Tripler, so is unclviny
My god, how could such trite glurge have resulted in such a gigantic whooshing sound?
Dear lord.
I started reading that thinking, “hmm, I didn’t remember Tripler’s side on this issue”.
Then, “hmmm…oookay”
“Wait. He doesn’t actually think…?”
“Oh god. He does.”
“It’s gotta be a joke. A somewhat obtuse one. Gotta be.”
“Holy shit, it’s not.”
“Shoot me now. And at least now I know who’s got a gun to do it with.”
You can say that again. The whooshing sound was even faintly perceptible here in Finland. It must have been like a herd of elephants flying majestetically through air on miniature airplanes.
me?, pro gun?, absolutely, i choose to take care of my life, family and property rather than depending on the phone (you put that down or i’m gonna DIAL!), as i have stated in prior posts this is a big change for me, i grew up a pacifist, peacenik, touchy-feely kind of guy, then i had my life threatened the first time and things changed very quickly.
by the way, i carry a beretta 96 brigadier .40 with night sights and a trigger job.

Well then, HOLY COW ON A KABOB!
My bad.
I admit it, I didn’t do any research on the poor soul. Please take my commentary (as it was intended) on the original writer. I didn’t see anything in the OP that was for or against the actual spam-post. My bad. . .
My hair is now flattened back, due to the low altitude of said OP. That’ll teach me to read the entire freakin’ thread (and to quit drinkin’ so much on a Saturday afternoon). . . WHOOOOOOSH!
However, I still maintain my position against the quoted statements.
Tripler
2 and 1, bottom of the 9th, down by one, and Tripler’s got a hockey stick. How unprepared.
And I, either a Glock 23 .40SW (less favored) or a more favored Sig P232 .380 ACP (I have small hands, like a “carnie”)
Doesn’t matter since the whooshing sound may drown out any gun report I may have. I swear, I’m never going to live this one down . . .
Tripler
But, I don’t smell like cabbage.
Oh, Tripler, I kept saying, “No, but” and waving my hand to catch your attention when I read your post. What a wonderful rant against something that you completely agree with.
I think you win the Whoosh Award this week. The commentary on the OP was a nice sarcastic dig at gun control advocates.
But beautiful rant.
tripler,
no problems here, i was “testing the waters” here at the sdmb (nice place by the way), as you can see (from my second post) i got this from one of my gun owners forums.
i was surprised at the support i got from the folks here (even the ones with opposing viewpoints).
and what does WHOOOSH mean, i can guess, but a real explanation would be nice.
i sure hope i didn’t piss anyone off (too bad)

unclviny Whoosh means you have completely missed the point. It’s the sound the idea or concept makes as it goes completely over your head.
Oh, and just so you know…we like capitalization here.
Ah, Trippy, you’re so bright-eyed and eager to smash Ignorance… it’s nice enthusiasm you have, buckaroo, but, ah, it seems to have left you a tad overzealous…
I wonder how you react to David Letterman’s Top 10 lists…
Well duh. That’s the entire point of a strawman, after all. Mayhap you should drop by GD sometime for a real gun debate, as opposed to glurge?
Hey, whoa. . .
unclviny, I would like to express my deepest apolgies to you. I didn’t read the whole thread like I should have, and I got lit up for it.
I’m not afraid of being whooshed for things, but I do want you to realize that I didn’t read the whole thread, and I don’t want you to take anything personal – my bad for being a moron.
I’m a moron today, and I hope ya don’t take it personally. . .
Tripler
My bad. Really. But welcome to the Boards!
Oh man, you have no idea. . .
Wait, smash what? Ignorance? Is that a bridge in France or something?
Tripler
Tripler + beer = temporary ignorance (at times).
have a beer (or 3) for me, i can’t have one until wednesday (offshore).
unclviny
Now, now, Minty, you know perfectly well that there’s just as much glurge that swings the opposite direction.
Really? I’ve never seen any anti-gun glurge. And I’ve certainly never seen anyone trolling the Pit with anti-gun glurge. Of course, it would be just as stupid if somebody dropped by with something like that. Sheesh, we’re supposed to be fighting ignorance around here, not coddling spam.
I agree, minty. Whether it’s anti-gun or pro-gun, or whatever…it’s stupid and oversimplifies everything. By the time I got to #8 I could barely read without vomitting up cloyingly sugary glurge. (Hehe…:))
That’s strange, Mint’ems ol’ boy, I just took it as some light-hearted ironic fun. You’re reacting as if someone just spat on your mother.
It’s threads like this that make me sooooo glad I live in Australia where gun-ownership is NOT the norm. :rolleyes:
