#5 Ok lets clean him up before we send him back. 1) clean shave - beard and hair, 2) put a bullseye on his forehead.

Oh and his last meal could be bacon and beans :P

#6 Jordan didn't want him back, I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall in the teleconferencing over the wrangling of the Brits to get Awni Yirfas to take him back! My hunch is that the Brits promised to keep the kiddies and the wife and slide Jordan some welfare compensation!

I'm convinced your trying to get me to reveal how many degrees I have, but I will not bite!

#13 Geez. You can't even admit the obvious misspelling of a contraction? Posting a pointless load of BS text to obfuscate qualifies for trolling.

Honest neutral advice. Your posts make you look a fool. Admit mistakes. Engage people, instead of trying to sound witty. Witty you are not - at least in English. You may be a fucking laugh riot in phreakin' Swahili, but you are failing miserably here. Relax and make sense first. Snarkiness will probably come naturally later, when the language is mastered.

#14 lol! NO!!! Pray tell me, smn!!! How many degrees do you have? Gosh - how did you know the question that question was on my mind????

#20 It's lonely up here. but I will admit this for you 2b. I play chess with myself, with a mirror...looking at the other board only. Can you grasp!

#21 yeah, actually I can. The only person you could possibly hope to beat in a game of chess would be yourself.

#23 Wow, you almost nailed it 2b! The only person I could possibly lose to in the game is myself!!

#24 I think we should send them ALL back with a Celtic cross tattooed on their forehead, and "Jesus Saves" on each arm. Nothing else to worry about.

That's right. You got it. Your brilliance dazzles me. No one but you could lose to you.

#27 Thanks 2b, old Patriot, my sentiment exactly except I would brand an Eagle, arrows in claw in place of the Celtic cross.

#31 Raptor...Raptor, I've already indicated to phil_b and 2b that I'm not a troll, but a highly educated intelligent multi degreed smn; however sensitive that can be! Do you know how many HEART TICKS I've wasted responding to your cutting snipes?
Now throw me down a laurel leaf!

#33 Hey, guys - back off. Didn't you hear smn say s/he's an EDUCATED, SENSITIVE troll??

Makes all the difference, you know.

#34 We should stop gobbling up troll chum. Its off target and only plays to the trolls' deranged minds.

#35 No, no, no, bored!

smn said he had accumulated a bunch of degrees -- not at all the same as being educated. I speak as an expert on the subject, being happily educated but degree-free myself, and the offspring and sibling of the merry professorate, none of whom have yet gotten to the point of knowing more and more about less and less until they know everything about nothing at all. Although my mother did go to Med. School for her own amusement in Switzerland, and later acquired a doctorate in psychology by accident. ;-)

Seriously, smn, what have you studied? Do your degrees add weight to your opinions here, as the ones I haven't acquired do not, or were they just for your pleasure and pocketbook? I'm not asking to be mean, but because we seem to be about evenly divided here at Rantburg between those with academic backgrounds and those with degrees in Real Life (I, of course, fall into neither camp, and so am able to admire the achievements of both parties impartially).

#36 Careful, smn. If you are half as educated as you claim, then you are aware of the blood already pooling at your feet merely from tw posing her question. The rapier 'tis exceedingly sharp... pain will come later.

:D
