Local Cali organization stealing the hand sign!!!!!!!!!!
 

I don't Know about anyone else, but this bothers me. What the
f--K!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Handsigns can't be copyrighted or trademarked, sorry homie.

Re: Local Cali organization stealing the hand sign!!!!!!!!!!
 

Then I guess the Zetas would have a problems with U of Texas Longhorn fans, too. Funny my daughter, a UT grad alumna was constantly throwing up the Longhorn sign during the Bowl game and she is a Delta.

Is this a predominantly white org?

Asian - founded in the 60s.

Yes, it unfortunate. It's kind of like the beef between some Zetas and Omega Pearls over the hand sign.

I consur with Senusret; there is really nothing you can do about it. Besides, it is not that serious; it is a rather trivial matter you are getting all worked up about. Let it go, partner.

RM: Certain things that may seem trivial to non-members are, in fact, SERIOUS MATTERS to members.

I hear ya SisterGreek. But really, what is a hand sign when you know you are the REAL deal?

That is true. I know that my initial reaction would have been similar to KAP's, especially if it were an organization of a certain persuasion that should "know better" (thus my inital question).

It peeves me when non-members act like we are overreacting to things that they know NOTHING about.

I definitely agree with your last sentence.

One question
 

I have one question for you, Skee:

What the ________ are you high-and-mighty "members" are going to do about this matter besides b[el]ch, moan, whine, and complain? Sue them? Protest? Organize a boycott? Lobby Congress to trademark/copyright handsigns? What are you going to do?

*hears nothing from the peanut gallery*

That's right, Skee, NOTHING!

So by all accounts, you are overreacting, a typical result of folk who worship the organizations they are in.

ETA: To paraphrase your own words, Skee, It peeves me when members overreact to things that they know that can do NOTHING about.

What, so now, unless a direct action is taken, all OPINIONS are null and void? So unless you DO something, you can't THINK anything? Am I to understand this correctly?

Who, exactly, determines when and if someone is overreacting? As I understand it, this has nothing to do with you, so it would seem to me that YOU are the one overreacting. I mean, what are you going to do about the fact that people hold an opinion on this matter?

*crickets*

Just as I thought. Another ETERNAL WHATEVER overreacting (and implying that we worship anything OTHER than our Creator when we got folks on here worshipping GAME SHOW HOSTS), a typical response from someone suffers from a Walter Mitty complex. Do you sometimes daydream about being in a D9 org?

It peeves me when people keep stirring the same pot yet wondering why the soup is still cooking.

MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is so wrong with some things being important to people that are NOT important to you???? I could give 1,908 flying rats behinds about a game show, a man with a perm, a mullet, WHATEVER, but that does NOT mean I'm going to say it's TRIVIAL to YOU. You like it? I LOVE it. Why can't you do the same? If I threw a FIT about somebody throwing up the pinky, WHY DO YOU CARE? Why?

Let it die. We love everything about our organization that you hate. Including the little insignificant hand signs and our piddly colors and simple mascots/symbols. You know what, all of it is stupid. I'm not even sure why anyone wasted their time coming up with MEANINGS behind such stupid, piddly, trivial things such as a hand sign or a color. My gosh. Who has that much time on their hands? Do you know how many game shows they could have watched while they were wasting time on this piddly fecal-type matter?

:rolleyes:

Same chit, different day or year for that matter.......
 

If she's late, then you're never arriving because per your own search...

Bobby Earl told you that years ago.................

:o

Re: Re: RainmanJoe (THIS is why I'm the Joe Pyne of such matters)
 

Bush and an Asian GLO aren't the same thing. He's one person. They are a group.

Any GLO that uses a hand sign has or should have a meaning behind it. I believe that this GLO might feel rather stupid if they knew they were using someone else's hand sign. Unless they're doing it on purpose - which is a whole other matter.

Another NPC has recently been using a "purpose" phrase very similar to my NPC's motto since 1901. Does this tick me off? Yes. Did I get steamed when I first saw it? Yes. Am I having daily fits about it? No. Am I mentioning when I see a member use it "hey, that's really similar to our motto, ya know"? Oh HECK yes. Because if they don't know, they should.

We're talking about an INITIAL reaction that a member had and wanted to share with his fellow members. It's not like he said he was going to go and shoot their puppies or something.

Re: Re: Re: RainmanJoe (THIS is why I'm the Joe Pyne of such matters)
 

But he just might, which is why we need to diffuse the situation now!!!!

