One does not usually find titles to individual LV posts, but anyway, this one is titled:Kaffen wrote:OK, I'm missing the joke here. I'm not finding "Tormparpt" and the interesting reading. Someone, please direct me to the exit?Cloud Mountain wrote:It would take you to notice that. Very perceptive.earthcalling wrote:So far, Tormparpt's reading is my favourite. I love the way he/she/it deliberately (at least, I hope deliberately) mispronounces 'bird', but somehow manages to get away with it.
Answer to Kaffen's Recent Post, or, No Exit
Apologies. The "exit" you're looking for is the entrance. As we all know there are often misunderstandings in list-serves and BB's and forums and such, because it's difficult to catch nuances. So, people sometimes misinterpret, conflating nastiness and sarcasm and good-naturedness and tomfoolery and simplemindedness and looniness and foots in mouths andwhateverelse. Misinterpretation is not uncommon. We're ALL a good muncha folks here. Those that aren't are surreptitiously requested to listen to 45 minutes of TBOL3 reading LV stats.
A helpful hint on the LV Forums is: If CloudMountain's involved and it doesn't make sense, it's surely a joke of some kind (or a sad attempt at such.). He's as subtle as the sands of the Sahara and his humor as hollow as a Pre-Cambrian Cabernet. He means well, but gets carried away. There are several others here that can't seen to, well, keep their mouth's shut either. Remember, LV's not only addictive, it's also therapeutic. CM's unpredictable and sometimes it's hard to catch on. There are some, like Monsieur EarthCalling, who treat CM's messages as Easteregghunts. When one is found, they volley them back, usually waiting for the egg to reasonably rot before returning it. (BTW: The dead giveaway in the list of contributors was the long list of illiterative names. (Surely an improbably occurance. (Although once we had 53 readers with the name Bob and none of them would settle for anything less than (or more than) "Bob" as a username. (It was a mess for awhile.) We solved the problem by adding a b to the end of each new user.) It became very time consuming counting all the b's.) I don't have to tell you...) [Think I left out a closed parenthesis somewhere.]
All in good fun.
