[quote name="Zseni"][quote name="conflictNo"]If I wanted to start a Gramin Bank-style cooperative for men to increase their buying power to purchase MORE MORE MORE beef jerky, I could. I wouldn't have to answer to anyone. cNo[/quote] This was exactly the sort of answer that should have been handed to me the instant I brought the whole jerky mess up. Adroit, direct, simple, funny, and I can't think of any way to answer it without sounding like a <i>total sissy girl</i>. One change: "I don't have to answer to anyone." Perfection. A man now instead of a hypothetical man postulated for arrival later. Anyway gg cNo, again? Stepto continues to be leader of best ways to finish off An Argument With Zseni, though. After I raked him over the coals about AW^2, going so way over the top that I had to (much later) apologize to him, his good-bye kiss was a recommendation to try ball-tongueing as a way to keep the Weaponsmith happy. In perfect deadpan sincerity. Excellent.[/quote]
