"Ignorant Git" is fine. "Bloody" merely adds the sometimes necessary emphasis. "Bloody stupid ignorant git!" is tautologous but acceptable in times of extreme road stress.

I'm not sure what JD's accent is like as I've never been to his part of Michigan (or any part!). What we need is for him to try them out on his neighbours and report back on their effect.

:D

jdclyde talking Geordie with an American accent! Grief, the tears are flowing with laughter!!

:D

...come over to the dark side of the Force! It is your destiny!!! :-)

we don't HAVE an accent.

Now if you go into the Upper, then they are a country all on their own and they will tell you the same. For a "yooper", you just need to watch the Jeff Daniels show "Moonlight in Escanaba". A good flick, but remember this is "yooperism", not the way true Michiganders talk!

I suppose I could start using bloody ignorant git. Would it be best with an intentionally cheese brit accent or in true clear spoken english? :D

that GG let this one slide? :O

"Getting old"? :p

A "twit" is an extremely mild insult but would be considered patronising if used seriously. Much more likely to be used in a joking fashion.

Gits are nasty and always male and not necessarily stupid. Usually you would expand on the insult to tighten the focus - "give the kid his ball back, you miserable old git", "buy a bloddy round, you tight-fisted git", "stop staring at my t:ts, you dirty git".

You'll need to cultivate a Michigan/Geordie accent. I'm not sure that Geordie is well-known over by the Lakes.

Practise a bit on these: http://www.bbc.co.uk/tyne/student/lingo.shtml

They have audio so you can get an accent in your mind for Gadget.

:D

Nope, wuss and wusserer are Geordie-isms. Wuss is worse and wusserer is worse-than-that!

I really would love to hear you try to pronounce anything with a Geordie accent though! Never mind what Neil says, it'll only be about half of my accent, I'm told mine isn't too strong; it mustn't be, people from other parts of the UK can still understand what I'm saying!!

As for "getting old".....right, you, bend over!! Now!! :D

:x

NicNi Maalb, Nesram of PennVK? No.

But Nicma Nialb, PennVK of Nesram, I can live with.

Come over to the dark side ... we have COOKIES

too small to see? Not this one my dear! ]:)

As for talking, not suppose to talk with a #### in your ##### (edited by the society of no-fun-ing-hood)

ben dover? I love when you talk to me like that my sweet! :x

talk with my mouth full .....I just sorta make...schlurping noises....and sucking noises...and suction-y type noises.....

But I'm far too polite to talk with my mouth full.....

Now - drop 'em, blossom!!

Time for a good........spanking!

GG

offering to let me try GG out! :O What a guy! What a Pal! Only a real friend would come up with an offer that grand! I don't know what to say! ]:) But I DO know what to DO! ;\

Come to Papa! B-)

I just KNEW you'd read that the same way I did!

And just for the record, no-one GIVES ME AWAY!!

(or stands me up, but we shan't go into that one either, Neil will turn DMambos' colour!)

:D

GG

Looks like more than one person has TWO Star Wars names..... ;)

yeah baby! (in best austin powers voice)

You said that like there WAS any other way that [b]I[/b] COULD have read that? ;\

Just glad I got the post in before you did! Would have RUINED it if you had tried to CLAIM that "no-one GIVES ME AWAY!!"

We KNOW that YOU do? or are you no-one? hee hee! :x

Hey! Where IS Mambo anyways? HERE MAMBO MAMBO MAMBO! HERE MAMBO MAMBO MAMBO!

Oh, I don't know...I actually get less arguments from them than from some of my end users.

Uh... do your voices have names? Hell, if they have a sense of humor you could even give them their own unique Star Wars names.

But I'm afraid that us_geeks_rule might drop that light saber on me instead of her/his foot. :)

it has to be reciprocated.

Yoo Hoo! Mambo! Where are you?

Ok, he's missing - everyone look for a bright red glow in the sky, he'll be underneath it again!

:p

GG

I was thinking more like "head" ...

