Hi, my name is... (Introduce yourself here!)

[eitlobsaboo]

Nice hat.. and hi.

[Oddfellow]

May I recommend you call yourself mad, or perhaps crazy, instead? Or maybe "I like being the center of attention and will be wacky to get it" suits you better.

"I like being the center of attention and will be wacky to get it" will do I think, thank you.

And hi, eitlobsaboo. Hope you're having a nice day.

An also hello to MrSquishyDBC. I don't know if you were saying hello to me, but I think so. Hello anyways.

Did I mention I was insane? Oh yes I am.

Insane is a legal term, not a health related one. A court declares someone insane as a justification of punishment or lack thereof; unless you've been arrested and charged, no matter what your state of mental health might be, you are not "insane".

That's just not true.

Guess I should cite my sources, then?

Why would you recommend that? He indicates that he has some form of mental instability, not that he's angry.

Oh, wait! Did you perhaps mean "mad" in the sense of "mentally unstable"? Goodness, it's easy to forget that some words may have different meanings depending on their context and the intentions of the speaker, isn't it? Gracious me.

Eh? I'm being sarcastic? Well as I recall, "sarcasm" descends from the Greek root sarkasmos, which means "to tear the flesh". And yet I'm not literally tearing flesh, am I? It's purely metaphorical. It's almost as if one simply has to sometimes accept the general intention of the word rather than its literal meaning.

That being the case with language, it would seem that one might have to further accept that people might use a legal term in a non-legal sense in certain contexts, primarily in common conversation, without meaning for the legal component to be part of it. How could this be!

lol semantics. A minefield best avoided, yes? Concession, however, in that "insane" is indeed used as a legal term and that center of attention wackiness is totally a fair call.

Anywho, howdy there, Oddfellow. Don't mind Tekk. He's the old, crotchety, and vaguely disturbing one of the group.

Edited because that's enough of that, but I'm leaving this:

Vagina.

[pie]

Yeah, hey, dude.

[Oddfellow]

Hello pie.

Also, hello Stan (cyperpunker). I feel like giving you a hug because nobody noticed your introduction. I think you should get an avatar, maybe it would help. For the time being, I will take your word for the fact that you're pretty cool. But to be honest I don't really know.

Look another cookie!

Never mind Tekk's right.

[pie]

Never mind Tekk's right.

Never say that.

NEVER SAY THAT.

[kleptoman]

Hi Oddfellow. Welcome to a board where we have pedantic arguements about stuff which then devolves into crude humour.

Don't mind Tekk. He's the old, crotchety, and vaguely disturbing one of the group.

Hahahahahaha.

You could have just said he was using a colloquialism, but apparently you're even more pedantic than I am.
