Oh, bullshit! I paid twenty bucks for kittens, and kittens I will get!
Fine. When I was a child, I had a formative experience while watching a bunch of gerbils in a rium.
Much better.
Well, certainly better than a bunch of gerbils in a rectum.
What’s the matter, did the words “terrarium” and “vivarium” get booted out of the language to make room for “spammer” and “mankini” or something?
As Eugene V. Debs is my witness, I had not known such a word as “mankini” existed. Thanks, KD. Always good to hear from California.
Fuck that pseudo-linguistic airy-fairy bullshit.
It’s gin.
It’s spot of vermouth.
It’s called a martini.
I do NOT want to know what abomination a mankini is.
Ach, I’ll stick to single malts.
Goddamnit, now I want a Scotch.
You’re on the wrong track, and I recommend you stay there.
Whale oil beef hooked.
Better than keeping Richard Gere in a solarium!
I’m actually going to be up all night working on a rather intractable report. I also have a bottle of Springbank 15 that I’ll be sipping at throughout. I’d love to share (really–I generally keep about 10 to 15 different single malts and a few good blends on hand in case company comes). All you have to do is ask … but be warned: given the nature of the original thread, no matter how well crafted, how specific, how rational, there’s no way the request can be successfully phrased.
Well that’s why you invite Jesus to dinner – you can have any drink you want, and it’s on the House (of God).
And yet I was amused. Must not say much about me :D.
Meanwhile my favorite has always been Xanthocephalus xanthocephalus - the ‘Yellow-headed Yellow-head’. For some reason that had always tickled me. Again, that fact may not speak well of my sense of humor ;).
My favorite is the western lowland gorilla: Gorilla gorilla gorilla. Now that’s just fun to say.
Is that anything like Beetlejuice beetlejuice …
For some reason, that’s gotten the “Magilla Gorilla” theme song going through my head.
Back to Pitting prr - in the original thread, he says this:
Shorter version: ‘you keep saying my thought experiment is done all wrong. Why, oh why, aren’t you willing to participate in it?’
Is he just incredibly obtuse? Or does he simply not understand what his own words mean? No way to tell, I expect.
Looks like he’s changed the rules again. Up until this post, it was clear that you only got one try, and if you got your description wrong, it was game over.
What a twit.
Yeah, I tried to help you, but the wall-of-text responses he keeps throwing up are just too annoying to actually stick around and say more. Especially since every one of them results in a rule change. By his current rules, at least 50% of the historical figures who lived more than 1000 or so years ago would be virtually impossible to produce, because their historical and mythical lives have become so intertwined.
Why did anyone bother engaging in the first place? It was clear — almost from the start — that the intent was construction of a set of rules that would preclude the person commonly referred to in English as “Jesus Christ”. And having tuned the rules such that the genie would refuse any reasonable description of that person, the OP would have obtained a nice gotchya.
