Presuming that this is another poor attempt at humor, could keep your comments on topic?

Could you bother to read the few preceding posts?

Treat us to a better attempt if you can.

More seriously, the best humour (mods note the u) arises
when more than one person exchange quips.

YOUR TURN

And most "on topic": perhaps you could expand the TLA ERA
for the benefit of those allergic to Google.

Thankyou in anticipation,

Based upon your typical posts, I read that post as a pun.

ERA refers to the Equal Rights Amendment.

By which I assume you agree ERA could stand for virtually anything.
My point in a nutshell.

Amendment to what? Presumably your parochial constitution.

i.e. I am merely attempting to render this TYPICAL (SIC)
USA-biased discussion accessible to the rest of the world.
Yes. You'll find it on some maps.

Yes I'm PISSED (in your sense and not mine (for a change:))

That's a risque thing to do!

I take it you have just seen my PM:smile:

[QUOTE=davieddy;241652]Yes I'm PISSED (in your sense and not mine (for a change:))[/QUOTE]What a coincidence! So am I.

Just polished off a macaroni aglio, olio y peperoncino washed down with a bottle of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo.

The peperoncino (in reality two home-grown Cheyenne) stimulated a probably excessive release of endorphines, not to mention a rather noticeable attack of perspiration.

If anyone would like the recipe, please ask.

Paul

Sounds totally irresistable to me

[QUOTE=R.D. Silverman;241608]You don't expect him to admit it do you?[/QUOTE]You want to know what's really funny about this response? Apparently Silverman blocked me, so he hasn't even read any of my responses (except possibly in the out of context snippets quoted in others posts).

[QUOTE=cheesehead]If you weren't basically against the ERA, you'd probably have noticed the mistakes in your reasoning before you posted, or at least after they were pointed out. That (lack of acknowledgment of mistakes) is why I said you've made your opposition clear, and why I'm not bothering to repeat my corrections.

You're not trying to avoid admitting that you oppose the ERA, are you? [/QUOTE]By pointing out mistakes, were you referring to things like "... but an earlier extension had been valid, so it'd be hard to go against that precedent." I'm pretty sure I admitted I didn't know of any earlier extension on an amendment that was found valid. You are still free to give an example.
