Oh duh Sarah, obviously syruping and leafing is the Canadian version of tarring and feathering. I forgot about the syrup. Their version sounds much yummier and more enjoyable. :)

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: GO USA! : a) You started the "defensive much" with your first - incorrect - remark. b) I didn't say you were completely uninformed, reading comprehension much? I said, with regard to this game, you're clearly in the wrong, which you were as - reading comprehension fail again - I neither said I wanted the US to lose or that I thought there was an issue with the outcome. c) And I think you're the only one who found it funny, so again, maybe you'd like to go back and read, since you're clearly sucking at it thus far.
Posted by alixzafiris[/QUOTE]

a) My first remark wasn't a statement of fact, and therefore can be neither incorrect or correct
b) Stating that it wasn't a clean win implies that you have an issue with the outcome, whether it's accurate or not. And yes, you said I was uninformed. And you really need to come up with something else to say to people when you disagree with them but "reading comprehenison fail"
c) I really don't care if you think it's funny or not. I kinda just want you to STFU. You're awfully bent out of shape about this.

I'm awfully bent outta shape? Look at your entering comment into this thread, step down off your soapbox and STFU. Honestly, you look more and more like an idiot with every new post you add to this.

Everyone else has moved onto other things, but whatever, if you feel it necessary to take fifteen minutes to type out a paragraph, have at it. And where in the hell does thinking a match wasn't clean equate to disliking the outcome? It wasn't clean. Do I think the US should've lost? No. They played a better game, but neither side was clean. Until you can comprehend what's being said, you should maybe pipe down a touch.

sucrets4 · February 2010

And boo to BG for beating me to the mullet comment and boo to Kati for beating to the bf thread/syrup comment.

Yeah... no. I think they have three or four, but I couldn't tell you in what disciplines or how they're doing. I follow them in the Summer games, but in Winter it's Canada all the way.

Did you see that he also stepped on and over the Gold podium step to get to the silver, and gave a big impish grin about it? It's one of those "this just isn't done - EVER" Olympic things. I think he's a douchnozzle, personally.

I was going to ask where the c0ck and balls were. I thought they added an interesting and unique design element.

Since it's already been established that arguing with you is a nonending circle, I'll just say that, after I explained what I'd meant, her idiocy continued; so really, if me defending myself when someone completely misinterprets a clear statement and then stubbornly refuses to acknowledge that they did when it's explained yet again = bent out of shape, then I'm not the one streaming crazy here.
