Him smart.
Him clever.
Except for that elvish shit, that was sad.
Actually, I think he's sold out by
changing his style to assuage the bitching.[1]

[1]Quite bein' a puss.

Scintillater.

He's witty, astute, learned and pleasant. He's not from around here, is he? I say we tar and feather him.

I wish I could say that Sixer doesn't intrigue me but between linguistics and philosophy of language...between French and Latin and Spanish...Sixer poses a bit of a conundrum. Part of me wishes to engage, but the other part of me is drunk...

Right now, the drunk part is winning.

I'm here.

I say we kill him then tattoo him.

Monkey votes don't count.

Monkey suffrage!

What do we want?
Monkey votes!
When do we want them?
Some reasonable time in the forseeable future!

DG should get Susan B. Monkey to help out w/his cause.

Yes, my friends, who speaks for the monkeys and the green, Belgian penguins among us?

Come to think of it, they seem to do a fine job of speaking for themselves. I'll just toddle off and delete some duplicate posts or something.

It's always sad to see a foreigner outfox the natives.

I was once a little grammar/syntax nazi, but then the interent became available. Email started and I began to become comfortable with colloquial speak. I'm still pissed off by dangling prepositions but just about anything else goes.

Where does it go to?

Reminds me of a 70's text mentioning,
"long, dangling participles?"

It was called "Bored of the Rings."

behind the fucking preposition...but I know you already know that...

National Lampoon, that's it. I have it
somewhere.

I knew I'd remember after I posted.

Are you prepositioning me?

I'd be glad to.
Tie your shoes.

I like linguistics, footnotes, Belgium and green penguins. The Sixer is cool.

Ahhh, yes.

Darn! Who told you you could post a photgraph of me^Wthat person?

It's a backhanded compliment¹ - I am only swerved by reasoned debate: many executives at my employer will vouch for the fact I'm a royal pain in the butt when anyone tries to deflect me using sheer coercion and arguments of power.

Besides, it wasn't much of a sale: I'm keeping the Byzantine vocabulary, the carefully wrought sentences, the Elvish signature, the right to veer off into completely unrelated subjects on almost any thread, and the footnotes², even though they're less obtrusive now.

--
¹I'm much too proud and arrogant to give straight compliments. Zeust so you understeend, Ai am almoast ei Frog.

²Elvish is only sad to people who have a life -- feh. "Je persiste et signe".

I didn't know there was a special "fucking" preposition¹ in English. Colour me puzzled.

Is it "fok"? As in:

"What is that member fok the ABG doing over here?"


--
¹Note the "e" vowel in that word. Edit: darn, greeneyes beat me to it.

Yeah -- just read your own signature .

I'm used to it, though. My schoolmates used to pick on me, and in any social setting in which most of the people haven't learned to live with my idiosyncracies, I'm usually loathed by 60% of the people and liked by 40%.

After some time spent with me, some of the 60% convert to the other side, some others pretend to have been converted because I'm a useful guy and usually helpful¹, and some of the 40% come to think that underneath all that posturing, in "steady state", I'm just plain ol' boring, which is really my own opinion.


--
¹"Sixela" is Kreeg for "repleh".

In a fit of pedantry, I would have to point out that while I'm Belgian, my little green fairy friend is an Australian that bit a Finn.

That's one of my pet peeves. Internet or not, you still have to *read* the darn messages, and sloppy writing really drives me nuts because it gives me a splitting headache and I have to read everything three times -- and still be distracted by the errors.

E-mail is no excuse for sloppiness. Not taking the time to even reread (to make sure that what you're sending makes sense) is just plainly rude.

Worse times are on the way: I have people sending me emails in SMS (Short Message Service) style these days. SMS mesages are the scourge of the earth in EuroFuckyLand.

'f ya want collookweeal, ya pickup da phone.

Apart from that, I don't think this forum suffers from sloppy writing and that I'm outfoxing anyone over here -- if it's intentional, it ain't sloppy.

Can I change my vote?

Sixer, I've been sadly beaten down by the noroms. This isn't the most intellectual city so I just smile and nod a lot.

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

And as for fucking prepositions, I guess these could be considered:

into
upon
behind
above
against
beneath
etc...

He's OK with me.

That's what I say to lesbians, "If you can't join 'em, lick em."

DG

I actually have a reprint of that around in a box somewhere. Highly amusing. ('specially since I'm addicted to LotR, have been for many years, though I drew the line at geekiness by not learning elvish or drarvish or whatever other languages they speak)

After seeing the third installment, I think I'm gonna break down and read the books. Start right from the start and do it right!

DG

Sure.

You're the mayor, and these aren't US presidential elections.

Touché. And I can't even find a parade .

Gawd, come to think of it, my normal vocabulary may just be me -- compensating for my dearth of vocabulary in an aforementioned category. Any psychanalists around?

I saw that coming and ducked.

I've seen that one before; it's not that I didn't

Nice, Abby, nice!

Despite what some may think, he's okay in my book. The 6er takes his spoonfuls of shit, and comes back for more.

Takes a lickin'?

keeps on lickin'

Ha!
Which one of the little ones is Felix?

Are those Michael Jackson Penguins?

DG

It's another e-bay scam: they're not really fairy penguins, and certainly not green.

Must be Bohemian penguins.

Sixers is OK in my book, but damn, boy, you are a bit preachy.]

You are right about SMS speak. Horrid!
