Someone has been nipping at the egg nog today!

What did the first message in this thread have to say (without using the same words)?

HarryT · 12-26-2007, 09:22 AM

That he'd got a 505 for Christmas and liked it very much

.

JSWolf · 12-26-2007, 09:24 AM

So why the need to use offensive language to say that?

HarryT · 12-26-2007, 09:34 AM

"Enthusiasm", would be my guess

like a kid in a candy store

Is that what he said? I read the post before it was taken away and gave up trying to comprehend it.

I personally would have preferred if you just replaced swearwords with something like [Deleted swearword]. I found that post quite amusing, even if it was a little bit ... aehm ... incoherent
That way half the post would have remained

Hmmm. Glad I got to read it before it was removed. More obscure than obscene. Great composers have mastered the medium before they break the rules. Not certain if the poster was joyfully stomping all over the language, for fun, in full knowledge of what he was doing, or if he just has his own English language variant, that works for him. Either way, it was entertaining ... rather like a word puzzle, without a set of rules ... hard to abide for long, but perhaps entertaining upon occasion. Ok ... edit that. Looking at his other posts, he seems to have an excellent grasp of the language. He was just having fun. I think someone said it ... enthusiasm.
Was interested in his worry about the flimsiness of the cover.
Was very happy with it, myself. Does he expect to be able to skim it around like a frisbee? Maybe I'm too insulated from the mainstream ... it might be a valid point. If this tech is going to become mainstream, with kids throwing it in their backpacks, and abusing it like an average textbook gets abused at school, maybe it will need to become more robust, or perhaps someone just needs to offer an alternative to the base cover ... a sort of ruggedized cover, that cares more about being invulnerable than being pretty, and light.

Hey, guys! I am back with a hot tip that has gotten me out of a lot of sticky situations. Ever been driving really drunk and gotten pulled over by a cop and gotten a DUI? Me neither, but, if I ever had this scenario happen, what I would I would do is have a whole bottle of hard A inside my glove-holder thing (the one in between the seats and not the one over in the corner) and then when the cop pulls me over I would turn off the car so that I am not officially driving it at that point and then grab my booze and get out and then chug it in front of the cop and his cop car cameras, so then they can't arrest me for a DUI because they can't prove which booze is the reason why I am drunk, and so while I will take the hit for the open container charges, there is no way for them to know how much I was actually endangering the lives of other people out the streets (if at all)! My friend did this and it held up in court.

Not only dumb, but this is obviously a troll. The best thing is not to post any responses to encourage him.

Not really! I was mostly trying to be irreverent.
