131-My Durper Loves Snarkin'; My Durper Loves Snarkin' and we know what it takes and we know how to use it



Feel free to bitch about the awfulness of the title until post 51. Anything after that will get you boxed forever… Or as long as a mod vaguely feels like doing.

Awful title, what is this? There are good titles in the title thread. Who is responsible?

So along with arbitrary and capricious, we have to deal with vague?
That sucks worse than the title.

Does "until post 51" mean up to and including the 51st post, or is it that anything after (post) 51 is dangerous?

What depth of hell did that song come from? I count myself lucky I've somehow never managed to hear it before and unlucky that I have now. And how the hell did it ever become a hit? If that was the early sixties, sure, but Professor Google tells me that's from 1970. 1970! After Monterey Pop. After Woodstock. Right in the middle of Jimi's heyday. Hell, Black Sabbath's first album came out about then. And that thing was a hit. Sometimes I despair in humanity.

Wow, there's a lot to hate. From his wiki:

Quote:
Later, Burrows sang the lead vocals on several other one-hit wonder songs under different group names, Edison Lighthouse's "Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)" (February 1970); White Plains' "My Baby Loves Lovin'" (March 1970); The Pipkins' novelty song "Gimme Dat Ding" (April 1970); and The First Class' "Beach Baby" (July 1974). He also sang lead vocals on The Brotherhood of Man's "United We Stand", which reached #10 on the UK charts and also reached #13 in the U.S.

I just saw (and reported) that thread. It’s basically just an invitation for people to explain to the OP why a woman with "a real man" would even need to go to school, because she’d already have a man to "provide" for her, and why would a woman need anything beyond that? Oh, and I love how he refers to the woman as a "mate" for the man.
Making this at least the third thread started by the OP with a sometimes thinly, and sometimes not so thinly, veiled misogynistic bent. There’s also the one about women and their hair and the one about how much men spend on their girlfriends (who don’t even give them sex after!).

Yes. Just as the worst trolls are the most successful trolls and the perfect hydrogen bomb is the hydrogen bomb that does not exist. It’s a major flaw in the ontological argument, for instance, that that which exists must necessarily be superior to/greater than that which does not, but as can be plainly seen with bad titles and trolls alike, that is not necessarily the case. Before we can understand whether or not existence is truly to be preferred over non-existence for a given entity, we must understand the nature of the entity posited to exist and the sort of world it would lead to. To put it bluntly, the best troll is the troll that does not exist. Similarly, the best bad title is the bad title that does not exist. Any measure of existence beyond simple non-existence makes it worse, irrespective of how well it fulfills intent.

Y'know, for as many of these abominations he's used so far I'm starting to wonder if Fenris isn't trying to dox himself a bit. Maybe he thinks someone will be impressed? At any rate, this theory would explain why his filk verses never scan right.

Eh, it's a fair point. Yes, the question is why pizza boxes are square (because they're a fucking sight easier to manufacture out of cardboard) but there'd be nothing anomalous about that if pizza were square also, so a few words on why pizza is round aren't out of place.

New Durper posts an incomprehensible debate:

Spoilered because long and rambling.

1)I have to:
1. People have needs.
2. People’s needs have to be met or else!
3. When the fun people have, covers their needs, they don’t need to go further.

2)What people do:
1. People organize actions to meet their needs.
2. People deal with problems that appear on the way…well…on the way, and try to stay on target with meeting their needs.
3. In the end, their needs will have been met, or their needs won’t have been met, and they find this out…well…in the end.

3)What society does:
1. Problems in a society… in the end, become everyone’s or no one’s problem.
2. Society tries as an end, to turn problems from, everyone’s problem… to no one’s problem.
3. When society reaches this end, problems on their way to become everyone’s problems… would in the end become no one’s problem, and society needs to go no further.

The end is coming:
1. BOOM!: Oh my god we are sinking as a society!
2. Observation: Did anyone stop wanting to have fun and act accordingly? No.
3. The mystery begins: What happened?

