Who is BlackShanglan and why is he here?

[Ishmael]

Black Shanglan may just be a horse but I love that Horsey. The horse is witty, clever and kind as well as charming, wise and sexy.

I don't know the Horses Gender but if the horse wants to be completely anonymous in his/her/its dealings online, it hurts no one.

Oh, and Shanglan has one of the most recognised "voices" on the AH, I really don't think a horse is capable of doing the alt thing, they are, after all, only a simple beast of burden.

You make my point so well, and with fewer words.

Ishmael

 

[sophieloves]

whomsoever BlackShanglan may be, and whatever else they may be, they are without doubt a talented poet. if any of you read Snake it will become apparent this person's poetry is head and shoulders above many here. that's not about kissing their arse, it's about being honest - oh, and naturally it's 'imo'.

ok guys, i have my hand up, here. to save me looking it up.. can anyone tell me what the indigenous population of what is now the USA used to call the continent? or didn't they? were there names for regions but no overall name for the landmass as a whole? yes, i AM ignorant, which is why i am asking and looking for a serious, enlightened answer. of course, no doubt i'll get shit, but hey - i try.

Let's get a little real here.

First of all this dude talks to himself in the third person alternate specie. Clever literary technique used by Rodger Zelazny, Peirs Anthony, and Andre Norton (AKA Alice Mary Norton). Anthony did it best in his Orn/Omnivore series.

Next of all he alludes to my trolling him.

OK, my reputation on this board is such that I have to resort to alts or anonomous characters to desguise who I am to say what I think?

No my hallucinatory friend. If I needed an alt to confront you this thread wouldn't exist at all. And never having read anything you wrote, I'm in a poor position to critique. Meaning I'm not going to read anything you've written at all at this point. You're hallucinations have obviated that option.

You've written quite enough on the board for me to get a flavor of your talents. And I have to admit, you have talent. You'd do well in the Gothic Romance genre'.

You presume to know my motivations. You don't. You may only know some things that modify my trajectory. And even there you can't be certain. (Oh, did I tap your foot?)

From my standpoint you picked a poor AV and persona. Having relatively recently gotten rid of a wife and a stable of 7 horses, I'm very familiar with equines. Hell, goes back to my father training standard breds when I was a kid. Riding broncs in El Paso. Started shoveling horse shit at four and learning to stick the pitch fork in the ass of a recalcirant animal shortly thereafter.

Beasts of burden are just beasts of burden. Or food.

Ishmael

Okay, so real = A genderless horse is an alt because you're all knowing and you hate animals enough to stick a pitchfork in their ass?

An alt made for you specifically...why? You're really not that important except in your own head.

I've heard of that, among the Lakota tribe. I don't know about a timeline, but it's still in usage.

It doesn't have to make sense. He once reported an online insult to the FBI. The case is still open.

That's some funny shit.

You know, people keep accusing me of saying "I win" but really I don't win - the opposition just keeps eating their own shotgun shells at the opening bell. I just happen to be the only one left without a negative frag.

I've always had a soft spot for Andre Norton. She was my first introduction to both science fiction and fantasy. Zelazny is good fun as well. Anthony was amusing until his own bloated ego, bizarre infantilization fetishes and misogyny did him in.

How interesting that you are an Anthony fan.

Still, if you have some time free from studying his oeuvre, I don't suppose that you might explain the concept of the third person to me? You see, I am so desperately poorly read that I imagined that it might involve using third person pronouns and name references, such as "Horsey enjoys writing in the third person about itself because Horsey simply loves to hear its name over and over." Now I see that I must have been wrong, as you're clearly the first-class intellectual of the board. Might you help me to uncover the failings in my woefully weak education?

I never dreamed that my beautiful new troll had read the stories. It would, after all, be a strange, twisted, pathetically deranged little person who bothered to read four entire stories after deciding that the first and shortest was worthless. Even the most dull-witted troll could see how silly it would be to write "give up on writing you have zero talent" if he hadn't given up on reading.

You've written quite enough on the board for me to get a flavor of your talents. And I have to admit, you have talent. You'd do well in the Gothic Romance genre'.

I am much obliged for your kind opinion. It gives me high hopes that the draft novel, a romance, will find at least one ardent admirer.

You presume to know my motivations. You don't. You may only know some things that modify my trajectory. And even there you can't be certain.

Indeed, I am highly uncertain. I cannot even decipher your meaning here. But no doubt that's due to my humble intellectual status, which leaves me unable to see how neatly your metaphorical sally into rocketry fits together.

Oh, thank heaven. You had me worried for a moment there. I had, of course, selected my AV expressly to interest you, and for a few agonizing sentences I thought that all of that effort had gone to waste. You coy creature, Ishmael. You left it to the last sentence to tease me with the image of you nibbling on me.

Shh! You promised you wouldn't tell them that Seanh is my suave and charming alter ego. Play nice, little doggy, and I'll stand you a round.

thankyou, and goodnight.
c'mon Ishmael, you have to applaud the delivery, surely?

made me laugh at any rate mr horse i would say you are a gay horse, since wit like this rarely seems to spill from a straight horse's lips. plus there was that comment about Shadowfax...

Recidiva wishes to propose marriage to Horsey

Horsey was of the impression that Ulaven might have an opinion on this topic. Horsey wonders if this is a package deal?

Damn why not checkers..I am no good at chess!!

Chess has little horsies on the board. But that's all right, I was actually offering a round of drinks. A drunken and unskilled chess opponent would just be an added bonus. Do you play for stakes?

I like to think of myself as a broad-minded and modern sophisticate unhampered by the stale fetters of tradition. It sounds so much more clever than "hopeless tart for anything with a pulse."

There's always a catch.

I must confess you're too good for me. I still shoot for the stars on impulse.

What does "laugh like a drain" mean, and where does it come from?

yes. yes it does. and how refreshing to see a horse dispense with the blinkers of societal conformity. bet you still fart though.

 

[sophieloves]

Meaning

To laugh coarsely or loudly, especially at the discomfort of others.

Origin

This is a UK phrase, from around the time of WWII. It is first recorded by Eric Partridge in A dictionary of forces' slang 1939–45, 1948. He describes it as 'Ward-room and also Army officers’ slang'.

The reason why drain was picked for this simile isn't clear. Most similes include items that especially display the property being described, e.g. as white as as snow. Drains don't immediately make one think of laughter, although the gurgling sound might have been thought of as being similar to chuckling
