Thread: For Those Who Actually Give A Fuck....

CMN has determined long ago that it's taboo to even think of repo.

You've just lost 3,400 virtual love taps. (that's what noony calls 'em)

He's so hip and smooth like that.

Yes, someone did that a while back.

i can't be arsed to look for it though

As JB said, there was a thread done about this a while ago and the conclusion was that the more greens you have the more lovely you are.

Well fuck, try this on for size.
To my AA buddies,



Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship designed and administered by a bunch of
ex-drunks whose only qualifications for membership is that they can't hold
their liquor and don't want to learn how. It has no
rules, dues or fees, nor anything else that any sensible organization seems
to require.
At meetings the speaker starts on one subject and winds up talking about
something entirely different and concludes by saying he doesn't know
anything about the program, except that it works.
The groups are always broke, yet always seem to have money to carry on.

They are always losing members but seem to grow. They claim AA is a selfish
program but always seem to be doing something for others.
Every group passes laws, rules, edicts and pronouncements which everyone
blithely ignores, members who disagree with anything are privileged to walk
out in a huff, quitting forever, only to return as
though nothing happened and greeted accordingly.

Nothing is ever planned 24 hours ahead, yet great projects are born and
survive magnificently.. Nothing in AA is according to Hoyle. How can it
survive?
Perhaps it is because we have learned to live and laugh at ourselves.

God made man and woman. He made laughter, too. Perhaps He is pleased with
our disorganized efforts and makes things right no matter who pushes the
wrong button. Maybe He is pleased, not with our perfection, but with our
sincerity. Maybe He is pleased with our trying to be nobody, but ourselves.
We don't know how it works, but it does and members keep receiving dividend
checks from AA investments. It is smart to be sober and it is much easier
to stay sober than to get sober.

A repo point quotient that you're suggesting (repo points divided by # of posts) would be more meaningful if the result was then divided by total number of views of one's posts. Those who post frequently on popular forums such as Teakdoor Lounge or Issues have a huge advantage over others who post on less popular forums such as Teakdoor Kitchen or Scuba Diving.

For the record, I don't give a f*ck about repo points, just trying to make a theoretical point here.

OK I see, that has to do with Jesus Christ and that sort of thing does it not?

I prefer to at look those that post interesting and or thought provoking threads as being a more valued contributor here.

And posting plenty of good looking female forms will always win my appreciation.

What are greens?

Only one kind of proper "greens" in America. Them collard ones.

i don't care about greens, but I do read them about once every week or so. If some are pithy will post them in the "show your shit" thread.

F*ck the greens, and f*ck the post count, and f*ck girls up the butt.

^ Thank you. I guess that's a compliment.
