Random Rants LXIV: Who's Acting Like a Child Now?

[Snerk]

In this case you should have a sixpack and should be happy about it ^^.

Not much of a sixpack here I'm afraid. But I don't really mind, sixpack-schmixpack, too much effort just for some tummy lumps.

 

[Takhisis]

So you wouldn't drink six beers? Bad snerk, bad!

 

[gay_Aleks]

Great. Excellent. Splendid. My brother is returning from his time in Plovdiv. Again. Hahahaha. Ha. hAHAHHAHhah

 

[Takhisis]

Tolni! I have just seen a Bulgarian film in which the protagonsit sounds as if they'd lifted your CFC posts and made a film off them! A depressed Bulgarian teenager about to finish high school, who thinks that in Bulgaria he has no future and there's no way out. Have you been engaged in filmmaking while we aren't looking?

 

[gay_Aleks]

That's literally every person between the age of 18-27 in Bulgaria right now.

 

[Arakhor]

Plovdiv is yet another of those names I only know via turning it white or purple when playing EU IV.

 

[Takhisis]

@Tolni: Except for the teenager part, hopefully… well, it's 100% of the Bulgarians we in CFC know. Not enough of a sample size.
But I've just remembered, you have also claimed your brother is not like you. SO is he outside the 18-27 age range? If so, we have a basis for a study on the contemporary Bulgarian youth.

@Arakhor: Think of it as ‘Philippoupoli’.

 

[gay_Aleks]

He isn't really out of it, he's about 24-25. But I hate him. And him coming back is a disaster because I can't bear his face. And now, he returns. The last 18 years of my life will replay, again, ending my freedom. Hoo-ray.

 

[Takhisis]

So he is within the 18-27 range. Hmmm, food for thought…

Have you ever tried to articulate why he annoys you so much and then talk it out with him?

 

[gay_Aleks]

Yes, he is on the PC. And that's the only good thing in my life, which in itself is rather rantworthy.

 

[Takhisis]

He is hogging the PC? We should lock him up with my Oreo-stealing father!

Do you have more serious grievances? (If you don't want to discuss them here, drop by the fiftychats!)

Incidentally, do you agree with the pseudo-Tolni in the film, that Botev is an idiot?

 

[Snerk]

So you wouldn't drink six beers? Bad snerk, bad!

I'll drink if you're buying!

 

[Takhisis]

Drop by anytime!

tfw someone you respect adds 'von' to a German name when it doesn't belong there

e.g. Erich 'von' Ludendorff, Friedrich 'von' Paulus

I imagine this must be similar to my feeling when otherwise intelligent people say "whom" instead of "who" when "who" is called for.

The easy way I use is "if you otherwise would say him, say whom".

 

[Lexicus]

Whom - object
Who - subject

 

[Arakhor]

We weren't really taught formal grammar when I was at school, so that's not actually that helpful in a hurry.

 

[W|M]

Just use who in all cases
