Random Rants LIV: I Took An Arrow In The Knee

[bhsup]

America stands astride the world like a colossus, noble leader. We get to decide what official English is now.

 

[salty mud]

Don't you ever feel weird using a language that by all rights isn't yours?

It's ours.

 

[bhsup]

Well yeah, but it's the family tongue. And just as new generations make new words and alter the meaning of old words that become accepted, so to must our mother country accept that her son now decides what things mean in English. And by son, I mean America of course. Not our siblings.

But hey, just remember. Anglosphere best sphere!

Even pounds avoirdupois has the symbol lb. You're out of date, V.

Yesterday, I was working on my car. I went inside for a just moment and I came back to find that someone had walked by, pissed on the engine and battery and left.

lolwut?

Man, I'll get really pissed if I can't get to ask that one girl in the gym out.[...]

-> yeah, sure, I knew I wouldn't meet her again this week.
Let's hope for next week :/.

Perfectly logical explanation. They were probably trying to be neighborly and pee in your radiator to help keep your engine cool, but just had bad aim. They didn't stick around because they were ashamed of their bad aim.

 

[Borachio]

No. I think they were just very drunk.

Being very drunk does that to you. You need a pee. You find somewhere entertaining to pee.

Peeing on a dog is highly amusing, too.

Spoiler :

I'm told.

There were more emperors than the Palaiologoi, though #komnenoi, #alexiosII

All men are beautiful anyway. They bring balance to the force

And for some of use

So who's your daddy? Or is 'Merica a bastard child?

Spoiler :

I'm told.

By the voices in your head?

This polandball flow chart of the anglosphere clears up everything. England is BOTH mother and father. Whether it was cloning or incest.... well, we just don't talk about that.

 

[Takhisis]

Nobody fornicates with England, eh?

Lucy demands your presence.

 

[cybrxkhan]

I thought the countryballs could change gender at will/were hermaphrodites.

The truly dedicated will make sure to hit your air intakes.

By the voices in your head?

No.

I'm tempted to say: "by the voices in yours". But that honestly doesn't make any sense. So I won't.

I should remind you that the subject was peeing on a dog.

And I said that, because I've never actually ever done any such thing myself, I'd heard* it could be amusing.

*as in "I'm told".

Why does this all make you think I might be schizophrenic, and hearing voices in my head?

 

[madviking]

Computer's dead (or at least dying)

Sent from phone y'all

By the voices in your head?

No, but the little man on my shoulder has told me similar things. He also constantly reminds me that I'm not insane.

Which subject was peeing on a dog?

Also, I know there are voices in your head. The ones in mine have assured me so.

No, but the little man on my shoulder has told me similar things. He also constantly reminds me that I'm not insane.

And that you're making history by sniping.

 

[SamSniped]

And that you're making history by sniping.

Counting every kill.

 

[Takhisis]

You should play OpenArena with me, then.

Just discovered I'm the sole member of my family being excluded from an upcoming wedding.
