You have been kidnapped

[PlainSimpleJoel]

"I really like the Queensland Maroons!"

"Collingwood are the greatest football team on the planet"

"I want to follow American sports from now on"

A certain phrase involving rivers and seas.

@Ríu ríu chíu , I understand the context of the thread, and that in context this means that this is something you would never say. But I would suggest that maybe you might want to rethink whether something as inflammatory as this phrase is appropriate for posting in any context.

 

[Aragorn]

"No other league cares about its players more than the NFL!"

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

"I understand football."

@Christmas Cookies: Message received. It certainly wasn't my intention to inflame. But that is indeed something that I would never say (and anyone who knows me can pretty much guess whose side I'm on in that whole thing).

Thanks for not deleting the post, at least.

So, I'm not entirely sure it was. I do know whose side you're on, and I get that you've posted it as an example of something you would never say, nor agree with. However, it is an antisemitic phrase, and you did post it. I can't let this thread become an excuse for people to post anything, no matter how distasteful, without consequence. It can't be a "get out of jail free" card for something they would normally get a warning for. I hope you understand why.

So in my overly-polite Canadian way, I was giving you the opportunity to rectify the situation yourself, because I didn't want to take action against you for something I knew you didn't agree with anyway.

Do we reach?

Unrelated, but I rewatched Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice today.
Goddamn, that's a good movie.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Do we reach?

Yep.

My dad wanted me to have a codeword I could provide when speaking to him via text or email so he knew it was really me and not a hacker. It all seemed a bit pointless but I went along with it and we both settled on the codeword GRAPES. The problem was he started asking me to give the codeword even when I was talking to him on the phone so eventually I said I was fed up of the whole codeword plan and wasn't using it anymore. That was about ten years ago so he may have forgotten but overusing the word GRAPES on social media posts might alert him that something's wrong. Either that or he would think I've finally lost it.

"Sure, I'll work late!"

Ever hear the Seth MacFarlane-as-Kermit version?

Back to uncharacteristic tweets: "I have a great idea... since I'm already half bald, I think I'll shave my whole head."

Serious for a moment:
y'all should have some type of code word or something if you have family, there's been an increase in spoofing with Ai trying to get peoples money. Don't have to say it every time, but if your wondering if your talking to say your son for real, you say a prompt and if they don't respond its a scam. Stuff like, I need $500 for X etc. Or something like were talking about, have a prompt /word to text or say that you would let your family know your in some deep doo doo.

Okay, back to silly..

"Enterprise is crap"
Season 2 of Picard was its best one"
"Can I have extra Tomatoes"

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

"Damn, that Strange New Worlds musical episode was good."

 

[Oddish]

"Ugh, that Strange New Worlds musical episode was awful!"

 

[fireproof78]

"Ugh, Phantom of the Opera was terrible."

 

[Oddish]

"Ugh, Phantom of the Opera was terrible."

"Raoul was my favorite character".
Ughhh... the thought. Rich, handsome, athletic, he's already got everything and he gets the girl too. Just like real life, which I go to musicals to escape.

Not saying I WANTED the Phantom's Punjab Lasso to get him... but I doubt I'd have shed any tears, either.

I would recommend reading the book.

It makes more sense.

Like the Winchesters... their code word for trouble, trap, etc., was 'Poughkeepsie'.
