Dumb-ass motherfucker is [trying to tell me how my own city’s National Park works.](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-ethics-of-my-octopus-teacher-possible-spoilers/939157/35) You know, the one I live right next to, and whose seas I have swum in all my fucking life. The one whose boundaries I even played a _tiny_ part helping to draw up, years ago.

His motherfucking hubris knows no limit.

Well, you did accuse him of “Yank-splaining.” Most of the posters in this thread are Yanks.

It’s OK. The dagger plunged in my back doesn’t hurt that bad if I keep in a crouching position and never lean back. 😏

That bar is set so low that if you look up you can see the Marianas Trench.

I figured it was meant to refer to either. If not, I sincerely apologize to the octopus in the movie.

Actually, I explained that I was completely wrong, and appreciated poster MrDibble pointing out the facts.

But thanks for once again completely misunderstanding what I typed. You should perhaps see someone about that.

You fumbling up a google on the location of the film and what MPAs are, lamely googling up octopus catches and babbling confidently at length bout them until corrected kinda tells your tale.

Eta: and here we go. I see you’re busily typing up a way so as to never once lose an argument on the internet.

At least DrDeth is a workhorse reactionary. You are an absolute embarrassment for the Left.

I’ll take Clue Number 5, Alex: “In a thread about a major jackass, he outs himself as Jackass #2. Hint: He’s already been suspended once before.”

Correct answer: “What is a FigNorton?”.
