Will that require an RSVP?
Maybe he should lick the hamster’s instead.
Looks like the hampsters ate my OP; I’ll try again:
I see you tried to bury this little jab at me in the middle of someone else’s thread:
Background:
http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=227949
Now, let me explain how it went down in THIS universe:
essvee made the point that if the BC comic strip (that just happened to be, oh, I don’t know, the TOPIC OF DISCUSSION) was not a veiled slam on Islam, then it must be the unfunniest comic strip ever.
You came back with a comment about how there are other comic strips that are less funny:
and I replied with:
Now, I’ll admit I made an assumption there; I assumed that your comment actually had something to do with the train of thought that existed in the post you were directly responding to. It hadn’t occured to me that your post was actually a mental regurgitation of a random thought. If you had said “Gosh, there’s something shiny over there!”, I would have recognized what was going on, but you threw me off by giving the illusion of having some semblance of actually being on-topic.
What happened next is that YOU took ME to task for misinterpreting your post and assuming that you were making some sort of point besides “Duh, this is the comics what I thinks is dumb.”
And you managed to include a specious implication that it was somehow ironic that I misinterpreted your post. So I responded with this:
So, yeah, I spanked your ass in that thread because you gave me shit about misinterpreting your post when the fault was yours for posting a complete non-sequitur. And now I see that you’ve switched it around, and are saying you “caught flack from Blowero for straying off topic”, which you know perfectly fucking well is NOT how it happened. I can see that it upset you terribly, but couldn’t you at least have the fucking gonads to either respond in the thread, or start a new thread, rather than bury some whiny shit in the middle of another thread about how Blowero was soooo mean to you? Fuck you.
Actually kids, If I was going to lick anybody’s, I’d lick my own. I am a dog you know.
Blowero just didn’t get it. The whole BC thread was an argument about whether the comic artist had created some abstract attack on a religion or whether he had just made yet another lame joke in his strip. Those posters who thought the artist was just plain lame were telling the “abstract attack” believers that they read too much into the strip.
Somebody made a comment that the artist was either very clever or that he created the lamest strip known.
I commented back that other strips were lamer.
Then Blowero jumped into his disertation about my choice of lame strips and how their methods and style “allegorical” composition etc didn’t fit with the styles of BC. (Panties starting to bunch up on the boy starting here)
I told him that my statement was very straightforward and his reading into it was humorous since one tangent of the argument concerned people reading more into a statement (the comic strip) than what was possibly intended.
Blowero reponds with some put down comment about me being off topic. (his panties riding much higher now)
Shirley Ujest showing great wisdom sees that lame comic strips are a rantable offense and opens a new OP.
I make a remark about ** Blowero ** in the new thread knowing full well that he’d be there (comic strip theme again) and he would most definately have an opportunity to fire back (all in good fun, of course)
Blowero reads my post (panties dive right up his anus).
Blowero decides this great affront deserves a pitting!!!(panties now leaving the large intestine and heading for the small)
Well, Blowero not to worry. You can pit me all you want. S’OK with me.
And as for your “Fuck You” comment. Sure sounds like fun but not with you. I have standards. You have my permission to fuck yourself though if you’d like.
Bubba
And there we have the problem. There’s been an awful lot of energy expended as a result of the fact that BubbaDog apparently interpreted the previous poster’s use of the word “strip” to refer to the B.C. strip as a whole, whereas blowero interpreted it to mean the particular instance of the B.C. comic that was under discussion. Frankly, I think blowero’s interpretation is much the more likely one, but it clearly still isn’t an interpretation that has occurred to BD.
Now can you two just shake hands or lick parts or whatever and move on?
So let me get this straight. BubbaDog makes an offhand crack in response to someone calling B.C. the most unfunny strip in the history of comics, and you attempt to engage him in a serious debate about which comic is actually the least funny. His lack of interest in your debate angers you, and you piss and moan that his comment was off-topic.
Yes, you really spanked his ass.
I’m OK with that. Aholibah your opinion of interpretation is helpful. Many times on the board people argue over interpretation.
I extend my BubbaPaw with an olive branch.
In fact we can stop this fighting and all look for a date for Blowero as he apparently wants a little licking action on his sac and to fuck somebody.
Bubbadog
Blowero you might want to wash first. Some gals are on salt free diets
I think if the OP were made into a comic strip, it would be the least funny / most pointless one ever.
