What was your most clever response you got zero lurve for?

So many to choose from…

I almost posted a similar question today. I also realize that the simple act of answering this question categorizes one as self-important, and perhaps as a bit naive.

But I like to think that I gave lots of great answers to 1-lurvers, only to receive absolutely no lurve. Even after I handed out lurve to other answerers, because I knew that the questioner wouldn’t do so. :(

Edit: take that, RandomMrDan!

this one?

I have no clue. Perhaps my answers just aren’t very clever!

Edited to add: What’s yours, Dave?

I think all my responses are clever… except the ones that aren’t.

of course what you could do, is click on my profile here, search through anything I’ve made answers to, and apply lurve when needed =)

@august: I’m sure there’s one out there, I’ll have to dig later. Just wondered if anybody felt like a perfectly-crafted response has ever fallen on deaf keyboards.

I just realized I didn’t give any lurve for my stinky dog question. My bad.

I am a lurve-r. I lurve giving lurve. I give lurve liberally when people answer a question I asked.

All we need is lurve.

Every once in a while, old questions arise from the grave in “Activity for You,” like the “Sparkle” revival today…

And I see my lonely little answers floating there in the Fluth-ether.

It makes me want to lurve more! Lurve on. I echo Snoopy ^.

/me goes and answers all of Snoopy’s old questions

feel the lurve!

THIS: and it’s not clever, it’s angry:

_Just to be annoyingly p.c., I’d like to point out that “African mythology” was indeed passed down through storytelling exactly like “Asian” mythology, “European” mythology, and all other preliterate mythologies.
I’d also like to point out that there was never an “African” mythology. Africa, as Sarah Palin reminded us (G. Bush also noted this in about 2003),
is a really big “country”. It’s so big that people in, say, Egypt (did you know that’s in Africa?) are only recently able to speak on a regular basis with people in, say, Swaziland
(have you ever heard of Swaziland?), and even now they must rely on translators. People in these locations never shared mythologies.

I am tired of people being so ignorant about Africa. (And frightened.) How can we take up space in the world when we think “Africans” did this or that. “Africans” come in 8,000 varieties. oh I forgot: the way we take up so much space is to remain intentionally ignorant of the existence of anyone not exactly like our imperial Selves_

Lurve from the grave for Susanc, as Sueanne T would say.

“Our imperial Selves” remnds me of my new e-mail signature quote:

Recedite, plebes! Gero rem imperialem!

@Knot: For your Christmas delectation,

Utinam barbari spatium proprium tuum invadant!

They may already be…at the gate! Sorry.

edit: neat shirt, too.

I did get some lurve for this, but I just didn’t think it was enough! Nine people tried and failed, but I figured it out! and I only got 2 GAs? What’s with that?

(That came off sounding really whiny and bratty, but you said this was the place to feel ignored…) :-P

lurve from the grave on that one, too. and another headscratcher from pathfinder. That’s what I get for taking business trips; I miss all the good stuff.

aw, thanks knotmyday!!!

as far as pathfinder, since then i’ve pretty much come to the conclusion he’s just a troll yanking our collective chain…

I think so too. But such an entertaining troll!

I just remembered this one, which isn’t “clever” per se, but did take a lot of research I must have spent over an hour digging through genealogy sites to get down to that level of precision

Retroactive lurve for you, Harp!

@Harp: Twice lurved.

edit: “Twice” meaning the old answer and your pointing out the old answer.

I can finally let go of all that cloistered bitterness! lurve back!
