The word "stupid" OT

Aug 27, 2004 32 Replies

I hereby decree that it is AGAINST THE RCB LAW to use the word "stupid" when referring to one's self on this newsgroup.



This includes describing a question you ask as "stupid".



Do *not* test this decree.....you will be sorry if you do. Am I right, guys? ~~ Sooz

Yeah!!! Words have power. If you continuously call yourself or your actions something, the universe will answer in the affirmative.

Oh, gosh -- I kind of thought that went without saying. ~~ Sooz

Damn! I was just going to call Sooz and her stupid decree stupid. There goes my stupid fun for the stupid day.

What if the question really *is* stupid? What then? Some newbie comes by and asks, what is a bead? Where can I buy one of them there bead thingys? Can I then, hunh, hunh? Can it be labeled stupid then? Diana, doing some early morning stirring

Hmmm....that veered perilously close to the decree. We'll let you go this time!

But next time it will cost you cocoabats. ~~ Sooz

Then you can use Roget's Thesaurus to your heart's content. :-)

If someone posts such a sadly ignorant question, we must take them under our collective wing, for clearly the poor soul has led an inutterably deprived life.

I'd never eaven heard of cocoabats before RCB. Guess I'll have to see if I can find them - I'm curious.

But is that a stupid question? Some people don't know that anything with a hole is a bead.

Nah, just show them what a bead is (a marble that lost it's virginity, right) assimilate them and pray they never recover from their new addiction.

Resistance is futile!

Really. Could be a doughnut, or a bagel, or...well, i guess if you string the doughnuts and bagels together, then they're beads...maybe???
