Testing...Testing...1...2...3
I need to conduct an experiment and you all are my guinea pigs.
Last week I published an original article but published it as a blog. As I found out, blogs don't get published in groups. So I wanted to see if I could publish and original article (such as this) in as a group discussion.
The reason I got confused about where to publish original work is because down below I'm looking at a long block that has "Seed URL" to the left of it. Original works don't have URLs.
So....talk amongst yourselves. And if one or two of you could post something that you don't mind being flagged, that would be helpful.
I found out I couldn't moderate my own blog last week. My "funny" article was supposed to go in SiNNERS and ButtHeads but that didn't happen because I don't follow instructions very well.
This I should be able to moderate. Some body tell me my dog is funny looking so someone else can flag it and I can see if my experiment works.
Thanks!
reading the instructions for anything is unamerican.
Having instructions in Spanish is American.
Look at that face! I'm gonna eat him up!
IKR!! That pup is too cute to be labeled "seriously ugly"
My cat, Stubby, was not a pretty kitten. Most kittens are very pretty. They're all cute, but he was homely. He was my daughter's cat til she left him to go to school (how dare she!) and became my BFF.
Anyway, when he was a kitten he had very short legs, tail, and neck. You could say they were "stubby". That's how he went from being called Frisky to Stubby. One day I looked down at this homely kitten and remarked how he was the stubbiest cat I ever saw. He's got stubby lil legs, a stubby lil neck and a stubby lil tail. That's it! I'm calling you Stubby!
He's a spotted Tabby but as a kitten his stripes had no rhyme or reason, he spots on top of stripes and stripes on top of spots. I told my daughter that he was a homely lil kitten and she scooped him up, hugged him to her chest and said "Don't listen to Mom! I love you and I think you're bootiful!"
Sounds like our Wally.
Wally is a snowshoe. When they are born, they are born white. But as they get older, they get their color (called pointing). In that in between stage, he looked like a cancer kitty, so we called him that. Here he is asleep on Matt's chest.
And this is him now
They are such beautiful cats and Wally is an exceptional handsome fellow
Why do I have a feeling that Wally could kick my ass and steal my cigar before I even knew it happened?
Sister,
Wally is a lover not a fighter. In fact, he is a total moosh. You can do anything to him and he loves the attention.
Now my mom's cat.. that is a whole different story.....
Wally is awesome! Love that cat!
Hey, there little Minnow...this is my article!
Let's talk kitties!
Your Auntie wears combat boots. Go ahead and flag me, baby.
LOL!
She didn't, but I did
Well that's a good thing. It was your Auntie I was insulting.
Now that I think about it, that's not an insult to women anymore. I'm pretty sure you wore boots of the Air Force persuasion, didn't you? So did my Dad.
BTW, thank you for your service.
Yes, Air Force and now my son is walking in both mine and his dad's boots.
And thanks
I hope there's room for me under that umbrella.
She gets territorial about those umbrellas. She always says she "may" need them for her cats.
Always room under that umbrella for my friends!
Flaggable for "off topic". I will be going to sleep in 5 minutes.
Flagged, lol
I'M OFF TOPIC? I'M OFF TOPIC?
Listen up, Mr. Hand.... remember who's the Queen here.
Ooooo.....ya know.....I have group moderator powers in here.
You be careful with the Queen, young Roe
I was the best broom user in my father's factory when I was a kid, so they called me General Sweeper (or was it General Sleeper?)
Wait a sec - maybe they just said I was generally sleeping.
My last 2 cats have been tuxedo tabbies. gray/white with identical markings, unrelated. the male made the ex jealous, was a good hunter but always got his ass kicked at night. I became a pretty good amateur vet treating cat bite abscesses. the female was as friendly to me as an indifferent trophy wife and kept me busy apologizing to neighbors for beating the shit out of their little foo foo dogs and piercing their ears. she was the original bitch kitty and only paid attention to me when she was hungry.
