Actually I don't think I am but can we stop all the Cod challenge threads now. No one can tell who is for real and who isn't and it is such a waste of time replying to threads that aren't real

oh shiny, that was funny

ahundredtimes · 09/03/2008 18:38

I think the challenge is funny, it'll be over in a few days. I don't think it attacks the ethos of MN or anything as pompous as that does it?

Anyway, I'd like to be in cod's clique but am too lazy to do the challenge, so I'm just going to lie back on my sofa next to Franny, and we are going to raise lazy eyebrows at you all.

FrannyandZooey · 09/03/2008 18:40

it's a huge and violent reaction cat, to something rather silly and small IMO

have you had a problem with cod for a long time?

I think Dior's points are relevant and has helped me understand what some people are concerned about

FrannyandZooey · 09/03/2008 18:41

oh gosh yes that's what I need 100

would you rub my neck? no not there, just there

mmm

[pops grape in Franny's mouth]

I don't like it when everyone picks on Cod.

OracleInaCoracle · 09/03/2008 18:42

but its NOT something small and silly, and i dont think anyone really has a problem with cod, jsut with the challenge

Twiglett · 09/03/2008 18:42

did you just call me pompous you repetitive crone?

Carmenere · 09/03/2008 18:42

I don't think that the challenge was intended to be anything other than a bit of fun, but in reality it is a bit of a pain in the arse. That said, it will be over soon and forgotten sooner. I'm still allowed moan about it

ahundredtimes · 09/03/2008 18:43

Yup.

[tosses Twig a grape]

BBBee · 09/03/2008 18:43

freedom

FrannyandZooey · 09/03/2008 18:43

lissie I think a LOT of people on here have huge problems with cod

and your comment about the scuttlebuggers thread thing shows this isn't just about the challenge for you IMO

100 you didn't PEEL it

FrannyandZooey · 09/03/2008 18:43

Carmenere good post

100x: "I don't like it when everyone picks on Cod."

Surely if you live by the sword, you die by the sword. I don't see cod complaining.

Cod can and will throw down whatever challenge she wants. Anyone (including her) who acts on it is just a bit sad.

JodieG1 · 09/03/2008 18:47

When lot's of people are getting upset and being put off posting then it's not fun anymore is it.

JodieG1 · 09/03/2008 18:48

lots not lot's

catinthehat · 09/03/2008 18:48

Well, KM and Franny, you can use the search facility the same as the rest of us.

Are you(F&Z)sure you've got the venom & violence thing right though?

WanderingTrooley · 09/03/2008 18:49

I do get what you mean, Dior - and yes, it is a shame if someone misses out on a bit of advice - but I really don't think anyone is going to troll something serious in Relationships or Feeling Depressed. You're more likely to find something in AIBU or Chat.

ahundredtimes · 09/03/2008 18:51

Well nothing wrong with being a bit sad blueshoes.

Nothing wrong at all.

I expect we are all a little bit sad from time to time.

I am lazy and a little bit sad.

What does that sword thing mean exactly? I've never really understood it outside the context of soldiering. Is it about accepting criticism if you hand it out?

FrannyandZooey · 09/03/2008 18:52

? not sure what you mean on either count

I found your posts on here disproportionately cross to the supposed offence, though, yes

blueshoes · 09/03/2008 18:56

for you, 100X: live by the sword die by the sword
