I never sanctioned the use of my name and image in association with this premier dance event!
[EDIT: I have cancelled the giant foam-filled inflatable pawns. But I won't be getting my deposit back.]

If you want to look up my educational background, then contact my University at valdosta.edu. I believe their phone number's on their page also. Just because I misspell a word that I haven't used in a long time doesn't mean anything. You've shown your ignorance. It was just a typo in a post... in a thread. Geez. I guess I should start grading your posts also like they were a research paper in a Univesity. Goof Ball! Also, e-mails and posts in threads are excluded from such intense scrutiny due to the recreational atmosphere in which my comments reside. You would know that if you had any brains at all. Of course, I know you only take the smallest mistakes I make on here and attempt to turn them into targets for flaming. I don't really care myself. But, I guess it shows how much I get under your skin - how much you think of me and how little I think of you in my everyday world. I am sorry you are not educated, and feel that you need to strike out with someone with an education. I completely understand your insecurities. Maybe you should attempt to achieve educational credentials, so that you won't feel the need to tear down others who have bested you in life.
Shhh,he claims that "I have two four year degrees and nearly a Masters of Arts in English LIterature."

I hope you enjoy being my better.
Originally posted by XanthosNZIf anyone wants to wash my car then let me know. Perfect timing, the snow is melting and i'm sure any car would like a wash. You can flip my burgers also.

Originally posted by XanthosNZYes, but it does allow you to walk into a room and not feel awkward when other educated people are speaking of their graduate school days... and suddenly, someone in the group asks you, "Oh, by the way, where did you go to college?" You either lie or respond, "Oh, I just barely finished high school." In fact, I know a millionaire who once told my ex-wife she intimidates him. He said, "I'm very wealthy, and a great businessman, but I never got a college degree. All the money I have isn't worth what a good education is worth. I envy you sometimes." My ex-wife only made 30k a year at that point working for the state, but she received a degree from a top 20 school - UC Berkeley, and that is an accomplishment worth much more than having a few bills in the bank. It's something eternal no one can take away from you - no matter if you end up homeless on the street. Education is not a means to get a job. It's a cultural journey, an experience to make you more well rounded. I did not say I was your better Xanthos. I said, simply meant that I've bettered those people over 30 who haven't gone to graduate school, or have gotten two degrees. I have not bettered them as people or individuals, and even then I do not brag about my educational endeavors. In fact, I only just mentioned it on here in a comment in a thread, and now everyone goes wild. I think successes of another often intimidate people. I've only bettered them at a formal education. There's a difference. Don't twist my words. I can befriend a pauper as well a millionaire. Makes no difference to me.

Originally posted by XanthosNZAnd, I do detect sarcasm. In fact, I've used it much on here, and I think you're the one who fails to detect it. 🙂 I never take anything series on RHP. Anyway, what does a Kiwi have to do with critiqueing an American? I mean, if it weren't for America, your country would be taken over by a Communist Regime or some Totalitarian idiot! Give me a break!

New Zealand water is awesome though. Fresh. And, don't go bragging about the fact your country named the Kiwi fruit or the shoe polish. I think I'll flip my lid. HAHA!
