betenoir:
Thanks for the apology. It’s much appreciated and accepted. I hope you understand why I misconstrued your post, as the term “ripped off” is somewhat synonymous with plagiarism.
Dr. Paprika:
Your conclusions are wrong. Your logic is flawed. Your prose to prolix (if that doesn’t give a hint what inspired this, I don’t know what does.) Your head is in the clouds and your feet are in the kiln. Your country is primarily known for its bacon. Your karate is for shit, your medicine homeopathic, your credit overdrawn, and you’ve lost your keys at the mall.
I have never asserted that snowflakes weren’t unique. I merely used the adjective to specify which subset of snowflake you personally were not a member of. I have done so in a quest to be both courteous and accurate as well as to avoid a crises of identity, and find your damning accusation that I would deny the uniqueness of certain snowflakes who shall not be mentioned (to protect their innocence,) to be totally baseless and entirely without merit, as well as in violation of Rule 42 (catch that reference, Heh, heh.)
Meanwhile, down at the outhouse, things are piling up
You cad! How did you know my credit was overdrawn? Your wife has a large Adam’s apple and drinks Brut 33. HER keys are in my pocket. Your head is in the coast guard; your feet are in your mouth and you left your heart in Sacramento.
“I have never asserted that snowflakes weren’t unique.” Indeed. Like I said, you’re the one claiming that all snowflakes are unique. The court will review said pictures taken in 1981. And this court will not consolidate these views, nor dismiss the appeal. The linesman does have the authority to stop NHL play.
In response to this cowardly attack on the location of my keys, and with the anticipated support of my Canadian brethren, I have little choice except to declare war on the United States of America on behalf of my country for your reprehensible act of aggression. For Canadian bacon as sold in the U.S. is more vile than American cheese; more vile than aerosol Jalapeno curd. The maid is in the parlour. The cows are into porn.
I invoke the Chewbacca defense. And what did I do, Scylla, to deserve this disrespect? You’ve never even had me over for coffee, even though I’m godfather to your own goat. You don’t want my friendship, you don’t offer respect, and now you come here and ask me to murder (in the hip jargon we use hereabouts) a brother Doper?
(Trumpet blares. Flag waves)
DR.PAPRIKA: That I cannot do, my friend. Although I cannot refuse any requests on my daughter’s wedding day, and I agreed to listen to you since inor tells me you’re a good man, I must refuse your request. I cannot kill a fellow Doper, however coyly you hide your true intentions. Your tai chi is for squirrels, your hovercraft is full of eels and your hair is plotting to ditch your greasy pate and join OPEC.
Exactly. “Don’t criticize what you can’t understand” - Mr. Dylan circa 1964.
Just because you’re a solidified dog turd older than my mom doesn’t mean I’m not a beautiful snowflake!
I’m joining Matt in the lavender fairy dust. Smells better over there anyway.
Kind regards, Nacho.
I’m 28. How old is your mom? Now, I mean.
Watch out where the huskies go, okay?
Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa…
I never went that far- in his narrow-minded, short-sighted, closed-off, luddite way, he never did let the goat have it’s way with him.
I just like his stuff, that’s all…
I don’t know half of ya’lls references are (some I get), and I don’t watch tv, so I could be talking out my ass here, but I’m havin the best time watchin the back and forth and suspect you are, in fact, better’n tv…
You have to turn the TV on. That makes it more exciting then this. My fellow Candian brethren all decided to go curling and than drink lots of brown soda pop. So sucks to them, I’m not going to invade the U.S> by myself in case they turn me back at customs… “And what is the purpose of your visit today, Mr_Paprika?”. And looks like Scylla has to defend himself from someone who really has something against him, so I’ve nothing more to say.
Nyaahhh. I was just pretty deeply offended by the eels in my hovercraft thing.
Not just any eels, screaming eels! I’ve had a bad case for quite some time.
Maybe if I catch the crabs they’ll eat the eels.
I’ve enver heard anyone refer to that part of their anatomy as “the hovercraft”. Obviously I only read the more boring parts of the Kama Sutra.
I refret not making this offe to Persephone in another thread and won’t allow myself to be so remiss again-
I volunteer to go catch some crabs for you and ship some nits to you…
Doc- tv- :(- I wasn’t being that generous with that compliment -if you can believe it, I’ve never seen friends, suvivor, and only know the one guy on sienfeld withthe glasses is george. 
Are thr fur trappers up there really strictly from commercial?
Dr_Paprika,
My hat is off to you. I don’t know if you consider yourself influenced by Groucho Marx, but you were just channeling his spirit a while ago.
ahem
Bob Dylan, Dylan Thomas, it was late, I was tired.
Rest assured that your favorite English major who should have known better is hanging her head in shame. Please, whatever you do, don’t tell Professor Irmscher. He’ll kick my ass.
I feel like those NASA idiots who forgot to convert to the metric system. Sheesh. :rolleyes:
Er, “No member of the SDMB shall report for duty wearing an orange wig” ?
Close. Rule 42 “All person in over a mile high must exit the courtroom.”
What book?
…and I’m seeing a little girl named Alice…
…or, in this case, a not-so-little girl named Alice, and she’s talking to the Queen of Hearts…
Dammit, that ain’t right. The King is speaking to her, quoting Rule 42.
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
I thought she was playin’ with the Queen of Hearts, and knowin’ it ain’t really smart. The Joker ain’t the only fool who do anything for… <tries to think of a rhyme that fits…fails>.um…her.
Fenris
No, I want a story from H.P. Lovecraft’s Big Book of Bedtime Stories! What are “fanged cilia”, Daddy?**

Thank you very much, jr8. I now need to clean my monitor & brew another pot of coffee.
