bob_'s avatar

Would you like a thread in which only nice things about others are said?

Asked by bob_ (21888points) May 10th, 2010

After this question, I think it’d be nice to change the mood, and talk about the positive aspects of the people at Fluther, and/or people in general. Would you like to participate?

Sure bob, I’ll be glad to make you a sandwich. What kind do you want?

bob_'s avatar

@janbb Pastrami, please :D

janbb's avatar

Comin’ rye up!

Dog's avatar

@bob_ I am going to make you a whiskey on the rocks to go with that sandwich. :)

bob_'s avatar

Aww, you guys :D

I love spending time with Fluther.

I’m just writing to write, but this sounds like a joke the funny, ha ha kind. Lots of things go over my head, so I’m not sure if I should laugh or not. I decided to write this all off as nonsense, and file it.

I love playing poker with Dr. J.
I love it so much I am willing to overlook when he cheats.

Fluther is unique and refreshing.
Anyone game for Sushi and Sapporo?

Dr_C's avatar

I also love the people who selflessly volunteer their time to try and maintain the quality of our beloved site. Without you guys this place would be chaos. Thank you for all that you do.

@NeroCorvo I went to a sushi buffet over the weekend so I’ll pass on that, but I’m up for Sapporo!

bob_'s avatar

I really like Sapporo. I used to have it all the time when I was in Italy, with Mitch and Dan. Man, those guys are great.

chels's avatar

I love everyone that’s been there for me when I needed it. You guys are amazing.

NeroCorvo's avatar

I have lots of Sapporo- help yourselves.

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

I am trapped – I wanted to rant about how stupid I thought the question you mention was and couldn’t do it there because of ‘rules’ set up by the OP and can’t do it here because ‘only nice things should be said’ ...buuuut…screw it, I’m telling you ‘cause you’re my friend and cause I really hated that q…how’s that for passive-aggressive, eh?

bob_'s avatar

@Simone_De_Beauvoir We might not always share the same point of view, but I admire the passion with which you defend your ideas.

Facade's avatar

Coming here helped me realize that good, intelligent people are out there. Thanks.

Fyrius's avatar

Is this a covert thread too? It would only be fair. :P

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

Vunessuh’s the best! :)

MissAusten's avatar

Jellies make me smile on a daily basis!

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

@bob_ Sometimes you do a good job at redirection.

anartist's avatar

Is anyone else finding this thread a little too bland, wonderbread, and Readers’ Digest? Anyone else missing the sharp Fluther edge?

bob_'s avatar

@anartist I’m sure you’re great at making sandwiches. Go make me one.

MissAusten's avatar

@anartist I guess I could rephrase my statement: All the smartasses here crack me up, especially when their wit is pointedly aimed at those who deserve it most. :)

bongo's avatar

wow, so bob you are a sandwich lover, I respect that – good call. I have to say eating a sandwich is probably my favourite way to pass the day.
Yesterday I made a salami, pastrami, ham, chicken, lettuce, tomato, cheese and coleslaw sandwich on a soft white sub roll. ill email u some.

THIS IS YOUR EMAILED SANDWICH regretfully the e-postman ate it

bob_'s avatar

D:

I’m gonna let it slide. Dude must have been hungry from all that delivering. I love getting stuff in the mail.

chels's avatar

Bob is awesome.

Trillian's avatar

Speaking as a sometime smart ass I’d like to say in my own defense that I only am one when provoked and that for every smart ass thing that I say, I let twenty or so slide.
Allow me to nicely say that I miss davidbetterman, and phillis.

bob_'s avatar

Chels is always right XD

shpadoinkle_sue's avatar

I love a smart-ass answer as much as a helpful one. Still missing Chuck.

stranger_in_a_strange_land's avatar

I love you all! ((hugs)) Here’s another pastrami sandwich @bob_

anartist's avatar

@bob_ Here you are, one wonderbread sammich with marshmallow fluff!

perspicacious's avatar

Unlike all of you, I didn’t take a sugar pill this morning. I’ll say I really like some of the users on this site.

dpworkin's avatar

Well at least @bob_ is chock full of original ideas.

anartist's avatar

where is astrochuck? What would he say to this Q?

Vunessuh's avatar

Aw, @lucillelucillelucille! No, no, you’re the best!
And @bob_, you’re pretty snazzy too, but enough with the sandwiches. I’m going to make you a tuna casserole instead. You’ll eat it and you’ll like it or you’ll be wearing it. XD

bob_'s avatar

@Vunessuh I’ll eat anythig you feed me XD

Seaofclouds's avatar

I’m glad I joined…(I don’t know people well enough to say anything specific yet).

chels's avatar

I’m glad you joined too, @Seaofclouds.

FutureMemory's avatar

I like Simone’s passion and openness about who she is and what she believes in.

I like Dalepetrie’s writing style.

I like how Bob1946 uses at least one exclamation point in every post he writes, and how he tries to inject positivity into threads that get heated.

