This thread has gotten out of control... and such and whatnot and soforth.
This would, indeed, have to be the most gratifying and delightful threads one has seen posted in said forum for many a day!
I would just like to add that my partner speaks with gentlemanly wisdom in such words often - indeed, he never uses a few words when many suffice, thereby bringing his unique brand of culture to the Antipides.
Well, I for one like eggs. I hope that most of you feel the same way as I because they are quite delectable.

Alright, alright, I got off the booze part (God you people are impossible) but I an't speaking like I got a fork up my nether regions.Quote:

My good fellow, you have not only used a contracted word, a practice that has several times within this thread been pointed out as ineloquent, you have also misspelled it, leading me to believe that your nether regions require several forks in them. And should there be no forks nearby, might I suggest placing your banana up there instead?Quote:

If I was asking for a banana, it's obvious that I don't have in my vicinity a banana! God, you can speak all posh if you like, but it doesn't make you smarter!Quote:

Brilliance perhaps to the most heathen of beasts. In my own most humble of personal opinions, undaunted by neither history nor fear of rejection and ridicule by my fellow men, I surmise that user "Vorpal Blade" hath posted the most astoundingly humorous series of eloquent words that the eyes of men have ever had the fortune to see. Both my cerebellum and my torso shake with great quakes of racous joy, almost as if I had partaken in too much of this poorly worded "booze" which has been spoken of, even though verily I had not!
It's elementary, my dear Watson!
Why, good chap, I find that particularly amusing.Quote:

Why have we sent such a glory to the realms of oblivion, my good and dear sirs and ladies? What wrong have committed, and a heinous act not unto a higher, supreme being, but to that of ourselves? Why have we partaken of this terrible degradation of our linguisitic and communal aspects?

I have found this forum to be highly amusing. Whatever happened to the speech that we once so often spoke? Why and where has it gone, my friends?
If one knew the answer to that, one would know the underlying answer of many a problem in this sad world of ours. Verily hast thou spoken against the human race, and verily is thee right in doing so, for the heavens hath never intended for our means of conversing to digress to such primitive levels, but to remain eloquent. A covenant that was made long ago by our forefathers, that we hath so readily forgotten. It is as if the poisoned tongue that we converse in today was fated to be as such, and is fated to digress further, following the natural path of existence.Quote:

Thus, words are shortened, contracted, misspelled, and rendered obsolete after years of nonuse. That is to say, gentlemen, that people today are unfortunately too lazy to speak like normal human beings like ourselves. They instead say only what is necessary to communicate, often resorting to nothing more than grunts and growls, the sort one would expect from mere animals.
Vorpal Blade, I believe you are onto something. It would appear according to your theory that while our technology may continue to progress to extents never imagined by those eons ago, our lack of mentally applying ourselves would seem to imply that we are digressing back to that from whence we came. The first of mankind to have populace on this earth spoke in the tongue of the animal, with no more than grunts and growls as a way to communicate. Since that is where we are heading currently, it would appear that we most certainly are returning to the mental state from whence we first originated. Oh dear. This means I must find people that are of the same mental application as me, else I lose my sanity. Anything less would be no better than the depths of hell. I must now entreat ye to find men of this calibur. Godspeed to all ye who seek the light and the way of truth.
