Very good call Wally.
HUGS!

PS. I wasn’t going to join in on on this thread. I was semi-hoping that he would actually have some redeeming quality eventually. I am disapointed in you for proving me wrong.
It is different from the OgreFade profile, yet the same as the one in the Urge profile. AND the same as the one OgreFade posted in the ICQ thread quoted above.
OgreUrge: this is really pathetic. I’m sure you realize that. Don’t answer me or any of the others, resist the urge (har-dee-har). Just leave, OK?
OK, maybe an ICQ # isn’t an ID, but exactly why would you use OgreFade’s ICQ # if you weren’t the same person? The same # is posted on OgreFade’s webpage. This plus your confession(?) over in ATMB certainly makes this an open and shut case as far as I’m concerned. I doubt the administrators will be any slower to see this.
Urge, let me let you onto a little secret. If you come into a new place (not just this board), and announce you’re the greatest thing that ever was, you’re going to get your head handed to you on a platter unless you can back it up. So far, you’re batting about .120. If I were you, I’d just abandon this thread and let it die. Try posting a few less egotistical messages, and see if you can overcome your obnoxious first impression.
Some room. One of our computers maybe down? Ever think of that perhaps? Perhaps a typo. Who knows. What if he made a typo? Has anyone bothered to ICQ that number to find out if it says ‘the urge’ or ‘ogrefade’?
Don’t bother though. That isn’t a plea for someone to talk to me.
I refuse to leave. I told you that before.
What if I’m just the martyr ogrefade needed? Perhaps I’m a multiple personality. There are hundreds of reasons I can think of.
Sorry cub. I guess I’m not that great of a person. Lord knows the board wants to tell me about it. So I have no redeeming qualities. I’m thinking one of you would wanna come and assassinate my character a little more
A-HA! Progress. A bit of a deflated ego will go a long way here, Urge. (Of course, now you’ve got, what, 5 active threads going on solely about you? Sheesh. Sounds like classic troll behavior to me. But I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt.)
Uh, that was option B - turn back to your own work.
So, in this case, we all should have just ignored you, as you would have to this new guy?
Actually, I think the original question was intended as a joke. The “ground speed of a swallow” is a running gag in Monty Python’s Holy Grail. It’s a fun movie and I recommend it if you haven’t seen it already.
Hmmmm, it’s a tough crowd in here. Here’s my take on The Urge: he was trying for an entrance that make his name instantly recognizable (and succeeded immensely). However, I also think the entrance misfired. What was intended as tongue in cheek was read literally by others.
His initial post was taken as cocky, but to me his follow-ups came across as pretty reasonable (until he was pushed, in which case he just pushes back)
Where others see a jerk, I see a young kid. Cut him some slack. Get to know him before you try to humble him.
Don’t sweat it, Breaker. Welcome to the Greatest Show on Earth! (hey, Ringling Brothers got NOTHIN on the Straight Dope Message Board. We got clowns, performing animals, death-defying stunts, the best popcorn in town, and – ta da! Cecil Adams).

I was banned eh?? I sent an email to TubaDiva telling her the truth. So your secret sucks Esprix.
I wasn’t a former troll ever. I was a newbie. Now. I was called a troll. I still don’t beleive I am.
Now
as for you coldfire. You’ll have to wait on that. I’ll prolong that as long as I possibly can.
I understand your point Esprix. Things didn’t turn out like I thought they would.
As for beakersxf I’m sorry you’re dissappointed in me… I was never a former troll though. Those are the sort of things that piss me off. I wanted a fresh start. Wally thinks he’s great because he can check ICQ numbers. I put the same information twice. It was intentional. No I’m not trying to make myself sound smart.
I knew it was a monty python joke as well. I still don’t know the true ground speed.
I beleive it was the Air speed of a latent swallow. i’m not sure i remember right.
The Urge
Evidently my error - in ATMB TubaDiva specifically said both names were banned.
What truth would that be?
No more so than yours saying we would be astounded by you. (Well, perhaps it wasn’t so far off the mark, but astounded not in the way you’d anticipated or hoped.)
I think this might be more on the mark, but then, I wasn’t that familiar with your previous incarnation. All I know is you whine a lot about how unfairly you’re treated.

Don’t insult our intelligence. You fucked up, and we all know it. Quit being a martyr and make yourself useful around here, or make yuorself scarce. The “It was all in the plan” stance is running really thin, matey.
Tsk, tsk urge, for someone who is supposedly as good as Cecil, you sure couldnt answer any of the questions I asked. They’re not even hard to find information on either. I am so not astounded.
No idea I’m not a botanist.
You don’t have to be a botanist to know this. I’m not one either. Some answers are: Piperia yadonii (Yadon’s Piperia), and Epipactis gigantea (Stream Orchid)
Crap. Once again I dunno. I have suspicions but I’m not real sure.
Well son, suspicions don’t cut it. Answer is: the Philippines. Independance was won from Spain.
Crap… no diea.
Sheesh, M basically gave away the second one.
Answers are: Ilonggo - Philippines, Malagasy - Malagasy Republic, Minangkabau - Indonesia
Words that have the same meaning but are slightly differently depending on the usage.
Sorta like sie and Sie, and the different genders of das der die …
Nope, wrong. You have failed the grammar portion of the test. Strong verbs have a vowel change in the roots of inflected verbs: sing, sang, sung. Weak verbs are inflected with suffixes without inherited change of the vowel: work, worked, and having a past tense with a dental ending as in: brought.

no idea I don’t think I’ve ever heard though.
