and I'm not going to tell you guys when I do.

but you must

In the interest of science, experiments and results must be published.

"pshaw, screw science" you say?

<take 2>

For the benefit of every one of your deglutenized colleagues, anecdotes of cheating and its consequences, or lack thereof, can provide CRUCIAL information.

(or, for YOUR benefit, don't ffffff arkin cheat at ALL!!)

Even Johnny Cochrane says "if you do the test, you must confess"!!!

The reckless feckless femme is most uncooperative!

I didn't want to resort to this.

"Men!! Lose the cats & reload the array of catapults w/ carp!!"

"Did 'e say we're to fling poop?"

" 'e said CAAAAAAAAARP u orally dyslexic twit!"

"But we're OUT of carp! I was at The Carp Shop & and the sillywalking man said it was runny AND that the cat's eaten it!"

"Try the Pet Shop"

"Blimey I did!! Some bloke was goin' on about a parrot he'd killed!"

"Would a cow work?"

and now for something COMPLETELY similar

"Are the trout in the trebuchet?"

P.S. Now I might be conflicted in the moments the : rolleyes : emoticon used to seem appropriate! Since I don't choose using the little pictures, I'd only use it to signify actual eye-rolling!

Have I underestimated the versatility of the humble ?

[nikki-uk]

Ptaum's post's are back to their old self I see !!! (well my head hurts anyway)

YES !! Susie, you will be 'the coeliac canary in the proverbial mine'

But !! - we really need you have bloods/biopsies before/during and after

No amount of pisceneslapping can stop me!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mon dieu!!! Will nothing stop you !!

<--- THIS is the emoticon I think is most confusing for people - - to me, it means verklempt with glee - - but I've seen others use it when they are rolling their eyes (at a useless doctor, for example)...but to me, it looks really happy, like it would be clapping its hands with joy at some newfound gluten-free delicacy, perhaps? WHAT SAY YOU

To me, he's saying ''Good grief !!'' with exasparation -- rolling eyes to ceiling, absolutely no hand clapping glee involved at all madam.

Oh -- and very pertinent questions to Daughter of the Light ..... I anticipate the reply.

[elye]

Yep, I gotta side with you on this one, Nikki..." " means, "Good grief!" or "What an idiot!"....no--I take that one back, as he's got a little smile, suggesting good-natured deprecation. More like "Isn't that just silly?" Nope, that little guy doesn't stymie me like . Or how about this guy?---> WTH is HE saying? "I feel adorable?" "I am sleeping as I type?" Hmmmm. Then there's his lesser called-upon cousin . An archetypal foil? Too many little faces, and not nearly enough time!!

Carla! Nice new pic!

Thanks, it looks more like me because I seldom go to the trouble to straighten my hair like the old avatar.

I think it looks like someone who got caught ... "Yeah, it was me who ate the whole bag of cookies."

I'm not really keeping up, my brain just cannot process this stuff right now ... you know, they say that when learning a foreign language, learning the humor can be the hardest part ... It also seems it's the first thing to go when your brain goes on vacation. I just wish I knew where it was so I could join it .... I won't make it come back to Ohio, I'll just go wherever it is.

[DingoGirl]

, :lol: !

well said, Jess.

I think it looks like someone who got caught ... "Yeah, it was me who ate the whole bag of cookies."

I must kindly beg to differ, I think the emoticon used in taht case is this one ---> which, to me, signifies shame, also fear, but most of all, guilty admission.

Sounds like the reverse of the out-of-body experience. And dang, those are just so fleeting, aren't they, and never as much fun as you'd hoped they'd be... :lol:

True, but I'm talking about admitting something you're not ashamed of. This one is more like you're hiding.

Yeah, exactly. My brain is having an out of body experience.

[tom]

Aww Dingy . . . . .no further discussion of the "and I'm not going to tell you guys when I do." ????

