Well,, you all have the skinny now!
 The KING himself has finally cleared up the age old question...
 What exactly IS a Turd?

[Fatman]

Is a gun a turd because you can't shoot it well?

I had a Belgium Browning Hi-Power that I couldn't shoot worth a damn. I sold it; my turd is now someone else' filet mignon. 

[Michael Bane]

Yeah, we're on the same page...thanks for the OPPORTUNITY to wrote on the Zen of a turd...I feel so Cartman-ish...

twyacht hit on something with his comments about how we get along on here.  We are suffering growing pains.  For quite a while this has been a small growing group, and we were doing quite well at understanding each other's comments.  However, with quality has come growth, and with growth has come misunderstandings and more people checking in on what we are up to.  Just recently there was a situation where we got going on terminology with someone that did not take it too well.  Oooooops ... I was a part of that one myself

I believe that most of us understand each other and that an occasional explosion is just venting.  However, with a larger group a brief vent turns into a hate session that goes on and on and on.  And sooner or later we do hurt someone's feelings.

I think that with common sense we can all speak our piece and still not offend the folk that are paying for our playground.

I had to wear my Captain Midnight Secret Decoder Glasses to read that last MB post. 
Yellow journalism?

Kmitch...I think you're getting somewhere...IMHO, the answer to your question is Zen-ish — "when is a turd, in fact, a turd?"...

 
...I will continue giving you my opinions, which — although I am quite fond of them — fall somewhat short of omniscience. I will also do my best to tell you what my biases are, because that's the only way you can use my information to make your own decisions.

And I strongly urge you to remember those stirring words from Cartman on a classic SOUTH PARK:

Vote for Turd Sandwich.
This is the most important election of our lives.
Turd Sandwich brings us hope for change.
A vote for Turd Sandwich is a Vote for Tomorrow!

This is one of the main reasons I decided to hop on board here: A serious subject, cleverly and humorously delt with clearly.

Mr. Bane, I believe the nuts here don't fall far from the tree.
Thanx

I'm a new guy around here and I just want to say how refreshing it is to read the comments, suggestions and the diatribe that is prevelant on these pages.  Thanks to the administration of DRTV for making that possible.  

I have been LMAO for quite a few days over some of the threads posted and will continue to frequent these pages in hopes of furthering my knowledge base and enjoying the banter that exists between folks with a common interest.  I too can get a little overheated in my opinions and must re-read my posts to make sure I don't cross the line too far.

Keep it up but remember, sometimes humor is very difficult to translate into coherant sentences.  It can, and will be misconstrued by some people as other than what was intended.  

Just my 2 cents (or 100,000,000 Icelandic kronur!)

Group hug!!!
No, really...group hug!!!
(Haz....Kum ba Ya? ARRGGGHHH!)

If I can't shoot a particular gun (WHICH SHALL REMAIN NAMELESS!!!) does it make ME a turd since other people CAN shoot the gun? Or maybe a douche...I've been accused of being both. Or I could be a douche bag that is incompatible with certain turds...this is such a deep subject.

If you think you have a turd try polishing it...you CAN'T polish a turd.

On a positive note I may be advertising here soon because I think I may have invented a polish that will actually work on a turd and make it shiny. That will be a revolution in almost every aspect of american life, especially politics.

I kinda don't know what to do with myself since I've lost my favorite whine-and-cheese subject...but I'll eventually move on intellectually, and I'm not going anywhere "forum-wise". Since everyone is doing it, to quote Eric Cartman, one thing you will never hear from me here is, "Screw you guys,  Iaam goin' home".

A turd by any other name will smell as sweet.

Was that a S***speare quote?
