At first glance, the symbols may be smileys, but actually, they are hieroglyphs, misrepresented by UTF or whatever code this site uses. Only a true Wise Men of the Orient would understand their meaning, perhaps one of the three we are expecting in the next days. Probably Sadek belongs to them, because he is always talking about a gift he has in spare for Christmas. (Perhaps the weed?)

That's a list that can survive beyond the rapture, and doctors have theories but they all agree they won't be able to help you!

If no one is laughing nor smiling, then why are you CRYING, INCESSANTLY?

Maybe I should become like you, pile up boring content nobody is interested in and be content with certain "agrees" that are NOT so much given to appreciate you as they are in a failed attempt to upset me.
Here's a couple of secrets, most of those "agrees" you have been getting are from people who don't even know what you are saying. You keep blabbering about places, foods, figures, etc. that only you associate with, and you're completely oblivious to your audience being from totally different backgrounds than yours. That's why your content has been a failure so far (even with the manipulated no. of views), and you keep stretching the stretched. "Johnny, what day is today? Hahahaha. Johnny, what day is today? Hahahaha. Johnny, what day is today? Hahahaha. Johnny, what day is today? Hahahaha. Johnny, what day is today? Hahahaha", what is that? Is that supposed to be an Oscar-winning broken-record comedy?
Every time I try to read a post of yours and I press the "see more" button, I tell myself "forget it, that's an unemployed person who needs an unemployed audience". You don't need to, and can't, impress with a 2-years worth of reading in every post of yours, a SINGLE LINE can work wonders at the hands of a REAL TALENT!
And, don't get me started on all the help you've been getting from ProZ so far, without their help you won't exist!
Let's see if ProZ will help you with this post of mine as well!

Sadek, one personal question in return, for all the strange insults from you... Dec 21, 2020

Sadek_A wrote:

Publishing one and delaying the other so that you can come up with those unfunny lines?
I know this thread has been stealing your thunder (or lightning, or whatever you're emitting these days) since I started posting in it, but the solution is you need to stop shovelling quantities and start spooning qualities.
See what I did there? Just 4 words (shovelling quantities spooning qualities) to sum up your dilemma and fix it for you. Enjoy!πŸ˜ƒ

... and it doesn't matter to me, that you try to insult me here in the public, because these insults come from you and fall back upon you, and even when admitting, that it too often itches in my keyboard, to type the words "sunglasses" or "Christine", "Cairo" and desert storm or "a sand storm is coming up" etc., but with all your replies going low down, below the belt or whatever you would call it, I ask myself and now you: What's your age, please?

Oh, boy, we're going schoolyard rhetoric now, aren't we? I'm rubber you're glue something something something you!πŸ˜ƒ
Matthias Brombach wrote:

I'll give you a better answer, I'm NOT insulting you I'm funning you because at one point I thought you were someone who appreciated humor; but, if you think you can't take it, let's have a deal, you and your group exclude me (and all that relates to me) from your exchanges, winks and whatnot, and I won't have you featured in any of my jokes now on.
I keep my promises and so must you.
Do we have a deal?

Mervyn Henderson wrote:

It wasn't about anyone else but YOU. You know? For someone who presents himself as a hotshot, you really disappoint! It's common rhetoric that Americans consider Germans NOT humor-friendly, yet you couldn't glean the meaning of HI (Humor-Impaired) from the context, nor could you even research it.
Now, you are not even able to make a connection between simple words such as "this thread, stealing your thunder, since I started posting, stop shovelling quantities, start spooning qualities".
Who else has been shovelling piles of boring content over the last 9 months or so, but YOU?
Let's put you to the test: what did Chris S. mean by Albert, Victoria and opening time?
Chrissy boy, don't you help!πŸ˜ƒ

Yes, I'm sure you are right without checking it. Sadek, will you please mark more clearly in your next post, who exactly you are going to insult? Thanks! And Mervin: Please, you may go ahead, sorry.

A different rhythm x 2 Dec 21, 2020

I like a song by Lily Allen. Don't remember the name but it starts like this:

'Look inside, look inside your tiny mind, now look a bit harder
'Cause we're so uninspired
So sick and tired of all the hatred you harbour ...'

Hahahaha. Hehehehe. Hohohoho. Dec 21, 2020

A song whose main line is F U, F U, that is allegedly downing with close-mindedness and upping with open-mindedness.

Thief Cries, Catch the Thief! Indeed!
