Oh, great.

Now Nephy will want me to edit her from your Communist list. Damn you, Kevy!

Excuse me, but I am very unhappy with the classification I was given in the quoted message. I plan on lodging a complaint via official channels in the near future.

I thought we had more anarchists on the board.

You can complain all you want, girlie! I have proof that you're really a very liberal Bush-hater who collects naked pictures of Bill Clinton. It's SO not a lie, and I'll keep spreading it around, regardless of what you do. I'm so not scared of you! So there!!!

Me ? I'm an admin? The horror....

Oh, Oh...

Now I'm wondering if it was my technically accurate if somewhat deliberately out of context Nephy quote that started all this..... :blush:

Я буду пьяно к тому

I'm improbable?

That's unlikely.

Yes, but they continue to refuse to register themselves with the proper authorities to be identified as such.

I love that you guys make me laugh about this-

No- it's due to a submitted quote which was clearly submitted for no other reason than to mock me (however inaccurate the attempt) every time it pops up on the top of the screen. It is neither witty nor funny- and it only meant to cause hurt.

I wish to ask to have it removed- and wonder who to ask.

Just to remind you and everyone else - if you say it in public, it is quote-worthy. There are many quotes taken out of context which makes them not accurate but damn funny. My advice - don't take the quote function so seriously.

Hey Neph - at least someone quoted you. I'm not quotable or on the list of kewl people. Woe is me!

Just keep posting......

While I agree that there are a lot of submitted quotes where something is intentionally taken out of context to create humor, I think that is different than taking something out of context (or even just posting the exact quote) in an attempt to ridicule.

One is simple buffoonery the latter is dickish.

That doesn't mean the moderators should necessarily step in and do anything about it. But it is still dickish (however, I have no idea which quote Nephy is talking about so I don't know if I'd agree with her classification).

I'd like this one removed please. It hurts at the core of my being and goes against everything I stand for.

Thank you.




:evil: :p

I just skimmed through some of our quotes. We're funny.

If someone wanted to open a thread discussing the Quotes system, fine. Was it really necessary to open one to ask who to complain to about a particular quote, though? I think most of us are pretty aware of the Admin/Mod structure here at the LoT and it just strikes me as a wee bit unnecessary .


BTD- I'm sorry, but you'll have to live with the consequences of your irresponsible posting.;):p

I'm not a ****ing commie asshole.

You may be, but I'm not. I'm very serious.

Seriously funny.

Just for the record, I would like to state: I'm a buffoon, not dickish. At least in intent. Perception might be another matter. (Unless none of this applies to me in which case never mind.....)

Interesting, Moonie......most men are not so modest in estimating their dickishness.;)

I resent being in the Curmudgeons group with ISM. He is far more curmudgeony than I. He should be in his own ultra-curmudgeons group.

Who would do such an awful thing?

:evil:

You think I'm ever gonna let you forget you said that?

Must be a Monty Python day. Earlier, I was tempted to suggest that GD name his new bunny 'Dynamite'.:D

I thought it said "baffoon" first time I read it. I must be nuts.

Oh NO!!!!! Someone was RIDICULED!!!!!! On the INTERNET!!!!!!!!!!!

No. And at the time, in the context, it was accurate. I wanted that team to beat the team they were playing.

Which reminds me of this

Not knowing the quote in question, I find it hard to believe anyone would quote with the intent to harm you neph. Maybe poor judgement, but I doubt malicious intent.

I believe that I've even been quoted here saying things I've never come close to saying....like "Thanks to the miracle of science, I have the sphincter of a 20 year old.".

Makes me laugh, but i never said it. until now. And if it gets quoted, I suppose it's now legit. If I mention myself being misquoted or denying I said it does that mean I can be quoted as having said it if I reference the quote in question?

Mom says yes.:evil:

OMG, this made me laugh till tears came down my ruddy face

I aim to please.

When will you get over this brainwashing of your mom being right? All good girls become good teenagers whose mom's know nothing.

