What is coberst?

I think he is an Al Q operative shoe-horning code into his speechifying. I believe he is calling for some kind of attack on a German Shepard rescue organization, but I could be mis-reading.

I think he's bi-polar, in the manic upswing cycle where noodling around with sophomoric concepts is disproportionately activating his reward mechnism. He's getting off on a self-reinforcing cycle of how awesome he is.

Coberst is TW's slightly more coherent older brother.

that's some funny stuff. reminds me of a guy i worked with at the car store. "supposably" was one of his favorites. this is the same guy who caused one of my idiot clients to storm out of the store offended. they swore he said, "god yer bustin my balls", when he said "gotta ask my boss".

he was some hick from rural PA.

Has anybody checked out his links? I did. Fascinating. Here's a little snippet:


Quote:
HOW DOES ONE LEARN CRITICAL THINKING?
READ
Nonfiction books, persuasive essays and articles, etc.

WRITE

Anything, but especially persuasive essays.

-snip-

ENGAGE IN ANY ACTIVITY THAT REQUIRES ACTIVE USE OF ONE'S MIND
Things to do: read, write, play chess, discuss current issues and controversies objectively, argue for a reason or to reach a conclusion, engage in political lobbying, question authority, attempt to change the status quo, etc.
Things to avoid: watch TV, gossip, engage in mindless disscussion, argue pointlessly, listen passively, accept the status quo, etc.
Is that not the best use of etc you've come across in a while? :P

I think there is some connection between coberst and effluvia which has been voided by Chuck Norris, but I'm not sure.

Glad I wasn't drinking anything when I read that.
