Giraldi's Very Own Thread

RE: Giraldi

Rick I should not have made such a blanket statement, for I cannot speak for everybody else. I just can't take offense over something so obviously done in jest.

 

[Rick van Opbergen]

Haha you are taking this too seriously. :wink:

RE: Giraldi

Ha ha, ahhh, but you only THINK I am.

RE: Giraldi

:lol: That's what I love about boards, trying to figure if someone is serious or not. It's not always easy to see the humor or seriousness in someone's word, do you agree LadyC? :wink:

 

[Rick van Opbergen]

Good point Isengard. This is the Internet. I can claim that I am not serious, and Haggis can claim I just THINK that HE takes it too seriously, and I can claim I am confused, although I am not and do not think he's taking it seriously while he thinks I think he IS taking it too seriously.

Wot's all this then

Albatross!


A man in an ice cream girl's uniform is standing in a spotlight with an ice cream tray with an albatross on it.
MAN (loudly): Albatross! Albatross! Albatross!
PERSON (approaching): Two choc-ices, please.
MAN: I haven't got choc-ices. I only got albatross. Albatross!
PERSON: What flavour is it?
MAN: It's a bird, innit? It's a bloody sea bird... it's not any bloody flavour. Albatross!
PERSON: Do you get wafers with it?
MAN: 'Course you don't get bloody wafers with it! Albatross!
PERSON: How much is it?
MAN: Ninepence.
PERSON I'll have two, please.
MAN (loudly): Gannet on a stick!

I couldn't agree more with that!

Thing is, I don't really take it seriously because I feel it is all in fun except when it isn't at which point I take it very seriously but only in a fooling-around sort of way which is, from a Freudian sense of things, really taking it very seriously indeed but since I temper that seriousness with a sense of 'what the hell' and, in lighter moments, 'c'est la vie', I can be said to not take anything very seriously at all except when I am taking things seriously at which point you probably think, 'she is taking it seriously' while actuality recognizing that I am, in fact, not taking it seriously at all, at which point you feel resigned to the inevitable falseness of the Internet experience to which, I feel quite confident, we all take very seriously indeed. Except, of course, when we don't.

I just want to say Haggis ... I didn't know you were a she! :wink:

Well yes, I could tell that you did not know. It is irrelevant, so I did not waste precious keyboard strokes to correct you. It is a little-known fact that your keyboard is born with a finite number of strokes, and your brain is likewise limited as to the number of words you can say/type. Many people use 'em all up quickly, some hoard them. Regretfully, I am rarely in the latter.

 

[Rick van Opbergen]

:wink: Well I do have to admit that something in my brain always says someone is a he, except when I am told the person is a she. Can't help it

Okay, so how did you figure it out, then?

That'll do it everytime.

I am curious, how does the gender of the writer of a post affect your view of the thoughts contained therein?

 

[Rick van Opbergen]

Well Haggis, I found it out in one of your earlier posts:

... I can be said to not take anything very seriously at all except when I am taking things seriously at which point you probably think, 'she is taking it seriously' while actuality recognizing that I am, in fact, not taking it seriously at all, ...

:wink:

Well gender doesn't really make a difference to me, especially not on the Internet.

Whoa, you're good. Look out Sherlock Holmes Or Dr. Watson, perhaps?

Speaking of Sherlock Holmes, legend has it that Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson went on a camping trip. After a good meal and a bottle of wine they lay down for the night, and went to sleep.

Some hours later, Holmes awoke and nudged his faithful friend.

"Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see."

Watson replied, "I see millions and millions of stars."

"What does that tell you?"

Watson pondered for a moment.

"Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately quarter past three. Theologically, I can see that God is all powerful and that we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you?"

Holmes was silent for a minute, then spoke. "Watson, you dickhead. Some bastard stole our tent."
