So glad to know that I'm still liked.

Sometimes I worry.

Egets, you mean, not Imp-chan.

Why did you even type that? It should be immediately obvious.

For the benefit of the unlearned.

So the guy's driving down the road in the country, far from home, and this pick-up with an old farmer in it turns right in front of him and he broadsides the pick-up. Fortunately, neither was going very fast, so they both walked away from it. The guy is railing at the farmer when the sherriff drives up and tries to defuse the situation.

"Jess," the sherriff says to the farmer, "It seems that this is your fault. Why did you turn right in front of this gentleman?"

The old farmer looks surprised, shakes his head, and says to the sherriff, "Now, Dave, EVERYONE knows this is my driveway and I always turn in here!"

Benefit of the retarded, you mean. And your example is not the same thing, as shown here:

Yep, but it's not worth the words to do the init on eget. She wouldn't get some of the good stuff anyway. The art would be wasted. If Insane wants to do it then GFI.

I don't think I get the joke. Does it rest in the ambiguity of the phrase "turns right in front of him" (that is, whether the farmer is turning right and happens to be in front of him, or whether the farmer is turning directly in front of him) and therefore the ambiguity of the farmer's location respective of the out-of-towner, or does it rest on the farmer's expectation that everyone in the world knows where his driveway is, or does it rest on the implication that the out-of-towner was actually on the farmer's driveway (which I can't tell whether or not is supposed to be implied)?

#2 is correct . . . "the farmer's expectation that everyone in the world knows where his driveway is . . . " and I'll work on the grammar for the next joke.

Eh, it's probably a combination of 1) I tend to overanalyze things and 2) I was really tired the first time I read through it.

I think in egets' case, it isn't so much that he has poor grammer, but rather, what he says just doesn't make sense.

In order to have bad grammar, one must first start with a coherent idea. I do not believe we even have that.

Your life is a lie. What you perceive as self is merely the writhings and black machinations of the maggots that feast within you. Your blood black tar, your eyes the crystallized secretions of undead bivalves, your flesh the matted remains of a cypress swamp. You are a golem of rot and decay.

Logic and clarity are both too much to ask of such a creature. Leave it to its end.

So, I would ask who if anyone here plays Nexus War. I saw a character named after a certain Cap'n Xander Kittysnoggins wandering about... it was somewhat startling. The worst part, of course, was that I barely had time to make a comment on it before being driven off by enemy paladins. :-?

Used to have an account but then I found it to be the most singularly unplayable game in existence. And I excel at unplayable, non-graphic games. I might restart an account just for the hell of it.

Sorry. No clue who it is.

You have no idea what unplayable is.

Let me rephrase that: I found it to be the most singularly unplayable multiplayer game in existence that can in any way still be played by someone who can't code.

Or someone with the ability to actually string a sentence together.
