it's a tag. I add Tony Ray to all of mine. I have alot of people (okay, my mom.... but she does!!!:p) who read me and aren't members of this site. It just makes it easier for people to find who or what they are looking for when they search. I'm sure it has nothing to do with anyones "rise to stardom" or popularity. It's just a tag. (why am I reading you so much tonight!! Has thoughts been reduced to this?! I kid I kid....... but why?)

Some people like what the popular people write, its that simple. It would make it easier for me to harass(still kidding.... I think) you if you added a "brainstormer" tag to all of your posts

huh?

FOR ME--er, YOU--TO POOP ON!!

I know all that. Just venting a random passing thought:P It just strikes me funny from time to time...Yes, in your case, it bores me:P In her case, I find it amusing...not sure why:)

You two play nice before I have to bring out my whips and chains and take you two both to the cleaners... hahaha

lol!! see heather talk like that will keep me hanging around, and I'm not so sure brainstormer (I didnt use BS!!! WTF! I'm really not acting right tonight!!) wants my kind of riff-raff polluting his posts:p

He didn't use...and then he uses it...brilliant. ANd, thank you, whoever flagged this one:P Woo! Let's make it a party! Come on, if TRH can get drunk and rowdy...so can the rest of us sober cats. Let's get buzzed and pee on the furniture. Come awn down! You're the next contestant on the blog is wrong!

Hey now.. there is NO way I am going to be the reason arch thoughts enemies become best friends! I am sooooo stepping out of this conversation! rotf

well actually the only buzz I'm on is (as papabear just pointed out) euphoria. I've had my son tonight and it's just been beyond wonderful. Thought while I was feeling all warm and kind I'd try to see if I could maybe clear up some stuff.... (you know, the I hate you with a passion, if I could ever lay hands on you I'd....... yeah see I'm trying to squash that) Whats funny is when I layed aside my hateful feelings I see that I kind of like your posts. IDK man. but maybe you're not so bad.

and I'd really love to have a crack at the flagger, but its your post and I'll just wait for your play on that.

Glad you had a nice time with your son.

I see you are in a firey mood to play Wayne, Thoughts.com cop, lately:P Feel free to have at. It's almost fun to watch you play hero:P I was about to spout off myself. Something fishy just happened to a few posts.

like we might have a random flagger? whats the haps cat. loop me in and I'll see what I can do.

Oh Stormy, MY GOD!!!
Are you still trying to figure me out??
lol...
you really crack me up ..

I am just me and whatever mystery there is about me,
is as much a mystery to me as it is to you (and others who have said that recently).

The only reason why I have a "MASTER" tag is just like what Tony said, to find it easier... you are welcome to add O-Nine or 2008-great to yours too. BUT then you will be tormented by seeing all my crazy posts everytime you click on it!

Have fun .. and how's about forgetting about me!! lol :)

ohhhh and Pfffft to the "stardom" bit ... if I was a star here I would've been flown first class to vegas and been treated like a Star.. didn't happen.. I'd re-think your assessment of me.

What's the big deal? I have tagged all my blogs almost since the beginning with Raj.....I don't see the big deal here.

I have never even looked at people's tags...what?!?!

I basically just add tags because I can't post if I don't! I am going to add Ellie2008! LOL! We still read EZ because we love reading her honest, genuine, and humorous posts, NOT because of her tags!

mr. brainstormer, why do you even care? Do you want to be on the "popular list?" There should be no jealousy here. You both write well, about different things. You can't compare the two. Just keep writing what brainstormer writes...dammit! I come in peace :)

Way to go eagle eyes! :)

As I said, a random passing thought, people. Something that crossed my mind a while ago. In fact, I am not sure why I posted it now....I swear I said it before...deja vu perhaps.

Easy, I'm just gabbing:P Just releasing some hot air or passing gas as it escapes my "lips". Nothing to figure out, really. You just have the most to say, so no one can see past it. In fact, the tag is worthless...your posts are everywhere. And, when you are on that list, it's easier to find you there than by typing in a flag. So, it has no value, no trick, no worthwhile link. It just struck me curious. But, like I say, this is an old story.

There clearly was another reason you weren't flown to Vegas. That too is an old story left unturned.

Luci, NOW you turn up on one of my posts?:P WHY? Why first now? Where have you been hiding and who gossipped? Frankly, the popular list thing is dead. Times have changed over the YEAR(singular). Apparently. No, they can have that list now and take the stars with it. They all have lost their meaning. This wasn't supposed to be a popularity contest to begin with...and look what it does when they say it is one.

Isn't it interesting who all shows up when someone's name is mentioned in a post:) Or when a post gets flagged by some random passerby for that matter.

Here's the real tip to finding someone's work. If you want to read a poem, type in POEM. Or STORY for stories. And, if you want to find a particular poster...hey, here's a larf...jot down their ID! Or look for them in the lists(recent posts, popular posts(can't miss someone like E2S there), etc.) or those listed at the bottom of the forum main page. That's all it takes.

Again, just a random passing thought;P No alarms needed. I have no more issues with Ms. Easy.

Too complicated. I only know how to write, with little or no care for how it may be accepted or rejected. In fact I assume that most of what I've written during the past half century will only be consumed with favor long after I'm gone. That's OK with me. Everybody knows who Van Gogh is though he never sold a painting during his short life. How many people will know any of US in one hundred years?

I don't even look at the tags :D Don't understand why people get so obsessed with being read. Why write if the only thing you want is just for people to read it. Why not just write...to write? /shrugs

Interesting, though. Notice your posts are being flagged as inappropriate. Seems you hit a nerve with someone. Figured out their secret on how they became famous! Too funny...
