The Gorn Supremacy; stock AW1Steve v. geofflambert

[Xargun]

ORIGINAL: GetAssista

I saw a UniGorn once....

I heard this creature only manifests itself to people of certain status

You must be a true believer in the cause of the Gorn Empire (i.e. Jap fanboy)

[warspite1]

So is there a latest prediction for when this game is expected to come back to life?

Re: Warspite's comments about American use of "I could care less," I certainly grant you that is often used improperly. But if used properly, the unspoken end of that phrase is "but it would be very difficult." Sarcasm is a poor substitute for wit, but one must do what one can.

Best regards,

Everyone should be aware that, apologies to Noah, the first English dictionary was commissioned by King I Forget Who to Dutch lexicographers and it is they who first decided how things were to be spelled.
American English arose when the British captured New Amsterdam (now known as New York City) and the English speaking colonists in the New World were emancipated from the Dutch spellings.

Anyways, I've been real busy the past few days and I promise to get back to work on Monday. In the meantime you fellows seem to have been carrying on quite well without me.

But we need our Gorn overlord...

Sarcasm is a poor substitute for wit, which is a poor substitute for wry sardonic humour. Now before anyone chides me on my spelling, I'm a gorn and we spell things any flipping way we whish.

[geofflambert]

By the way, for the past few days I've had laryngitis, which makes ordering at a restaurant very difficult. In addition, even though I'm not in space, no one can hear me scream!

[Lowpe]

The Gorn lives!

But he doesn't play.[:(]

[witpqs]

The phrase was "I couldn't care less", but at some point lazy yutes corrupted it to "I could care less". Adding "but it would be very difficult" is a good way to turn their lexicographical laziness against them and possible cause them to return to the original version.

As for sarcasm, it was good enough for Doug so it's good enough for me.

You should have it easy to order at a restaurant: just growl. "Quick, throw him some meat!" [:D]

Hope it passes quickly.

Well there is that of course. Why would you take a universally known "I couldn't care less" and change it to "I could care less......" but forget to mention the last part of this longer, wordier sentence - with the result that you don't say what you want, and indeed what you would have said if you hadn't stopped using the time honoured approach

As for the idea that anybody who uses that phrase adds the last bit? Well I've not witnessed or heard it yet. Pointless and irritating.

That's worse than a centipede with Athlete's foot, or a giraffe with a sore throat.

I, for one, welcome our new Gorn overlord. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lcUHQYhPTE

Yes, under normal circumstances, I perform at the Met where I sing favorites from Cosi fan tutte and Cozy tutti fruiti. The florists are complaining.

Did Little Richard approve your rendition of Tutti Frutti?

[geofflambert]

My lawyers advised me I could just leave out O Rutti and get by. His lawyers haven't challenged yetti.

The Gorn (plural) have all manner of poor substitutes for wit.

Just remember, Brit-when it comes to honor, there's no room for 'u'. [:'(]

Uh-oh , lack of access to restaurant food could have dangerous consequences for the gorn ....

"Furthermore, this impatient, greedy attitude is responsible more than anything else for the excessive stupidity we find in the world. Just as such people have no patience to chew up real food, so they do not take sufficient time to “chew up” mental food." - Frederick S Perls
