Method of Madness:
It probably isn't a good thing that my first thought of modern day Rhode Island is the fictional town of Quahog. I guess my second thought would be Brown.
Hahaha, god damn it, I waited too long to hit post and iDug beat me to it.

1. Gibbs' Rule #9: Never go anywhere without a knife.

Ahhh, Jethro Gibbs, the exception to the rule 'Never bring a Knife to a Gunfight.'
Hmmmmmmm
Why is it I suddenly hear Jason Vorhees' theme??

--- End quote ---
There are three forum skins at present (the default, a reproduction of the old plain gray, and a "normal" light background one), and anyone can choose any of them by going to the Look and Layout page of their profile. All are in use by some forumites. This is one reason that the rules and guidelines request that colour is not added unnecessarily to posts - the other is the avoidance of eye-bleach in general (I could block it, but don't want to be quite that much of a killjoy).

But please, no 1337-speak, ALL CAPS, or excessive use of smileys :evil:, marquees, fancy fonts and colours and such; and please try to spell people's (and characters') names right - it's only polite.

I hate men. They have no loyalty.
--- End quote ---
Ummm... yes we do. We absolutely do. Do some men's eyes, on occasion, follow the swaying backside of a passing women? Yes, they do - but despite what some people think, a sideways glance is not at all connected to a lack of loyalty. If a woman drools at a shirtless hunk on True Blood, does that mean she is planning to cheat on her boyfriend? No, it doesn't. We're humans, we have libidos, and they don't shut completely down when we enter a relationship. A sideways glance every now and again is nothing to sneeze at.
Now, Angus' complete lack of consideration in looking /staring at another woman when Faye is right next to him - well, he's just an idiot. Doesn't mean he's not loyal.

Totally unrelated to the main topic at hand: if something is "not to be sneezed at it" is important. A sneeze used to be an expression of contempt or disregard, and to sneeze at something was to consider it of little value or import.
Of course, it's usually after a post like this that the poster is shot down by their own linguistic failures.
EDIT: Thinking about it, slang and idioms do have different meanings in different places, even in the same language. Perhaps I got the wrong end of the stick.
