Snag & American descent

[Unregistered]

Say Ron - I just read the PC SB's assault on your "definition of 'just American' descent" under the Bigger and Better thread. I thought I'd just start another, since, like my 'weather' topic, it's all getting a bit long and tiresome.

Anyhow I want to lodge a complaint. You failed to mention my Bongo-Bongoian American great-half-uncle Woodbridge E. Z. Bart, who once ran a burger stand. Does he have to run a steakhouse to qualify as an American? What have you got against hamburger joints? Don't you know that Bongoians are sensitive to anti-burger speech? Obviously there's a previously unknown politically incorrect streak in you.

Kind of risky mentioning anything nowadays without consulting your lawyer, isn't it? In trying to comply with PC rules in a perfectly innocent way by mentioning the "main" groups (wonder if it's okay to say that?), you managed to offend that dope by not mentioning half the world's population. I hope they don't pick him/her (how's that?) as host for the Academy Awards or he/she will be thankin' him/her all-inclusive from the star all the way back to Genesis (...and Abraham begat Abraham II who begat Britney). Gotta get 'em all.

Guess we'll just have to not mention anything to stay out of trouble. It's quite annoying that those folks have appropriated half the language now and are telling us what we can and cannot say, although I'm pretty sure it's okay for me to call this person an SB (or should it be DB?) because they don't object to cussin' or porn; just "improper" speech.

Still, we must not allow a steakhouse gap. Is it too early to call it "steakgate"? To demand a federal investigation of this glaring omission? To get Jesse involved? Stay tuned.

By the way, what do they have against Italians? Have they watched "The Godfather" too many times? Let's investigate them.

Yours truly,

"Concerned" and "disturbed" Bart

Bart,

There's a remember me box

Sandy

When you log out you have to log in again (or could then just open the threads and would be posting as a guest), but if you just close your browser- then, if you've checked the 'Remember Me' box, the program will open with you already signed in.

Thanks

Hi Abby,

How are you???

I must have remember me checked as I hate to log in. It was just a question to Bart, as sometimes he logs in and sometimes he doesn't.

How are your extensions coming???

I really don't know how I get in without being signed in. It just automatically asks me to sign in every time and I do, but if I compose a harangue that takes very much time, then when I hit "submit," it tells me that I am not signed in. Brad told me how to fix this timed-out problem earlier, but I don't really want to (or know how to) compose something over in MS Word and transfer it here, which is what he said I could do. Actually, it seems like I can post for a longer time without killing off my log-in name by "previewing" the post. Maybe that qualifies for the necessary "activity" to keep from being timed-out.

You could learn to type faster, or think faster, or both. Drink more coffee.

I'm sorry. I just assumed everyone uses a word processor. Try this: Type your message in MS Word. Then take your mouse and click at the beginning or end of your text and drag it across all of your text. Once it is all highlighted, right click on it and choose "copy." Then go to the message board, log in, click on post a response, and then right click somewhere in the box and choose "paste." Everything you highlighted from your word doc should now be pasted in the message board.

If you already know how to do this, sorry for stating the obvious. I am such a poor speller that I can't trust myself not to use Word first before posting a message.

total prejudice

You Copy & Paste people think you are all so fine. It's just total prejudice the way you never talk about Drag & Drop.

American Descent

..yeh Bart, I knew when I put that out there that those who are preoccupied with such would take up their cross of political correctness and start whacking away.

Thank goodness the topics are restricted to taxes on this board, right? Otherwise I would have been in real trouble...

Actually, I swing both was on the copy & paste vs. drag & drop. I started off as a Mac user, then switched to PC, but still use the Mac way of opening windows instead of the PC way of using Explorer. I refuse to use Explorer.

Hope nobody is offended by my dissing Explorer.

I think the only thing that's obvious is that I don't know what I'm doing. I'll work on that "think faster" angle, but between your contribution and Jainen's I believe I've got it figured out. Let's see now, I proceed thusly: Cut my paste and drop dead. Wasn't that what y'all recommended?
