Unless there actually is caffeine in the soap, in which case send it to Scatter. Guy can't get enough of the jittery stuff.

[Sean]

Where's the caffeine in that?

OH, right... I'm a preacher-like blowhard who wouldn't lift a finger for anyone else unless there's something in it for me! Of course!

But I'll break with tradition -- instead of you sending me anything, I'm going to send you a big bottle of 'just let it go'.

What.... no smilies with this message, Mike?   

While I have no negative opinion regarding your generosity, the speech on how to 'ask for help' properly here was just BRUTAL.  Please, no more of those.  I have no problem dropping anything... just no more silly speeches.  It was quite unnecessary.  Somebody had actually contacted me off the board to help before you even wrote that.  I would have been totally OK had nobody responded or offered to help... nobody is bound to offering any help... but for the other guy to get steamed (he actually intimated that he was holding back some angrier responses) or for you to tell me how to ask for help here.....  You've GOT to be kidding.  And let me now thank here the folks who contacted me privately in such a positive manner.  I appreciate it as well as appreciate zombiehorror's effort.

How 'bout some Herbaria Coffee Soap?  That rascallion, Scatter, will have to pick a flavor (or is it SCENT?)-------and I'll send it right to him.  He can forward the soap box to you, then... JUST KIDDING

I'm drinking some now...........and I've got an IV backup.

[Scatter]

OK guys.......it's just a misunderstanding. There were no bad intentions on either side. It was an innocent post looking for ideas which should have been a fun little brainstorming session.

[mike c]

WHOA, whoa, whoa... it's cool Scatter, I didn't even think there was a serious misunderstanding here this whole time, I thought we were all joking around in the subtle way some of us do. Now I see what's wrong...

Sean, I'm sorry, but wow... are you labouring under the idea that I was really very serious about anything in that OBVIOUSLY 'brutal speech' (except for the bra idea which I will always say is a weird but cool idea)?

I mean, in my next response I actually wrote 'But I AM deadly serious about the bra idea', which I thought might have made it clear that everything else I'd said was just a lark. Sorry I didn't make it more clear, we could've gone on to other things.

I was OF COURSE being silly... the hysteria and importance should have (I had thought) made it fairly obvious. Certainly I wasn't trying to tell you how to ask for anything here (though I know we all agree the UMA's a generous place), I was being dramatic for the sake of getting a snicker out of a negative response. I figured the total lack of similar hysteria in any of my subsequent posts would have let everyone know I was in for a lark.

Obviously, without enough smilies, I was wrong.

Even my latest comment about me being a blowhard, etc., wasn't any more serious than my joking with Scatter about caffeine, which is why I put the line about letting it go at the end, because it was beginning to dawn on me that you were bothered for real by what I'd been writing (and yes there should have been a smiley there, I thought I'd typed it).

I see I didn't do a very good job of keeping the humor in my barbs more obvious.

I have a feeling if this had all happened in a face to face hang-out, things would've been completely different.

'Course then, we'd have come up with band names we simply wouldn't deign to put on the UMA.

Why it became something else with anyone, I'll never know.

Now back to the Herbaria Coffee Soap.... they have like a dozen or more scents! (For you, Scatter, that would be 'FLAVORS').

That's OK, Mike.  You flipped out once because of something disparaging I wrote in jest about Paul Williams.    I had to explain that I was only kidding.

The problem with written words, you can't always write, nor can always be seen, the tongue planted firmly in the cheek.

NOW then, though I still say designed logos are kinda 'meh', I hope you did get something nice that worked for your cousin.

My dreams of a band that has ladies undergarments dangling from their instruments will have to wait to come true another day...

Paul Williams??



Who could POSSIBLY denigrate Paul Williams?? I mean..........hasn't nature done enough??

    I bet Nana Lee would take offense to that.  No love and light for YOU, Scatter!

[Scatter]

OK I'll bite.............who or what is a Nana Lee??

[Unknown Primate]

Yo Scattermania, I think Sean is referring to who the autograph is signed to.  Looks like "Nanalee" to me.

Yeah... UP is right on it.  It's just the inscription on the photo.
