Default Maybe we need a LOGO.

Recalling the worst parts of the quit, and seeing so many posting of
outrageous short tempers, including references to the AS3 Graveyard, I
was wondering if we could create some kind of logo, easily recognized
by the general public, as a courtesy warning. Perhaps a lapel pin and
a little sticker for the front door, office door, car window, etc.
Among the hundreds of posts here, some quite funny, I had recieved
complaints from those close to me that "People are going to want to
have you comitted" and other cruel statements that demonstrate a lack
of empathy and understanding.

If we were kicking an ILLEGAL drug, there would be all kinds of
funding and agencies and layers of petty bureacrats feeding off it.

Possibly a red letter "Q", with the edges gnawed, for the front door,
attached with a dagger...? We also need a Standard Disclaimer that
interrupts incoming phone calls before the phone is allowed to ring.

In this way, The Public would understand, and the trauma to many
people lessened.

From personal experience, some of the beneficiaries would be:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Religious canvassers who have had their heads messed up.
"We have tons of Jehovah in the cabinets, Thank You." Slam.

Sales canvasser offered an enema, and eagerly shown the nozzle.
Flees, upon hearing a rendition of "On a Hill Far Away, Hangs a Red
Rubber Bag". Won't be back.

Baffled strangers in stores provoking bizarre reactions for little
apparant reason. Some deserve a teensy bit, though.

A computer manufacturer's Outsourced Call Center hardselling extended
worthless warranty programs encountering bestiality suggestions in
Hindi.

Fund raising callers (Exempt from the do Not Call List) offered
extravagant and outrageous donations such as old junk cars, "A Hundred
Trillion Dollars", stamp collections, and a stuffed frog clock.

Some fool stops in front of the house, sits there, creates a line of
stopped traffic trying to understand easy directions.
Gets the " Forty Days in The Wilderness" Tour.

Think of the poor bystanders! Support the AS3 Logo Project!

Let's not go with a ribbon. It's been so done to death and I'm pretty
sure there aren't any colors left.
I have to leave fro work so haven't had time to read your post yet.
So, if you've already dealt with the ribbon business, I'm sorry. See
you a little after 5 PDT.

Agree..Who could imagine WHAT we would be advocating, what with the
proliferation of the ribbon Stuff.
Pick the wrong color, and there is probably some obscure organization
that already did it.

Yet another gerbil free moment

Yes I like this Idea.

I sort of had a similar but different Idea at work once. Some people
in charge are great, some not so great, some dangerous.... The
dangerous ones I suggested should wear a large silver plated penis
stuck on the top of their heads as a warning to right minded fellas to
get the fuck out of their way. It didn't go down to well with the
upper echelons

Your mistake was not to suggest it be NAILED to their foreheads so
they could emulate Unicorns.

But then maybe I have not been quitting as long as you, so am still
less polite.

Yeah, but Tiho- it's *tradional for shops to have a sign haning
listing the things they're fed up about... kind of like the music

removed from the premises if you attempt to play it.

Anyway... this t-shirt is designed to protect those encountering a
new quitter from the consequenses of asking stupid questions,
surely?

Hmmm... how about: "Fuck smoking, screw me instead!"...?

I reached a formerly unattainable level of scoutdom this spring when I sold

Wow, what an inspiration! Me, I just play with any sellers of
anything, including religion, if they call at my door... ok- the

Sorry I'm so late responding to this, I've been kept a tad busy.

While I'd like to thank everyone out there for their overwhelming
support; the emails, letters, phone calls (the undies in the mail
was a bit OTT mind) I'm afraid I'm going to have to decline the
kind offer of *this* t-shirt: what with the sleeping, reading,
sighing, sleeping and now all of this, I find I'm left with no time
for myself... the rushed meals, interrupted showers and gifts of
chocolate that I've no craving for (I know: I'm ill) are getting to
me and I'm starting to feel the pressure.

I realise some will be disappointed that I'm cutting this career
short when it's at it's er- peak, but the fact is that I really
would like to spend some more time with my family and catch my
breath a bit... just know that the memories will always be close to
my heart.

/me bows out

It would if you pulled the "I'm pregnant, pissed off and have lost
all semblance of normality" thing, it's your right to scare people
at certain points in your life and this is one of them. :-)

An "I don't stop for adults" sticker would have been good for on
the pram... *why* do people think that as soon as you're pushing
one you should give them right of way? Summertime is best when
people are wearing sandles: that way, those who do leap in front of
the wheels of the pram will at least get their heels nipped by the
pram (or buggy) wheels.<g>

OHG,Summer! I hated that shit when I was pregnant!!I once had someone come
up who I barely knew,and KISS my fucking tummy!! KISS it!! For some reason,
people think pregnant bellies are public property. I never understood it. I
always ask if i can pat the belly,and it is always someone I know well like
a coworker or friend.

I learned from experience years ago it is pointless to tell the Mormans who
come to your door that you are a Satan worshipper. I did it,and the
motherfuckers chuckled at me,and said "OH yeah?" totally dashing my hopes of
seeing flee down the street in terror.Perhaps if had had some blood on my
clothes,they would have believed me.

Some old woman touched my tummy yesterday. I was just coming out of the
shop and she said, "aww how cute". If she wasn't old, I would have pushed
her into oncoming traffic.

I'm sitting here trying to understand your feelings. I do so by
projecting myself into your position.
Hmmm.
I can't be pregnant. What else would get patted?
Hmmmmm.

(Eureka!!!!!!!!)

Becky, I must say I don't understand you at all!

Ya should have. She may be one of those "grocery store grannies" mentioned
in an earlier post.I encountered one the othr day coming out of the store. I
was trying desperately to get back to my car where my lozenges were,and got
held up by some slowpoke just taking their sweet time going out. I wanted to
make em do a fucking faceplant right there.

Next time, offer to read some poetry, then read them one of your
rants! Satisfaction guaranteed!

Blood. The ciculates a story about a military dentist around here.
They say the only thing that matched his lazyness was his creativity
at evading work.
So.
One morning, while the waiting room was full with patients, he
sprinkled and smeared his white dentist outfit with something that was
either blood or damn close to it, opened the door and asked
"OK who's next???"
