Sometimes ... just sometimes ... a conversation really should be killed before on of the participants commits intellectual suicide.

If anybody has a bright idea how to dig this idiot out of a hole ... I don't know ... something hilarious about funerals ... anything ... please throw it in here. Consider it a mercy killing.

Shambles is going about it all wrong if he wants his mortgage paying or some bumhole pictures.

Touche?
bollocks.

Have at you.

I stand by my response:

I effectively call you (and those with whom you agree) thick pricks and yokels for agreeing with the lack use of the indefinite article in this particular example, because you expressed an ill-informed opinion on this matter.

If, as has been the trend in the past, you prefer to delete this, or any related thread, then i'm sure some fucking internet super-hero out there will be able to drag something up from the vaults.

I really should get some sleep.

So you're calling the OED, the Robert and Larousse dictionaries, French wikipedia, and the authors of 80% of french-language websites returned by the french, swiss and belgian googles "thick pricks"?
And you're making this rather grand claim on the say so of some vietnamese bird you claim to know?

And it's me who's ill-informed?

Awesome. This might be the greatest example of internet hubris this place has ever seen.

I wonder if he understands the horrible irony of attributing the "yokel" slur to somebody born in Vietnam in the 1950s?

You came off as a right dickhead in that, for all the sources that Shambles quoted you kept on going "But this bird told me different".
Christ, she's not going to pay your mortgage based on you agreeing with her on this, did you even call her to make sure, how did that conversation go? "Hay, listen, yeah', there is this guy off the internet, yeah', and he said something but I thought you said something different, are you sure on that?" ?

Careful here
you're about 3 posts away from becoming the most laughed at bellend on QoTW, that's not a place you want to be.

Quit now, admit you might be wrong and if you play it right you might even be able to colour it as you giving the baby his bottle, with a bit of effort.

I think the standard exit strategy here is "Haha! Got you! I was joking all along! I love to troll the trolls lololol!"

It was a strange argument
its like watching a bad moot, where you know there are good arguments to be made but the advocate fails to actually explain what it is they are saying and just sort of flaps around awkwardly.

I don't know the first thing about French, but I reckon I could have won that argument against Blaireau by simply doing the following:

1. Stating my hypothesis in a sentence.
2. Stating the 2/3 points I was going to make in support of my hypothsis
3. Stating how the points support my hypothesis
4. Restate the hypothesis with the support in a sentence.

I don't think it was their lack of knowledge or even lack of a point (I'm prepared to accept that one form or the other is 'correct') that lost them that argument in spectacular style but I think it was rather a failure to adequately communicate their argument.

This is why we shouldn't cut legal-aid.

I think we should imprison people who are incapable of structuring an argument.
Randomly pluck people off the street, drag them in front of a mindlessly pedantic court and accuse them of something heinous. If they can't calmly explain why they're innocent GO STRAIGHT TO GAOL DO NOT PASS GO

Hang on ... Kafka already wrote that one, didn't he?

Once he's pwned his victims he demands a picture of their bumhole so that he can have a good old hand shandy over it
If they don't he'll continuously hound them round the boards besting them with his intellectual prowess, until one day sooner or later they crack and flee forever. I've seen it done several times; just send him the bumhole.

Well done for getting in a bit of a tizzy with someone and linking to it. You get 500 /talk points. You only need 100 more points for a blowy off Amorous Badger, or full sex with Mortal Wombat.

You actually get /talk points for replying to Shambles posts.
