- In article <54618@mentor.cc.purdue.edu> you write:
- >Thou who speaks for everyone will tell us who we will vote for in '92?
-
- you mean you're over 18?
-
- >>find a dictionary...
- >>look up the word "iconoclastic."
- >Have someone read some Vonnegut to you, maybe you'll get the reference.
-
- I've read just about the complete works
- and don't remember anything unusual
- about the word iconoclastic. I'll give
- you the benefit of the doubt, however,
- and assume that he does actually use
- the word in some original and exciting
- way. quelle dommage that you too are
- not original and exciting and that you
- can only dream of being so, while aping
- your betters.
-
- >>find a manual of style...
- >>read what it has to say about
- >>needlessly archaic language.
- >I maybe be trying to communicate with someone whose mind is still in the
- >ages when a person like you could force a person like me to do anything.
- >Thus Cannanite style sounded right (of course you couldn't read the original
- >so I defaulted to King James.)
-
- yes, you certainly "maybe be"
- on the other hand, you maybe be a phony,
- pretentious drip.
- whichever, perhaps you could define
- exactly what you mean by "the Cannanite
- (sic) style."
-
- >> but recently the
- >>amount of noise has grown absolutely
- >>intolerable,
- >Well, turn your Miracle Ear down and you won't notice.
-
- this is the best you can come up with?
- insinuating deafness (clearly not a
- personal defect) and illiteracy (clearly
- inaccurate)?
- you really are quite hopeless.
-
- >>and it's time to ask
- >>some of the deadweight to leave.
- >Lead us to the door, go through it, and show us that it works.
-
- I've been considering doing just that.
- This group has really been getting
- hopeless, and I simply haven't had the
- time or creativity lately to come up
- with anything worthwhile either.
- On the other hand, if I leave, I'll no
- longer have the thrill of insulting
- oafs (oaves?) like you.
-
- >>leave, deadweight.
- >Are you still playing with yourself in the shower?
-
- at the moment, no.
- and your posts, I'm sorry to say, are
- hardly inspiring.
- Gooley, richh, legare, nj, cj, bc, mjd,
- and even abbott (from time to time)...
- they can all whip me into an erotic
- frenzy with just a few witty lines. I
- replay their posts in my head, and then
- replay them again, rubbing my soap-slick
- thighs 'til I'm frantic with lust and
- envy at their wit, their insight, their
- raw bizarreness.
-
- you, however, can only read about it.
-
- say something intelligent, little boy.
- say something original.
- say something that'll make me hot and
- sticky and goose-pimply all over.
-
- or go away.
