Oh, the irony in telling us you can speak in all tongues. Y'all (not ya'll) is a contraction of you all. It is the Southern American informal plural of "you." It would therefore be "y'all're (y'all are) wrong, not y'alls. Yous is the plural of you in northern England (where it sounds like you're from), so perhaps you combined y'all and yous into single mismatched slang. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/yous — Hanover

Extraordinary bit of research done there. :clap:

The Bay Islanders way of speaking is influenced by the southern states drawling speech as well as the English settlers from generations ago, but they do actually say ya'll. In Belize, most of the time it sounds like y'll. Language is so much fun.

I can't see where the confusion came from, haha. — ZhouBoTong

I'll lend you my glasses if you want. :cool: Make it easier to see.

Still sounds like a sarcastic atheist to me. — ZhouBoTong

Or is it possibly atheistic sarcasm?

You speak British, an antiquated English, the form spoken prior to the American corrections and perfection. — Hanover

Ya think? Ya'lls wrong on that. I lived in Canada, the USA and several other places around Central America as well as England. The last time I was back there I had trouble understanding them and they thought I was a foreigner.

I have the bad habit of picking up other peoples way of speaking when I am around them for a while. I was in Belize and the Bay Islands for work and my father used to laugh when he heard me speaking after returning from a trip.

Found this vid of Michael doing his cockney thing. You'll notice he's a bit vertically challenged but a charming fella' nonetheless. — Baden

:lol: :rofl: :lol: :rofl:

Hopefully, as I'm a native English speaker. — Hanover

That makes three of us, you and me too. Unless Manchester managed to gain its independence from England without me knowing.

I say it means she's been a wife for 64 years. — Hanover

Without trying to be mean or anything, but does anyone really care what you say. :wink:

But in the context of the article you are right, as Baden explained.

That she is 64 years old, it is very rare that marriages last that long.

So now you know our origins. True story. I don't believe I could be clearer. — Hanover

Holy fuck!!!! That's how history is made(up).

You should have posted a copy in the creative thread.

Am I wrong? — Teller

No your are not. Just because it is a fad, and will pass, does not make it any less ugly and degrading.

Dancing has always been a mating ritual but twerking and the music videos that promote it seem more like sales than romance. Yesterday was carnival day where I live, not Notting Hill, I was struck by the number of very young kids twerking to reggaeton music while their dumbass parents stood by with their cell phones uploading photos and videos of their little ones performing what would be classed as public sex acts in some places.

My parents bitched about rock and roll being perverse but today's idiotic breeders seem to think it is normal for a young girl to rub her ass against a boy's dick.

May Murphy have pity on us in the future.

Experimentation

Experience

20 years of trying to do it right, experiencementation. :chin:

Electric automated doors have no knobs. But that does not stop it from being a door nor convert it into a wall. A barrier maybe but not a wall.

I would have said, no actually the gnostic is atheist, hence the sarcastic "is god a coward?" — ZhouBoTong

Before you can state that a god is a coward, or anything else for that matter, unless you have first proven that the god you are talking about is real then you are talking through your ass.

I thought the entire gnostic religion was playing off sarcasm — ZhouBoTong

I thought all religions were in the comedy genre. But religions have to have a super being or something to worship, so the gnostic cannot be atheist as you stated before. Or are you confused about it.

Half my teef are falshe. I got implants in my old country, a one-time communist country. It's dirt cheap there, compared to the local prices where I reside. — god must be atheist

I am going to have to have a small bridge, no fucking way I am going to have implants. They are cheap here too, but I am too scared. A friend had one done and it went wrong, did he ever suffer.

Funny you mention that. I have an appointment to get a molar pulled tomorrow morning. — Noah Te Stroete

I am half way through 8 appointments that I should have gone to 6 years ago when it was 3 appointments for emergency work to be done.

