07 Sep 04 - 09:09 AM (#1265893) Subject: BS: Mudcat Misquotes! From: The Fooles Troupe I like the rather good thread on memorable Quotes from the Mudcat Forum. From time to time, what is sometimes seen when one's glasses are not clean (or are are empty!), or when one hasn't had that morning coffee yet - or after too many cups of, er well, coffee. Somehow the mind jiggles things around but adding or removing or swapping or substitution words, and what is seen is not what was written, or what the author intended. For example: "Personally I prefer to play and/or listen to the music than to have a good time." which is not quite what was actually there, and which caused me to stop and think, then realise that I had to read that again! What the original was: "Personally I prefer to play and/or listen to the music to have a good time." Robin |

08 Sep 04 - 11:07 PM (#1267296) Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Misquotes! From: The Fooles Troupe Thread titled "Children's Workshop". Just as well I read what the thread was about before I posted my brillant suggestions about making children - I could have got into lots of trouble... |

09 Sep 04 - 07:31 AM (#1267474) Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Misquotes! From: GUEST,Mingulay Surely, "making" children is frowned upon outside most Southern States and the Fens of eastern England. What's special anyway about children in Worksop. |

09 Sep 04 - 09:28 PM (#1268133) Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Misquotes! From: Little Hawk I'm glad you brought this subject up. foolestroupe, because I was once misquoted regarding something I said quite innocently about Spaw. Here is the quote. I'm sure you can find the obvious error in the text: "...except of course for Spaw. He is an incompetent, simple-minded, concupiscient wretch. He is vague, obtuse, vulgar, and lacks discrimination. His attempts at what he thinks of as ribald humor are akin to the noisy wallowings of a dyspeptic hog in a cesspool, guaranteed to offend while perhaps amusing in some small peripheral way. He is silly, repetitive, pompous, licentious and vain. He bores more effectively than an auger. To peruse his inane ramblings is an experience similar to copulating with a dead porcupine, in that one suffers freqent annoying pain while attaining absolutely no personal satisfaction whatsoever. To call this man "human" in fact would be to stretch the term considerably beyond its usual compass into hitherto unglimpsed realms of sheer blundering idiocy that would have caused even the Three Stooges to feel a shuddering twinge of envy. In short, the man is a fool, a prat, a knownothing. He is the blither in blather, the riff of raff, the null of void. He makes Neil Young sound lucid! And that is why he is universally despised. It has nothing to do with the nude windsurfing incident at the marina. Nothing whatsoever." |
