The intention of the group isn't for interlopers to be rude. Is that what your group is like?

Woohoo, it's nice to finally get some feedback.

Kind of funny because I started the `innit' fad 7 years ago. Sorry, Quaid, your whole life is just a dream.

Yes, it is hard to believe. I ported it to USENET and kensi is just following in my footsteps and you in hers. I know what's what and that's a fact. Little old me.

Got spam, innit?

Why do you feel the need to insult, anyways? I know what you're talking about and it isn't what you think it is. Kor Halberd is a one mana value equipment. Junji, The Midnight Sky is a 5 mana value flying Dragon Spirit with certain other benefits such as causing the opponent to discard two cards. Why display your equipment if it is going to be four or more turns until the creature you're putting it on is around to use it? The whole article was sarcastic and very bad advice if you followed it literally. Isn't it enough? I'VE GOT BLISTERS ON MY FINGERS!!!!

You should read uk.* for the last couple of decades, 'innit' is a
commonplace there.

Well then, show us how it's done, please. :)

People who complain about posts, but never post, are
just being curmudgeons.

I don't look anything like Ingrid Bergman.

BTW, I have a bizarre story to relate, but I'm unsure if it
is appropriate for this group.

To that end: what is the difference between "bizarre" and "weird"?

[change of Subject: approved] ≈;o)


To me, off the top of my head and consulting neither
my dictionary, thesaurus nor any other artificial aid:

"weird" suggests "spooky" as in paranormal;
"bizarre" suggests "WTF does ~that~ mean?"

Is the mere fact of talk.bizarre's existence weird?
How bizarre is that...

One of the things we do here is consult dictionary and thesaurus and edit out gratuitous material. I don't really want a dump of your brain at some random moment.

There was a BOB in 1995 and the newsgroup never fully recovered.
That's my understanding at least.
