I bought my SUV to make up for a small penis.
RE: Greyhounds
I have heard that old Greyhound buses make great pets. After they have had a long career of zipping all over the country at 20 mph, they are happy to be given to a loving family. Great and gentle with kids. Go to www.operationbusrescue.com
Aw, jeez, I came in hungry this morning, all ready for a breakfast of leftover troll, and here I find you guys have taken all the best bits.
Anyway, one last nibble and I’ll let this thing die the ignominious death it deserves.
Wrong, dimwit. Although it’s nice to see you acknowledge your moronity as fact. Anyway, while you did make a number of (fairly minor) grammatical errors, I was attacking you based on factual errors. First you made an inaccurate statement. Then, when called on it, you denied making the statement.
Beagledave summed it all up:
Quite.
Nope, missed again, that is not what I think. You opened a pit thread to bitch about all the people fucking up your country. I take it to mean everyone who is not flying somewhere at this very moment, and everyone else who is not flying some where at this very moment. I can’t make out any more than that from your OP, and I have no doubt plenty of people have tried, and neither could they.
I see that you did come back in politely and tried to explain yourself, so I’ll just lay off with this parting though, and without further insults: I have no idea what you’r talking about, but then, it isn’t important that I understand anyway, you have many faithful readers here, willing to discuss things.
Thanks for the new word. I’m a pickuppie! And maybe I’m just imagining things, but the OP rant reeked of jealousy to me.
You won’t get an argument from me…

:::shaking head::: Erek, bubeleh…The line is “Who’s the bigger fool? The fool, or the fool who follows him?”
And it’s not a proverb. It’s Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Who are these unpatriotic bastards that won’t sacrifice their kid’s lives for our economy?
They’d get a free flag at the funeral.
That’s it, I’m buying a Chevy!
I’ve heard both actually. Whether the one I stated is new within the last couple of years or not is irrelevant. I’ve heard both, and Obi Wan Kenobi is just as qualified to start a proverb as someone with an old Chinese name.
Erek
Liar.
Idiot.
Troll.
I defy you to provide a cite that proves you didn’t just now make that up.
<pat on the head>
It’s ok ferrous, I am sure you can find something else to get on my case about. You don’t need to worry about me making up proverbs. Please do me a favor and find a cite that explains how a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
</pat on the head>
Apparently there are those of us that are just plain idiots, and then there are those of us that are well spoken and highly educated idiots who have no excuse. Apparently I fall into one of these categories, and I would claim that you do as well, though I don’t have a cite for you, which one would it be for you?
You are a pathetic human being if my statement of a proverb that I heard requires a cite without you just accepting it because I insulted your SUV or your yuppieness or whatever it is I said in my inane rantings that broke your already fragile ego, that you have chosen to attack me in every thread I’ve posted in so far in the past couple of days, whether it’s relevant or not.
So poor dear, I hope you can find something else to base your ego on.
By the way, did you pick your name because Magnets stick to your skull?
Erek
Oh dear. Your biting sarcasm has wounded me to the core. I don’t know if I can continue…
Well, let me gather the shards of my shattered ego and attempt to respond to your pathetic dodging of my question.
Oh, and you may note that I do not find it necessary to quote your entire post first, in that it is right above mine, and I trust folks don’t need it repeated.
I’m not worried that you are making up proverbs. I am simply stating that you are. You misquoted Star Wars, trying to give the impression that you dug it out of your vast storehouse of oriental wisdom. When corrected, you say that you didn’t mean the Obi-Wan quote, you were referring to an similar proverb by “someone with an old Chinese name”.
I say to that, quite simply, that you are lying. You are embarrased to be caught out trying to pass off Star Wars as ancient Chinese wisdom, and now you are making shit up. If I’m wrong, prove it, and I will happily retract.
Furthermore, I am not “on your case” because I was insulted by anything you had to say about yuppies or SUV’s. I am a working class drone who rides public transportation and lives in an apartment. I have no fear of travel and have not changed my life one whit as a result of the events of September 11. I am on your case because you post opinions as fact without having the slightest fucking clue what you are talking about.
You post your rantings in the Pit, and then you whine when someone flames you for being a dumbass.
As for this:
That would be exactly two threads. Both in the same forum, both running at the same time. So if I’m reading multiple threads, and see your idiocy crop up in more than one, I must select only one in which to call you on it? Sorry, pal, I can post wherever I like. But don’t give yourself too much credit. I’m not stalking you. You are not worth the trouble. I’m just doing my bit to fight ignorance where I find it. And my comments were entirely relevant in both threads.
So set your tiny mind at ease. My ego is quite intact.
Ok, so I am a dumbass for thinking a child doesn’t need to go to jail? Or did you just post that because you thought I was a dumbass here?
