The Chameleon Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Best Quote Of 2007 By Chris Rock, comedian 2-28-07 "You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named Bush, Dick, and Colon.

AD Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Maybe not... I definitely remember Charles Barkley saying the first little bit in 2000. Eminem has disappeared lately, and Colin (with an 'i') Powell hasn't been powerful for at least two years now. Either way it's mildly humourous.

Calamity Jane Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 AD...does nit-picking make you horripilate?honestly, I am just wondering and not trying to pick a fight. Y'know...I'm just saying...nit-picking seems to be your idiom.for me, that quote was FUNNY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 i don't know what's wrong with being accurate. and at the same time it furthers the discussion, on this, a discussion board. i like to think i offer more than nit-picking, but if that's all you see that is ok too. ps the use of horripilate confuses me in this context.

djmelbatoast Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 I think that's from his last special which came out a couple of years ago. I could be wrong though. Maybe it was on Letterman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollie Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 i like to think i offer more than nit-picking, but if that's all you see that is ok too. Yes, you also let us know which shows you won't be attending on a regular basis. But I agree, nothing at all wrong with being accurate. Now just watch someone post George Carlin's "rules".

phishtaper Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 fwiw, ive grown to enjoy AD's nit-picking because he's usually right, except, of course, when he disagrees with me and i have no idea what horripilate means but its making the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

Schwa. Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Kills me what is acceptable here would not be in person.Now answer honestly, if someone countered everything you say in person with such "accurate-ness" would you be annoyed? Does every post on here need a disclaimer at the end saying that this is just for fun AD, please don't berate my post?just a question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Kills me what is acceptable here would not be in person.Now answer honestly, if someone countered everything you say in person with such "accurate-ness" would you be annoyed? Does every post on here need a disclaimer at the end saying that this is just for fun AD, please don't berate my post?just a question.To directly answer your question concerning AD and myself, I let AD correct me all the time. I find it to be annoying sometimes but only when I err too often. People like DaveO, AD and Booche keep us all honest and on our toes. S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 i find it odd that if someone posted an incorrect setlist or something equally inane, it would be corrected within minutes. people jump all over newspaper reviewers for spelling names wrong, for example. it happens here ALL THE TIME.for the record i do correct people in person, tactfully. wouldn't you want to know if you were saying something that wasn't true? i expect others to correct me as well and am annoyed when they don't.there is absolutely no downside to being correct or furthering knowledge and discussion about something. no disclaimers are needed.
