Oh I have no problem with bitching about bingowings not being here, it's bitching about bingowings himself that I'm bitching about. There's a difference.

I guess one of the reasons I don't is that I suck at humor. But I do believe there times and situations when wit, dry or otherwise, doesn't belong in political/relgious subjects. These can be very sensitive subjects sometimes one must proceed with caution.
I disagree. One of the main purposes of humor is to desecrate, one should be able to have a laugh even at very serious matters. Nothing should ever be "untouchable", because if you can't joke about X then you can't joke about Y, Z and so on. Then what?
I don't trust anyone who takes life too seriously.
If your faith/opinions are strong, no joke will bother you, small or big, tasteful or tasteless.

“Nobody has the right to not be offended. That right doesn't exist in any declaration I have ever read.
If you are offended it is your problem, and frankly lots of things offend lots of people.
I can walk into a bookshop and point out a number of books that I find very unattractive in what they say. But it doesn't occur to me to burn the bookshop down. If you don't like a book, read another book. If you start reading a book and you decide you don't like it, nobody is telling you to finish it.
To read a 600-page novel and then say that it has deeply offended you: well, you have done a lot of work to be offended.”http://www.renegademothering.com/2013/07/09/why-nobody-cares-that-youre-offended-and-they-shouldnt/

I'd like to bitch about bitching about bingowings in two different threads. One is more than enough!
fine I guess I shouldn't have said something about the Bingo petition thread here. I'm sorry. For now I on I will respond in the Bingo petition thread only.
But that thread is supposed to be cordial.
Well since people only want this in one thread, the bingo petition thread will have to do.
People don't want it in any thread. No one wants to read a bunch of botching 'bout Bingo.
It's alright if we bitch about how bingowings isn't here any more in this thread right?

EVERY THREAD IS NOW ABOUT BINGOWINGS
...the prophecy is coming to pass...!
I was once…but now I’m not… Further: zyzzogeton
“It wasn’t the flood that destroyed the pantry…”
I would like to bitch about the fact that I just lost a whole day to The Sims 3, I didn't expect to like the game. I figured I would start it and then kill my Sims in some insane way, but now I can't stop playing it.
HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET ANYTHING DONE IN REAL LIFE WHEN FAKE LIFE IS SO MUCH MORE FUN?!!!
I was wondering where you had gotten to... ;-)

Cocaine?
Such an expected line...
^^ Well done.
Acid's a better drug. It distorts reality enough to make it seem worthwhile.
But it wouldn't help DrCrow get things done in real life. Might help him get things done in his mind though.

Yes but if real life is only what our mind tells us it is, then isn't getting things done in your mind the same as doing them in real life?
So are you saying you would like to do acid? Because I have to say... imagining you on acid is quite hilarious. (and I assure you I don't mean that in a demeaning or disrespectful way toward you at all)
Well I just finished reading Alice in Wonderland for the first time since I was a kid, so I figure acid will be a nice sober step down from that high.
You should have done them both at the same time, man!
Yeah that would have sent me so high I would be the first man to walk on Mars.
First HUman maybe.

Some get a kick from cocaine
I'm sure that if
I took even one sniff
That would bore me terrically, too
Yet, I get a kick out or you

Are we just singing Frank Sinatra songs now?
I can see it in your eyes
That you despise the same old lies you heard the night before
And though it's just a line to you, for me it's true
And never seemed so right before

Have we sent up some dogs I didn't know about. If so how are they doing?
