Huh?

I assumed you were making a joke about Skeelo's use of a few lyrics from Buffalo Springfield's "For What it's Worth" in his song, "I Wish I was a Little Bit Taller."

Skeelo:

Hey you, what's that sound
Everybody look what's goin' down
Ah yes. Ain't that fresh
Now everybody wants to get down like that

Original:

It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's goin' down

Clearly Skeelo "stole" that line. I thought your post was pointing that out. My response asked you how come it's a problem when he does it, but when Elvis and however many other rock musicians who have "stolen" from blues and jazz artists do it, it's okay.

You don't see anything funny in the fact that E/O's MIL got a tummy tuck and then proceeded to use that as an excuse to lay around the house for 2 months?!? Let me guess, she needed another tummy tuck the next year.

The American Acadamy of Plastic Surgeons thanks E/O's MIL for her support.

I am liking you better all the time. Nothing personal to E/O's MIL of course.

This is clearly too delphic for someone as literal as you.

Paigow:

You are not funny.
You are not witty.
You are not interesting.
You are not nearly as smart as you think you are.

Please, please, please, for the love of god, shut the hell up.

Were I more familiar with surgery of this type and its recovery periods, I'm sure that I would be in stitches.*

Don't take our silence as disagreement. Consider disinterest.

Thurgreed interpeted your "Effin' thieves" comment to mean that you were offended by the fact that rapper Skee-lo appropriated those hippie lyrics for his own song. When Thurgreed asks why it is O.K. when "you" do it to "us," he is commenting on the misappropriation and popularization of musical styles, songs, etc., of blacks by whites (see, e.g., Elvis). His reference to an actual lyric or sample is presumably an attempt to point out the hypocrisy of those who feel that there is something wrong with or culturally unworthy about a music that routinely incorporates lyrics or musical samples from other songs in the creation of its own music, when in fact some of the music that is supposedly being misappropriated by the hip hoppers through sampling, etc., was music that was arguably misappropriated from black culture in the first place.

I should have waited to post.

Paraphrasing paigowprincess

I am the paigow.
I am the ambassaodor.
I am a legend.
I am being imitated.
I miss many old posters.
I know who is emailing who.
I will decide who is interesting and who is not, and then let everyone know my opinons.

But I am not, I repeat, I am not FBcool.

So what exactly is FBcool then?

No, darlin', that's the listing for Moderators. The home page lists about 55 concurrent users at the moment.

(Nice Avatar, btw.)

Darlin', just because I'm not a moderator doesn't mean I'm not cool.

Seriously, I'm talking about when you're on the forum pages. If you change the settings from default to Ravio Blue or Ravio Orange, it shows you online or offline status for each poster under his or her avatar. It struck me as funny because the words on the screen were not literally true! Such thinks strike me as amusing, because I am literal.

<----- See, it says I am offline right now! Hahahahahaha!

When you say you like my avatar, are you suggesting that you think I'm funny and smart? Oh, wait, why should I care what you think?

Sweetheart, the point of my post was that I thought it was outrageous.

My family is filled with competitive endurance athletes -- cyclists, swimmers, triathletes, and marathoners -- so the idea that someone would have surgery and then sit around for two plus months is alien.

Of course, none of us have your hot body.

I would, but that would reduce the sexual tension, so I won't. So instead, I'll just say that I think you have good taste in avatars.

Yes, well. Yet another example of how our personas are sometimes at the mercy of our benevolent BossLady. (Damn you, Leagle!)

The key, of course, is finding a way to sit around on the couch endlessly without ultimately requiring a tummy tuck.

I have been really successful so far, but suspect it's only because I also really like to swim and hike on the weekends.

If a guy tells you he likes your avatar, does it mean he wants you? Don't ask me about context, it's too complicated to explain.

Nope, right on it, as was Pilf. I guess I see a difference between copying a genre and pulling out complete verses. (And, if you're going to point out people who have, in fact, stolen complete verses, I'd say "effin' thieves" about them, too. Even remakes drive me crazy.)

Besides, everything is merely a ripoff of the original Icelandic chants. Clapton never did an original riff in his life.

The key to that one is easy - just make sure you stay under the age of 40.

The real key is to find a way to sit around on the couch endlessly without ultimately requiring coronary artery bypass grafting.
