Actually, we must stay focused on Curmudgeonly hunting for Gorillas and Kings When anyone proposes a gorilla, shouldn't our stock response be, "Nah, that's no gorilla. Go read the f#%$^&*g manual and leave us alone". We could just copy and paste it. Would save us a lot of time. (I guess it's evident by this humor that I'm still channeling Mike Buckley... valuations, dammit!)

DS, Speaking of and in regard to: << we must stay focused on Curmudgeonly hunting for Gorillas and Kings >> It would seem to me that responses to serious questions on the G&K thread when queried to vote on "Put some Pressure on Pongids and Princesses..." like: << CNN is talking bad about cell phones. Results of rat tests were not good-memory loss and brain disease. >> or << Excuse me, I've been in a coma for the past few weeks .... could we please discuss options more extensively on this board? Any women out there have a problem with this? In fact, let's have a vote as to whether we should even have women on this board! >> << The whole problem could be solved if they'd just make those furry little bastards wear headsets. >> ... are sort Curmudgeonous so perhaps we should talk about them here rather than there. ... and OBTW: << I gotta do that NTAP Gorilla nomination report that UnQ assigned me! >> Its about time. I have been waiting on that for how many weeks now and what has it cost me to hold EMC instead of NTAP, or EMC without holding equal NTAP? Will you post the Curmudgeon version here first before you edit and clean up for the "Other" thread? All of my friends and I voted about the "Practicing" thread and decided I am a Curmudgeon and don't need to practice. The vote was 1-0. Damned my Spell Checker went SOUTH (GPF), it choked on all these new Curmudgeon words. - Eric -
