With the passing of summer, the amount of idiocy on the boards looks to be slowly abating, but inevitably there’s a few late-blooming fucktards like our good friend Not In Anger who didn’t get the memo that school’s back in session.
The prosecution’s first exhibit is this GD thread a perfectly reasonable and enlightening discussion of what exactly makes one a conservative or a liberal. And then Not In Anger comes along and, like an unneutered tomcat, indiscriminately sprays this bit of piss at the OP:
When I chime in to point out that the OP is, in fact, not even an American, our friend from Manitoba has this rejoinder:
I saluted him on his speedy invocation of Godwin, but then otherwise ignored him, and the thread for the most part continued in that same polite way that you would look away and continue a conversation at a party even after one of the guests has unfortunately pooped on the rug. But good old Not in Anger wasn’t done yet, and continued shitting his pants in search of attention, often when no one has even replied to him or otherwise addressed his, um, ‘material’:
After such an obvious display of looking, talking, and quacking like a you-know-what, I figured that would be that and Not In Anger would no longer be darkening the door of the SDMB. But lo, he’s back again tonight, this time bragging about pirating computer software:
I could close with a strong of Pit-worthy curses and invective, but really, this says it all in so much less: :rolleyes:
Oh, and Not In Anger? You might want to try wearing some looser-fitting shorts…it’ll keep your hard-on for the U.S. from showing so much.
F_X, it’s a very subtle reference to the Twilight Zone Episode “It’s a Good Life”, starring Billy Mumy. Excellent show.
Anthony makes people…erm…go away (to the cornfield) when he doesn’t like them anymore. He can also read minds, so everyone around him is busy concentrating on their GOOD LIFE and mental mumbles so he doesn’t make them go away.
Good story - I read it long before I saw it.
And yeah, that’s why I opened it too.
Though I also thought it might’ve had something to do with this thread, if it wasn’t referencing the TZ ep.
I know you all know this, but Not In Anger does not speak for the rest of us Manitobans. What a stupid wanker.
Liberal and conservative are American terms? The fuckhead obviously has not noticed that of the four main national political parties Canada has, one is called the Liberal party and another is called the Progressive Conservatives. A third is called Canadian Alliance (even more conservative) But I am sure many of you already know this, however Winnipeg-boy here doesn’t seem to.
Now, now folks, don’t pile on poor Not In Anger, it is obvious that he is suffering from a bout of Obnoxia gravis. Fortunately, it is not life threatening and should clear out in a few weeks. However, if the condition persists, a single dose of modern antibiotics such as bodoniline or tubadivatrol should clear the case nicely.
Aww, dammit! I thought I was being at least moderately creative with that reference, especially since I don’t think I read that particular thread. If anyone needs me, I’ll be off sulking in the Corner of Unoriginality…
By the way, I don’t mean to imply that Twilight Zone often screwed up stories. On the contrary, they were as diligent about sticking to the original story as any television show has ever been.
If you’ve never read the story, read it in my link above.