And its 'HER' to you buddy ... Time you guys show the ladies some respect around here

]:)

Why would us_geeks_rule behead your foot with her light sabre just b/c you want to have some fun with your voices and give them pet names...Oh there's another reference to pet names (inside joke). To tell the truth, Old Guy, I'd behead myself if I had voices in my head. First nanobots, now voices...it's enough to make you crazy.

I understand that Pratt also means idiot, similar to twit. I thought it was hilarious when I was in London, I saw a building on the Thames with the name "Pratt" on it, especially since it is in a country where Pratt actually has a meaning in addition to being a surname. Made me think it housed a company where a bunch of idiots worked. :-)

There is a city near Montgomery, Alabama (I now live in Montgomery) named Prattville. Some might think it is well named. ]:)

My apologies! As I said in the direct email to you the other day I haven't been in the Discussions very long. I was pretty sure you were a "her" hence the her came before the him instead of him/her...(backing up, deeply bowed and groveling.)

Ooh I wouldn't want to do that, at least everyone up there knows me.

Us_geeks_rule keeps bowing and dropping the light saber on her foot and she threatened us with Darth Vader earlier about changing names...

...it's when you start losing arguments that you are in trouble

us_geeks_rule is too lenient with all the name changes. Probably because she started it! ;) I'm going to take over administration of the naming system and implement my own rules. And violators of my rules will meet with more punishment than a simple tap of a light sabre. Woe be to the fools who step over the line and cross over into the dark side! haha

See DMambo's post of Lamkin of Preparation H up on 12/02 and Us_geeks_rule reply #60. I tried to help DMambo with a loop hole and Ms geeks wouldn't let me... I think that was when she started swinging her light saber around too. And, you know how women are with a weapon... :) Just kidding.

Come over to the dark side .... We have cookies :x

]:)

Me lenient ???? .... The only person I am lenient with ... is ....hmmmmmmm .... I know .. ME :D

Anyone else who does not obey .... has to feel my wrath ...

]:)

I don't listen to me either.

Neil is in hiding at the moment and constantly logging onto TR through untraceable and often changing IP addresses just so you can not catch up with him. :)

I understand that he is living in mortal fear of losing certain parts of his anatomy for [b]Standing You Up[/b] and is way to scared to appear from his original user point. Before you really start with the punishment. :p

Any way I'm still waiting for a date for those photos. :^O

Col ]:)

Your going to love the name of one of the biggest real Estate places over here in AU [b]LJ Hooker.[/b] :p

Col ]:)

Chocolate chip?

come .... come .... come .....

feel your WHAT? :8}

Suprised that one got by the TR sensors! :O

lengthy discussions about starwars/star trek/STNG/StarGate/LOR/D&D, I find myself wondering.

Where is the line in the sand that separates "geeks" from "dorks"?
Can you be one without the other?
It it a bad thing?

Same thing. And fortunately for my well-honed and well-deserved reputation of being a really cool dude, I've said here many times in the past that I'm not a geek. I'm the anti-geek. I don't wear glasses and my pants leg reaches my shoes. I can't even spell geek. Therefore I am not a dork like all you geeks here on TR. :D

That separates ecentricity from insanity or for that matter geeks from dorks but someone who gets flaky at the sight of a snowflake probably already knows that.

[b]Dawg[/b] ]:)

Cross threading dawg ??? You have been a bad boy .... Spanking, do you think?? ;)

As for the line between geeks and dorks, jd ... I am a geek all right ... I wear glasses, but my pant legs (should I say, denim legs) reach my ankles ...

I was merely spreading the good word (2 good words actually .... STAR WARS) ..... and by doing so, trying to keep non believers like Mambo out and safe of the Impure Brigade (oops, cross threading again) ;)

]:)

Geeks know everything there is to know about it and analyze & discuss it until everybody else is sick of hearing about it.

Dorks dress up in costumes to go see movies.

They actually allowed him to appear in another movie?

get a lot of forgiveness because they are a good draw for the chicks.

Funny to see him have to turn himself into a gay prostitute to get drug money! How do you like him now ladies? :^O

You had better not let the [b]Trivia Geek[/b] Jay see your response as it just might upset him more than a little bit. :^O

Col ]:)

Maybe if we don't say anything he won't notice...

Ohio then?

Is it really a s***hole? :D