A. It’s the ECONOMY stupid!
1. KABOOM!: The system can’t be motivated, there is no money in the economy.
2. Observation: Did anyone burn the money? No.
3. The mystery unfolds: Where is the money Lebowski?

Money? Oh…it’s complicated:
1. You can trade some chickens for a haircut or you can trade some money for a haircut.
2. Chickens are uncomfortable to carry compared with money.
3. Money reduces the time and effort needed to trade.

Money! Is it the end, or is it the beginning for people?
1. Why can time and effort needed to trade, be a problem to some people, so that they need it reduced (time and effort to trade) by introducing money to society?
2. Because people may want to do something else, instead of spending the needed time and effort to trade.
3. But…for some people…time and effort spend to trade…is what they do for fun!

The jokers
1. People who spend time and effort to trade, because it is fun to them, in the end… learn how to do this efficiently(= spend less time and effort to trade).
2. Because they become good in trading efficiently, they become good with money(= spend less time and effort to trade)!
3. Because being efficient in trading, which is what these people do, is what money’s end also is (Money reduces the time and effort needed to trade), Jokers are divided into funny Jokers and SAD JOKERS.

The GREAT DIVIDE : funny jokers and SAD JOKERS
Funny Jokers:
1. Funny Jokers, in the end… want to have fun, and becoming good in trading(=less time and effort spend), is their way of having fun.
2. Because their end is to have fun, when the fun Funny Jokers have, covers their needs, they don’t need to go further. But because they are becoming good in trading(=less time and effort spend), if they become more efficient in trading, than money in society is at the time, they end up with more money.
3. Since when this happens, Funny Jokers are more efficient in trading than money in society is at the time, keeping these money is useless to them, because they are more efficient at trading, than the money they hold. And, because more money doesn’t give them more fun at that point, Funny Jokers end up trading these money for nothing, plus put time and effort to do that, so that they are spend efficiently, because helping society does give them more fun!

Sad Jokers
1. Sad Jokers spend time and effort to trade, but they are not having fun. Because others spend time and effort to trade, plus have fun doing this , Sad Jokers need to become good at something else to make money. So they spend their time and effort on something else, on which they become efficient…
2. Because they become good at something else, their actions are not reducing the time and effort spend to trade, as… they spend their time and effort on something else. So, the money they make, is more efficient in reducing the time and effort spend on trading, than they are, and…the more money they make…the more time and effort needs to be spend on trading in society, and money in the end becomes inefficient for society…cause…
3. Because of this, what is no one’s problem in society…becomes everyone’s problem in society. Why? Because some Jokers are sad and this is funny. Why? Cause others aren’t and they are useful to society.

B.Oh, no it isn’t the economy then, it is FATE!
1. No one should get a coin, choose a side, and flip it.
2. No one should repeat this experiment, until… no one gets the side which the coin faces no one right, all the time.
3. After that happens, what does no one do, does no one do that (=choose a side and flip the coin), or does no one do something else? If so…

The HOLLY
1. Holly people are the ones who are good by default (= as a given). Because they are good by default, if they say or do something, it can’t be bad. Because they can’t be bad, anything they say or do is fun in the end…
2. And…as anything they say or do is fun in the end, and people want to have fun, the holly people end up saying what happens next…cause…
3. And…because what happens next, happens…well…next regardless…what is no one’s problem in society, becomes everyone’s problem in society. Why? Because some jokers are sad and this is funny. Why? Cause others aren’t and they are useful to society.

