    Is that an internal boil or an external? I'd imagine the former would be painful.

    So, you've never heard of the 12 days of Christmas? You know, the song with the partridge in a pear tree? Christmas starts on the 25th and ends 11 days later.

    In Canada, they take the Christmas lights and decorations down on Christmas? :rolleyes:

    I'd have to create another new skin without any snow and frankly, it'd be a waste of time when you're the only one complaining about that one measly page with snow. No matter how loud the whining. Seriously, do you curse God every time it's snowing outside too? Come on.

    That's it, I've had it with you, you arrogant, self-righteous holier-than-thou-lizard. I've had it with you and your crew of tools -- the little collection of mods if I haven't been clear enough. Calling yourself the first and the last is almost as pompeous as chev, and that is saying a lot. You're flying so freaking high on a powertrip it's a wonder you haven't died from the thin air.

    As for that being public, you numbnut scumbag didn't even bother warning me via PM when all the little brown-nosing bastards complained because they're a bunch of yellow-bellied cowards kissing your freaking ass, NO, instead, make an example of what happens when puny mortals in YOUR divine kingdom challenge your stupid suffocating PG-rated rules!

    Go ahead, can my ass! If that wasn't enough to hurt your ego and piss the hell out of you, I can GLADLY continue, because there is a HUGE pile of dirty laundry left!

    Screw you, and screw this place!

    Oh, my. You obviously feel very much oppressed by my arrogant, self-righteous holier-than-thou-lizardness. I suggest drowning your sorrows in a barrel of eggnog. :D Better that than me having to dust off the idiot plaque if you keep up this silliness.

    Btw, that Alpha and Omega title is actually meant to be witty. I'm the first one to greet members via a welcome PM and the last one to say goodbye with bans when needed. So in the context of the boards, I am the beginning and the end. Just FYI. ;)

    Ummm....that only makes sense once you've explained your reasoning pet. It is a *little* bit self-centered....

    It doesn't seem self-centered to me, honestly. My note is "Cogito, ergo doleo" which means roughly "I think, therefore I am depressed." I am not depressed nor do I always think... This seems as silly as arguing over the reputation system.

    A little bit of arrogance isn't such a bad thing. It's pretty common for someone in a leadership position to have a high level of confidence in themselves (which might be viewed as arrogance). It is often that high confidence level that propels them into leadership, and frankly, to a good extent this is necessary quality for a leader.

    If Tal is a little arrogant, it's one of the more palatable arrogances I have encountered. I think he's pretty agreeable in his position, actually. Keep up the good work Tal!

    Maybe I'll change my title to Palatably Arrogant. Has a nice ring to it. :shake:

    Just doing my part to help you redefine your image for 2011. Arrogant is in in 0-11, or so I hear.

    :lol: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Guess the season to be jolly is gone.

    Ya'll take Dotty too seriously. Guess the fog lifted and the lights hurt his eyes. Maybe he was just bored and wanted to see what trouble he could start this time. Looks like he succeeded.

    Dotty, come home and granny will set you to chopping wood or stealing corn liquor from the neighbors that should keep you busy and out of trouble.

    For the record, I've never been more serious in my life. I have been waiting a long time to get what I said off my chest, and it felt pretty damned therapeutic finally telling Tal, his tools and those other people who complained about my posts what I think of them.

    I stand behind every word I said. I am sick of putting up with the pompeous fools, jerks, A-holes and various other types of cretins that post there -- of course there are exceptions, but they're no longer worth suffering the "first and last" and his patronizing arrogance, which also extends to his tools. Me and "some people from here" have established a new community, and it will become my permanent home.

    And don't bother whipping out the plaque. This is the very last time anybody on here hears from me, and if you don't take that seriously, time will prove just how dead serious I am.
