My Christmas Gift to You, eGrizzers : Irony

[ordigger]

You seem very likable, so that works.

Just a FYI: More often than not, I make it to the Jackson Hole Writers' Conference in Jackson, Wyoming. (Late June schedule, if you've never been, you might give it a try. Pricey, but good information and lots of simpatico people for a writer to rub elbows with.) A few years back, one of the workshops/panels was on commonly mis-used words and phrases. "Irony/ironic" generated a lot of heat during the discussions ... although "consensus of opinion" also drew considerable ire, as I recall :lol: .

Simpatico, my petite ass … and a pack of pretenders. I was thrown out of there 3 years ago for using words that were too large for them.

Well if you didn't take so damn long looking them up in your dictionary, they wouldn't have thrown you out.

Here's a word for you to look up, Tolstoy: Projection.

Actually that is two words. Oh the irony.

Well GG, I'll say this...

You're in the top 23 in overall Internet likeability, as relates to eGriz.com. If I were to hazard a guess (and, for sanity's sake, please remember I'm spitballing here), I'd say Fat Brunette is solidly in the top 1 for Internet dis-likeability. Again, that's merely a layman's calculation, but I feel it's semi-accurate. If you're looking to attain Brunette's elite status, simply bring the mis-placed hubris, ad-hominem insults and protracted, ridiculously wordy paragraphs of well-crafted nonsense that no one has the patience to finish.

As to the "safety meetings" you referenced above, suffice to say none is complete without a DD, or as the kids say,"the Uber app." Been having those meetings for years... :thumb:

Honestly tho it's nice to have a woman's voice on here who also gets it (careful or the brunette will label you some sub- type of message board sycophant).

I thought the psychiatric intervention had cured you of your obsession with me. That was a start, but nothing will ever help with your stalwart triteness.

I'm obsessed with single-malts, Grizzlies and making money, in no particular order. You, madam, are simply an amusing diversion.

If hanging your simple ass out there for me to kick, every time, is your idea of diversion, then be my guest, but we'll have to add morbid self abuse to your dull psychological profile.

Only through your simple, myopic lens have you "kicked" anything.

Spoiler: "saying" and "doing" are not correlative.

Sorry, girl. You can't win for losin'.

Anywhodles, CFalls, CDA, and Ordigger: PM so I know where we meet for that drink...

What? Wow … every time I think I’ve seen the site’s biggest pinhead, another one … See, that’s why understanding the simplest punctuation is important … to avoid making a fool of yourself while “correcting” someone else. Note the comma and the colon; learn to understand them and their meaning, and the written word will become more comprehensible and you will be set free … of continued embarrassment, Nabokov.

Alright, girlyboy. Now, see what I done there, boys, equating him with a female, girly person? That’s the bomb, the killer. They don’t come back from that. It’s like going nukuler, ya know? Cruel I know, and I didn’t want to do it, but he keeps following me around like a needy puppy.

Yep I agree with "note the comma", perhaps English is not your primary language. That's okay. Go to school, learn a little - have some fun. It should all work out for you. And when you grow up, you can better understand what grammar is, and how to use it. But, most of all you will be able to comprehend what others write, and how useless the dribble you post truly is.

Alright, Hemingway ... I keep dropping bread crumbs for the illiterate moron, but it doesn't help. I'll spell it out for you like your special ed teacher did ... or probably still does. The comma precedes the sarcastic name; the colon precedes the word in question. If you still need help, go somewhere else. Teaching fools is not my thing.

Not the way you wrote it....still two words. Better go back and read it, or try again. Okay Tolstoy? “If you look for perfection, you'll never be content.” And, “In the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work, look around you.”
