Huh? too much caffeine and not enough sex and alchohol for this boy.

mburbank Okay. So. The very best spin we could put on this is that it was self deprecating humor.

There is nothing to 'get'.

A 'horrible abuse of dialectical meanings.' is a very dignified label to give bad writting.

I guess your claim is that is was deliberate.

In which case we'd have to see the title of your thread as being sincere.

So thanks.

Dole "I doubt any of you would be able to kill me"

-I like a challenge.

Anyone who says something along the lines of 'It was all a big joke! And you fell for it!' is generally devoid of any kind of sense of humour.

And no, it probably wasn't so much a metaphor as it was a horrible abuse of dialectical meanings.
Oh boy.... he's finally slipping into Vinny-like behavior. "Yes, I wrote poorly ON PURPOSE to be FUNNY and IRONIC, even though I have NO GRASP of what IRONY MEANS!"

*cuckoo*

Next stop, Lithiumville.

Irony is, say, when someone makes a thread to make fun of someone else, yet it is the thread author who's made to look the fool, by his own witless hand; like you, in this case.

Irony is not something you use to press the creases out of your pants, you dumb-ass.

mburbank So, ah poorly constructed non metaphor about heat and cooking is ironic becuase my writting by contrast is... Good?

See, to bullshit your way out of something, you need to look LESS stupid at the end.

The One and Only... The comparison was between the similiarity of pressure and the heat that comes from cooking.

But the real joke comes from the fact that this is a thread making fun of your wordplay.

That's where the irony comes in.

Hah!!! My genius has allowed me to BS my way out of stupid comments yet again!!!

Did I just post that out loud...???
Feb 9th, 2004 06:22 PM
mburbank See, now, THAT's the 'fiber' I'm talkin' about.






you know, when the... pressure...


gets it all... cooked and junk.
Feb 9th, 2004 05:23 PM
kellychaos The Max-Vinth parallels are uncanny. It's like that whole Lincoln-Kennedy phenomenon. It will probably prove a lot more astonishing once I find out what the parallels are.
They WILL be uncanny I can promise you... seriously.
Feb 9th, 2004 05:02 PM
mburbank I don't see anything in the metaphor, mostly because it isn't a metaphor.

Maybe it's a reference or some odd little play on words and I don't get it. But it sure as hell isn't a metaphor.

So in real life you're not all poncy and precious?

kellychaos I think that the "tool" form of address is an efficient management tool in respect to the chosen subjects ... kind of like idiot Ridlin. The End.
Feb 9th, 2004 04:26 PM
The One and Only... Apparently Burbank doesn't see the irony in the metaphor. But that's okay.

I doubt any of you would be able to kill me, because once you met me, you would realize I'm nothing like I am on this board. And I'm not ugly.

mburbank Julia Child, I think. Something to do with Celery.

Dole Thats deep, man. Whose is it? Aristotle? Locke? Hume? Fat Albert?
Feb 9th, 2004 09:35 AM
mburbank Well, see, now, that's just what happens when the pressure gets cooking. You get down to the fiber.
Feb 9th, 2004 06:17 AM
Dole Thats weird, I hear a voice saying 'Find him and kill him'.
Feb 9th, 2004 01:01 AM
sspadowsky Halfway through any of OAO's posts, I just start hearing the voices of Charlie Brown's parents.

so he's failed as a philosopher, now he's a comedian.....what's next, personal trainer?

Pee Wee Herman Whenever I think of OAO, I think of a fat, ugly, friendless boy groaning in erotic pleasure as he rubs his temples while using sentences like "Ronald Reagan subconjugated the national debt in triplicate, per se." and "According to Frederich Ikrach, the humanity of oneself is subjective and dependent upon our thoughts and desires, therefore the supernatural exists in ways our extremely limited senses cannot perciebve, in any manner greater than we are used to in order to experience the universe's existence."
