I'm here, so everybody can rage at will

The more I thought about it, the more unfair it seems that I hijacked somebodies intro topic, which was OK when I wasn't actually planning on staying.

But now somebody is dragging a chunk of rotting horseflesh around, :popcorn:

asking me to help beat it with a stick, hoping that somehow the rotting flesh will once more run the race.

That is amusing enough to stick around. For at least a few days. Get some cardboard boxes, set up camp in the park.

Meh.

So to "drag the horseflesh around more" you start another thread on the same non-topic?

Don't you have anything else to talk about?

Perhaps you should try discussing cooking or jokes, or hang out with the game nerds in the Colosseum. You know, somehow indicate that you're interested in something besides a particular pet topic?

Helpful hint: This will make your trolling on said pet topic all the more entertaining because other members, now lulled into a sense that there is a more or less well-rounded individual behind the screen name, will think you actually believe whatever ridiculous claptrap you cart out. Thus they will engage you more directly and fervently, believing there is some purpose behind the conversation, be it education, debate, or what have you.

Cooking? You want me to discuss cooking? That's crazy talk.

Next you will want pictures of naked wimmins.

What about the children?

The horseflesh remark only makes sense if you have been following along. Nobody else will have a clue.

It reminds me of a joke.

A big city lawyer went duck hunting in South Louisiana. He shot and dropped a bird, but it fell into a farmer's field on the other side of a fence. As the lawyer climbed over the fence, an elderly farmer drove up on his tractor and asked him what he was doing. The litigator responded, "I shot a duck and it fell in this field, and now I'm going into retrieve it."

The old farmer replied. "This is my property, and you are not coming over here."

The indignant lawyer said, "I am one of the best trial attorneys in the U.S. and, if you don't let me get that duck, I'll sue you and take everything you own."

The old farmer smiled and said, "Apparently, you don't know how we do things in Louisiana. We rule ourselves under the Napoleonic Code. We settle small disagreements like this with the Louisiana Three Kick Rule."

The lawyer asked, "What is the Louisiana Three Kick Rule?" The Farmer replied. "Well, first I kick you three times and then you kick me three times, and so on, back and forth, until someone gives up."

The attorney quickly thought about the proposed contest and decided that he could easily take the old codger. He agreed to abide by the local custom. The old farmer slowly climbed down from the tractor and walked up to the city feller.

His first kick planted the toe of his heavy work boot into the lawyer's groin and dropped him to his knees where he immediately vomited.

The geezer's second kick nearly ripped the man's nose off his face.

The barrister was flat on his belly when the farmer's third kick to a kidney nearly caused him to give up.

The lawyer summoned every bit of his dark heart, vengeful will and managed to get to his feet and said, "Okay, you old coot now it's my turn."

The old farmer smiled and said, "Naw, I give up. You can have the duck."

See, that's a good start, but it's not a fraction of the output volume on the pet topic. I would think at least a 1:2 ratio would be ideal, closer to 1:1 if you're feeling up to it. The idea is there, but it's like you can't be bothered to put the effort into it.
