirs.’

the photo may be satire. There was a time when I would without hesitation say it was. But these woke times that drive entertainment industry are such that just maybe it is not.

a bunch of us from work went to this bar with no widows for lunch.

He says “Nobody likes me..” and I patted him on his shoulder and said “Welll, I can certainly understand that.”,

I dunno. Are you sure you didn’t mean there were only widows?

Hmm! How many times did you and other posters say, That Allan has been kicked out because of you people? Yet, you call it trash talk, and you remain here. Does that make sense to anyone, if he was accepting the challenge of that trash talk, and he got kicked out? What's the difference between you people's insults and that person?

Not only do you contradict yourself, but you and others complain about how many accounts that "Allan" has had to make, while you people seem to be free and clear. 

It looks like, these 2 forums are run by a handful of people that protect themselves at all cost. No moral standing by some, not all, just saying.

Does this mean that person got kicked out again? 😅😅

Good point. Whatever it is.

That being said, I hear your threat, Tom.

Come come, Allan, it’s not a threat. I’m just being playful. You can’t see that? I’m just blown away by how you came out of nowhere to resurface in all your glory. I make even worse ‘threats’ to Pudgy for the impolitic things he says …

and he just blows it off for the trash-talk it is.

Hmm. Do you think long-banned Allan should accept his reinstatement into the forum at this particular time of year seeing that some may regard it as accepting a Christmas present?

Could be another trap.

when you can save as many people by your death as did our Lord then I’ll sanction your ‘suicide’ as well.

Quite the contrary. His final performance brought the house down.

I really don't see the point of discussing whether suicide is a sin or not. 

The point is that just after Allen ascends from the netherworld, this feed suddenly runs several pages overnight. And the time spent is time you never get back.

Could one argue that the pillars killed him?

As it turns out, our deceased dog was named Samson. I would tell people he was not the Sampson that pushes apart the pillars but the Samson who pees on them.

I was thinking along those lines today as I pondered what happened to Sister Suicide’s house, belongings, clothes, bills, yard work, car…

Yes, it’s a big headache for them, but frankly the same thing occurs with any death. If only to shovel out the house, there’s usually lots for survivors to do.

Why, would Jesus resurrect those he plans to condemn in the first resurrection? It makes no sense. 

Doesn’t this fly in the face of what we recently learned about John 5:30–that an ‘unrighteous’ resurrected one’s future depends upon how they respond to God’s provisions from that time on, not a judgment of what they did in their prior life. Upon death, a person’s sin has been paid for.

Oh, wait. That was a typo. He meant banned, not band.

Sorry
