elucidator, You Are The Ultimate Troll

Oh, it was out of line to liken elucidator to a vacation. And in summer too… :frowning:

No, it’s trolling to act like you don’t know how to use Google and look up a word.

Damn, but of course you know that.

Just got trolled.

I suppose that’s true, but even after looking it up it sounds like slang to me. I’m still not too sure how people are actually using the word.

Prolly just assigning it whatever meaning they want it it to mean.

You know, prole. Proletarian. Hard scrabblin’, hard drinkin’, oft exploited but well ‘ard an’ proper naughty working class, guv.

I’m rich. That’s why I drink the champagne of beers.

I drink the beer of champagnes.

You can keep your [del] pussy[/del] kitten, but could you send that brain peeing angel chick over to my boudoir? She sounds kinky.

I’ve only started about ten threads during my ten years here, and one of them was simply to express my appreciation for elucidator’s wit. That was about seven years ago, IIRC. My opinion hasn’t changed (though, like any of us, he has his off days.)

Ah, yes, here it is.

That one was shorter, JKM. Looks like the right way to get love for **luci **is to attack him instead, and then just step back and hand out towels.
<CT>Wait a second… I call false flag on Klaatu!</CT>

Elucidator is one of my very favorite posters at SDMB. His insightful posts often distill an intelligent conclusion into a short pithy paragraph. His jokes make me laugh. Often he combines great humor and intelligent opinion into a single post. I’ve thought of creating a webpage: Sayings of Sergeant Luci.

Now it’s true that Elucidator and I both caucus on the normal-amygdala side of the aisle. A quick search on OP’s posts suggests he may be more comfortable with the bloated-amygdala types. So let’s do a simple experiment.

I nominate Elucidator as the most humorous intelligent Doper from “my side of the aisle.” Who would the bloated amygdalas nominate for their intelligent Twain-like champion? Obviously there’s a good chance I won’t find their nominee amusing, but we’ll have the two nominees available for comparison by any “objective” observers.

Perhaps by “ultimate troll” the OP meant “last troll,” as in “last Doper one would think of as being a ‘troll’.”

“Bloated amygdala” really does a good job of synopsizing the way right-wingers respond mainly with fear and disgust. I Googled to see if I coined the term myself and, though the quoted post was the first of five hits, it was apparently first used on-line four years ago in a comment at a Wonkette blog.

Another hallmark of right-wingers is an unwillingness to research or learn. In response to a previous post about right-wingers over-active amygdala, one Doper responded, in effect, “Yeah, but in addition to fear and disgust our strong amygdala gives us empathy.” Wrong, as a moment’s Googling would have shown.

He would be funnny if we were all at Woodstock, stoned out of our gourds and talking about a groovy new bong.

But, alas, he is a stupid man who thinks he is witty. And, to top it off, he believes he is morally superior to everyone.

Hard drives cry when he posts, knowing that good electrons are being wasted on his tired old drivel.

And yet, in the intellectual cesspool that the 'Dope has become, he is held in high regard.

Slee

Speaking of intellectual cesspools :

Electrons are not used to store data on hard disk drives. They never have been. If you had named just about any other computer part, up to and including a monitor, your pathetic analogy lamenting wasted electrons would not have revealed you for the idiot you are.

As much as I love a good putdown, I hate to tell you that you still have to send electrons to the disk, and it uses electrons to move those tiny magnets.

See, luci can do it without being factually incorrect. That’s why he’s better than you.

Those electrons are not “wasted”. I assure you they are still in circulation, even as we speak. By saying hard drives waste electrons, he clearly implied they were taken out of circulation to “hold data” or some such.

As to the rest of your post, grow the fuck up. Not everything’s a pissing contest.

I would also note that if 'luc is a troll, he’s the least successful troll ever.

Remember all those times that he’d drop one of those angel pee kazoo melodies into a thread, and the ensuing argument over 'luc’s post would totally hijack the thread?

Neither do I. In fact, I don’t remember even one of those times.

Sometimes people respond in passing to the kazoo melody, and sometimes not. But the general thread of the discussion keeps right on going.

If he’s trying to troll, he’s failing miserably.

But speaking of trolling, where’s the OP? I notice he hasn’t been back.

A gas? Damn, Uke, you’re dating yourself - you must be almost as old as me!

How about if we just play “Jumping Jack Flash” on the kazoo?

Ah, that’s probably why he hasn’t been back. Angel pee has its uses, but tastes just awful on cornflakes.

It’s really simple: you, as a father, are mandated to offer your wisdom and guidance to your son. And by the same rule, he is required to ignore and dismiss it. Play your part, man!

So how is the kid these days? (Yeah, I know, long since grown up, but aside from that.)

Just like Crazy Uncle Antonin always says. :slight_smile:

There were no bongs at Woodstock. Its popularity in the counter-culture was inspired by American servicemen returning from…Asia.

Snide, ironic and sarcastic. Gets it from his Mom.