C.Hmm…no no fate is fate, it was lack of STRENGTH!
1. No one should choose a wall and punch it.
2. No one should repeat this experiment until nothing stands in no one’s way.
3. After that happens, what does no one do, does no one do “nothing standing in no one’s way”, or does no one do something else? If so…

The POWERFUL
1. Powerful people are good at having others believe they are powerful. If others stop believing that, then powerful people become less powerful …quite quickly…
2. If powerful people lose all their powers…then…they don’t have any powers, and can’t have fun. When something else is happening, and others start forgetting how powerful, powerful people are, then…powerful people quickly try to remind them before everyone forgets…cause…
3. Because of this, what is no one’s problem in society…becomes everyone’s problem in society. Why? Because some Jokers are sad and this is funny. Why? Cause others aren’t and they are useful to society.

D. NO,POWER is alive and strong! Then, it surely is no one’s fault!
1. No one has fun just like that, and ends having fun just like that. Why? Cause mama in the end puts order.
2. Some people think they say what happens next. No one says, what happens next…happens…next. Cause…if it happened any other time, what would no one do next?
3. Other say no it’s not this or that, it’s something else. No one says, it is me, it is the rest, and when you have fun with the rest, then it is something else!

No one:
1. In the end, it seems that because of the SAD JOKERS=THE HOLLY=THE POWERFUL, what is no one’s problem in society…becomes everyone’s problem in society. Why? Because some Jokers are sad and this is funny. Why? Cause others aren’t and they are useful to society.
2. And no one can tell the SAD JOKERS nothing. But no one might show them. What? WHAT NO ONE SHOULDN’T DO. And no one thought…no one should warn the SAD JOKERS, cause…why are they sad, they could be funny if they tried! Why? Cause then they would start having fun again and be funny to society!
3. So…how can no one help the SAD JOKERS from no one who might do, WHAT NO ONE SHOULDN’T DO? By using part of society to turn everyone’s problems, into no one’s problem. Which part?

THE FORGOTTEN ONES
1. SAD JOKERS, by spending their time end effort in something else to have fun, are neglecting two parts of society which are endless fun. GIRLS and FAMILY. But…how can THE FORGOTTEN ONES help?
2. GIRLS, who just want to have fun, cause… Sindy Lauper: “Girls just want to have fun”, and in the end…are the ones getting hurt by the SAD JOKERS, do what GIRLS do. They talk about it, and, in the end, start pointing the SAD JOKERS, so that all society can see them.
3. Then, their FAMILIES deal with them, even if they need to do WHAT NO ONE SHOULDN’T DO. Why? Cause no ones may come from nowhere and do WHAT NO ONE SHOULDN’T DO to them, until they turn the SAD JOKERS to FUNNY JOKERS. Even if to do this, they have to do WHAT NO ONE SHOULDN’T DO.

Why in the end…
1. Cause why should no one do, what no one shouldn’t do, if no one else may do it instead?
2. And why should no one write down what no one shouldn’t do? Cause if no one doesn’t write it down, no one else may forget the funny jokers, and then the problem that no one else faces is:
3. “I am having fun with the rest, another no one like me also had fun with the rest, but…that no one…was hurt in the end. By the rest? Not at all! Only by the rest of you.” And that would be the only problem that no one else faces: “The rest is good baby! And the rest of you need to go…”

Farewell to the SAD JOKERS
1. You want the rest from the rest…
2. Ask the rest, for the rest, and you will get the rest.
3. Why are you bothering, the rest of us?

1)I have to:
1. People have needs.
2. People’s needs have to be met or else!
3. When the fun people have, covers their needs, they don’t need to go further.

2)What people do:
1. People organize actions to meet their needs.
2. People deal with problems that appear on the way…well…on the way, and try to stay on target with meeting their needs.
3. In the end, their needs will have been met, or their needs won’t have been met, and they find this out…well…in the end.

3)What society does:
1. Problems in a society… in the end, become everyone’s or no one’s problem.
2. Society tries as an end, to turn problems from, everyone’s problem… to no one’s problem.
3. When society reaches this end, problems on their way to become everyone’s problems… would in the end become no one’s problem, and society needs to go no further.

The end is coming:
1. BOOM!: Oh my god we are sinking as a society!
2. Observation: Did anyone stop wanting to have fun and act accordingly? No.
3. The mystery begins: What happened?

