Mundane Pointless Stuff I Must Share (MPSIMS)
#21

Cites please? He’s made over three hundred posts and the two or three I’ve read have been innocuous enough. I can’t be bothered to trawl through the rest as some sort of Devil’s Advocate just because I don’t like the cheap shots at him. Attack him when an d where he steps out of line but he may want to live it down and I think he should be allowed to.

At the very least, his own admissions would indicate he is honest and forthcoming. How many car salesman do you expect that from? I’ve admitted that I’ve been unfaithful to an ex-girlfriend on this message board. So should I be pilloried for the act or the admission? We all make the occasional boo boo, all that matters is that you learn and move on from it. It all starts with an admission of guilt though.

I have to admit though, his post in Straightdope Mercenaries is pretty entertaining with the built proof rear window and all. Still, no reason to crucify him…

Mods: I am not sure if my above flaming of Nicklz is appropriate for MPSIMS. My initial comment was (admittedly) kind of nasty, and I felt the need to back myself up. I’ll open a thread in the pit to continue this hijack if you feel that would me more appropriate.

#26

In the first thread, I don’t think he is admitting he drives drunk. It seems to me that he is a little inarticulate (I’m not sure what the name for a baby inarticulate is;)) and that is why he expressed himself the way he did in the parentheses. He should have said, not like I’d had anything to drink. That would make more sense in backing up why he should have driven. Also, the racism is implied at best. The part about the motorist being black was irrelevant but then so was the part about her being a chick. Does that make him sexist too? He hasn’t disparaged blacks in general but I’ll admit he does come out of it looking like a bit of an arse.

I don’t see the big deal with the second thread. Car salesman are lying, cheating, filthy scoundrels the world over. It’s a given and I don’t imagine you would last long in the business if you were otherwise although I’ll no doubt be flamed by the lone, honest car salesman who also happens to read these boards. He used his experience to give good, well-meani ng advice and I can’t fault him as you can here.

In his last thread, it seemed to me the guy wasn’t a stutterer but a nervous little wimp. It’s hardly his fault but then again, it seems to be fair game. Speech impediments are beyond the pale but personality shortcomings are sadly fair game. Half of these teenage Loser type movies coming out of Hollywood are about just such people and they get plenty of laughs without people becoming outraged at the injustice of it.

After saying all that however, I must concede that he is indeed an arsehole.
[sub]It’s just that there is more challenge is sticking up for an arsehole;)[/sub]c

Mersavets, hey buddy, calm down, it was joke (note the winking smiley). I didn’t realize what Anti Pro said was from Niclz’s profile, s/he didn’t quote it. It had “<<<>>>” around it, but I thought Anti Pro was the one saying it.

I don’t know how I wasn’t practiCing what I preach, I didn’t have any spelling or typing errors in that post, did I?

If my harmless joke was so upsetting to your seemingly fragile psyche, take me to the pit. Otherwise, don’t worry about it.

#28

Yeah, but we want to know about the hummers too. Remember Clerks? :wink:

#29

First of all, let me just say that I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to respond to the posts.
Nicklz How do plea to such alligations?
Well I’ll leave these line of thought for last.

  1. Who is your favorite NFL team?
    ::COUGH dallas COUGH::
    2)how old are you?
    I’ll turn 21 on the 11th of October of this year.
  2. how many sexual relations have you had ?(Clinton Defination Hummers do not count.)
    Ummm…thinking…still thinking…
    Well I don’t exactly know but it’s more than twenty
    4)Have you ever bought anything off e-bay?
    I had a friend buy me the Ken Griffey Jr. upper deck rookie card, on his credit card, because mine were all maxed out at the time.
  3. what is the oldest book you own?
    Kama Sutra :smiley: it’s a really old hardback
    6)Describe the strangest thing you have ever witnessed done.
    I guy captured a mouse with his bear hands, just so he could get it outside safely :eek:
  4. what is your biggest regret so far in life?
    I don’t believe you should have any regrets, even things that didn’t turn out favorable for you should be viewed as a learning experience for future refferences.
  5. If you could change one thing in your past what would it be and why?
    My relationship with an x-girlfriend, I allowed distance to pull us apart only to later realize that I should’ve put more into it, because I did love her. And at the time,I subconciously tried to tell myself I didn’t love her, because I was scared of committing. I still think about her from time to time wonder what she’s doin and if everything is going okay for her.
  6. What would you do if you inherited 10 Million dollars?
    Spend a million on a car and house, stick half of the remaining amount into bank and collect intrest, and the other half would be used in the stockmarket.
  7. Do you think the Arizona Cards can pull an upset over the Denver Broncos this weekend the same as Carolina did against the Minnisota Vikings in week 1? (NFL question)
    I hope the Cards win, only because I don’t like Denver. Not for any particular reason I just always seem to root for the other team when Denver plays.
    And as far as the Vikings go, well Randy Moss did play here at Marshall which is less than a block from my place.

I don’t think my landlord alows ducks?
indecent exposure? No
Naomi who?

Mersavets
Thanks for getting my back man, but truthfully I can be an arse sometimes.

RTFirefly
Actually I never saw clerks completely, we never finished it, actually I don’t think I ever watched it past the first scene. Although, everyone says it’s great.

