Hey Spearchucker, get a fucking hobby.

A caster of spears?

A chucker of lances?

Had a 6th grade teacher who put this question on a test: "Who was Billy Wigglesword?"

She was teaching Shakespeare. The test was all about Shakespeare. Some kids laughed when they wrote down the answer.

Not me. I got it wrong. I've never forgotten it and yet I still didn't get the Spearchucker/Lancecastor thing until right now. How sad.
 
At this point I'm really just Lance and have been for years.

Unless you don't know me, in which case I'm the mythical figure, Lancecastor, or Lanciepoo, Lanciepants, or more recently, The Grovellor, guv.

But yes, originally it was meant to be funny in a Canadianway..."beaver poker" would be the closest translation, with a nod to Cap'n Stabbin'.

It also includes the Lancaster bomber, Sir Lancelot, Monty Python and a few other more arcane subtexts.
 
Don't they?

Nothing is quite ever what it seems around here. :)

And there's always so much asummin' going on. Rarely do you find so many mind readers congregated in one spot outside of Cassadaga FL.

And shorty. Don't forget shorty, shorty.
 
I don't see that gaining any more traction then "groveler" did.

:D

Anyway... It cuts Lance every time he sees that we know he had to beg the boss to get his job as piss-boi back and that's really all that matters.
 
Good grief. I had to go through this whole thread just to find out spearchucker is a pet name for another poster? Silly me.
 
I'm surprised, you've been around long enough.

Hey, I have no desire to read everything. I am constantly reading the new things that show up everyday and that's enough. I will admit my ignorance when I finally figure it out.

One of your better attributes (so sarcasm there).

Well, you could just tell us what you're talking about, so we wouldn't have to guess. Then again, the shock of you doing that might kill a few of the older ones in here.

(guess the appropriate emoticon)

A little about AJ's icon, Rebecca ... errr .... Pocahontas ... umm ... Matoaka ...

"Pocahontas" was a nickname, meaning "the naughty one" or "spoiled child". Her real name was Matoaka. The legend is that she saved a heroic John Smith from being clubbed to death by her father in 1607 - she would have been about 10 or 11 at the time. The truth is that Smith's fellow colonists described him as an abrasive, ambitious, self-promoting mercenary soldier.

Of all of Powhatan's children, only "Pocahontas" is known, primarily because she became the hero of Euro-Americans as the "good Indian", one who saved the life of a white man. Not only is the "good Indian/bad Indian theme" inevitably given new life by Disney, but the history, as recorded by the English themselves, is badly falsified in the name of "entertainment".

The truth of the matter is that the first time John Smith told the story about this rescue was 17 years after it happened, and it was but one of three reported by the pretentious Smith that he was saved from death by a prominent woman.

Yet in an account Smith wrote after his winter stay with Powhatan's people, he never mentioned such an incident. In fact, the starving adventurer reported he had been kept comfortable and treated in a friendly fashion as an honored guest of Powhatan and Powhatan's brothers. Most scholars think the "Pocahontas incident" would have been highly unlikely, especially since it was part of a longer account used as justification to wage war on Powhatan's Nation.

Now you're engaging in a tactic that absolves you of any guilt because, you know, it's all about pointing out her flaws, the flaws in her story, and the myth of her life. That's fine, but it does not absolve you of putting on red face and making fun of Native Americans.

Your first new tactic was to say you were making her look strong by using Wednesday Adams as a "symbol" of strength. Then you said it was okay because she "changed her name." Now you're dragging her through the mud...

What you're saying is,
it's okay to call Cassius Clay
a nigger because he changed his name!

It's okay to impugn his memory,
because he joined
The Nation of Islam,
a big ol' bunch of racists.

Than why did everyone think
What A_J did to mimic you,
WAS SO TERRIBLY BAD???

Talking about yourself in the third person is a sign of stupidity.
 
Facts absolve Pooks of guilt.

Someone read that back to AJ, he obviously has no idea what those words mean.

I didn't point out her flaws. Her own tribe did, dumbass.

She's far from a Native American icon. Her image is a European invention at best. She's been an icon for Caucasians playing the good/bad Indian theme more than anything else. But then, just as with your situational outrage, your situational Native American association just wasn't up to speed on that.

Maybe you should spend a little time learning about your (allegedly) Native American history that you claim to respect oh so much, half-white man that giggles while putting on red face as Fawkin'Injun.

I bet your half-brothers are so proud. The racist Caucasian ones at least.

Maybe in your racist mind you think it's okay to call him that because of a name change. The Pocahontas that you claim I've smeared is a Caucasian man's creation that you bought into hook, line and sinker. A creation used over the years to denigrate her tribe and people by your Caucasian brothers.

The real Matoaka was a remarkable young woman and strong supporter of her people. She certainly wouldn't recognize you as someone like that. No one else does.

But then your history has been one mixed with self-hate. It's only natural it spews out onto others ... like your racist rants of late.
