Crazy Bald Dwarf Lies For No Reason

I like chris_'s term, "oblate sphereroid," and am trying to figure out how to use it creatively.

Radish. She looks radishing today. Pear. I've never seen a bigger pear.

I just realized that and came back to correct.  
Ya beat me to it.

Don't feel bad.  So many DUmmies use ordinary words for screen names, and the piss poor format of Skin's Island makes it easy to be confused by posts.

You would have thought that by the time they got to the DU3, they could have come up with a decent format, but no, they are DUmmies after all.

That, and that primitive comments on Skins's island are not listed chronologically; they sequentially jump all over in random disorder.

And some, like poor stupid Beth, have used that before, to their advantage when wanting to lie about something.

I suspect they don't do things in chronological order because Skins knew from the start that "quotes" in reference to a comment was too challenging for the primitives to figure out and use.

I like the chronological layout better like CC than DU.   It's distracting when reading their threads to see a comment that says something like : "see my comment below".

Uh huh.

Or using poor stupid Beth for an example again, a primitive can make a comment at a campfire, and as the campfire burns on, the primitive becomes aware his lie is blatantly obvious, and so manages to interject a comment further upthread to ameliorate the situation.

And so one sees the second comment covering the primitive's ass before one sees the first lie.

The reasonable thing is to assume comments are listed in chronological order (i.e., the lower down in the thread, the more recent the comment), and so one looks at the campfires that way, missing the lie.

During the Scamdal, Amityschild devised a program on Excel that put things (primitive comments) in chronological order, but nowadays I just look at a campfire and do that in my head, assorting the comments.
