I think the term is "plumb" or "true" when boasting about one's tools. Measure twice. Or even three times.

Next to this thread there has been some correspondence through personal message that has convinced me to stay. I hope that this thread can continue on topic, regardless of how interesting a discourse on saggy tits might be..

Like I've said before, I hold no personal grudges towards anyone. My primary problem was - not as some have suggested a question of ego - but a distrust in the actions of the administration. My confidence has been restored, to put it shortly, and thus I'm ready to move forward. Thanks for the kind words.

But I would be much more interested in your opinions about saggy tits or who was the best between Kirk and Picard. I think you have much to offer in these important fields of study. :hehe: :cheers:

I just have a sneaking suspicion that Kirk's tits are saggier than Picard's. I could be entirely wrong, as I never really knew Picard intimately.

The thing is its all relative, it depends on the observer.
Those of my generation remember Kirk as he really really was (as in the Kirkness).
To us, Picard will only ever be what a replacement and big budget does to real adventure.

Glad you're back. You really shouldn't distrust the staff here. We can usually be relied upon to fuck up in the most novel and inappropriate ways with the very best of motives. Pretty much the most one can expect from any management. :biggrin:

Now, I've heard there's an oak tree with a dodgy epistem around here somewhere. Go paint some saggy tits on it, or whatever you philosophers do. :tea:

By the way Compte, or Serpenti, or whatever your name is, - nice to see you back, you asshole you.

And I confess to writing one of the PMs to get you to stay. But only because I wanted a whipping boy who could give me a run for my money.
