Goodkind XXVII: Welcome to the Yeard Reich

[Muttering Bill]

Ladies and gentlemen, I present for your review:

I don't even know why I bother responding to these things. Just when I'm feeling proud of myself for a good post, WLU comes along and smashes it into peices.

And I don't think any of you should attack anyone for spelling or grammar mistakes. You make enough of your own. I let a lot slide here.

I never really understood the point of that myself. It's just something to fall back on when you have to response to the argument at hand. But I think the point, this time, was just to highlight our 'friend's' hypocricy in starting us down the "no, you're spelling sucks" road. We should all keep this in mind:

...content is more important than spelling and grammar...,

_________

How on earth does a death-chooser like you earn a title?

Jealous?

To that I shall refer you to step 4:

Lemming membership in 4 easy steps:

1) Hate the Yeard

2) Post in the Goodkind threads

3) Read the Blog of Truth

4) Suck up to WLU until he grants you a title

It's all politics; you've just got to find the right ass to kiss. :kiss: ;)

(Now, Jaxom's probably going to tell me not to be 'that guy' who quotes his own post.)

I'm disappointed that no-one to date has commented on my X-Men reference. Sigh.

What reference? Sorry, not much of a comics guy.

You want to tell me you've never watched a kiddy show out of a desperate need to make fun of something?

And... umm.... enjoyed it...

I'M SICK!

SAVE MY SOUL! AND NOT THE SOUL OF THE FLAME, THE SOUL OF ME.

Yes, you are sick! The Soul of the Fire, actually :P

Richard Bond - Rise Up, Live Your Life and Let Everyone Else Die

Excellent.

The scary thing is that this could easily be the abstract of Tairy's next series. :leaving:

[mormont]

One Goodkind topic is enough, I think, especially since they're not substantially different. :)

That's why you shouldn't even try. I just add an insignificant little post or two each day, and then bask in WLU's greatness. :)

[theMountainGoat]

Thank you Mme Erzulie for voicing my opinion, I totally agree.

And bravo to Min Donner for another hilarious parody :rofl:

[Red Templar]

The Mord Sith advanced, and began torturing Richard in a rather sexy way with lesbian overtones. But soon they were overcome by his manly pheromones, and lay there passively like good women should. Richard soon dispatched them to wash the dishes and do the dusting, and he was back on the trail of Jagang.

Great post Min!!! You better get this bit above copyrighted before Tairy steals it for his next book.

[Jaxom 1974]

(Now, Jaxom's probably going to tell me not to be 'that guy' who quotes his own post.)

Totally. And don't be the guy who wears the shirt of the band you're going to see either. :P

Min Donner: I think that might be my favorite parody to date! Classic stuff! :lol:

It's always weird when someone pulls a different TG thread back from the dead after more than a month and suddenly it's morphed into the current thread. Always makes things weird. That's our mods. Choosing life! :P

I see Mme is no longer suffering from the "Jaxom Curse" since people are listening to his wisdom over the wickedness of the double post when I've been decrying it for a while now. I guess I've just still got the "Jaxom Curse". Bastards. :P

Alright, I'm confused now. I thought double posts were indicitave of real men?

No, it has since been decided that double posting is not cool. Editing is in now. :smoking: :thumbsup:

(Go read GOODKIND XXVI if you want to see the discussion about it - starting at p.16. No, I'm not giving you a link. What do you think this is, some kind of charity? :o It's probably not even worth it. Just follow along little Lemming. :) )

I see how it is now. I go on vacation and things get decided behind my back. This conspiracy must stop now!!!

ETA: Besides, I'm too damn lazy to edit.

I wouldn't be too harsh, Mr. 'Landed Knight without a Title (and Obviously Missing Some Celery as Well)'.

When the appropriate moment comes, I will choose Life by choosing a title of my own, thankyouverymuch. The moment simply hasn't arrived yet.

[The Pita]

Yesterday, I read the most celerious novel of all.

It was not fantasy.

It was Naked Empire.

Page 17 showed me the first speech, in which Richard said something that bored me to hell and I forgot.

When he killed the peace (I misspelled it peach but fixed it. We should make peaches a celerious fruit. The seeded version of celery) protesters, my thing rose from excitement (partly sexual), and Richard showed me the error of my death choosing ways. As the Prophet of Things Rising, I anticipate much rising in the future, due to almost rapes. My peaches level, however, has diminished last thread, with only 5 posts. To raise my peaches level, I must do what all good Life Choosers do. Murder WLU, word, and Myshkin, defile their corpses, and take their place. Because otherwise, a Slide might get me.

