So..Follow

I went to the library with Flea today.

I browsed around the five jillion books, tried to remember names of authors recommended here(to no avail) then browsed the fiction area.

Here is what I walked away with, these are books I picked first by what ever title sounded interesting, then I weeded them more thoroughly by reading about the author, then even more thoroughly by reading the introductions and/or prefaces.

First one I decided I'd take home was "The Master and Margarita" by Mikhail Bulgakov. I was a little apprehensive about this book because I'm partly a believer of the "to translate is treason" kind of thought. I know some of the meaning will be lost, but that is just something I'll have to put with, seeing as how I don't speak or read Russian.

Next was "The Catsitters" by James Wolcott. I don't know, looks interesting.

Then while waiting for Fleas glasses to be done at the lens crafters or what ever store it was in the mall, I browsed around the book store and spent a whopping 5 dollars on (blow out all of your air, trust me) "A Tale of Two Cities" by Charles ********

Done gasping? Good. Shock you as it may, I've never read this book, looks interesting.

Anyhow, mock and scorn and suggest and praise as you see fit, these are the books I'll be reading for awhile.

It being quite awhile since I finished Eragon, I picked up a "Hearthbreaking Work of Staggering Genius" today and got my read on. I've been carrying it around with me for awhile now, knowing that I want to read it, but obligated to save Ivalice from Mewt.

Cool. I felt good about that book choice, I think I'll enjoy it.

Ouch!

Heheh.

Better to be one of those ludicrous posters who walks around saying they've read Garvity's Rainbow and Finnigan's Wake but you shouldn't 'cause you wouldn't "get it" like they did.

If Smash were to revert to his old 'I'm smarter than you' signature, and consider adding the phrase 'and I'm a liberal' to the end of it, he would never have to post anything ever again. Anything else would be entirely redundant.

Of course, the down side is that we wouldn't have 3 or 4 new posts about the war in Iraq every day- that topic certainly never gets old.

Smash makes me laugh

Take comfort in knowing that he never read it either. Or any of the other books he listed.

He likes to chock up his incredibly sh[/i]itty grammar and spelling to dyslexia. I call bulls[i]hit (again).

%99 of dyslexics don't put the percentage sign after a number.

Dyslexic's dont misuse apostrophe's four time's in a single sentence.

Dyslexics typically don't butcher simple words like 'allways', or if they do, they would usaully mangle the word by transposing a letter or two.

Dyslexics aren't dum, they don't spontaneously forget to add required letters to words. They are much more likely to, say, use the letter 'P', where the number '9' should be- an upside down mirror image.

All of the things I've mentioned are inconsistent with Smash's claim he's dyslexic.

In Smash's defense, after doing a little research on the subject, I was able to find ONE symptom of dyslexia which Smash exhibits...



Smash does this. But so do retards, so I would hardly call this conclusive.

What, you ask, is my point? Well, I'll tell ya.

I don't believe Smash is dyslexic. He doesn't exhibit any signs of dyslexia. I don't believe he's read any (or, at least not most) of the books he mentioned. Some people drop names, Smash likes to drop anything he thinks will impress you. Even if that means spending a minute or two of Googling.

If he's not dyslexic, and actually was as well read as he claims to be, it seems to me he'd be capable of stringing together a complete sentence without making elementary school teachers tremble so violently with fear their bowels begin shaking themselves apart until their genitals erupt with geyser-like force, spraying the interior walls with a messy concoction of blood and urine.

No, when I read Smash's work I can distinctly hear the faint echo of his radio at work. The one he listens to while he flips burgers under that pair of big golden arches.

My apologies, I stand corrected.

Incase I came across as perturbed, I feel I should clear some things up.

I'm not upset in the least, in fact, I'm quite flattered. Knowing that Smash went out of his way to be an *** to me in one of my threads, just shows I'm doing my job well. Same thing with Mrens making a sock puppet to rate me down, nothing could make me feel more threatening and... Venerable.

Viva la d1ck and fart!!

Amazing how you learned so much about dyslexia by using Google.

Learned enough to conclude that I'm not dyslexic and that I merely use Google to try to pass myself as more knowledgeble than I actually am on subects.

Like dyslexia, I presume.

It's an intresting behaviour you mention there, that is using a search engine to gain a cursury knowledge of something and then attempting to pass oneself off as educated on a subject.

Like dyslexia.

Yeah, nothing's worse than someone using Google to try to appear to know more than they do.

But, hell, I don't need to tell you that.

Shows what you know, that's great fun!

Where is Mrens, did you hear? He's a cripple!

Ha ha cripple!


Smash, just because you apparently use YAHOO instead of Google doesn't mean you can discredit all of Thundra's arguments.

If a homeless person were to walk up to me and laugh at my big nose, retorting with "Ha ha you homeless person, at least I have a place to stay" isn't going to change the fact that I have a big nose.

So true. Unfortunatley for Thundra, I'm not somebody who uses search engines randomly to appear knowledgble. Do I use them if I don't know something? Sure I do.

I'm guilty of lots of things. I'm full of **** a great deal of the time. I lie all the time on this board. I make mistakes all the time.

One of the few things I don't do is try to pass of fifteen minutes of Googling as having knowledge about something. I think it's pretty easy to spot when someone does that. It is for me, anyway.

Not that it matters either way. There's no way short of having an in person conversation with someone to prove I don't just look everything up and pretend to understand it. There's no way for anyone on a message board to prove that.

Hell, there's no way to prove I'm the same guy who poseted under this alias yesterday.

I just find it amusing that someone would google dyslexia to make an argument that I rely on google to appear knowledgeble.

PS: Azazello kills Margarita after Master get's arrested.

Just for that..
