COTH BBer's Pledge

[Anyplace_Farm]

OK, King’s Ex…

Repeat after me:

I ______, do solemnly pledge that I will not make mention of thongs, Mexicans, jockstraps, body piercings, mules, drawreins, martingales, Mosby’s, sexual orientation, half-chaps, Sea Urchin’s whereabouts, Towerheads, unapproved helmets and other controversial topics.

I will be nice to my fellow posters and respect their diversity and their feelings. I will not chime in with Colin when she runs amock and I will not allow myself to be drawn in by Moesha.

There now…doesn’t that feel better? I, personally pledge to the above. Well…for at least 30 days.

[Canter]

[B] Nooooooo, leave it. All the more reason for people to take the pledge and respect diversity. We just need a King’s Ex for awhile, I think. I think we all should pay a little closer attention to what we say and how it might affect others. Really. I mean, look at how you are feeling and I don’t like that. You shouldn’t feel that way.

I pledge!![/B]<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Anyplace what’s a “King’s EX”? I haven’t heard that one before…

[Jair]

Hey! Thanks again everyone.(Slugger, ETBW,Colin, Heidi, CANTER, Anyplace) So nice to see my dear friends are there for me.

I am going home now in a much better frame of mind. See you tomorrow!

[B.G.M_heidi]

Canter, you should have spoken up earlier whence I was composing odes to the forlorn. Okay, it’s late but I have composed an ode to you too cause I care, damn it!!!

Cry for the stiffness of the earlobe.
The turtles are fallen and the rain stands still.
How long must I suffer with your undergarments?

You want me to call up your boss (is it a Dube brother, BTW?) and explain that your time is much better spent here on this BB?

[Colin]

30 days? I will bet on that one, Anyplace!

Let’s be a bit more realistic…like how about through the end of the week?? I could pledge to that one!

[B]Sorry Anyplace - I won’t take the pledge. I’m not sure if you’re being somewhat serious or not, but according to your pledge I’m not allowed to be gay. While I try not to flout it, I know it pops out every now and then in my posts - but then that is who I am.

I’ve already said I will try to tone down my posts as Erin has asked. [/B]<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Jair you’re doing it again.

[Jair]

It must be alcoholic if Anyplace is talking about it!!!

Anyhow - thanks guys. You have made me feel better all of a sudden. Sorry for the melodrama, just got my back up a bit I guess…

Man, I was hoping someone wouldn’t ask me that. It was a thing my dad said all the time and it meant, ‘time out’. I’m sure it has some reason for it’s meaning but it’s lost on my generation, I suppose.

[Canter]

Don’t tell me you know one of the Dubes’!
Ye gods - Scott but he’s a group head - no comments from the cheap seats please!

Thank you for your ode to the forlorn. I now have a tummyache - not from your poem, from watching disgustingly boring focus groups in a room with too many bowls of stale Doritos.

I am avoiding being drawn in by you. I pledged.

Oh shut up, Jair! It’s all in fun! The whole gist of the jest was that some of the kids got all in a dither the other day about someone mentioning their sexual orientation. Darling, play along…we love you the way you are…it was meant for everyone. It’s not meant to mean one person. I would not do that to you.

That’s what friends are for!

Anyplace, I’ll pledge if I can mention food once in while. Besides, we locals can have a good time with hilarity in person and behave with semi-decorum on the net.
I would really miss Robby and Jair and Jeb and Slugger, Heidi, etc…(yes, Colin, too) if I or they were blacklisted.

KS is sacred, BlueGoo too sweet, VTrider and many others I have yet to meet and all these people (including the naughty ones) have loads of intelligent H/J info to impart. I think the holiday silliness is infecting us

Ah ha! I do believe you “pledge” lasted exactly 26 minutes Anyplace!!! <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

I was hoping no one would notice!!

[B.G.M_heidi]

Did I not tell you that I used to work at SMW back in the good ole days when Dube Brother Jr. (always thought of him as Jimmy Osmond myself) was a measly copywriter who was rarely in his office…email me, we’ll share the dirt. God hate those nasty focus groups - really, at the end of the day, how artificial is that???

Horsey reference, hey what you gonna wear to Quinn’s toque and thong horse show? I’m gonna wear my new Betsy Johnson, so cooool.

Okay, I’ll stop now.

[AHC]

30 days??? Oh, Anyplace, don’t be a scrooge and ruin the holidays for us…

[Colin]

Jair - all it says it not to mention anything about sexual orientation - i.e., being straight, gay, lesbian, anything or everything. I really think Anyplace meant not to mention anything about sex, period!

I don’t think Anyplace was saying you can’t be gay…I mean, after all, in Seinfeld’s words…“Not that there’s anything wrong with that”… and plus, Anyplace posted about respecting diversity.

No more pouty face, Jair…you make me sad, too!!! you’re my little buddy!

[B.G.M_heidi]

Jairness, I have written you an ode, a Cheer Up Jair Ode:

Your nose hair is pleasingly twisted
with the roots of a bristlecone pine
that is so precariously perched on the side of a cliff it may easily uproot and fall upon the Canadian Alliance lobbyists below

I agree with Canter BTW, the ‘snot-nosed kid’ to whom you refer is a sweetheart and perhaps too smart for her own good – much like her almost-adopted mother moi, not to mention many on this BB. I know she didn’t mean any harm whatsoever and certainly did not intend her remarks to be a personal indictment of you.

Love her and embrace her Jairie, once we marry she shall be calling you almost adopted darling Papa

Nooooo, wrongo…I am such a good girl. I really don’t drink much at all. Although, I notice that is a real common thread with horse people. I am meeting some really nice horse people these days, but man, do they drink…

I will not be drawn in…