<tom's afraid that means it's a done deal>

Seriously Susan (you can tell it's serious when I write 'susan' ) - every single one of us worries about CC and what the effects might be. (<--- his very NAME is ph34r, aka fear!!)

You are in a unique position to supply this silly little community w/ valuable info.

*I* think that if you really think about it, you'll realize you're too much of a humanitarian to withhold info as valuable as this.

Now . . .. . . .do I have to end every post w/ another plea to not poison yourself or can we just stipulate it?

What? you're having soy? and you're worried about MY cheating?

Umm, you are kidding, right?

[elye]

I still say that little guy signifies bank robbery, oppressed sect or Martin Brodeur, none of which I ever want to suggest. Well, maybe Brodeur...he can make his way into my conversation anyyyyy time.

Susan, do NOT cheat knowingly! Off with the silly hat, on with the support/counselling one (Ow...hurts my head...does not fit)

BTW, my son appeared this morning with the worst bed-head I have ever seen. Incredible, and I thought, "Now wouldn't that be a challenge...to depict that via emoticon."..

Something like this...

[blueeyedmanda]

Anybody got any good jokes today? This is by far one of the roughest days ever.

Tom, you joke. You would be slumped, totally disinterested in our Ptaumfoolery had you been partaking the evil soy.

[DingoGirl]

susie is quite pleased with the clever use of emoticons.

[ <---- used in this case to signal glee ]

Amanda - - perhaps inventing a new emoticon hairdo, or pondering the Care Bears with machine guns could cheer you today?

...and ENOUGH stalling for me. Must wash windows and tend to many other tee-jus chores. BAH!

[CarlaB]

Nope, sorry, you'll just have to go look at the orange haired troll on your workmate's desk.

Tom, you joke. You would be slumped, totally disinterested in our Ptaumfoolery had you been partaking the evil soy.

Yeah, he'd be that grumpy old man who doesn't let little kids cut through his yard again ... I think he's wanting to be reminded of when he first joined the forum ...

Oh, I have the curly hair, too ... very interesting hairdos in the morning, that's for sure!! And you can't brush curly hair when it's dry, so the only solution is a hat or water.

[nikki-uk]

For Amanda:

A man went into a bar after work and ordered a beer. As he started drinking his beer, he heard a female voice saying seductively, 'You've got nice hair'.

The man looked all around him but couldn't see where the voice came from.

A minute later he heard the same voice saying,

'You are a handsome man.'

The man was really puzzled by this so he asked the barman what was going on.

The barman replied, 'It's the nuts - they're complimentary.'

[tom]

What? you're having soy? and you're worried about MY cheating?

Oh but it tastes-eses so good!!!

And it's just a small amount. And I only sometimes vomit a little. So what's the harm?

I'm not gonna worry about your cheating. You'll be as well as you want to be. I mean, c'mon . .. .. Susie's gonna do what Susie's gonna do.

The part I'm ready to harp endlessly on is that the rest of us may as well learn from your st. .. . ..uhhh .. . . .recklessness let's say.

[DingoGirl]

The barman replied, 'It's the nuts - they're complimentary.'

And it's just a small amount. And I only sometimes vomit a little. So what's the harm?

okay - FYI - - the small vomit happened due to the RICHNESS of the foods - extremely uncustomary for me. Tollhouse cookies w/ real butter, and then FRIED CHICKEN??? a NON-celiac would vomit.....trust me.

okay Tom - - we are going to LET GO of the topic of Susie's cheating now. and, this is exactly why I shall not mention it again - - it just keeps coming up (like the burps after a doUGHnut binge!)....

can we PLEASE talk about something more important for God's sake, like the Care Bears with machine guns???????????????????

Thanks I needed that. We are preparing for an audit at work tomorrow, since we do clinical trials, every 2 years the Cooperative Group comes to audit. This is my first audit so I am a little stressed...nervous...you name it.

...or the pony-tail, something I resort to OFTEN

[TriticusToxicum]

There is no cheating allowed on this thread

Indeed. Do we need to remind you that Open Original Shared Link?
