Do you like me yet?
 

I can't seem to get any work done.
What did people do before the internet?

if you have to ask you have given your self the answer

Who let Al Franken in here?

I don't see what all the fuss is about, myself ... :neutral:

I like you now. Is this one of those threads where whoever says something nice gets bitten?

Where do I stand on Flint? You got to be joking.

ok

Stands on Flint ------->With spikey heels.

I've always liked James Coburn.

Though, TBH, Flint was not one of his best performances.

i wish i had more time to pay attention to him, but this 'life' thing keeps getting in my way.

lumberjim wishes we could all speak in the third person just for one day. he truly does. not enough to do it in just one thread, he would only be appeased if it were board wide. a movement. so that in laterdays, when he rereads any thread, he may find that little blip. that day where all dwellars spoke in the third person. If Flint could organize that, then, and only then, would lumberjim truly love him.

I've noticed Flint slipping up lately, accidentally participating in a near-serious manner in some threads, or at least being not completely annoying, insulting or obtuse and posting something approaching insightful and participative in the normal sense.

When those circumstances occur, I like him.

LJ - is it alright if I speak to just Flint in second person? Is that helpful at all?

no, it helps me not, for it is indistinguishable from mundane banter. verily, if thou dost not cherish the notion of third person discourse, mayhap thou wouldst prefer to all speak in tones and words of yesteryear? what sayest, ye? These things would I strive to accomplish, were I but bored as stiff as Flint portends to be. Alas, I'm too fucking busy. Cockest

Ibram would much appreciate the fun of an all-third-person day.

Zippyt is intreeged .

So is limey. Would lumberjim name the day?

Sundae Girl doesn't think that Flint has the gravitas to organise this. Only the most puissant LumberJim will suceed.

Sundae Girl will verily follow where he leads.

What ho! and well met! Brianna is now, more than ever, verily pleased with the turning of the season to speakest in thy holiest of tongues: third person, Renaissance Faire.

Spexxvet voted "other". HE FINDS FLINT TO BE AMUSING, ENTERTAINING, AND INTERESTING, BETIMES. Spexxvet asks what is love, what is hate?

Dost third person posting requireth archaic, nay, obscure utterances?

Only if Spexxvet so desires. Sundae Girl is amused by this and will therefore continue unless gently restrained by the opinion of her fellow posters.

And if Spexxvet restraineth you with shackles of chinchilla, and taketh thee to a dungeon?

dar thinks that Flint cares too much whether and what others think of him.

Aah, chinchilla handcuffs and dungeons speak to Sundae Girl Across the void that separates her and Spexxvet... She is quite overcome with emotion. At least that's what she thinks it's called.

:swoon:

oooooookay.

I got a nice 2 pound, 12 ounce flint two weeks ago and I really like it. I broke off a piece the size of my thumb to give to my friend. The piece he had for his flint and steel kit was sharp but thin and small, and broke so easily that he would soon have too little to strike a spark.

I will probably break up the flint into pieces smaller pieces and get some sections of 1/4" steel stock to make up some firemaking kits for the scouts. I made a mass of charcloth the other day, too. Now all I have to do is get hold of some oakum, although I could make do with some shredded/untwisted sisal.

That third person thing weirds me out. Let me know when you're all done.

Other.
Flint:
You're entirely too much wo/man for me. I can't take it. I'm lighting myself on fire whilst being launched, via catapult, to the moon because I'm overwhelmed by your presence(s) on the Intarwebnetutronicle.
Forsooth and verily, bitches.

i want to have flint's babies.






what's this about, anyway?

worthy of comment
 

Found? Bought? Stole? Got as gift?

Tell me about it a little. Is it a hobby for you to make flint stuff? Or do you simply have an interest in it? Ancestory?

or a smoke pole in V's case

I've heard "smoke my pole" before, but what's a smoke pole?

Bought from Ellensburg Agate and Bead. He had a whole box of it that he said he intended to make jewelry from, but it kept cracking on him. Those weaknesses were not a problem for me, since I intended to break it up rough anyway.

I have kept my eye out for some found materials, but much of the rock I have seen around here is basaltic or granitic (I'm not a geologist, as you can certainly tell), but I'm sure if I visited some other areas, perhaps rocky riverbeds, I could pick up some nice jasper or agate pieces. Those would be hard enough to do the job too.

flintlock rifle

Methinks Flint doth protest too much. About what, I knoweth not.

BigV, if you need flint, come to Missouri. We've got more frigging chert around here than you can shake a knapping tool at.

"Flint"
 

My family owns land in central Texas. My father grew up out there, in "the country." He always loved to go "arrow-head hunting" (searching for arrow-heads or arrow-head fragments on the ground, particularly after a good rain, or when the fields have been plowed). Over his lifetime, he has acquired a beautiful collection. I'll get a pic posted of his main display: his finest complete arrow-heads, layed out in a design, on felt, in a wall-hanging shadow box. He always wanted to name a child "Flint" and that was me. Flint.

Cool.

Those arrowheads would make a nice addition to the dodads thread. Or in this case, it would be a dad's dodad.

lumberjim thinkest that Flint doth shrink from this challenge. Lo, does he not believe in his own might? has he not discovered the 18 threads about Sandra Day Oconnor? This can be done, I say, and with no great cost of strength. Say on, Flint. Be thy shy? Or dost thy ignore this deed thou hast been charged with for some hidden reason? Art thou nittering? Hast thou sand in thy vagina?

If you can't find sisal use hemp.;)

Why is it that whenever I quit using drugs, everyone else starts back up again?

don't matter--you're funny both ways. :lol:

ok, now i like you

umm different website...different story? oh I forgot...different person. :smack:


I actually remember the original story. Haha that's funny.

I just wanted to say that I now officially like Flint. I attribute this more to a change in his posting style since the AudioGalaxy incursion than to any particular adaptation on my part, but still...I like him now, and that's what the thread asked, right?

Yeah, me too. I LOVES me some Flint.

Party on, Flint!

Thanks, I like you too. Of course, I never didn't like you.

I haven't changed. My posts-per-day hasn't decreased, the frequency of brief one-liner posts hasn't decreased, and conversely my frequency of actual substantive posts hasn't increased. If people start arguments with me, I will still pursue it to the bitter end. In fact the only difference in my posting is that I learned how to post images, and occasionally use smilies.

I propose that you've gotten to know me, and now "read" my "tone" in a more positive light.

I'll answer if you let me watch.

Ok... I like you.

@rkzenrage:
 

Something I've been meaning to say to you: Namaste'

Ooh, I don't believe you called him that!

ROFL

rkzenrage, king of the thread bombs

Don't make me....

the humping stomtrooper doesn't get me off anymore... I need something stronger

Sorta NSFW
 

Nice.
My wife now wears a 34-H.
That's A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H.

We had to go to a special lactation specialty store, on a hospital campus, to get those.

Ya know what? I kinda liked Flint better his first few days here.

Can't help ya' there dude....
