Oh. come one now! How can he stare at his shoes and type at the same time?
Its a phrase used by lowly Bengals fans like me on Bengals messageboards (yes, they exist, and there’s about 10 of us hanging around) to denote a thread that has gone on for too long. Lavar Arrington was a free agent rumored to go to the Bengals awhile back (the joke being that bigtime free agents never go to the Bengals nor want to play there) and the resultant thread was one of the longest we’ve ever had, rampant with specualtion.
So, anytime another thread starts to get long-ish, invariably someone chimes in with “Lavar Arrington?”. It’s like “Hi Opal” used to be around here I suppose.
See? Learn a new thing every day!
Fair enough. What’s a “Bengal”?
A Jew with stripes.
I will win this thread. My arguments are unassailable. Your only recourse is to lie because you are racist.
For evidence, see my posts that I already posted. It’s very convincing.
You are now convinced. Also, bring me a cherry soda. A kosher cherry soda.
Yeah, we’re pretty much finished. Pointing out yet again that spoke won’t address facts, or what have you, isn’t really going to be all that useful at this point. The thread’s pretty clear as a record.
I for one will be kind of sad to see it go. I was totally joking about the “thread going on too long” thing, just trying to lighten things up as they have been so serious and vile for lo these last 6 pages…I feel more informed on the matter thanks to everyone’s contributions, and continue to be amazed at the level of vitriol surrounding this issue by people that aren’t even there and aren’t directly impacted by the situation.
Or are we?
Eh, dishonesty is just a pet peeve of mine, and one this website of all places, it shouldn’t be tolerated. Then again, stupidity is also a pet peeve of mine… I don’t suffer fools gladly all that often either. And I suppose willful ignorance doesn’t really tickle me either (I think you can see where this is going…)
I can, and have, engaged in some good and polite discussions over the years as to Where We Go From Here. Unfortunately, people who have their facts straight, are honest, and approach the issue to discuss their ideas rather than sell a deceptive narrative on this subject are fairly rare. For every few folks like spoke, elvis, elucidator, Red Fury, whoever, we’ve only got one DSeid or Malthus, etc…
It’s a shame, but it’s where things stand.
We are not worthy! That’s the long and the short of it, we simply aren’t worthy of your acute intelligence and kindly good nature! Why, I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if you simply removed yourself from such company as ours, and preserve your integrity and sweet disposition!
If such sacrifice be needed, I, for one, stand ready to bear that burden!
You’ve sacrificed too much already, with your contributions to the U.S. power grid.
He didn’t post in that thread…?
Oh 'luci. You are just jealous of Finn’s intellect. He’s had that problem all his life. That’s why people don’t like him, you see. They are jealous. He told us all about it in this comical thread. (Read it to the end for full effect.)
His contribution is to generate a lot of hot air.
P.S. Interesting, spoke, in that even now you’re still lying. I never claimed that “people don’t like me”, but that my high school experience was rough due to anti-intellectual bullies. Guess that’s just another one of your ‘honest mistakes’, eh?
Oh I never said you claimed that. I was just stating it as fact.
Somehow I doubt that was quite what they were …
Got that quote yet about how Jews were trying to break into Bergen Belsen, elvis?
Tried clicking and reading yet, “intellectual”? :rolleyes:
Hrm, what a mystery… for days you have failed to produce a simple quote even after I read the piece and pointed out how you were wrong. Surely, this is because the quote actually exists and you are not a liar.
Speaking of which, provide the quote now.
So much for the “intellectual” part, then.
For those following along: about two weeks ago I caught elvis lying about a cite. That, or caught him yet again displaying his utter lack of ability to read and comprehend basic English, due to the fact that he’s somewhat retarded or playing stupid to troll. I’m honestly not sure at this point.
At the time, Elvis had just claimed that the Poppendorf Camp, in Germany, under British authority, where the British imprisoned Jews they captured on the high seas after subduing their ship via piracy and murder, was French.
Showing, naturally, that if Elvis reads the newspaper and tells you that the weather report says it’ll rain, you should check and make sure he wasn’t reading a recipe for fried hallibut.
Anyways, I pointed out to Elvis why he was either lying about the cite or totally misreading it in a manner that only he can:
It’s been roughly two weeks now, and Elvis has yet to provide the quote that (he insists!!!) actually exists. Each time I point out that he’s got nuthin’, he tells me to read the cite. Again, I can’t quite tell if he’s mildly retarded or if he’s trolling and know that he was making shit up, so he’s just going to keep telling me to read the cite in hopes of annoying me. Ah well, six of one, half dozen of another.
The fact remains that Elvis hasn’t offered a quite for the same reason he never will.
He made it up.
