Nice frickin shirt... (Page 6)

Without Googling it, what are 4 signs of turtle distress? 

Well, this thread got derailed from the T-shirt conversation....

Couple comments.  Switch, I agree.  The rules are probably a good thing, but there is always negatives like you mentioned.  Since people are not allowed to say what they might (which isn't always a bad thing).  People resort to snarky, semi hidden, passive aggressive comments instead in attempts to skirt the rules.  I guess under the pretense of "I didn't SAY that or MEAN that" - when they did.  I would rather be called a D-bag to my face, than some random comment that's obviously geared to me in some backhanded way.  It's insulting to think I don't know what they are talking about and cowardly.

I think the kid comment is a running joke (at least for me), that any time a topic gets heated there is SOMEONE bound to say something after they run out of arguments "well, you just don't get it."  Or "you don't have kids, so you don't understand", or "you never did an IM, so you don't know", etc.  Sometimes people DO have valid comments and to dismiss them by dropping the "you just don't get it"?  So I occasionally drop that "I must not get it" thing as a joke since it's bound to come out eventually.  I used to use that crappy "I don't know but I stayed at a holliday inn last night - then spit out a comment"  I can honestly say I have no clue who ever said the "you don't have kids so..." thing.  OR which thread(s).  But I do know it has come up several times, which always makes me chuckle.  Then you get someone's retaliation of "I teach school children but have none of my own so I don't know?" and the like.  Always goes downhill fast when someone feels dismissed or their opinion discounted.

About the cliques?  I guess that always happens.  People with similar ideologies hang out.  Which is FINE by me.  Surround yourself with like minded people, but just don't isolate yourself from others that may have differing opinions.  I like to think that I try to at least understand every side of an argument, even if I disagree with it.  At least try to understand  how they formed that opinion.  The problem with cliques or some of the "d-bags" on any side of an argument as Lisa mentioned is that "if you don't agree with me, I'll dismiss you as 'not getting it'".

I would wager that a lot of people that are at odds with each other, would probably get along well enough in real life.  The internet brings out the worst in people most of the time.  Not the best of them, unfortunately.

Back to the topic.  Those shirts are hilarious and awful at the same time.  I can imagine someone would put that shirt on their own kid - now another person's kid might be funny.  Could you imagine looking at your baby book when you grow up and see a picture of yourself in one of those shirts?

A clever T-shirt is always good for a laugh.  I guess in my old fogy ways, profanity or overly crass is just not funny.

Did you see the new one?  It says FBI   -  Female Body Inspector...  bwahahaha

Fine.....so you're a turtle owner....whatever.  Now I guess I can't have an opinion?

Rapid heart rate; sudden numbness on one side of its face; sharp pain in its left arm; making it to the middle of a 4 lane highway right before rush hour.

This is a pretty cool story.

And did anyone else see the story about a plane hitting a cow in Indonesia ?

Only thing right about that sentence is that you are a nobody!

Personally, the only point I think I've ever made on BT about the whole parents vs non parent advice is this. 

In my own experience, generally, NO ONE cares for unsolicited parenting suggestions. And even when advice is solicited, giving it as a point of shared experience usually helps it digest better. 

Also, there are a number of parents I know that I take with a grain of salt when they start throwing out their un-solicited parenting "expertise". Usually, they are the loudest, and their kids are a mess... 

Shirts and hats with FBI on them were very popular in the 90's.  Back then we said it stood for Female Booby Inspectors. 

Like I said before LB, you are a drama queen. 

I like the "female" part. It could carry several subtle innuendoes.

Maybe T-shirts are more powerful than I first imagined?

What a kerfuffle...

A T-shirt they sell, or used to sell, at The Alley on Clark said "F*** you, you F***ing F***". Makes me laugh every time and Beth almost bought it knowing she would never wear it. 

That is the craziest statement you have ever mumbled on this site!!!!!

Everyone knows Batman would totally win!
