I find some people's posts pretty funny, but Archie is one of those guys that tried too hard with his humor. Him and bob Ross can come up with some good quips, but you have to put up with about 97 duds first. Hey, to each their own though. They can't all be "comedy gold". You've got to kiss a lot of frogs to find your prince.

And to be honest, Archie's quips are about worth what we paid for them.

If you're going to be the guy that drops in threads and contributes little other than a one-liner, then you need to have a high batting average. Otherwise, you should drop your quips down to 20% of your responses and focus on quality over quantity. Words to live by.

Last night I had a dream that there was a whole group of us sitting in a cafeteria, and Archie kept popping in with funny one-liners. I asked what he was doing there and he said his wife didn't mind if he hung out with YM on his lunch break. And he went back to eating his sandwich. I think that's a sign I spend too much time here... When I read the list of Kentucky derby horses and saw "We Miss Artie" I read it as "We Miss Archie"! I thought YM had sponsored a horse and I missed out...

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

I am finding it kind of wrong that people are talking about Archie while he can't defend himself. Not that he deserves better... wuss!

Or she wears nothing so he can be in this up-lifting condition that makes him unable to get close to the computer to type...does he have regular size hands or shorter than average man?

Call your father or husband or bf or boss! Tell them about us and maybe you will become...dishonored, divorced, dumped or fired. However it is better than just being 'sad'...

No, dear. Virgil is NOT the one you should be worried about. Virgil's Mensa side needs an outlet, that is all, and we are a captive audience, sort of.

Since you are wrong about that, I dismiss your argument in its entirety based on internet debate rule #4

Have we lost Carl too? Or is he just superbusy with moving to VT and the new house and all? The last couple pages of his house progress thread got, um, interesting and I haven't seen him back.

My guess is he is busy with the move and the new job. Or he can't get a wifi connection at the new place yet.
