British People

[Gelston]

....are all fucking weird.

So here we are at the patrol base, playing a game the Brit's showed us called shithead. Then one of the Brits starts doing card tricks. Cool, so we challenge one to try the impossible situp. (one guy gets in situp position, another holds a shirt over his eye holding him down, as he tries to situp you slowly release the shirt, and a third guy is standing over him. Ass to face happens.)

Americans 1, Brits 0

so the Brits tell us about a game called flaming asshole. You hang about 2 feet of tp from your ass, light the end and dance around screaming like a little girl. They had two guys do it, we had two.

Americans 3, Brits 2

Right after we catch a decent-sized camel spider. One of our boys eats it.

Americans 4, Brits 2

not to be outdone, one of the Brits pisses in a bottle and another drinks it.

Brits 100, Americans 4

[Mogonis]

The piss was probably 80% beer?

[Nieninque]

The moral of that story is, never challenge a squaddie.

[IorakeWarhammer]

most games involving the ass.. i thought don't ask don't tell wasn't repealed yet?!?!

haha jk man, thanks for your service, may Allah protect you from injustice.

one thing I found intriguing about many brits is that they consider Benedict Arnold a traitor and not a hero. (naturally, I guess.) when my dad visited London, they were talking about Benedict Arnold, and my dad said he was a hero, to which the guide replied: "he is a traitor, and had he not been treasonous America would still be in the hands of the Queen"

eek!

[Stanley Burrell]

I have seen frickin' Welsh tea houses in Argentina whose surrounding communities ... are more British than the British. These ol' blokes must've been from a colony.

[Stanley Burrell]

Will you kindly shut the fuck up with your quasi-proselytizing? Goddamn. Nigga, I don't care if you summoned Xenu, Quetzalcoatl and Thor over for wellwishes. Shit is getting old, little Achmed. Fuck man, do you see anyone else (who isn't ClydeR) Holy Scripture'ing half of the posts they make?

Edit: Don't troll your religion if you care about it. Or do, but seriously. Shoot.

This was the one case I don't care about him and his religion. It'd be the same if I said "God bless you" to Gelston. I don't have a problem with anyone wishing safety upon someone in the way that works best for them.

I will continue to wish people well in my own way. (and certainly not tailor my personality to meet your "illustrious" standards.) Don't make another thread about me just because I'm unusual. So, in the spirit of the thread, here's a pic of you watching my continual posts and being able to do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT IT!!!

It pains me to defend Douchehammer, but I agree.

And seriously Gelston, was this just for bragging rights? Because I'd think them drinking each others piss would be a fail on their part and yet another win for the Americans.

[Sam]

I get kind of annoyed when people say "God bless you" when I sneeze, but I think it's just 'cause I feel awkward when I don't acknowledge it with a "Thank you."

It also bothers me when people tell me to "Have a blessed day." Lots of that in The South.. I guess I'm just an asshole.

Just start swearing and blaspheming after every sneeze. That's what I do.

*HA-CHOO*

"GOD FUCKING DAMN IT"

*HA-CHOO*

"JESUS CHRIST!"

[Sam]

Hah that's a good idea. I can just synchronize my goddamnit with the godblessyou. I'm gonna try that.

[Cephalopod]

I get kind of annoyed when people say "God bless you" when I sneeze, but I think it's just 'cause I feel awkward when I don't acknowledge it with a "Thank you."

This is weird, I thought I was the only one with this oddity. I dislike people saying "God bless you" since (as an athiest or a hedonistic egoist) I don't believe in god, since I'm never sure how to respond.

Likewise, I tend to say "Gesundheit" to people when they sneeze, which makes people look at me like a Nazi. The jackboots don't help.

[Some Rogue]

And the SS tattoos.

[Celephais]

People tend to think you're an asshole when you don't say anything. Why do we even bother acknowledging it, you don't say anything when a person sneezes. If there's any proper etiquette around it it should be the sneezer saying "excuse me" and you can optionally respond with "you're excused".

It seems this thread is about sneezing responses now, as the original topic was weird and um... yeah what Nikki said.

How to Address Someone Who Has Just Sneezed (http://www.ehow.com/how_4704955_someone-who-has-just-sneezed.html)

I think from now on, though, I'm just going to exclaim "Jupiter's Cock!" when someone sneezes.

I like where you're going with that, I'm going to switch it up and start saying "Tentacle of Yog-Sothoth!"

[Buckwheet]

I personally like the ARGH! You got me! response.

[Gnomad]

You're sooooo good looking!

[IorakeWarhammer]

so in the spirit of whats being said here, if you go to someones house and you're served Shephard's Pie, and you don't happen to like the food, instead of being polite and just saying thanks and abstaining, you really want to say:

"DAMN IT!! I DONT BELIEVE IN EATING SHEPHARD'S PIE!! HOW DARE YOU INFRINGE YOUR FOOD TASTE BELIEFS ON ME!! ROAARR!!"

