Author Topic:   The H-word

Resource Consumer posted 06-19-99 06:03 AM ET
I had another thought last night - amazing.
I believe that the H-word is too stupid to exist. What if ******** is really one of the forum regulars (I won't use V or N words) livening things up a bit?
Any votes on who it really is?
LoD posted 06-19-99 07:59 AM ET
Would that be you? Maybe you're triyng to cleanse yourself of any suspicion by posting this message, eh?

LoD,
I deny that damnable slur utterly. I know my spelling isn't up to much but even I couldn't lower myself to his level of illiteracy without years of practice.
LoD posted 06-19-99 09:42 AM ET
I know, I know, I was just kidding.
Maybe it's a foreigner?
*Hears the collective voice of his ancestors calling him "traitor!"*
Then again maybe not. I base my opinion on the paradox, that people who speak (and write in) some language (not their primary one) make less mistakes than some other people, who specify that language as their primary (by "other people" I mean hArDmAn's type). Strange, but true.

LoD,
You could be right. Although we should be careful in suggesting that H-MAN is from good old England (as in English). Or maybe he is.
There is scope for a forum poll - guess ********'s nationality. That's bound to stir things up a bit.
LoD posted 06-20-99 03:24 AM ET
RC (or should I call you your full name) - not necessarily from England, just from a country in which English is a primary (or one of the main) language.
LoD
Resource Consumer posted 06-20-99 05:41 AM ET
There are those who would argue that England and it's former colonies are divided by a common language.
LoD posted 06-20-99 06:03 AM ET
If I understood your last post correctly - come on, his vocabulary is to small to distinguish that.

LoD,
Your last point is incontravertible.
I am concerned, thogh, that suspiscious minds might read some meaning into my absence over the last few days and that, as far as I can see, of *******. My name is not yet clear, although my nid (for once is).

My "nid" - and the others. This is starting to bug me.
I'm going have to give something up here. Either posting (sounds of huge cheers all around, no doubt) or the other stuff.
I don't want to start a competition but we have a guy on this forum - the infamous TD - does he just take stuff once a day or what? What's wrong with tripping continuously? Or, in my case, tripping and misspelling continuously? OK, Trip, skim me one up - give me my last spliff and incinerate me. I'm gone caring.
Christ I'm freaked ignore my spelling.

But which country's (or countries' for you pedants) budget?

lmao... is this a private conversation between yourself and yourself, or can anyone join in? And if so, do they have to bring their nids with them?

Nell,
Please feel free to join in on occasions. As you can see I suffer prom post-post correctivitus which gets even worse when I'm as high as a kite.
I'm now down.

Nids ?
Resource Consumer posted 06-24-99 11:35 AM ET
Believe it or not, I don't have a clue what a nid is (I think it's French for nest, though).
I think I might have meant to type mind but made a complete mess of it.
Still, bring on the nids that's what I say.
Aredhran posted 06-24-99 12:20 PM ET
RC... yes, it's French for nest but it didn't make sense in the context of your post.
Wait... We're not here to make sense, are we?
I say, bring on the nids, and let's BLAH!
blah, blah, RC's nid, yadda yadda... Freddz blah TV in Sweden blah. Hardman, blah blah twats LOL blah.

Well, now that I've got an official invite, like... are you by any chance that master of high-as-a-kiteness, that suspiciously absent forum stalwart, our own Trippin' Daily, in another incarnation?
Aredhran:
How come you manage to have a better command of English humour than I have, when you're not even a native English speaker? I call that damned unfair...
Nell... growing somewhat curious about that oft-mentioned alleged French accent... hehe
PS: Where IS Trip? Free bonus level 3 tech to the first person who can locate him... or his flamethrower...

Nell. It's beach week in the U.S. and he said he just graduated. He's probable at Myrtle beach high as a kite.
Nell_Smith posted 06-24-99 06:39 PM ET
Oh. Hmmm... what's beach week? We Brits don't have these things... we don't have graduation from High School either, we just take our exams and errrr go home, never to return!
Mind you, your guess is probably pretty accurate... OK you can have a level 2 tech... how does Ethical Calculus grab you?
Nell... waiting for those PBEM turns that keep on not arriving... sigh
PS: HelloKitty... you're in serious danger of losing your Lurker status here...
HelloKitty posted 06-24-99 06:49 PM ET
I was wrong. He was at college open days.
I am done lurking for now (my time has freed up). Besides I always tell people to get involved yet I have been a dirty dirty voyer for months.
I'll return that tech Miss Nell.
All you Brits don't go abroad for fear of meeting germans on vacation.
Resource Consumer posted 06-25-99 05:09 AM ET
Nell,
I'm behind the plot as usual. I think other evidence suggests that I am not Trip in another incarnation. Interestingly, in the past week people have enquired whether I'm Trippin (I have to be careful to use the capitals here), and (by LoD and Valtyr) of being H-man. All strenuously denied.
Now I know drugs mess your head but I think psychosis is getting even worse without them.
HelloKitty:
It's not true. We don't go abroad because we are a linguistically crippled and isolationist people.

I'm afraid I must admit, I suspected you were *******, resource. I apologise profusely.
Resource Consumer posted 06-25-99 11:06 AM ET
Picker,
Thanks. It's nice to think that somneone at least believes I'm not you-know-who.
Aredhran,
Perhaps Nell was referring to your excellemnt summary of recent posts. 10/10
I don't think you've your in the queue for Alzheimer's. You know you're in trouble when you make as many spelling mistakes in a short post as I often do - go back and coorect it, then miss half of them and then misspell your correctional post. Note, though, the difference between daytime posts at work (sort of with it in a detatched sort of way) and the evening ones (well out of it in a completely detatched sort of way).

Nah, I was just kidding... there's a certain element of Trippin' about you (with or without the capital T? Hmmm ) but I was just joking.
Aredhran:
Well I'm just complaining because you're funnier than me. And that's not fair! I demand a re-count! I mean, this is funny:
"I say, bring on the nids, and let's BLAH!
blah, blah, RC's nid, yadda yadda... Freddz blah TV in Sweden blah. Hardman, blah blah twats LOL blah."
So, not an accusation of incipient Alzheimer's, just an appreciation of your superior humorous abilities!
Nell... temporarily lost for words
LoD posted 06-25-99 05:03 PM ET
RC: I never stated seriously that you were hArDmAn. I would never offend someone like that.
Nell: Cheer up. At least there's one person on this forum who has inferior humorous abilities to you - namely me.
