Seanachai Posted May 5, 2001 Share Posted May 5, 2001 A quick shake of the head to both Aitkin and Abbott. Your attempts at Pawbroonian prose do not capture the original at all well. David, be careful over the next few days, your attempt might have resulted in pulled groin muscles. Sorry, gentlemen, but your attempts sounded like the standard 'running Mensch's posts through Babelfish to translate them into English.' Quaint, but nothing like the original Pawbroonian. Though a despicable and harsh man, the cad Lawyer has correctly characterized Pawbroon's prose as unique. We will accept no substitutes. And, in tribute to his perceptions (however loathsome he might be in general), I will soon attempt something on the 'Pool in a style he might recognize. But for now, I must send a setup to the man desperately dog-paddling in the shallow end of the gene pool, Stuka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With some, you must simply hammer home the nail and have done. It is my keen ability to distinguish those which require a more lengthy, rambling treatment from those that deserve the bon mot that raises me above the beasts. Some never do aught in their discourse but meander, and others limit themselves only to the mot. The former rarely come to any good point, and the latter rarely achieve the mot juste. It is only those like myself who, through the proper balancing of all the elements, achieve breakthroughs of both pith and wit (pith Bauhaus, pith and for Gods love, stop that damned giggling).

It contains its own parody. Satire is at once profane, and redundant. Initially it rattled against my monitor like a handful of marbles, hurled by a spiteful toddler. Yet I was drawn inexorably into its considerable depths, and I'm not sure I have fully emerged yet. To those who take language seriously, this is a major paradigm shift, on the order of falling out of the Time Tunnel into the middle of the Terror. It is linguistic guerilla theater, and an unfair tactic while we still have an extant game on the books. This is how England felt when first viewing the work of Turner- queasy, challenged, disoriented, undone. I had to have some sherry and go for a walk. Perhaps he should cut off his ear?

PawBroon Posted May 5, 2001 Share Posted May 5, 2001 What with that sudden bout of literary sycophancy? I'm French, which could only mean that eventhough I had been gifted with an all around general purpose handsomeness, while cursed with a priapic appendage only suited to fend off the foreigners while retaining their women, it has nothing to do with writing skills. You could always try to provide a bucketful of ink, no matter how willing, no matter how mobile that swivel mounted device is, it is still neither a quill nor a calamus. We left calami to foreigners for they are calamitous... Boy am I proud with that last part! I'll have to go fondle with myself under the shower since it got me in love with my English prowess again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you're wearing dick under your kilt up North, you will most certainly end up with what is quite aptly described as a Blue Ribbon. The idea of being gifted while retaining a blueish and shrivelled shrimp is a Scottish concept. All those McShrunken lads deserve a Purple Heart really...

Lawyer Posted May 5, 2001 Author Share Posted May 5, 2001 So you are Fakin' Achin' and not a real Brit at all. Real Brits call everyone of Indian subcontinent heritage a Paki. Perhaps you are just Mace posting in feigned anger from a remote server in England. Maybe we need a few more trivia questions to identify infiltrators so they can be executed by poisonous gas generously supplied (like it or not) by Joe Shaw. How much does Fergie weigh now? (trick question) Is Prince Edward gay? (trickier question) What is bigger than Paul McCartney's ego? (unanswerable question until quantum numbers theory advances for anothe 50 years) etc. etc. etc. Sorry, Achin'. Off you go to Sir Shaw's Gaseous Emporium for extreme termination. Any last words?

Mace Posted May 5, 2001 Share Posted May 5, 2001 Err btw Lawyer, Quantum mechanics is the study of eensy teentsy minute things (like Stuka's thingy), Cosmology is the study of bloody immense thingies (Seanachai's posts). I think you should be comparing Paul's ego to Cosmology. Don't thank me, it was my pleasure! Mace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, come to think of it, jd does look a little like Raymond Burr, or is it Heinrich Himmler? They look so much alike. You're just jealous because lawyers make money without creating wealth. But bloodsucking has proven to be a successful survival strategy for leeches, mosquitoes, and other species. Why change a good thing? BTW, your past comment about my wanting to be President, and therefore I should know the difference between India and Pakistan, is false. George W. Bush has never bothered with such trifles, and he is (more of less) President. Voila! Is this a great country or what?? I made a typo on "more or less" to read "more of less" and then realized it was the Hand of God guiding me to a more accurate expression of truth. So I left it. Moreover, I do know that India has great food and beer, whereas Pakistan does not. Nor, from what I read, are Pakistani's any fun to party with unless you have an AK-47 with lots of ammo to fire off. It's the only country where one goes from President to death sentence and back again as a career path. Plus, everyone in India is named Patel, and soon everyone in Britain will be named that too.

Mark IV Posted May 5, 2001 Share Posted May 5, 2001 Nonsense, in the Peng Thread! We cannot have that. Nor can, nor should, we have tri-tip roasts, nor topplements, nor kaniggetts, nor thingies and sheep. Instead we should be at the forefront of the movement to re-equip the US Army with all BARs, M1911 .45 pistols, and every man in a shiny new Pershing tank. Helicopters, phooey. We didn't need no stinkin' choppers at Normandy. The minute we got into helicopters, we started losing wars. Anyone else notice that? Regards to Prince Patel, btw.
