NYC:The truth on bar smoking ban

Times Argus ^ | 3-4-05 | Amy McCloskey

[The Mayor]

I agree..

[Just another Joe]

Askel, did you forget your sarcasm tag?

[SheLion]

She's just trolling for an argument. It's best to ignore her. That way she can go "sell crazy someplace else"

Thanks guys!  I appreciate the help. 

And that is a SHE?  Goodness.  Must be Miller time. heh!

[Askel5]

Not at all.

Just for a moment, pretend that only the smoke-free conversations could have lawfully transpired. If there was smoking inside, it didn't happen.

For that matter, just remove for a week from the forum any and all who smoke.

Zzzzzzzz zzz zz zz zzzzzz.

[Madame Dufarge]

smokers are nothing but trouble.

Could you define "trouble," please?

[Askel5]

I'm an ugly hateful person?

Gee ... that means a lot coming from you and Dubya (who has spotted me as trolling for argument).

Why not try reading my post again? I'm not quite as mind-numbing literal as most around here these days.

(As an assist, in case you still don't "get it" ... my point is that a smoking ban is a great way to crack down on public gatherings of FReeper sorts who -- more often than not -- smoke like chimneys. This way, we succumb or we skulk around like the social pariahs we are.)

Hope that helps.

I"m tellin ya kiddo, adopt a vice or two besides the gay cause and you'll be surprised how much more you'll enjoy life.

Funny thing about sex, after a real good roll in the hay, that cigarette is soooooooo good!! Try it, you'll like it.

[Just another Joe]

Yeh, but the comment could, I say could, be construed a different way.

[Askel5]

=== Could you define "trouble," please?


Exhibit "A" == "Askel5, (Still a) Smoker"

[Judith Anne]

I'm with you. NOT exactly a normie, bless her heart.

[Just another Joe]

I know what you mean but not everyone knows you well enough to know how you meant it.

[Askel5]

That's the one time I don't smoke, actually ... when I'm wanting to kiss someone instead.

[Just another Joe]

She, you've misconstrued Askel's comment.
I know her personally. She's a smoker.

She's saying that if you take away the smokers you take away those liberty loving troublemakers.

[Askel5]

That much is obvious.

What a bunch of uptight pantywaists. I thought these folks were smokers?

I still think even those educated in public schools ought to be able to figure out the first post ... whether they know me or not.

(It's because they "think" they know me that they react so ... sad but true.)

[SheLion]

I'm just shaking my head here. It's like "What??"

[Askel5]

=== She's saying that if you take away the smokers you take away those liberty loving troublemakers.


Let me buy you a drink (will you be around in June?) for your help as Translator.

(My best to your wife.)

[Madame Dufarge]

Aaah!

I see.

Obviously, your subtlety escaped me.

[Neets]

You have to know her.

Her posts are confusing, but once you study it long enough, you can figure it out.

[SheLion]

She's saying that if you take away the smokers you take away those liberty loving troublemakers.

Thanks, Joe! I thought I lost my English faculties. :) .

[Neets]

I'm not talking about just kissing, silly!!!

You are doing well I trust?
