Looks like most people have returned from Triggertown. That's good. It's ok to visit there from time to time as long as we remember that Stokeville is a MUCH nicer place to live!

I don't reply to negative comments made in Triggertown because I know it's not the true nature of the people making them, and it's just a transitory phase.

Musk Ox,, my time, as everyone's, is precious.
Your first reply was an honest one with lots of good questions and I was gearing up to answer them all when I had the time. But then you started going on and on about nipples, derailing the discussion and cheapening it. Making fun of it. You must realize this lessens my eagerness to spend time giving you detailed answers to your questions?

I live in Stoke City. I'm an infinite being with limitless potential, and so are all of you!
Don't expect me to make myself small. Instead make yourselves large. Expand. Believe in yourselves. Keep it pure. Keep the Stoke.
I am genuinely concerned about your cold nipples.

Edit: For context, I am an infinitely loving mammal filled with compassion and limitless concern. It fills me with great sadness that you cannot see that I am attempting to reach out to you across the void with untriggered kindness and wooly hygge. Believe in love, Mikael. Try it. You are worth it. You have nothing to lose. Your life will only be richer.

When you are ready, love is waiting for you.

Like lichen on an arctic rock waiting to be nibbled.
Definitely true...Musk, you are like the old wise but with horns...

I do have another concern; well it sort of conjugates with yours, you will see:

If Michael is going out in Transnordic high boots and red underwear, does it make him a sort of Nordic Trans Ski Hooker, a NTSH? I mean I would like to discuss this topic cold headed, with a scholastic tone...

Woah Woah Woah Woah! Who's in Triggertown now? You are not feeling the love and attention the Great Muskie Of the North (temporarily Copenhagen) is giving you here. You are trivializing it. He doesn't shower attention on anyone, you know? This is a great honor. Sit back and read around the forum a bit. You will see. Learning the ways of the Sense of Humour makes for long life and much love to spread around the peoples. Bask in the glow of the Musk, find a path to laughter!

You are a Viking it is clear. All the Great Vikings had great laughs and fun jokes and witty verses. Be the Great Viking you were meant to be!

Sorry for going against the grain here but this guy is a braggart. Making absurd proclamations, wearing only bright red shorts in January, spewing the peace/love drivel, bragging about how hardcore he was when younger...doesn't make him a bad person or a bad skier but it sure is annoying.

Skis are like cameras-

The best camera is the one in your hand.

The best ski is the one on your feet.

Very true... I would add: the best frying pan is on your stove top... not on your roof (unless the sun is very strong...).

Wine absolutely! Who needs the wine talk of the sophisticates?

Get that but cut him some slack; it is a generational thing coupled with excessive, prescriptive technology.

I've given him, what, 3 or 4 opportunities to drop the act and just be genuine, and he always goes for the cheap shot. I don't vibe well with people that are unable to be real and has to turn everything into a joke. Not worth my time or energy

I could say the same for the general vibe here lately. I'm not gonna keep pouring energy into this place only for it to be met with childish acting out. I will not be dragged down to that level. So, until some of the triggering turns into breakthroughs, my energy is better spent elsewhere, like skiing. Enjoy your sandbox and do let me know if some expansion happens that will make it worth my time again.