Never took you for a cat person. Where are the pics of your kitties?
I once had a very long haired kitty who was lazy about "maintainence" and hated brushing so the vet shaved her from ears to tail.
When we brought her home and she saw herself in a mirror, she hid under a bed for 2 weeks.
It happened once more before she learned to bring us the brush...
Poor kitty. Stubby is obsessive about his cleaning
I like cats more than dogs. They're not as needy. The ex destroyed all the pictures of the male cat. I only have one picture of the female and who knows where the hell that one could be. I like to give cats human names that they would never pick for themselves in order to establish my dominant position on the evolutionary ladder. If you don't do that, they attempt a coup later on in their evil kitty minds.
I think you need a new cat and better ex. She sounds mean.
Aww. Your ex was a mean girl.
I like cats more than dogs only because cats are funnier.
Funny story. We had a dog named Penny that we gave to a family that had 2 beagles. Penny had a nervous breakdown or something at our house because she ran under the bed and stayed there for 2 days and would only come out to eat. She started doing her business in the house so we asked this family to take her. Anyway....
Last week, Mr Giggles went to a party at their house. Penny came out and greeted him like she had missed him and stuff. She went back in teh house and then when the rest of the guests arrived, she greeted them the same way she greeted Mr G. Funny! He was feeling all loved and special until then.
Is the female cat the one you were talking about earlier that you lost?
you mean in HD?
yeah
no, I was being sarcastic and mocking my latest fan club member. you know, I'm in the middle, but not really, boo hoo feel sorry for me bullshit. sometimes I seem to attract the mentally unstable.
Well, I'm glad Kitty didn't go missing but I know what you mean. I'm getting tired of the "I sit on the fence but will jump down on the right side because I like the people there better."
I fukn hate myself for not going for the jugular immediately on that not so dainty antebellum flower.
I use to get that same bullshit in high school. They'd get all indignant with me around their peer group and then offer to give me english riding lessons that weekend at the drive in when they were all shitfaced. wtf?
English riding lessons? Is that an euphemism for something?
Wow....I lived a very sheltered life when I was young. I still do, I think
bouncing in the saddle rhythmically while directing the steed with thighs and knees.
this whole Kavanaugh story has brought back memories of some very non-traumatic high school experiences for me. maybe 2 dozen males with shoulder length hair in a school of 2200+ in a working class community in the way early 70's. I was a victim of circumstances. I had no time for homework jr or sr year. after 48 years I still think about Dianne picking me up in her daddies caddy since I wasn't old enough to drive. the look on my mothers face as we drove away is still permanently etched in my mind. she knew what was going to happen to me before I did.
don't you mean heifers to tip there tex?
Got it.
I graduated hs in 1980. I didn't go to parties, I didn't drink (much), smoke marijuana or cigarettes. I didn't even go out!
reminds me of that f'n unibrow AD at the last place.
'65 VW backseat one time
Your ex joined eHarmony!!!
Better than on the beach. Looks romantic but it's the most horrible experience ever. Never take a virgin to the beach to "set the mood". She'll never have sex again and join a nunnery.
Puritan indeed.
Flag this for taunting, bullying.
My dad's '52 Hudson Hornet in my case.
Are you kidding? It's a desirable invitation.
I never realized until now what a comedian you are. Now how can I take your comments seriously?
You won't have to. I now avoid seeds that I get flagged on when I display my sense of humor.
And sand really screws up the action.
You don't do it in the backseat of a Pinto. Pintos have a hatch
We need a flag for things that make me pee my pants
He's an acquired taste, but once you acquire it, you don't want to get rid of it.
That makes it much easier to shovel in all the sand.
My father made that mistake. He threw a salt shaker at my Siamese cat. That night, my cat pissed on my fathers police issue weapon, melted the blue off of it.
Years ago I saw 4 legs hanging out the hatch of a Pinto that was parked up on a mountain road
See?
