The Hitch chose to reside in DC,

A Godless land if ever there were one.

[SredniVashtar]

The Hitch chose to reside in DC, so I assure you, not even the lure of his renown wine cellar could draw me within 3 zip codes of that sweltering cesspool of a town.

Only kidding, anyway. I am rather envious actually, I'd have liked to have met him, although I would probably have been disappointed as we so often are when we meet people we admire. Much as I liked him, I can't'say I exactly trusted him either as he was a bit of a rascal in many ways.

[SredniVashtar]

A Godless land if ever there were was one.

Sorry, had to correct it for those who don't understand the original hayseed.

The subjunctive takes "were" not "was" my dear. You might want to brush up on the English language.

Only in certain sister-fondling parts of the South does that abortion of a sentence make sense. Language is a living, breathing thing, not dry rabbit pellets you brush out of a cage. Really, give up on this one because you sound like a real dumbass.

And don't tell me how to speak the bloody language that we invented!!

[BellBoy]

Sure thing. My secret ingredient is lots and lots of apple seeds.


(Let me save you the trouble of going to Google. Apple seeds contain trace amounts of arsenic.)

I think you'll find that they, in fact, contain trace amounts of cyanide.

Oh God, now we have to endure the insufferable limey ego, lecturing us about how they are the sole arbiters of proper English.

Damn it! You just gave Sredi ammo against me! I knew it was some type of poison.

[Inglorious Bitch]

Yes, but we speak American.

Rules, especially grammatical ones, are not there to be followed blindly but with sensitivity and a feeling for language. If you take it from a book all the time you sound like a robot. Or a Frenchman.

Ask Shakespeare.

[FightTheFuture]

Yes, but we speak American. 

Shhhhit, you dang right, girl!

[Yorkshire pud]

It could be worse; we could have the occasional yank telling us we speak British.

Or James Frey.

Didn't Alice Cooper do that one?

[Inglorious Bitch]

Haha! Don't you? How are things in Essex, by the way? 

[SredniVashtar]

Yes, but we speak American. 

Gutter English, as it is otherwise known. Ugh, how you rotten blighters ruin a beautiful thing with your vulgarity and those terrible chainsawing accents, the denizens of that vile Gehenna on the East Coast being the worst, where they all tawk funny.

[Inglorious Bitch]

Yes, thank you for reminding everyone of how Sredni derailed this thread. Back to Art.

[FightTheFuture]

I prefer a nice melodic scouser to lecture me on the finer points of the English language. But that`s just me.

[BellBoy]

Damn it! You just gave Sredi ammo against me! I knew it was some type of poison.

Didn't Alice Cooper do that one?

And then, there is also this one...



(So embarrassing, the eighties)

[FightTheFuture]

Yes, thank you for reminding everyone of how Sredni derailed this thread. Back to Art.

Art`s a great guy. I hope this little radio thing works out for him. He might make something of himself some day.

[Yorkshire pud]

Haha! Don't you? How are things in Essex, by the way? 

It's currently being sawn off the south east coast ready to be towed into the North Sea, up near Norway. The Norwegians aren't too happy about it, even though we offered to take a couple of fjords in exchange.

[WhiteCrow]

You're right, we should trust the Catholic church to teach us all about morality. Oh, when they're not buggering little boys of course. I'd rather have my head in the clouds than up my own arse.

...and there we have it folks, the narrowed thinking of a meditative enlighten elitist.

Once again the winner of the "Never being able to write a simple sentence without fucking it up" award goes to WhiteCrow.

you're so predictable SV

Is that a roundabout way of saying he's right?

I love it when you talk dirty.

[SredniVashtar]

I don't think even Turing would be equal to decrypting that bugger's effusions.

[WhiteCrow]

have fun kids.. back from Mass and painting my face Green and Gold to watch the modern "opiate of the masses" the NFL.
The moral good guys the Green Bay Packers vs the depraved Chicago Bear.

[SredniVashtar]

The moral good guy's the Green Bay Packers vs the depraved Chicago Bear.

And again! The man's an artist, in his way.

Glenn Gould was a dick, too.
