In which a certain shop owner is reviled.

I think it’s quite clear that my behaviour has proven the exact opposite of what you claim it has shown!

Well, let’s have a straw poll.

Hands up those who have posted rude ascii art?

<<Silence. Then Moto’s hand goes up with pride. Heads turn to SBSO, who resolutely does not raise his hand.>>

Hands up those who have posted a mega-font obscenity?

<<Again silence. Again heads turn. Again SBSO resolutely does not raise his hand.>>

Compared to how many posts I’ve made it’s a small number.

Any hoo, I don’t expect that I’ll have any time to post again until Wednesday afternoon, so toodle do.

Hugs and Kisses!

Mama won’t let me. :frowning:

SBSO, you’ve had enough hassle here.
Ya’ll can forget about returning those Lend Lease destroyers, y’hear?

You are a bit of an attention whore, now aren’t you.

I shall wait with bated breath.

:wink:

I’ve noticed Small British Shop Owner more than most other posters recently and I just assumed it was the neat user name. No, apparently he posts 100 times a day. “Day-amm” as they say!

I didn’t think he was a bad poster, but I just read that whole Cafe Society trainwreck. God good man? Are you really that stupid?

Being that stupid almost requires a constant paddling of the swollen ass (with paddles). Although I wouldn’t want to be accused of being low brow with my interest in ass paddling.

If this is a vote, I’d say just go, you’re not making a good first impression.

I often wondered why Randy was in use in the US, doesn’t randy mean, well, randy over there?
[/QUOTE]

That’s right. However, Randy is short for Randall, and Dick is short for Richard; no one has named their sons Randy or Dick. However, Roger is Roger; it’s not short for anything. So why name him that?

[QUOTE=Small British Shop Owner]
In all honesty, I don’t do very much in the shop these days, as I have more important things to be getting on with.
[/QUOTE]

Like posting 100 times a day? :smiley:

My 40-year-old cousin is named Randy – just Randy.*

  • (Well he has a last name too; I just don’t want to tell you what it is. :smiley: )

Are you sure it’s not short for something else, or are you just assuming it’s not?

Admittedly, I have known one person who had Danny on his birth certificate, not Daniel, but these cases are rare. Anyway, in West Texas, I never heard that Randy was slang for anything until I was an adult; it just wasn’t used. (Dick was a well-known slang word, however, which afforded us kids hours of mirth for people who went by Dick, like our junior-high band teacher.)

In England, however, Roger seems to be a well-established slang for a certain act, or at least I get the impression that it is. So why would someone name their son Roger?

He’s poor Randy Grandy, isn’t he? :wink:

I always thought Randy Johnson was unfortunately named

I don’t know why so many people name their hot Asian daughters ‘So Honee’. I see it in movies all the time and it always leaves me scratching my head over it.

d00d, SBSO, by the way I’m in total agreement about a name change should you subscribe.

I get hung up with the ‘small british’ part of it.

All this time I’ve envisioned you as a six inch tall, very dapper Brit gent complete with tiny bowler and tiny walking stick; who twirls his 'stache as he pontificates.

NO one has mentioned the name Peter O’Toole.

And his nickname: The Big Unit.
For those who don’t know who Randy Johnson is, he is a pitcher for the Arizona Diamondbacks of Major League Baseball.

Or John Thomas

Exactly what kind of movies are you watching? :smiley:

Seriously, though, I’m not a big Asian film buff (except for some assorted dramas - I’m not into ninja movies or anime), so I’ve never heard that name before.

Actually, a Google search turns up a mere forty results for it (all “me so honee” jokes), so I guess you must be spelling it incorrectly if you’re indeed seeing it pop up so often.

Well I 'member in Full Metal Jacket there was a chick called “Me So Hornee”

No, wait…that’s what she was, or so she said

Personally, I find Shop Owner annoying as fuckall. Just a vibe I get. And it’s not a mob pigpile thing-- I liked and miss Quiddity Glomfuster.