I had a tuxedo domestic shorthair that was my buddy for 17 years - you can see him on my article about him on the Cat Adorers group.
it's working.
Is this thing on?
Only if you twist the end. Then enjoy.
YES! I would say more, but I get flagged for just about everything, so I can say no more.
This is Sinners and Butt heads....I've disable the flagging mechanism
no...I haven't but it's a nice fantasy
I'm boycotting the flaggot seeds.
True, flagging cannot be disabled but since this is your group the flags all stay within this group (unless somebody does something really egregious). So, in effect, SINners and ButtHeads is as flaggy as it wishes to be (or not) as long as the CoC is not trashed.
The CoC will not be trashed. I'm crossing my fingers over the TOC
I'm wasted and I can't find my way home...
TOMORROW, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4 ... It's national taco day!! Badfish, gitcher ass to Torchy's. If you're in Dallas, go to Velvet Taco just cuz I like the name. And I'm going to talk my sweetheart into taking me to Fuzzy's Tacos.
Flag this for no value, unless they're selling tacos for a buck for National Taco Day. Then flag it for crude, lewd and semi-nude.
There used to be a Pink Taco at the Hard Rock in Vegas. Don't know if it's still in there. It wasn't bad.
You're naughty. Let us give thanks.
oops, my bad. It was the name of a Mexican restaurant there. Your mind is in the gutter. Have your torso join me there.
You got something against Sister Mary Anges' face?
There's valid reason why I have difficulty putting names to some faces.
Bloody Marys and Tacos....what I call an "explosive" combination
Margaritas or Mohitos
Coronas and quesadillas
Is it dorky to admit how much I've missed this kind of banter? Yeah? Well, fuck you. I've missed it, so get over yourdamnselves.
The fighting over the SCOTUS thing is getting on my nerves. Maybe it's time to resurrect my sex article
phhffffttttt to them
I don't know if you were present on News Vine then, but a few years back I did an article on Euphemisms for Sex. It got over 1000 comments and caused much fainting and clutching of pearls
But it was a helluva lot of fun
Bring it on! Sounds like a blast!
It's up!
I sent out a group email to everyone in S & B because I didn't want to promote it to the front page....for now
Only if Perrie says it's ok. I don't want to go against the TOC
Perrie says sounds like fun!
Cool! I'm promoting to front page!
Thanks, Perrie!
The innuendo article was classic too.
I was just thinking about that one this morning...while I was in the shower. Cobalt had tons of fun with that one.
And if I remember right, that was written by one of the uptight pearl clutchers and we ran with it
I remember that. I actually thought it was clever to get a discussion going, especially to either mock the spam or whatever.
I did see the group's point tho because some of the members spent a lot of time reporting spam and trying to get rid of it.
I too participated in making throw away comments on spam articles that slipped thru the cracks.
That article ran for days and if I remember correctly, the teabag princess that wrote it left and had to come back with a different screen name. I would have gotten a dozen or so tickets on that article had it been posted on NT. I ran with my "does your dog like peanut butter" joke for months.
As a young tadpole, I cut my teeth, by reporting spam every morning.
What better way to get on a first name basis with Sally & Tyler, lol.
In the past, a few of us would get one going here, and it always resulted in some hilarious dialogue. It wasn't done with regularity because this site didn't have the spam volume that NV had, and very few possessed comedic potential. However, as infrequently as it happened, we were still spanked anyway by one or two disapproving members.
I found another way.
I don't get how this works either. I put all my funny shit in my Blog ( ), but I have no idea how to alert the masses when I go there and make updates. Also, I cannot track my blog or any of the comments therein. Which is disappointing because there is some funny shit to follow in those comments. I know, I know, I should have made it a group rather than a blog but I didn't listen to TiG (well it was after the fact in my defense). So does anyone know if I can convert the blog into a group and carry over all the comments?
only TiG knows the final answer, lol...
