[FONT=arial]You are right, in most cases spelling is insignificant if the message still gets through. Sure its annoying to read, but I don't make a point of correcting errors without provocation. However, it becomes significant when the person making multitudes of mistakes claims that his poorly written post is finely crafted. That claim was crying out for criticism.[/FONT]

[FONT=arial]I was not about to leave on your behalf. I have quite enjoyed visiting this forum which I only discovered relatively recently. I will not get with your badly spelled program because I do not believe your point of view in this thread is right, and the accusation of me sucking is not unanimous and can not be proven. Speak for yourself when you say "we can forgive". Most people have no reason to forgive, and I do not expect forgiveness since I have made no mistake in expressing my opinion (or an opinion which I could have if I wanted). If your brain ever comes back from vacation, glark this: let us agree to disagree! I think women should be treated with respect and as equals, you (seem to) think women should be treated as sex objects.[/FONT]

Wow, thanks. I thought Rowan made glarking up. I was simply making a juvenile response. But now I grok.

Next time let your fingers do the walking. Dictionary.com is where I found those stupid, uncommon, alien words even though they sound like gibberish. I would have said that to grok fully was redundant but it seems that it's an appropriate usage according to the dictionary.

Half the english language is redundant, as there is always another way of saying something.

In fact, "grok" is a nice short, concise word, so I quite like it. My favourite word is "quixotic" which is even more uncommon than "grok".

A greater vocabulary is good, it allows for greater expression without having to fight the language.

But you forget, a proper juvenile response should always be followed up by "so ner".

So ner...

Rowan,

Dude, you suck.



-Christopher
Ya know, Christopher, when you're right, you're right; but this time, I gotta tell ya, you're absolutely correct.

In case not everyone is aware, the term "dude" means "camel penis"; therefore, Cristopher's sentence above is grammatically (in a poetic, if not conversational, sense), topically, and metaphorically correct. Since this is neither a scientific nor a judicial forum, we obviously don't need to concern ourselves with the veracity or substantiation of statements posted here.

It's Saturday night and the super heroes are having a party.
Batman, Robin, Spiderman, and the Incredible Hulk have already arrived.
Superman is especially ready to party after a hard week of saving the world. So he throws on his cape and heads off.

Along the way, he passes Wonder Woman's penthouse suite.
To his surprise, he sees through her open window that she is still at home, lying naked on her bed with her legs apart.

Feeling a bit horny, he thinks, "Hey, I'm faster than a speeding bullet! I can fly in there, have my way with her, and be gone before she knows it!"
So in an instant, Superman flies in, does the deed, and flies back out, with a great big smile on his face.


Suddenly, Wonder Woman sits up and says, "did you hear something?"


"Owww!!...," replies the Invisible Man, "No, I didn't hear a thing... but, ... Owwwww!"
What a silly Super Man!

He should have used his X-ray vision!

He should have flown to the party via Charlie's Angels' apartment!

Okay, now I'm confused. Maybe our resident scientist can clear this one up. If you use your X-ray vision on the invisible man, what do you see?

Dude!

(No, I'm not addressing you, Dave!)

That's what you could see if you used your X-ray vision on the Invisible Man (assuming that you are Superman).



I need to check my history on this one, but, I'm pretty sure that X-rays had not yet been discovered at the time H.G. Wells wrote The Invisible Man.

Everybody just hum the theme from Jeopardy! while I do a quick Google... Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo...


Quote:
—Chap. IV, ¶19 H.G. Wells
No hand—just an empty sleeve. Lord! I thought, that’s a deformity!… Then, I thought, there’s something odd in that. What the devil keeps that sleeve up and open, if there’s nothing in it? There was nothing in it, I tell you. Nothing down it, right down to the joint. I could see right down it to the elbow, and there was a glimmer of light shining through a tear of the cloth.
Oh, hell! It turns out that Wilhelm Roentgen discovered X-rays in 1895, while The Invisible Man was published in 1897, giving Wells nearly two years to hear about this mysterious radiation which had the ability to pass through many materials that absorb visible light. Yet, he didn't mention X-rays in the story, if I recall correctly. Hmmmm...

Wait a minute! Doesn't Superman also have the ability to see infrared light?

Hah! There you have it!

He knew exactly what he was doing the whole time!

Think about it...


The Invisible Man has no real superpowers beyond his invisibility, but Wonder Woman could easily wreak revenge on Superman with a bit of Kryptonite in that olive in his martini at the party.

No way Superman's going to risk raping Wonder Woman.
I mean, Wonder Woman and Lois Lane are sorority sisters! The Invisible Man is easy prey, though.

So, there you have it... Superman wasn't lured into Wonder Woman's penthouse by the sight of Wonder Woman, but by the infrared vision of the Invisible Man's booty!

Which brings us to the next question...

Is Superman more likely to be tempted by Charlie's Angels, or by Sean, Roger, and Pierce?

Or the Three Tenors?

Think about this. If you were the invisible man, women would want to go out with you for who you are, not what you look like.

AWSOME!

You are both totally wrong. Dude does not mean what Rick said, it means someone who is concerned about dress and appearance, and if you knew me you would know how far that is from the truth. Sendhair is furious because I replied to his thread in Spam, and that is why he is agreeing with you Christopher, and trying to add a false meaning to the word Dude. This is Sendhairs feeble attempt to start a rumour about me hence his claim for the lack of veracity (truth). At least you are willing to admit you are lying Rick. So Rick, do you want to tell us why Sendfairy wanted so badly to tell us something about you? I believe there was some truth in what Sendfairy said, judging by your reaction.

A word is defined by its CONTEXT! Duh-huh!

"Dude, You suck" Translates to "Man, you suck" or "Buddy, You suck" Or even "Fellow, you suck"

you ALL know that and yet you perpetuate pointless arguments, why?

[FONT=times new roman] Oh!
Too true! Too true!
Isn't it interesting how this idea can work both ways?
It can take on a life of its own which just lends itself soooo well to decoration and embellishment... (my forte, as you may know!).

"Somebody" has really forgotten how to be a good guest here!

It's quite obvious that if sendhair wanted to start a rumor about "somebody" from New Zealand, he'd tell a joke involving sheep.

Oh, dear! Did I say "rumor"?

But I do have a lovely recipe for mint jelly that is simply maaaavelous with braised lamb medallions!




By the way, I just happened to have this in my library, and the glossary is quite interesting!

[FONT=arial]You missed out on the context of this arguement which occured in private messages, and I doubt sendhair would be so unoriginal. Sure he types stupid things and is easily upset, but that does not mean he will be as boring and predictable as you might think. The fly icon on his Avatar is a good depiction of sendhair (someone who eats poo) in my opinion.[/FONT]
