DC Tom Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I assume that those (would they be considered malapropisms?) all occurred on this board during my 12-ish-or-so-year-absence?

I would love to see the original posts and contexts in which they were used. The ones I used all occurred I believe in the Shoutbox within the last two years by one named Donald Duck, aka dog14787 aka Fig Newton. He's known for having conversations with himself (like 18 consecutive posts) and getting his panties in a ringer over perceived insults and threatening to report people to mods who he sucks up to. He's usually high on weed per his own omission and makes all kinds of ridiculous "pronouncements". You'll have to look out for his posts in the Shoutbox, there will be more of these guaranteed.

Jauronimo Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 how bout everyone due a scientifically validated personality test instead? http://www.16persona...ntj-personality. nah, that'd be too logical.

4merper4mer Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 I had to read this twice, the first time I tried the silent tears streaming down my face blurred the words and blunted my concentration. I hadn't held out much hope for this thread mainly because I assumed it would be tongue-and-cheek but you've rocked my psychological state by being spot on in your assessment. A much smarter man than me once said that when a fool hears the truth he laughs. Well, I didn't laugh when I read the truth so I guess I'm not a fool -- but I did cry, which might be worse. This is a big week for me professionally, lots on the line and it's all up to me to close the deal, so your timing is a blessing. Self esteem and confidence are what I need to improve, clearly, and even before your thread I've been working on improving. Naturally I reached out to the only beacon of hope there is for folks like me: Oprah's "11 Ways to Boost Your Self-Esteem in under an Hour" http://www.oprah.com...t-Self-Esteem/1 The tips include: good posture (check!), practicing good scents (I showered, so check), carrying good-luck charms (I carry a whole rabbit in my pocket at all times), nod along with the speaker, flirt during negotiations (this backfired on me last time I tried it but am willing to try again), get pumped by shaking your body (I do that in private...), practice your "power pose" for two minutes (I'm working on poses, but could use suggestions for better ones), meditate (check!), drink coffee (double check), exercise (this is starting to sound like more than an hour's worth of work...), and finally assemble a toolbox. I'm not sure what the last one has to do with anything but you're the mental health expert so perhaps you could tell me. Hey listen I didn't know where to put this link and I thought this might be a good place. Knowing about your show, and this being a big week and you having an older black guy as the lead, and knowing it isn't C Thom, made me think a bunch of stuff might be going down. Then I see an article and I am guessing this is either your pilot or a publicity stunt. If it is the pilot I think it is good but risky. An opening scene like that sets the bar high. But maybe you are going to have them feed the Viagra to their hamster for a plot twist and it will make him talk. I can see you taking a little poetic license there, but be careful. If this is a publicity stunt you can cancel your meetings and demand 5X the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4merper4mer Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 This post shows a desire to be believed. A few posts earlier, the poster wanted to state "facts" authoritatively or at least strongly imply results and not be called out on it. When called, the poster quickly and harshly fought back, albeit against things that were never said. Notice he says I never asked YOU to do it. He uses capital letters to emphasize his point. You know why? Because he knows his point is invalid and he is hoping a loud argument will rile up the other party and start an irrational argument, which is the only type he could even hope to win. The other poster in this thread happened to be me, but that is beside the point. The point that was made that was pot advocates always want someone else to do the work and I pointed that out. He argues back by stating he never asked ME to so the work. i never made that claim. I just knew he didn't want to do it. See what he did there? Don't fall for stuff like that. He quickly moves to claims that I am making false assumptions, which was untrue. Notice he never fully denies those assumptions but dances around. Next up, he displays poor comprehension skills regarding my post. This may be an attempt to veer away from the real discussion or he might just be too stoned to read and understand. It is hard to tell. Finally he attempts to give out a massive homework assignment, this time directly to me. If someone does this to you, do not, I repeat do not, go about doing all the research demanded. Your antagonist will merely try to poke little holes in your argument rather than concentrating on an overall assessment of the real issue. Either ignore it or just make up some crap depending on the identity of the arguer. I know this sounds like a typical pot head thing with the inability to concentrate and all but it really could happen along the lines of any topic. Be careful.

