Out of curiosity...

Post by A Mom, but not yours »

I submitted what I thought was a silly, snarky question. Two out of three writers who responded seemed to take offense. The third gave the sort of answer I was expecting. <sigh>

I don't remember... I'll vote when I've had time to go through my somewhat extensive question pages.

It has gone both ways for me.

I wasn't expecting an answer such as this but it made things hilarious and I was hoping there was more back story to the tick question.

I wasn't even being snarky, but I kind of got yelled at... and they did acknowledge that it was just their interpretation of my post however it was my second question ever written, so it kind of scared me off for a little bit

As I am dying, at the moment, I was able to go through my question pages.

Mostly, when Writers have replied in a manner different from what I thought my question would provoke, it's when I asked a silly question and instead got a lecture or only one short response.

Nanti,

The lameness of how the battle cry came about is a part of its charm.....

I know, I just wasn't sure when I asked it if there was more story than what was shown in the tv show.

I didn't find anything else, and with something like that I really didn't feel as though I could make something up that would do it justice. On a side note, one of the hacks on my high school soccer team declared the teams battle-cry to be 'Cuchara!!' (though with a bunch of gringos trying to say it it came out more guchara than cuchara). Sadly, it took me a long time before I caught the Tick reference.