I paid the dentist up front so I have to go now or lose the money. :lol:

Haha! You sound cool. — Noah Te Stroete

That reminds me of what the doctor who sewed up my back said. "You don't have to act cool around here, I know this fucking well hurts" He would not believe that I could not feel a thing. I have always had weird reactions to anesthetics, they either work too well or not at all. Hence my fear terror of dentists.

How many angels can dance on the head of a pin? — S

But pinheads do!! :wink:

I never felt more alive than when I got a fistful of rings in the eye or the time someone smashed a beer glass in my face. I went off both times. — Noah Te Stroete

Ahh, the good old days. :cool:
Busted and scarred lips, nose, eye brows and knuckles. A 2x4 on the back of the head, a bottle on the back and a boot in the balls. And I never came out the loser. Except when they ripped my new suit, that made me cry.
Manchester in the 60/70's was the place to be.

Cowardly, silent absentee gods are not worthy gods. — Gnostic Christian Bishop

Before anyone can make these claims, they must prove the existence of these gods.

Otherwise they are giving credence to the believers' ideas they are trying to demolish.

If you were really interested in seeing men fighting them you should start a broad sword fighting club and let them whack away at each other.

Seriously, how can anyone think it is fun and worth paying to see 2 men clobber each other in a ring and then cry blue murder about barbaric behaviour when they do the same thing in front of the pub?

Any kind of sport is OK for physical fitness but to put 2 guys in a ring to beat the shit out of each other for money is on the same level as dog fights.

Come on BC, there has got to be more options than that.

#1 applies more to cats than dogs.
#2 compared to or in contrast to their owners?
#3 my dogs don't like plastic stuff, but they will tear anything made of wood and beer cans to pieces.

What about;
My dog is as smart as I have taught him to be. Or as stupid.
My dog does things that I cannot explain, he must have figured them out by himself.

One of my dogs, mostly German shepherd, spend most of her time plotting a new escape. She has search out every weak part of the fence to make holes. She has systematically dug around the base of the fence to find a place to dig her tunnel. She has done running jump tests on every section of the fence to find places where it will support her when she climbs it. She never tries to escape when someone is at home.

Does anyone want to adopt her?

Cute and nice. — S

The question is about you, not what that dead cat in your basement used to be like.

I didn't write any positive personality traits not because I don't want to toot my horn, but because I have a hard time seeing the positive in me. I'm sure I do have some positive traits, I just can't identify them right now. — Purple Pond

You are honest.

No takers? I guess I was mistaken in thinking people would open up about their personality to online strangers. Oh, well. — Purple Pond

Not many can be objectively honest about themselves, if they were they would probably not like themselves very much.

I doubt that I would call myself obsessed, dedicated maybe to getting things done.

I have given up anxiety and become a Murphiest. If it is going to happen it will, at the wrong moment.

I got over sensibility as well. I don't give a shit now what anyone says.

I can still see yesterdays beer can sitting on my desk, but it is stopping some papers I use for taking notes and planning being blown away by the fan that got stuck in one place about a month ago and is waiting to be repaired, when I can find the plan I made to fix things around the house. So I guess I could call myself organized chaos.

Apart from that I am a happy, loving guy that gets along with most people. :cool:

One question really. Why do you forsake me? — Hanover

She did not forsake, she avoiding you! :smirk:

I don't have as much free time as I would like right now so I don't come as often either. I should make more of an effort, I miss the company. :smile:

I suppose it will be a big joke when one of your kids comes home from school asking why all of his classmates were laughing at your naked ass on the internet. :yikes:

If you can talk your way out of that one and then feel free to post what ever you want. :up:

You will be sorry and come back. Take my word for it. :brow:

Better pain killers maybe.

The perfect cup of tea.

A burger that actually looks like the one in the commercial.

Extinct alien race resurrection.

