Neurotik, are you a pre-pubescent troll, or were you trying to be witty?

See the first post on that page.

My response, further down, is that Neurotik should head off the the Sesame Street site, but perhaps, upon re-reading his post, I should retract that.

Part of the problem is that I really have no idea what his point is. His post is logically incoherent, even upon a re-reading. But maybe, to be fair, he meant exactly this.

Is he being insulting to Australians, and the Australian convict heritage? -in which case, I have words to share with him.

Or is he drawing a satirical bow at jaybee’s logic?

Certainly his other posts on other threads seem to be less delphic.

Dave…Dave…Dave…

Guys, I’m going to be the one to tell him.

Too late, Rossarian has told me.

I most humbly apologise, Neurotik. My mistake.

Hey, mistakes happen.

Might I suggest that next time you wait for a response to your original query before dragging it down here?

Very sound advice.

this was funny. One of my favorite movies of all time, btw.

I’ve never even heard of it.

>sigh<

Obviously I need to get out more.

And now, please let this somewhat embarrassing thread quietly slide down the screen…

Have fun storming the castle.

[sub]And now I predict that the rest of this thread will be Princess Bride references[/sub]

Well, given the options presented to me in the subject line, I suppose I was trying to be witty :slight_smile:

It’s not a problem, although, I must admit I was shocked when I found myself the subject of a pit thread. I’m still laughing about it, and I’m sorry if I offended you.

It really was an excellent movie though, you should definitely see it.

Dave: I don’t think that going out will help you in seeing The Princess Bride. Rather, I suggest you stay in and watch cable TV until one of the networks shows it.

I have to say that you really don’t deserve the ribbing you’re going to get in this thread. But…

Bwahahahaha!!!

Never match wits with a Ceciian when death is on the line!

Cecilian, dammit!

After thinking about it and puzzling over it, I didn’t know whether to be offended or not. There is certainly no reason for you to be contrite. Again, I’m sorry for my misunderstanding, and I’m grateful you’re being a good sport about it.

Perhaps we should turn this into a Pit thread to berate people who shoot off for no good reason.

Dave, you really MUST go rent The Princess Bride. If nothing else, then so you will understand the many, many references and quotes that spring up on this board all the time.

This has got to be the funniest thread I have read all week!

Bets Dave won’t get my sig


Plato? Aristotle? Socrates? Morons!

~Heal me, hurt me, make me live again… -Better Than Ezra

Or maybe “Have fun storming the Canberra?”

snicker

I do not think it meant what he thought it meant.

Cecilians are limbless amphibians. We need to find a different term.

Aw, com’on people. Dave is only mostly wrong.
