Well, since The Smirk can’t answer (excpet for the vos Savant, kudos on that), I will (in case he wants to fight his own ignorance). By the way, I make no claims to astoudning anyone with this info.
Who was the first person to mention Shakespeare as a writer, in what book did he do this, and what line does he use to parody which of Shakespeare’s plays?
Robert Greene, “A Groatsworth of Wit,” refers to Shakespeare as a “tyger’s heart wrapped in a player’s hide!” which is a parody of Henry VI part 1. Nope, hundreds did not write about Shakespeare in his lifetime.
What error of English construction is contained in your user name?
The article “The” is not used for names, with the exception of leaders of Scottish clans.
How many cattle did Noah take aboard the Ark (according to the Bible)?
14–7 pairs of animals that were also food.
What is “unified theory” in public speaking?
Boring, but it means that all subpoints should be related to the thesis (instead of simply related to the main point they’re under).
Who was the first NFL quarterback known for regularly moving out of the pocket?
Namath? Namath? You clearly don’t know football. Joe’s bad knees hardly make him a cnadidate for scrambling. Fran Tarkenton is the correct answer.
So you’re only 19. So fucking what? I know the Shakespeare answer and I didn’t live when he did. If you want to claim that you are astounding and can answer all, you can’t then whine “but I’m just a kid!”
Hahaha this is funny. I post something in the mundane and pointless area… that is and was… sarcasm, as well as mundane and pointless. Everyone jumps on the flame the new guy bandwagon! Wahoo…
Alright more answers. I answer from the top of my head. Of course you’re going to get “I don’t know’s”.
Off the top of the head means, un researched answers doesn’t it? I have to say that my information is not worthless either. Its very important to me, its who i am. As for the best expert in the world this is something Cecil is not. No offence. He’s entertaining, he’s right, the worlds best, I doubt that.
As for moving my mouse. I move my mouse better than you. I did in fact point to the mundane area. Rather the someplace really important. This was never about flaming it was about having fun. I can understand the simple directions of this website. I looks like… at least 40 some people have responded to my posts too. So you’re wrong.
Esprix I can take the heat. Besides, what if my EGO, is something I’m trying to rebuild? What if I’ve had an incredibly trying time. I’m just no getting back on my feet trying to feel good about myself. Feeling comfortable enough with myself to believe I’m good.
I guess I shouldn’t feel that way. I should feel like a 15 year old with bad grammar and spelling, that can’t follow directions, and, I should just leave because I’m just too dumb to be here.
I’ve got just as much right as the rest of you. I won’t leave. Unless I’m banned. If it comes to that. Well I guess I’ll have to get a new email account. From looking around it seems as though. You guys just don’t want anyone to join your ‘exclusive little club.’ I see all kinds of newbies getting yelled at. I see lots of rude activity and you seem to see yourselves above this. So perfect and wonderful… well my new goal. Rather than astaounding, and making your feel good about yourselves. Answering your questions as best I can. I think I will be here as a constant reminder that you aren’t stamping out ignorance you’re just replacing stupidity with a different brand of your own ignorance. You didn’t interpete my post the same way i did.
I try to be nice. I really do. It seems that many of you are just mean, at least to me.
Btw, I’m asking the gay guy, why did you double post?
As for you Jodih. I’m sorry you don’t understand what I posted. I said the questions were a little vague. If I’m not looking anything up, why would you ask a question where I would almost have to look something up? What is the average weight of locomotives around the world. I wouldn’t even venture a guess. Who knows that off the top of their head? WHO? show me 10 people who know. I’ll give you a stuffed animal.
Also I’d like proof of my idiocy. I’d also like someone to honestly think of a reason I would be aggressive? Think about this… I post… everyone is mean to me… hmmm…
Sounds like a good reason to be a little smug/disappointed/annoyed to me.
Screw the thick skin. I’ll see you guys in the pit.

So here I am doing everything I can, holding on to what I am, pretending I’m a superman.
I’m not claiming that 19 is reason to be wrong. I’m saying its a little unfair, thats all. Please don’t refer to me as the smirk, thats childish.
Btw… you made a nice lil mistake there with astounding. Just thought I’d get you back a little for he nit picking. (yes i know childish).
Great, I’m not an english, or that well read. I read, but I find my time is a little pre occupied with my school work.
Acutally there is nothing wrong with ‘my name’ however. You can put that to use with my SCREEN NAME. Most people don’t have numbers in their names either.
I didn’t know the exact number on the ark. I just didn’t know. However common sense would deem that there would be more than 2.
This isn’t public speaking. I’m not a public speaker either. Therefore I don’t know the unified theory. Sorry my bad.
About the NFL. I don’t know. Sorry.
I guess thats it then. Any more questions?
Fire away.

