Someone had a link of to a list of the best commenters on the site. I would like to go back there but I can't find the list anywhere in the site and don't know who had the link in their sig. Anybody know where it is?
(And don't tell me to ask Caedes, please. ^_^)

sorta kinda… the comments column measures how many letters are in all the words you've been strewing around and gives ya a nice round total of how much site space people are occupying.*

Keifer & PurMusic are WAY over quota… but don't tell them I said so.

*Disclaimer: This is not meant to imply that anyone should edit their comments to be shorter… use as many words as you feel necessary to impart your message/critique. As a matter of fact, with critiques, the more explicit you are, the more helpful you are likely to be. Providing you actually know what you're talking about of course.

ok. thanks. Much appreciated. I won't tell anabody but if they read this thread, your in trouble.

I prefer the older, NON-disclaimer Cat .. in fact, let your hair down and STOP using a smiley as well

you know the old saying ... ... joke 'em if they can't take a f....

oh .. look at the time, would ya .. I gotta run

Ah Les....Les is the king of commenters (tors?) Les is more. The more he says the Les we understand. God made his mouth and just stuffed it full of words. I would imagine you can even hear the oratory coming from his bathroom. Les is the original 'motormouth' but we all love him....or was that pity.....p.s. I have to check my oratory guide....and by the way how about that weather? p.s.s Anyone hear the hockey scores? Oh and p.s.s.s Had turkey on Thansgiving....*link* *link*.....and.....

Ah....was that supposed to make sense, Jerry?

shhhh..it makes sense to him. let him wander away contentedly, and if we're lucky he'll sleep it off ;-)

That was Les speak. Rob knows...he's just playing hard to get.

Rob plays hard to get ? Wow ... who knew ?

Okaaaay. I'm going to go back to my happy place now. See you later.

I have chocolate at my happy place and lots of it.

and just what exactly are trying to do, Mr? (by the way I just had homemade brownies *too many*. That's the only reason I'm able to resist the temptation of stealing your happy place)

I'm just kidding...don't want to sound like a dirty old man. I don't have a happy place but I do have chocolate in it.

Lol, that doesn't make a bit of sense. You DON'T have a happy place but you do have chocolate IN it..........................oh wow, I'm way too tired! And I know you were just kidding. I know your a nice guy who takes excellent photos and I should actually be worshipping you and trying to make you tell me your photography secrets. ;-)

Yes...you should be worshipping me but won't because you are more level headed than that. I'll tell you my secrets...just as soon as you hand over all your chocolate.

Eh.......I don't think they're worth the chocolate.

OK....fine! I'll just keep my secrets! *thinking of plan to get that chocolate*

O.O

How did I get mixed up in this??

Uhm ... well as long as there is chocolate for the asking ... *notices deep_sapphires' sig* ... er, yeah ... 'bout that request for chocolate?

I'm good thanx.

*runs away ... fast*

hehe, you'll never get my chocolate! It's locked away and guarded by heat lasers and machine guns and barbed wire and guard dogs, etc. Trying to get my chocolate is a suicide attempt. Muahhahaha!!!! \_/

Oh oh...this sounds like a old thread. Young lady we have ways of getting your chocolate. We don't want to resort to them so just hand over the candy and spare yourself. Lasers, machine guns, barbed wire, and guard dogs...we laugh...is that the best you have? The chocolate please.

Well I laugh back! Your measly attempt to get the chocolate is so lame, you put a 5 year old on a sugar rush to sleep. And, that's not the best I have, I'm just to lazy to think it up. :-P

We are counting on you being lazy and we are patient.

Extremely patient ... where chocolate is concerned, I am the one and only Komodo Dragon ... I will take a bite and then follow you until you drop the remains ... and then devour them.

Hmm ... that sounds rather weird.

Oh well, if it looks like a duck, sounds like a duck and walks like a duck ... it's probably a genetically engineered chicken.

ok, now i realize i had to dig deep for this one, but check this out. Japanese folklore has several demons which, if i remember correctly, eat the um.. remains (think diaper, not corpse) of infants and children. and...the Komodo Dragon is from japan..funny how the mind works (ok,well at least mine) and flows through from one subject or item to another..
just 'food' for thought

Ok ... that was weird ... even for you. :oP

Heyyyyyy ... wait a minute ... do I detect the aroma of a plant in the genus Allium?

Jerry, let me put this in simple terms for you...TOUCH THE CHOCOLATE AND DIE! Now I realize that's hard for you to process, but try and work with me.
And now, the getting up early for sunrise pics wasn't worth it for me. But I did have loads of fun and I'm glad Dad got a gorgeous pic. I just got a new camera and I don't have a telephoto lens for it yet. So I couldn't get close enough to get a thing. I wonder how much cropping is to much.....
AND I'M NOT GIVIN' YA THE CHOCOLATE!