Deranged Rhino Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Been busy preparing so I'm catching back up a post at a time... (snipped for space) Here's the deal: You do good work. If you get this, great. If not, it won't change the fact that you do good work. That knowledge should let you be yourself. P.S. C. Thom is in a crappy mood. What the heck did you do? First off, your sage advice is much appreciated. I was thinking about going into this thing dressed as someone else to throw a little pizzazz into the mix. I dunno, I've been watching too much Tootsie I guess, anyway your post slapped the sense back into me so thank you! As for C. Thom, it's not good. Frankly, it's a little embarrassing to talk about but he had some rather unusual riders in his contract, requests that are best left unsaid even in the PG-13 rated PPP forums. One of his requests was for a gerbil though, so maybe if Sammy knows any gerbils he can help out? Normally you have much more self of steam than this. I mean much more. Now normally I wouldn't lamb baste you over this, but you've got to roll up your sleeves and find the wear with all to overcome it, otherwise life for you will become mute. :lol: Hey listen I didn't know where to put this link and I thought this might be a good place.

If this is a publicity stunt you can cancel your meetings and demand 5X the money. It started as a publicity stunt, it did. I have no choice but to admit that despite my lawyer's advice. Sadly, the actors I chose went rouge, that's what I get for leaning on improv comics from the open mic night at the He-Haw-Shack. Last I heard they were Thelma & Louising it across border.

Good advice, it's amazing how much this kind of thing happens in these meetings. Executives, in general, are always trying to poke holes in my story when they're not trying to get me high or telling me about something called a "casting couch". It doesn't really look like a fisherman's couch, it looks like any other couch, so I'm not sure why they keep pointing it out in every office I go into.

If you look closely that couch is likely stained. The stains are from iron juice because, a casting couch is what iron workers used to use when they got tired but had to keep working. In WW1 & 2 they became famous because the iron working men and women worked long shifts and had to sit but keep working.

4merper4mer Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 Link The link above is not terribly difficult to decipher but I will do it because it may help Geno. I like Geno in general. It may be because I lost my favorite uncle Geno back in October of 81 and I still miss him. I had heard the ambulance screaming right down Main Street but I didn't even give it a thought. I'd be lying if I said there isn't any residual guilt. Anyway, I like this Geno too even without that connection. Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions. Ideas must be distinct before reason can act upon them. Not so my friend. Ridicule is actually being used as a weapon to beat back your own feelings telling you the big man is real. You are mad that he made you bald but you will get over that one day. Let go of the ridicule of people who believe in the big man. Believers themselves are not always geniuses. Ridicule them if you must, but do not ridicule their belief in general. If you do, you position yourself and other atheists as some sort of set of uber geniuses. This notion is easily disproven. If you were so smart you would have given yourself hair by now for example. Amiright? If you must still look down upon people with different beliefs while you are in this transition, do so not with ridicule, just ignore them. I guess that could be considered a weapon but I am non-violent so whatever. Reason has recently acted against unintelligible propositions on this very board, albeit OTW. Take a look at the Tony Stewart thread. Mr. WEO, our resident Patriots fan and apologist, and Joe the Sandusky arguer vehemently that Tony Stewart is guilty, he doesn't care about that guy dying, blah blah blah. It is unintelligible as can possibly be. Well, tied with some of Joe's other stuff I guess. Anyway, the people in that thread are very much using logic and reason to successfully battle them.

4merper4mer Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 This reply apparently comes from someone who means to say "I'm not sure". The original question in that thread asked the responders simply how sure they were a particular set of events would happen.....2 questions. If not sure at all the answers would have been 0% and 0%. There were pretty clear instructions, or so I thought. The reply indicates Keuka is either unable to read properly, is just trying to be a jerk, is trying to look like he is above it all and wise, or the OP didn't phrase the question clearly. I have my guess at this point but we'll have to wait a while to see how this all plays out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4merper4mer Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 (edited) Sounds like someone's jealous about their thunder being stolen. I get paid a lot more for my thunder than either of you can afford. And it can't be stolen. Anyway, when it comes to Greggy it is clear you aren't just fantasizing about football. For the record, I tried to get a room at a really classy place. But Rob never showed up, he just left me alone and crying into my mini-bar. And you had to settle for Julie Newmar on YouTube right? Listen I may be able to help and it can even be part time work for you. This has to stay secret for lots of reasons: I have client code named Nulie Jewmar who is a bit long in the tooth and a bit saggy in other areas but has an illustrious past. A certain moron in my employ who likes round beverages has anti-semantical tendencies when it comes to his job and still doesn't get the nuances of the code naming conventions. In his defense, the codes are pretty complex. Anyway, I think if you had a tryst with Nulie it could rid you of some of your demons...just trust me on this. I would suggest Tuesdays when she is paired with code name Hann Nathaway. It could be sort of a days of future past kind of thing for you. I would avoid Thursdays as they are a rotating mix of horrific alternatives. Solo Saturday is also an option if you are willing to simply watch. PM me if you're interested. You'd have to take minimal pay to start but this is as much for you as it is for Nulie. Edited November 6, 2014 by 4merper4mer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
