Guest Pizza Hut's Game Face Report post Posted November 26, 2007 I should use "got sold" in lieu of "bought," and see how that works. I got sold a car. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black Lushus 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2007 wouldn't that mean you were the one doing the selling of the vehicle to another person? fucking brits... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Pizza Hut's Game Face Report post Posted November 26, 2007 No, that'd be "I sold a car." "Got sold" means "it was sold to me," a.k.a. "bought." Though semantically, there's something sort of defensive about this use of "got sold." "I got sold fake weed" makes it sound like the buyer was duped. "I bought fake weed" makes the buyer sound like an idiot. The lesson here is that you probably shouldn't bother buying weed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Pizza Hut's Game Face Report post Posted November 28, 2007 My neighbor grew pot in his treehouse, which probably wasn't smart, because somebody ended up going in his backyard, climbing up the tree, and stealing all of it. I guess this was a pretty big deal, if you pardon the expression, because this guy's distributor (how many tiers are there in small-town teenage drug dealing, by the way? I'm not clear on how the system works, because I didn't want to ask my friend about it, as he probably suspected I would turn him in, based on the time we were at an Odyssey of the Mind tournament in Beloit two years prior and I remarked "that's not a bad way to make $50" when I saw a sign about turning in dealers) found out, got really pissed, and somehow worked to track this guy down using evaporated super glue to find fingerprints, if I recall.

Guest My Pal, the Tortoise Report post Posted December 4, 2007 We've gone three weeks without an installment of Danny Maff's Nitro Party. I think next week should be the grand reopening. Let's get as many people back as we can, and we'll talk about stupid shit and then sexually harass young girls. Good times, good times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kinetic 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2007 Things have been a little slow around here lately, so I've been working on some thread ideas to spice things up a little. Okay, check this one out: A thread dedicated to the best ever TSM threads from the month of October. I'd call it "The Hunt for Thread October." We could list our favorites, discuss various long-forgotten posters, and so on. Then we could come up with puns for other months and that's like 12 new threads right there. What do you think?