No chocolate..no advice. And how close do you have to ge to the sun to get a picture of it? How much cropping is too much? When you can't see the picture anymore. That's worth a couple pieces of chocolate.....hmmmm.....whataya think? Hmmm?

lol, Jerry. Your a nut. But, ah, what part of what you said was supposed to be the advice? lol.

My pics of the sun have telephone poles, electrical wires, a bunch of trees, tops of a few houses (I was overlooking a valley) and empty sky space in them because that was as close as I could get. My Dad's shot was of the very heart of the sunrise. That's why I need to fork over money for a telephoto lense. *GRR*

No chocolate yet.....

Mmmm..yeah...why didn't you ask for a telephoto for Christmas? Different priorities right? I thunked so. I don't want your chocolate. *new strategy*.....*am I a genius or what?*

Or what.

I got money for the camera for christmas. A much bigger priority. (Don't care if I spelled that wrong)

Ok...so I'm not a genius...at least I'm an or what. Can you share with us about what kind and flavor camera you got?

Of course your a genius!! You know what, I just got a rebel XTi and I just found out you have one too. I don't know what you mean by flavor, but it's definitely chocolate! Are there any tips or anything about the camera you could share with me that would be useful and wouldn't cost chocolate?

Tips? Free? No.

I thought so, but I thought it was worth a try. Ok, what will it cost me???

By the way my dad absolutely loves your image Snoqualmie River, but he hasn't told you.

oooooh ... "deep" lands a sucker punch to the ribs .. a veiled compliment

FREE ADVICE: ... "remember to take off the lens cap"

Shhhhh....thanks for warning me about the sucker punch...it won't work...her dad did tell me. He knows where her chocolate is too.

Lens cap? No wonder most of my pictures are black. I thought it was those 20 minute exposures.

I seriously didn't mean for it to be anything. My Dad and I were just surfing the web together to hunt down a lens and he said something about a lens that you said you used in your photo summaries. We went to look and then he kept looking at your stuff. He saw that one pic and was all "ooh" and "ahh" all over the place and put it on his desktop. At the time he hadn't said anything so I thought I would mention it. And sure he knows where the chocolate is, in the candy dish in the living room! You wanna beg him for it, go right ahead! The chocolate I have is hidden, has been for a while. And he still hasn't found it, even when he searched my room. Muahahahha!

You lost your bargaining chip...your chocolate is stale.

Oh, lol. The chocolate hasn't been hidden for a while. I just realize what I said. It's where I hide all my candy. That's what I meant by a while. Anyhoo, it never was a bargaining chip. But you'll have to excuse me, I must get back to eating my dark chocolate M&Ms.

Don't say DARK chocolate....I run naked in the streets for dark chocolate.....well not totally naked...I wear my helmet.

psst, Jerry. I hear Curt has a whole crate of dark chocolate...siccum *evil grin*

DARK CHOCOLATE.... DARK CHOCOLATE... DARK CHOCOLATE... moahahahahaha *quick Rob get the camera ready

Curt is busy getting the chill off. Could be futile but give him A for effort.

*growls at everybody, as he protectively cradles the chocolate next to him*

Back off... or I'll lick every piece here... *grrrr*

Curt....you have bigger (?) problems than hording chocolate.

Curt's hoarding chocolates ??!!!!

huh? wha? someone say chocolate... hand 'em over curt or these strappy sandals are history...

Alyssa has the chocolates....Curt just thinks he does...you know Curt. *wink wink*

ahhh must be all that gunk in his teeth effecting the brain... lol

ewwwww

That's it....that rotten spinach on his teeth have him in an altered state. I had that misspelled at first...alterd state...he could be in that too.

Oh thanks Jerry! Tell everybody I have the chocolate! Now my secrets out! I'm doomed. O_o
Alterd state...are you sure it's spinach on his teeth?

Knowing Curt it could be what you are thinking and you were the one who revealed you had chocolate...now at least half of Caedes is after it....put your ear to the ground...listen to the stampeding hordes headed your way.

lol.
The hordes are the reason I was in my happy place in the first place! That's what started all this. Now I must go tend to the guard dogs. And don't worry, I won't say the word...urm....D chocolate anymore. That is one sight I can live my life without seeing.

Well strap on the AK-47 baby cuz we are coming after ya. It will be a chocolate raid the likes of which the world has never seen.

*prepares to go 'commando' with Jerry*

Wha? Ohhhh ... you meant that kind of 'commando.'

'K, hold up while I find a pair of briefs. :oP

o.O... *grins REALLY big*

Oh, oh ... *tries to remove ... er, not foot ... fingers from mouth??*

'Commando' for the chocolate raid ... for the chocolate raid. Sheesh.