I'll show up more often then. — Michael

:scream: :worry:

:snicker: :smirk:

Nice to see you around again, this place was getting short of pretty faces. :wink:

Lawful Neutral Human Sorcerer (8th Level)


Ability Scores:
Strength- 13
Dexterity- 14
Constitution- 12
Intelligence- 12
Wisdom- 12
Charisma- 12

Alignment:
Lawful Neutral- A lawful neutral character acts as law, tradition, or a personal code directs him. Order and organization are paramount to him. He may believe in personal order and live by a code or standard, or he may believe in order for all and favor a strong, organized government. Lawful neutral is the best alignment you can be because it means you are reliable and honorable without being a zealot. However, lawful neutral can be a dangerous alignment when it seeks to eliminate all freedom, choice, and diversity in society.

Race:
Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.

Class:
Sorcerers- Sorcerers are arcane spellcasters who manipulate magic energy with imagination and talent rather than studious discipline. They have no books, no mentors, no theories just raw power that they direct at will. Sorcerers know fewer spells than wizards do and acquire them more slowly, but they can cast individual spells more often and have no need to prepare their incantations ahead of time. Also unlike wizards, sorcerers cannot specialize in a school of magic. Since sorcerers gain their powers without undergoing the years of rigorous study that wizards go through, they have more time to learn fighting skills and are proficient with simple weapons. Charisma is very important for sorcerers; the higher their value in this ability, the higher the spell level they can cast.

But I will make an attempt to lower my game...so as to be at a level with the likes of you. — Frank Apisa

Thank you. :roll: I think?

If only you people would learn a second language.

Translation:

"That water is fucking cold. So will you please piss of because I don't want you to see me when I come out of the water."

I think he is referring to the effect the cold has on men's private parts.

What defines a good philosopher and how one can be a good philosopher? — John Pingo

Try naming one and we can continue from there. If you find a good one you just follow his example.

Or you can try to figure things out yourself and become one.

Why do you think this is a paradox?

My question is whether this social convention of never uttering the N-word is a reasonable act of respect or whether it's simply a politically imposed rule that can be used to divide and destroy? — Hanover

If the word is to become a thing of the past that is unknown to the present then everybody would have to stop using it. The same people that it was meant to refer to use it all the time, they just don't want to be called it by other groups.
The same has happened to nearly all of the smaller groups that had been named by the majority in some derogatory way. A couple of gays I know still call each other queers. Nearly all groups have names that they use among themselves that has been used by others as insults at some time. Talking to some nurses a while ago( male and female) they happily called each other butt wipers. But when a smart-ass doctor used the name they were ready to lynch him.

Over time people will start to use the now acceptable words that refer to these groups as insults and then they will also become unacceptable.

If not using the words was a reasonable act of courtesy or respect then there would have to be respect for the persons being referred to. The only way that is going to happen is when everyone is considered equal to everyone else. Do you think that will ever happen.
If it is a politically imposed rule, I doubt that the intention is to divide and destroy, more along the lines of sucking up to possible new voters by the ruling or wanting to rule parties.

The Welsh, on the other hand, fuck sheep. — Hanover

I thought it was the Australians that were the sheep shaggers. :joke:

Spelling. Democratic for demographic. I blame the spell checker. It's getting too aggressive at changing the word, with often absurd results. So much for the robotics revelation revolution. See? — Bitter Crank

I had guessed that, but wanted to make sure.

And can we please stop using race as an all purpose term for difference we are going to disapprove of? — Bitter Crank

I would love to do that, but not many people would understand the difference. And telling them that they are being religionists might not work. If you want to change how people refer to other groups of people as races then you will have a lot of work to do.

There are only four races that don't exist -- white, black, yellow, and red. If you don't like yellow people as a group, you're racist, maybe. — Bitter Crank

How can you be a racist for disliking a group of people that don't exist as a race? :worry:

The only race I don't get along with are idiots, the rest of them I am fine with.

If you don't like Welsh people, that's quite sensible. — Bitter Crank

That sounds racist, or is the another name for it?
