The post something funny thread

I have no clue what this means.

Just nod your head and walk away, it’s easier than an explanation from belamyi

 

[belamyi]

I told you I had posted a truly belamian post, in the language of lions

I am attempting to explain it to you because the other person asked me, time ago, to put him on ignore, so I do not even know what's he doing reading one of my pissable posts

You ever heard or read "agree to disagree"? ... That was the short version.

Now comes the longer, equally WTF version

Well, languages (like social life, or democracy) are used to mask the fundamental fact that people can not understand each other, so they use language or accept democracy to pretend they can live together... but, sometimes, a certain grammatical use (like "meet with"), or a certain social issue like gender discussion, or a certain political leader remind you that people are as basically clueless about each other as they are about the world around... and it is only normal, and makes perfect sense, that some belamyi pointing that out to you should come to be but a reflection of that incomprehensibleness

CONGRATULATIONS

YOU FINALLY MADE OFFICIAL WHAT EVERYBODY HAD ALWAYS KNOWN AND ACCEPTED​

I was about to say the same thing. I "met with" means I spent time with the King for a purpose. Saying simply, I "met the King" is more like shaking his hand in a greeting line. Maybe this is an American English difference?

I met Lady Bird Johnson in the lobby of the Hilton in Austin. Early/mid '80's. We were going to the restaurant on the top floor. Four or five guys. She was leaving. "Good Afternoon Mrs. Johnson". She said "Why, Good Afternoon to you, too, young man!". A moment of chic chat about how hot it was and we need rain. It was mid-August, so. And that was it. It was nice. I think she liked being noticed. I know I liked her noticing me. She could have played deaf.
Yeah, I could see she had SS hovering around. But so what? I'm going to jail for talking to an old lady?
The rest of the guys were shocked that I said anything to the woman. Shrug.

If we had dinner together, then "Met with Lady Bird for dinner".

English is fun.

Hers or of the 20th century?

 

[fredroy]

1980's

I looked it up. She died in 2007 at 94 years old. So say I met her in 1983. 24 years before she died. When I was still 25.

 

[belamyi]

A pretty young man

 

[fredroy]

Folks said so. I don't know why.

 

[belamyi]

Bad taste?

 

[fredroy]

Dunno. I just never felt like I was "all that". The fussing about "you are so cute/handsome/etc" just seemed like a way to get into my pants and it felt wrong to me. Let it happen and got burned and seared on a couple of relationships and it was, for me, castle walls and moats in my head to keep people out. Out of my head and my heart.

Hey, maybe I was dropped on my head as an infant.

We moved a lot when I was a kid. Even after dad got out of the Marines, we still moved every three years. I was always "the new kid" at school. Times two for 4th grade. I was never part of the gang.

 

[belamyi]

Oh, so it was mere hunger on their part.

And prince-in-a-castle on yours

I think we are neighbours... in a sort of Texan 500-miles-neighbor way
