These are from the last time I gave my dog peanut butter...
That looks like a combination of "Peanut Butter! Mmm, oh God yes!" and "I hate you, for all things holy, I hate you for doing this to me!".
Extremely valid point and put in a much nicer and friendlier way. It is sad that these things occur and even more pathetic of the people that make others feel so uncomfortable. Anyhoo this is a picture thread so I really should post one
You're rather lovely! Oh, and I love that shade of red, it's very vibrant!

Haha! He's adorable! I love hounds.These are from the last time I gave my dog peanut butter...
My roommate's cat has a bad habit of horrible midnight mewing -- about once a fortnight he begins his maddening meowing and can go nonstop for hours. Nothing I tried could stop him -- not ignoring him, not negative reinforcement, nothing. Then, I realized the trick. I put peanut butter on his nose. It takes him ages to lick it off and then it's stuck in his mouth. It drives him nuts but I think he kind of likes it, and it hasn't failed to shut him up!

Whoa, check out the cahones on the newbie.
I would like to point out briefly --- in fairness to both sides of this arguement, that:
1. T'Bonz passed the rule on that for good reason ,and gave examples of why. In comparrison to what was said here, it's really not like what she used for example purposes.
2. On an argumentative point in general: isn't hiding the comments and pretending no one would make them or think them, like having a dead body in the street and simply putting a sheet over it?
And I find it interesting this only seems to get attention when it's a male saying something to a female. I can think of a recent example with language used that was not too far off from what T'Bonz used for example purposes, and no MOD said anything.
Wow that is red...Unfortunately the "every individual can either ignore or complain about posts they don't like" approach doesn't help with the fact that too many of these creepyville responses creates an atmosphere within Misc that's unfriendly to a lot of people. People who were choosing to ignore it, to the point of no longer posting in Misc. The powers that be decided that driving away posters was not what they wanted in Misc, so there is an attempt now to remove the Creep-factor from replies. It may seem to be an over-reaction, but it's necessary to freshen the air round here

Quite lovely I must say though.

Man. I bet you stick out in a crowd. You wear it very well... It suits you.
Did you notify on it? I rarely ever check on the picture thread (if that's where it happened) unless someone notifies on the post in question.
Either that or you can PM me or one of the other mods if you prefer. You don't even have to like me or enjoy a conversation with me.
A word I use all the time -- probably born of a lifelong inundation with British literature and TV. It is a useful phrase used far too little in America!

I just got a kick out of your using it.
I always liked it, though I think I picked it up from my Sherlock Holmes obsession as a small child.... well I still have the obsession, but you know what I meant.
I fell out of using it about the time I hit middle school. Far too many people had no clue what I was speaking about. Explaining it to people all the time got old and my use of "big words" started to earn me no ends of abuses from the other students who felt I was to smart to be friendly to. However, as of the last few years, I've stopped caring about "looking normal" as it where and just use language the way I want to. For some reason I'm constantly getting asked, "Are you studying for the SAT's or something?"
We share the obsession! When I was 9 some one got me a kids collection of classics -- Moby Dick, Holmes, Oliver Twist, etc. 12 in all, for Christmas, and while I politely thanked the gift-giver, I finished them all by the end of the week and privately complained to my mother later that I didn't want to read the abridged versions. So she took me to the bookstore and we got the "grown-up" version of each of the novels, (and she chose for me The Hound of the Baskervilles in place of the Sherlock Holmes collection). I stubbornly read each and every one of those novels in their entirety, even the ones I didn't really understand, but of them all I fell in love with Robin Hood and Holmes. Around the same time the second episode of TNG with Moriarty aired, cementing my interest, and since then I've been Holmes addict. Also, I am in love with him and want to have mad-passionate sex with him.A word I use all the time -- probably born of a lifelong inundation with British literature and TV.

I have a similar history to you with big words as well -- though half of my precocious childhood vocabulary could be attributed to Star Trek. I remember the amused look my second grade teacher, Ms King, gave me, when I announced that I had a "theory" about a character in Mrs Piggle Wiggle.

My grandmother read me a Holmes story when I was two or three, and I was sucked in. Holmes spoke to me in a way that very few fictional works ever did. I can list on one hand the three fictional works (including Holmes) that spoke to me that way. Sherlock Holmes, MacGyver, Star Trek. These are the three things which formed my core understanding of the world if you will. Oddly enough I found them all around the same time period in my life, around 85/86, when I was 2/3.
But my grandmother was the culprit when it came to Sherlock. See, I'm a problem solver. When presented with a mystery or problem, I don't just find the answer, I have to find the answer. It's a gift and a curse. She started me off with puzzles and mazes, word searches and riddles. She said I reminded her of Sherlock Holmes. I asked who that was, she read me some of his short stories from her Sherlock Holmes Adventures collection.
By the time of 87 and start of TNG, I was already a trekkie having watched the entire run of TOS, as well as all the movies 1 - 4, I was deep into Sherlock Holmes (I had a plastic bubble pipe and a magnifying glass that I would always have with me everywhere I went). Having data pull the Sherlock Holmes out in the sixth episode of the show...
Lets just say that my reaction was far from restrained.
Of course, I also picked up a little of a Holmes/Kirk type of swagger and aversion to authority during that time as well... Which did not go over well in school, starting in kindergarten in 89 when I embarrassed the teacher yelling out in the middle of a lesson that she was wrong about something.

Yeah, she's a cutie!
She enjoys the treat...but honestly, I do it for my own amusement. I think she's starting to catch on though...because every time she sees a camera she expects peanutbutter. She really likes it with slices of apple. Nice treat that the two of us can share.
Whoa, check out the cahones on the newbie.
She'd give Major Kira a run for her money.
The last time it came up (well, the last time I noticed it) it was due to female comments. So it's not a universal male thing.
Anyway...
...a new(ish) pics thread and I haven't posted yet. I have nothing new (nothing good) though I've been cleaning out my old photos...
I find no comfort in knowing that as my career ends one of the best photos of me features a belly and standing on a midget.
Thanks
I fear I may have proper hair soon, it takes a lot of work to keep it that colour, which I can't seem to be bothered with lately . Although it seems to look a tad ginger these days. The urge to shave my head is getting stronger and stronger hehe.

All in the name of fairness
. I can assure you I'm a pussy cat....HONEST 
I definitely do disagree with comments made towards a male of such a nature going un-noticed. That's just highly unfair and wel wrong.Don't the police put the sheet over the dead body anyway?
I jest! I know what you mean though. Just in my experience of such unpleasantness I've found it best to ignore it and most of the time it ceases

hehe! Yeah I'm fairly as someone else felt the need to point out
. Oh the hair! Mainly a combo of bleaching it and red dye, semi permanent stuff is really bright. Thinking of growing it out though takes a lot to maintain.- Status
