kudos to anteater

[TrustUser]

this is a new year, so i wanted to especially thank anteater for his support. he graciously helps a lot of people

not only does he respond to so many posts, but does so in a helpful manner, without any arrogance.

 

[garrula lingua]

I agree.
Anteater is incredibly patient, and always accurate and informative.

 

[curb1]

I will join in the applause. Thank you "anteater".

Aw shucks... I take back any of those nasty things that I've said about you guys.

Now... What about that raise?

Get in line...

Wow, a thread dedicated to you that wasn't started by a disgruntled poster.

There are three posters on this forum who are oh so kind and patient. Ant, quincy and Carl.

We got a little snark out of Carl the other day. One down - two to go

I have often, in much quieter moments, pondered the zen-like patience of ant, quincy and Carl.

I sit and read their posts which are - invariably (well...ok, invariably until Carl's recent vacation at Snarkville) - patient, nonjudgmental and incredibly helpful. I aspire to that, myself. I really do!

Then I feel bad about myself and have to have another glass of wine.

And then, I feel bad about having to have another glass of wine, so I have another.

And then I eat too much chocolate.

So, to summarise, The Transcendentally Terrific Trio cause me to eat too much chocolate and drink too much merlot.

Jes' sayin' like.



(seriously - reading your posts, guys, is an absolute pleasure. I learn so much from y'all!)

Oh God, can you see the total chaos if the transcendental trio went toe to toe with the wonder triplets

OK that sentence had entirely too many "T"s and not nearly enough merlot!

(but actually, I believe your suggestion would result in an absolutely wonderful dinner!)

Make that one to go. You must have missed the rare snarks by ant.

Please pass the wine & chocolate.

You know, at this point I'm wondering exactly what constitutes a "snark".

Maybe there are levels of snarkness? Is there a "pre-snark" state?

Can one have too much snark? (a state of hypersnarkism, I believe)...and if one is lacking of snark, would one suffer from hyposnarkism?

And - oh I wish I hadn't thought of this, because frankly it frightens me - what if one's snark was forcibly removed?!?!?!

A snarkectomy?!

Don't blow my cover, BP. I think most of my snarks have fallen off the "Find all posts" list.

And it's a lot easier now that another poster has taken over the Truth Squad.

Yes, there are levels.

Is there a "pre-snark" state?

Yep, that's when you see a question not needing to be asked if one has some common sense and answer it correctly anyway after winning the battle with yourself over not replying, "what the heck are you thinking?"

Can one have too much snark? (a state of hypersnarkism, I believe)

Yes, that's when no one wants your company anymore or talks with you on the phone anymore.

...and if one is lacking of snark, would one suffer from hyposnarkism?

Yes, then you become a doormat.

And - oh I wish I hadn't thought of this, because frankly it frightens me - what if one's snark was forcibly removed?!?!?! A snarkectomy?

Since I now have snarkitis, please remove some of it.

Well, I could come down with some mental pause for a price and not find them there snarks.

Too funny & he's doing a great job at it.
