@lanilou & Pink Coat

Not to put too fine a point on the whole business, but:

a) if #8.1 had not been posted, #8.2 could have been used
without any modification as a direct comment on #8 rather than
as the answer to #8.1 that it appears to be

b) #8.5 is clearly a direct response to #8, one which, short of some semantic Pretzel Logic word salad construction worthy of a Charles Manson interview response, has no conceivable relation to #8.1.

c)…you had absolutley no way of knowing that your pointless babble would in turn provoke the extensive discussion that followed… and therefore it seems that you, originally, did not have a point.
The assumed “pointless babble” is used to prove (whence “therefore”)
that there was no point…aka Begging the Question, Assuming Facts
Not in Evidence, or petitio principii (for the recent spate of Latin lovers).
Nice attempt. Keep trying.

Should have stayed away, you just confirmed that all you had to say was a comment about someone else not having a point to make.

Should have left the question open as to whether or not you at least had the imagination to play on “toast points”.

Hey, I tried to give you a crumb of credit anyway. Even though I can be quite crusty around here at times, opportunities to spread praise sometimes pop up. Promise!

That’s exactly what I came back to ‘point’ out Dr chalk….eff. As lanilou said, the discussion was generated from my comment, not yours

Touche’ Dr.

.. although you had absolutley no way of knowing that your pointless babble would in turn provoke the extensive discussion that followed… and therefore it seems that you, originally, did not have a point. Your’ point’ only seems to have risen after Pink Coats response to your lack of a point. (#8.1) And those responding to that response. . .

This seemingly pointless trivia provoked a fairly extensive discussion; and that, Pink Coat, is the point.

To a point. Ramming in a bagel slice will just make both you and the toaster uncomfortable.

A golden splash in the miner’s pan, by Yellow Pair’ll Shower Productions…see the film, read the book, wear the (wet) T-shirt if you dare.

I like #15.9…good for the idiom-impaired crowd.

Sorry, folks…we were just taking a piss!

I’ll be dammed. Get back to what you were doing then, no need to pamper me, I’ll just hold my water until you get back. Urine for it when you come back, but you’ll probably just shake it off.

I’m trying to put something together expressing regret at having even a passing connection to any trickle-down problems you have experienced.
I try to stay on-topic, but I keep coming back to the fact that those same people just get me so pissed that I go off the Depend myself.
So, sorry to cut this off in mid-stream, but I have to get back to a new anthology of old viper humor columns from the Yellow Journalism era, Tokin’ fer Real: One-Hit Wonders of San Simeon-illa.

Never heard of such, IT. I suppose if you have two Best Men at a wedding there’d be a toast competition, but who can say for sure?

CB,
The Urban Dictionary has only this for toast points:
When you cut a slice of bread in half diagonally, you have just created toast points.
Or, it’s the way of keeping track of who is winning the famed and glorious toast competition.
I think *we* are talking about the first definition.
Any clue about a (the?) “famed and glorious toast competition”?
A quasi-legal baking contest held in Amsterdam “coffee shops” ?
Any help would be appreciated.
I think I’m on overload today, after learning what a backronym is.

Ok then, contrary to my usually negative assumptions about posts, this time I may have been overly optimistic.

I’ll take credit for “first” toast points comment here in that case!