A. It’s the ECONOMY stupid!
1. KABOOM!: The system can’t be motivated, there is no money in the economy.
2. Observation: Did anyone burn the money? No.
3. The mystery unfolds: Where is the money Lebowski?

Money? Oh…it’s complicated:
1. You can trade some chickens for a haircut or you can trade some money for a haircut.
2. Chickens are uncomfortable to carry compared with money.
3. Money reduces the time and effort needed to trade.

Money! Is it the end, or is it the beginning for people?
1. Why can time and effort needed to trade, be a problem to some people, so that they need it reduced (time and effort to trade) by introducing money to society?
2. Because people may want to do something else, instead of spending the needed time and effort to trade.
3. But…for some people…time and effort spend to trade…is what they do for fun!

The jokers
1. People who spend time and effort to trade, because it is fun to them, in the end… learn how to do this efficiently(= spend less time and effort to trade).
2. Because they become good in trading efficiently, they become good with money(= spend less time and effort to trade)!
3. Because being efficient in trading, which is what these people do, is what money’s end also is (Money reduces the time and effort needed to trade), Jokers are divided into funny Jokers and SAD JOKERS.

The GREAT DIVIDE : funny jokers and SAD JOKERS
Funny Jokers:
1. Funny Jokers, in the end… want to have fun, and becoming good in trading(=less time and effort spend), is their way of having fun.
2. Because their end is to have fun, when the fun Funny Jokers have, covers their needs, they don’t need to go further. But because they are becoming good in trading(=less time and effort spend), if they become more efficient in trading, than money in society is at the time, they end up with more money.
3. Since when this happens, Funny Jokers are more efficient in trading than money in society is at the time, keeping these money is useless to them, because they are more efficient at trading, than the money they hold. And, because more money doesn’t give them more fun at that point, Funny Jokers end up trading these money for nothing, plus put time and effort to do that, so that they are spend efficiently, because helping society does give them more fun!

Sad Jokers
1. Sad Jokers spend time and effort to trade, but they are not having fun. Because others spend time and effort to trade, plus have fun doing this , Sad Jokers need to become good at something else to make money. So they spend their time and effort on something else, on which they become efficient…
2. Because they become good at something else, their actions are not reducing the time and effort spend to trade, as… they spend their time and effort on something else. So, the money they make, is more efficient in reducing the time and effort spend on trading, than they are, and…the more money they make…the more time and effort needs to be spend on trading in society, and money in the end becomes inefficient for society…cause…
3. Because of this, what is no one’s problem in society…becomes everyone’s problem in society. Why? Because some Jokers are sad and this is funny. Why? Cause others aren’t and they are useful to society.

B.Oh, no it isn’t the economy then, it is FATE!
1. No one should get a coin, choose a side, and flip it.
2. No one should repeat this experiment, until… no one gets the side which the coin faces no one right, all the time.
3. After that happens, what does no one do, does no one do that (=choose a side and flip the coin), or does no one do something else? If so…

The HOLLY
1. Holly people are the ones who are good by default (= as a given). Because they are good by default, if they say or do something, it can’t be bad. Because they can’t be bad, anything they say or do is fun in the end…
2. And…as anything they say or do is fun in the end, and people want to have fun, the holly people end up saying what happens next…cause…
3. And…because what happens next, happens…well…next regardless…what is no one’s problem in society, becomes everyone’s problem in society. Why? Because some jokers are sad and this is funny. Why? Cause others aren’t and they are useful to society.

C.Hmm…no no fate is fate, it was lack of STRENGTH!
1. No one should choose a wall and punch it.
2. No one should repeat this experiment until nothing stands in no one’s way.
3. After that happens, what does no one do, does no one do “nothing standing in no one’s way”, or does no one do something else? If so…

The POWERFUL
1. Powerful people are good at having others believe they are powerful. If others stop believing that, then powerful people become less powerful …quite quickly…
2. If powerful people lose all their powers…then…they don’t have any powers, and can’t have fun. When something else is happening, and others start forgetting how powerful, powerful people are, then…powerful people quickly try to remind them before everyone forgets…cause…
3. Because of this, what is no one’s problem in society…becomes everyone’s problem in society. Why? Because some Jokers are sad and this is funny. Why? Cause others aren’t and they are useful to society.

