Goddamn Gaudere’s Law.
With all due respect, you aren’t entertaining enough for an every Friday gig. Take your cue from Adam Sandler who became rich off the angry retard persona. Once a year, or so, and people welcome your stumblefuck antics. More oftdn than that and they start to remember all your annoying affectations. The only exception would be if you are ever going to break down and tell us your shooting story. As much as I fear that it will turn out to be just another anti-climax, part of me still says angry ranting retard + gun = zany hijinks.
Wrong again. You clearly do not know how the two words differ.
It regards object/subject distinction, e.g., “He gave a gift to him.” Or “He hit him in the face with a cream pie.” Your “easy way to remember” will certainly not “get it right every time.”
On the SDMB, it’s bad form to claim knowledge that one immediately betrays as lacking.
LOL - well at least you seem to get it. I didn’t think I was being all that subtle.
Yes I am disappointed as a matter of fact.
I’m disappointed that you don’t appear to have any problem with my carefully crafted sentence. : (
Hint: See posts 83 and 87 for what I was referencing. In affect, it’s not really about noise volume - it’s about Sports Rights!

Sorry, but I am right and I offer the following cite to back me up: http://skain.tripod.com/setup.gif
Dang it - I muffed up the multi-quote of Doctor Jackson in post 124. His comment should be below the quote of mine, as it is in his post.

I didn’t think I was being all that subtle.
Right in the sweet spot AFAIC.

The word “he” is used if it’s the first word in a sentence. If it comes after that you are supposed to use the word “him”.
I asked my friend, the English teacher, if this was correct. “That person is absolutely right,” is what him said.

You wouldn’t be trolling, by any chance?

I’m sure you are joking around, but just in case someone comes along who doesn’t pick up on that, I’d like to point out for the record that “your” and “you’re” are two completely different words.
“Your” is what they call an accusative participle, and is used to denote actions in the future that are completed in the on-going past. (This is contrasted, of course, with verbs/adverbs that modify or are modified by tone or inflection.)
“You’re” is a little something called a fricative anagram. Don’t let the name scare you - it’s just a fancy term for words that can be the subject of a prepositional gerund. (In the special case where it happens to spell the same thing forward and backward, it is known as a phrasal conjunction.)
Guys, he’s trolling.
Either trolling, or making a sly and clever joke.
Potato, potahto.
I’m sorry you got whooshed, Trin. I’ll stop abetting.

Guys, he’s trolling.
I’d missed the “fricative anagram” bit. He’s trolling.
(Actually, “fricative anagram” is kinda clever.)

Trolling?
Hardly.
My entire first post was mocking rat avatar, whether someone gets that or not. And I wasn’t trying to whoosh anyone either. I thought what I wrote was pretty outlandish - that the difference between “who” and “whom” was casual vs. formal. You know, making fun of what he seemed to be doing?
Anyhow, when a couple of people took me seriously, I said even more ridiculous things trying to drive the point home that I was joking. Absolutely stupid stuff, thinking no one could possibly take me seriously. And yet I was, repeatedly.
Everything I wrote was intended to make it ever more obvious that I was messing around from the beginning. My entire second post, that you quote from here, is absolute gibberish. Random terms strung together in a way to intentionally make no sense at all. The fact that anyone took me seriously after that is baffling and beyond me.
You don’t have to be amused at what I wrote, but to think that I’ve been trolling would be silly in my opinion.
And I won’t be surprised if someone responds to me like I was serious even after this post.
Such is the Dope.
sich, this is the internet. If you want to post something so absurdly stupid that nobody could ever think it was a serious argument, you’re going to need to work a lot harder. Your posts here didn’t rank anything above “mildly stupid.”

Challenge Accepted!

I actually want to see the post that billfish978 finds so damning. If Scumpup is vocally against straight pipes, as he claims, then a quotation of his to the contrary would be interesting.
Not particularly interesting, mind. Of a certain “I’m bored on a snow day” interest.
What say, billfish? I still haven’t seen a link to Scum’s hypocrisy.

Okay… the call of the Pipes and the shittyness of the task ahead have conspired to make me respond to this.
Note. This may well be in parts. Because of a shitty computer, a shitty SDMB, and a shitty connection I ain’t typing out a long ass post to just have it vanish into the night.
Part one:
There was recent thread. Where someone was (IMO rightfully) bitching about people in cars pulling up to places where people eat shit. They leave their lights on and the people inside said place get to enjoy getting blinded until clueless assholes turn of the fucking lights. Said thread made me realize some people are stupid, some people don’t understand basic geometry and some people have never eaten at a place that has a window…but I digress…

Part Two.
So, I chime in that said assholes piss me off too. I also make an offhand comment that these people are about as bad (I don’t recall my exact position on the pecking order) as those penis substitute bike riders with “loud pipes” who pull into a parking lot and keep idling for another five minutes…noise polluting the shit outa everything in a 2 mile radius.

Part three.
Well, Scumpup…Scum for short…get’s all bent outa shape about that…which is actually ironic given he is a “quite pipes” person himself. But apparently I insulted his people or some such shit.
Anyway, after me insulting his tribe, he notes that I wouldn’t say stuff like that to his fellow tribe members. Which is probably true. But the fact that his tribe would beat the crap outa me for having gall to insult them about shitty behavior doesn’t exactly paint a favorable picture IMO either.

I only asked for a link.
.

Part 4.
So, Scum leaves said thread in a huff. Said thread dies a quite (heh) death.
Now, the Bundy’s at it again thread surfaces.
A bunch of stupid assholes take over some federal property because freedom or something.
A handful of people (including myself) express the opinion that basically we don’t care if their stupid sorry asses get shot.
Well, Scum ain’t having none of that. He goes after said handful like we are concentration camp managers.

You ain’t getting it. I’m lazy, this is the pit, and you deserve to suffer.
I’m lazy, too.
But I’m also a little CDO*, and I couldn’t bear the thought of not knowing, so I searched and found this thread from 2012, with the suggestive title “I am so sick of loud motorcycles.” A quick perusal shows both billfish678 and Scumpup participating, but beyond that, it’s a total mystery.
Scumpup and billfish678 don’t seem to butt heads in that thread at all. In fact, Scumpup makes it clear that he’s just as anti-loud motorcycle as billfish678. Scumpup certainly doesn’t supply any dire warnings about the injudiciousness of confronting noisy bikers in a parking lot.
So, color me
At least I was until I noticed that billfish678 says that it’s a recent thread. So I did another search on his handle, this time with the word “motorcycle” instead of “pipes.”
Mirabile dictu, I got a hit right away! Posts 4 and 7 are the ones you seek, andros. All a little anticlimactic, if you ask me.
But at least I’ll be able to get to sleep tonight.

I give it 7-2 odds, myself.

Thank you for your tireless service, sir.
Billfish678’s summary linked above is accurate in general terms. He dropped the ball on the Bundy thread summary though. I goaded him, and others there, for expressing an active desire for the yahoos to be killed. I never have received any clear answer from fishy-fishy-fishy-ooooh, or the others, about why this particular delusional hillbilly so strongly deserves to be killed. Call it a gut feeling, but I doubt that either grazing rights or bird sanctuaries figured strongly in F-spank’s life up to this point. The safety of federal agents probably hasn’t been a pressing concern, either. So why the grubby desire to see the feds splatterkill the delusional hillbilly and his inbred posse?

When people make facetious remarks in GQ I recommend that they add a smiley, because 1) there is no argument so idiotic that someone hasn’t already made it on the board in all seriousness; and 2) there is no joke so obvious that some other poster might not take it at face value.
