― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Monday, 10 April 2006 15:57 (twenty years ago)

I think he may acually be referring to the Moran family of Greenville, south Carolina.

look i dont know what all the arguing on this thread is about or whatever and frankly i don't care. i get the sense that some people ITT are talking shit about america and i just felt like i needed to make it clear that AMERICA IS THE #1 BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD and if you don't like it, then perhaps you ought to go to iraq and see if you like it there

― ath (ath), Monday, 10 April 2006 16:05 (twenty years ago)

Jel, stop ruining the fun.

― Miss Misery xox (MissMiseryTX), Monday, 10 April 2006 16:06 (twenty years ago)

It's too early for lunch here. Let's keep going with the ad hominem attacks. I was just starting to like this thread.

― martin m. (mushrush), Monday, 10 April 2006 16:06 (twenty years ago)

I like how that wigger ethan uses "yankee" as pejorative to set himself up as this unassailable authentic southern self-made man.

― Fight the Real Enemy -- Tasti D-Lite (ex machina), Monday, 10 April 2006 16:09 (twenty years ago)

Jon I would call you a yankee too. Because you are. :)

― Miss Misery xox (MissMiseryTX), Monday, 10 April 2006 16:10 (twenty years ago)

Maybe it was addressed to Caitlin Moran and family, in which case I can't help but agree with the guy.

― My Psychic Friends Are Strangely Silent (Ex Leon), Monday, 10 April 2006 16:10 (twenty years ago)

Yankee GO HOMO!

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 10 April 2006 16:11 (twenty years ago)

You're not helping.

― My Psychic Friends Are Strangely Silent (Ex Leon), Monday, 10 April 2006 16:12 (twenty years ago)

embers is a fast food restaurant.

Embers is hardly a fast-food restaurant. More like a low-tech Perkin's.

yankee (no homo)

"perhaps you ought to go to iraq and see if you like it there"

Ath, if you love America so much why do you parrot the liberal media's lies about Iraq? Why don't you talk about all the good things that have happened since we liberated the Iraqis? Traitor!

― Martin Van Buren (Martin Van Buren), Monday, 10 April 2006 16:14 (twenty years ago)

Let's polarize this argument between the Yankees and the Southerners. That's an interesting twist.

Really.

So, like, I'll start. I'm from Tennessee originally.

― gear (gear), Monday, 10 April 2006 16:17 (twenty years ago)

i don't really understand so i'm gonna just go ahead and tell you to go to iraq again.

― ath (ath), Monday, 10 April 2006 16:18 (twenty years ago)

I think it turned when all of a sudden it turned into a let's bash ethan thread. I mean this is a roffle thread, not a racial one!

― Miss Misery xox (MissMiseryTX), Monday, 10 April 2006 16:18 (twenty years ago)

who is caitlin moran?

Ask any UK person from the early nineties. Alternately, ask rabid/recovering Anglophiles. (Nicole and I being obvious candidates.) Some basics.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 10 April 2006 16:19 (twenty years ago)

What about Erin "Joanie" Moran? How does this make HER feel?

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Monday, 10 April 2006 16:19 (twenty years ago)

It's awfully easy to poke fun, but if this sage fellow convinced even one moran to get A BRAIN, I feel like he's done mankind a great service.

CONTINUE TO HEAL THE WORLD WITH YOUR PLEA FOR ENLIGHTENMENT, MY BROTHER.

― Deric W. Haircare (Deric W. Haircare), Monday, 10 April 2006 16:20 (twenty years ago)

So, Ned, are you rabid or recovering?

― martin m. (mushrush), Monday, 10 April 2006 16:20 (twenty years ago)

Yes.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 10 April 2006 16:20 (twenty years ago)

Yankee.

― martin m. (mushrush), Monday, 10 April 2006 16:22 (twenty years ago)

But Ath, Iraq is now a free democracy. Are you saying I wouldn't like it there?

"The fact of the matter is, there are good things happening in Iraq. There are good people working hard every day to make a difference for the future of Iraq."

What part of Tennessee are you from, Martin M.?

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Monday, 10 April 2006 16:24 (twenty years ago)

"it's like we grew up in the same house...and one day i went out the front door, while he went out the back."

well you remember how drunk i was

― +++++, Monday, 10 April 2006 16:30 (twenty years ago)

Yeah but Ethan you don't say or do much to make that distinction very meaningful to anybody.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Monday, 10 April 2006 16:30 (twenty years ago)

Yet somehow you've managed to develop almost exactly the same value set and rhetorical style, which is the point being made here.

― Dan (Narcissism Of Tiny Differences) Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 10 April 2006 16:31 (twenty years ago)

does that value set include not accepting the demonization of the poor, instead of going to trucker hat white trash parties or whatever

― ++++, Monday, 10 April 2006 16:33 (twenty years ago)

i saw there were 127 new answers on this thread, and i knew it wouldn't be pretty.

― scott seward (scott seward), Monday, 10 April 2006 16:33 (twenty years ago)

Hahaha Ethan you're really only digging the hole deeper here!

― Dan (Hahaha) Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 10 April 2006 16:34 (twenty years ago)

as far as rhetorical style plz note my last post was not in css style sheets or whatever and did not reference philip k dick or dr mario

― +++++, Monday, 10 April 2006 16:34 (twenty years ago)

well sorry if im wrong here but that is williamsburg right, 'white trash' parties & all that

― +++++, Monday, 10 April 2006 16:35 (twenty years ago)

jon's parents == employed by the state == rolling is dough$$$ obviously.

― elmo argonaut (allocryptic), Monday, 10 April 2006 16:35 (twenty years ago)

― elmo argonaut (allocryptic), Monday, 10 April 2006 16:36 (twenty years ago)

Yes yes yes BUT Jon uses style sheets DO YOU SEE?

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Monday, 10 April 2006 16:37 (twenty years ago)

― +++++, Monday, 10 April 2006 16:37 (twenty years ago)

Nashville?

You Yankee.

For what it's worth, in Finland we apply the word "raddish" for people who are Red on the surface, but White in the core.
