3 Rules For Safe Posts (aka, What Not To Say While Drunk)
« on: November 01, 2012, 10:04:50 PM »
If you are drinking and feeling like posting some opinions about something. Sometimes it is best to stop and reconsider some things before you inadvertently call someone, a friend perhaps, a jack@ss.

This "free" flow of opinions can sometimes lead to embarrassment, regret and loss of friends.

Here are 3 simple things that you should ask yourself before you press the "Enter" key.

If the answer to any one of these questions is "no"... wait until they are all "Yes".. (aka,, the next day)

1 - Does this need to be said?
2 - Does this need to be said by me?
3 - Does this need to be said by me,, right now?

Just a "tip" that I probably should have waited to post.  ;D ;D

You think someone who is drunk is capable of such serious and considered thought?

Ha!  Good luck with that one  ;D  ;D

It's not how much you drink, or how often you drink, it's what happens to you when you drink.

It is strange that I could read every word of that in the same manner as if it were spelled correctly, without hesitation. Odd but true.
There is a 5th dimension,beyond that which is known to man.It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity,between science& superstition,& it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge.This is the dimension of imagination.It is an area which we call PCLINUXOS!

And Oh Yeah Joe! :D ;D

Sometimes I could.
Sometimes I can't.

Just anybody - tell me where, or if, or how, - I am wrong posting e.e.eh, uh.m.m.m, drunk.
I, as I'm feeling guilty, think Rudge wrote this for me? :'( :'( ;D

True - it is easy - but some other forums if you even typo a single word they suddenly can't understand the whole post.  The mind can understand it but the emotion will often veto.  by the way that is the way I write free hand without my spell check, so I was thinking I could read it because it was done in my native language.  ;D
