I guess spirit is very frail... quite fitting actualy.

Lol, I'd just think: "Nature is so beautiful."

I just hope that the old lady weren't reincarned into the dove, dying twice in a row. Imagine:
- Oh, I'm free! Free!
*glances over the wings*
- Uh-oh.

[Omega_Destroyer]

Maybe the old lady was really evil or something.

I'm pretty sure doves don't grow up that fast.

[Panda Tar]

She could have possessed that one. As OD said: maybe she was evil.

I said it before and I'll say it again, people make way too much noise in public bathrooms. I hate that.

[Omega_Destroyer]

Some people just fail at "dude" etiquette.

Er, what kind of noises? Sometimes, it's just unavoidable, isn't it?

That's your main problem with public toilets?! Lucky sod.

[winterfate]

That isn't that bad. It can't get worse.

You get a violent urge to go to the bathroom and there are two toilets. One is "Out of Order" and the other one looks like the murkiest swamp you could ever imagine...

I'll just leave you guys with that mental picture...
(It is very nasty.........)

[Milla aka. the Slayer]

I have seen that toilet!! It's located in Krakow, Poland

[winterfate]

Ugh...thought about it...

You wouldn't happen to have a pic, would you Milla?

No, actually I take that back. I don't want to see it...

[Milla aka. the Slayer]

No, cause I screamed like a sissy girl and ran out of there as fast as I could...it still haunts me...especially the smell

[winterfate]

Ugh...I could imagine...

@Milla: How did you become the Slayer?

And a totally random thought:
Why don't we have a thread to explain our usernames? (or would it be better to write that in the Introduce Yourself thread?)

[Omega_Destroyer]

Some slayer.

And Fate, I believe a thread exists to explain our usernames. You could just do a search to find it.

[winterfate]

I haven't been able to find it, Omega!

I DID find this though:

The Twelve Rules of Flaming

1. Make things up about your opponent: It's important to make your lies sound true. Preface your argument with the word "clearly." "Clearly, Fred Flooney is a liar, and a dirtball to boot."

2. Be an armchair psychologist: You're a smart person. You've heard of Freud. You took a psychology course in college. Clearly, you're qualified to psychoanalyze your opponent. "Polly Purebread, by using the word 'zucchini' in her posting, shows she has a bad case of penis envy."

3. Cross-post your flames: Everyone on the net is just waiting for the next literary masterpiece to leave your terminal! From the Apple II RoundTable to X-10 Powerhouse RoundTable, they're all holding their breath until your next flame. Therefore, post everywhere.

4. Conspiracies abound: If everyone's against you, the reason can't *possibly* be that you're a sh??head. There's obviously a conspiracy against you, and you will be doing the entire net a favor by exposing it.

5. Lawsuit threats: This is the reverse of Rule #4 (sort of like the Yin & Yang of Flaming). Threatening a lawsuit is always considered to be in good form. "By saying that I've posted to the wrong group, Bertha has libeled me, slandered me, and sodomized me. See you in court, Bertha."

6. Force them to document their claims: Even if Harry Hoinkus states outright that he likes tomato sauce on his pasta, you should demand documentation. If Newsweek hasn't written an article on Harry's pasta preferences, then Harry's obviously lying.

7. Use foreign phrases: French is good, but Latin is the lingua franca of flaming. You should use the words "ad hominem" at least three times per article. Other favorite Latin phrases are "ad nauseum," "veni, vidi, vici," and "fettuccini alfredo."

8. Tell 'em how smart you are: Why use intelligent arguments to convince them you're smart when all you have to do is tell them? State that you're a member of Mensa, or Mega, or Dorks of America. Tell them the scores you received on every exam since high school. "I got an 800 on my SATs, LSATs, GREs, MCATs, and I can also spell the word 'premeiotic' ."

9. Accuse your opponent of censorship. It is your right as an American citizen to post whatever the hell you want to the net (as guaranteed by the 37th Amendment, I think). Anyone who tries to limit your cross-posting or move a flame war to email is either a communist, a fascist, or both.

10. Doubt their existence: You've never actually seen your opponent, have you? And since you're the center of the universe, you should have seen them by now, shouldn't you? Therefore, THEY DON'T EXIST! This is the beauty of flamers' logic.

11. Lie, cheat, steal, leave the toilet seat up.

12. When in doubt, insult: If you forget the other 11 rules, remember this one. At some point during your wonderful career as a Flamer you will undoubtedly end up in a flame war with someone who is better than you. This person will expose your lies, tear apart your arguments, make you look generally like a bozo. At this point, there's only one thing to do: INSULT THE DIRTBAG!!! "Oh yeah? Well, your mother does strange things with vegetables."

Honorable Mention:
13. When all else fails, call into question someones grammer or spelling.


This is hilarious! I was thinking of bumping that thread itself, but nah...it would've been a rather spammerific thread.

Quite right there. I remember replying in that thread. You'll find there that I was once a bird, and not a panda.

@Milla: How did you become the Slayer?

Simple: I just wrote it
I'm not exactly good at coming up with names for such things as forums

[Elvin]

So you've never slain anything? Even something small?

An enormous amount of spiders have I slain in my time. That takes courage

And once I accidentally shot a bird
