Obviously you haven't met yourdadonapogostick. :confused:

Well, my dad used to hop around on a pogo stick, so I can understand that one. But if there's honest rosewater, it implies there is DIShonest rosewater, which seems to be unfairly smearing rosewater! :confused:

I have to agree that it's a baffling name. The explanation she recently proffered just confused me more.

But it is a fact that not everything (or everyone) smells as rosewater.
Hence, a motivation might exist to disguise the true smell as rosewater smell.
That would be connected to dishonest rosewater, I think.
 
I told this story in Les' etymology thread. Rosewater does not refer to the rosewater made from rose petals. I had some cut roses sitting in water in a vase, as people do. After removing the wilting roses, I noticed they had imparted a very pleasing, unique, complex scent to the water, and I thought it would be a shame to just throw this away. So I tried to find some use for it. But along with the beautiful smell, the roses had left dirt, leaves, and who knows what pesticides and microscopic organisms, making the water unfit for any purpose I could think of; I couldn't figure out how to separate the desirable parts from the undesirable. After a few days, the smell turned sickly and the water clouded; I had to throw most of it out, but I saved part of it in my new pen name: Rosewater.

Later, when I was thinking of changing my legal name, I chose Honest for my first name, Waking for my middle name, and Rosewater was an obvious choice for my last name. I was almost Honest Waking Rosewater. I still might change it some day. :smile:
 
Again: more confused than I was before.

This, at least, explains your extraordinary interest in logic. :-p

What is confusing?

Great now I'm confused. How exactly does that explain it? :confused:

Lol. You shouldn't let us all know how easy it is to wind you up. :wink: (It's a joke, suggesting your explanation is funny, and you are obsessed with logic because you need it so much.)

My explanation was funny? What do you mean, funny? Let me understand this cause, I don't know maybe it's me, I'm a little ****ed up maybe, but I'm funny how? I mean, funny like I'm a clown, I amuse you? I make you laugh... I'm here to ****in' amuse you? What do you mean funny, funny how?



(Eh, in case anyone thinks I'm accosting Les, that's from a movie - it's meant to be funny; You know, me getting so easily wound up and such. So now that it's not funny anymore...[/size] :rolleyes:)

Apparently, remembering that line is a requirement of all Logic Guru nominees.

Honest Waking...? You wake up honest, but then get sort of duplicitous as the day wears on?
 
zoobyshoe said:

Do zoobies have no souls?! :cry: (I bet there's a story behind it either way.)[/size]
And no, as the day wears on, I get contumacious or whatever big word I just learned!

No, on your birthday, I want to give you ! as a peresent, because you're one of my buddies. :wink:

You're very easygoing. :smile:
 
I was just thinking I would like to see some thread/post awards rather than just the member specific awards.

For instance:

longest post
funniest post (the Sprayed Monitor Award)
most pointless argument
most obnoxious thread (gee, what would that be)
etc.

On the other hand, while content plays an important part of PF, what makes PF really special are the inmates ..... er ... I mean the people, yes, that's it. The PEOPLE that make up PF. Without such nutty people, there will no thread/post of any significance.

:)

Zz.
 
longest post- In franzbear, where me and YDOAPS put 20,000 exclamation point in our post.
funniest post (the Sprayed Monitor Award)- oh, there are so many!
most pointless argument-The Politics forum altogether?
most obnoxious thread (gee, what would that be)- I hope not fanzbear!
etc.- I have no idea who would win that award..

:smile: :smile: So which person should receive the award for the most pointless argument? Perhaps the one who posts more in That forum.
 
how about greg just posts it above the politics forum?
 
most informative post or thread, most thought-provoking, most fun to read...
 
That explains why cows have tails.
