We should hereafter codify epic thread backfires as a boomerang (v).

Aren't you basically just admitting that you are a troll, and this is a troll thread?
Are your serious? Do you think this is some deep thinking, policy oriented, partisan thread that has implications that will affect us all?

I'm flabbergasted that any company out there would even take the time to create a likeness of Obama in a quest to sell cremation urns. Whether it's an example or whether it's all they sell makes no difference. It's a bizarre concept and utilizing Obama's likeness in order to sell them makes it even stranger. Some may even think it denigrating to the office of the Presidency.

You can get an Obama likeness if you wish, you can get a likeness of anyone you want if you have the money to plunk down. Charles, and evidently you too feel that this thread is some kind of affront to the president you worship so much. You are too thin skinned.

The thread was created because I can't believe any company would actually create these. Hence my statement,

Un
Fucking
Believable

Why in the world would I take time out of my busy day to read the site? There is a cremation urn created in the likeness of Obama. It's bizarre, it's strange, it could perhaps even be classified as macabre. It does not require any reading because I knew all I needed to know when I saw they made them. That it is an example of what they make is irrelevant because one may purchase one fashioned after Obama if they wish.

Read back through the thread and you will see that a number of left leaners in this forum made humorous remarks regarding this thread. They got what the thread was all about. You however, have your panties in a twist. The problem lies with you and there is nothing I can do to help you in that regard. I give you the same advice I gave Charles, you're taking life too seriously.

If the thread bothers you this much I suggest you take it to a higher authority. Remember that the thread has existed for three days now (which I find pretty incredible) so it's not ruffling any important feathers.

Serious discussion now has its own forum. That's the place to have the type of discussion a serious thinker like yourself desires and is no doubt worthy of. This forum is the lower tier. You may want to consider that it is beneath you to be here and to move on into the highbrow area where you can soar with the eagles instead of rooting around with the turkeys. You'll be a happier man.

So you don't have time to read the actual site you linked to, but you do have time (out of your "busy day") to draft this inane wall of text?

You are a truly worthless troll, and one of the many reasons this forum has become a soiled toilet bowl. I have been a member of this forum since the day it began, and it frustrates me greatly to see this place ruined by the likes of you.

At the least I demand a REAL bust. Maybe Jane Russell . . .

Hey, if I got Dolly Parton there'd be room for my wife too!

Somehow ashes in the likeness of Obama's head strikes me as slightly less creepy than ashes in the likeness of the departed's head. Eew!


:biggrin: An avenue I didn't think to trail upon...

So many choices - a 1968 Raquel Welch or a 1970's Lynda Carter - or Christina Hendricks or Katy Perry of today...

Brake out that clay and fire up the oven....

\my ashes may have a new home to nestle in....

Because you made a thread about it?

Number of words one has to read on the linked page until it is absolutely clear that the Obama head is just an example: 128.

Number of words in the post you just wrote: 428.

So much for the "time out of your busy day".

Everyone can see exactly what happened here: you posted an Obama derangement thread suggesting that people were going to go get Obama heads, so you could make fun of them. The reality was nothing of the sort, they are not selling "Obama heads" any more than they are selling "Reagan heads". And all because you were too stupid to read the page before posting about it.

Now you're trying to suggest, ha ha, it was all a big joke. Which is obviously a lie, not only based on your first post, but this most recent one, which has comments like: "Some may even think it denigrating to the office of the Presidency."

Do yourself a favor and put down the shovel. But, well, you're probably too stupid to do that either.

As an aside, thank you for an absolutely classic example of why the new forum was created.

Cry me a river.

I think part of your problem is that you think this forum represents some form of reality. This forum is nothing. It's meaningless discourse. We are all anonymous here and the brighter among us realize the implications of this.

You are in complete control here. You can peruse a forum with no interaction, you can ignore a forum, ignore a poster, not read a thread, read a thread, respond or not respond, etc. Yet, you choose to get involved and when you don't get your way, you pout and wail on and on about it.

The day you realize that you call the shots regarding how you interact with this virtual world that exists here is the day you become a happier person. I'm not going to hold my breath while waiting for that.

Charles, what exactly is wrong with you? I fully believe that you have a condition that needs treatment or is not getting the right treatment. You have got a hold of this innocuous thread with a death grip and you've become so obsessed with it that you are not making any sense.

I'd also like to congratulate you on some mild name calling directed towards me. If you think you're above the fray bub, you ain't.

I said it before and others have said it in this thread. You have a forum that is geared right towards your mindset. Why you don't stay in there and revel in all the nice and genteel discourse used to be a bit of wonder for me. No longer. I had you pegged correctly from your very first post here. I even offered you a form of détente early on and you turned it down. I publicly offered to ignore your posts if you ignored mine. Didn't fit into your agenda. So here we are still butting heads. You can not even ignore a thread that has no political implications to it whatsoever. sandorski got it right in the beginning, this thread did not belong in P&N and I realized that right after I read his post. It's not a political thread and many know this. But everything is political to you Charles and you've got your teeth sunk into this thread and you're just not going to let go. Don't look good...

You are a micro-managing progressive control freak who cannot allow others to operate outside of the tight constraints you wish to put on everyone. Many of us know this. You'd be happier in my estimation if you knew it too.

Yourself and our Mafia friend are lamenting that a new forum had to be created because of people like myself. It's there! The new forum is there! Yet, you keep coming back in here trying to raise this forum up to your high standards and pissing and moaning when it's not working. You have been given that which you so desperately wished to have and yet you are still unhappy and wish to change that which you should have left behind. In my opinion you'd do well to ponder my last several sentences. Why are you acting the way you're acting?

It has been eluded to before by others and I feel it's time to just lay it all right out on the line. You are the absolute wrong person for the job you have been given. You are one of the most divisive posters here. Your manner of communicating riles up a lot of folks. You continually try to straddle the fence purporting to see and even embrace both sides of an issue but your political path is progressive through and through and it permeates virtually every post you make. You cannot separate your views to the degree necessary from the task you have accepted here and for that reason you are not suited to the job.

I had you on ignore for a long time. When you turned down my offer, I took the high road and made both of our lives more pleasant by not having to directly see your posts. You could have ignored me but chose not to. A choice that was yours to make.

I can't ignore you now and you can't ignore me if you wished to.

Now, you're doing a word count on me. That's a little scary Charles. Am I going to see you on my doorstep or at my business at some point? That's a rhetorical question Charles.

What a remarkably pious, self-serving (and long, and tedious) diatribe to justify totally unjustifiable trolling. I take it your "busy day'' got considerably less busy when you found time to draft this filibuster?

If you can't believe any company would create these, then you obviously fail at capitalism.
