Getting your knickers in wad early -- prior to the weekend this time, Raymond. Ritalin wearing off?
Interesting having the preeminent obsessive choad in the forum judging anybody as well there, sparky. Funny that.
Lolz.
I feel it necessary to weigh in here.
The preferred expression is "knickers in a twist". It not only has a delightful assonance between the two stressed syllable, but "twist" is decidedly more elegant, and thus more charming, than the comparatively low-brow Americanism "wad".
And now, having struck a blow (I hope) for literary style over political substance, I'll send it back to your regular argument.
Just for clarification it's "knickers in a twist" or "panties in a wad".
(That was question 37 on my "Life in the UK" citizenship test. If only I had failed...)
Not like I have never done a mixed metaphor before. I guess I should slam the tires and kick the doors before I charge down that easement again.
Not mixed metaphors, but two idioms that absolutely drive me crazy are
"half in two" (I'll cut it half in two and you pick one) or "one of the only".
The one I use that drives my GF crazy is "fixin' to", as in "I was just fixin' to go to the grocery store".

"seemingly fabricated"??? On what factual basis do you make that assertion?
Context clues based on how the interaction went. Again, feel free to find multiple cases where damages were awarded for the phrase “It seems that you are being intentionally dense here.“ I could be wrong but I doubt it.
I promise you that I am open to the possibility that I am wrong here. It just seems lame to throw that sort of thing out there and then refuse to back it up with the claim “ you are a douche and I am not going to waste my time doing that.” I feel pretty certain that I am right.
Refresh my memory, please. What was Tanq's exact wording? And can you provide a link to the specific post, please?

Sounds exactly like you.
Considering that this comes from the person who has dodged so many of my questions and is still dodging them, forgive me if I take your unsupported claims with a grain of salt.
What exactly am I still dodging bro? If you ask Lad a question as part as a back-and-forth with him I’m not your backup for what’s in Lad’s brain.
Quote:My context for this position is the many questions I have asked of you personally and lefties generally that you have ignored, or answered with a hissy fit.
I know it hurts you to not to have an on-call liberal for immediate answers to all your questions. Maybe advertise on Craigslist?
Quote:Interesting, comparing 93's position to that of the MSM, who continually characterize the election claims of Trump and others as being "false", "lies", and claims made "without evidence". I think this is a case of monkey see, monkey do, monkey points finger and throws feces.
93 does seem to have a fetish about Tanq though.
I just think it’s hilarious that you guys give that sort of behavior a pass but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Like the pass you give the BLM? "Mostly peaceful protests"?
What behavior? All I have seen so far from you is conjecture, which is your basis for innuendo.
Even if you had facts on your sides, I would think it hypocritical.
As for on-call, I would settle for an eventual response. It doesn't have to be right away. Who said it did?
Numbers asked you a question and is still waiting. Bazinga!!!

Amazing that he has time for this stuff, but cannot/will not answer a simple question.
So, using what he calls "Context clues", I conclude that he is dodging the topics for which he has no good answers. Case proven.

It was asked 5 hours ago, and you have since responded four times in this thread alone. But just respond later.

I forgot your internal starts going haywire after about 5 minutes. Houston to Montrose and then shuttle for two hours, bro. Sorry I wasn't Johnny-on-the-spot enough for you. Again... didn't respond as Pariliament searching not easy on mobile and bad connection through mountains. Having to justify a 5 hour delay, though, is exactly the sort of thing that nobody enjoys.

Well, I was going to let it go but then you asked for a break. After all, you have made it very clear that you probably won’t come back later and answer, and of course the complete silence gives no clue that you busy or asleep or doing macrame.
All you need to do is say,later, dude, I’m tied up.
Or I’ m not going to dignify that with a response.
If you were trimming your bonsai tree at home, and one of your kids asked a question, would you just tighten your lips in anger, ignoring them, or tell them later, I’m busy now.
Ask me a question, and if I am tied up when I see it, I will at least acknowledge that I will have to get back to you later.
But just silence? Who are you, my first wife?
Ever since Manchin announced his NO vote,, it has been interesting to listen to the Progressive complain.
One big complaint, repeated often, is that one Senator should not be allowed to thwart the wishes of 49.
Yoo hoo,. It's not 1 - its 51. Must be that racist math.
In any case, the Progs remind me of a 4 year old in toy store, whining to their parents. They want this and this and that, and why can't you just use your credit card or write a check or get the money from gramps?
They show the financial awareness of a four year old.

Two interesting quotes from this article.
First, the ABA policy in question (emphasis added):
...any ABA CLE program with three or more panelists (including the moderator) must have at least one member from a diverse group; a CLE program with five to eight panelists (including the moderator) must have at least two members from a diverse group; and a CLE program with nine or more panelists (including the moderator) must have at least three members from a diverse group.
Second, the ABA president's description of the policy:
...we continue to believe the ABA’s CLE practices do not constitute a quota system.
The policy may be wise or unwise, legal or illegal, constitutional or unconstitutional -- but to claim that it is not a quota beggars belief.
No wonder people don't trust lawyers -- and many lawyers don't trust or respect the ABA.
Odd that the libs keep saying they don't have any quotas, but if if board is mostly or all white, they say there is just not enough POC.
Dem Congresswoman carjacked at gunpoint in Philly
The article did not say if she was for defunding the police, but if so, I wonder if this alters her stance? Heck, it might alter her stance even if she wasn't for defunding.
Of course, being a Dem, she probably will blame the gun.
