We?

he's schizophrenic

Griff · 01-24-2008, 04:41 PM

Ah, I was thinking royalty, over-blown Executive branch and all that.

regular.joe · 01-24-2008, 09:09 PM

Maybe he has a mouse in his pocket or he speaks French. We?

Does anyone else find themselves wondering how UG speaks IRL? His sentence structure is so convoluted and sidetracked by impressive sounding words that half the time I don't know what the hell he's on about.

Neither does he.

I agree - I mentioned something about this in another thread. I can imagine him giving direction to someone and their head just spinning off as they tried to follow what he was saying.

If I had no idea what I was talking about, I'd actually be obscurantist. Such erudition and understanding as I have, you don't get to complain about. Not and stay honest, anyway. I like to stay honest.

To answer Lookout: somewhat more trenchant, perhaps, and as with most people, rather less organized. I've had stuff I've written passed around my old military unit as examples of clear and readable report writing.

No one has any business taking tw as a role model or a political advisor. That's the "we" in such acute question: most of the planet. Watching tw trying to do politics is like watching a thalidomide case try and play the bagpipes. There is that in his developmental history which prevents his ever being good at it.

That's just wrong. Thalidomide babies make great bagpipes.

Urbane Guerrilla · 02-01-2008, 01:25 PM

Lord, he apologizes for that right there...

I want a copy of UG's Thesaurus. It must be the unabridged edition.

Some wounds are so deep that scaring never goes away.

Urbane Guerrilla · 02-05-2008, 12:33 PM

You know, an abridged Thesaurus would be... dear me, what's the mot juste? Every bit as useful as an abridged condom.

I'll leave someone else the chance to comment on the scary wounds.

tw · 02-05-2008, 11:49 PM

UG now claims he needs an unabridged condom. I would have to see it to ...

lookout123 · 02-06-2008, 11:27 AM

I heard UG actually has a thesaurus tattooed on his junk.
