Reply #44: Dude, my mother dressed me in Blue Paperclips [View All]

And, trust me, nobody ever asked me anything about it. Fact is, I wish you'd leave her out of this. When I want to start a conversation with people, I ask THEM about the paperclip or brown shoes, or bald head they're wearing. It's a little trick I learned from the strong desire to deflect attention away from myself (what with the paperclip trousers and all). That way, I then earn the right to introduce some of my ideas. But hey, everybody has their own devices. Personally I come here to see whole beehive. There's swarms in all directions, and I've learned from each of them. I don't really think you believe we are all wasting our time here, or that you you waste your time when you post, or you would have really stayed away. You like it here, paperclip. Make nice.
