The average person is such a moron

[Moonbeam]

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.


"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"


He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought--
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.


And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!


One two! One two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.


"And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
He chortled in his joy.


'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe

LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE...

In this corner weighing in at an IQ of 101, wearing incomprehensible with yellow stripes....Pussillanimous

And in this corner.. wearing out the opposition with intellectual superiority.... From parts unkown Moonbeam...

Let the battle ensue...
no low blows and break with colons and periods...

It's just a quote from Billy Madison. Don't read into it too much.... I see that you have a problem with that- you try so hard to read between the lines that you begin hallucinating and start posting on Anandtech.


PS- learn to properly quote.
------------------------
You sure the Billy Madison quote didn't have more between the lines than that one did on them?

And I do quote properly, you're the bandwidth waster.

--------
-------

But, yet I hear the silence when pain can feel the penetration deeply stain that portion of my brain.. it knows.. and bring forth nectur in its stead and offer soundless chatter as if more relief... it shows... a garrish snarl unwinds the soothing sound of rhapsody...upon useless matter with cluster after cluster and more running driving as if some madness embrazened coldly the lure...

You should have a publisher.

Never mess with anybody from the moon.

You're too kind... and I don't even know if they got it...

The best flame retardent continues to be a superior intellect...
You the fireman....

Yes I learned not only how to use the vorpel blade from him but how to argue too. More appropriate for this occasion from the same author:


You Are Old Father William
Lewis Carroll

From: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1866)

"You are old, father William," the young man said,
"And your hair has become very white;
And yet you incessantly stand on your head --
Do you think, at your age, it is right?

"In my youth," father William replied to his son,
"I feared it might injure the brain;
But, now that I'm perfectly sure I have none,
Why, I do it again and again."

"You are old," said the youth, "as I mentioned before,
And you have grown most uncommonly fat;
Yet you turned a back-somersault in at the door --
Pray what is the reason for that?"

"In my youth," said the sage, as he shook his grey locks,
"I kept all my limbs very supple
By the use of this ointment -- one shilling a box --
Allow me to sell you a couple?"

"You are old," said the youth, "and your jaws are too weak
For anything tougher than suet;
Yet you finished the goose, with the bones and the beak --
Pray, how did you mange to do it?"

"In my youth," said his fater, "I took to the law,
And argued each case with my wife;
And the muscular strength, which it gave to my jaw,
Has lasted the rest of my life."

"You are old," said the youth, "one would hardly suppose
That your eye was as steady as every;
Yet you balanced an eel on the end of your nose --
What made you so awfully clever?"

"I have answered three questions, and that is enough,"
Said his father. "Don't give yourself airs!
Do you think I can listen all day to such stuff?

Be off, or I'll kick you down stairs.

You have much at your becon... not more than a few would have this nearby...
Among my collection is an 1869 volume of Henry Longfellow... a priceless book to me... with artistic rendering on transparent paper as separators... I must revisit it soon..

I enjoy Emily D. and her less than favorite "Oh Captian..."

...
But know I what a billow be.

I guess to me..
A poem is but a recipe
of simple words and metaphore

Finding the topic and choosing the target are much the chore.

When I left for work on friday morning it was close to 80 degrees,sunny,the nicest day we've had here yet.

As I waited for my ride,I briefly thought of grabbing a sweater or jacket.After a very LONG winter of trotting about wearing heavy clothing,I decided against it,I love feeling light and free in my spring gear.Besides,it was almost 80 and it's May,how cold could it get?


The temps dropped something like 40 degrees and it poured... am I a "moron" or an optimist who was sick of winter and just really happy to see spring and the :sun:

lol,I vote with the optimist myself

 

[Pilsnerpete]

I like good weather! Early spring this year makes my mood soar.

A moron would walk in the rain expecting to stay dry and warm in the 40 degree weather... the optimist may do the same... so it may not be the act that tells the story but, rather, the unlaced snowboots.

*Sigh* You really have to blame society for all this. This is what happens when you subvert natural selection with things like seatbelt laws, drug treatment clinics and the like. Used to be if you were this stupid you wandered off and got eaten by a bear or something. Oh how I long for the good old days

I agree. We make laws to protect the stupid, and even the stupid get to breed. Eventually a new race of the "super stupid" is born, and they manage to kill themselves even in this padded, childproof world. So the laws get made to make the world an even softer place, and that works for a little while until the next generation of idiots is born.

I'm all for natural selection. Laws that protect people from themselves only work against society as a whole.

it's great to be one of the elite, isn't it?

it must suck to be so full of hatred.

Keep your bleeding heart liberal views to yourself. Only the stupid will want to protect the stupid. I guess you're afraid that someone will prevent your peers from being born.

moonie...

It was absolutely vital to beginning to get even a small glimpse of myself. Before that all I saw was this delusional, handsome genius in the mirror. I was surrounded by morons, and pretty lonely too. Ah, there's all kinds of lonely. "Only the lonely know the reason why I cry..."

god ain't that the truth

Do you study for blood tests?
Intellegence Quotient ... seems weird to refer to intellegence by dividing it... and how many times.... guess that is why ya can't fail... You can divide the distance to the wall forever... I suppose... not enough time to fail..

You will find, if you care to look, that calling people morons has been very effective.

One diagnostic for effective penetration of the intended effect is to check for name calling and piling on. If you can find somebody identified publicly as a moron you will find all those who themselves have been called moron sometime in the past and unfortunately didn't have the inner whatever it is that enables so few to avoid stabbing themselves in the heart with the feeling that that term is exactly fitting of them, yes you will find them gathered round that reputed moron like stink on sh!t or blow flies to a corpse, sucking it for all it's worth. This of course is due to that unfortunate psychic tendency, unavoidable to the unsuspecting, that whenever one begins to hate himself in this way, the only outlet for that pain is to try to give it to somebody else. The beauty of slur slander calumny and putdown is that in this way the entire race is infected with an all consuming self hate that makes of everybody a WMD to every newborn child. In this way will we eventually hype our hate to a pitch sufficient to exterminate ourselves from the planet. That will happen, of course, unless by some miracle I cannot see, we finally and at last feel our shame.

Take your dribble elsewhere Loony... I am through with you.

It's drivel, unless you have a basketball...

Edit: Weren't you bashing the 'morons' at the soccer field for not paying attention to the weather service? And then you said that you don't trust some of the weather service, and thus did not follow their advice yourself? Hmmm...

Another person checking in who didn't read the whole thread, or who lacks the ability to comprehend when they read. Go back and read the thread, because it makes you look like a moron when a question is already asked and answered.
