Your title should be "Buzz Killington"

If there was humor in any of the posts directed at me, I'd love for you to point it out. Maybe some sarcasm and irony, but humor? I'd accept the title Buzz Killington no problem, but it wouldn't really be fitting. Blunt Dogmatic Anonymous Person might fit better.

Everyone's already known the point you've tried to make, thanks though. :thumbsup:

Apparently not. There are plenty of examples in this thread of how people missed the pretty simple point I made. Here is one:

:laugh: Pretty sure hungfarover's aware that boots like Uggs have a use in cold climate and his joke's entirely over your head

Actually it wasn't, but you would be surprised how many people don't know where uggs came from. Most people think they are only a fashion trend, which is why I pointed it out. It may have evolved into that, but that isn't the point.

I'm not daft. I knew what he meant. I do find it to be amusing that surfers in the 60s had a lot to do with the modern push for sheepskin types of boots. Seems like a fairly unlikely group to push this trend.

MrDudeMan: (Hands ATOT a picture of a man riding a Penny Farthing bicycle.) Now, here's a fellow attempting to ride a bicycle. But he's having some trouble, isn't he? And do you know why?
ATOT: (Sighs) Why?
MrDudeMan: Because he's a Scot! (laughs) Now, who here likes a good story about a bridge?
ATOT: (Groans, lifts his glasses and rubs his eyes)


ATOT: So, do you really think you're suited to be the fourth guy in our group, MrDudeMan?
ATOT: Yeah, I mean, we mainly just sit hear in the booth and crack jokes, but, you're kind of a buzz kill.
MrDudeMan: Oh on the contrary I've quite a mastery of the humorous yarn (laughs). Do any of you know the tale of how cornmeal came to be?
ATOT: No, No, uh-uh no.
MrDudeMan: Neither did the miller when he left his house that morning.

MrDudeMan🙁To ATOT), ATOT, do you know why W.S. Gilbert was always drunk on his trans-Atlantic crossings?
ATOT:Uhhh, No.
MrDudeMan:Because he was quarted on the port side. (chuckles) Now that I've got you, let's revisit the birth of the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company.
ATOT:Ahhhhhhh. (sighs and pinches sinuses like he has a migrane)

You had some potential with this, but none of that was really that funny. I grinned a few times but thats about it. Anyway, it appears that you missed the point worse than you claim I did.

Are you the guy who is really sexist? Or is it just someone else with your avatar? I know this is off topic but I can't remember. Edit: nevermind, it isn't you. I found the thread I was thinking about. It was someone else.

That was uh the point, buzz killington

Pretty common avatar, probably not me

Just because I see them doesn't mean I know what they are called.

No, they're the ones that own their own house and it wasn't by being a brand whore douchebag.

Nah, I was just choosing to keep a personal argument out of the thread. You should be doing the same.

Anyone who thinks high fashion is what Paris Hilton stopped wearing 3 years ago is not exactly the paragon of either taste or hipness.

😕 just wanted perspective on who is criticizing female fashions. This is not to do with finances. In any case most people don't own their houses regardless of what they wear the bank does. And in todays economy owning a house isn't that great....I know my place is down 15% in value this year.
 
LOL, I wear my ghetto cheap UGG'alikes all the time. Damn comfy and delightfully irritating in public :thumbsup:

 
Wow those are hideous. I never had a name for it, but everytime I see them, I say "nice boots...not". Come on, get some hooker boots or the ones with the fur and fur balls attached to them, now those look nice (not being sarcastic).
