If you block those who disagree with you, than only the people who agree with you shall remain; hence, you created this thread just so you may be praised. Contradulations, you are egocentric. ^_^

I wonder if jpcman gets the joke?  Could he possibly have looked at a post containing the phrase "overly promiscuous mother" and think it was serious?

pom·pous  (pmps)    whats up with the (pmps) here? Is that the Hebrew spelling? (There are no vowels in written Hebrew)

Well as usual its really heartwarming to see that several peeps took your facetious posting seriously.

TheGrobe

I assumed it was Welsh.

No hablo ingles, senor.

Actually, though, it's because the phonetic symbols didn't survive the cut-and-paste job.

Of course, you meant "smegness."

Geez Grobe, way to make my thread look like crap.

TheGrobe

Hey, sorry man -- didn't realize I was stepping on your toes.  I hadn't seen your thread.  Nice work, by the way.

I think that if it's for the good of the world, toes can be more or less bosonic.

What's funny is having to explain it's satire.


It comes as no surprise to me.  I can hardly expect my inferiors to have ever stepped foot in a library to actually learn anything, let alone to have gone to university for a four-year degree in English literature.


 Will anybody with a degree in lit. own up to it.....

Yeah, but, I have another worthless degree, too: history.

That makes me the most pompous of all!

What endears us to our animal friends is their complete lack of pomposity.


 Not true!  Boars can be extraordinarily pompous.  Bulls maybe a little, too; though, I think they suffer mostly from vanity.

And please note that I included the Oxford comma.
