Fundies Ride The Short Bus Seriesly
This is from another board I post on. I think this dude needs a ticket to get in the zoo, and one to get out. check it:

Being a brit i was a McCain/Palin supported.. oh yes.. i just hope none of the US public start winging when things don't work out.


And I'm not a Guy Fawkes supported.. I'm very much against the idea..
for a start to many kiddies blowing there limbs off.. but thats due to shops selling them.
Also why would be burn a guy? i mean its a act of violence..lol and while its a day to remember we should celebrate it.. why not celebrate th day we prevents many OTHER terrorists attacks over the past few years? i just think its stupid.

But its gone on so long everyone forgotten the point of it..and now its just.. woo its firework night.. and its a waste of money.. should use the cash for a new years bash..


I replied:

This isn't the first time you've posted something that has utterly confused the ever-living shit out of me, but I have to say this one has topped the bunch. What in the hell are you talking about? The words look like English sometimes but they make no sense when they're strung together.

1. Allow me to translate
One of the things I do as part of my job is read letters from barely literate, and oftentimes heavily medicated or altered people. I speak "barely intelligible."

It appears he has combined two subjects in one post. The first part, about McCain/Palin -- he's saying that as a Brit, he was a McCain/Palin supporter. (Dawg knows why.) Then he expresses the hope that the U.S. public won't start whining ("winging") when things don't work out under an Obama presidency.

The second part of the post seems to be about Guy Fawkes Day, which was celebrated on November 5th. It's traditional for there to be fireworks, and he seems to be expressing concern about the number of kids who are injured by fireworks. Not unlike the sort of thing that happens in the U.S. around the 4th of July, when kids blow their fingers off with firecrackers, etc.

5. It's whinging
pronounced "win-ging."

They use it where we use whining.

Afterall that. Any British person with that appallingly awful command of The Mother Tongue is truly fucked up.

6. You should see this 'moran's posts
It's pathetic.

I saw a documentary once where a scientist puts a mirror in front of a baboon and the baboon thinking it's another baboon attacks the mirror even after banging its head on the glass... When this dude posts, I think about that documentary. A lot.