Think of the puppies!

he he

I think Soror Ideal and Bobby Earl said everything I wanted to say.

Rain Man, you know that you DO NOT want it with me.

Okay Rain Man, between this thread and your thread on AKA Avenue I have to ask--what is going on with you? Are you off your meds or something? :confused:

Ideal--girl I don't think I have ever read you going off before--you scared me. :eek: But you hit the nail on the head--whew!

Hahaha I was thinking the same thing. TEH PILLZ! WHERE'S TEH PILLZ?

:rolleyes: I won't even dignify that with an answer.

NEXT!

DAMN!

DAMN DAMN DAMN!

It's about to get CRUNK in hurrrrrr!

*popping popcorn in my mouth*

Yet, you just wasted how many keystrokes typing this reply?

Actually, when you "debate" you detract from the topic at hand by interjecting a series of nonsensical game show references that casts utter confusion over your entire argument. You speak as if you are the authority over issues that you know absolutely NOTHING about and that should be of NO concern to you. That is a sure sign of the ignorant arrogance that makes YOU the joke of greekchat.

Plus, your personal character/personality IS laughable. You go out of your way to advertise your eccentric (a nice way to describe it) qualities- don't get offended when I thoroughly, publicly clown you. You put it out there.

At least we agree on something ;)

It was a serious question. I am really concerned. :(

Ooh wee! I'm getting my drama fix for today! *rubs my hands*

Like I said, Skee, less than 3% of ALL my posts contain a game show reference (not counting sig files), so your argument is rather weak.

Unless you are willing to enlighten me with some of this "knowledge" you assume you possess, you don't know any more than I do.

In other words: PUT UP OR SHUT UP! :mad:

That's a lame excuse to justify your silly behavior for brownie points by other GCers and I won't accept it.

If you got a beef with this or any other post(s), state your case about the content. If you're gonna go off on some tangent making lame juvenile wisecracks, save that bulljive for Ted Mack's Amateur Hour.

*As Edith Ann would say:*
And that's the truth. :p

The fact that folks are explaining themselves to others on a Greek website is funny. Let it go..it's only the internet.

Wow Rain Man. You must really be affected. I mean to join a Greek board because you want to keep us all in our place. :rolleyes: ----->

Re: OK, Skee & other greeks. You win! I concede
 

RM, you are using all these keystrokes to "explain" your opinion, but obviously (in case you haven't noticed) your opinion has been duly noted, briefly considered and summarily dismissed. :o

Re: Re: OK, Skee & other greeks. You win! I concede
 

1saavydiva, stay out of this please.

Re: Re: Re: OK, Skee & other greeks. You win! I concede
 

CTFU, I've been dismissed from the thread. :rolleyes:

...and good decision on editing your post, definitely a good choice. ;)

:(

soy el confusedo.

Dangit, I'm late!!!
 

I didn't know all of THIS was going on.

Wow! One thing though, I can't get behind editing your posts. If you put it out there, stand behind it.

Re: Dangit, I'm late!!!
 

Soror, you and I both! I haven't been on Kappa Ln. in a while and when I do roll in, the drama has been popping off for a long time! I will definitely stop by more often! :D

Re: Dangit, I'm late!!!
 

*singing a la Toni Braxton* "Just be a man about it!"

Re: Re: Dangit, I'm late!!!
 

See, look at you. He gon' tell you to stay out of this again. LOL!!

Dead issue . . . but
 

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG LS (Skee) - I knew you had that in you . . . . whew!! You had a sister DYING up in here!!! ((shaking head)). I will refrain from adding my $19.08 because you have clearly handled things up in here . . . . .

Re: Dead issue . . . but
 

OMG! :eek:

Skee clearly handled things up in here? Are you for real?

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!! Now THAT's funny.

Welcome, LitAKAtor! Your humor was most welcome and much needed. You had a brotha dying up in here.

ETA:
Skee handling things up in here (yeah, right!). :rolleyes: Now that's a joke if I ever heard one...and for the record, SkeephistAKAte didn't handle a GOT-DANG thing!

uber-confident women who can talk a lot of sh*t and hold their own in jonin' absolutely turn me on.

^^ Nice "tops" don't hurt either, right? ;) LOL

RainMan, you are such a glutton for punishment. Thanks for the additional post-concession keystrokes. You're the greatest!
