Ok, ok, this was not my very best idea. It was inspired by a couple things. A MetaChat thread that asked users to compare their real life with their online personas made me realize I was a dick online a more than I am in person. Davy also pointed this out to me in a MeTa thread. Also, Quonsar defended and kind of apologized to Etheral Bligh on MetaChat. So I figured if he could do that, the least I could do was to apologize to Davy and Alex, and throw in various obscure derails and mocking of which I have been guilty. But I should have just emailed people.

So I figured if he could do that, the least I could do was to apologize to Davy and Alex, and throw in various obscure derails and mocking of which I have been guilty. But I should have just emailed people.
Just emailing people is a matter of private, not public record. This, at least, attempts to open up some common ground. So, thank you, LarryC, for the gesture and your good intentions in making it.

I'm sorry for smirking. And for that flight suit. And Mission Accomplished. And TurdBlossom. And, um, the whole My Pet Goat thing. And, you know, the rigged elections, the spoiled bitches I sired, my Mom, and those Boating Swiftly guys. Yeah, the fake TerraLerts too. And dead American soldiers, man, do I suck or what? Iraqi slaughter, Gitmo, Patriot Act, the fact that BinLaden got away, Abu Ghraib - all my fault. Casey Sheehan, the Constitution, Social Security, pretending to love Jesus, the Veep's undisclosed location that I don't even know about, and um... "Bring 'em on!". Joe, I'm real sorry about Valerie and all. I feel terrible about Uday and Qusay, oh and my Daddy says "Hey!" to you, Saddam - that was nice statue, I'm sorry our guys tipped it over. I'm real sorry about those Free Speech Zones, the Healthy Forests legislation, the Cleaner Air initiatives, and mercury levels. All those unemployed stem cell researchers, God, what was I thinking. I'm sorry Terry Schiavo died before I could put her on the bench, and I'm sorry you'll have to make do with Harriet. I'm sorry I can't offer you a drink, but I just finished the last half-gallon of vodka.

On behalf of Canadians everywhere, I'd like to offer an apology to the United States of America. We haven't been getting along very well recently and for that, I am truly sorry.
I'm sorry we called George Bush a moron. He is a moron, but it wasn't nice of us to point it out. If it's any consolation, the fact that he's a moron shouldn't reflect poorly on the people of America. After all it's not like you actually elected him.
I'm sorry about our softwood lumber. Just because we have more trees than you doesn't give us the right to sell you lumber that's cheaper and better than your own.
I'm sorry we beat you in Olympic hockey. In our defence, I guess our excuse would be that our team was much, much, much, much better than yours.
I'm sorry we burnt down your White House during the war of 1812. I notice you've rebuilt it! It's very nice.
I'm sorry about your beer. I know we had nothing to do with your beer, but we feel your pain.
I'm sorry about our waffling on Iraq. I mean, when you're going up against a crazed dictator, you want to have your friends by your side. I realize it took more than two years before you guys pitched in against Hitler, but that was different. Everyone knew he had weapons.
And finally, on behalf of all Canadians, I'm sorry that we're constantly apologizing for things in a passive-aggressive way, which is really a thinly veiled criticism.
I sincerely hope that you're not upset over this. We've seen what you do to countries you get upset with.
Regards,
CANADA
It doesn't get any better than Rick Mercer.

Pig, you have two big ears
And you cannot hear that I'm cursing you silly
Pig, you have a curling tail which you cannot run without
Pig head, pig brain, pig body and pig tail
You are a good baby who eats everything
Everyday you won't wake up till noon
And you never brush your teeth and you never fight

I'm sorry, I thought this was the apogee thread. I think it was the rapid descent into choas that fooled me. Thorazine all around!

mr_crash_davis - I'm really very sorry you felt the need to claim that you thought of that first. Seems opportunistic.
Sorry for feeling spiteful. Oh wait, no I'm not. I'm not really that grateful, either, so I guess it's OK.
I am actually sorry for that whole Biosphere2 thing. It was really a bad idea.

scarabic, go re-read my comments and discover your own confusion. And thank you for showing me the error of praising you in your MeTa thread on bike repair: the idea that you might be doing something worthwhile caused me cognitive dissonance because you're generally such a stupid dick-like twit -- thank goodness you've fixed that by showing me that you'd only use your bicycle- repair clinic to further perfect your Stupid Dick-like Twit skills.
In case anybody else failed to grasp a simple quip, I know this is (or WAS) the apology thread; I was referring to other threads where a whole lotta apoplexing been goin' on. (Not that I would know anything about any of that, surely.)
History: my comments on "apoplexy" were answering this. Specifically: "A MetaChat thread that asked users to compare their real life with their online personas made me realize I was a dick online a more than I am in person."
(Bonus points for the person who figures out what my comments mentioning "apoplexy" were getting at.)

I'm sorry that some people think this should have been a perfectly serious thread that contained a private conversation only held in public.
I'm sorry that most other places on the internet where a thread like this (namely, suspiciously public apologies for something half the involved parties don't even get.) has been posted resulted in comments such as "What, do you want a cookie or something?" and "Fag."
I'm sorry that mefites wanted to turn this thread into a pleasant and amusing diversion, instead.
I'm sorry for thinking that that's an admirable thing to do.

taz, scarabic has a long-standing habit of acting like a Stupid Dick-like Twit; how am I supposed to separate when he's "only teasing" from when he's "just being himself"? And furthermore, why should I?
He went to extra trouble to call me an idiot and I responded appropriately.

Variations on a Theme by William Carlos Williams
Kenneth Koch
I chopped down the house that you had been saving to live in next summer.
I am sorry, but it was morning, and I had nothing to do
and its wooden beams were so inviting.
We laughed at the hollyhocks together
and then I sprayed them with lye.
Forgive me. I simply do not know what I am doing.
I gave away the money that you had been saving to live on for the next ten years.
The man who asked for it was shabby
and the firm March wind on the porch was so juicy and cold.
Last evening we went dancing and I broke your leg.
Forgive me. I was clumsy and
I wanted you here in the wards, where I am the doctor!

I'm sorry I posted a joke in Latin back there; it was unforgivably snobbish of me. To make up for it, here's the translation:
One night a husband is lying next to his wife but he can't sleep. Softly he strokes his wife's arm but she turns over and says to him: I'm really sorry, honey, but I have to go to the gynecologist tomorrow, so I want to keep myself clean. The husband tries once more to go to sleep, but he can't, and a little later he lightly touches his wife's shoulder and asks her: Honey, you don't have to go to the dentist tomorrow, do you?
Hey, it's not my joke, I found it on the internet!
