Thanks G. Nome, for comfirming once again that you’re completely incapable of answering a question, no matter how decently it is asked.
Silly git.
Primaflora, we don’t practise guilt by association here - all Kiwis but one are A-OK in my book.
I’m sorry, but how on earth do you know what threads I do or do not read? If I don’t respond to it, I haven’t read it? Real fucking genius indeed.
I’d use the term “contributions” less wildly, if I were you.
I think G.Nome is talking about the thread which would explain why she calls manhattan ‘Humphrey’. Since you don’t know why, she’s assuming you haven’t read it.
Ah, that makes sense. Thanks, Badtz. It’s not the first time I’m incapable of understanding G. Nome, and I’m afraid it won’t be the last either.
Still, she could just have answered my polite question. Oh well.
So what thread IS G. Nome talking about?
He might get as drunk as a sack but that’s plain unnecessary - the pillock bit, that is.
Twisty, I grab that as a sig double quick !
G.Nome, you haven’t got relations in Iceland by chance ?
This thread that you’re posting to! (page 1)
G. Nome’s post of 01-16-2001 05:25 UK time - I think that it corresponds to 23:25 Chicago Reader time.
At least threads with 'Nome in them tend to be entertaining. The day she disappears from this MB will be bleak indeed.

Well, yeah, I saw THAT… I think the question is, why ‘Humphrey’? and it was stated that Coldfire hadn’t read the thread. Since he had posted in this thread, I ASSUMED that meant that there is ANOTHER thread somewhere that explains ‘Why Humphrey’.
Right, so she did mean to say I hadn’t read this thread. Kind of weird, considering I’ve posted to it a few times, but hey.
And I STILL don’t know what Humphrey refers to. Apart from a few educated guesses by others, that is.
huh huh, you said ‘hump’.
Maybe it doesn’t mean anything. It’s a sort of wild goose chase for you to waste your time with. (Just as I am wasting my time with this post – unless I’m helping you save yours, of course.)
Maybe it’s just my sense of humour, but (despite myself) when I read that line I actually laughed out loud. And that isn’t something I do that much when reading this board, regardless of those who give the impression that they spend their whole time doubled up at the most inane comments.
It’s in the rhythm and timing - “Humphrey” just seems to go. A more unpretentious name less resonant of sophistication is hard to imagine. But I can understand how being Dutch would make that hard to understand - when you have players with names like Dennis, Edgar and Clarence in your side Humphrey may even sound wordly

Stupid Irish pillock??
Ohh… saucer of milk, table 9.
let me just say that that is the lamest, poorest, most un-insulting “insult” that has ever been directed at me during my time on the board. Have you no imagination? and you said that you felt good after that? I’m sure that if you called me “poopy-head” you would just be orgasmic. :rolleyes:
you know something G. nome? I’ve tried to understand you on some level. I’ve tried humouring you, agreeing with you, hell, I even tried to analyse your posts. Nada. you are without point. Bereft of comprehension. Did you write speeches for Dan Quale?
Getting an intelligent post out of you is akin to poking mercury into a capybara’s back passage with a hot needle.
BTW, enjoy my musical riposte to any of your further posts.
Simon and Garfunkel’s “Sound of silence”
although “here we go round the mulberry bush” would be just as fitting…
Au contraire, kabbes - although I can’t blame you for not knowing Roda JC’s Humphrey Rudge 
well, there is always this site
Humphrey, Aaron - The Temple of Azpiazu
right up G. Nomes alley.
I clicked on one of those mini movie links from the NYC DopeFest and caught a glimpse of Manny. Not so sure about the “metropolitan sophistication” thing and he didn’t look like a Humphrey, either. Rather more like Vlad The Impaler to me - and I’m not talking sexual innuendo here.
<gulp> Of course, I could be getting him confused with someone else.</gulp>
…someone new. It’s such a perfect day…whistles…<exit, swiftly, stage left persued by large ‘bear’>
Now that this thread is in The Pit it’s no longer an appropriate forum for a light discussion of Billy Joel’s lyrics. Billy Joel fans should be directed to IMHO or GQ.
Is that anything like bread in a jar?
for clarification’s sake, no its not.
But i like the way you think, diane
I’d just like to give the mods a thumbs up for the way they successfully wade through the unbelievably high level of bullshit around here. Bang up job, folks.
Oh, and I just can’t let this go –
No, it wasn’t.
