That's right. I COULD CARE LESS. And so could most of you. So, let's try to not ONCE mention the name we can not mention for fear of breaking the pact of not mentioning the unmentionable name. It'll really annoy the people out there who are both for and against the unmentionable name, because both those people seem to think it is the most mentionable name in the world, or at least the most mentionable topic EVER. Let us then deflate some egos by NOT mentioning that we are not mentioning the unmentionable name.

Are you with me?

What's pink and fluffy?

Outside of the mention made in the original title which was mentioned only to let us know what we are not mentioning.

I definitely care about the country that I live in.

I don't, however, care for the idiotic arguments that spring up in this forum about it.

What's pink and fluffy?
THE UNITED STATES OF *chokes on popcorn and falls unconscious....*

Shouldn't it read, "I couldn't care less"? If you could care less, why don't you?

Make it a pretzel.

was about to ask exactly that question

What's pink and fluffy?
My bunny slippers!

Bunn-y bunn-y bunn-y bunn-y...
*trails off, eyes glaze over*

Well, I suppose that's a common misuse of the term...let us compare:

I could care less.

I could not care less.

I think I'm leaving it open. Because I truly could care less about something other than the unmentionable...I care less about flatulence in China than I care about the unmentionable. I'm sure also that at some point, I could care less about the unmentioned than I currently do. I don't like locking myself in with statements that don't allow me to care even less than I do right now.

No, you all wrong.

The answer is pink fluff.

Ha, the old ones are the best.

I just had an english teacher back in middle school who absolutely hated "I could care less". She ranted about it so many times it's permanently stuck in my head.
I always say "couldn't" to say I'm at the bottom of the barrel. I could care no less about whatever than I do right now. I guess I ran the risk of contradicting myself by one day actually caring less.
Well, there's my pointless rambling for the day without once mentioning the UNMENTIONABLE TOPIC

I think this is a great post on your part. I suppose it really is important what you are trying to say with your statement. I, for one, freely admit that there are things I actually care LESS about than the unmentionable. So I think my use of the term "I could care less..." works. If, however, I wanted to say there is absolutely nothing of less importance to me in this world, then I would use, "I couldn't care less...". That isn't true, no matter how much I would wish it to be. I don't claim to speak for everyone here, however.

i had never heard the saying "i could care less" until i started posting here, everyone says "couldnt care less" - doesnt mean they actually couldnt care less, its just exaggeration (sp?)

I would accept either in a student's written work, as long as the meaning was clear.

Then again, maybe I wouldn't.

I'm not sure. I could care less:)

Like about tube socks versus dress socks.

"I couldn't care less...". That isn't true, no matter how much I would wish it to be.
LOL. I find that amusing. I wipe my brow and think, "At least the unmentionable isn't at the bottom of Sinuhue's list. There's still hope."

PS. Thanks for the compliment

Perhaps it would be better on my part to say, "I could care more about the unmentionable, but I choose not to give it any more importance than it has already given itself, so I choose to care less and in doing so, deflate the importance of the unmentionable by focussing on subjects that could mean more, or less to me, depending on my mood."

You likey?

No problem. I think I'd be fooling myself if I thought I could go through life not caring at ALL about the unmentionable.

I could care less about the unmentioned than I currently do. I don't like locking myself in with statements that don't allow me to care even less than I do right now.

Well, you cared ENOUGH to start this thread about it...

You seem to be spending quite some time reflecting on how much you don't care...

Something tells me you care more than you are willing to admit.

I could change my original statement to, "I care enough to start this thread about not caring as much as some say I should care, and caring less about the unmentionable than what I will have for supper, but more than flatulence in China."

Better?

I could not care less about your analysis of my thread.

Read that as you wish.

*shrugs*

I'm pretty indifferent. Most of my family lives there, but the government there is ripping my government off whenever it can. So I'll stay out of it.

And why do you listen to them?

So, do you care more about flatulence in China than the unmentionable, or less? :D

And I could not care less what you think of my analysis.

