I wish I could afford a star-spangled do-rag...

And so, my son, began the "War of Morans" that shook the very foundation of ILE... that is, the camraderie felt in laughing at ugly and illiterate people.

don't use or invent poverty to demean someone

You did, Ethan, with your Wal-Mart drops and your slander, but the straw woman thing is waaaay boring! And you will not leave it alone! Did you make THAT much of a fool of yourself in London that picking on someone else is easier than, for instance, dealing with your extreme lack of social skills? Don't answer, just think awhile about what it might be like on the day you get a life.

― suzy (suzy), Monday, 10 April 2006 15:48 (eighteen years ago) link

i'm just trying to figure out if it's intentional that ethan accuses people of things on this thread just prior to engaging in exactly the behavior he decries (cf. "saggy-ass acid wash"; cf. supposedly demonstrating hypocrisy by nonsensically recasting the ethnicity in a power dynamic)

i'm goina get lunch

― Tracey Hand (tracerhand), Monday, 10 April 2006 15:53 (eighteen years ago) link

you're getting lunch!

(i'm gonna get some too)

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Monday, 10 April 2006 15:57 (eighteen years ago) link

I think he may acually be referring to the Moran family of Greenville, south Carolina.

― jel -- (jel), Monday, 10 April 2006 15:57 (eighteen years ago) link

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 10 April 2006 16:01 (eighteen years ago) link

look i dont know what all the arguing on this thread is about or whatever and frankly i don't care. i get the sense that some people ITT are talking shit about america and i just felt like i needed to make it clear that AMERICA IS THE #1 BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD and if you don't like it, then perhaps you ought to go to iraq and see if you like it there

― ath (ath), Monday, 10 April 2006 16:05 (eighteen years ago) link

Jel, stop ruining the fun.

― Miss Misery xox (MissMiseryTX), Monday, 10 April 2006 16:06 (eighteen years ago) link

It's too early for lunch here. Let's keep going with the ad hominem attacks. I was just starting to like this thread.

― martin m. (mushrush), Monday, 10 April 2006 16:06 (eighteen years ago) link

I like how that wigger ethan uses "yankee" as pejorative to set himself up as this unassailable authentic southern self-made man.

― Fight the Real Enemy -- Tasti D-Lite (ex machina), Monday, 10 April 2006 16:09 (eighteen years ago) link

Jon I would call you a yankee too. Because you are. :)

― Miss Misery xox (MissMiseryTX), Monday, 10 April 2006 16:10 (eighteen years ago) link

Maybe it was addressed to Caitlin Moran and family, in which case I can't help but agree with the guy.

― My Psychic Friends Are Strangely Silent (Ex Leon), Monday, 10 April 2006 16:10 (eighteen years ago) link

Yankee GO HOMO!

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 10 April 2006 16:11 (eighteen years ago) link

You're not helping.

embers is a fast food restaurant.

Embers is hardly a fast-food restaurant. More like a low-tech Perkin's.

"perhaps you ought to go to iraq and see if you like it there"

Ath, if you love America so much why do you parrot the liberal media's lies about Iraq? Why don't you talk about all the good things that have happened since we liberated the Iraqis? Traitor!

― Martin Van Buren (Martin Van Buren), Monday, 10 April 2006 16:14 (eighteen years ago) link

Let's polarize this argument between the Yankees and the Southerners. That's an interesting twist.

Really.

So, like, I'll start. I'm from Tennessee originally.

i mentioned suzy's clothes in a taste-your-own-medicine kinda way. i did not mention wal-mart once - that was 'elmo argonaut'

i don't really understand so i'm gonna just go ahead and tell you to go to iraq again.

― ath (ath), Monday, 10 April 2006 16:18 (eighteen years ago) link

I think it turned when all of a sudden it turned into a let's bash ethan thread. I mean this is a roffle thread, not a racial one!

― Miss Misery xox (MissMiseryTX), Monday, 10 April 2006 16:18 (eighteen years ago) link

who is caitlin moran?

Ask any UK person from the early nineties. Alternately, ask rabid/recovering Anglophiles. (Nicole and I being obvious candidates.) Some basics.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 10 April 2006 16:19 (eighteen years ago) link

What about Erin "Joanie" Moran? How does this make HER feel?

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Monday, 10 April 2006 16:19 (eighteen years ago) link

It's awfully easy to poke fun, but if this sage fellow convinced even one moran to get A BRAIN, I feel like he's done mankind a great service.

CONTINUE TO HEAL THE WORLD WITH YOUR PLEA FOR ENLIGHTENMENT, MY BROTHER.

― Deric W. Haircare (Deric W. Haircare), Monday, 10 April 2006 16:20 (eighteen years ago) link

So, Ned, are you rabid or recovering?

― martin m. (mushrush), Monday, 10 April 2006 16:20 (eighteen years ago) link

Yes.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 10 April 2006 16:20 (eighteen years ago) link

Yankee.

― martin m. (mushrush), Monday, 10 April 2006 16:22 (eighteen years ago) link

But Ath, Iraq is now a free democracy. Are you saying I wouldn't like it there?

"The fact of the matter is, there are good things happening in Iraq. There are good people working hard every day to make a difference for the future of Iraq."

What part of Tennessee are you from, Martin M.?

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Monday, 10 April 2006 16:24 (eighteen years ago) link

"it's like we grew up in the same house...and one day i went out the front door, while he went out the back."

well you remember how drunk i was

― +++++, Monday, 10 April 2006 16:30 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah but Ethan you don't say or do much to make that distinction very meaningful to anybody.

Yet somehow you've managed to develop almost exactly the same value set and rhetorical style, which is the point being made here.

― Dan (Narcissism Of Tiny Differences) Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 10 April 2006 16:31 (eighteen years ago) link

does that value set include not accepting the demonization of the poor, instead of going to trucker hat white trash parties or whatever

― ++++, Monday, 10 April 2006 16:33 (eighteen years ago) link

i saw there were 127 new answers on this thread, and i knew it wouldn't be pretty.

Hahaha Ethan you're really only digging the hole deeper here!
