Terminalcoffee discussion

1) You will be teased and tested. If you don't like being teased or tested, try making your first post a post in a thread about something. Talk about a book (not the one you're selling) or music or food. You may not get out of the hazing, but it may not go as badly.

2) We frown on bad grammar. Exceptions may be made, but you have to prove you know the rules first.

3) Your posts here are public. If you post something graphically personal, we will assume you are a troll, since most real humans would not post something graphically personal to a group of total strangers. Again, exceptions may be made.

4) We appreciate when comments are properly categorized.

5) Don't bother hanging out here if you are a troll or a spammer. Why would you want to hang out with people who don't want you around? Go elsewhere.

You should add that people here are nice and really funny which may or may not lead you to forget some of the things you need to know.

Regarding #6...

Yeah, listen to what she said, fuckers!

7) If you love discussing your sex life, your menstruation, your body effluvia, or anything else you suspect not everyone will want to hear about, we have a thread for that:

http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/3...

8) If you want to talk about coffee, books, a particular author (especially a classic author), the English language, or some type of food or cuisine, there is probably already a thread about it. Look for this thread before you start a new one.

9) ^ And she means it.

Yeehah!

Or, go to the "ask Heidi" thread and see if she can find a thread about said topic for you. This leads to zombie threads, which we love.

This is the mod hat of Sarah Pi.

Where is the LIKE button? :D

#12 If you want to talk about sports there are 2 threads out of 2987 for that. Please find them and use them only.

#13 If you want to say something nice about the mods you can do that on any thread. I suppose THEY would like that.

#14 If you have thin skin and find something offensive or hurtful use the 5 second rule (which is wait 1 full day + 5 seconds before you rifle something mean back. Two wrongs do NOT make a right.

#15 Our pets heads are falling off.

#16 This isn't the shit Al Gore had in mind when he dreamed up a network of talking computers that could send each other stuff over a bunch of invisible nets.

^^^ right, he was thinking more of people sharing long clips of people playing World Of Warcraft or foreign soccer highlights on YouTube

Or crazy cat women posting fucking cutesy clips of their cats - have I ever mentioned how much I hate them? - or aspiring Stevie Ray Vaughns demonstrating how to play "Pride and Joy" piss poorly or kids upchucking their Cheerios from their high chairs or morons uploading videos of themselves from their bedazzled iPhones.

Merry fucking Christmas...

That is totally my mod hat. But only the one on the right. I don't look good in pink.

You are forgiven. Even God has his foibles. How best to explain light beer or vegans?

I'm sorry, but there's just no excuse for light beer.

Or Roger Clinton's recording career.

or jessica going for a schmuck like roger rabbit

Or keytars. No one - absolutely NO ONE - has ever looked cool playing one of those.

Or aluminum baseball bats.

Or the game-misconduct fight instigator penalty in hockey.

You may as well just drink sparkling water. With your pinkie finger raised in the air, of course.

Of course.

Hmm. As a newbie I gotta ask: where's the hazing? So far you've all been awfully sweet and polite to me. Not that I particularly long to be harassed. Maybe you guys are nicer than you think?

Who ever wore an aluminum baseball hat?

*tries to imagine*

17) Those of us that go back a ways, and a few new ones who really clicked...well, we've got each other's backs 'round here. So, play nice. There is a difference between a debate and or discussion where you happen to disagree and being a mean, nasty, arse-face. If you attack one of us, you may find that you get all of us.

You must have good grammar/spelling/typing skills...

Like Susan? :) Worked out okay for her...once we decided she wasn't a troll after all. *snickers*

Wait. Susan's not a troll?

*pushes Lix behind the ficus before Susan clobbers 'im*

How do you pronounce "arse" anyway. Is it how it's spelled or is it "ass"?

Yes.

Ass is a donkey. Arse is your butt!

Ass is John Boehner.

Arse is... well, it's John Boehner.

Donkeyman.

I say it how it's spelled. Arse arse arsey arse arse!

Oh, I see you've met Mr. Boehner.

Hee hawlways calls me that.

Here is a good example:

If FeLarryix still thinks I am a troll, then he is being an ASS! :D

Does he know his arse from a hole in the ground?

Can he tell shit from shinola?

"Arse" doesn't slip off the tongue as easily as "ass."

English pronunciation - arse. Long aspirated a more like the a in water or arm"

PS for ENGLISH read the rest of the English speaking world. For AMERICAN read those wallies who have dared try, unsuccessfully, to correct the faults in the English language. (Nubes)

Further more. I pronounce the a in water more like the o in or. Where as the a in arse is pronounced like the a in are.

Fair enough, Gail. But by pronouncing the words for posterior and donkey differently, speakers of UK English miss out on some very amusing limericks.

Jonathan I couldn't send you a Chrissy card this year cause I lost your address.