I care less about attention seeking posters who will remain unmentioned than the unmentionable. But I care more about getting this damn popcorn kernal spiky thingy out of my gum than the unmentionable.

It feels good to prioritise...

You mean like someone starting a thread that they could care less about, just to get attention?

That's what I thought...

...who is Jesussaves? Really!? I mean, does anything else thrill you with the longing of knowlege like that one? When we he be unmasked? WHEN!!???

hummm...

maybe, just maybe it's "I could care less..." because you care so little that you can't be bothered to put in the effort to not care so much.

E!

Does anyone know about using thermal clearance thermistor probes on cardiac catheters to measure aortic blood flow?

That's something I am required to care about. Any help would be well received.

Wow...that sounds like something that would be interesting enough to care about...I could google something, but I wouldn't vouch for the information!

There. And I never even "said" anything.

...So you're telling me you care...
because if YOU COULD CARE LESS, you have to care a little bit.
In fact, you could a lot. I'm going with that one.

Now YOU are in BIG TROUBLE Mister!

You made REFERENCE to the "unmentionable" on the unmentionable thread that could care less...

I can't wait to see how much they all care now!

:D

I care less about flatulence in China than the unmentionable but more about dog feces (since the old owners of my house let it pile up in steaming, disgusting clods all over our back yard, and I have to clean it up. I wish I could deliver it to their new house!).

Yeah, I like a bit of bush on my men.

Don't be silly. The whole thread is a reference to the unmentionable. We don't have to click on the link, therefore the unmentionable is only mentioned in a very passive form. Easily avoided.

But let's not forget that we aren't supposed to mention the unmentionable that they could all care less about, ok!?!?

Do you have some unmentionable burning need for a liberal conspiracy everywhere you go? And does constantly signing your name at the end of each post serve some unmentionable purpose? If not, perhaps you should unmention yourself unless you wish to mention something besides the unmentionable, or mention something that has some mentionable merit within the context of this thread.

A frog goes into a bank, and hops up on the desk of the loan officer. ''Hi,'' he croaks.''What's your name?''

The loan officer says, ''My name is John Paddywack. May I help you?''

''Yeah,'' says the frog. ''I'd like to borrow some money.''

The loan officer finds this a little odd, but gets out a form. ''Okay,what's your name?''

The frog replies, ''Kermit Jagger.''

''Really?'' says the loan officer. ''Any relation to Mick Jagger?''

''Yeah, he's my dad.''

''Hmmm,'' says the loan officer. ''Do you have any collateral?''

The frog hands over a pink ceramic elephant and asks, ''Will this do?''

The loan officer says, ''Um, I'm not sure. Let me go check with the bank manager.''

''Oh, tell him I said hi,'' adds the frog. ''He knows me.''

The loan officer goes back to the manager and says, ''Excuse me, sir, but there's a frog out there named Kermit Jagger who wants to borrow some money. All he has for collateral is this pink elephant thing; I'm not even sure what it is.''

The manager says: ''It's a knick-knack, Paddywack, give the frog a loan; his old man's a Rolling Stone.''

Can it be referenced in a different language?

Like "Les Etas Unis" ?

I guess it can, because I spoke the words, and I'm fi..IIIIEEE!!

The manager says: ''It's a knick-knack, Paddywack, give the frog a loan; his old man's a Rolling Stone.''

Wow, just wow.

And Yes, I could care less about you know. But I won't, since I live here and everything.

What I care about is tube socks. What are tube socks? Are they socks for keeping tubes in, or socks for showing which direction the tubes are pointing in, or what?

アメリカ <-- it means the unmentionable :D

Knew where Eh was going with that joke on reading the loan officers name...

Screams any way.......Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrr
gggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....

I wonder if your mentors know yet that you've totally lost it. :rolleyes:

or an egotistical dumbass. saying 'could care less' instead of the proper 'couldn't' doesn't really make him/her look much better, either.

Go back and read exactly why I chose could care less instead of couldn't care less. I have a reason. It has to do with flatulence in China.

*weeps* *beats breast* *tears at hair*
