"This is the DU member formerly known as dicksteele."

[Richard Steele]

That phrase just gets more amusing every time I see it,
and I think y'all know why.

That's all I have to say about that. :hi:

1. Hi!

Would I be failing as Inchworm not to chime in here?

:rofl:

:yoiks:

[Richard Steele]

2. Hiya, Inchworm!

I have no idea what would qualify as "failing as Inchworm",
because I've never seen that happen.

Sometimes I think you might be doing better in life
if you were wearing pants, but hey, that's just cuz it's worked
so well for me. That's just how -I- roll.

You gotta follow your OWN path, grasshopper.
Don't ever let anyone tell you different!

3. you should change your name back BUT

put an 'of' between the two words. :evilgrin:

[Richard Steele]

4. That's not funny. We all know the "of" in STEELE is silent.

It's been silent ever since 1919 when the bastard Red Communists
ordered the execution of all Russian Noble families,
and Great-Grandpa Nicolai Steeleof escaped alone by hiding
in a sack of MUD in the dank dark hold of a steam-powered
mud-barge that took TWO FUCKINGcMONTHS to labor its way down to Brazil
just so it could exchange its cargo for an equal number of sacks
of slightly better quality MUD!

So that's not FUNNY!!!

What WOULD be funny is if you believed any of that crap up above,
because I'm just yankin' ya. :rofl:


Truth is, I'm descended from 2 brothers named "Steele" whose investments
were a bit speculative, to say the least, in many places all over Europe.
Eventually, in the late 1690's, angry creditors chased them all the way to Denmark.
So they booked passage on a ship to North America.
They arrived on the East Coast sometime around 1700.

They had firearms-the natives didn't.
The natives had SCRUPLES- they didn't.
Everything from that point followed the usual formula.

And now us Steeles are just EVERYWHERE.

5. So *that's* where you went!

I hardly recognized ya.

But yeah, that "of" insertion trick was a funny idea...

:hi:
