Exactly Jair!!
For a second there I thought maybe she meant Molson’s EX but then I realised Anyplace isn’t Canadian

Anyplace, I’ll pledge if I can mention food once in while.
[/B]<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Oh, I would think food would be completely within the pledge boundaries. I mean, what could possibly be offensive about food? Especially yours? Hey, we might see you at Cedar Ridge on the hunter day of it. Is there a cover charge to your tailgating?

I pledge. Pledge along, now… c’mon… Get in the spirit. Let’s all band. Kumbaya.

[B]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]<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
OK, Colin, you have redeemed yourself. That’s right Jair…kisses to you, OK?
Notice how Everythingbutwings DIDN’T say how she’d miss CANTER?
I’m crushed. I’m turning off my computer and going home.

Oh, Canter, I would miss you as well as all the others on the board (even the ones that remind me of my 5th grade teacher)
Actually I live in the fear that I would be the one boosted!
I should follow the lead of the royal Kennett Square! She obviously learned long ago to temper her remarks with a sensible regard to the little pitchers and grannies who also frequent this site.
(and I am quite certian that MY granny would take me to task for the shameful behavior that I have indulged in lately 
) Granny did always fall for my apple/cranberry pie though!
Anyplace - no! no cover charge, my repasts fall under the guise of “house cleaning” to charge would upset the home gods. Mr. Wings doesn’t do leftovers but insists on vast quantities when we create. I have warned him, however, that he will be whacked with a wooden spoon should he drool over your visage!
Egads, Duffy AND Anyplace at the same show! Now that is something for any supposedly happily married woman to fear! I should have been more suspicious when he disappeared into the throne room with my copy of the COTH!

Anyplace, I could sooner give up chocolate! Like the Seinfeld episode “The Bet” are you sure you want to be “Master of Your Domain?”
Sorry Anyplace. I’m not annoyed at you. I know that that kid was aiming her remarks at me on the “thong thread” and I have to say it hasn’t made me feel too good to have some snotty nose kid make that sort of judgement. That I was singled out within an already raunchy type thread for my comment just because they knew I was a man did not leave me feeling the least bit "kumbaya"ish. If you want I’ll go back an delete my post so your thread can go back to being happy.
Guess I’m in the wrong mood for this today.

Jair please don’t let that kid’s comment get under your skin!! I know her fairly well and she was using her own special brand of sarcasm to get everyone going … for heaven’s sake.
I love ya man. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
I don’t want to presume to speak for Jair, but I just went back to read the thong thread and I suspect that the Canadian youngster is not the child in question.
Jair, I didn’t see that nasty post before. I’m so sorry someone would be so mean to you. The child in question sounds to be a nasty little thing, and certainly in the minority here. We all love you!
In the spirit of keeping things horse related: Jair, this is my last feeble attempt to entice you to West Palm for WEF this winter. Please please please come visit! If you’ll come, I bet many other BBers will come and we can all have a big [inebriated] get together! I still have a horse for you to borrow, who is wonderful and big in case you’re tall. And if you think some of the posters here (nasty child) think you’re weird, wait until they all see my tattoos!!!
Ok - Our “pledge thread” has quickly turned into a bonding love fest between the radical BB posters. You guys…I hate to say it, but I really think we have completely bonded w/ one another!!! Regardless of our crazy antics, we have really become true friends.
Goofy, I know…this is supposed to be a discussion forum about horses…but it’s become even MORE and BETTER than that…we need to look at the positive side of this entire thing. Good friends are hard to come by. I know.
And I also know that I have received a GREAT DEAL of friendship - caring, concerned emails,from all of you.
OK Sea Urchin - here’s your chance!!! Slam me,baby!! For my “hallmark moment”

Ah ha! I do believe you “pledge” lasted exactly 26 minutes Anyplace!!! 
Heidi, you MUST come to WEF too. I’m dying to meet you in person!
But also a little afraid you’ll make me laugh so hard I pee my pants in public…
Hey, just wondering… Isn’t Towerheads an equestrian website? What’s so controversial about that? Is it the McLain Ward interview on it? Oops, brought up another controversial topic.
P.S. You’d think, by now, I would have all the smilies memorized! I didn’t, I had to edit this message to replace an embarrassment smiley with the “Eek!” smiley I intended on.

Anyplace…have you been drinking?

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!!

Everythingbutwings - it’s okay, my Nana’s spirit lives in her toaster, which holds a place of honour in my kitchen.
Since she hasn’t burned the toast lately I know she’s giving us the thumbs up.
Jair - big hug thanks. I think I’ve had the same kind of day as you have! I wish there was a big kiss smilie.

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.
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.
