Non Footy Chat Thread II

[Gary Gutful]

It's irrelevant whether it's true or not. You've shown yourself to be an ignorant dickhead regardless of your implied profession. That's how you'll be judged, not on what you claim to do for a living.

It's like how I claim to be a professional analyst. It has no meaning (other than for the purposes of humour), because people can see my analysis here in the forum. If they think it's shit they will decide I am either not an analyst or just a useless one.

Anal-yst

That's because some of us have knowledge of a topic while others just wish they did. That's how you end up with arguments.

Yeah but you have a history of posting about the LGBTI community in a derogatory manner. So whilst you may have served in the ADF (thank you for your service, Sir), I regard your contribution today as having cognitive bias. Soz.

Do I really? I call your bluff here, because of the little I know (there's a wealth of lesbians in the army) of the LGBTI 'community' one thing I do know is that there is no monolithic community any more than there's a straight community. When minority spokespeople describe themselves as a community it's to influence politicians and businesses that they will vote/spend as a bloc in order to reward favourable behaviour. That's not a real community, it's an interest group.

And while I hold derogatory views of all interest groups, I'm sure I've never posted about the LGBTI interest group 'in a derogatory manner'. Because I am aware of the right things to say about LGBTI merkins, just like how I will tell everyone I voted YES.

FFS you don't say nice things about LGBTI merkins. No more spin please. Getting dizzy.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Save your energy, merkin. I'm sure we have different definitions of derogatory. I'm sure in some quarters I would be pilloried for even denying there's a community.

 

[Gary Gutful]

I've never had anything bad to say about donut punchers.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

That's not true. I even referred to a group of lesbians as a 'wealth'.

No more spin please. Getting dizzy.

You're the one who referred to a large and disparate group of people with little in common as a 'community'. You're spinning so hard that spin's become part of who you are.

I am the centrifuge of truth and justice, merkin.

How about Walter Becker hey? Legend. Back when musicians were all ugly, talented merkins.

This is a great DVD. recorded Live in New York circa 2000.

 

[Gronk]

Never really understood this. Not having 1000 beers - the dressing up like a twit bit.

 

[84 Baby]

That's the worst Des Hasler impersonation I've ever seen

 

[Bazal]

It's a bit of fun

I would be interested to know how it started though. Almost all Mad Mondays seem to follow the same basic pattern

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Wasn't your daughter a little girl once Gronk? Dress ups are heaps of fun.

 

[Gary Gutful]

They've f**ked that up. James Graham was dressing up as Aiden Tolman.

 

[Gronk]

WTF with this idiot.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

He's a theatrical merkin.

 

[The EELiminator]

He's a theatrical merkin.

and he's in the middle of a pissing contest with another theatrical merkin
it's a schoolyard game of my dad can beat up your dad with tactical nukes god help us all

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Contrary to media hand-wringing, both merkins are calculated, and know exactly what they're doing.
