Yeah, ain’t I, though? Rollin’-eye-smilie profound, THAT’S how profound I am. Hell, Jack, I think I’ll just go change my username to “Rollin’-eye Profound Bluesman”. Unless you was a-goin’ ta use sumpin’ like dat, yo’se’f, suh. Kinda “Rollin’-eye Profound Jack Batty”, like.
Think it over - it fits.
So who are we cheerfully damning here? A disc jockey? Talk show host? Talk show caller? (please tell me you’re not griping about the quality of talk show participants.) Some guy with a palindrome* for a name?
*Which leads to the question: what other pop/rock groups have had names that are palindromes?
Weeeeelllll, not according to Fenris, but that’s another thread.
Or perhaps you might consider, “Hijackin’ Every Thread Started By Posters Who I Hold A Grudge Against Bluesman”. No? How about, “I Know You Are But What Am I Bluesman”. Either one seems to fit the bill.
My point precisely. The OP was damning an ignorant caller on the radio. Which then tangented nicely into a nice little riff on Swedish pop bands and woven materials. Do we really need to hijack this into another “I’m Right - You’re Wrong” argument?

Nah, Jack, too long. It just doesn’t “sing”, ya know? And it doesn’t make any sense, either.
No smilie, Jack? Where’s that kewl, hip, ever-so-sophisticated rollin’-eye smilie, Jack?
Is that what you’re in a twist about? I used a smilie?
Heaven forfend.
My point stands.
And for the record – I barely ever use smilies, but here it seemed warrented. And I never, ever, under any circumstances consider anything – “kewl”.
Mama mia! Honey, honey, you say they worship ABBA? Surely they have had their cultural Waterloo if they’ve slipped that far. I was just talking to my friend Fernando (you know, the dancing queen I mentioned in the thread on gay entertainers?) in ICQ, and mentioned how I would never had seen this coming. He said I should get my angel eyes checked, as it was just the name of the game nowadays. I thought surely we would have seen some sort of cultural SOS beforehand, but apparently not.
Well…you could change it to “Crazy Rollin’-eye’d Profound Bluesman”, and make it your Halloween personna… 
[sub]And this wasn’t an insult, it just reminded me of an Adam Sandler skit…[/sub]
Me too, Anthracite! That’s what I was thinkin’ about, too! Not real “profound”, just funny.
And where the fuck is the wrong side of history anyway? Is that sort of round the corner of it, just a bit to the north? Or do you kind of have to do a sort of quantum slip manouevre and just slide between past and future and somehow wriggle into a topographical position (in the five dimensional sense, of course) in relation to history that is viewed as inappropriate by all right thinking individuals?
Or is this possibly just meaningless important sounding bullshit of the type spewed out by fuckwits who don’t know or don’t want others to know what they mean?
I’m not in a twist, ole buddy. I just wanted to rough-house with ya a bit. I thought YOU wanted to, Jack.
Now then, what point of yours is standing, Jack? The only point you made (such as it was) was that I was profound. Well, I agreed with you, didn’t I? If it’ll make you feel good, I concede again: I’m profound!
Maybe your smart-assed rollin’-eye smilie was “warrented” (sic) in your own mind, but it didn’t contribute anything at all, except sarcasm. It just attacked. That’s right, Jack, you posted…an ATTACK SMILIE!!!
Hey, I’m not in a twist, Jack, I just like twistin’ YOUR tail a bit. Kinda fun. You’re easily spun, aren’t you, Jack?
Okay, now, it’s YOUR turn. Unless you don’t care for this kind of rough-and-tumble, big-boy fun…C’mon, where’s the Happy Warrior in there, laddie?
Oh, and sorry I thought you’d be the type to use “kewl”. I admit I was going by a stereotype of someone from Okaland in a kew…sorry…“stylish” goatee. My bad.
Oh, this is just too good, too ironic. Actually, Princhester, the phrase is a favorite of the Left, the fellow-travellers since the heady days of Vietnam protests, urging all right-thinking peoples of conscience to think about how history will view them. Now, that’s really funny, and thanks for the laugh. We all need it these days, don’t we?
WOW, look at the time! Well, some of us have to get up in the morning to defend the country (yeah, I know it’s a national holiday, but somebody’s gotta do it), so the rest of you that don’t give a dam’ about any o’ THAT crap just stay here and agree with each other.
I’ll try to check in tomorrow, unless we’re on a really long shift, tryin’ ta keep y’all from gittin’ blowed up 'n’ever’thang.
Sleep tight. You’re welcome.
I don’t have a first fucking clue whether you or Jack Batty are from the left, right or whatever. I don’t even know what you have been arguing about. I’d have said what I said about the rhetoric you used if it was used by Chairman Mao, Ronald Reagan, Bluesman, Jack Batty or Mickey Mouse. You used the expression, you are percieved by the expression.
Mswas: what do you mean?! The whole concept of 1) resurrecting ABBA; 2) using young, freakish-looking people to do so; and 3) actually posting a picture of this hellish experiment in social and/or genetic engineering on the web, which we all know is the last bastion of truth and justice left on this benighted planet, just screams ‘wow’ to me. Either that or blasphemy, actually, not quite sure which… 
Now if the Taliban actually worshipped these yahoo’s we’d really have problems.
Someone implied this is already being discussed on a different thread. Could someone post me a link? I disagree with the statement (not that I think anything is wrong with Allah) but don’t wish to hijack this thread to rehash an existing thread.
Nevermind… there it is

Listen, Bluesman, my original post to you was pretty clear in it’s brevity, I thought. Apparently you’re the sort that needs things explained, so I’ll do my best.
I didn’t want anything but to point out that you were hijacking a perfectly innocuous thread with a grudge post.
**
“You’re profound” was the sarcastic comment I made. Its point was that, as I’ve said three times now, you were grudge hijacking.
**
Ah, so you do understand sarcasm. Now we’re getting somewhere. However, it was not an “Attack Smilie”, [sub]Band Name – I called it first[/sub] it was a reaction smilie. You were the one doing the attacking, bub.
**
Otherwise known as trolling. I calls 'em as I sees 'em.

This is rough and tumble? And here I thought I was just typing.
Big-boy fun, indeed.
Which goes, again, to show how much you a) know and b) think.
Here is my question to you: Did you or did you not recognize this thread as a humorous ribbing of ignorance which dwindled into goofy Abba-riffing? If so, what did you think would be accomplished by slapping that same old used up “non-patriot” tag on the OP? Just looking for a reaction?
{cough} trolling {cough}
Ok. All that being said – I know you’re not a troll, as I know I am not a troll. And the fact that you are in the military and may very well be asked to face a bullet for me is not lost on me …
But this is just a fucking message board. What is the point of carrying forth grudges?
