TurnipCruncher Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 We have to put up with this ALL THE TIME. Kingzog only has to raise a proverbial eyebrow and NoR becomes crippled with doubt and indecision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crownguard Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 I just made an old person joke and everyone gets all into a tizzy with grammar and the like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlmightyHero Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 Sarcasm only works when it's backed by being right in the first place. Then you have tremendous leeway in which to display your contempt for another person, in particular their inability to grasp that which is the most obvious. Here, let me help you. You are correct that I am wise. In fact, I am so wise that I'm going to give you a lesson in English comprehension. Please sit and make yourself comfortable. Are you sitting comfortably? Then we'll begin. The truism I alluded to was 'the pot calling the kettle black'. It's a fancy way of employing the tu quoque defense, which amounts to, "Hey, buddy, you're just as bad as I am." "You're just as bad as I am...." Hmmm....well, a thinking person may have concluded from that statement that, looking at the broader picture of alliances generally, I may have been saying that we're all in that state. In the past year, you have absorbed the moribund International along with DoD. Nordreich took in TTE. Pot. Kettle. Black. Oh, wait, I see the faint stirrings of comprehension there. I think you're getting it now. No, don't feel ashamed. We all make these kinds of mistakes from time to time. It's OK. You're only human, you know. I understand that words are hard, and that understanding them is difficult, especially when one's lack of comprehension has caused one's feewings to be hurt. It creates a near-impenetrable wall of ignorance, through which only the brightest lights may shine. But that's why I'm here. I'm here to be your light. To help you to overcome your knee-jerk reaction to thoughts you do not understand. To hold you while you cry things out. See? That is how sarcasm is done. Thanks. Can I look forward to more of this in a blog of some sort? I need words of wisdom from kingzog in my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackie Moon Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 I get the pot/kettle thing, so we can skip right to chapter 4. Who in the hell is TTE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackie Moon Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Ok... So it was more like "the ceramic plate calling the K1000HS Hybrid Fire Freestanding Grill with Side Burner" black? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