I like that despite his arch-conservative viewpoints that are often unpopular on Fluther, Plethora hasn’t been made to feel unwelcome.

I like how Augustlan has maintained a positive and professional attitude despite all the crap she must deal with on a daily basis.

I like that not one person whose posts I’ve poo-poo’d has ever sent me a nasty PM (that is not an invitation by the way).

Vunessuh's avatar

@FutureMemory I like all of the sweet PM’s you send me every once in a while. They make me smile. :)

chels's avatar

@Seaofclouds You’re very welcome!

dpworkin's avatar

Uh-oh, I think I had better leave, before I fwow up.

janbb's avatar

This is the nice thread so I’ll clean up after you. (Right)

YARNLADY's avatar

I truly appreciate the efforts of my fellow jellies here to avoid scatological language.

janbb's avatar

@YARNLADY You might be waving the red flag now.

Vunessuh's avatar

@YARNLADY Holy shit on a stick! You just taught me a new word. I’ve never heard of scatological before. Thanks! :)

DominicX's avatar

Bob has the cutest avatar ever, along with Lightlyseared and his little barbecuing smiley face. They’re so cute! :)

Also glad that Bob came back to Fluther because he was awesome on wis.dm and I don’t think I’ve ever seen him be mean to anyone.

YARNLADY's avatar

@janbb poke – poke

Berserker's avatar

Fuck y…that’s as nice as I’m able to get.

’‘Buys you a sandwich.’’

Coloma's avatar

Well, lets just say it’s hard to capture my attention a lot of the time.

I have definitely become part of the captive audience of Fluther.

Woe is me…but…once the summer really kicks in I’ll be around less…yeah, uh huh, famous last words right?

Screw you all! ;-)

MissAusten's avatar

@FutureMemory I might have to send you a nasty PM for not including me in that list of compliments. ;)

Coloma's avatar

Seriously, without naming names ( besides, I am rather bad at recalling all the names I enjoy the most ) I do find that, for the most part, this site seems to be a pretty decent blend of good eggs, the bad apples and crazy types seem to be the exception rather than the rule.

I give Fluther a B+ for being an informative and well integrated community.

deni's avatar

i love everybody on fluther except like 3 people. and i think thats pretty good.

Dr_C's avatar

@deni well the 3 of us love you anyway :)

stranger_in_a_strange_land's avatar

@Symbeline A Bloody Mary for you, my dear. :^)

Coloma's avatar

Oooh…did someone say Bloody Mary?

Grey Goose please, and a celery stalk, 3 big, fat Martini olives and lots of Tabasco! :-)

stranger_in_a_strange_land's avatar

@Coloma Coming right up, ma’am!

saraaaaaa's avatar

happy happy joy joy!

nikipedia's avatar

I love that @dpworkin is willing to put people in their place when they really need it.

I love how @Simone_De_Beauvoir and her family really live their morals and do everything they can to make the world a better place.

I love @stranger_in_a_strange_land‘s eagerness to help another jelly, and the people around him in the real world, even when humanity baffles him.

As for people not yet on this thread, I have much special love for @rangerr, who always brightens my day, @johnpowell, who gave up a cheeseburger for me, @susanc, who is always right, @gailcalled, who is always helpful and funny, @Qingu, who thoroughly demolishes aggressive stupidity, @wundayatta, who is always insightful and understanding, and of course the much-loved @augustlan, whose reputation speaks for itself, and so many more. This is a real special corner of the internet.

stranger_in_a_strange_land's avatar

I love @nikipedia ‘s sparkling intellect and being a fellow cat-lover.

Neizvestnaya's avatar

I love it when a jellie says what I mean but in less than half the words.

anartist's avatar

@Vunessuh It’s even better when it gets mixed up with eschatological.

jonsblond's avatar

Fluther has given me the chance to meet some incredible people. One person in particular has taught me to enjoy each and every moment, and to laugh when times are tough. I love you cak!

free_fallin's avatar

Most days people are less annoying on here than they are in real life. For that I thank you all.

janbb's avatar

But then of course ther are other days!

free_fallin's avatar

@janbb hey, don’t mention those! :P hehe

MissAusten's avatar

@nikipedia Did rangerr leave? Her profile is gone. :( I’m hoping she just changed her name or something.

Coloma's avatar

@MissAusten

Hmmm…is there a spot for looking at everyones profiles? I never noticed.

Fred931's avatar

I LOVE EVERY FREAKING ONE OF YOU GUYS ‘CAUSE YOU ARE MY ABSOTIVELY BESTALISCIOUS BESTEST FREINDSES EVAH.

Dr_Lawrence's avatar

We can discuss complex issues and still limit ourselves to speaking well of each other even when we disagree on issues. There are some great jellys who do this so well.

MissAusten's avatar

@Coloma You can type a user’s name into the search bar, and a link to their profile will come up.

@Dr_Lawrence
You have written what I was thinking.
