An excellent idea, Diver. I don't think Hubert understands that it ruins the fun to have him come here and present himself to us. Really, Hubert, you seem like a bright guy, take Diver's advice and earn your nomination like a true moron. Until then, you're just a thread jerk in my book. Oh, and a word to the wise: Asking Z to bite you (twice!) should be done on the "Singles Looking for Action" thread, if there is one. Poet.

Diver pronounced with much aquatic authority: "I'm just gonna jump in here..... Mr. Few: Acting like a moron is not the sole criteria for getting a TM nomination. Perhaps you should take your.....errr...what does your profile say?.... flithering and go to another thread and muster up some witty repartee that includes:" (end quote) Oh my! I have been shown the door! And a rather nice door it is too I might add...small puddles of discharged bile dotted with chunks of spam adorning it's threshold. onward-> (in regards to criteria of acceptance) 1) Pontificating hmmm, I will have to ponder the significance of that one and return with a more elaborate if ineffectual response 2) Ranting THERE IS TOO MUCH ACIDITY IN MY GOAT CHEESE THIS MORNING....I HAVE DECLARED GOATS ENEMIES OF THE STATE AND DECREE THEY ALL BE DECAPITATED, THEIR HEADS DISPLAYED ON MY FRONT LAWN WEARING "WIN" HATS LEFT OVER FROM THE FORD PRESIDENCY! 3) Bad financial information Now that you mention it....I have NEVER hyped a stock (today) 4) Rudeness w/out wit Like farting with your mouth full, that kind of thing? 5) Sucking people in so you can berate them Oh I get it, topical humor, Ala Clinton Lewdwenchsky. I am game, where are the blowjobs being dispensed???? 6) Minor league, grade school curse words w/out any sense of imagination. Well, using the word FUCK with no creative context is a clear violation of "Terms of Use" I would not recommend anyone do that! 7) Get a life No, no, no....it's get a REAL life, one with the trappings of success. In my case it is owning a home without wheels and awnings and TWO Hyundai Excels...both in running condition, thank you very much!!!! (hhhrumph, hhhrumph) (further quoting)"We will find you and nominate you accordingly. C'mon, we know you can do it." My good man....as the heir apparent to the VERY REASON for this thread's existence I DEMAND A VOTE!!!! Your good fortune is in fate landing itself on your doorstep, do you possess the CAJONES (see zoro for bi-lingual definition) to follow through???? "It's no fun if you just come here and act like a jerk." It isn't???? I have enjoyed myself tremendously and made my point in spades. I no sooner posted a totally incoherent post proclaiming the inhabitants of this folder MORONS, than the civic minded zoro took me to task in helping prove the point. If you are fishing for catfish, try chicken livers, if you want to be crowned "MORON FOR A DAY" lace your commentary with chickenshit, presumptuous, condescending remarks, and the locals will be proclaiming a miracle in the works and dancing around in their scivvies. "Though, it would be fun for you to go to the AZNT thread. It needs a little livening up......<g>. " Hmmmmm, I will consider it....but only if I find one or more statements proclaiming it "ON THE LAUNCHING PAD, THIS PUPPY IS GOING TO THE MOON". That particular statement clearly indicates the poster is an unemployed Soviet operative reflecting fondly on the Sputnik days. I am a truly patriotic individual (notice the "WIN" button, large caliber automatic weapons, and a NEW copy of Reader's Digest on my coffee table)and would consider it an honor....no, a GOD GIVEN RIGHT to defend my country and it's basically corrupt (if somewhat profitable) system of trading. I have enjoyed my stay here....there's a very good chance my posting privileges will be suspended for the pointless use of the word FUCK, twice now, with no sense of remorse, and some jack-booted lackey reporting the same to HeadMistress Jill, who although a great buddy, and generally a cool chick, will be "duty-bound" to have me slapped firmly on the wrist! Thanks Diver, your aquatic perspective is appreciated! Eat_MO_Pork....the other "white meat" being served up on the table of the oval office!

Thread Jerk - One who goes out of the way to try and proactively be a TM. Should be denied TM status on principal and merit. There is no need, one of the things I attempted to convey to our hero, was something it is often said in Spanish, that is (translated), as: If you are a parrot, wherever you go or are you will always be green, meaning (in this instance), our hero IS [ALREADY] A JERK, so no matter what he does he will always be a jerk, he can not change that. In a way, one may responds to an idiot like this, in hope that some brains cells may still be functioning therefore, one hopes that the person in question with the proper use of the brain plunger, his, (or her), brain can be primed into thinking. Once such attempt fails, well then there is nothing one can do and it is best to leave the person to his fate, at such point the ignore button is the only answer. You have defined the problem quite accurately. Do not forget, arguing with an idiot, is quite unproductive, I have said it before, it is like attempting to exchange ideas with a white washed wall, it is extremely boring, and one runs the very possibility of being taken as the idiot by he passers by.... There is no need to be upset by this god of the pimple gnats. Z. Being ignorant is not so much a shame as being unwilling to learn. ~ Benjamin Franklin ~
