I didn't realize Rogerborg was a Blazing by georgeha (3.00 / 0) #1 Tue Dec 30, 2003 at 12:26:08 PM EST
Saddles fan.




Yup. by ObviousTroll (3.00 / 0) #3 Tue Dec 30, 2003 at 12:40:28 PM EST
I'm a little sensitive to that movie, having once been sent to reeducation camp for comparing OJ Simpson's car chase to the scene where the sheriff takes himself hostage.

The pavlovian training was particularly severe. I still flinch at the site of Harvey Korman.

I forget who grabbed it, but the first sign that Something Was Amiss was a diary entitled something like "My First Homosexual Experience." I think Rogerborg on slashdot is still the real him, though.

He's a UK'er by Bob Abooey (3.00 / 0) #4 Tue Dec 30, 2003 at 12:45:02 PM EST
If I'm not mistaken it's something like 9:41 over there right now which means he's already passed out on the couch.

Unless he checks the site when he gets up to vomit before going to bed you'll have to wait until tomorrow for an answer.

But he's a non-drinking Scot by georgeha (3.00 / 0) #5 Tue Dec 30, 2003 at 12:52:54 PM EST

A Scot??? by Bob Abooey (3.00 / 0) #7 Tue Dec 30, 2003 at 01:33:06 PM EST
So that's different than someone from the UK, or is he a Scot from the UK or is there such a thing? I pretty much assume that anyone who isn't a USian is a Ukian, I suppose I should try to pay a little closer attention and all that.

This whole global community thing really fucks me up.

Scot = UKian by Cloaked User (3.00 / 0) #8 Tue Dec 30, 2003 at 01:36:23 PM EST
But UKian != Scot
(Damnit, there should be a symbol for "not necessarily equals")

However, georgha's clearly trolling us - a non drinking Scot? The very idea!

The symbols you're looking for by QuickFox (4.00 / 1) #20 Tue Dec 30, 2003 at 05:52:45 PM EST
(Damnit, there should be a symbol for "not necessarily equals")

The symbols you're looking for are ⇒, which means "implies" (you might use => if you don't have proper Unicode support), and ⇏, which means "does not imply" (you might use !=>).

Scot ⇒ UKian
UKian ⇏ Scot

Bah. Definitely time I brushed up on that stuff if I've forgotten something that fundamental. Bloody computers.

I think Scotts are the ones who say "shite" all the time while the Brits are the ones who say "Bloody 'ell".

You need to read more English Lit by georgeha (6.00 / 2) #10 Tue Dec 30, 2003 at 01:41:41 PM EST
You see, in the UK you have your southern English, the typical London posting drunkards that become the upper crust (managers), the northern English, who get amusement from rolling cheese, fixing machinery, drinking, and become the lower class (system administrators), the Scots, who are frugal and handy with machinery, though they have a penchant for sheep-buggery, the Welsh, who are all named Davies, and would con a widow of her savings to get get drunk and eat a pastie, and the Northern Irish, who like to throw rocks at Catholic kindergartners.

Mr. Borg is a Scot, which means he knows which end of a wrench to use, speaks in a terrible, unitelligeble [sic] accent, and fancies sheep.

Got it by Bob Abooey (6.00 / 1) #13 Tue Dec 30, 2003 at 01:48:23 PM EST
Dickens is a little too politically correct to really give you a well rounded look at the UK and he's the only UK author I've knowingly read. For instance, sheep buggery, he never touches the subject although I hear tell it's fairly common over there.

Hmmm.. well, come to think of it, perhaps he does talk about it but maybe he uses metaphors in order to sneak it past the editors. I'll have to do a little research into this.

Warmest regards,

It all makes sense now.  I've never seen it broken down so well.

One question, though: I thought the welsh all had names like Llewllyn and spoke with a lisp?

Davies is the most common, add Jones by georgeha (3.00 / 0) #16 Tue Dec 30, 2003 at 02:48:17 PM EST
and Llewellyn, and you've named 90% of the Welsh.

Where do I go to complain that by ObviousTroll (3.00 / 0) #21 Tue Dec 30, 2003 at 06:28:11 PM EST
my diary's been hijacked by a bunch of hard-drinking linguists?

It is the welsh that are more reknowned for their sheep buggery.

In the south you also have the distinction between the city folk, lazy good for nothing hoity-toity assholes and the country folk (from Norfolk, and the Westcountry) who are mistrustful with strangers and only like tractors and their relatives (a bit too much if you know what I mean).

Also bare in mind that all the Celts(Welsh, Manx, Irish and Scottish), the brave and true inhabitants of Britain universally want to throw off the chains of the viscious and oppressive Anglo-Saxon invaders.

Celts by Cloaked User (3.00 / 0) #27 Wed Dec 31, 2003 at 02:10:41 AM EST
Also include the Cornish - right down to the throwing off of oppressive Anglo-Saxon invaders.

In fact, when I lived in Cornwall, I had friends who would argue all night long that Cornwall is a separate country becuase - apparently - it never signed up to some treaty or other...

The article is gone now, but it was the lowest sort of racial flame bait.

All caps and bold, too.

Someone hacked my K5 account by Rogerborg (3.00 / 0) #31 Fri Jan 02, 2004 at 12:55:23 PM EST
Specifically, me.  Phage has it right, I gave it to psychologist, who chose to blow it on a cheap gag.  One one hand that was rather disappointing, but on the other, it confirmed my world view wonderfully.
