Xero means ‘dry’ in Greek so it makes sense I guess.

I love how contentious people saying that grass lawns are a waste of time is. Just some awesome work by Pepsi in the last few pages.

I had my back yard done this year finally. Rock and mulch with shrubs that hopefully do well. I will keep the front lawn because it’s fun to mow, not that big and looks nice when I’m done. It’s totally a vanity thing, guilty as charged.

Weirdo posters can even imagine me peeing in a zen garden if they need to for their mental health. It's a cure-all.
I’m putting a baby pepsifree peeing statue fountain as the centrepiece to my zen garden.

It’s just one of those predictable opinions expressed online by people who feel they’re superior to muggles. Typically (as it was here) accompanied by sneers about the suburbs, minivans, consumerism, etc. I recognize my younger self in the posturing, so it elicits a chuckle rather than anger.

Or maybe some people are aware of how much time they actually spend looking after their property when they could be doing something else. I didn’t mind doing it and had one of the nicest yards on my street but when I broke it all down I was spending 4 hours a week looking after mostly a lawn. Plus in my area it’s all clay with a bit of topsoil which can make it hard to look after a lawn even.

I chimed in because of another poster bringing up the very good point about why the guy hadn't been banned by now. It's a good point, I'd say.

If you want distraction-free threads maybe stop addressing the distraction in such a way that you know I'm going to have to address it with a reply? I was more than willing to let my initial comment be a one and done until you guys kept quoting it and dragging it out.

I've been a peaceful poster for probably 95% of my existence here and probably will remain that way, as long as Pepsi stays on his side of the proverbial fence.

If he starts taking runs at me again like when he fully knew I had him on ignore, you bet it's getting run up the ladder to the mods.
Stop being such a goober

I've tried a couple of Hostile Takeovers of CP in the past.

I even ran for 'President of the Internet' during the last lockout. That was a grim time.

If anything Trump was copying my insane putsch for Ultimate Power.

Hand me the Keys and this place will run as smoothly as vintage USSR or modern-day North Korea without the homicidal mania.

My first act would be to implement a CP Nuclear program.

And then the cleansings...

From campaigning for bannings and breaking down 3 months’ worth of perceived transgressions he’s been obsessing about the entire time to “Wow, boring summer for you guys huh? Lol!” in 18 hours, and you mock him?

We must laud his impressive display of emotional intelligence. This is now the high water mark and it’s up to the rest of us to live up to this inspiring act of maturity and how he has moved passed this extreme conflict (someone said something he didn’t like on the internet once).

How about we start talking about something a little more interesting, like preferred methods of Kraft Dinner preparation or perhaps a debate over which Calgarypuck moderator is the biggest nerd. I certainly have strong opinions on both topics!