...Never. Oh really? Hmm, that is true....:evil:

Mom's are wrong, yes. Friends of the adult nature who post on the same message board are correct.

Don't listen to SCAEagles. He's of questionable character.:evil:

Says the (as classified by Kevy) malcontent.

I know one thing for sure- we'll be shopping at K-Mart for your fall wardrobe.:evil:

Now see, Tori, one little word of doubt and the dictator that is your mom threatens you with unending mockery from your friends. I think the time has come to realize who has your best interests at heart.

It's familiar to her, Scaeagles- she's lived most of her life under Republican rule.;):p

That sounds like something someone in a windowless minivan would say....

Consider this quoted (That'll learn ya)
You put the Dry in our Martini's, buster...

Apparently it'll learn me over and over as I've now been quoted with the same quote many many times. Be careful what you wish for and all that... :cool:

Done and done.

You're welcome!

I thought that was Mell Brooks, History of the World Part 1, not MP.

I can assert with authority, It is Monty Python. Not that other thing....

Oky Doky. I haven't seen Life of Brian in years. That is my fav MP movie.

I just went back to peruse quotes, and I'm trying to remember when the hell I would have said this:

Prior to the July 4th Beach Party perhaps?

Or, perhaps you were just quoting something Kevy said.

I don't remember either.

Niiiiice...

Though it was kind of fun being perplexed, too. :)

Are you saying you provide so much wood you can't remember when you promoise to?

I remember it from HotWP1 as well. I think it was in both.

I checked the IMDb Quotes page for it and I was UTL. That doesn't mean it WASN'T stated in HotWP1, just that it is not located on the IMDb.

I haven't seen the movie often enough to say yeah or nay.

I know you have problems in this area. Let me help you out.

It's nay.

Based on this, it sounds like the quote IS in the movie.

You need to check the chart I made for you.

But when one takes into account that you rarely known what you are talking about, it makes it difficult to discern whether the chart can be read as is, or of best viewed in a reverse-parallel universe.

Or the other beach party - the one where we were tossing salt dough into the ocean at sunset.

(And I have a sneaking suspicion I may be the one who quoted you, Erica... sounds like the sort of thing my juvenile gutter brain would latch onto ;))

You mean I can just peruse the quotes? Hmm, you learn something new everyday!

No- I was not sure who to ask. I am not aware of who is who-the list above was mostly news to me.

I wish it was so-


I also love the dismissal as if because it's a forum online it doesn't matter- as if we all do not know each other off line as well.

IIRC this happened to Nephy right after the quotes feature was introduced. I posted back then -- and still believe today -- that quoting someone with the intent to shame or mock is pretty un-swanky.

Really? Me? NA? €uro? Wendy? That's news to you? You could really think of no one to PM?

And still, no one's been informed of exactly what the offending quote is.

It was news to me, but yeah I would have PMed someone.

I'd never noticed (or have forgotten I'd previously noticed) that you're names are bold. And at the risk of speaking for her incorrectly, why would she have followed through with a request when she was told in this thread, essentially, to suck it?

This actually surprises me since I distinctly remember your name being in bold on MP and the mods' names being italicized (as they are here).

You never noticed that? I'm disappointed.

Perhaps not, but Neph has interacted with all 4 of those I mentioned in our capacities as administrators/moderators. She knows full well she could have contacted any of us via PM.

Anything we say here is able to be quoted. If it's quoted out of context, it's supposed to be funny. (There are plenty of quotes that I think aren't funny, or even interesting, but that's all subjective.) If you're not willing to be quoted out of context, don't say anything.

Ok, so here are the quotes that cite Neph:

Hmm, from those, I'd guess it's the "I am pretty liberal" one (unless you have a serious problem with being seen as agreeing with JW). Soooo, you're saying the horribly offensive quote that you want taken down is the one saying you're pretty liberal.....which we all know is a joke and would never, ever believe to be true....and we're not supposed to be offended that you are so terribly offended by that joke? Plenty of us have been quoted out of context in saying things that are obviously not true or have a twisted meaning.

