Our little nest of vipers: Ramira.

He’s got to be a Sam.

I’m Dave. No, not that Dave, the other Dave.

(For those wondering if I finally lost it, https://www.historicacanada.ca/content/heritage-minutes/crazy-canucks )

Can’t be. Only other Canadian names are Bob and Doug. Both hosers.

No fucking kidding, dude?!?!? You guys were my idols growing up!

I raced some in college. Couldn’t touch any of you.

DAVE?!
DAVE!?

Dave’s not here.

Hey man, I’M A CANADIAN, man.:smiley:

( Well, Tommy Chong/BobBitchin’ is Canadian…I/me/SDMB member posting this is a loud American:dubious:)
On topic, I say if ya wanna spread your attitude around you HAVE to learn to say “I’m sorry” when you were an ass and " I was wrong" when your mouth over runs yer brain.

It happens to me in real-life all the time.

I like how the Ramira inserts the unnecessary definite articles in every sentence. I mean the sentence.

… just out of curiosity, do you start every post with an ellipsis?

I am not going to go investigate, but it’s been very noticeable in this thread.

So not Dave, or the other Dave?..

Colour me disappointed. :frowning:

He does and it’s awful. Almost as bad as the guy who uses carats to indicate quotes.

Yeah, the guy who is somehow being forced to read this thread and its links, post here and wants all that time back.

Unfortunately, this is not a magic universe. Hermione Granger ain’t going to appear with a time-turner to settle this.

It makes every post of his look like he’s being a snide teenager. “… seriously?”

Because he’s another one of the boards’ idiots.

BB is bound by the chivalric code to white knight for any female poster in distress. Ellipses are mostly because it isn’t easy to type wearing steel gauntlets.

As for the Ramira, yeah she is acerbic and sometimes an arrogant asshole but a) she’s French (I think) and b) who cares? Sometimes it’s annoying and sometimes it’s warranted or at least understandable. It just depends on the thread.

Guys, he’s got a legitimate excuse. He’s been doing it since 1997. Do you have any idea what happens if you just quit cold turkey, after being an irritating twat for 21 years? I sure don’t.

So you’re mocking someone for not being fully fluent in her third language?

Just out of curiousity, how good are you when writing in your third language?

Damn. I have great memories of a trip we took to Whistler when I was a kid to watch those guys. There’s nothing like experiencing a World Cup downhill in person.

This thread makes me think trump is building the wall on the wrong border.

Depends which way the exit doors lock. :slight_smile:

How good are you in your first? :smiley:

Ramira’s “the” thing is clearly at this point a deliberate affectation. Her English is good enough that the fifty thousand times it has been pointed out to her would have sunk in if she wanted it to.

If only it were that easy with a foreign language. {sigh}
