Lame Q&a

[HopefulBride]

yeah I wiki'ed it and I must say it doesn't look that ugly...

[Aya Sophia]

Ugly is as ugly sees (or whatever). Ok, gold star goes to ardillacid's consoling yet practical suggestion. Only concern is, if I mention this option to my brother - "dad" who happens to be a master brewer and knows all about fermentation - and he likes the idea? Won't this trigger a fresh demand for paw paws? Won't they then start weebly wobbling by the cartload in the door (and if you know paw paws, you know a whole lot goes a little way.)

Then there's the adjunct ques to Lame Ques #1 but it's only rhetorical: am I really spending time on this lameness? And how is it adding to my store of treasure in heaven?

[Aya Sophia]

[b]NUNSENSE,[/b] [b]Lame Q&A is intended for any lamer to post any lame question with the eager expectation of receiving only completely lame answers from equally lame lamers[/b]

How about the following thread rules:
- number your questions
- one ques at a time (all eager beaver lame boarders therefore to excercise the great VIRTUE OF PATIENCE)
- next ques posted only once current question is played out
- "played out" is rather subective but look for signs that the attractive lameness associated with ques is rapidly evaporating at which point anyone can post the beating Dead-Horse emoticon to officially close the ques. Ques#1, for ex., is (pun intended) overripe, in my estimation for the DH emot)
- then on to next Lame Ques, #whatever
- with the above rules I may just have killed any desire anyone had to carry on with this thread

Again - how is this adding to my treasure in heaven? (an informal, non-lame rhetorical question - please do not answer)

All I can see in my mind is a paw-paw version of this:

Lame Question #2: (Background information: I do not own or use a cell phone. Many people try to convince me to get one.)

Why do people, when they try to convince me to get a cell phone, tell me all the terrible things that have happened to theirs?

I dropped it in the toilet, I sat on it and and broke the screen, I never get a moment's peace because my amndayed phone keeps ringing, I ran up a huge bill calling people out of program (or over my max), I lost three days' worth of e-mail, the battery died and all my programmed numbers disappeared, my kid lost his, somebody stole mine and it has all sorts of personal information on it, I was so embarassed when it rang in the middle of church/business meeting/class/my labor & delivery, and forty-a-dozen other tales of woe.

And you want me to PAY for one of these? Why? So I can be miserable, too, or what?

cell phones have their uses but one can live without them

weight the pros and cons and see if makes sense or not for your situation

On balance I would miss mine

I don't get many calls on mine, but today I used it as a clock and a calculator! So it's handy.

Can't you see, Luigi, how much more interesting these cell phone users' lives are and how much more they have to talk about? This alone should be reason enough for you to "get with the program"!

Mine is an ancient clamshell, perhaps 8 years old; has been dropped countless times and is now taped up to keep the battery in the back from falling out; in order to make the front display light up you have to open and close the phone; once lighted, you see the front display is losing video - bright flourescant orange squiglies are gradually invading my photograph of a lovely stormy day on the beach outside Barcelona; etc.

There, now you see? Wasn't that interesting?

Very interesting, indeed. And you make my point for me - you want me to PAY to open-&-close, orange squigglies, taped batteries, and losing video? Methinketh my life might be interesting enough already.
