Yeah, but could she make a thread title appear differently for every member based on a random hash generated by their username? I think not. Virgil wins again! My mother thought that computers were the work of Satan, so you win, Virgil!! Let's face it: If that caused her to spend her life loving, working, reading, meditating, drinking in of nature instead of staring at a glowing rectangle for hours a day, she wasn't missing anything. There's something inherently special and fascinating about people who eschew the use of technology, regardless of whether or not their misgivings are well-founded. In short, I hope you loved and respected your mother, quirks and all.

Ladies do not sweat. We perspire. And it smells like a mixture of lavendar and subtle vanilla. The ladies don't smell as bad as the men, I'll admit. How about "No...and I mean NO." to the question "Have you ever told your child you love them?" Some might say your parenting might need a little brush-up. They might say that, but they'd be wrong. I don't have kids. I think God knew I'd mess them up pretty badly.

...and the whole thing wasn't (entirely) predicated upon the lame snowleopard shtick?

She spent her days in the forest, picking berries, wild mushrooms and birdwatching. I adored her.

Your praise was appreciated, and I'm not ignoring your pleas, but I figured it was time to change it up. Give the masses something fresh. You'll probably have to wait until April Fool's Day for something snow leopard related. Thanks for your enduring support, Virgil

Snow leopards? Never heard of them. If you're ever walking by a zoo, and you suddenly feel a horrid, sickening feel in your gut, like the feeling you'd get if you were on an overpass and you saw a toddler charging toward a busy freeway below, his mother preoccupied, that clenches your heart and saturates you with an awareness that something terrible has or is going to happen... ...that's them.

Virgil, if they have done it frequently, you should ask if they ever open a can with their tooth.

Gotcha! Sort of like watching the most recent election results...only less terrifying.

Well that would make you throw up something green . . . but the question has now changed. Yes, I respect my mother. She's a wonderful woman. Why am I always a few days late to these threads? A day late and a dollar short . . . . that's my life.

LOL snowkitty . . . the thread title seems to change everytime I refresh my browser. I should try the other browser and see what happens. But I have no time to play now. Perhaps this weekend or later tonight.

Is a snow leopard ever a "kitty"? If you found one on the Florida Keys would it still be called a "snow" leopard if there never is any snow? If people who live and wander about on beaches become beachbums would that make a snowleopard doing the same thing a "beach"leopard, or if they preyed on humans , perhaps a leopard beach b---- ? Or, in leopardspeak....so many humans....so few recipes?

Well they are white, sort of like all the snowbirds you get every winter. (snowbirds being the term they call the retired people from the northern cold states who flee to florida or texas every winter.) But unlike the snowbirds, I don't think the leopards will tan with the sunlight. LOL slow running humans on beaches . . . .. . it's what snow leopards call a smorgasboard.

No, I never did dance with any of my pets. The question depresses me because I miss my male cat Blaze so much. Oh, well, at least I got to spend a lot of time with him during the last couple of months of his life.

Alright, Virgil, If you're so smart and powerful, why am I always asked the same two questions. I have answered both btw. You are making me bored.

You should only have seen one, unless you logged in as a guest or using a different account. The question displayed is generated randomly based on your username. The gimmick would've been too obvious otherwise. I did add in a header component that allowed you to view the page as different members, but it's no longer there...? ETA: Fixed it.

I've never noticed a different header on this thread - which might explain why I was baffled when catseye suddenly posted something about dancing with pets when the title clearly says "Have You ever Ridden a Bicycle?"

Virgil isn't sane. He reminds me of the character Sheldon on the TV show The Big Bang Theory (which I love).

I've never noticed a different header on this thread - which might explain why I was baffled when catseye suddenly posted something about dancing with pets when the title clearly says "Have You ever Ridden a Bicycle?" Half of the questions are obvious yeses, and half are emphatic nos. I'd hoped that the answers would be general enough that they'd be outrageous when read by members of the opposite 'side'. For example, if you replied, "Yes, since I was five. And who hasn't?", and the person viewing the page sees the question "Have you ever licked your cat's paws?" But people's answers tended to include a lot of detail and exposition, and so the prank was more confusing than it was scandalous. It's one of those things where you never know what will happen until you try it. I did get some good laughs, but half of those were from Weltz on the first page, struggling to make sense of madness. She was a good sport.
