Now if you don't think this baby is the cutest baby ever, I will fight you. That's no lie. :-)

I don't see anyone disagreeing with you Apostropher. But is that because they agree or because you have scared the bejesus out of them?
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking we all agree, except those that have their own babies, and they are too busy with them to fight you...
ReplyDeleteHow do you measure cuteness? Perhaps put 10 babys in an enclosure, drop in a little puppy, and see which baby the puppy sleeps against?
O-oh CK. You are asking for trouble... a puppy?? Watch your back. It's not too late to change your post before Apostropher gets to work.
ReplyDeleteCK - sounds like an excellent plan for determining which baby smells the most like bacon. Not sure about cuteness, though.

ReplyDeleteI was going to rant how you cant delete your comments on this site, then realised you can 'after' you log in... BUT why does it have to say 'comment deleted'!! and not just let it dissapear!
ReplyDeleteAlso the test would not work as well with a kitten as puppy are culturaly synomonous with cuteness.

ReplyDelete[I have had to delete this comment and repost it. Does that qualify as irony, or is it more like rain on your wedding day?]
ReplyDeleteCK,
Imagine, if you will, someone posting the following pair of comments on a forum frequented by some people of the Jewish faith:
#10 - Jews tend to get upset over trivial matters.
#11 - If you ask me, Hitler didn't kill enough of the Christ-killing, tight-fisted, hook-nosed Yiddish bastards.
Imagine the reaction.
Now imagine the original poster deleting Comment #11, leaving no trace it was ever there.
I saw JJ's comment before he deleted it, and I was absolutely appalled! I copied the text so I could cite it in my response (as I always do) and once I saw his revised posting I was doubly-glad I'd had the foresight to do so.
ReplyDeleteHere is his original post in full:
CK,
I remember when I posted the following pair of comments on a forum frequented by some people of the Jewish faith:
#10 - Jews tend to get upset over trivial matters.
#11 - If you ask me, Hitler didn't kill enough of the Christ-killing, tight-fisted, hook-nosed Yiddish bastards.
You should have seen the reaction. :-)
The best part was that I then deleted Comment #11, leaving no trace it was ever there. Hehe. Stupid Christ-killers.
Apostropher you absolute liar!
ReplyDeleteAs if you copied the text with 'foresight'... more like you had the text on hand as the comment was automaticly emailed to you the moment jj first posted it!
CK - I find it interesting that you challenge the authenticity of the text's source, but not the text itself. Did it strike you as something that JJ would indeed be likely to write? :-)
ReplyDeleteMy point was that if an inflammatory statement was made that provoked a massive response, then it's likely at least one person would have copied the text so as to cite it in their response (as I always do) and you wouldn't need to be the forum's moderator to do so. However, even if no-one did, I think if there were enough people talking about that comment by Mr Bimmler, then it’d be apparent that it had been deleted (unless it was part of some larger Jewish conspiracy). :-)
I also wanted to point out a way that a 'comment deleted' post could be used mischievously. :-)
I just noticed that I used a smiley at the end of each para! I guess that can happen when you stumble into Godwin's territory.
ReplyDeleteAnd oh no, the clue that gave the game away: in my doctored quote I used my smiley face :-) instead of JJ's one 8^)
I would've got away with it too if it weren't for them pesky kids.
wow!
ReplyDeletei just arrived,
i thought this was about Apostraphers adorable child!
and i arrive to this experiment in censorship and ant-semetism.
Apostrapher! i thought you run a family blog with family values, that your youngest could come to!
am i mistaken?

ReplyDeleteI would appreciate it if you ... removed that comment
ReplyDeleteI'm inclined to leave the post there as I love that you used my real name (which I try not to use) while asking someone to delete their post for using your real name (which you try not to use). :-)
What were you saying about rain on your wedding day?
And yes, for the record, JJ would be more likely to marry Michael Moore while tipping against Essendon and accepting an arts grant than say what I said he said.
ReplyDeleteMmmm... black fly.
ReplyDeleteOh well, your real name's gone now. Since your follow-up reiterates most of what I said, no great loss.
Except that my shameless use of the word "philosemite" to demonstrate my erudition is now sadly lost.
Now, if Michael Moore ever got divorced and wanted to remarry, I might become a civil celebrant and offer my services... just so that I could be sure to be at the wedding when the time comes to offer objections to the union.
Furthermore, I was at one point on the Board of an organisation that accepted an an arts grant.
But, just to be clear, I have never tipped against Essendon.

ReplyDelete(Reposted again to remove someones real name - Position should be after the 1st dagradon comment.)
Good game, I yeild Sir Wordsmith, this time... Yes I considered that you faked the comment, but wondered why JJ had not refuted it.. So I assumed it was true and decided (a) not to respond to it so as not to prove his/your point. and (b)by flaming about you on a trivial matter I am also proving his/your point. - So what did he actually delete? )-%

ReplyDeleteHa, now I am deleting comments just to keep you guys guessing what I wrote, then felt I needed to delete.
ReplyDeleteI have better idea than Apostropher fighting those who think his baby is not the cutest... but the challenging baby into a caged arena, maybe a play pen or a crib... at least something they can jump off... and let them fight to see who is the cutest.
A smart baby could throw the win, but scar the winning baby so although they had the win, everyone would know that they were infact the cutest as they would not look like they have been fighting...
yep... bored... now running out of things to say but I will just keep typing until som
My, this thread is starting to look like a Tasmanian old-growth forest. Timber!
ReplyDeleteI can reveal that in his deleted post Bombalomba expressed his deep and unabiding love and respect for you all. I guess he actually felt the need to delete it in case any of his 'foody' mates happened onto this thread. I don’t think expressions of love for anything but beer and the Game would go down too well at the Clubhouse. I could be wrong?
CK - What is your point of reference for puppies being synonymous with cuteness?
ReplyDeleteAnd if you’re deleting posts because they’ve got spelling mistakes, you might need to delete your last one for the third time and have another go, mate. (There’s an apostrophe missing too). I normally wouldn’t say anything, but you set the bar high for yourself when you made that first correction :-)
Max - Thanks for your affirmation. I always knew you were a man of discernment and refined sensibilities.
ReplyDeleteDags - Thanks for yours too. I don't think the issues under discussion here are inappropriate. Censorship in particular is a very important issue for young children to grapple with as it affects them directly. As Bart Simpson once asked, how are they supposed to become desensitised to violence if they're not exposed to it?
What is your point of reference for puppies being synonymous with cuteness?
ReplyDeleteFinally... back to the REAL issue at hand.
What is your point of reference for puppies being synonymous with cuteness?
ReplyDeleteThere are two types of people in this world.
1. People who think puppies are cute.
2. Apostropher.
I don't care how old Sam the dog is now, there's no way he was cute as a puppy.
ReplyDeleteCan I get a witness? :-)
And nothing, not even Winter, is cuter than
ReplyDeleteFluffy Bucket
Nothing except for this little marvel of course. Look at him! Fast asleep. Awwww!
ReplyDeleteAnd I think this little guy gives Fluffy a run for his money too. Weeeeeeee! :-)
ReplyDeleteand this is what happens when you post pictures of cute babies.... controversy!
ReplyDeleteYou know, I really think that only amongst my group of friends could a cute picture of a baby provoke controversy. Part of why I love 'em so much. :-)