Snow is falling from the sky, in the middle of july.
That is the crappiest proof I’ve ever seen in my life. Substantiate your claims if you want to say them. I’m not even saying you’re wrong.
Just prove you are right. I might be an idiot. I guarantee you’re making a mistake if you prove it.
I see you’ve found the pit. Now its my turn. Cheers!

Talk to me like I’m a saint… we have been so over for so long. …
Can’t be happy without you… can’t be happy without me… still you always wanna pick a fight with me!!
Ahem… sorry, but I beg to differ with this particular line. It’s one that I hear echoed alot around here, and I personally haven’t known this to be the case. I’ve been delurked for about three weeks now, and unless I’ve missed something, no one has yelled at me or even said anything remotely rude.
Course, that could be because I am taking my time getting to know the dynamics of the place and observing what sort of behavior is and is not accepted. Or maybe cause I’ve BCC’d all the men with my response to Ed’s “Psychic Orgasm” thread.
Yeah I’d say you lurk. I’ve been here two days and I have like… 30 less posts than you do. It looks as though no one jumped on you when you made your first post.
I’d say a month or more(not exact). I see a lot of people talking flashy so I figured I’d just jump in and do a neato post. I wasn’t quite prepared for the uh… luke warm welcome i received.
No troll status isn’t decided by that. People who don’t like you call you a trol… Mostly. I mean some people seem like trolls to me, but no one calls them trolls. Oh well. I’m in the pit anyway. Hehe… bring it!!!
The Urge
you see… cuz she’s got what it takes… she’s got heart and soul…
Urge-
I think you’ve misinterpreted the term “troll”. A troll is someone who makes deliberately offensive posts in a lame attempt to get a rise out of the other people on the board. In other words trolling for a response, as a shrimp boat trolls for prawns.
A sock puppet is a second identity created by a poster, usually a troll,whose sole purpose for existence is to agree with the troll’s position.
We recently had a multi-troll (troll with all his sock puppets,) depart from the board, shall I say, involuntarily. Usually went by Phaedrus, also suspected to be known as Captain Ed, among other identities. His career wound up a few weeks after I started posting here. We basically had an epidemic of trolling, and it kind of left the whole board with a sour taste in it’s mouth. So anyone new on the board who starts off with a post that’s the slightest bit antagonistic is bound to be met with fierce hostility.
Oh, by the way, now that I’ve read some of your other posts in other threads, I see the smirk was a running thing with you, though I have no idea why.
Then why tell us we’re going to be astounded?
Um, little point - you don’t come into someone’s living room and then put them down for their bad taste. As far as everyone is concerned here, Cecil is The Man - saying less is insulting.
So obnoxious, pompous behavior is justified if you have a bruised ego? :rolleyes:
I doubt it will - you need an ego adjustment, but you’re certainly not being insulting or inflammatory, and those are the things that will get you banned. Besides, no one has asked you to leave, just to get a grip. Stay, leave, do as you will.
Ah, well, if you’re going to troll on purpose, it’s going to get a whole hell of a lot worse. As it stands, our best troll smashers haven’t even noticed you yet - you’re not even a blip on their radar. But if you start being more forceful about it, well… I’ll say a prayer for you.
T’was an accident on the part of my server, plus the board was being wonky (again). You’ll find that MPSIMS goes down roughly once a day, usually in the afternoon.
OK, let me re-post your OP:
Now, say you’re sitting in class one day with your friends, and a new kid arrives at school. His first day he sits down next to you and says, in his coolest attitude, “I’m going to astound you. I’m just as good as the smartest guy in this school, you’ll see. That, and damn I look good.” And then he smirks at you.
Now, tell me, would you:
[list=a][li]Fall to your knees and praise him based solely on this information[/li][li]Roll your eyes at him and go back to your schoolwork[/li][li]Point and laugh, and call your buddies in to hear this[/li][li]Beat the crap out of him at lunch[/list=a][/li]
I gather you’d choose B or C. We chose D based on past experience with about two dozen other poseurs just like this guy who have shown up in the past.
I will gladly go visit you in the Pit if you like.
aha… you keep thinking I leave the building way too much. I was just asleep.
Ahhh questions here we go. Thank you two.
The button is generally used by those thinking to speed up their computers. I don’t know what it did on 286/386 on 486’s it would drop the mulitplier on the processors so it would run at the bus speed. On the pentium/486 i twould boost the bus speed a little. Now they are just lights. They aren’t needed anymore because most people actually use their PC’s the top level.
Depends on who you ask.
Dunno of the top of my head. I’d say one.
No idea. Uh oh… I’m not astounding.

I foramlly retract the astounded.
I wouldn’t even notice this ‘class mate’ mostly because I’m shy.
So I guess… E none of the above. I’d ignore him.
As for wally. An ICQ number is now someones identity? Intriguing.