<mswas plays with your magnets>
As for proverbs I didn’t realize that the word proverb implied Chinese, if there is an ethnicity that the word proverb implies I wasn’t aware. Anyway it’s a saying that I have heard. If it’s so important for you to believe that I made it up then that’s ok. Believe that if you will. Wisdom can come from Star Wars or it can even come from less reputable sources like you for instance. But when it comes then you are welcome to quote it. Anyhow, even if I made it up, it makes sense now, and you my friend are a fucking moron with a big vocabulary and a storehouse of knowledge. So I bow to your amazing superiority because you took a speed reading class so you could read more non-fiction books than I did last month.
Anyway, keep arguing with me. If you truly think I am a fool then you only look like a moron pointing it out again and again as if I had something to say that was as worthy of one such as yourself. I cannot possibly begin to compete with one so vastly superior as yourself.
And regardless of what I have to say it is stupid, even if it is not stupid when someone else says exactly the same thing. I didn’t see you jumping on ANY of the people that agreed with me that the kid shouldn’t go to Adult court for what he did, or any of the people that said they thought it would have been funny when they were a kid. So obviously the statement is moronic just by virtue of me saying it.
You know, with all the time you’ve been arguing with me you could have been working overtime to buy another non-fiction book, and had a little bit of trivia, I mean a cite to lord over my head.
A wise man once said: If it hurts don’t do it. (sorry I don’t have a cite for that)
Erek
What’s with all the sanctimonious “it’s a new world since September 11?” No it isn’t. So we’re not safe, so what? We’ve never been safe. It’s not safe to fly, it’s not safe to ride, it’s not safe to drive, it’s not safe to walk, it’s not safe to eat, and it’s never been safe to do any of those things. Just because nobody got it together to take down some obvious and been-obvious-since-they-were-built targets until last month does not mean they were not always obvious targets and always at risk.
What we have here is a failure of the imagination on the part of the colossus. Or rather it’s the opposite: the colossal imagination reigned unchallenged until 9/11. 'Til then we all thought we lived in Disneyworld. Now post 9/11 we can no longer believe we live in Disneyworld, but we’re going to try as hard as we can to believe we used to live in Disneyworld. Nah, we live in the real world and we always have, the same world the Afghanis live in and the one the charcoal serfs who are enslaved to our SUVs live in.
Here, you want a cite? I got your cite right here, chappie.

Oh boy, why do I try?
Okay folks, I promise this is the last time I will feed troll mswas in this thread.
First off, I notice you find it necessary yet again to quote my entire fucking post before you reply to it, even though it was right above yours. It’s not enough for you to waste bandwidth with your own comments, eh?
So anyway:[ul]
[li]I rarely read non-fiction books (and where in hell did you get the idea that I do?). I’m a science fiction guy, myself. Though I do tend to read the ones with real science and history in them. So let’s just chalk this one up to your “I post opinions on things I have no fucking clue about” tendencies.[/li][li]I attacked you in that other thread for saying you thought it was funny that some kid druggged his classmates without their knowledge or consent. I did not post an opinion on whether or not he should be tried as an adult. I am of divided opinion on that, and don’t have enough knowledge about what that would mean, and so I didn’t post on the subject. Unlike you, I try to get my facts straight before spouting off on something.[/li][li]If we were actually in the same room, and you attempted to play with my magnets, I would kick your ass up between your ears. (Lord knows there’s plenty of room).[/li][/ul]
And now, guess what? You get to get the last word! Feel free to drip sarcasm and hurl pithy proverbs to your hearts content. I’m done with you.
Indeed. mswas has STILL not supported any of the serveral ludicrous claims he stated. He’s not interested in using facts to support a position. If he was, he would have supported his assertions, or withdrawn him. Stick a fork in it.
that should, of course read “withdrawn them” in reference to his claims.
Ferrous transmitted to me through his magnets:
How’s this for facts straight, I never said it was funny that he gave the pot to the other kids. Wow, you didn’t get your facts straight. I said I would have thought it was funny when I was an adolescent. Now I feel that it is inane and juvenile, and guess what, the kid is a…juvenile.
Well, I am going to insult you more than I have so far, but this last statement is making me start to like you.
Thanks for the last word, I love getting it. 
Erek
I still don’t have to read all of this thread to know that it’s a fucked up little rant that belongs in the anals of Ms Sarah seeing through her little looking glass.
My god, get a clue OP, you suck, you proved it. Forget it and get on with more normal stuff that actually makes sense.
< roll eyes >
No, no pretty graphics here.
The sad thing is, the dumb bastard has the right to vote…
Sad.
Awwww, come on, peeps. Remember what it was like to be young and idealistic, so confident that all the folks out there in the real world with some experience under their belt were wrong and misguided?
I see some of myself (20 years ago) in the little guy. [Tousles mswas’ hair]