Seriously, if you can't take the joke...why do you enjoy visiting a place like this? I am totally mystified. :confused:

No- didn't cross my mind.

Look- no malice was intended- it was a simple question.

Heh-yeah, that.

..and I said I did not think of it.

You guys can try and see some intent that was not there- but it is just what it is.


It was not something I said-and it was not a joke.

I am also not offended, I am bothered that someone would choose a quote for no apparant reason other than to take a shot at someone-however oblique- it was clear to me.

I will send a PM- I will choose one who I think will look at it on an unbiased basis.

My first thought upon reading Alex's comment.


Nephytys is very much aware who the Admins and mods are around here- to claim otherwise is ludicrous and (with a quick search of past mod/Admin actions and PM's) fairly easy to prove. Again, it just struck me as an attention/stirring sort of post, but I could be wrong. Looking at CP's list, I think Neph's quotes are pretty funny and definitely quote worthy- which one was the offending item?

Most Mod and Admin decisions are discussed with all Mods and Admins, so choosing one to sent a PM to is all well and good, but a decision for actions or lack thereof will likely be made by consensus.

Yeah, and someone quoted me, too, fap fap fap. I remember the thread, I remember asking what that was, so I'm quoted out of context. It's still funny, even out of context.

After this thread was started and I wnet and looked at the quotes by Nephy and assumed the offending quote had been taken down already. Oh well, I see nothing there to get your knickers in a twist about. Far worse things have been said in any number of the political threads that are quote-worthy and not so nice by any number of people on LoT. Oh well, I'm sorry, I don't get what is malicious about anything quoted in CP's list.

Hot Dog! I'm off the hook. The "I am pretty liberal" quote I submitted is a direct Nephy quote. :)

If I can live with the Go Sharks comment (which was taken completely out of context), if Leo can live with the suggestion that he and MBC hook up on a regular basis, or he drives a windowless van...

No one actually thinks what I said is true, no one here thinks you're liberal.

You would also probably be surprised at how unbiased we can be when arriving at a decision, Neph. Most actions are carefully thought out and any personal likes or dislikes are not part of the equation. Except KB's posts, of course. We all tend to agree with regards to those.;)

If that was the case here, I would fully agree, however, it's not the case. Shaming may be unswanky but we have many a quote that is complete mockery - done with a wink of course. Thank GOD most of us have a great sense of humor and can laugh at our failings.

And, I think people need to remember that what you post on a message board is PUBLIC. Once it gets posted it is out of your control.

Ever had an off day- maybe a day where something did NOT occur to you?

I will contact you guys by PM now that I have the list- feel free to remove this thread if you like.

I'm always careful review each message before I post it to look for potential embarrassing quotes. It's my thing, small as it might be, to be careful about what I post so no one can take any part of my message out of context.

I would tend to agree-like I said, I will write it up and send it on in.

It was not something I said- but something said as an oblique insult to me- and then someone else posted it as a quote so it would continue to pop up.

TTYS about it I am sure. :)

Too bad there's no way to hyperlink the quotes in Quotes so it sends you to the thread it corresponds to. That would be swanky.
:)

Try again :p

The fact that this can't be done is a source of grievous frustration to me.

Heh- looking at the list I can say I knew GD, Euro and NA were admins and WB was a mod-

The others I had no idea about- and was not sure who took care of what- so I asked. Now I know you all do it “together” so to speak- and won’t forget.

If this was supposed to be a shyt stirrer I would have made it a clearly public fuss- I did not. The difference is fairly clear I would think-

Thanks

I believe it is true. The whole "Go Ducks" thing is just a cover-up.

People actually read what I post? I just thought the whole of LoT had me on ignore.

One of the joys of cyberspace is living with what one writes.

That, and we generally don't remove threads. Heck, we very rarely close them! You say it, you own it.

What!! Grrrrr....

