I am the first to admit that as old as I am, I am also a "babe in the woods' when it comes to the intricacies of my own computer and the internet.
The problem: This morning I entered my username on a Google Search and got all kinds of 'hits.'
Including many that seem to be attached to the following: something about hot, and fudge and detroit

My question: What on earth are those particular words doing, consorting with me?

I don't know nuthin' 'bout pumpkin stew?

I just tried, in this message, to insert the url of the above 'fudge" and got a "format error" notice. ??????????????

Does anyone have a clue as to what I am talking about.

Ehhhh... Don't worry about it, Tponetom. It's not just you, or anything you've done.

Ignore it as many of us here do.

Some of us appreciate the way you express your thoughts, others may not.

But still continue with your wonderful ways of telling your stories for those of us who appreciate them.

Critics have been described as those who can't do, can't teach, therefore they bitch about those that can.

Plus you're setting off a feeding frenzy of trying to out-quipe each other.

Tponetom, there is another Detroit-based internet forum, whose name involves those words, where they spend a considerable amount of energy on poking fun at this forum. On that forum, they make fun of everything, so if you, also, are receiving that treatment, do not be alarmed or personally offended.

Perhaps you have noticed that our moderator has this forum programmed to spit up blood if any of us attempts to directly refer to that other forum.

Ravine, et al
I will sleep easy tonight knowing that I have not started a war of words. That other site shall remain nameless. It agitated me thinking some one was paraphrasing my "Iron Ore Stew" post with something inferior. I do have some pride about how my words are used.
And by the by, this particular post, and more important the answers, helps validate my statement of Dinosaurs.
This old Dinosaur needs the help from younger ones. Their brains are not yet pickled by posterity.
Thank You

They probably did something wacky with, or about, that post, but don't be agitated; they're just horsing around.

Some people waste lots of time on one internet forum or another. Others waste even MORE time on MULTIPLE internet forums.

Parody, satire & free expression are the calling cards of that other site. In other words, a nice complement to DY when comments, posters, and even threads seem to get smoked at will by powers that be.

IMO some people on that other site copy and paste from here onto their site because they feel the need, every once in a while, to read something written by an intelligent and articulate person.

No worries Tp, if they are attempting to skewer you, you have done something worth their efforts.

I do so miss their commentary, but catch it occasionally from others.

When they copied one of my posts on that forum, I felt like I had finally arrived!

Eriedearie: Don't flatter ourself. I believe that they are utterly sincere in their implied assertion that we are bumbling, self-righteous buffoons.

I can't imagine why.

I just checked and they made fun of me - cool!

But, how do they know that I moved from GPP to Arkansas? Do they read ALL posts, or do they know who I am?

Oh Ravine - I wasn't referring to myself when I posted that. I was referring to Tponetom.

Yeah I was pleased when I got a stupid Post Du Jour a little while ago or was it a Spelling Error Du Jour? Why does everything end with Du Jour? Dammit now I am going to go lurk over there now and maybe ask that same question when they copy and paste this thread.

I would bet that it is a reference to AIW's Photo du Jour series of posts.
