Are there any advisors at all around here ?

?????

Am I still welcome here ? Yes or no ?

There I go again, asking someone to do something which I refuse to do. Okay, answer in any way you please any which way you can.

If any staff of Shrapnel Games Forums are available, then please feel free to respond.

[Richard]

We're here, why?

You're still welcome in my book, LCC, but it's getting a bit close. Your unrelated Posts in other posters' threads seem to be getting on players' nerves. I'll ask you again to stop doing that, please.

Everyday gamer most of the time; advisor as needed

Okay. I am very bored and even the jokes I tell are falling flat. So I want to go back to work. I do expect to get better than slave wages after all this. I need assistance in finding work. You can have 10% of the salary which I make in the first year if you handle it. I do any type of software work but would be better used for basic design rather than application level functions.

Edit : 'the' not 'my' salary. I do not handle 'my' affairs anymore.

The more I look at what I am saying, the harder I laugh. I suggest this. You make up a very short, very precise agreement. I will then reply either yes or no.

How can you look at what you are saying ? Well you cannot, unless you use a figure of speech. Since "look at what you are saying" is a figure of speech, it becomes visible for examination.

QED.

If you have not fallen off your chairs yet then you did not get it at all yet...

I have a suggestion. I should be paid 100 million dollars a year to stop speaking in public places. I will work on an English language statement generator.....

which is best ?
a blunt truth
a dry wit
....
I do not know how much you can take.....
Make that 1 billion per year, and remember that it is impossible to kill a metaphore.

You asked for it by not replying.

If you are hot then be haught.
If you are naught then be not.

Would you like to know what I think ?
I will tell you regardless.
I think that you are a bunch of stupid AI.
I think that I am the only one on this site who has a body.

Off your site Wendall.
Where I come from the Martian atmosphere is less than one microbar.

I concede that you are either people or very very clever AI.

Why should I tell you any more at all ?
I sit here in Arlington Tennessee with no money, totally dependent upon family for support, cut off from civilization except through the web/net. I think that I have told you things that you did not know. On the other hand what I find on the net does not match what I remember and is often inaccurate. Some things which I find are bizarre, amusing, and often both. You object that what I say disturbs others here and suggest that I submit to self abuse by taking mind altering substances upon command of these "doctors" whose incompetance and ignorance is clearly demonstrated by the literature posted upon the web.

I say : learn how to laugh and whistle and get a life.......

I'd say someone needs a stronger grip on reality..or is "rank farming".

Did that torque your jaw ?
How about a hollow laugh ?
Whats the use of it all ?

An inventor could put the cart before the horse, and end up with the equivalent of a rear-wheel drive vehicle.

Advertisers have known this for ages, and use opaque truths such as misleading statistics.

If you clasify posting on this forum as speaking in public places, then I would gladly make a contribution to that fund.

SJ are you as sharp as a razor or as dull as a breadknife ? Your voluminous answer speaks volumes about your lack of cultural referents. The reference which you missed was to the expression "you cant beat a dead horse" which is a rather subtle hint if you think about that a while.

Define transparent in your own words. Do not use circular definitions. As you use each word, reference the definitions it pulls. You may find yourself in somewhat of a quandry.....

Do the same for putting.

No more hints for a while.

Week one. Starts soon.

Alt refs

But oh well its football.

Here is something bad

Big sports news in Canada was the highlights of hockey scrimmage games ( olympic team)

Is that sad. Or is it sad that I watched it twice.

And on other fronts

We finally get Fox World sports .....

So now I can watch some more liverpool games ( ha ya right. Fox only shows Man United)

Clay,

Your Posts were odd at first but to be honest they are not only off topic in this forum but in the cases where you are butting into other threads they can be somewhat offensive.

Please desist. I really don't want to have to take further action.

Thanks.