That explains it then; dogs aren’t renowned for their reading comprehension skills.
Goddamit, are you ever dense. Look, let’s take this real slow, OK? This is what Lamar Mundane wrote:
And THIS is what essvee wrote:
OK, let’s recap before your canine mind loses the train of thought:
LAMAR MUNDANE THINKS HART MEANT FOR THE STRIP TO BE AN ATTACK ON ISLAM.
ESSVEE AGREES WITH LAMAR.
You, Bubba, QUOTED essvee and responded to what essvee said.
That “sombody” was essvee.
OK, real slow now… essvee’s point was that the BC strip was SO lame, that it makes no sense on its face, and so the more likely explanation is that it has a hidden meaning. So when you say “other strips are lamer”, any reasonable person (like me), would come to the obvious conclusion that you are attempting to make some kind of point. Do you understand that Lamar and essvee were making a point, and weren’t just having a fun discussion about which comics are lame? Let me know if I’m going too fast for you.
No, I made an argument that was consistent with what the thread was about. Do you always get that bent out of shape when someone disagrees with you?
And I told you that your claim of irony was bullshit. Which it was. Your little “I find it interesting…” comment was completely off-base. I made a reasonable inference about what you appeared to be saying. I can’t help it if you’re a moron who can’t follow a train of thought.
Uh, you pitted me first, numbskull. I just had the sense to put the pitting into a separate thread instead of mucking up someone else’s thread with your petty bullshit.
I’ll give you this, though: at least you responded to me in the same thread this time, instead of hiding it in the middle of another thread like a pussy.
Look folks, this is not a matter of interpretation; it’s a matter of Bubba completely missing the point and then trying to blame me. And again, he pitted me first; I just moved it to its own thread.
blowero, I think you’re taking this whole thing way too seriously. BubbaDog’s comment in Shirley’s thread read to me like a teasing jab, not the full-scale Pitting that you seem to have interpreted it as.
Oh, well mine is just a “teasing jab” too, so I guess we’re even.
Olive branch whipped back, broken in two, fashioned into arrows, ignited, flaming arrows shot at Blowero’s sacred ball sack.
I’m having trouble staying interested in your babbling to keep this dialog up much longer.
And THIS is what essvee wrote:
quote:
I agree with Lamar. If it’s not a subtle dig, it’s nothing but the most unfunny strip in the history of comics.
Let’s say I write “Blowero is either a foremost authority on debating or he is the most anal retentive butt sniffer on the planet”
If say other poster answered back "you must not know anal retentive boy very well I would assume that anal retentive boy was more anal retentive than Blowero but not assume that anal retentive boy is anywhere near an authority on anything.
You would interpret his statement to mean ** anal retentive boy** might possibly be an authority.
You see, you chose a comparison to one side of his either/or statement when my comment was on the other side. Hence my statement about people misreading things and your put-down response.
I guess the next time I disagree with you, I’ll just open up a pit thread saying “Attention Blowero, please come to this official thread to be called a shithead”
But, quite frankly, I didn’t think that you were important enough to get your very own pitting OP.
And I didn’t think that I was either.
Oh well, believe it or not my intent wasn’t to pit you but to show Shirley that I was grateful for the thread since my comments along the same line were met with dislike in the other thread.
In any case, I still wouldn’t mind if you got some cute thing to give you a lick. I kinda like the thought that there are girls somewhere out there willing to do that.
Bubba
Shit, took forever to load this.
Blowero say another nasty thing about me.
Then we’re even.
Bubba
There must be a word for a person who gets so incensed in a discussion about a bleedin’ comic that he decides to start a full on argument with someone, complete with line by line dissections and tedious parsing.
I don’t know what that word is, but it should combine elements of petty, puerile, and obnoxious.
I think the two of you make a lovely couple.
I think Shakespeare had a title for it: Much Ado about Nothing
I wasted 15 minutes of my life reading the backup for this stupid argument. Thanks for nothin’.
What difference does it make? Ok, their discussion was very solemn and serious, and he made a crack. He was just making a fun comment on which comics are lame. Who cares? Only you.
You’re obviously pretty worked up about this, and BubbaDog is obviously willing to laugh it off as the miscommunication it was, even though you’re the one being the big asshole about it. Doesn’t that make you feel stupid?
At least take a minute and squeegee the spittle off your monitor. Christ.
When Bubba is done, I’d like to lick your nuts as well.
