The main problem I have with bj0rn is that he always refers to the “intelligent life” thread as against Iceland. PapaBear made outrageous comments to mock Thorleifur.
Of course not! That was PapaBear mocking Thorleifur’s contention that Americans today are responsible for their actions against Native Americans a century ago.
I will say that I enjoyed bj0rn’s “hvað fékkstu í morgunmat?” thread. Hmm… bj0rn doesn’t capitalize words in Icelandic, either? Hoe’s post on the thread indicates that Icelandic does use them.
Hey, bj0rn, just tell me what you have against capitalization. I don’t mind a word puzzle as your response, but just leave out future references to the “intelligent life” thread.
Well, let’s see here. Coldfire is Dutch, so he probably goes down to the neighborhood brothel and smokes a joint. I’m an American, so I sit in front of the teevee and pause every once in a while to wipe the drool off my chin.
That being said, can we lose the nationality stereotypes? I’ve read Coldfire’s posts in the other thread, and I am aware that he does not have a low opinion towards Icelanders, or any other nationality that I’m aware of, but making fun of Iceland is how this all got started, and if we continue to do it, he’s just going to get offended again and restart the vicious circle. If we’re going to pick on bj0rn, let’s pick on the man himself, not his country.
And with that being said, I don’t think that bj0rn qualifies as a troll, I think he gets his own category. Who knows, maybe a while from now, another prickly non-native-English-speaker who goes from incomprehensible to hilarious to incomprehensible to insulting and back to incomprehensible within the space of five posts will show up, and we’ll all say “Oh, look, it’s a bj0rn!”
P.S. Please don’t take offense, Coldfire, I’m not picking on you. Or the Netherlands. Your geyser remark was one of the more humorous ones made, and the most recent, so I used it as an example.
Modest? You bet I’m modest! I am the queen of modesty!
What made me pop a gasket with bj0rnish was the fact that I read the thread in one sitting, which truly and most cruelly gave me an actual headache. I suppose this style of language is best savored in small bursts over the real time of a message board. And, bj0rn, consider this as you develop your unique style…
No offense taken, hon. As far as the nationality stereotypes go: I know it’s not exactly an ingredient in a good debate, but then again, this IS the pit and I sure as hell find nationality stereotypes very humorous - as long as they’re not racist. But hey, you can call me a pot-smoking whore-shagging Dutchie anyday
As for this question, or rather cry for explanation:
" Hey, bj0rn, just tell me what you have against capitalization. "
I think I know the answer. You see, it’s obvious to us at this point that our friend bj0rn is a couple of cards short of a full deck. Thus, I am convinced that bj0rn is secretly a communist. Being not exactly the rocket scientists we all are, he thinks capitalization will lead him into the licking flames of Capitalism.
so thats why he also doesnt use apostrophes and shit, since some of them require touching the evil shift key…
Another pet peeve with bj0rn is the obviously ill-placed use and misspellings of some expletives, thus showing us his lack of comprehension of the English language.
“thats not what i sodding said” comes to mind.
Learn to speak a language politely before you start cursing. It’s hard enough understanding the real meanings and connotations of foreign curse words as it is, let alone using them appropriately. Although I sure as hell hope I’m any good at this fuckin’ swearing shit
I gotta admit I thought of bj(zero)rn as a troll for a while myself. But the man does show occasional flashes of lucidity and even wit.
Yes NTgrrrl, I too believe bj(null)rn deserves a category of his own, perhaps we can call him a sprite or pixie. There seems to me, to be an element of humor in those terms.
“The problem with the world is that everyone is a few drinks behind.” - Humphrey Bogart
Ahh yes Krish, i see what our favorite pixie bjorn is doing. Not really a troll but something that can get annoying at times. Anyway, reading bjornitos (el pobrecito!) first post brings back such confusing memories, like “WTF is he saying?” and “Uhh hmm i cant make heads or tales of this!”. Anyway, bjornito el pobrecito has gotten better at his postings in English. However, bjornito, at least learn to include single periods at the ends of your sentences in your posts.
Grammar lesson for Bjornito:
A period denotes an end of a complete thought. I know Icelanders dont think in run on sentences. Three periods does not constitute a stop in the English language (and most western languages that write in the Latin script). So, please bjornito, one is plenty.
‘The beginning calls for courage; the end demands care’
That statement was indeed unsupported. As are many jokes. They come from that part of my brain where my homour is stored. Some like it, some don’t. The latter can kiss my behind.
Make that humour. I have no idea as to where my ‘homour’ is stored whatsoever. Anyone who has information on the whereabouts of my ‘homour’, drop me a line
Like oh mah gawd (in his valley dude accent), bjorn like learned how to use punctuation! His sentences end in periods or exclamation marks depending on what he wants to convey! Very good bjornito, you are learning to respect the language most people speak here.
‘The beginning calls for courage; the end demands care’
i do that sometimes, or havent you been paying attention??
you might have been listening to those voices that say im bad at grammar stuff and thingy like that, so that might have confused your perception in the matter. do not worry, your golden plated language isnt getting scratched too much.
bj0rn…thank you, because regardless of your true intent you have brought hours of amusement to me. Not only have a laughed my ass of at your postings, but the responses to your postings as well. Simply marvellous!
I am however, starting to suspect that you say what you say full well knowing the response you are going to get. I am convinced that I have found a Master! O’great master, can I be your grasshopper? You are the greatest shit disturber I have ever seen. Do’t get me wrong, I enjoy the flining of mud, that takes place after your postings! Keep up the good (shitty) work!
Bjorn: Hate to break it to you, but once in a while isn’t enough. Maybe if you were consistent I might give a flying fuck. Read the link Krish has kindly provided. Oh, and your sorry excuse for English useage hardly constitutes scratching my “golden plated language” , whatever the fuck that means (sarcasm, since Bjorn seems to be seriously impaired in the humor and sarcasm department).
A better metaphor is: “don’t worry, I’m not slobbering and vomiting bile too much on your language”
Oh and Bjornito: Capitalize, Capitalize, Capitalize. It’s not hard to do and it might gain you more respect, kay? Buh-bye
I'm still not clear on the definition of "troll". Why would anyone post for any reason other than to get a reaction from other people? I suppose some might have existentialist reasons, but I'm pretty sure that virtually everyone posts with the expectation of getting some kind of reaction.
this is good…(that how to write good thingy that is)
if i am to use that (perhaps someday when i properly understand all those words ;))
you should better beware. cause if i ever spot a single mistake in grammar on your behalf i will be jumping up and down on that mistake, flattening it so it will be the size of a flag and raise it high above the united states flag i have in my room! (now did anybody note that sarcasm there?? or did you have to read this sentance to find out?)
but to tell the truth. i will not obey theese rules, but you sure are going to have to do it. isnt it nice to live inside your own created cage? isnt it filled with cushions and comforts, where not a single mistake is allowed or tolerated? (notice how i didnt name any names here)
