STRAITS 'R U.S. - the STRAIT Dope

Of course, the real problem is those damn furniture manufacturers! (See this thread.)

But then I’m one of those crack-smoking lunatics that is opressing jally’s freedom by wishing s\he would post in intelligable English sentences. Sorry, man. Who am I to judge your own little method of communication? :rolleyes:

Presumably, when you post on the SDMB board, you are attempting to communicate with the SDMBers, so in my mind that would be adequate justification to post in language that the majority of the people at the SDMB will understand. If people felt a great desire to communicate with you, they would try to use language that you could comprehend.

Thank you for the reminder. I will start preparing a time vault with undestructable storage media on which I plan on keeping all my posts at the SDMB. I envisage a future in which all my descendants will be forced to memorize my SDMB wisdom at an early age.

What are your criteria for normalcy?

Transmission received clear as crack crystals. I’m no match for you guys, [meaning, literally, your mindsets are more a match for each other] and so, since you have an exclusive jargonian club, I have a great idea! one of my best yet, even better than the furniture… why not stay away from my posts? That way, my words or anyone’s beer won’t go down the wrong pipe - save you heartburn, too! That won’t necessarily stop practical jally from posting that which may be intended for the minority who still have some serious cells left in their anatomy.

Actually, at the rate the national jargon keeps changing, it may soon change, like, every 10 years & so you might find differences even between siblings, let alone parents & kids or grandparents & grandkids.

So, it looks like someone here doesn’t have me pegged after all, huh? Maybe that’s because I’m in the minority who can’t be classified within any niche. Or maybe a combination of that, plus stretching a bit. & maybe I don’t want to be pegged period. [it’s funny how so many people seem to think I’m a guy, lol, which comes to show how off base people can be.]

Oh, I know everyone’s most comfortable stuffing people in niches. My wife, the executive chef, and ex-zoologist, whose hobbies are yachting, yackety yack yack. That’s why, the best fix for the liberal?? indeed?? mindsets of this world, would be if possible if everyone were catapulted every few weeks or so, to live on various planets in outer space & be compelled to accommodate themselves to the varieties of ways & means possible. No, I’m not talking about films, rather Close Encounters of the Experiential kind. I’m not talking “watching” I’m talking “living”.

I’m really not in favor of stuffing people into niches, myself. I have found it tends to corrode the bricks.

Whoopee! Another adolescent that has discovered that dibursing gibberish allows it to pretend to feel superior to hoi polloi.

Ah well, on to the next troll. (I wonder where jebus will turn up next?)

Sure we have you pegged–hi ** Jebus ** wannabe…

Boy, sure glad I can talk in English…it makes it so much easier to communicate with geniuses and twits alike.

jally said (we won’t go into whyhe/she said it, because that might cause madness):

Oh, I have the possibilities narrowed down to nut, troll, or idiot. But I don’t know which one–or combination–is the actual explanation.

Ok, jally, you go first–on your way to Mars with you. (Your first “accomodat[ion]” will be learning to get along without oxygen. Good luck.)

Oooh, someone pit this one. Soon. I’ve a dilly for this one.

Hey, leave him alone.

Your blocking the glow that has descended on me for understanding his rambling.

It has given me the courage to listen to the guy outside on the corner at work. Maybe if I dedicate some time to him I can deciphers his gibberings as well. He might be saying something important like “buy Cisco before it goes through the roof.”

You know, I can’t count how many people I’ve stuffed into that tired old “wife, executive chef, ex-zoologist, yachting” niche. It’s getting awfully crowded. Honestly. If I run into one more woman cooking on a yacht while classifying the fish they see in the water, I’m going to blow a gasket.

Oh, and you seem to have missed the point, jally, so allow me to reiterate: it’s not us that are embroiled in jargon. It’s you. Or at least we’re willing to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that’s why your posts are totally incomprehensible.

You did understand it, didn’t you? And jally seems to believe you’re the one person in this thread who’s kind of a kindred spirit…

But for a modest present in small unmarked bills, we won’t tell anybody.

you know the game,
English to french to german and back,

pick your partners, here we go!!

You know, I think jally is just a little edgy because his bedroom is so cramped. :smiley:

Boy howdy…

So far, the natural general principle that will subsume this case can be defined in such a way as to impose the structural design, based on system engineering concepts. Similarly, the systematic use of complex symbols necessitates that urgent consideration be applied to a corpus of utterance tokens upon which conformity has been defined by the paired utterance test. Comparing these examples with their parasitic gap counterparts in (96) and (97), we see that a large proportion of intercultural communicative coordination requires considerable systems analysis and trade-off studies to arrive at any normative concept of the linguistic/holistic continuum. For any transformation, which is sufficiently diversified in application to be of any interest, the characterization of critically co-optive criteria is functionally equivalent and parallel to possible bidirectional logical relationship approaches. To characterize a linguistic level L, the independent functional principle is rather different from the naïve disprovability hypothesis. It should be noted that a primary interrelationship of system and/or subsystem logistics is, apparently, determined by the anticipated epistemological repercussions. As a result, initiation of critical subsystem development is not quite equivalent to irrelevant intervening contexts in selectional rules. Thus, within given parameters, the earlier discussion of deviance cannot be arbitrary in possible bidirectional relationship approaches.

Is this what you are trying to say, jally? Maybe the fine folks http://www.subgenius.com would understand you better than us.

In sum, you mean : “he’s a chump”?

Hey! Jally! Jusy say “No”.

Does anyone else smell concrete?

Oh jally…John has come up with a great sig for you…
