umm watever!!
it was difficult but it's a good one
Good one, thanks.
To aish and corn. I appreciate the visit and the comments.
And I'm still working on something for the other three (earth, wind, water).

Went in a few different directions until I read the hint then I got answer right away. Enjoyed this one, too.
By the way, badbunnee, no I did not PM penguin and suggest we form a "little odd" club. (Referring to your two previous comments) Are you trying to say I'm a little odd? If so, then more power to ME - its better than being opinionless, and boring...I prefer not to look at the negative, be rude, make somewhat harsh comments or attempt to make anyone feel out of place. After all, life is too short and too much fun to be critical of others' opinions. I prefer to enjoy my (and other people's) different points of view. It would be a very dull world if everyone thought the same and were afraid to voice their opinions - different as they may be. Call me a fool (oh wait, I think you've already done that somewhere along the line) but I value my opinions and respect those of others. Let me see, what's the word I'm looking for?" Oh yeah, LIGHTEN up. This is an extremely enjoyable site for myself and others. Have a HAPPY day.

Whoa, froggy !!! You misread me again.
I meant the comment in the most positive way you can imagine. It's a family thing (being odd). My Dad, in fact, several years ago, belonged to an organization called *The Odd-Fellows Club*. It was for people who did not feel comfortable in the traditional community organizations such as Rotary, Lions, Kiwanis, etc.
And my Mom would often come home from her school meetings almost in tears because she'd said the *wrong* thing or had taken an *unpopular* position.
If you DO decide to start an *odd* club, let me know and I'll join up. I've always favored the unusual over the ordinary.
Hey ... we could do T-shirts !!! Maybe put the rebus (VI,vii,VIII) on them as a logo and drive people crayzeeee with them trying to figger it out.

Point taken. But, if you look back at your first comment to me regarding PM to penguin and then combined it with your second comment regarding PM to penguin and the two of us forming a "little odd" club, I am sure you can understand how your intent could be misinterpreted. I guess I should also lighten up and not take everything so literally. I think my years of legal work are still ingrained in me in that I tend to take things as they appear until I begin to dig beneath the words for the meaning behind them. Then, when a second is added (See LLDs and LLD) my interpretation changes. I am sure after reading comments you will understand my line of thought. Also, I have never been a timid individual when it comes to voicing my opinion as I am a very outspoken person. But, I always strive to withhold any comments of anger or those containing hurtful innuendo until I get the facts straight. This is now a moot point as I did not adhere to my own set standards. Hence, I allowed my anger (and big mouth) to run amuck.
Thank you for clarifying your original intent and now, it is my turn to apologize to you for my defensive reply.
And, yes, if I do decide to start an "odd" club - you will be one of the first I will invite to join! As far as the T-shirts - how about the following logo: VI,vii,VIII (sarks)?! Thanks again for the reply and clarification. I will indeed heed my own words and LIGHTEN up!!!

froggy; don' sweat it !!!
We all get our knickers in a knot sometimes due to what others say and how they say it. I do it all the time. And ... that's the problem with written text (as here); we miss the inflective nuance of the spoken word and associated facial and body language. But that's also part of the fun of Braingle. To puzzle out what people mean just with the written word.
And I like your addition to the T. 'Twill drive them BANANAS !!!