As for Greenbeans posts, I’m kind of wondering why there was unprovoked attack on my character? Is he just trying to start stuff on the boards?? Sorry but I will not respond to your posts, that isn’t the point of this thread. If you want to ask me if I’m a racist, I’ll just tell you now I’m not. As for the other two those are more circumstancial, another place another time. Or you could just start a pit thread and if I get bored later, I might decide to make a total waste of my time and play your little game.

#30

Yeah, serves me right for just cutting and pasting from Niclz’s profile.

Niclz, ** Green Bean ** is a female type of poster.

And, there are more reasons to attend and graduate college than just making money [though THAT helps of course!]. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of anyone who was sorry to have attended, just people like me, who wished they had.

#31

BLAST!! I’m sorry that I misspelled your name, I should have checked, but I cheated and used Dignan’s example instead. Mea culpa, dearie.

#32

.

Yes???

#33

Nicklz…What does your board name mean? Do you have a picture of yourself? Why exactly did you quit school? Do you plan to work with your dad forever or go back to school? What school did you go to? What was your major?

As for Green Bean, all car salesmen lie. I don’t see where the guy showed he drives drunk and was racist. The stuttering thing was really mean and I really hope that isn’t Nicklz real view on people with a disabilities and/or shy. (I didn’t read the whole thread, only skimmed it).

Well considering training pay for this job starts out at onefifty and day, plus mileage rembursments, and several other small incentives. I will continue this for a career.

don’t ask
Well I, was thinking on going into the psychology, or criminal law.

VenusGirlTrap
My board name is my nick name, a friend from where I used to live in Ohio, gave me this name. During my senior year I smoked alot of pot, therefor, getting the name Nicklz, because I would always have a nickle bag.

I don’t have a picture, sorry.

I went to Marshall University, I graduated H.S. in 99, took a couple years off, then went to college, planning to go into a field of psychology or law. Although I have never desired to do any specific job in life, my only goal is to live comfortable. Not to be filthy rich, but just always have enough money to be able to afford the things in life I desire.

Once I start work for my dad’s company, there will be no reason to go back to school. He is considered a dinosaur in the brokerage buisness (almost 30yrs), he is paid more than a broker with average job experience. But I’ll be employed at $275per day, with mileage rembuirsment, after I’m fully trained and start working independantly.

My dad plans on retiring in the next 5 to 10 years, and has mentioned on handing over the company to me, so my future has already been written. Which I don’t mind. When I was 15 (wv learners permit) I would drive my dad around to his buisness appointments or to talk to the land owners. I was able to get a feel for what he does. I wouldn’t be stuck behind a desk, it’s something different everyother day.
Some days you’ll have to go hiking through the woods with a landowner and show him where the company plans on drilling/mining. Other days are spent at one of the counties court houses, others you’ll get to negotiate terms and conditions on the drill site, other times you’ll try and settle damages and keep it from going to court. (that is ussually when the enginering contractors mess somethinng up) It’s a job, but it doesn’t seem to get that repetiveness most all other jobs consist of. Plus it pays great! :smiley:

#35

I’m sure there are more dopers out there with question’s on their minds. Remember I said I’d be truthfully honest and bare my soul, all you have to do is ask me what you want to know?

#36

Okay, I wanna know why you didn’t return my flirt in the flirting thread. [sub]Of course, with the way mrblue and I were goin’ at it, you probably didn’t want to interfere. But you still could have said something.[/sub] Oh, and why don’t you have a piccy? I am sure many Doper ladies would love seeing your loverly face!

#37

Do you pronounce ‘neither’ as ‘neye-ther’, ‘knee-ther’, or either one interchangably?

In case of nuclear holocaust, would you spend the greatest part of your time pillaging or raiding?

Do you know the proper pronunciation of the word ‘cwm’, and the definition?

Do you prefer to use your dominant hand or non-dominant hand for unpleasant tasks?

Assuming your definition of ‘inside joke’ also includes things that are amusing to you and yourself only, do you drop these jokes in everyday conversation, online and off, with sheer impunity?

Do you wear a cape? Cloak? Habit? Frock coat, sword and knee breeches? Silly clown suit and spinning helicopter-bowtie?

I have more, but these will do for now.

an inarticulette?

I didn’t respond to your flirt because I left to go out and party that night, I had thought I’d have at least another hour, but my friends showed up early. Sorry
and by the way you and mrblue were pretty “busy” I must say

I don’t have a scanner or digital cam, but a couple of my friends do, I just haven’t remembered to get a pic. But I will get one on here for you. :wink:

Redukter
‘neye-ther’

“In case of nuclear holocaust” I’d probably be raiding

Do you know the proper pronunciation of the word ‘cwm’, and the definition? …huh? I haven’t ever even heard that word before.

Do you prefer to use your dominant hand or non-dominant hand for unpleasant tasks? non-dominant

Assuming your definition of ‘inside joke’ also includes things that are amusing to you and yourself only, do you drop these jokes in everyday conversation, online and off, with sheer impunity? I drop them in all the time, more so IRL.

Do you wear a cape? Cloak? Habit? Frock coat, sword and knee breeches? Silly clown suit and spinning helicopter-bowtie? can’t say I do