Get a grip, Brute. Just say thanks and move on. People aren't thinking of God when they say God Bless You, it's a social standard of courtesy. Like, when someone says "break a leg," before you go on stage, would you say "HOW DARE YOU ENCOURAGE ME TO FRACTURE MY TIBIA!! ROAAR!!"

No.

[Celephais]

Some people actually would take offense to break a leg, if they said it in a culture that it's not a "social standard". I agree that there's no reason to get inflamed by what you said, but it's not a social standard on these boards (which is American/Canadian/European social mix). Infact in those cultures what you said is pretty inflammatory, especially in the light of how you've been acting. I'd actually bet you wanted this topic to come up.

and this:


People aren't thinking of God when they say God Bless You
Is true, but when you say "may Allah protect you from injustice." people do think of Allah.

Anyway, ignoring it is the way to go, continued discussion about sneezes. (I'll see if I can find that one where Calvin tries to blow his socks off by holding his nose).

[Tisket]

I personally like the ARGH! You got me! response.

I just cover my own mouth and nose and recoil when someone sneezes near me. I might as well hold up a sign that says "BEGONE GERMY PERSON".

Then I whip out my travel bottle of Purells.

Is true, but when you say "may Allah protect you from injustice." people do think of Allah.


Even if they are, who cares? I think it's pretty incredibly rude to tell someone how they should well-wish someone else. It'd be like if someone posted about a family tragedy and I said "My prayers are with you" and someone else posted "Thinking about you in this tough time" and I got upset they were thinking and not praying.

Take things in the spirit they are intended.

I was just calling out his "defense" as not being correct. I agree with you that if it were anyone else saying it I would take it in the spirit of well wishes. Although he's pretty dense if he didn't know he'd get that reaction. He said almost exactly the same thing in another thread (the fucking one where the OP said he was going to the sandbox in the first place) and got this reaction.

Yeah he really doesn't help his case by being who he is.

[Danical]

My militant atheist friend says, "Nothing happens when you die," to people when they sneeze.

He's a dick.

This is like if I said Yahweh bless you instead of God. And he's been inadvertently and repeatedly advertising his religion, it isn't exactly like,

"I am very spiritual, I may not believe in a monotheistic Creator, but for what it's worth, I pray to the forces of nature and the universe to keep you safe."

All he is doing is continuing to troll posts 1-∞. There is no special circumstance that makes this acceptable. He has Holy Scripture as his signature and he's trying to further flaunt his shit. Don't even get me started on how and why.

You can expect either a claiming innocence "this-is-all-I-was-doing, honestly" post, except not now, since he probably just read this.

I'm too tired for this bullshit. "God" bless works for both his and my and your religion. Edit: Don't even turn this into a philosophical debate. It's stupid.

[Mighty Nikkisaurus]

Stan, taking an Allah damn breath and then come back to the computer. Jesus, Mary, and Muhammad.

Perhaps they feel it is better to drink british piss than kiss colonial ass. I think this is the sun officially setting on the british empire.

What?

No, it's not that, it's that you're being fucking retarded. Let's pretend there was a hypothetical poster that before being outed, carried himself about as someone who was obsessed with dinosaurs: And then said "May the great velociraptor/stegosaurus in the sky bless you." Then, pretending we still thought Neff's alter ego was cool, it would be acceptable.

But what you're doing is saying "I am still saying the same retarded thing. On behalf of the same retarded thing I keep saying, please stay safe."

It's stupid as shit. All we need now is Nieninque to have a hard-on for one of several other posters, who have repeatedly pointed out your retardedism.

You're not weird. You're not good weird or bad weird. You're mentally retarded.

Like, if Kranar said "Allah keep you safe," it would be O.K. Because he doesn't have "Allah-lah-lah-lah-lah" as a header for each one of his posts. And he is also not retarded.

Having said all this, I'm'a take a nap. Peace yas negros.

Nachos does say "Toodle pip!" alot. I'm not sure what the hell it means, but he makes it work.

......wow. Anyways, we were hoping to celebrate the 4th of July with them by getting in lines and reenacting the Revolutionary War.

......wow. Anyways, we were hoping to celebrate the 4th of July with them by getting in lines and reenacting the Revolutionary War.

The problem with this is if you they didn't have a 3000 mile nautical supply line, they would've won...so be careful about re-enacting on their own soil.

[Gelston]

Late bump but.... I'm not on their soil. Supply line to here is likely a lot shittier.

[Delias]

That may be so, but the transportation is quicker these days.

[Gelston]

Psh, that'd also have to put our modern crap into account. They were with us on the fourth though, they gave us a light show with mortars. History repeating? Perhaps.

[Murkshev]

I must be in the opposite part of the world then. I sneeze alot to the point that some of my co-workers say, 'enough is enough go to hell!'. So much for being blessed.
