Bruce, you have no room to laugh. Even if you voted Republican in November, where that puts you is level with me. Not a bad thing, but hardly a matter for snickering.

You were skewered, nailed to the fucking wall, and you admired the sentence structure. Dumb shit. :right:

More correctly, I do not care if he's trying to skewer. UT has always been able to write, and he tries to think. I do not let silliness from UT bother me -- I ignore unworthy sarcasm, and always will. He may have a philosophy of life. I think mine may be better. This means he can't stop me from being serene -- or (U)rbane. Same goes for you. Clear?

That's what I said, you didn't get it.

Post #29? That said nothing; it was all semiotic.

To abandon triviality momentarily, some latterday Pinocchios might have to struggle to distinguish

The suicide bomber burst into the room from The suicide bomber burst in the room.

That's what I said, you didn't get it.

I am telling you something you don't want to hear: if one is wise enough to attach little to no importance to something, there is then nothing one needs to "get." Triviality it was, triviality it remains; triviality lengthens with your replies.

UT was sarcastic? So, he's sarcastic. Nonetheless, he is thinking the right thought. I can accept that.

You cannot manage to turn me to your particular brand of unwisdom, Bruce, but you might do very well indeed if you abandoned it yourself. After all, it's not like you couldn't hew to the good and the wise. You've got the brains. You have at least some of the values. How about the rest?

Pip pip, stiff upper lip, don't let the troops know you've been shot. :lol2:

Bugger off Bruce, he ain't one of ours :P You're damn well keeping him.

Rest assured, most of America won't claim Californians as ours either.

We'll trade you for Neville Chamberlain. ;)

*grins*

Incidentally: I know some stuff. But what I don't know outweighs what I do know. Any assertion beyond that would be either false modesty or gross arrogance.

I think "gross arrogance" in his case.;)

This might be one of those anomalies where we actually know something. :D

:beer:
