TTN: Ernest

You should go to askandy and look at marc_au's thread about baseball caps.

He feels much more strongly about them than you do about brown hugo boss shoes and suits, if you'd believe it.

Jon:

If you don't want to be censored, then leave the objectionable language out.

You've been warned...

Repeatedly...

'line how is will thread out.'
What? I'm not like an FCC bureaucrat; ad hominem attacks are no basis for a valid counterargument. I simply criticized the subject matter directly, not its posters directly, whereas you on the other hand... Jon.
"how it will thread out" -- is what I meant to type. I may be the first to use "thread" in this sense as a verb. You didn't put forth an argument, really. You didn't even criticize the subject matter directly, as you assert. So to "counter" your argument or lack thereof isn't a concern; and as for ad hominem attacks, they aren't in and of themselves an invalid form of argument. But since you weren't really arguing anything, but rather just carping: if I were to have made one, it would have been entirely appropriate here. Before you throw around a phrase, learn what it means and how to use it. (And no, reading some tutorial on the internet doesn't count, nor does the misuse of the term by lawyerly example). Two things more things: first, we know you're not an FCC bureacrat. Strictly speaking, I didn't call you one. I employed a simile. Second, I'm not going to hold you by the hand and take you through Quintillian, but your original post is an "ad homines" argument. I say enough is enough when it comes to misusing Latin.

I've never seen black odd trousers on anyone (with a shred of style sense) but waiters.

Wow. Okay. Guess I'll go home and throw my black trousers away. I hate it when my entire world gets turned upside down like this.

As an aside, this entire thread reminds me of an old SNL skit with Chevy Chase and Richard Prior. Chase is interviewing Prior for a job, and decides to play "word association." This begins like "hot - cold", "day - night", etc., and then Chase says "Black", to which Prior responds "White". This escalates with various racial epithets until Chase has Prior screaming "h****y, h****y.". Chase then uses the "n" word, to which Prior responds "DEAD h****y." Probably not too funny in print, but worth seeing.

You really must read your posts and my responses because they don't hold water. A perfect example is: I said "I'm not like an FCC bureaucrat" to which you responded "first, we know you're not an FCC bureacrat. Strictly speaking, I didn't call you one. I employed a simile." Your response towards my statement in which I said I am not "˜LIKE' an FCC bureaucrat was that you employed a simile, which states that I wrote that I was like an FCC bureaucrat, which is not what I wrote. Jon.

I can just imagine Ernest in a partisan restaurant across from a man wearing brown saying: "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you." I been sayin' that s**t for years. And if you ever heard it, it meant your a**. I never really questioned what it meant. I thought it was just a cold-blooded thing to say to a m***r before you popped a cap in his a**. But I saw some s**t this mornin' made me think twice. Now I'm thinkin': it could mean you're the evil man. And I'm the righteous man. And Mr. .45 here, he's the shepherd protecting my righteous a** in the valley of darkness. Or it could be you're the righteous man and I'm the shepherd and it's the world that's evil and selfish. I'd like that. But that s**t ain't the truth. The truth is you're the weak. And I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin, Ringo. I'm tryin' real hard to be the shepherd. But, in French. Jon.

Car il est vraiment le gardien de son frere et le trouveur de l'enfant perdu. Et je te frapperai en vengeance grande et furieuse, toi qui tentent d'empoisonner et de detruire mes freres.

Or ce bordel ce matin m'a fait reflechir. Ce pourrait etre toi qui es le mechant. Et moi qui suis l'homme juste. Et voici M. .45 qui pourrait etre le berger qui protege mon cul de juste dans le val de l'ombre. Ou ce pourrait etre toi l'homme juste et moi le berger et c'est le monde qui est mechant et egoiste. J'aimerais bien ca. Mais ce sont des conneries. La verite, c'est que c'est toi le faible. Et moi je suis la tyrannie des mechants. Or j'essaie, Rigno. J'essaie de mon mieux d'etre le berger.
