Um, just curious, why doesn't McCain support the troops?

[Brassmask]

Why does he hate America?  What's wrong with his lapel?

I believe McCains tie outweighs Obama's pin.

Yeah If you are a dodderring old fool that like to wear sideways peppermints.

[Amianthus]

Really, Knutey, you got nothing better to do with your time other than threadcrapping?

Why thank you Mr Pot!

[richpo64]

The question is, why is Barry wearing the pin?

Another flip-flop?

[BT]

Knutey must think slam Saturday was a weekly occurrence.

It isn't.

[Amianthus]

Speaking of weekly occurrences, can we start up the weekly chats again? I miss 'em.

I'd be willing to host if you aren't.

[richpo64]

Ditto.

Let's chat.

OK, I've setup a chat area on "ChatNet" for us. I've reserved a room name so that others cannot come and trash us.

List of software for use with Internet Relay Chat (IRC) servers
List of ChatNet servers

Once you've installed some IRC software, you can test your connection to any of the ChatNet servers (all of them will carry the channel, and relay the chat between the various servers). Once you've connected to the server, the channel name is #3DHS - typically type "/join #3DHS" and it should log you into the channel. Also, you can try registering your preferred nickname using their nick registration command, you can get instructions by typing in "/nickserv help register". If someone already has registered your nickname, you'll have to try something else. But once you get it registered, no one will be able to use it (as long as you login at least once every 45 days).

As an alternative to installing IRC software, there is a Java web client at http://chat.chatnet.org/, though I don't know how good it is.

Let's tentatively say Wednesdays at 21:30 US/Eastern? I'll post a reminder during the day sometime. Feel free to test out the features of IRC in the meantime. If you need any help getting setup, let me know.

Please do hurry and get a room. This is getting far too sweet .
This comment has nothing to do with Saturday, an d even non-lovers must see that it is true.

I've already told you; just because you have a schoolgirl crush on me does not mean that you're my type or that I'm interested in you. Please go away.

=========================================
I believe that this might just be the silliest thing you have ever said.

Can you quantify this into units of common measurement?

One patriotic tie = five patriitic pins, for example.

I did not notice either. Curiously, I did not deem either to be worth noticing. I don't think I do now, either.

If they showed up in US Olympic tracksuits, I imagine I would have noticed that, or if they had both been nekkid.

The pin is about 1 square inch. A patriotic tie is about 30-45 square inches. You do the math.

You'll have to ask Brass why the pin and the accompanying snark were worth posting.

[Xavier_Onassis]

They were both wearing soldier bracelets. Thatr has to be worth something, too.
