Maybe if he really loves the name Sting so much, he should set it free, free-free, set it free.zoobyshoe said:Sting claims he was never called "Gordon."-wiki

Is there some incident in your past with bees or wasps we should know about?WWGD said:Maybe if he really loves the name Sting so much, he should set it free, free-free, set it free.

Sorry. If I'd known I would never have mentioned Sting.WWGD said:We'll have two wait a couple of weeks to know better, my therapist is out of town till July.

Lets change the subject to poetry. How about onomatopoeia? Here's a famous example:
the buzzing of innumerable bees
So now you want Sean Connery to change his name to Gordon?WWGD said:I assume you may have liked the movie "Swarm", or, as Sean Connery calls it, S- warm.
zoobyshoe said:So now you want Sean Connery to change his name to Gordon?
Best of luck with that.WWGD said:Yes, but I would also accept Sean Gordon. I am writing to him about it as I post this.
Common, it wasn't that bad of a joke!zoobyshoe said:Felt like we just had a little earthquake.
No excuses. A disturbance in the force is a disturbance in the force.WWGD said:Common, it wasn't that bad of a joke!
Maybe that's why my toilet has been acting out recently ..zoobyshoe said:No excuses. A disturbance in the force is a disturbance in the force.
Stop calling it a toilet. Call it "Gordon."WWGD said:Maybe that's why my toilet has been acting out recently ..
zoobyshoe said:Stop calling it a toilet. Call it "Gordon."
Cats and dogs swear by it.WWGD said:I heard desert roses bloom when you use Gordon water on them.
Are you the reincarnation of Lewis Carroll?WWGD said:Isn't there something wrong with the expression "behind their back"? If you go behind someone's back, aren't you in their front?
zoobyshoe said:Are you the reincarnation of Lewis Carroll?
I'll take that as a "yes," then.WWGD said:I don't know, are you intellectually related to Denis Miller and his obscure references? Its as if Don Gulet did a double trip over a Levantine Caravaggio.
And, while we're at it, shouldn't it be "ready to be eaten" instead of "ready to eat"?
zoobyshoe said:I'll take that as a "yes," then.
Keep Portland Weird
We don't make this stuff up.
It's official: The Rose City's new baseball team is the Portland Pickles! "We want to stand out from the crowd and keep Portland weird," said Ken Wilson, Rose City Baseball President.
That's correct.WWGD said:Well that's what happens when teens start playing with their Ouija board without reading the warnings!
zoobyshoe said:That's correct.
And, now that you mention it, I think you're right about the logic of those two sayings.
I think that would be most appropriate. Go ahead, PM him.WWGD said:What do you say we convince Greg to move our exchange here on Gordon-Sting, toilets , bees and Lewis Carrol from Ouija boards, into the "Insights" section?
My best guess for why:zoobyshoe said:Speaking of coffee shops, where I grew up there were no coffee shops as such. The role now played by the coffee shop was then played by the diner or the bakery. They had, at least, a counter and usually some booths. You payed under 50 cents for a cup of coffee, and they would automatically just keep coming around filling it back up at no charge! Of course, they expected you to buy a modicum of donuts or breakfasts to make up for this, but there were always people who didn't.
It surprises me how fast all this changed so that now, the owner of a coffee shop would consider it an outrageous expectation on the part of a customer to get a free refill, much less a bottomless cup. I've run into some places that charge full price for a refill, and others that give one discounted refill then charge full price for the third cup.

Go Clubber!collinsmark said:Clubber is back up and running, new and improved.
I think that at the end of the day, over the long run, it more than evens out for the owner.zoobyshoe said:Yes.
I also read, at some point in the past couple years, about a coffee shop owner who shuts off the wi-fi between 11:00 A.M. and 1:00 P.M. to clear out the people who sit online for hours, having only made the minimum purchase. He does it to make room for the lunch crowd, which is going to spend a lot more in a shorter time.
I feel like, if you resent people actually using your free-with-purchase wi-fi, then stop offering it.
