Members Suckrates Posted May 24, 2013 Members Posted May 24, 2013 Christmas presents sometimes get a bad wrap and so do some rappers. Are we in the USA or some foreign country? I am not intending to cast aspersions at anyone but I do have some pet grammar peeves. One I heard this morning. The child was thrown out the back door of the car. I doubt the kid was in the back door but maybe was in the back seat and thrown out of it via the back door opening? I have many more of my personal wonderings but I shall leave you with only one more. More in less than 30 minutes. Should that not be more in fewer than 30 minutes? Sigh. Best regards, RA1 If you come online for Good Grammar, then you sure missed the boat. Yeah yeah, I meant rap, not wrap, but when you are trying to piece together a cohesive, meaningful and witty post, grammar sometimes takes a back seat.... Big Whoop. Just stick to watching porn and cruising for sex when you logon and stop the quest for Education or perfection of ANY kind ! Your life will be MUCH happier and less STRESSED Quote
Guest hitoallusa Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 I am actually in a foreign country right now. I can't type well on this small screen I use. I will try to be more alert from now on.. Quote

Best regards, RA1 Hmmm - you may be on shaky ground here. One of the meanings of 'door' is actually 'doorway'. Quote
Members RA1 Posted May 24, 2013 Members Posted May 24, 2013 You may be correct but I doubt that the perpetrator was referring to the doorway. I think she was meaning the back door of a car. I think we all understand but am I just being silly to think correct grammar is good? I completely agree that no one speaks or writes perfectly at all times but should we not try to do so. Now ain't we all sorry I even mentioned any of this? Best regards, RA1 Quote

Best regards, RA1 NO, because if it werent for Nit-picky people like you, people like ME wouldnt have anything to bitch and rant about on these websites. Quote
Members RA1 Posted May 24, 2013 Members Posted May 24, 2013 I aim to please and if I see any more nits I will try to pick them. Best regards, RA1 Quote
Guest lurkerspeaks Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Oh suckrates, I am sure you will always find SOMETHING to bitch and rant about Quote
Guest rimchair Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Back to the subject at hand, isn't great when escorts throw out excuses, it is nothing more than throwing out the victim card. And fall mightily... Quote
Members Suckrates Posted May 24, 2013 Members Posted May 24, 2013 Oh suckrates, I am sure you will always find SOMETHING to bitch and rant about As long as I keep getting Color commentary from you Lurker, ill continue to bitch and rant. I wanna make YOU happy. Quote
Members Suckrates Posted May 26, 2013 Members Posted May 26, 2013 how about this commentary: I would suggest you take that LONG vacation. You seem a bit peaked ! Quote
Members citylaw1 Posted May 26, 2013 Members Posted May 26, 2013 An awful lot of time is devoted to discussing another site here. It's like signing onto the Yankee site and receiving Red Sox updates. wayout, lookin and AdamSmith 3 Quote

Well, there are similarities in that they are BOTH escort related sites, and it makes for the most interesting verbal interchange... Any problem with THAT ??? Quote

Any problem with THAT ??? Just a bit odd in my opinion. BTW, the Yankees and Red Sox are BOTH baseball teams. This is not a "verbal interchange," unless I'm missing the live chat function. Any problem with THAT? Quote
AdamSmith Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 Well, there is a little bit of rejecting one restaurant for another, then spending the meal talking about how bad the first place was. citylaw1 and wayout 2 Quote
Members Suckrates Posted May 26, 2013 Members Posted May 26, 2013 Well, there is a little bit of rejecting one restaurant for another, then spending the meal talking about how bad the first place was. If people are talking, they are invested, and interested, and THATS the point... Until members introduce other topics that spur interest and passion, and garner the traffic that makes the site worth visiting, we should withold criticism.... Quote

Words are being exchanged on paper, although I do appreciate your putting your "faux" lawyer spin to it. Now I realize HOW MUCH I really missed you ! citylaw1 1 Quote
Members TampaYankee Posted May 26, 2013 Members Posted May 26, 2013 An awful lot of time is devoted to discussing another site here. It's like signing onto the Yankee site and receiving Red Sox updates. I have no problem at all. I simply do not read most posts about the other site as they do not interest me. Reminds of one my earlier posts at HooBoy's explaining to some who objected vehemently to his posting, that nobody strapped those guys into a chair, sewed their eyelids open and placed in front of them a computer monitor tuned to his forums, opened up on one of his posts. On the internet, I've never seen so many people complain of wet feet when all they had to do was step over a little puddle. citylaw1 1 Quote

TotallyOz Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 There are just way too many nasty comments in this thread. I am moving it to a more appropriate forum. Quote
Members Suckrates Posted May 26, 2013 Members Posted May 26, 2013 How does this comment advance the discussion or it is just intended to irritate another member? ActuallyTY it was a reply to a question he asked ME specifically. Wouldnt it have been RUDE of me to Ignore him ?? Sometimes, things do not benefit the Whole, but they make YOU feel extremely Good !

Guest epigonos Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 Suckrates I had the opportunity to meet TB socially at the Palm Springs Weekend this last March and I fully understand his attraction. In a social situation he is charming, articulate, attractive (if you like bodybuilder types), and an absolute delight, though a trifle hyper. Be assured that I am not excusing is faults for he, like all of the rest of us, definitely has some. The next time he visits my part of the country I will attempt to set up a get together being fully aware that it might not happen and that if it doesn’t my world will keep turning. Quote

Perhaps I missed the "paper" version of this site. I've been typing all these years. I bet Adam Smith has wonderful penmanship though. I always thought "verbal" was more akin to spoken communication. This forum, to me, represents more of a written exchange. A pretty simple example of a verbal interchange for you here - Imagine yourself riding the bus from Queens to Manhattan ( ) on a windy, rainy afternoon - you walk down the sticky aisle, make eye contact with a fellow passenger and ask "pardon me sir, is that seat taken?" "No sir, you are welcome to it." "Thank heavens, the rain caught be unaware today; it appears as though I absentmindedly left my umbrella at the sex den this weekend." "Sex den you say? What fun! I too enjoy a little romp in the dark; it keeps me away from all those overcharging hussies with inflated egos (wink) if you know what I mean?" This is one of many examples of a verbal interchange. It sure is nice to me missed. Quote
Members RA1 Posted May 27, 2013 Members Posted May 27, 2013 I thought this might be a version of the "windy story" in England. An English gentleman is walking down the street and observes a young lass whose skirt is blown up by the wind revealing that she is not wearing undergarments. The English gentleman says, a bit airy, isn't it? In a strong cockney accent she replies, what the 'ell did you expect, feathers? Best regards, RA1 AdamSmith and citylaw1 2 Quote