I'm afraid of Slides.

There's only 1 problem with this - WLU, word, and Myshkin are already dead, defiled, walking, posting corpses. How else can you explain the sheer sinisterness (is that a word?) of the "W" phenomenon?

Don't feel bad, I am the envy of many, many people. And I notice the effort, good for you!

Re:spelling and grammar

I never really understood the point of that myself. It's just something to fall back on when you have to response to the argument at hand. But I think the point, this time, was just to highlight our 'friend's' hypocricy in starting us down the "no, you're spelling sucks" road. We should all keep this in mind:

Irrespective of content, extremely poor spelling and grammar make people look like mouth-breathing 'tards and it's harder to take them seriously. It's the internet equivalent of showing up for a job interview wearing jogging pants and a pizza-stained t-shirt. Irrespective of qualifications or potential, the reality is that the first impression is not going to be a good one. If subsequent to this anyone can make up for it through phenomenal ability, experience or aptitude, or in the case of the internet, excellent arguments/proofs/references, they deserve congratulations on overcoming a tremendous disadvantage. In addition, not correcting ongoing basic mistakes when they are repeatedly pointed out to a person shows an unwillingness to learn (indicating a lack of respect for the audience) or inability (indicating the person is too stupid to figure out the difference between to/too/two, their/there/they're, who's/whose or its/it's. If the person on the receiving end of a poorly-spelled and grammatically incorrect argument can still take the post seriously and respond to it with logical points and reasoning, it's actually a credit to them, the receiver of the argument for being willing to look past the textual equivalent of plumber's butt and a t-shirt that doubles as a snack.

Content is more important than spelling and grammar, but you're not doing yourself any favours by not bothering to learn how to do all three properly. Impressions count! Icing, gravy and the cherry on top is if you can tear apart the spelling and grammar while addressing the flawed contents of arguments. This applies, naturally, to all the works of the Yeard - he's got spelling mistakes, incorrect word choices, poor grammar and irregular past participles, AND the contents of his books could not be more offensive if they were written on the tanned skin of a baby with fecal ink diluted with a date rapist's scrotal sweat.

(Now, Jaxom's probably going to tell me not to be 'that guy' who quotes his own post.)

Be that guy. Embrace that guy. Convince yourself that that guy is funny. Your thing will rise of its own accord.

What reference? Sorry, not much of a comics guy.

"Bamf" is the noise that Nightcrawler makes when he teleports. He's also a purplish-bluish colour, which I tried to capture with my choice of font colour. And thank you for asking :thumbsup:

In which case we could easily merge GK I through to the current into a single uberthread that brings about the death of the internet. But we won't. Think of the children? Where will they get their pornography?

That's why you shouldn't even try. I just add an insignificant little post or two each day, and then bask in WLU's greatness. :)

You know who's greatness I miss? Mad Moose. Where is that crazy herbivore? I still feel I shall never fit the breadth of greatness that is between his mighty antlers.

Thank you Mme Erzulie for voicing my opinion, I totally agree.

I'll concede that I go further than I should, but I hate him more than most methinks. I definitely think that posting on the board without a soul is in poor taste. We're too loaded to treat the big posters fairly, and the less objectionable ones, the reasonable ones, they just like the books and probably haven't swallowed the crappy philosophy. And we should respect that.

Alright, I'm confused now. I thought double posts were indicitave of real men?

That was last thread man, along with swearing and pants. Keep up!

See, that kind of attitude means I don't have to, or get to give you a title. Well played sir, well played! May my praise mean ashes to you, and taste of salt.

You forgot Wolf Maid, she beats us all. Plus, her avatar's totally hot.

Anyone seen Jaxom around? I haven't seen him lately, but I don't want to be the guy who PMs him, in case his curse is contagious. And what's that buzzing noise I keep hearing?

Oh...THAT reference. I knew that. Didn't know we were supposed to comment on it though. Whatever. Something like "ZARK!" would have been a more interesting referecnce, if not exactly appropriate to what you were trying to do.

So does this mean that we're not commenting on our 'friends' posts anymore? Yesterday, he put up a speech of Richard-like proportions that's just begging to be torn into.

(Edited for spelling; so WLU doesn't turn against my posts. :) )

ETA - I just noticed that every time I see the word 'Terry' now, my brain automatically changes it to read as 'Tairy.' I thought that was odd. Is anybody else doing this?

It's just as well, then. I never had much use for pants anyway.

Where the hell are my pants?

I seem to ask that question far too often.
