Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted April 27, 2005 Tumbleweeds once attacked my car on the orad to Vegas, around Barstow I think, or maybe it was outside of my hometown in these mountain passes. I don't know, but it was rather horrifying. Also, IDRM's use of "you filthy whore" marks the first time in a little while I burst out laughing at something on TSM.

Guest CronoT Report post Posted April 28, 2005 I know I've got nothing to do with this thread, but I just saw this on Crono's board: Dear sir, This is unbelievable. "Crono," you are 25 years old. An adult, in essentially every culture on Earth. Someone who should be capable of ignoring a teenager bothering you. Someone who really ought to be mature enough to step back and be the bigger man in this situation. But instead, you've taken the childish route. Not only are you clogging up TSM with your petty whining, but now you've taken the time and effort to create an entirely new board to vent your frustrations and feelings of inadequacy. No doubt, this time could have been better spent on something else -- say, achieving the more challenging end scenes in the game which you've based your internet identity off of. You really ought to be ashamed to be breathing the same air as the rest of us. At this point, allow me to speak for the rest of your board, the other board, and humanity. It is no longer enough for you to simply stop posting; only upon your removal from the mortal coil will we be content. Furthermore, in light of all the horrible stupidity you've belched forth using yuor computer, it seems only fair that it should play a role in your mandatory suicide. My recommendation would be that you run a nice, calming bath and drop your computer into the tub, but I leave that up to you. No doubt you'll come up with something clever, possibly drawing upon some sort of "tech" or magic spell in an ironic twist. Whichever route you choose, I beg that you carry this action out in a timely manner, both for the good of yourself and the community at large. To sum, die, you fucking moron. With all my love, and all my heart, The Man in White Cheers to whoever wrote this. He has been IP permabanned for multiple death threats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't see any death threats in there, Crono. only upon your removal from the mortal coil will we be content. That seems suspect, except he clearly states after this that he's asking for your suicide. Furthermore, in light of all the horrible stupidity you've belched forth using yuor computer, it seems only fair that it should play a role in your mandatory suicide. Nowhere in his post did he threaten to do anything to you, or tell anyone to do anything to you, or indicate that he paid someone to do anything to you. No threats of killing or murder - he clearly wants you to do this yourself. How is this a death threat? Edited April 28, 2005 by chirs3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted April 29, 2005 "My mom can beat up your mom." I believe this statement to be the single most immature phrase in the English Language. Let us examine every aspect and dimension that this statement holds. 1. Wording, "My mom" A mature and well-spoken individual would likely choose the word, "mother" over the word "mom". This is because "Mom" is more akin to a proper noun (it is, in fact, a title), than a common noun. "Mother" is more akin to a common noun, and does in fact describe a specific relationship. We can present this as an indication of immaturity as it displays a lesser (though acceptable) extent of consideration when choosing words. 2. Wording, "Beat up" In a more sophisticated context, something that is "beat up" is akin to something that has taken a great deal of wear and tear due to being treated roughly. It is also a very weak term for the action being described. A slightly more mature person would be likely to emphasize the end result of the "beating" by altering the phrase with a curse. Example, "beat the hell out of," or a bit more of an extreme, "beat the f**k out of." 3. Repetition, "Mom" Though nearly unavoidable in this particular sentence, the repeated use of the word "mom" causes the tongue to stumble, so to speak. This is why a writer generally tries to avoid rapid succession of the same word, especially in the same sentence. To avoid repetition, it would perhaps be more correct to say, "My mom can beat up yours." 4. Measure of Superiority, "Beat up" This claim is built around the assumption that the ultimate measure of superiority in the world is in combat prowess. It does not take into account, income, personal standards, wisdom, mental strength, or varied skills and abilities, nor does it consider how applicable the ability in question is to the real world. As far as this statement is concerned, the ability to fight better is the exclusive mark of superiority. 5. Object of Faith, "Mom" The speaker has concluded that his mother is the most powerful being in the universe he knows. He has not yet stopped to consider his father, firemen, policemen, super heroes, and so on. This suggests that there are still a great many emotional attachments focused maternally, indicating that his mother is still among those that he encounters most in his everyday life. Mother is still the person that feeds, nurtures and protects this individual. 6. Implication, Superiority The real claim being made here is that the speaker is somehow superior to the listener because his mother has the greater capacity for informal hand-to-hand combat. It is furthermore the glorification of his Object of Faith, and an attempt to persuade the listener to place his faith in the speaker's mother, rather than his own. The speaker wants more followers to join that which he follows. 7. Purpose, Aggression While many do indeed have a desire to prove their superiority, most have a very specific reason for this, such as trying to impress their boss and get a raise. This phrase, however, exists as an aggressive statement used in a desperate attempt to gain respect. It is presented as a Trump card. Conclusion "My mom can beat up your mom," therefore has at least 7 points of immaturity, contained within a total of 7 words, only 6 of which are unique. Even through the use of phonetic mutation and simple structure, it would be difficult to gain so many examples of immaturity in so few words. Therefore, this must surely be the single most immature individual phrase in the English language. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
