Stupid Things People Say
« on: November 30, 2005, 06:31:57 PM »
Lets see.... Here's one.

You mom asks you what you want to have for dinner. You tell her and she says that doesn't sound good. Than why did she ask.

What else do people say to you that is stupid? :P

After reading the boards today I can think of several things to put in this thread.

Well, this is a hard one. But let me see if I can take a swing at it. Perhaps she asked to see if you had a suggestion that sounded good to her. If you had, then you would have a decision about what to have for dinner. Kind of ironic that you started a thread about saying stupid things, huh?

Can certain forum members automatically have their posts forwarded to this thread? :D

Also, just about anything a certain coworker of mine says to me would belong here.

Two top-notch entries from my esteemed British Literature teacher. I can't quote her word for word, but the details are all the same.
Quote
The Trojan Horse was a large, hollow, wooden horse that the Greeks built. It was hollow so that the soldiers could be shielded from Trojan arrows while the horse was repeatedly rammed into the gates in order to break them open. Of course, every time it was rammed into the walls, it jarred all of the soldiers inside it around, so that by the time they gained entrance into the city, they were all quite bloodied and bruised.

Shakespearean speech is very elegant. Some people may find it annoyingly long-winded in that instead of simply saying that the sun was rising, they would say "Mark this moment, for the eternal fiery orb rises once again from the west."

I was biting my tongue about the 25 threads that were resurrected today for no apparent reason.  

But I'm feeling much more congeneal about it now than I was when I posted that.

New people always do that, once it was in fashion to insult those doing it but now everyone has gone soft.

Yeah, I think we're going to have to take away Entropy's newbie-smackdown title.

And where has JP been?

He's still working in the uni computer lab. I still talk to him sometimes but he's kind of wierd lately. Well, more wierd than an aussie nerd is usually.

And JP got the newbie smackdown title, then left. Bah.

If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

It's a long story. He may be back, he may not. He's more friendly off-forum than he was for a short time before he departed. He probably still lurks. So be nice.

Btw, I recommended the Advice thread be resurrected, so no one's allowed to get on the newbie for that.

I personally like old threads being resurrected as long as there is something real to contribute to it, and not just an "I totally agree" post. I did notice when I came on today (and I haven't been around in almost a week so there was a lot that I missed) that there were many threads that were marked new that weren't new. When I first joined I pushed the "Mark all posts as read" button so I'd be informed of only the recently posted threads and not have a "New" tag by old threads. But today they seem to have reappeared. I don't know what's up with that! Oh, well. Once I go through the newly posted threads I'll push the "Mark all posts as read" button again.
