which is more annoying?

[Queersetti]

Thank god...he finally admitted he lost. I was really starting to wonder when he was going to muster up at least a bit of self respect. Better late than never.

Hey Q.......hope all is well.

I'm having a great time, thanks.

This is priceless.

So, he said Toni Morrison, then changed his mind (probably got cold feet because he wasn't sure if Toni Morrison was male or female), and replaced her name with Emily Bronte. Then when he got called on the fact that Bronte was English, he switched back to Morrison.

Boy, you can't pay for this kind of entertainment!

That's beautiful.


Has anyone checked to see if Scott X is the really Dubya?

 

[celiaKitten]

Could someone show him how to put a link in his sigline? It's really bugging me.

I'm sure he's got a masters in that, too.

 

[Wrong Element]

Just adding a non-psychotic note here: Nabokov was an American by the time he wrote Lolita, if I'm not mistaken. He was definitely living here by then.

Of course, none of this takes away from the fact that Scott X is the worst liar this side of my 4 year old nephew.

His original version of the story (Volshebnik) was written in Paris, in Russian, 15 years before Lolita was published in English.

Queersetti by a far margin.

Although I haven't heard any more from him about how homosexuals are superior to heterosexual people in ages.

There's absolutely nothing annoying about Debbie .. except when she doesn't post.

From the College of Life Experience?

I guarantee I scored higher on my SAT'S than you. I also have more balls than you for posting stories and going head to head w/ many here. Your turn, fruitcake.

Sat's scores mean nothing stupid! Neither do IQ scores...Its all in what you do with it.....Good example my aunt....She got over 1500 on her sat's, but has the common sense of a rock....Which is more than you have at this point.......

Could someone show him how to put a link in his sigline? It's really bugging me.

You know i have asked this a couple of times and nobody has helped me out.....I would like to know how..thanks.

ah yes, the old "can't admit you're wrong" defense which is so common these days. But, what exactly have I been wrong about?

Well seeing how we could write a book on you about this.....The you could list it as a great American novel!

I am sure someone could find 20 threads on you showing people proving you wrong.

Btw could someone quote this thing so he can see this? I am on ignore, cuz i did the whole proving him wrong thing like 3 months ago.

Thanks

Why not just admit you were bullshitting about having a degree in Literature in order to snowball Rhys? It would be a lot easier than all this constant backtracking.

Considering the alternative definition of snowballing, this is the funniest thing I have read all day

What's one more alternative definition once George Orwell and Emily Bronte have been defined as American and Arthur Miller and Rene Descartes have been defined as novelists??

wow, the newbies need their meds adjusted tonight.

I was going to ask him what he thought of Melville, but I figured he would just say he'd never been there.

Look on the bright side, he probably reads product warning labels the same way.

I bet you guys can really throw down at the lil arguments that come up at the monthly bookworm meetings.

I can hear it now...."You Lagubrious Sedatious cretenous hacks!!!! Cervantes was NOT a novelist!!!!!"

lol

What a thread.

I must just go and wipe the tears from my eyes.

Thanks guys, funniest thing I've read in ages!

Okay, I'll give you a half an apology on that one, I figured you meant Percy. But Mary Shelley was still British, as was Orwell,Death Of A Salesman is still a play, and you are still busted.

Lavy also asked for the "quintessential" American authors... not necessarily just favourites. I can't believe Steinbeck, Hemingway, or Twain never showed up. Even Faulkner, who I personally hate.

There were just SO many more choices that summed up American writing more than the work of Vladimir Nabokov, and even if George Orwell WASN'T British, his work was usually satirical or political commentary. I'm sure Lavy was asking who really summed up American principles and values, at any given historical period therein.

 

[Lasher]

Ok, so apparently Scotty isn't the only person who doesn't realize that Nabokov isn't an American author.

Nabokov was Russian by birth. Emigrated to Germany after the revolution in the year Nineteen-hundred and seventeen, emigrated to the US in 1939 because of the Nazis, and emigrated to Switzerland in the late 1950s because of the Americans. He lived in the US for less than 20 of his 78 years on this planet.

Just because he wrote some books in English while living in America doesn't make him an American author. Solzhenitsyn lived in this country longer than Nabokov and no one would consider Solzhenitsyn and American author, now would you?

Think people, please.

I don't think we disagree. Different critics think of him AS an American author. I can show you a few collegiate sites that list him as an American author - some go on subject matter, perhaps, rather than birthplace of the author.

My point was that, regardless, Nabokov is NOT what anyone would consider the "quintessential American novelist", which was Lavy's parameter. How someone can claim Nabokov, but totally skip Hemingway, Faulkner, Twain, or a SCORE of other American authors, is certainly a testament AGAINST someone having a Masters in American Lit, not to mention the fact that Lavy asked for "quintessential", and he replied with "favourite".

American Literature depends upon a lot more than merely a novelist LIVING in America, which I believe was your point.
