Whenever I eat anything, my entire menu ends up on the front of my dress.
“Ah, you’ve had lunch at the Indian place,” says a friend after glancing on my chest. “Why didn’t you call me? I would have loved to join you.”

With me it’s glasses. I gesticulate with my hands a lot while talking. Last weekend was a personal record. I knocked off a full glass of water three times during the course of a meal. They had to move us to a different table twice.
Sorry Cafe Santorini waiters, but I hope you enjoyed the extra gratuity!

“I knocked off a full glass of water three times during the course of a meal.”
So Stringer Boy, you kept repeatedly parting the waters symbolically, while you thought that you were merely making a public fool of yourself. Could it be that you were subconsciously repeatedly mimicking the hand of Moses at the Red Sea, showing your inner decency at supporting the beleaguered State of Israel, while you outwardly misguidedly embrace its enemies? 🙂 🙂

That was … a tortured analogy. I would say you can do better but then I would be lying.
There’s a reason you’ve been called dumb, by none other than the owner of this blog itself. Don’t forget your place.

That statement itself is a lie. Clarissa and I have disagreed on a number of issues, but she’s never called me dumb or any other childish insults. (That’s your specialty, isn’t it?) 🙂

I walk around looking like an impressionist painting as a result.

Is this a case of a person answering their own question?

Oh, I’m sorry. She didn’t call you dumb. She just said:
“Scott Walker and his supporters are too intellectually limited to understand what they are even talking about. I wish they just went away and concentrated on regulating fantasy football or whatever.”
to your uneducated drivel about tenure where you confused college professors with ‘unqualified, incompetent teachers on the taxpayers dime’.
Here’s a link to refresh your memory:
Will you ever stop embarrassing yourself?

@Stringer Boy
Talk about “tortured analogies” — Clarissa regularly insults GROUPS of people with whom she disagrees (Scott Walker supporters, Republicans in general, Putin-lovers, etc.) , and she does occasionally get rightfully angry at commenters who insult her.
But she has NEVER directed an insult at me personally, as you claimed. Unless you can find a post than demonstrates otherwise, your unresearched statement remains a lie.
And you can’t embarrass me. I have no shame — don’t need it around people like you! 🙂

Dreidel: says something dumb.
Stringer: points out Dreidel’s dumbness.
Clarissa: replies to Stringer saying yeah, these people sure are dumb aren’t they?Dreidel: phew, for a minute I thought she was talking about me.
Whatever makes you feel better. 🙂

Ok, folks, I’m starting to feel like Grandpa Lenin here, cited as a huge moral authority. I’m not sure I’m ready for the role just yet.

Actually, she’s talking about herself, to readers in general: Notice the word “I’m” three times in her comment, and no mention of Stringer or Dreidel. (Is “Folks” your nickname? It’s isn’t mine.)
Is your reading comprehension really as bad as your physical coordination in restaurants?
As for OUR conversation (yours and mine, Stringer Boy), Elvis has already left the building. If you want to waste your time making a final comment so you can have the last word, be my guest. 🙂
