What do you think of someone who interjects a few lines of poetry into a conversation?

You are a fucking idiot, if I ever meet you I'll punch *you* in the face, but only after quoting an appropriate line about arrogant fools getting theirs.

Well if you're quoting poetry you're probably a little wuss so yea.....

Next time you hear this:


They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

or this:


In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

I suggest you call the grieving soldiers and their families 'gay' and 'punch them in the face' - see what happens. Stupid boy.

If someone quoted that to me during a convo, I'd go like this





Then drop kick them in the face.

Those are quoted at memorial services.

If someone quotes poetry at you, just respond with a dirty limerick:

There once was a fellow McSweeny
Who spilled some gin on his weenie
Just to be couth
He added vermouth
Then slipped his girlfriend a martini

Every now and then he quotes a poet, appropriate for the subject of conversation I might add.

You met dennilfloss IRL? He's Canadian, they do that.

oh hell no.

Judgemental insulting ass. You don't know me, you're posturing, you're unpleasant. Good luck with that.

Thanks. I've actually had pretty good luck with it so far. I don't surround myself with people who try to act like they are better than everyone else and so far it has worked well. In case you didn't catch on, I essentially called you out on your bullshit and now you are mad. You think you are better than me or anyone else who doesn't value poetry while I simply think we enjoy different things. Good luck with your arrogance.

You have a lot of resentments, I don't have any problem with you, but you're really pissed off at people who like things you don't. I think you need to chill out. Read something you like, maybe have a drink.

Please read my post again. I not only have no resentments but I also don't have any problem with people who like different things. You are the one who apparently has that problem. The bold part should make it obvious. Also, go read my first response to your post where I pointed out that your comments were elitist and that I in no way said my beliefs or values are better than yours. I'm totally chilled out by the way. If I was pissed I wouldn't be watching Southpark right now.

That's actually a good point. I'd like to amend my statement to say "in real life".

i do this all the time. unfortunately, my musical tastes span a good 60 years, and sometimes my references are much older, and smarter, than the folks i'm conversing with.

me: well, you don't need a weatherman to tell which way the wind blows

her: what?

me: bob dyl... don't hate the player, hate the game

Thread revival !!
I watched his reality TV show on VH1 and found it was the usual reality TV <insert opinion on reality TV shows here>. As such, it was better than the regular drivel, but I could even watch the Scott Baio one and find it was at least entertaining to see how normal these former celebrity stars were.

Mosh, you should start a 'former celebrity stars: where are they now' thread and the replies can document what happened to each one.
