wheelwright Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 (edited) "You have become bitter and mired in yourself to the point of narcissism" Gosh, I found the above one, I believe said in good humour, takes the biscuit. It's got a 50s Noir feeling to it. Almost love it. Could have been said by Bogart playing Marlow to great effect, though the last few words would have been out of the time frame. Woops, I analysed! Anyway, what are your greatest LS put downs, and which movie star would have said them? AAghhh! Now I also know the pain of not changing a title edit - should be 'worst' - I think I may finally go under now. :-) ps Datura noir - did I try too hard yet?

I think I get a lot but won't be able to find them because someone always tattles when I come back with a response and they both get deleted. I never understood the tattle stuff. Let the nastiness stand so people can go back and see the real poster and what they are made of when someone isn't editing their posts. Link to post Share on other sites
Owl Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Well, I try not to put anyone else down, so I don't know if I've got any that I said TO someone, but I've got one that sticks in my memory pretty well from an OW that posted on here years ago...to me. She hasn't posted in several years, and quite frankly after re-reading the context...I kinda had it coming to a degree. I don't know, YOU tell me, OWL, you pathetic little whiner :) :) Somedays I miss the "good old days". Link to post Share on other sites

Author wheelwright Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share Posted January 22, 2011 (edited) Well my greatest put-down was deleted. Give us a clue - don't want to start guessing... Oh and I realise there is an ambiguity- I meant what people had said to you. Not some great put down you'd thought of for some poor soul you thought should take it!

HappyAtLast Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Mine was several years ago when someone posted to me, (after my posting that, despite being a cheater, I had never, nor would I ever cheat on my current wife) that I eventually would, that it ALWAYS happens. I was, nearly eighty years old at that point . As if..... Link to post Share on other sites
