Dumbing-down or wising-up?

[Cuppycake]

I have enjoyed all of the posts and have had a good laugh.  I knew coming back this afternoon would be a treat!

Out of curiousity, were they any particular ones which tickled you?

Actually your entire intro to this topic had me literally laughing out loud!

....someone who is 'too stupid to even know that they're too stupid'

I MUST be borrowing this now.....I LOVE IT!!!!
(I think I've met a person or two who fits into this category )

We probably all have however, there's going to be some who will assume that this observation does not apply to them - just to everyone else, (like assuming that the freeway traffic jam is everyone else's fault but yours?).  Having said that, there must be evidence to support the contention that a person is 'too stupid to even know that they're too stupid', otherwise the risk of someone just tossing that out as an empty insult will make the tosser 'too stupid to even know that they're too stupid'.

Ah, well that's good then.   I'd thought you were referring to some of the humorous bits posted by others that I might have missed while posting replies to others.

So, as to the subject of this thread, have you any of your in-depth insights in that regard?

Wouldn't 'fan' and 'anti-fan' be mutually contradictive if you chose both?

Well YEAH!! That way I could just be wishy-washy, not commit myself to feeling like one or the other....

Since I didn't want to assume you are female before, are you inadvertantly confirming it now?    

Really?    You said that??

   

Did I say THIS already?  BAD DOG!!!

Since I am married to a man that is as skillful with language as you yourself is I have been forced to learn many new words over the years. I have to say that my favorite is tintinnabulation. It is just an awesome word.  (I apologize for my punctuation as I seem to have lost a taste for it. I should attempt to pick it back up... )

I did say "didn't want to assume..." as I'm aware of "wishy-washy" males as well and was iintentionally avoiding a stereotypical assumption despite the stereo being on so loud.  And yes, you did say "bad dog" previously however, 'falcons fly, bad dogs don't get sucked into jet engines'?

Now you're just flirting shamelessly.

Whoa!!! For being a serious guy (or a BIG MEANIE mean guy), you're making an awful LOT of funnies here....

You're going to have to rebuild your reputation if you're not careful!

Just the ring bells or, do shiny things also fascinate?

That's no problem, in fact I've wondered why no one has mentioned my occasional tendency to mispunctuate, (not to be confused with 'Miss Punctuate' - winner of a little-known grammer pageant).

It has been said before that I seem to be 'a mystery, wrapped in an enigma, deep-fried in logic while having humor-Tourettes', (no, I didn't say it first but, I wish I did!).

Bah he is not mean. He is direct. Using words as weapons sometimes those weapons do happen to be much like this :

The sound of the word, the sound of the bells, and the happy feeling hearing them and or saying the word lol! And yes I like shiny, glittery things. My husband claims I am a cat.

I'm unsure whether or not your husband is indicating that you're more of a magpie than a cat however, no doubt he meant it in a nice way.

It's a question, (a sentence ends in a period). <-- that was a 'wising-up' encouragement.