Ok, perhaps I let one slip in the backdoor that time, but you can be damn sure I'll have my guard up from now on! :p

You know what? You're right. I spend a ton of money on season tickets and merchandise, arrange my life 8.5 months out of the year for a team that I despise just so I can live in denial about the team I really love. :p

Hmmm. Quotable or not? ;)

I know you're doing this on purpose... But it's so entertaining!

He's throwing you guys softball pitches.

According to the last quote he's a catcher.

Using CP's list, I found all of the quote sources. Not one of the quotes was said by anyone other than Nephy.

From here.

From here.


From here. (And why was that thread closed?)

From here.

From here. Although this was taken slightly out of context, I find it funny. Technically, the person didn't quote this properly as a period was added after "liberal". Technically, ellipsis should have been used.

The discussion was about the Transformers movie and the entire quote was
Further, the quote was added by Moonliner. I can hardly believe that Moonie meant any maliciousness by the add.

From here.

But she said it wasn't something *she* said - didn't she? It was something someone said about her???

See, I KNEW it!

Kevy, can you do this for all of the quotes on the Quotes pages? Thanks!
:D

Ooooops. I also submitted the ML's small thing to quotes before realizing that BTD beat me to it.

Oh well, now it had double the chance of popping up on the main page. :evil:

Yeah, looking at Nephy's quotes won't get you there. If I understand correctly, it was something someone said in regards to her, and someone else quoted. So, basically, Nephy, the quoter, and the quotee are the only people likely to recognize it, and Nephy and the quoter are likely the only people to know what it means when it comes up. I see her point, but using a public forum to ask that it be fixed is a sure way to get us all talking about it.

Now hold on a second there bucko! Are you implying that I can't be a first rate son of a bitch? Because rest assured I can. If I'm riled up then I can be hard on your or anyone else's ass for as long as it takes.

I just went through all FORTY-FIVE pages of quotes and only found two that mention Nephy by name:

This quoteThis quoteSomething tells me that these are not the offending quotes.

Sure! Here ya go!

You're so cute when you pretend to be all mad and stuff.

I think GD was just snarky with me! :D
(but he mojo'd me at the same time)


Ur doing it wrong!

~

Fer goodness....

I meant move it to another forum-I don't care if the thread persists.

Which is now legal in California.

See, guys who type or say "bucko" can't ever be first rate sons of bitches. Second or third maybe.

:D

Yeah? Well bite me Cricket boy!


(There, is that better?)

Dear Nephy,

The only thing I can add to this huge storm in a teacup (apart from the inclusion of an Animal category Kevy Baby you $hithead) is that you may have given the person that upset you the satisfaction of knowing that they have.

The PM route was the one to use, but I understand that when folks get offended, they don't always see all of the options...and from that perspective, it has been a useful observation.

Love and hugs,

The Stoat XXX (of the category Animal).

PS// No-one ever need worry about me quoting them, because some technical problem with the board's software (or similar) prevents me from doing so...and yes, I have reported it.

Heh, I'm finding this thread to be very quotable......sorry moonie, I could not resist it!

That's more like it!

Cool beans! I'm a real badass now.

Thanks.

No. See? You blew it again...

:D

He blew you again?

I would have thought this was the first time.

Damn, Moonliner really gets around!

Can't we all just get back to ragging on Nephy? That's more fun.

Can't we all just stay on ragging on Moonie? That's more fun.

If you two keep ragging on each other, I'm gonna toss you a box of Stayfree.

A man so wrote this ad copy ...
 

Click this, double dare ya.

Life can be unpredictable and sometimes you just have to roll with it. Put your skills to the test-zip along the track collecting tokens, but watch out for obstacles like cramps and bloating.

there's just no possible reason for that!

Well if nothing else, at least this thread will assure that Nephy's offending quote shows up a lot less often.

Except that men are clueless. Always.

I can only score 340, because the cramps kill me everytime! :(

I just hope that roller coaster does not have a splash-down ending like the Matterhorn...
;) :D

If your periods are as easy as that game, I don't see what all the fuss is about.

