Okay, I'm sorry about the sock puppet. Really.

Poll question: Okay, I'm sorry about the sock puppet. Really.

How long do you plan on staying mad?

[RevolutionaryActs]

1. I'm not mad, but I don't know what you're talking about

So yeah. :shrug:

[iconoclastic cat]

2. I was soundly thrashed by the mods for having a "you know what."

I felt I should be contrite.

[RevolutionaryActs]

5. Ahhhh! I see now.

[iconoclastic cat]

6. Well, I kinda bought it. I was innocuous for a while...

..but it took on a persona all its own.

[eyepaddle]

3. Are you talking about the infamous

SOCKPUPPET?

I'm not mad--not now that I know the answer!

But I clicked on forever just to be a pain! ;)

[iconoclastic cat]

4. How infamous could it be? Nobody ever even acknowledged it.

Poor bastard.

[eyepaddle]

7. Oh fiddlesticks

I was hoping you might have been "Temporary SockPuppet" which exploded the Lounge for the better part of a day. I saw the thread and peeked opnce in awhile to see it rack up the repsonses--but I knew better than to get too involved.

The mystery remains.

[iconoclastic cat]

8. Nope, that wasn't me. Maybe I should let sleeping dogs lie.

So, you live near rapids?

[eyepaddle]

11. Depemds how you define "near" I suppose

There's a tame class II about fifteen miles from where I live that I hit pretty frequently and then probably about a dozen good rivers within a four hout drive. And an alomst world class set called Sturgeon Falls is about ten hours away near Lake Winnipeg.

Here's a pic of the class II taken about two weeks ago. I'd love this picture--even if it wasn't me.

12. Looks more wet and cold than I'm generally interested in.

Ever worry about frostbite?

[eyepaddle]

13. All that gear is pretty damn waterproof

you only really get damp is about it. And we only go when it's at least in the 20s (colder than that and your spray skirt can freeze on the cockpit of your boat--dangerous if you need to bail out.

That snow bank really makes it look stark though, doesn't it?

[FuzzySlippers]

9. I thought you got an automatic granite cookie

for having a sockpuppet these days. :shrug:

Btw, I'm not mad. Sockpuppets are fine by me, as long as they don't claim to have fictitious nephews killed in Iraq.

14. What was the purpose of this sock puppet?

[iconoclastic cat]

16. Messin' with peoples heads when I was bored.

Sometimes, being me is a bit dull. So I allowed my sockpuppet to be like my id, unleashed.

[Blue-Jay]

20. In that case, you suck.

Seriously. You suck.

Using a sockie to attack people (or "mess with their heads") is cowardly and inappropriate. If you feel the need to let loose of some snark, do it as yourself.

[iconoclastic cat]

21. Oh, come on. I never attacked a soul. Nor was I rude or crass.

And who here is attacking anyone or anything as themselves? I don't see too many DUers using their real names around here, my friend.

[Blue-Jay]

22. maybe I misinterpreted.

What do you mean by "messing with peoples' heads"?

I figured that you were saying things that you wouldn't normally say as "yourself".

[iconoclastic cat]

23. By "messing,"

I generally mean that I would post things like, "I am made of meat." And then just let it go. Or I'd put up a poll question. Nothing harmful.

[Blue-Jay]

34. Ok then. Please accept my apology.

It's just that, in my experience, people usually use sockies for ill intent of one kind or another. If that wasn't the case I'm sorry that I jumped to that particular conclusion. I'm sorry to have flown off the handle a bit.

[iconoclastic cat]

37. I really wouldn't sweat it. I'm just glad to have a quiet moment to hang.

It will only be so long before certain people under the age of 5 months start yelling at the top of their lungs, and I'll have to run.

[FuzzySlippers]

26. Yeah, by all means!

If you want to trash "George Wendt", do it as yourself!

[iconoclastic cat]

29. Who are any of us?

And besides, who could trash that sad sack?

[FuzzySlippers]

31. Oh, there a number of folks around here who could.

[iconoclastic cat]

33. Poor bastard.

[Blue-Jay]

36. I'm not sure that I know what you're talking about.

[FuzzySlippers]

38. Well, maybe not George Wendt himself.

George Wendt look-alikes.;-)

[Blue-Jay]

39. OK.

:shrug:

[Benfea]

15. I have no idea what you're talking about but...

…I'm answering "Forever" just to be mean. I'm like that. :)

[iconoclastic cat]

17. Where's the bunny with a pancake on its head?

[Left Is Write]

18. I have no idea what you're talking about...

[iconoclastic cat]

19. Its too bad they're mean as hell.

Some critters weren't meant to be turned into pets.

[FuzzySlippers]

27. Right here!!!

<========

[iconoclastic cat]

32. How long will a bunny sit and be humiliated like that?

It's no wonder they get all mean in their old age.

[crispini]

24. Ok, but which sockpuppet were you?

Inquiring minds want to know.

[iconoclastic cat]

25. Wouldn't you like to know!

[crispini]

28. Commander Cookoo Bananas?

I always thought he was a sockpuppet.

[iconoclastic cat]

30. I believe she or he actually said that she or he was a sockpuppet.

[crispini]

35. That would explain why I thought that!

:silly:

[ncrainbowgrrl]

40. Locking

Sockpuppets are against the rules, but nobody's mad. In fact, that was a clever sockpuppet name.
