It was silly, alright, but from where I (and perhaps you as well) stand, it actually means something.
Riiiiight...
This offers us insight in a fascinating, yet frightening possibility: that I (and you) have exceeded the status of 'mere Human', thereby extending my (our) mental capabilities, consequently making much of my (our) utterings seemingly unintelligible to those who have not reached this status.
Oh please. I think it's blatantly obvious by now that I'm a fool who probably just likes the sounds of his voice. Unintelligibility is a failure, albeit sometimes a positive failure. Personally I ramble to help me avoid alzheimers (JAMA 2002; 287: 742-748 if you want to look it up). I mean senility is better than that right?
I and Linuxboy are going to blow your mind
My mind is already blown. I don't need this linuxboy chap and you exacerbating my current state of ignorance. My interest is piqued, however.
]And which goal do you wish to reach with this attempt?
I think it's bloody funny. If I don't entertain myself, few people will. And then my Cheers ! will likely disappear. That's no good.
May I remind you...acoustic vibrations... misunderstood... very rare occurance to the receiving person? ...why you prefer using an onomatopoeic word instead of expressing your points using more commonly agreed on kind of communication.
Ok, I think I actually will answer that. Vibrations in the folds of the vocal "box" are somehow interpreted as language. That is really cool ! What happens when sounds are made that are caused by vocal vibrations and yet that are not received by language-processing faculties. That is, they engage some part commonly referred to as "imagination" or "non-cognitive perception" (see Diffey's treatment of this idea if you like). I think many people do not develop this over time since for many reasons, it is just not valued in this culture, presumably because it "doesn't sell" and is "hard to measure". What I do is talk to that part using literary methods with lots of imagery, expressive mataphors, or good 'ole onomatopoeias. Look, I could have wrote some extended treatise on the merits and demerits of your objections but why do that? Calling you a doodiehead....doodiehead seems like a better answer.
Despite your, only mildly amusing
Hey, at least they're that. In person, my wild gesticulations and unorthodox voice imitations seem to be more amusing. Or at least more nutty...
that was pretty fun. You're alright...
back to yesterday's post that I couldn't finish since the forums were down for me.
nuk,nuk,nuk, I crack myself up
A wise guy (gal), eh. Waaa woooboooboobooboobooo...
NOOOO!!! Do not bend to using lamer! I refuse to sell you the life until you can prove yourself more responsible and able to care for it!
Lamentable tongue, a thousand curses befall mankind. Thy mellifluous venom doth mocke me so in slow retreat from life. I grovel in your presence admitting death by own carelessness. My precious life, do not you too abandon me OH ! cruel estrogenical treachery. Thwarted again I am, a thousand curses.
well, not literally, but it sure sounds purty.
Erm. Perhaps if you realized that I no longer am "l337" but merely ?1340? (my 15 seconds of (in)famy are over ), good seller, my offer could again come under serious consideration?
Cheers !
