I have not actually been drinking coffee all day, like out of a Camelback or something.

A Camelbak full of coffee?

Oh, it's worse than that.  Been drinking coffee all day, and I'm like a ten-year-old with too much soda in him.  Chained to the desk, paper due on Wednesday. 

Wait, wait, wait.  Sense of humor has been lacking with you lot, so I'll clarify.  I have not actually been drinking coffee all day, like out of a Camelback or something.  I just had four or five cups earlier in the day.  I am not really ten years old.  Well, I am, but I'm actually older than ten years old.  No, I'm not really chained to the desk. 

I refute it thus....

Short sighted? How is historical fact short sighted? Language evolves over time, and "common usage" becomes "proper usage." We don't talk like they did in Revolutionary War days, and the colonists didn't talk like Chaucer. I'm not really sure how you'd dispute that, or are you merely saying you think it's a bad thing?

No one's denying that language changes.  What I find short-sighted is the idea that the way most people talk right now is the only rule.  If we truly hold to that idea, we're going to start having a hard time communicating.

If the dead are not to be spoken of, why do their post counts still show up the list of members?

There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Bacon is the candy bar of meats!

Only the dead have seen the end of war!

Nowhere have I said anything resembling the position you just ascribed to me pants-boy. Maybe you should worry less about usage and more about reading comprehension. :rolleyes: :P

You're right.  This is going off track.  The real point here is, Uncle Bubba hates America.   :police:

No, no, no, y'got it all wrong. I don't hate America, not directly anyway. I hate humans - in the abstract. In the particular, I've found one or two who are tolerable.

And now, at least, we agree on something.  I've generally found you more than tolerable. 

Uh-oh, here comes buddy Jesus again.

Maybe if you mods would start drinking coffee from a Camelbak, then all these problems would be fixed by now....  :O

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.
