GDT: CARCHI

[Svechhammer]

I'm okay with this as long as we're not discussing nazis on the backside of the moon. Because it was really disappointing even the previous time around.

Wait

what?

Wait

I just recently learned that Iron Sky wasn't a documentary but fiction.

i enjoy watching the hcanes play hockey they are my favorite nhl team

when they score a goal, i think to myself "yes"

when the other scores a goal, i think to myself "no"

Before I forget, somebody cart this boomer out of the building. That's a complete lack of attitude. I bet he's some noob here.

I'm not sure what was better. The set-up? or the execution.

Well done.

[MrazeksVengeance]

yes

I don't like war.

War, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing

TO FIGHT IT, IS THE ONLY WAY TO END IT...

Alright, skipping the Hussites (and Hungarian winged hussars) for now, onward to the Greco-Persian conflicts. I always sided with the Persians. The global peace promised by Darius and Xerxes would have been a boon to the Mediterranean world that was killing itself by all the fighting, between Greek colonies and their neighbors, before Pax Romana a couple centuries later. Look at what the Greek did with their victory. A bat of an eyelash and Athens and Sparta are at war. Hopeless troublemakers. Don't even bring up why Troy had to be destroyed. And I haven't even begun with my soft spot for Carthage. Ah, the pain, the pain.

Wait a minute. This is a hockey forum

UNBIASED STUDENT OF HISTORY HAS TO ADMIT THAT PERSIAN SOCIETY AND CULTURE WERE FAR FROM BARBARIC AND IN CERTAIN ASPECTS PERSIANS WERE MORE FREE THAN MOST GREEKS.

BUT I DON’T THINK UNITY AND PEACE ARE NECESSARILY SIGN OF A GREAT AGE.

EAST OF THE IRON CURTAIN THERE WAS PEACE AND UNITY AND IT SURE SUCKED BALLS.

BUT ONE HAS TO APPRECIATE GREEK MILITARY PROWESS NECESSARY TO PREVAIL AGAINST THEIR ODDS.

 

[MrazeksVengeance]

Can't be.

1) Posts with more than 1 sentence.
2) Not ALL caps
3) Posts that are coherent and make sense.

I CAN TELL THIS HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH ME, BUT WHO OR WHAT THR HELL IS BD58.

If the Twitter was a made of barbecue spare ribs would you eat it.

It's a simple question!

 

[Navin R Slavin]

I never understood why "a tool" is offensive. For me it would be like getting called the handyman or some other highly appreciative skillset possessing man name.

Because "tool" is a metaphor for penis.

 

[Lempo]

Because "tool" is a metaphor for penis.

Euphenism, I believe.

Metaphor is when Hades stole Persephone to his netherworld, and after the settlement by which she would live half a year there as his wife, her mother Demeter would just weep which would cause winter to happen every year.

The golden apples of Hades, which Persephone had been enjoying in the meanwhile necessitating this arrangement, are an euphenism.

 

[Stubu]

Most of us are from non-pony countries

Where I live we actually have more llama and emu farms than pony or horse farms. And this is not Peru or Oz I can tell you. I'm not sure this global mentality makes all that much sense.

 

[Stubu]

This will help...

Now that's rude.

Real gentlemen prefer WD-40 for household maintenance.

Sometimes I think your well meanings are just misunderstood. Like Tori Amos famously said of Trent Reznor, "sometimes I think he just needs a cup of hot chocolate and a blankie".

"whoosh"

said everybody else

because you mispelled euphemism there

euphenism can't be a thing. or there are new things in the world and we wouldn't want that, would we? we don't even know if this current world with a tolerable amount of things is expanding or contracting or what the phycisists come up with next. dark matter? pshaw. humbug, I say. all humbug

 

[NotOpie]

How many people truly know those guys though? I honestly don't know 2 of those 4 you listed so am curious how well known they are.

Yeah, you're probably right, but you emphasized the point I was trying to make....as the medium evolved, audiences expanded. To the more limited audiences of newspaper and magazine sports journalists, they were characters, celebrities with over-sized personalities. Radio and then television multiplied and magnified that effect. Some would say that multiplication/magnification effect from the web is more democratized as well. Still, it is an interesting phenomenon.

 

[Lempo]

It's an euphenism if it is a phenis you're covering for with your weasel word.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Can you imagine Harry Carey on twitter?

That would be hilarious. Growing up watching the Cubs on WGN and listening to Harry and Steve Stone was a treat. When he'd get bored (and that happened a lot with the Cubs back then), he'd start trying to pronounce the players names backwards, among other things.

Yea, like we said, blame the physicists. It's all about the cosmos expanding and not contracting to compensate. Basterds. Interesting to watch though.
