TET: Going Off the Rails on a Crazy Train

[Thafoo]

You can't make me, you blithering blobfish.

Why did I read this in Boris Johnson's voice.

...

I see it now

Yankees > Phillies > Braves > Pirates > all

i like the Braves, but I happen to live near Boston, which is why I'm stopping at the Red Sox game tonight.

On a related note, my train just got into Boston, so I'm off for a while.
Have a good one NSG.

Bye CC. Good luck to the Red Sox.

Thanks Slem.

Since I seem to have become a role model, I would suggest to Slembana to watch Monty Python's Flying Circus. It did wonders for my sense of humour when I was younger. The reason why my English is somewhat complex is probably because it's not my first language. My knowledge of the English language is comparable to the monster of Frankenstein, a horrifying blend of education, subtitled TV shows, comics & books, miniature wargaming rules and not least of all the Internet. I also tend to use online dictionaries if I'm not entirely certain about the meaning of a word.

But... that analogy doesn't work. The different parts of Frankenstein's monster aren't that different.

I dare to suggest that my analogy actually does work, since all sources mentioned provided me with the parts of my personal knowledge of the English language. But I can see why the various 'data carriers' mentioned make said analogy a bit confusing. I'll try harder next time.

[Felix]

I've come to the conclusion that most NSers are very imaginative... or insane.

Of course.

Just need to set up the national team.

But firstly I have to make the rosters for all my club teams.

That'll be exciting.

I should have done that myself, but it's too late anyway.

I remember when you had another puppet in Esportiva - Alta Patagonia. Why did you let it CTE?

Yep.

Its never too late! Look at Gaveo!

Eh, no clue. I moved it to Via Peach, my puppet storage region.

I've noticed that the people with best grammar are often the ones who aren't native speakers. It's interesting.

You tend to make the extra mental effort when you haven't actually grown up with the language that you try to make your own.

ATL the best! Woot!

It's on Fox at 1pm, so watch it because I'm there.

Ciao.

Every age is good silly.

Ohh. Right... I forgot...


How are you Gav?

Silly head.

Wonderful, kinda sad that my dad is leaving for Japan but happy it's my mimi's birthday.

You?

So...

Idiotic teenage girls who text with numbers and bad grammar...

...are professors of advanced English?

I know. I do it too. It's more interesting that some of the native speakers don't.

[Divair]

I understand. I was trying to be intelligent and Hurd-like. After all, Hurd's posts are generally rather good. He uses complex English, and very rarely posts one-liners. He's quite a good role model.

At least you're not Shakespeare.

[Hurdegaryp]

Is that the best you can do, Thafoo? For shame! Kindly remove yourself from the premises, don't make me call security.

You can't make me, you blithering blobfish.

Bonus points for wordplay, but be very, very careful. Next time I'll have to redirect you to a Vogon poetry reading session.

[Slembana]

You're doing well in the WC, Gav. You're 4th, which is good for a sub-100 team like yourself.

I'm also 4th. I'd regard that as good, as my team aren't that good.

I'm sure that won't be necessary. Thaf will behave from now on. Isn't that right Thaf?

[Felix]

Yep.

Wait, I am fourth?

It all comes down to how the language is taught. Here, grammar and spelling in english is primary school stuff, while secondary school is for drilling poetry and Shakespear into your head. As for french, grammar and spelling was the main aspect of the subject right up until graduation. It's why most people sound terribly formal when speaking a second language.

Yes they are.

[Hurdegaryp]

Don't mind if I do, darling. Have you finished vomiting your entrails yet, or can we expect even more bile? We sure do love the bile, keep it coming!

Don't worry. I'm sure mistress will soon let you rub your tiny caged dicklets against your rubber wipe-clean baskets for as long as you need.

Urgh. That awkward moment when I'm a fundamentally better person than you.

[Slembana]

*disappears for a second*

Yep. I looked in the Scores Thread. I think you said that you were second earlier in qualifying.

You've done well this campaign, Gav. I hope that you get into the CoH, and do even better in the next cycle.

Is she cray cray?

[Zokoria]

Hi guys. I smell this thread and it smelled really good.

So anyways, let me tell you about Homestuck. (It's 4/13 today, which means, it's Homestuck's 4th anniversary).

I'm really becoming addicted to the webcomic, aside from ponies...

The proper use of formal English can sometimes be a distinct advantage, since it gives readers the illusion you're a more civilized person than the dimwits that made the mistake of confronting you in an internet discussion.
