That was weak, were your fingers trembling in anger as you were trying to come up with something witty?

Saying Grandholm is stupid is like saying it's a bit chilly in Antartica.

Well, I realize it wasn't as eloquent and refined as "you're an idiot" but it was the best I could do on short notice.

Hey SGT,

It's not chilly in Antartica, global warming is taking care of that.

Don't forget that "your an idiot" is not actually his line. It's House's. So he is just a copycat.

Yep. Isn't it interesting how certain political leanings and independent thought don't seem to go together?

Other peoples money, other peoples words. But in his defense he did have to choose to use that line in the right context.

So what are you saying exactly, you seem to have an inability to type more than a single sentence, give a try.

Don't you find that using a single, grammatically incorrect sentence to chastise somebody for using only one sentence is a bit ironic? The "What are you saying" part asks a question and should be punctuated with a question mark (?). The "you" should be capitalized to start a second sentence. Now let's discuss the "give a try" part. Did you mean"give it a try"?

Gooshin, you seem to be a troubled soul, perhaps with much to be troubled about.
I wish you well.

Anyone else notice a recent spike higher power allusion on the forums?

Seriously now.

As for grammatically incorrect single sentences, you missed the point entirely.

You blurt out something stupid, with zero support for any sort of argument (if there even was one). Then, when you are asked to explain yourself, you turtle again, and blurt out more one liners that only hint at what you are trying to say, forcing the reader to assume.... and we all know where assumptions on the internet lead to.

So, how about you either start putting in effort explaining what it is you have to say, or shut your mouth and dont say anything at all.

I really don't know what you are talking about. So here is the classic bunny with a pancake on its head.



If if were able to afford a Vette, it would be a late 50s one anyway.

I'll accept that response.

Pancake bunny is always an appropriate rejoinder.

edit: my dad briefly owned a '67 Stingray convertible and oh my god, no car has ever thrown me back into the seat like that one. <3

I keep thinking about buying a Vette, and brought it up to my wife the other day. She pointed out that the garage is full and I rejoined that her car could go. That didn't work - guess I'll have to think again (anybody got a remedy for a dented head?).
