Okay, just what did you put in you eggnog?
Nothing. Pacing myself. [digression]Based on the yelling in the kitchen, I have hidden half of Christmas dinner. I think there must be some shopping that needs doing.[/digression] Doing my part for creating a jtur free board for the holidays. Observe.
Morgenstern thought we needed another troll. I suggested two. Better safe than sorry.
Probably should have used more quotes, and, well names. I hate names in this thread though. It makes “them” appear like a summoning spell run amuck.
It must have been super dooper, Or I have had a ‘cup of cheer’ too many, myself!!
Okay, given the context, it isn’t lack of quotes that threw me, it was the lack of quotation marks. As in:
I just wasn’t parsing the sentence as-is. It was an “eats, shoots, and leaves” situation.
Someone farted in the elevator I think.
Guilty as charged.
As good as explanation as any. :eek:
In the interest of being politically correct, I want to wish everyone of us overworked, hysterical, troll hunters a Very Happy and Merry Cold and Flu Season.
That won’t offend anyone. Beat that you PC types.
On behalf of the differently infected I am greatly offended by this. Greatly I say!!!
Wat you got agin’ viruses?
Oh snap. SamuelA is just begging for more vitriol.
Tripler
Stay tuned kids!
Tripler - linky?
I read the latest goings on in the asteroid thread yesterday. Did he ever answer your question about English? Follow up: what is he talking about? He seems fact intolerant.
I suppose he means the belittling of “Stranger’s little post.” You know, someone who has earned the utmost respect here instead of being a running joke.
He never did. But it was an honest question. I was not aiming to snipe at him, but wanted to frame his logic to better understand where he was coming from. But, he went all Gene Ray on me, so I am ready and willing to pick apart the carcass of his argument.
Tripler
Guns’ is loaded. Waiting for the target.
I thought your thing was shaped charges?
I think it’s pretty clear (to me, anyway) that SamuelA never understood what Stranger On A Train was saying and for some reason decided to grandstand in GQ to showcase his self-perceived awesome intellect, but instead just ended up making a complete ass of himself as usual.
BTW, I didn’t know who Gene Ray was until you mentioned it earlier. Following your earlier link, yep, this is SamuelA to a T: 
… claims that all current sciences are part of a worldwide conspiracy to teach people lies; the theory’s ultimate truth (and what the conspirators are said to be covering up) is that each day actually consists of four days. Alongside these statements Ray described himself as a “godlike” being with superior intelligence who has “absolute” evidence and proof for his views. Academia has not taken [him] seriously.
It is! Now it’s nuclear shaped charges [sub]which don’t exist[/sub].
Tripler
Circling. . . circling. . . waiting for him to respond.
Technically, none of the nuclear weapons we’ve ever fired exist.
Only the unfired ones exist.
A paradox we’ll call Schrodinger’s nuke.
I’ve been taking **SamualA **classes, how did I do?
Yes, this is where (in the thread) I decided that reality did not work the way he thought it did.
