Off-topic: Marriage and weed

velvetgull9 said:Just spill it already—who exactly are we talking about here?

Who did I think they were for? Or better yet, who do I actually *know* they're for?😁

Keith James812 said:Who did I think had one? Or who do I actually know has one?😁

Honestly, maybe both lists are best. As long as they aren't way too long, I guess.😉

velvetgull9 said:Honestly, just grab both lists. As long as they aren't massive, why choose? 😉

Look, I’m an optimist at heart, so typing out that first list would probably take me maybe thirty minutes tops. 😁 The second one? It's practically non-existent—right now, my count is sitting at a big fat zero. 😁

Now, you tell me: is that zero because I haven't spotted a single one yet, or because everything I *did* see was too small to even count? 😁

Keith James812 said:So, since I'm basically an eternal optimist, typing out this first list would probably take me like, what, half an hour tops? 😁

Omg, don't even bother then! Maybe just list the ones that aren't on the list, might be way faster lol

The second list is super short—as of right now, the count is zero 😁 [/B]

Don't lose hope! Miracles happen! Or so Oprah says!

Now you gotta ask me if it's zero because I haven't seen any, or if it's zero because none of the ones I saw were actually big enough 😁 [/B]

😁

Well??

velvetgull9 said:Man, don't even bother struggling through that. Just list the ones who aren't on the list already—might actually save us some time here.

Walter, Donny, and Lebowski... 😁

😁

So?

So what, you don't care about the big hitters on the forum, you just want the juicy details from my sex life?😁

A storm is brewing, a total whirlwind - Keith James812, give me just a second here - am I imagining things, or have you been stalling on getting hitched lately?

So, did you finally pull the trigger and tie the knot?😬

So you don't really care about the big debates on here, just want the juicy details from my love life instead? 😁 [/B]

But you totally told me to ask...! I honestly thought you were just being a tease, though I guess I shouldn't say it like that... 😉 😁

Anyway, if you just need someone to vent to since nobody else will listen, just let me know. I'm pretty patient. Well, until I get hungry, anyway.

Alright, I'm gonna head out now. 👋

nataniel said:Nat’s flying in hot—Keith James812, hold up one second—is it just me, or are you dragging your feet on getting hitched?

So, you finally tied the knot, huh?😬

I am not slowing down, I’m just pivoting... I'm gonna play it cool and act like I don't care for a while, and then BAM! Catch 'em totally off guard when they least expect it.😎 😁

velvetgull9 said:Look, you’re the one who told me to ask! I honestly thought you were just dying to spill the tea, but you won't even admit it... 😉 😁

But seriously, if you just need someone to listen because everyone else is too busy being self-absorbed, just say the word. I can be patient. Until I get hungry, anyway.

Anyway, I'm heading out now. 👋

Don't you dare! Wait! I've got stuff to tell you! 😁 😁

Keith James812 said:don't! wait up! i'll tell ya! 😁 😁

I'm all ears...

Keith James812 said:Now you have to tell me if my count is zero because I haven't seen any, or just because none of the ones I actually spotted were big enough to count.😁

Look, Keith James812, I’m pretty sure the reason you haven't seen them is that they simply aren't there—you know how it goes, THEY. ARE. MASSIVE. when they actually show up, but honestly, all this obsession with bodily fluids feels like what happens when you spend too much time hanging out with frogs in the swamp, let's be real.

Part of your strategy should be to stop talking about pee and start focusing on some traditional values.

(Just some advice—$67 from one sister to another)😎

velvetgull9 said:I am listening intently...

As for myself... 😁😁😁

nataniel said:Keith James812, I don't think you actually saw them, you know, THEM.

Oh, come on. People see all sorts of stuff. I actually know someone who claims they saw Elvis Presley once!

nataniel said:Look, Keith James812, between you and me, I don't think you've ever actually seen them. You know, THE. BIG. ONES. I heard they aren't even real. All this nonsense you're rambling about regarding sizes? It's just what happens when you spend too much time hanging out with weirdos, let's be honest.

Part of the strategy here—just stop talking about junk and focus on traditional values.

(Pro tip—$67 coming from your big sister)😎

Well, if massive equipment isn't considered a "traditional value," then I truly have no clue what is.😕 😁

And it’s total garbage to say I haven't seen it, because I have... on TV. But hey, whatever, you're entitled to your opinion. They didn't put a matchbox next to him for scale; they used some woman instead. For all I know, she was just tiny, or maybe he was just a regular guy standing next to a literal little person.😁

velvetgull9 said:I'm listening...

Alright, hold on, I'm getting to it... I need to go brew some coffee first just so my brain stops spinning. You have no idea how much I've had to deal with lately; I seriously need to focus if I don't want to accidentally leave someone out of this mess. 😁

Keith James812 said:Alright, I'm getting to it... just gotta grab a Starbucks first to wake my brain up.. you know how much I've got going on, I need to focus so I don't miss anyone 😁

Just please don't take forever because I am seriously starving...

Keith James812 said:If we aren't counting massive egos as a core traditional value anymore, then I’m officially lost. 😕 😁

And let’s not pretend I haven’t seen it before—it’s played out on networks like NBC all the time... though, hey, you’re entitled to your opinion. They didn't exactly put a matchbox next to him for scale; there was just some woman standing there, and for all I know, she could have been a literal little person. 😁

Oh boy, here we go, someone’s practically slapping their right hand against their forehead in frustration... 😉 Seriously, Keith James812, my god—if "traditional values" just means constantly hyping up a guy's ego, being his biggest cheerleader, and treating him like royalty, then we've really lost the plot.

Don't believe a word of what you saw on those TV shows regarding that scale comparison. 😁 And don't trust anything you hear from those tiny little voices on the news either.

Believe nothing. Even people tell me the camera makes me look thin, which is clearly a lie.

Trust yourself. Only yourself.

Anyway, back to our discussion on traditional values. 😎

Come on, Nat, just let her focus and stop bugging her so much, okay? I think I might actually die of hunger here!

velvetgull9 said:Come on, Nat, let her focus without all this nonsense, because I'm honestly about to starve over here.

How exactly is she supposed to focus when her entire headspace is occupied by nothing but "traditional values"?

Well... I mean...😬

Did the headline actually change, or am I just losing my mind?

Am I hallucinating? Can someone please snap me out of it?
Walt Disney?
Anyone?

😁

nataniel said:Oh my god, oh my god! Nat is practically screaming here, slapping his right hand—emphasis on the *right* hand—against his forehead... 😉 Man, Keith James812, what a mess. He’s talking about "traditional values," which apparently means you have to talk about the bosses. They write that they're great. You're supposed to praise them. Be nice to them.

Don't believe a single thing you see in the media—and by that, I mean that big box they call the TV. 😁 Don't trust anything you hear from that little box where small-minded people spout nonsense either.

Trust nothing. Even they try to tell me the camera makes me look skinny.

Trust yourself. YOURSELF.
(thumps finger on the table dramatically)
😎 Anyway, let's get back to those "traditional values."

Look, I am totally lost here. This is a complete 180 from everything I was ever taught. 😁 They told me the best move regarding the bosses was to shut my mouth entirely. And if they actually cornered me for an opinion? Fine, I could praise *one* specific guy, but everyone else? Forget it. It wasn't even about being mean; it was about acting like I didn't even know they existed. 😁 Now suddenly, I'm allowed to talk about everyone, hang out with them, and heap praise on them too? I don't know, Nat, sounds like some fancy rules they make up in Europe or something. Down in California, if you acted like that, you wouldn't just lose your job, you'd lose your teeth. 😁 😁
