Did you ever see the "PROOF" that Barney the Dinosaur was Satan?

Start with the phrase:

CUTE PURPLE DINOSAUR

then translate that into Roman characters:

CVTE PVRPLE DINOSAVR

then pull out the numerical denominations:

C, V, V, L, D, I, V

D=500
C=100
L=50
X=10
V=5
I=1

add them up: 500+100+50+5+5+5+1 = 666,

Therefore, the Cute Purple Dinosaur is SATAN!!!!!!

You only need to read Genesis to tell you that - a lesson in logic isn't really necessary.

Pokerman,

Now this...I BELIEVE!!!

LOL

You know how? When Barney accidentally gets put on the TV during the morning hours my kids sit there mesmerized and all day they are little terrors...

He's evil, man... Evil, I say!!!

 

[Mischka]

The first line in that theory girls = evil is wrong. The fact that girls require time and money does not mean they equal time and money. Those are just two components in a myriad of necessities for women. So striking the first line, the rest falls apart.

Just doing my part to correct the logical fallacies that permeate our world. And more importantly, helping CB get back into a better mood.

 

[Lancaster]

Be very glad I'm not still in London. I haven't been in a silly mood for awhile.

You dare question the words of the Good Book?

especially when it's on vanilla ice cream with granola too.

Oh, pardon me.

Are you being ironic?

 

[Purple Haze]

Are you being sarcastic?

 

[Tabby432]

I thought it was a little funny.

 

[Lancaster]

Are you being sarcastic?

No PH, I have a strong aversion to sarcasm. Sarcasm is lazy. I prefer the challenge of irony.
Sarcasm is a positing of the counter-factual to imply the factual. Irony is a positing of the factual to imply the counter-factual - a much more difficult and demanding art.

Well, at least I'm no longer a jackass.

You sounded like one, I didn't know you were postulating ironic sarcasm.

You're right. Shouldn't have taken the thread down that road.
