“Identifier of notcelots”?
In a closed door meeting.
I didn’t see that post, but I did see these:
Of course, one must admit that here in Canada where there is strong gun control, we’re practically overflowing with dead dogs, and escaped cats are terrorizing neighbourhoods, due to all the nightly raids by the Gun-Grab Squads. Houses are being tossed like pancakes, and hardly anyone has a computer any more. Or a job. (I’m just disappointed that the fucker doesn’t have an anecdote about a “friend” being attacked by “a escaped cat”.)
And there’s this gem (bolding mine):
Sadly, I’ll never know what that thread was that he wanted us to read, because it’s been cornfielded.
Truly, an amazingly ignorant fucking jackass on so many different subjects. But his stubborn baseless advocacy of falsehoods regarding guns is a major reason I’m not holding back in this pile-on. Fuck him.
That’s where the ocelot came from, and why no one reported it missing. It escaped when Kamala Harris siezed their guns in a raid; how are they supposed to post an “Ocelot Missing” thread from Harris’ re-education camp?
Interesting tidbit - a group of ocelots is called “an ocelot of ocelots.”
I know this because I called a high-ranking friend in the US Department of Collective Nouns.
Technically, it’s an awful lot of ocelots.
I’ve often used used “what the hell are all these ocelots doing here” as a collective noun.
My helicopter is full of ocelots.
Who brought that rhinoceros on the bus?"
I shudder to think what might be in your hovercraft.
Why, Albert Andreas Armadillo, of course…

According to my extensive research into group nouns for animals, conducted over the span of nearly five minutes with the aid of a glass of wine, one of the more memorable ones (confirmed by several different sources) is that if you see a lot of gnus, what you have there is an implausibility of gnus. Another one I like is a glaring of cats.
Unfortunately I have found nothing definitive for the poor ocelot, so I recommend we settle on “a lot of ocelots”. But I think we can also adopt one of my newfound terms; I think an implausibility of Savannah cats strikes just the right tone.
This thread is why I’m not going to get into explaining the actual history of Christmas to DrDeth. I do not expect that he will listen to the idea that the Catholic holy day is not the only historical ancestor to Christmas. Or how the Church of England even banned Christmas for a time because they thought it was too secular.
DrDeth is wrong and obstinate about a lot of topics, but Christianity is definitely one of the areas he is worst about.
An enuf of DrDeths.
That should be “a enuf”.
Good point.
He’s one of two idiots who argue absurd positions on WWII threads.
What makes him unique is his bizarre claim that the was a secret order by Roosevelt to Gen. MacArthur to “act surprised” when the Japanese attacked the Philippines. For those with more sensible hobbies than us WWII buffs, following the attack on Pearl Harbor the Japanese launched attacks and invasions in multiple locations across Asia, including the Philippines where Mac was the commanding general of the US army forces stationed there as well as field marshal of the Filipino army. The attack there happened hours after PH and the army should have had time to prepare and launch a bombing attack on Japanese forces in Taiwan.
In one of the great mysteries of the war, MacArthur disappeared into his personal quarters and requests for permission to attack were not granted.
Finally MacArther emerged but the US planes were caught on the ground and destroyed.
Many historians have weighed in on the question of what happened. The actions are inexplicable. Many people have accused him of being cowardly, others talk of the shock of war but our hero knows the answer! With a highly placed source, he knows about the conspiracy stated above.
The “expert“ is no one other than his own father! For a number of years he would regularly trot this out and clean his father was a staff member. When I finally cornered him on it it winds up his father was simply an enlisted man who one time typed up a memo to an officer on Mac’s staff!! IIRC
The story makes no sense at all! It’s common for countries to make sure they don’t make the first move, but Japan had already attacked Pearl Harbor. There was no need for MacArthur to run away and hide and fail to fulfill his duties.
But DrDeth is impervious to logic.
My account dates to 2002, but I haven’t logged in or even read the board in five years. DrDeth’s name is definitely one that still sticks out for all the wrong reasons.
