brightspot, brightspot, brightspot ... you poor fragile little flower, you. I had no idea. quote:
ORIGINAL: brightspot Oh so that's why you've been here this long with-out showing your's, must be pretty damn frightning. Oh come on now. Don't you get enough of my face on the billboards and the magazine pages? I wouldn't wish to impose. But seriously, why do keep insisting that I haven't posted my picture? If my avatar here isn't displaying for you, just hop over to the other side for a gander at my profile pic. I hope the artistic antique-ifying hasn't thrown you off. A great big girl like you shouldn't find my picture all that terrifying. quote:
"Noah" instead of being a mean-spirited jerk-off why don't you go build an Ark or do something constructive instead of spending most of your lonely moments here at CM, taking cheap shot's at other posters? Huggz, Missy. You say "jerk-off" like it's a bad thing. And now I'm lonely? Oh honey. If you only knew. If you only knew. I'm trying to give you the benefit of the doubt here, Missy, but the humor in these non-defensive responses of yours is getting subtler and subtler, I think. Well, except for the cunning way you turned that face joke around and actually used it against me, like the redirection of forces employed by the finest Judo master. I'll bet that was the reason you set yourself up for that one in the first place. ZING! GOT me! And that Ark bit, which was uproarious, of course; the element of surprise being so important in humor. Here's a little present for you. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joke#Psychology_of_jokes When you're done with that, and maybe after a couple of Midol-and-tonics, would you please look back to the post that seemed to get you all riled up in the first place? You asked a question which thousands of people on this site all seemed to think was just the perfect thing to ignore. I, on the other hand, took the time to craft an answer to it according to my view. I was very careful to explicitly endorse your view as well and even to explain with the hubcap metaphor exactly why I thought your view was just as valuable as mine, or the other posters', or the quotation author's, or anyone else's. Did you really not understand any of that? Or do you really hate it when people pay serious attention to your questions and endorse your point of view? Or, last guess, here: is it that the rules of the Willie G. Decides What We Like club require that you go absolutely fucking haywire when someone tries to have a little fun with you? HINT: there was a joke in that paragraph. Experienced riders (I've ridden for decades, including two seasons for money; toured my ass off; do all my own work, etc) kid with one another about brand loyalty. Honest, Missy. But it is a motorcyclist thing. I know that some Harley People just don't get motorcyclist things. Did you know, for instance, that your favorite apparel and lifestyle accessory company makes half-way decent bikes, too? In fact, did you know the U.S. Navy has just signed a contract for two hundred 2007 FXDWGs? Word. Check GoogleNews if you don't believe me. And no one in Congress is complaining because extensive research and real-world testing has proved that the Wide Glides outperform any of the anchors the Navy is currently using. So that's humor, Missy. Kidding around. For all I know you can ride rings around me all day long and that's fine. I wasn't attacking you. I was joking with you like I do with all the riders I know who don't have a gargantuan chip on their brastrap. And they kid right back, too, regardless of brand preference. Nobody drowns, nobody dies. Relax, okay? If I had been trying to eviscerate you, you would have known it, I think. Grown-ups can kid a little. They can dish it out and they can take it all with smiles on their courageous faces, because grownups aren't so feverishly insecure as to get their pants all up in their crack when some stranger on the internet makes a little joke. I'll take note of the extrordinary thinness of your skin and promise never again to treat you as an equal after today, but to instead coddle you oh-so-carefully ... if I'm ever tempted to respond to one of your questions again. I mean if that's what you'd like. Honestly, Missy. I treated your original question seriously, in a way that showed respect to the person asking, after which I made a little joke. Then when you went off on me I tried to give you the benefit of the doubt and keep it light. Your "When in doubt, take offense" policy might be worth a little critical review.
