Where do weird-ass LRPDisms come from, and WTF do they mean?

Post #11,420 by CRConrad 10/3/01 9:04:49 AM Reply	Where do weird-ass LRPDisms come from, and WTF do they mean? I was thinking, I'm sure there are others besides me who'd like to know what the heck some of these phraselets are gibbering about, so why not invite everyone to a thread of speculations and explanations... Since it's my idea, i guess I'll go first... Here's the one I've been wondering about: "My other car got stolen by Ashton." What's that all about -- was it an "Ashton-Martin", or WTF? (OTOH, just to show how what's utterly weird to one person can be a model of clarity to another: "Non-migratory, just like cocopabanana blaps" makes perfect sense to me. Scary, isn't it? :-) Christian R. Conrad The Man Who Knows Fucking Everything
Post #11,421 by admin 10/3/01 9:21:49 AM Reply	Hmmm, let me try to remember... As I recall, Ashton had been making some jokes about someone's car. I can't remember the particulars. Based on his remarks, the "My other car got stolen by Ashton" was a natural comment to make (much like the cococabanana blaps comments arose from your fried banana conversation). Sorry I can't remember more, but rest assured, it made sense at the time. :-P Regards, -scott anderson

(Like "Oranges are ok, grapefruit FORBIDDEN!". Umm, it is from lileks.com, right?) I'll have to start writing down all the ones I go 'WTF?' about and tally them up. Erm, this could turn into a kind of LRPD purity test :) On and on and on and on, and on and on and on goes John.

Post #11,635 by static 10/3/01 8:53:14 PM Reply	I needed the banana one explained to me. But then, I've suggested others, too. Which reminds me: there's one about "No sprinkles!" What's that about? I know it was a real early one, FWIW. Wade. "All around me are nothing but fakes Come with me on the biggest fake of all!"
Post #11,636 by admin 10/3/01 9:04:52 PM Reply	I believe that one is from II. And no sprinkles! For every sprinkle I find, I will KILL you! There's no telling where many of the II emotes came from. Some of them are just plain daft. Regards, -scott anderson
Post #11,637 by static 10/3/01 9:14:04 PM Reply	Ah. II. Yes, of course. And I thought daft-ness was basically the point of the LRPDisms...? Wade. "All around me are nothing but fakes Come with me on the biggest fake of all!"

This betrayal of the DOC (DirectOracleConnection) process has caused me to reconsider my application for the next session of the, LRPD \ufffd Terrorism for just plain Goodness Conference and Road Race Revealing a supplicant's source of extra income for munitions-for-Peace.. is not the sort of behaviour one expects from One's GodHead. I shall prey that She will turn over a new cocopabanana blap, and restore this humble supplicant to His former (forgot the laser filter)-blind faith. ..for while The Tibetan Book of the Dead advises that one aim away from the smoky red light leading to reincarnation as a bizness droid... WTF! I ain't no Tibetan Dead, I'm a Murican Dead
