But with stekim you should be thinking in terms of 'mental notes' rather than a single, solitary, searing, high pitched, ear-piercing note - though I do see where you are coming from in this.

The confusion in his head is better likened to a booming cacophany of unresolved dissonance; imagine a bag of cats hysterically shrieking inside your skull. Unrelenting. For eternity.

That kind of thing.

Imagine, now, what a garbled swirl of inanities such a head will produce, and release into the unsuspecting ether!

A discussion of consonance and dissonance in music is most apt in consideration of our demented, cat-plagued brother where it tells us that it (he) "...can be difficult for some people to listen to, because of the unreleased tension."
http://cnx.org/content/m11953/latest/

But we love him all the same....not for any quality particular to him, but because we are broad-minded people.

Advice to newbies: treat people as you would in everyday, dont spend too long in the bathroom, and mind you dont trip on the Jew-haters sprawled at the door on your way in (step over them - if you must).

Default welcome aboard!

Actually I have to disagree, I'm the one who is always right. Just ask me!

By the mid-19th century unique had developed a wider meaning, “not typical, unusual,” and it is in this wider sense that it is compared. The comparison of so-called absolutes in senses that are not absolute is standard in all varieties of speech and writing.

What you'll also find is that between Stekim and Rebellion one of them always tells the truth and the other one always lies. This gets especially confusing when they agree on something.
There is also a member on this board that always posts ridiculous comments with no bearing on reality because he finds them amusing and hopes someone else does.

But I've started more useless off-topic threads than anyone else. I am a triumph of quantity over quality.
