Oh boy, ILX! That's where I'm a viking!..?

wow there really is no argument safe from the ILXian penchant for looking down at others via the "I'm more tolerant/open-minded than thou" avenue. btw deej's interpretation is 100% consistent w/option B people's.

haha like looking down on others is a trait peculiar to ILX

the only thing worse is looking down on those who look down on others xp

dan, looking down at others via the "I'm more tolerant/open-minded than thou" avenue is = ILXian penchant

right, dyao. and the only thing worse than that is what you just did right there.

congrats on interpreting a joke correctly!

haha

dyao that post almost redeems you for thinking that recycling this idea for ilx was a good idea

dan, looking down at others via the "I'm more tolerant/open-minded than thou" avenue is = ILXian penchant

also, wrong - hippies have been doing this shit for forty fucking years

also, liberals

fuckin libs

god I was so tempted

hippies doing it doesn't mean ILX doesn't also have a penchant for it. god i hate the internet.

i've only read the past maybe half page and have no idea what this thread is even about, but KIU anyway guys!

granny dainger, world weary internet traveler

iatee even surely your good liberal self must own that liberals are among the most condescending assholes in the history of the world

c'mon man I vote the same way as you do but you gotta come correct

yeah sure lots of left-wing people ("liberals") are condescending. so are lots of right-wing people. so are most americans. barack obama isn't more condescending than george bush. there's no reason for people on the left to be buying into stereotypes about 'liberals'.

okay this is the point that makes me wish I hadn't started this thread

do you guys have any opinions on your preferences for vietnamese food versus portugese food while you're at it

actually can we make this into a race thread instead of a politics thread

why do some black people viking at things that white people don't?

ok everybody in the # of posts it takes to get iatee defensive about liberals being unfairly stereotyped, pay me, the answer was "one"

srsly what did this thread start as i'm at work and i really wanna know

btw actually yes, actual leftists should always note that liberals condescend terrifically to the dumb ol' masses who just don't know what's good for them & have been doing so forever, this has been a problem with liberals since time immemorial & if you don't believe me, hasten thee to a couple of state central committee conventions - the only way you can miss this indisputable fact is if you are the knight errant for the democratic party, protecting their name from unfair besmirching far & wide

dude you know I'm the democrat-apologist not the 'liberal'-apologist. liberal's an empty pejorative term that can be used to describe you, me, both, or neither of us.

that's where I'm a liberal

do you guys have any opinions on your preferences for vietnamese food versus portugese food while you're at it

never had portugese food except for the portegese bread I bake ("broa" it's called), which is OK - unless my impression is wrong, portugese isn't the most vegetarian-interesting cuisines

iberal's an empty pejorative term that can be used to describe you, me, both, or neither of us

I really don't think it is - it's essentially the political equivalent of "hipster," i.e., if it's a phantom, it's one everybody's seen enough of to know that they want to avoid it

portuguese sardines are pretty awesome imo

also if you want to shift terms I'm just as comfortable saying "the Democratic party is incredibly condescending," which was true thirty years ago & has nothing to do with the president

xpost lol I have a line about portugese sardines in the chorus of a recent song

btw dyao you need to start an actually good thread to make up for this bullshit

hyao dyao can i ask politely that u change yr screen name

whiney haven't you done something similar to practically every other poster on the board including me?

lol does my pooping before showering thread not count, where do I stand in terms of ilx thread karma

whiney: 'hipster' :: j0hn: 'liberal'

dyao: 'viking'

whiney haven't you done something similar to practically every other poster on the board including me?

sure, but i've been told ILX policy dictates we're allowed to ask politely, no questions asked

dyao you're not offering that thread as proof of ability to ask a decent question I hope

no prob whiney ;)

I lol'd

I've no idea why this thread has 500+ answers, but I just wanted to say I've always thought it was the first option, because...

A) the way Ralph pronounces the sentence, and

B) a bullied little kid dreaming of being an actual Viking isn't much of a gag, but Ralph being a "Viking of sleep" is pretty funny.

If the second option would be true, it would be a rather bad joke.

a bad joke on THE SIMPSONS?!?!?!?!?!?!

At that point Simpsons still had good and clever jokes most of the time.

just wow, tuomas

dudes it's pretty bad when a Finnish dude who doesn't know how to use Google has a more nuanced understanding of the English language than you.

has the lex weighed in yet? pinefox too much to hope for.

can i get a list of all the option a people so i can shun them plz

lol i was just thinking that this thread really needed input from tuomas

dudes it's pretty bad when a Finnish dude who doesn't know how to use Google has a more nuanced understanding of the English language than you.

actually & I'd think you'd know this, that Tuomas favors that interpretation is kinda the nail in its coffin, ain't it

right, his understanding is obv more nuanced, rather than less complete.

obv
