29. LOL, Why do you assume it has to be one or the other?

The number of "rofl" smilies in my last post
might be a big HINT.

Bear in mind that my DU posts are 75% HUMOR.

75% by WEIGHT, not VOLUME!

I bet NIXON never had to answer that question.
HARRUMPH, I say! Harrumph!

34. sorry I'm not that good at conveying sarcasm in my posts.

Actually quite a few people don't pickup on my verbal sarcasm either. People who think I'm serious don't realize that I'm messing with them half the time.

37. I thought I got it with that one, and I was playing along~!

With a username like 'dicksteele', I hoped that most people
would ASSUME I'm being funny...

But it's amazing how often people don't "get it".

So don't ever feel bad: When you type a joke that goes nowhere,
you are certainly not alone!

38. yeah

if it isn't obvious most people don't even try.

Although my ability to keep a strait face, is what let me get away with making up symbolism in english class.

symbolism is all bs so anything that sounds remotely plausible will pass.

11. That's about the only answer possible

I actually read most of that rant--he never gets around to explaining WHY his theory is important--just that you are EVIL if you don't already agree with him.

Sometimes I get a kick out of a good, high quality, unhinged rant--and that might be one of the best! :evilgrin:

12. hmmm

any vacation that that includes many adventures and provides a lot of stories to bring back home. I think I would like to visit. Switzerland. and maybe japan. I might visit Israel again too. Oh and I want to see Italy. I have decided if I ever meet the pope (any Pope) I will ask to try on his hat.

23. I am trying to decide this one now

I have earned a free trip (airfare and accommodations) as compensation for leading school outings to Europe for the past three years.

I have seen many a large city and popular tourist attraction, so I'm leaning toward going for something unique and off the beaten path. Ideas which have been bouncing through my mind: Uruguay, Chile, Costa Rica, Iceland, Hungary... I don't know yet.

24. I don't know...

the chocolate, the watches (which reminds me I need a new watch) and I ski (or at least attempt it), And it isn't a place everyone goes to so there wont be as many tourist traps.
