Wait, so what is the incorrect usage of "rubric"? Working in education, I use that word (correctly) on a daily basis.

Oh, and Marty... Wait until the guy leaves for the day and restart it for him. :)

When you correct an Ebay seller and they reply rudely and tell you you are conspiring with someone else so they block you from bidding but they still use your information in the description. :?:
WTF :!: :?:

I quit doing that about two months after I began looking at eBay (in the late 90's, I'm thinking). It just isn't productive.
It's just about as productive as drawing everyone else's attention to an auction item on which you yourself are interested in bidding.
yup, not helping anyone anymore :evil:

In Tulsa, it being the current meth capitol, we have been told that one of the symptoms of use is bad teeth.

AAAAAGH! This was supposed to appear right under the previous post. Not on a new page.
So there's a gripe.

I've got to post in this thread just so I can reach 10,000...
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

My gripe is about those who pad their post count to look more muscular, masculine and attractive to the female types.

HAHAHA!!! Congratulations, sir. May you quickly become poster No. 2. I have held that shameful position for too many years now! 8)
How quickly you give up on being #1. :roll: :)

I forget who is behind me, but I'm solidly at #11. Really hoping to not end up in the top 10.

Could be worse...they could be encouraging people to become TubeNet addicts and that could lead to tubas in convenience stores which would block the aisles to the "Big Gulp" dispensers!

Just broke a molar in half eating popcorn.
I got five gold ones. I am invincible. I always have a jumbo Si Robertson style tumbler with ice at work. Me and the metal teeth are a veritable snow cone machine.

Why must people bring up old, dead topics? Or ask about items being available when they are clearly sold?
