The many questions-not-worth-their-own-thread question thread XX

It was obvious to me that VRCW was talking about Austrians getting close to teenagers, but it wasn't until Leoreth complained that I realised that it could be taken to be in poor taste.

 

[Borachio]

^^Hmmm. Lucky you!

 

[Farm Boy]

I think I really shouldn't have entered those google searches to figure out what you are talking about on my work computer.

'Strewth! Is this true, Mr Q?


It doesn't sound like any of the teenagers I've encountered. Nor was it true when I was one. No one could get anything into my head at all.

absolutely, it's effect is increased when the sayer is a large adult male. this is basic stuff borachio.

 

[Borachio]

Well. You could have fooled me. People generally do. It isn't hard.

But still, teenagers give a very good impression of taking no notice at all.

your oppressive social attitudes and gleefully stigmatising ways place a unreasonable social burden on the young. why do you hate young people so much?

Because old people have been running the world for thousands of years, and it is not going to change. Ever.

Us young'uns may think we have "feedom", but it's just a hiccup in the eternal fascist dominion over us young'uns, run by old people.

 

[Mango Elephant]

F*** old people!

 

[Farm Boy]

F*** old people!

Some with a couple extra years under our belts might enjoy a spin with somebody a little more flexible and excitable. Within legal and responsible limits, of course.

 

[Arakhor]

I'm nearly twice your age, Mango. Am I an old person?

I'm well aware. I like old people. You would too, if you've gone through what I have. You see, I went to Monte Carlo a few years back with a certain friend, and I'm sure you can imagine, being very young and immature, but we became sort of stranded. That Casino bled us dry financially, and we lost our passage back home. You can't fathom my hatred for that town. To get back funding, I knew what I had to do, so I made the intimate acquaintance of an old Lyonnaise Dame who owned a chateau in Fontvieille. She was a lovely woman. Very elegant. She bequeathed me a beautiful ring with a mother-of-pearl inlaid in silver when she died, and I'm told she was buried with a chest of poems I had written her over the years. Eventually she did paid for me and my friend's voyage back to the States, but I still feel very much in her debt. Yes, I'm quite fond of old people, and they tend to be quite fond of me.

I'm nearly twice your age, Mango. Am I an old person?

Probably. I'm told the British escape the womb aged.

Maybe that's why Stephen Fry said that when he was born, he looked up at his mother and thought, "that's the last time I'm coming out of one of those."

 

[Mango Elephant]

Undoubtedly. Nowadays I hear the only thoroughly modern place in Britain is Essex.

How does bahaha differ from haha in social media parlance? Why do I see bahaha all the time on Facebook but never here?

We're a step up on the social ladder from the Facebook drama queens (also 'bahaha' is much more casual and less reserved. A simple 'haha' is, well.. haha.).

I used to be young and stupid. Now I'm old and stupid.

Can I look on this positively? I've at least retained 50% of my youthful qualities.

Silly Mr. B, didn't you know that once you form wrinkles, you are a wise sage of all there is to life?

Kind of just proves my point.

There's no fool like an old fool.

The young can afford to make mistakes - since they can't properly be expected to know better.

 

[PlutonianEmpire]

The problem with old people is that they're all authoritarian fascists.

Maybe that's why Stephen Fry said that when he was born, he looked up at his mother and thought, "that's the last time I'm coming out of one of those."

Every time someone says that name, I keep thinking they mean Philip Fry from Futurama.
