Bront's Forums

Here's a question I've been pondering awhile. I work in the "service" industry, see also cashier at a gas station, and what I truly want to know is: Why do they call it common sense when the common every day schmuck who walks into my store doesn't possess any? Can someone please answer this for me? 

We notice the exceptions above the rules, that's why it doesn't seem so common.  We ignore the 9 people who do for the 1 who doesn't.

Well, as I live in the town where you work, I have a few things to say about that.

No.

Where you work is a thorough-fare. You see people from many zip codes, not just 60554. So that may not be an accurate cross section.

(However, my ex'es family lives in sugar grove...so that brings the average wisdom down a notch or two...)

And finally, perhaps you sense them more because they are kindred spirits? You know, birds of a feather, and all...
 

Thanks again for modeling for the picture

Homie, you just made Ash erupt peals of laughter in my ear. Gratz.

Pirates Rule! Ninjas Drool!

So where you beat up by a pirate when you were a child?

Bront are you trying to replace the hive mind? You get enough of the regulars over here you could do it. There is no Grandma Rule is there? We can get Goldmoon in here and let her go to town.

Goldmoon?  Maybe I'll start a Dragonlance thread, there is an animated movie on the horizon.

Not that Goldmoon.  Actualy, someone who used the user name before she knew about Dragonlance amazingly enough.

Aurora is here, she just doesn't check it much.  Heckler is here on occasion.

Fru is supposed to be bere, but I keeps forgetting to check into the PbP thread.

ENWorld has a grandma rule. Don't say anything you wouldn't say in front of your grandma.

Well, Eric Noah's grandma, but yes.

It was the easy way to say no swearing, fighting, or adult content.  I'm attempting to keep the forum mostly unmoderated, so I'm a lot more lenient.  The Dragonquest forums on the other hand, are a slightly different game.

They make a cream for that you know.
