You are all going to eat me...

You are all going going to eat me. Maybe not today, maybe not tommorow, but someday when I'm middle aged and pot bellied with yellowing teeth, a single digit sperm count and an even more pronounced feeling of angst, I will make it to the great city of T.O. and meet my end at the hands of the Babble regulars.

We'll be sitting in a coffee shop somewhere in the big smoke. You'll all want to get to know me and I'll be having such a good time that I shall forget myself and I will say somthing that offends every single one of you. Every single Babbler in the room will fall on me, gabbling like rabid jackels, and my dismemberment will ensue.

But seriously...

Is it possible to have a relaxed judgement free conversation with you lot or are you all activists all the time?

You're a very intimidating bunch and I'm not really as squeaky clean as you might want me to be. :(

Hmmm, I am pretty much an activist all the time when on here. No point to be here otherwise.

Haha CMOT. I won't eat you. I'm vegan. And you're not locally produced.

Just kidding. I have normal conversations all the time. Sometimes about football, sometimes about H&M that have nothing to do with misogyny or unethical sourcing. When you're not paying attention, I might innocuously slip in a dart from my marxist-feminist dialectical arsenal, but for the most part, we could probably play trivial pursuit over beers without much trouble.

Haha! That's an awesome post, CMOT! The answer is, I'm not "squeaky clean" either. And I'm sure we'd get along just fine!

Far be it for me to turn down an invite to a buffet. I'll bring my homemade bbq sauce, just to be on the safe side of a feeding frenzy, should one break out.

CMOT, I think you've been mishearing that standard social greeting: "Pleased to [b]m[/b]eet you!"

I thought we were being invited to a Donner Party.

There's no body language here to give fuller meaning to the words, so it's understandable that the words have to be chosen more carefully, and people tend to jump on words when they are perhaps not conveying the intended meaning.

A good way to improve communication, CMOT, is consuming about five or six sage leaves a day. And you should try a honey and pineapple body wash.

I resisted answering when CMOT first posted; and yet upon re-reading i find my impulse remains the same:

BIte me, CMOT.

Yeah, there's no edit function here, and the first Ruby Dhalla thread had that wierd change of font-- and to top it off, that wierd glitch that creates spelling mistakes in my posts is still happening.

There is. It's just not possible to edit the first post in a thread.

I've got alternating "edit" and "flag as offensive" from post to post, now. Before, no one had an "edit" function.

Thank you, but it does need to be touched up a little bit. Who removed the edit fuction?

No, rabbid jackels. Which I kind of resent. I was holding out for hyena status.

Not really. I saw Babblers more as Zombiefied canibals.

Animals are my friends, and I don't eat my friends. I guess that goes for humans too.

But sometimes I can't help but nibble away at my own relaxed offensiveness.

CMOT, by the time you're middle aged, I'll probably be getting all my nutrients through a straw, if at all. If I may ask a personal question, do you have lots of dietary fibre??

Actually, I have met more babblers than I can recall, probably getting near a hundred by now, and I have yet to take so much as a nibble. I look forward to meeting you and I hope I don't have to wait 'til my dotage.

Well after a few hours on the spit, maybe we could try him with a little Swiss Chalet dibbling sauce.

You'll have to come to me. Currently, I can't think of any official reason to visit y'all. The west is definatly best at this point.

Swiss Chalet dibbling sauce.

Isn't that a kind of lube?