*grins ... nonetheless*

I'm not worried. Robots can't eat food, curt can't have my hard bars of chocolate with his braces, and I'll squash Les when he gets close.

Les will be late...he has to go to the doctor to have his foot extracted from his mouth...and in his briefs at that. And Bots can eat food...we just don't make doody. Curt has no braces cuz he has no teeth...the raid is a go.

Those are some pretty weak qualifications to me. Those ARE braces on his teeth. I wanna now where your mouth is cuz all I see is a blue speaker....thing....

Who said I had a mouth? And that's not just a speaker...it's a Bose.

Hey Jerry?

You gotta give Alyssa props for her feistiness though, wouldn't you agree?

... ... ... ... ...

Well, ok then ... back to the drawing board. I think we got our cues and signals mixed up ... you were ... ahem ... supposed to storm the front when I put her off guard. :o|

That's ok ... our resolve is strong ... particularly when it comes to chocolate. We shall prevail ... and in the meantime listen to some good good music.

So? Care for some James Last? Or something else perhaps?

Thank you Les. I'm not sure if that's supposed to be a compliment or a sarcastic insult, but I'll pretend it's a compliment. :-)

Ok, a Bose. Whatever that is. :-/

James Last? Never heard of 'em. If he's rock, I'll like him though. But I'd prefer Switchfoot if you have any. ^_^

only Jerry can switch feet .. unless he's a Bose 720 Lethargic model

their wiring is all wonky

I be wonky.

We know Jerry .... but's okay anyway. :D

I know... can we make a movie about him?

"Jerry Wonky and the Cogs & Gears Factory"

I get dibbs on playing a Oompa Loompa... :oP

but Curt, then it would be an autobiographical role for you ;-)

Who better to play the part then... huh smarty pants? :oP

I think Rob should be the director because he can spell ottobyografeekul.

lol, it's so funny to see how far the converstion threads stray from the original topic when your away for a while. :-) Not that I'm scorning or anything! I'm partially to blame for this but I just think you guys are a barrel of monkeys and I get cramps laughing so hard at you guys bantering around.

We get cramps from bantering around..................chili will do it too.

*Gives Jerry an (Exlax) Brownie*

I would have responded earlier Curt but I have been in the bathroom the last couple of days....seems I ate a bad brownie.

hehe...and while you were in the bathroom, I made off with all your chocolate!!!!! (And I left mine well guarded!!!)

I know where you will be...I got the chocolate from Curt.

*doesn't want to ponder on the coincidental mention of chocolate and visits to the bathroom*

Yeah ... I know ... thanks for the visual Les. :oP

*grins evilly*

Methinks the next word in this dialogue is ... "erp." lol

*erp* I will never eat chocolate again...well for at least a couple of days when I get over the visual.

"it's rich and thick and and choco-lit..."
actually that was a jingle for Nestle Quik...but it fits nicely here. *wicked smirk*

For "a quick Q', this sure has dragged on for a long time...

We are more interested in the chocolate right now....got any? Don't worry I will subdue this thread soon enough. Look around...I am a thread killing Ninja.

Look out people !! ... Jerry's reaching for the thread killing Ninja Death Stars !!

Won't be long on this one...I see it weakening.

well, the thread on how to pronounce "caedes" has what...? 4000+ entries? by comparison, this is in it's infancy...

(*cough*) .. this is anything BUT a quick question


this is why guys don't ask for directions

or ..

go shopping at the mall ...

or ...

watch soap operas ...

or ...

answer that .. "does this make my butt look fat?" .. question

Have no fear the Blue Ninja is here...aka The Thread Angel of Death.

blue ninja..that sounds like a cleaning product...like rug shampoo

Actually I was thinking car wax.

I particularly like the Blue Ninja Carnauba Car Wax ® myself.

None of that pesky streaking with the new and vastly improved re-formulated product ... it now contains Erp ® !!! :oP

I am open to endorsing. I just turned down an offer for feminine products...not macho enough for the Ninja.

Hmm ... with 'wings?'

Nahhh ... didn't test well in the focus groups. That and those lazy sods only showed up for the free lunch. >:o\

Free lunch!? I'll endorse that.

ah...but I hear there'll be chewy, chunky chocolate fudgey brownies for dessert....

I'll endorse that too. Just make very sure you don't get any from Curt....if you do wear a diaper.

hehe, I think you'll need to wear more than a diaper. And where is Curt anyway? Chiseling his avatar?

Probably out chiseling some old women.

Yeah, for her freshly-baked peanut butter chocolate chip cookies, I bet.

or he could be off drooling over this yummm cookies

Do you think if I ate one of these I would become a Blues singer?

No, you would need a whole lot more than just eating a blues singing cookie for you to sing in tune.
