Gwen
Thanks for your support!
"If the alleged burglars are keeping ink on our pages, perhaps we should support burglary. An interesting conundrum that we'll debate in editorial meetings."
Here's an idea you could bring up in your meetings, each week you could feature someone who is not a burglar and is in fact, against burglary. Similar to the articles on moms. You could ask them the tough questions like "So, you're against burglary huh? Why's That?" You know except in journalist language. It would probably sound better coming from you. I'm just sayin'.

What good fun this has been. I haven't laughed out loud while sitting all by myself in a long time. Best of all, not one personal attack nor any blame heaped upon present or past presidents. Delightful.

Oh yeah, lotsa ladies go commando these days. Don't know if you can point to evolution, but surely the women's movement had a hand in letting us know that it's okay and certainly a right. Besides, Dr. Oz says it's healthier.

Again, I am against burglary, French or otherwise. Toodles!

"Just out of curiosity, seriously, is pirating of the role of moderator of a story forum a form of burglary? What do you think, Gwen?"

Now you have your answer.

You have yet to say if you're against burglary or not. So who's not answering questions now? (holds finger up to ear and says "HUH?")

I'm just glad the ladies haven't started burgling dudes underwear. I think it's very uncomfortable to go commando.

Although there may be health benefits to going commando I don't think it out weighs the naughtiness of burglary or the awesomeness of being against burglary.

seriouslyfolks:

When you told me I hadn't answered on my position on burglary yet, it was not a startling revelation to me as I had, in that same post, acknowledged that I have not yet stated my position. Sometimes, I think the obvious eludes you in your sanctimonious anti-burglary ivory tower. It may be that I am unsure of how I feel about burglary. Some great pro-burglary points have been made here about the economy as well as job securities. I had not thought of the news source position in this debate before Gwen brought it to our attention, but, like Blackshirt, I had wondered about our men and women in blue. I personally know a couple of police officers who very much enjoy their jobs. Not only do they gain a great sense of accomplishment when they have protected us from a criminal, but they also seem to relish the opportunities they get to inform the criminals of what idiots they are. I wouldn't want to be responsible for taking that away from them.

I must take a moment to point out to YY4U that drug trafficking in Central America does not seem YY2ME.

People, please consider this: seriouslyfolks may, in fact be burgling this forum right in front of us, but doing so in such an open manner that not even Gwen suspects him. Burglars can use very diversionary tactics. Could this be a ploy to get us so distracted by a conversation that we forget to pay attention to him doing the very thing he has us talking about? Caution, my friends. Caution!

I cannot get those Pennsylvanian jelly beans that create talked about out of my head. I think I will see about ordering some online.

And, seriously, as you await my verdict on my burglary position, I continue to await your definition of "burglary." A girl cannot be too protective of her fairy tale fantasy hunk, you know.

Perhaps you could burgle moderatorship of one of these forums for a pro or anti-gun trafficking discussion. I bet people have opinions they want to share on that subject as well.

Just thought I'd update you a little on the Pennsylvania jellybean burglary.

Burglar breaks into North East Township home, takes jellybeans, leaves

NORTH EAST -- State police are looking for an apparently sweet-toothed burglar who broke into a home, stole jellybeans and left.
Police said the burglar broke the window in the front door of a home in the 12000 block of East Lake Road in North East Township sometime between 7 and 11:59 p.m. on April 24. Once inside, the burglar took some jellybeans sitting on the dining room table and left.
Police said no other property inside the home was missing or moved. .

I am against jellybean burglars for sure. And now I am craving jellybeans. Dang! There isn't a jelly bean on the premises.

crackinsack....

Extremely well stated and a tribute to our dialogue on burglars and the burgled.....but it appears to me that our friend Sven may be strattling the fence as to just where he stands on this sanctimonious ivory tower issue. Of course this in only my unburgaled opinion.

seriouslyfolks (anonymous) says...

Jellybean burglaries will probably go up if they legalize weed, something to think about.

As to my definition of burglary, well there's got to be stuff and at least two dudes or ladies, and one of said dudes or ladies has got to think to themself, "I look around and I see everybody's got stuff, I want stuff, where's my stuff?" Then he or she sees the other dude or lady's stuff and says, "I think I'll take that stuff so I'll have stuff cuz I want stuff." and they do. That's my definition of burglary. That's what happened to Sven. He was dude #2 and it turned him into dude #1 cuz he no longer had stuff and he missed having stuff.

I'm pretty sure that the "something" you refer to is stuff. It's all very technical.

So if somebody takes your stuff without illegal entry......does that then mean its now their stuff and your bad luck?

If somebody takes your stuff without illegal entry, I think it means you're divorced and your ex-old lady has all your stuff. Sorry.

Speaking of ex-wifes ! My ex-wifes ( Stuff ) had been ( ahem ) burgled, several times by different burglars, thats why she is my ex-wife ! Welllll, perhaps her ( Stuff ) wasn't exactly burgled, as there was absolutely no ( breaking and entering ), on the part of the burglar anyway !
Sorry, I got a little sidetracked !

seriouslyfolks,

When my attorney presented the undisputable evidence to the divorce court Judge, the Judge, my attorney and myself thought it was pretty funny that my ex-wife and her attorney were denying the ( Stuff ) burglary ever happened !
Needless to say my ex-wife and her attorney were not laughing in the end !
I still get a good laugh whenever I hear how many partners or husbands she has gone thru and how many times her ( Stuff ) has apparantely been the object of burglaries !

biscuitboy,

Honest, I really am so sorry to reveal your misfortune, but you see, I was able to recognize your situation immediately because the truth is, you see, (drum roll + symbols) I used to be an ex-wife. Not one like Methusla's I'm quick to say -- that one takes the cake and I do mean "take" as in burglar, first degree.

But how can I say I used to be an ex-wife? Once an ex-wife, always an ex-wife, right? Even after 40 years. Look at methusla, he still calls her "my ex-wife."

Funny stuff, methusla. Funny, funny.

"that one takes the cake and I do mean "take" as in burglar, first degree."

Oooohhhhhhhh!! CAKE!!!!! You're right! Forget the jelly beans. I would burgle cake. Wedding cake, birthday cake, chocolate cake, strawberry shortcake, cupcakes.............all burgle-worthy. Of course, the ideal is that the cake-owner offers me some, but if they don't, burglary is the only option left. You don't just walk away from cake--or at least I don't.
I guess I may not be as undecided on my stance on burglary after all.

create,
You know, if I would have had any idea, when I was dating " my ex-wife ", before I married her, that her ( Stuff ) was so easly to burgle, I would have done some burgling before hand and never bothered with " marriage " !

While I am against burglary in general, and am in favor of shopping Emporia first, does anyone on here know what a subscription to the Topeka Capital Journal costs, and if home delivery is available in Emporia? Just wondering.

romano1784 (anonymous) says...

Steve_Corbin the yes you can get the Topeka Capital at home and the price is very competitive. You just have to compete with your neighbor to see who can be up and out your door first.
I am against "burgling" but is it still burgling if you go into someones house and leave a jar of jellybeans? im just curious.
also curious: if a bi-sexual go missing do you put their picture on a carton of half and half? If i marry two midgets is that big of me? im confused.
i do know two things. 1. Bert and Ernie are gay, and 2. burgling is bad.
