Marie-Therese Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 [quote name='Hassan' date='19 June 2010 - 08:42 PM' timestamp='1276994521' post='2131623'] I know when you sent the message. However, as often happens to great Sultans, I confused May with March and forgot about May entirely. My sense of time is off. Probably because I must work without ceasing to expand the borders of my Sultanate, which makes time all blur together, and because I am absent minded about such petty matters as your silly mortal calendar systems because I must always focus on greater matters. Your silly date systems do not interest me I don't really care. I've meant this as an ongoing joke. I'm not really dejected and anxious about when I may or may not get cookies. I'm touched that you would send them, but as they say 'it's the thought that counts'. Even that literature selection was deliberate and tongue-in-cheek. Pechorin thinks up his sob story to touch the heart of the haughty Princess Mary. He's detached and superfluous. You mocked me by offering me cookies. Floating their possibility out there, and then constantly snatching them away. As though you can condition me to behavior like Pavlov's dog. I reject your nihilistic and behaviorist worldview and stand defiantly by demanding respect for human dignity which rejects your mechanistic view of human nature and manipulative use of cookies. In all seriousness. I would love cookies at some point, if for no other reason than to shut-up MIKolbe's gloating, but don't want any now. I don't live at that address anymore (I'm at my family's home until the fall semester) and really did have an awful diet during summer school and the end of Spring semester and really am forcing myself to live a pretty healthy lifestyle (healthy food, regular visits to the gym, sleeping every night, (almost) no alcohol, and a pot of tea every day) until school starts back up. Once I've eased up I'd love some cookies, but not for a little bit please. Since I do appreciate the kindness behind them, I would hate to have to give them away because they came when I wasn't allowing myself sweets. [/quote] 1. I love you too. 2. Let me know when to send them and to where, and I promise as soon as your diet permits you will have tasty cookies. I give my word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] An astute observation. You deserve a cookie. [quote name='Marie-Therese' date='19 June 2010 - 12:04 AM' timestamp='1276920285' post='2131225'] Since Lil Red and myself are the reigning Ginger Queens of Phatmass, I hereby declare Hassan a material heretic and thus duly suspend his cookie privilege (which is sad, since I had the perfect recipe picked out) and it will remain suspended until further notice. Btw, no one has a right NOT to be offended. However, I do have the right to slam the banhammer on cookie shipments. Something to ponder, whilst listing all the laments of the anti-PC crowd.
