RANT: The Clone Wars

[PeterGibbons316]

Do people still say "pwn"

"people" never said it, it was always prepubescent kids playing online video games - and no, they don't even say it anymore.

[kvk1]

Except Simpsons pwns the sht out of Seinfeld.

Do people still say "pwn" or is that so 2007?

1) Questionable.
2) No. Unless you're stupid or Charles.

Thank you Commander Semantics.

You know exactly what I meant and it's quite obvious this is a single issue discussion for you.

Keep driving that rhetoric you've been pumping out for the past 2-3 months. You have done/are doing unbelievable damage to your long term position.

Say what you mean, mean what you say.

Or, if you would like, I can assume to know what you really mean and just go on that?

Again, I know you have a great deal of trouble with this concept, but words have meanings, and they matter.

It was used in the Rant ironically/facetiously for quite some time and before you arrived. Thanks.

You distract from conversations by parsing words and playing "gotcha."

You will become a more effective debater when you stop doing that.

First 10 seasons maybe. Last 14... no.

[Farley1324]

You can't regulate good behavior, but thats' the challenge the church and government always try to tackle. It becomes a simple "what can I get away with" mind-set. I much prefere the greek philosophy of arete that was a deep part of their culture. It was such a great thing that it took centuries of degeneration to end it. The modern world is not as durable. It will only take 2-3 generations to end the greatness accomplished in america from 1850-1950.

That will never stop the government from attempting to legislate away unwanted behavior.

I still don't understand where plox came from.

One day Lencho started saying it...then everybody started saying it.

We are not a democracy. We are a Republic. We have a Constitution, and we have certain self evident inalienable Rights, and Liberties.

To pretend that we are a democracy, and that the majority vote rules, is to deny the very facts of the matter, and deny that our country is what it is.

That was pretty much it. Lencho was quite the trendsetter in his day.

Holy fck dude.

We all knew what he meant. You don't win any points battering him over semantics in a casual conversation in a silly thread on an even sillier Internet message board.

[ThickAsABrick]

Are you steering this toward guns?

I mean, like, in another 3-4 posts it will clearly be about guns.

lol

IIR, he corrupted "thx" into "thox," and then "plox" became the next logical corruption. At one point he took it to the extreme* and had in his sig that he could be emailed at "lenchox@bodybuildix.cox."



*but not as extreme as Farley's need to argue about every single trivial semantical point instead of focusing on the larger issue

Loquacious Lencho's Lexicon of Lulz.

LLLL.

I'll be here all week.

Don't get so emotional over such silliness.

[ThickAsABrick]

Your ability to pull out FG/Simpsons quote relevant to the discussion of thin-air is as equally sad as me doing the same thing with Seinfeld.

Not a sermon, just a thought.

Incorrect. The shows I reference don't suck.

Peace.

My cracka.

Pwn is 2007? Gamers used it back years before that. Kind of like 1337.

[kvk1]

I can sympathize with the most extreme of opinions.

But I honestly can't comprehend how somebody can't at least appreciate Seinfeld.

The amount of stories and jokes they wove into a single 22 minute program...still hasn't been rivaled to this day.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You're crazy as tits, man.

God love ya, but you're bonkers.

A proper list must be comprised of at least 3 points.

Chairs.

[chazzy1864]

Noone talks about the batteries or mercury filled light bulbs. Of course, you're supposed to recycle these things. How many do? It's an alarmingly low %.

I think it was you that made mention that the plastic packaging for the CFL light bulbs causes more pollution than the light bulbs the CFLs are replacing.

1) Questionable.
2) No. Unless you're stupid or Charles.

How TF did I get dragged into using pwn? At most I use it ironically. I can't recall if I have used it in any fashion in years.

Plox, thox, Vox.

I wouldn't know.

Cheerio.

I don't have anything against Seinfeld.

[ThickAsABrick]

I might have to put Animal House on my previous list of films. At least in the honorable mention portion.

[VoxExMachina]

I don't understand how anyone can be so careless, inconsiderate and self-important enough to just casually throw their garbage all over the place.

I wish there were stricter penalties for littering here. Like severance of a limb, or perhaps even death. The fact that someone would litter in the first place tells me all I need to know about them. They have no place in a civilized society. Thank you and God bless.

I was in Bryce Canyon National Park number of years ago, and was following behind a group of Japanese tourists. Of course, they're snapping photographs (actual 35mm ones) as if film was going out of style. One guy unwraps a new roll of film and just tosses the foil wrapper right down in the middle of the trail. After an actual bertstare, I casually picked it up and handed it back to him with a few choice words which may or may not have included threats of bodily injury and/or calls to the INS.

I'm not completely sure he understood the exact words, but he was careful to shove his trash in his pockets from then on. I tailed him back to the visitor center like a Spetznaz operative (for the lulz).

You should have withdrawn one of the six firearms you were carrying on your person and just wasted the guy out on the trail.

Vox is an old school type of guy.




























He'd at least have challenged him to a duel.

Vox is clearly a pretender.
