Irrelevant Post (IP)
Re: Reply to Mr. Garaffa. "exclude" button.
>>I just assumed your "exclude button" comment was meant for me. Your above comment was posted last night immediately following my post in which I poked fun at the recent wine conversations between yourself, Vic and Jack.<<
While one could make the same assumption, it was a mere coincidence that my post followed immediately yours. I copied my post below, an as you can see it was made in response to Mr. Klimpl's proposal for a whino thread.

>>I like the idea of the "topic title" if we all agree to try it. I'm not keeping count, but it appears from the posts that the votes are an overwhelming "yes" to keeping the serious stuff, as well as the clutter, all on the same thread. Anything to speed up the reading of
these posts would help.<<
I thought it would be helpful and would identify posts and make the whole process more efficient...
However, if you see post # 28492
I became the victim of my own medicine!!

X,
May I humbly suggest further, that we each classify our posts as:
1. on topic and really important
2. on topic and so-so
3. on topic but untrue
4. on topic but boring
5. off topic and really important
6. off topic and really annoying
7. off topic and poster doesn't care
8. partly on topic and partly off topic
9. more on topic than off
10. more off topic than on
11. totally irrelevant, but necessary to poster's survival
12. relevant, but just plain dumb
I'm sure there are other possibilities. This post is a number 12.

So, I will give it a try for a while and then take it from there...
>>Like I stated earlier, I'll play lemming just like the next guy and go with the flow.<<
Very dangerous statement (potentially), Mr. Garaffa, One must never assume that the next guy is as honorable or trustworthy as oneself...
People will take the advantage if you let them, and without asking.
Napoleon said that: "People have the governments they deserve". The man of course was a Tyrant, and I am sure he knew a thing or two about deceit. Much like today's politicians.
>>p.s. What the hell is "bladderbla" anyway?<<
According to Webster's Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary:
Bladder: a membranous sac or organ serving as a receptacle for a fluid or gas, ........ # 5 an air-filled sac, usually to resemble a club used for beatings in low comedy, vaudeville, or the like. # 6 anything inflated, empty, or unsound: "to prick the bladder of one's foolish pride", "a great pompous bladder of a man".
Then I added the term bla, as in blah, blah, blah (I should have spelled it with the "h", but I didn't, in order to give a more "foreign" flavor).
The term would refer to a bag filled with gaseous "matter", this in itself is open to a wide interpretation...
In Klimpelean curve terms this same term would be I believe: "ya de ya de ya" or something along those lines.
In short, bladderbla = inflated bullshit. as it can be demonstrated by the above paragraphs.
