I was just mentioning something I'd noticed. No picking. His comment was directed at me, and I found it rude. Oh well. Onward.

You should have learned by now that when you take a swing in Pete's direction, he's liable to come back with anything. Take your chances and be prepared, I say.

I believe it was an attempt at mildly 'sarcastic humour' Ronald and so I applaud the effort with excessive vigour so that you hear my one hand clapping over the pond in Waverley, NY, US. Humour cuts across our confining mental categories, the same as creativity and, dare I say it, genius. It must therefore be encouraged. Lack of humour demonstrates the polar to genius and so must be challenged. Everyone has a tickle muscle tho' some choose to keep it well hidden, like a childhood trauma or a hairy arse. All can craic. Let's do it more son, before we die ;-)a

Nah, he's mad at me. He told me to keep something a secret, and in a way, I didn't. Not completely, anyway.

That's how I know he wasn't kidding. ;-)a It wasn't a big thing...he just innocently tricked everyone for a while (probably not the mods). He didn't do anything that most people don't do on a daily basis- pretend to be someone they're not.

Man that was never a 'secret' secret AFAIC. Anyone with initiative and an Eagle eye for language would have spotted that minor 'intrusion' and right away ignored it as irrelevant.

It wasn't a secret, but he didn't make it known, either. Like I said...no big thing.

Apologies accepted. No problem :-)

Don't worry, I'm sure he's forgotten that 'intrusion' too, especially as it has proven a precurser to a host of sordid imitator threads that are best 'avoided' :rolleyes:

Wait one minute. Hold everything. Heavens to Murgatroid.

Pet-Kal was using a nom de plume? Ronald, you got to pm me about these things. One look at my moniker will tell everyone around here that I'm too dumb to realize that and I need to know.

I hereby demand, with the lack of power vested in me, that Pet's status be restored; that his post count be revived, recounted, replaced, kind of like one of those hanging chads in the election in Florida.

Pet, nice birdy shots. But anyone could have taken those, especially with the kit lens you gave a dose of viagra to. :)

the Dolt who is demanding a name change too and an automatic bonus of 5,000 posts.:lol:

If it wasn't a secret, then why is it being kept a secret?
And before you make a comment, I have initiative and and eagle eye... ;)

He only wanted certain people to know, I guess.

Not Eagle eyed enough it seems ;) More like SEagull eye me thinks.

It's not a secret anyway :rolleyes: Is my not telling you what I had for breeakfast just now a secret? Of course not. It's just irrelevant stuff. I fancy he was taking Ronald to his bosom, like any father would when he see's his child suffering and he wants to make him feel special :D
