Americanist - spew shield, please. Deep fried, with sprinkles if they have them. Thanks.
<Interthreaduality alert> Would that be deep fried twinkies, moon pies, or cheescake? |

What kind of popcorn? Orville Reddenbacher or the brand that leaves 1/3 of the kernels unpopped? Loser!

Wait, a serious discussion? Call Goldstein, quick. <more interthreaduality> |

I don't play tennis, so I have no use for Dunlop or Wilson.
Which do you prefer? England Dan or John Ford Coley?

What school are you attending?
ETE you do realize that the majority of posters on this thread are Professors, don't you? And would view using your GRE scores or school attended as some sort of currency as downright pitiable. Standardized tests are a tennis match. Some people play well on standardized courts; some don't. Publication records are another type of court. |

I got a 720 verbal on the GRE, so I do okay when it comes to words. Better than 99% of the GRE test takers. There is that pesky 1%, but I usually know them when I meet them. How many online accounts do you have? What was your GRE score? SAT? What was your undergrad GPA? What school are you attending?
Well, I did pretty good in elementary school. Always above 90%. In Junior High, I started to falter a bit - you know, peer pressure and all that - but I still pulled some respectable grades out of my butt. High school was a bit of blur, I'll admit, and I didn't do as well as I should have. But once I got off the goofballs and enrolled at university, I started to pick up steam. Come on, are you SERIOUS? Pass the popcorn, please. And will someone please explain the differences between sardonic, sarcastic, ironic, and satirical? |

What's up with the tennis references?
I asked about England Dan or John Ford Coley. Now this is important.

Hell, ETE, just haul out your penis and ask for a side-by-side comparison.
Mine is ten inches. It vibrates. It is larger and more durable than 99% of the rest of the penis population. But when I meet someone who's in that other 1%, baby, I know it right away. Ironically, it looks nothing like an actual penis. VP |

Alright, serious (and- oddly- on topic) question:
Is "ironical" a word? Apparently it is, but I just don't like it. It just sounds funny to me.

Gasp. Oh God. My eyes are tearing from laughing. I don't get why ETE is yet persisting, but it's so, so funny.
Grenades vs. tennis balls. Hoot.
Oh, WP, I don't think ETE has a penis.

wow - this is a funny thread.
Has anyone else notice that we have a number of new posters that have oddly similar writing styles? Often the sentence structure and word choice reminds me of student papers where the student is using every available $10 word without truly understanding the meaning of the words. Also many of theses new posters seem to have really big chips on their virtual shoulders?
Is it just me? Am I imagining this?
What is real?
Isn't it ironic, doncha think?
Since you didn't answer the questions about your real self, you're reference to your real life was ironic. Double meaning. It looked like you meant to get to the real, concrete people and places beyond cyberspace but you didn't. |