D. NO,POWER is alive and strong! Then, it surely is no one’s fault!
1. No one has fun just like that, and ends having fun just like that. Why? Cause mama in the end puts order.
2. Some people think they say what happens next. No one says, what happens next…happens…next. Cause…if it happened any other time, what would no one do next?
3. Other say no it’s not this or that, it’s something else. No one says, it is me, it is the rest, and when you have fun with the rest, then it is something else!

No one:
1. In the end, it seems that because of the SAD JOKERS=THE HOLLY=THE POWERFUL, what is no one’s problem in society…becomes everyone’s problem in society. Why? Because some Jokers are sad and this is funny. Why? Cause others aren’t and they are useful to society.
2. And no one can tell the SAD JOKERS nothing. But no one might show them. What? WHAT NO ONE SHOULDN’T DO. And no one thought…no one should warn the SAD JOKERS, cause…why are they sad, they could be funny if they tried! Why? Cause then they would start having fun again and be funny to society!
3. So…how can no one help the SAD JOKERS from no one who might do, WHAT NO ONE SHOULDN’T DO? By using part of society to turn everyone’s problems, into no one’s problem. Which part?

THE FORGOTTEN ONES
1. SAD JOKERS, by spending their time end effort in something else to have fun, are neglecting two parts of society which are endless fun. GIRLS and FAMILY. But…how can THE FORGOTTEN ONES help?
2. GIRLS, who just want to have fun, cause… Sindy Lauper: “Girls just want to have fun”, and in the end…are the ones getting hurt by the SAD JOKERS, do what GIRLS do. They talk about it, and, in the end, start pointing the SAD JOKERS, so that all society can see them.
3. Then, their FAMILIES deal with them, even if they need to do WHAT NO ONE SHOULDN’T DO. Why? Cause no ones may come from nowhere and do WHAT NO ONE SHOULDN’T DO to them, until they turn the SAD JOKERS to FUNNY JOKERS. Even if to do this, they have to do WHAT NO ONE SHOULDN’T DO.

Why in the end…
1. Cause why should no one do, what no one shouldn’t do, if no one else may do it instead?
2. And why should no one write down what no one shouldn’t do? Cause if no one doesn’t write it down, no one else may forget the funny jokers, and then the problem that no one else faces is:
3. “I am having fun with the rest, another no one like me also had fun with the rest, but…that no one…was hurt in the end. By the rest? Not at all! Only by the rest of you.” And that would be the only problem that no one else faces: “The rest is good baby! And the rest of you need to go…”

Farewell to the SAD JOKERS
1. You want the rest from the rest…
2. Ask the rest, for the rest, and you will get the rest.
3. Why are you bothering, the rest of us?

I know I've posted this retro snark before but it never fails to make me laugh and I was reminded of it when watching some old-school Simpsons last night:

What's the biggest trend that has been started on the SDMB?

In which Dopers grasp at straws trying to find an internet trend that they invented. This thread is from 2003.

Stuff they tried to claim:

Felching - nope, predates the web
Band name - nope, Dave Barry
og smash - Some feathers are ruffled when @hajario points out this originated outside the SDMB
How you doin'? - nope, Friends joke
When come back bring pie - nope, some old flash cartoon
Cow-orkers - nope, predates the web
Lies make the baby jesus cry - nope, Simpsons

In particular there was some back and forth about the stupid og smash joke. 2003 Dopers were quite protective of their lame in-jokes

The thread only went to two pages, probably because they realized that there actually wasn't any common internet lingo that originated on the SDMB.
