Aldebaran, today is your birthday!

The BBQ Pit
41

I dunno. It’s hard enough communicating in another language, let alone managing to communicate subtly and nuance. He does the first well enough to piss people off but not the latter. Kind of caught between two stools, in a non anal way.

But there aren’t too many a’them thar non-Christian folks ‘round these here parts so I tend to read him like one of those automatic translation tools. Better than nothing but you hope they don’t talk that that in their native tongue.

42

Goldarn it and here’s me fergitten that we let you guys go it alone, I’ll be hornswaggled:p

43

Much like our birthday boy, this pitting is a nebulous celebration of a style we can only begin to hope to understand. To define an Aldebaran post is to destroy him using the very tools of freedom.

Personally I think we’ve been missing out on the occasional martyr tone that creeps into some of Aldebaran’s posts but I’m stilling giving it an 8.5.

44

beat ya

I guess if you want something done right you have to do it yourself.

How about a hypothetical exaggerated outline?

  1. Topic by Aldebaran: “USA claims to do A, it doesn’t.”

  2. USA poster: “We don’t think what you mean by A is A.”

  3. Aldebaran: “Typical American KKK Nazi racist.”

  4. USA poster: “:confused:”

  5. GB poster gives it a shot: “Ah, I lived in the US for three years and they suck but not like Aldebaran says they do.”

  6. Aldebaran: “Ah, the imperialist toadies of the Bush Nazi racist KKK armies of conquest.”

  7. GB poster: “:confused:”

  8. I forget what eight was for.

  9. Repeat steps 1-7 with increasingly distant ‘representatives’ of the Bush position.

Beagle, excellent overview. Number 8 is some random low-posting lurker strapped down with a verbal Fatah Fannypack.

48

This was his latest gem, for anyone interested. If any of you can follow what the hell he’s talking about, I’d sure love a translation. :slight_smile:

Reguards,

“verbal fatah fannypack”:smiley: It could be anyone. Alde lashes out at everyone it seems.

Technically, “I forget what eight was for” is an old Violent Femmes lyric. I was using it in lieu of “Hi, Opal” at number three. Which, I believe, would be an incorrect usage. “Hi, Opal” is used to pad a two item list, eh, right?

Anyway…

Alde has problems expressing his tender feelings. We just want love. Is that so wrong? I don’t understand how he continually misinterprets what posters say in partial support of his positions. It’s a mystery…

Back to the only useful strategy,

Aldebaran, you are so RIGHT! I don’t need to say anything else. I am a national socialist KKK redneck. I do have a 1939 one pfenig (sp?) coin with a swastika on it someone picked up in Europe! I used to collect coins. Could that get me jailed in Belgium. If so, I’m glad.

You know I just noticed I passed 1000 posts. Now I think I can say that without our birthday boy I’d not be standing here making this pointless post.

Again, a toast to Aldebaran.

51

You don’t agree with Freedom of Speech. In Belgium you would be arrested for insulting this person if he didn’t punch you first. I can’t believe how Americans who claim to love freedom are really all just childish down to the very last one. This I know from my friend who once visited your country and didn’t like it one bit. Can you disprove that? No, you can’t. You know that you must now realize that I am right, or do I need to send you to a doctor first to have your head examined.

52

Good God, Aldebaran is so right!!

No…wait…that’s not what I…:confused:

53

You guys totally forgot to talk the Arabian horses, made no mention of how many languages you speak and how you are worldy and educated.

Oh. I forgot…

Peace.

To those that did not understand my post.
What I am speaking about is this:

My post is quite long, but You can find it in the later half of the page:

Wow. This is like the stripper showing up early and handing out private, tassled-pasty, fauxObsession-soaked freebies.

Pardon me, Henry B, but Aldebaran is only now cresting “fashionably late” for the party, as it were. Let’s not blast through all the hors d’oeuvres before he gets here…

To those that still do not understand. Explanations in brackets, in bold letters:

All goobldygooks (a word from the OP) - unite!

I am with Alan owes Bess. (What do you owe her anyhow?)
I do not know the Prophet, but I assume he does not post here? (Sorry if I offend.)
Not to me anyhow. They have made some advertisement, every weekday but specially on Sundays, for the other guy (Jesus) for some 2000 years, and then they try to tell that both are for killing the other guys and so on. (Those that are bombing with a religion, any religion, as an excuse.)
I think they should post here in the Pit instead. (The earlier mentioned war-mongers) And I think both the guys are/were good (The Profet and Jesus) and those that use them to their own aggressions are just a bunch of liars. (The earlier mentioned war-mongers)

I am sorry Aldebaran that I can not e-mail or send You any Private Messages. I would have like too, about the racism of the white man, the googled-eyed propagandists (my word for “goobldygooks” - a word from the OP. Remember?) - unite!

They are fun in a way, but they have too dangerous toys they play with. I think You understand this.
Then they are heros, (they think), freedom fighters (tieing themselves to unbearable situations) (Palestine, Chechenia (sp), Iraq, Afghanistan etc.), highly believing in all the other shit in their propaganda (the white mans propaganda).
I am really ashame sometimes that I am white, but I hope You can forgive, because how can a man change his origin or colour. (The white liberal uber-menchen is often speaking about that the “coloured people are people, just as you and I, but they can not change their colours…”)

But what we can do, is to learn from each other and look what we have in common and build on that. (…and respect the other guys culture)
This does not include those guys that already knows everything (well You can meet them nearer than You think…) and can’t change any of their views, (they believe in the white man’s propaganda, they are manipulated but can’t see it.) but as i said, forgive them, they do not know what they are doing. (Sounds familiar…) (Jesus on the cross)

P.S. It is quite amazing to find guys from NZ, ME, many from Egypt and me from Finland that sees the world from an almost common point of view. (Mea culpa = should be: …from almost the same point of view. Anyhow, this is my own, and hopefully also someone elses, expierience in different countries.)
Naturally some are also from other parts of the world, but most of the white-guy-thinking is streamlined with a mix of FOX, Reuters and New York Times and their kinds.(This You do understand?)

then when everyone is streamlined (= manipulated by their superiors’ propaganda) in their believes, they begin to cheer. (Look at news, the flag-vawing morons, when a new, “good” war begins) The freedom is to think exactly like the next one.
Quite amazing guys.

If there is still something unclear, please post.
Thank You.