I have half a mind to delete the last 3 hours' worth of quotes on principle. Quote baiting, it's just kinda sad really.

Losers.

Sometimes, it is just too easy.

.

You ain't got the guts to do that. Go ahead! I dare you.

Once again, nobody's quoting me....

Great. Now shove a tampon up your ass and get back to work.

...but doesn't anyone like pancakes ? :cakes:

Sure.

Neph, I am very disappointed in you. In the title of this thread, you should have used "whom" instead of "who" and ended it in a question mark, not a hyphen. That's something a liberal crackpot (please forgive the redundancy) would do! tsk tsk tsk

;)

Wally Szczerbiak is old and ugly.

Pffft. Pot? Kettle? Avatar? Black? ;)

oh noes-:p

Nephy you need to stick a tongue coming out of your candle picture, it looks JUST like the emote-y cat!

I do not have Reagan in my avatar because I think he's hot.

I not clever enough to know how-

Oh like I'm gonna trust a male "breeder" (as if we didn't know he lives on the cured porcine down low) to appreciate the supreme, radiant, glorious beauty of Wally...!

But nonetheless scaeagles, you will be sent to the Danube at dawn for besmirching my beloved!

Then why do you have him as your avatar? I thought you were lusting after an old dead guy.

I tried that with MBC but it just didn't do anything for me.

So you want an old dead guy as POTUS?

Lewis Black does. He says we prop up Ronald Reagan's coffin for a swearing in and no rogue nation or terrorist organization will mess with us, they'll be that afraid of our serious crazy.

A dead guy would be an improvement over what we've got.

Post what you are talking about and I will see what I can do.

I know its her avatar - what is the smiley that you are talking about look like?

Maybe this? :p

This isn't what you are looking for (neither are the droids), but I found this amusing:

it's blank.

Pisser

Here is the link: http://www.lovespeaks.net/images/ani...out-tongue.gif

I can see the kitty...

5240... only took me like 5 attempts to complete. Who'd have thought a game involving sanitary napkins could be so momentarily addicting?

Or either candidate running this time.

So, now Moonie can start a thread asking who he should contact to get this offending quote about him off the quotes page. However, the answer in his case is NOBODY! :p

But you have to admit I've got a case.

I've got at least seven offending quotes and that's just so far today.

I was able to capture the real quote before he edited it.

You said it, and for once I couldn't agree more.

I got a case of Herpes once.... It wasn't as good as the case of Sangiovese I got the month before....

On that, we can agree.

Is this what you were thinking? Or does it need eyes?

It's the Emoti-candle !!

...needs eyes.

If it makes you feel any better, I don't even see the quotes. You can collapse the field so that it doesn't appear on the main page.

4990 points after about a zillion attempts.... :rolleyes:

Bear...Bear!!!

I know you like rollercoasters, but playing that game is just insanitary!!

Love and hugs,

The Stoat XXX

I'll work on that tonight. Last night was mostly spent learning how to make an animated GIF (and I am still not sure what I did).

Insanitary - I get it...

Dear Key Baby,

Since I'm heavily into 2D & 3D imaging, I've used a truckload of different software, but for making animated GIFs, the ULead Gif Animator is by far and away the one for the job. One particularly handy feature is 'Optimise' which allows you to interactivley reduce the colour palette to fit the finished series into a Kb budget - so my Avatar was compressed to 32k, which is the LoT limit.

A trial version can be found here http://www.tucows.com/preview/194832 , but quite often ULead provide older versions for free, or supply them on CDs stuck to magazines like PC Format etc (in fact I will scrounge around and see if I can find one to send to you).

Love and hugs,

The Stoat (as in Animal Category).

PS/ Sorry for being off-topic here, but I figure this thread will sleep soon.

The Tucows site is not cooperating at the moment. I shall check later.

But it is very rare that I need to make an animated GIF, so I will probably stick with ImageReady for now. I have it and I understand the basics.
