InfestedKerrigan Posted August 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 1 hour ago, andy said: I heard an anecdote that links the 'Nimrod' decent to insult to Elmer Fudd. In one episode, Bugs Bunny called Elmer Fudd a 'Nimrod' as a reference to his hunting, however it was interpreted as an insult to his intelligence... not sure if it *started* there, but I'll bet it had an impact. So with that episode, and Bugs trademark sarcasm, I believe the intent of the writers was sarcastically saying Elmer is "such a great hunter, hyuk, hyuk, hyuk eyeroll." Elmer Fudd himself is a pun. A Fud is both a rabbit's tail(always following the rabbit), and a moron (or 'worse'). But as you said, surely, it had an impact due to misunderstanding of the word. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd never heard 'fud' used beyond 'Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt' -- it'll be useful in Scrabble and Quiddler, if nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 Happy Birthday to @Nick The Bad Gamer! Ordo site says it's your birthday. Also says you've not logged on since 2012, but as a random thought, Happy Birthday! I hope it's a good one, where ever you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a nark? I had no idea. In fairness, I've never had a clear idea what he does...aside from dress as a police officer from time to time and sometimes give me practical legal advice. Was it nark or narf that Pinky says? Both maybe. I think we should get him a Pinky shirt... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestRider Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 An inverted version of The Music Man, where the guy who comes to town is all about glorifying and promoting crime and gang activities. "Seventy six Bloods and Crips led the big parade A hundred and ten Latin Kings right behind Followed by rows and rows of the finest Mafiosos And thugs, of every shape and size!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt. Rock Posted August 15, 2018 Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 A hypocrite isn't someone who learns from their mistakes and adapts their viewpoint accordingly. A hypocrite is someone who says/believes something but continues to act in the opposite manner, or believes that their held beliefs don't apply to themselves or their group. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's some middleground there, where the personal realizes their mistakes, but can't figure out how to change them for the future. Or a situation where they did identify and create a theoretical solution for the future, but the situation hasn't shown up again for them to put it into practice.

Guest Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 Been cracking up reading profiles of some of the more politically incorrect super villians: http://villains.wikia.com/wiki/The_Russian http://villains.wikia.com/wiki/Black_Talon http://villains.wikia.com/wiki/The_Holy and then this one I just find funny because he's just so out of date: http://villains.wikia.com/wiki/Flag-Smasher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 I don't really see how any of those are politically incorrect. I mean, compared to someone like The Mandarin or something. Also amusing that half of the ones you listed were created by Garth Ennis. Also, on hypocrisy vs. learning from your mistakes: It's one of those things where there's very little difference when viewed from some angles, but a huge difference when viewed from others. The latter is a process that involves changing who you are, to one degree or another, while the former is just a state that a person can continue in indefinitely.

Guest Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 Netflix clasifies Star Trek the Next Generation as "Retro TV" Really makes me feel old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckman Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 o.0 Because you were around when it was on originally? I mean, you watch Doctor Who and it is older. Some of the things that make me feel old (includes stuff that made me feel old at the time which may have been a while ago): The day I realized that none of my students had been born when Star Wars came out. And none of them will be able to see a version where Han shot first. The day I realized that a lot of the techno music I listen to is older than most of the people here. The fact that James Bond is no longer about exotic locations and activities because we're so jaded about everything and now it is just a themed action movie. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 I'm not actually sure when STNG came out. I just grew up with re-runs of it on WB. But I still identify it as being from my childhood. Kinda like how my mom identifies Wizard of Oz as part of her childhood, despite it coming out much before her time (it just was on TV alot when she was a kid, apparently they had an annual showing of that film on TV which was a big deal for people of her generation).

Romans832 Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 It's so Bizarre to talk about "being old" The first time it hit me was when I asked a friend to help me at the Clark County Fair's BSA Booth and his buddy asked me how long I had been in Scouting: *does math* "longer than you've been alive"... Or the time someone asked me how long I've had my Eagle Rank for.. "Uh... longer than you've been alive" 😞 Those have been mind benders for me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think these are 10 things that "should" require zero talent, but it's actually rather uncommon to see a single person with all of these. And the ones that single person does have, often require great effort to maintain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
