I don’t get it, what am I missing?

5262

My mind has been blown.

Holy crap, I didn’t realize they were in a little inflatable until the very end. I would’ve become pretty uncomfortable at the point he’d decided to intertwine our fates …

Dude earned it, anyways.

I still enjoy MAS*H after all these years, yet somehow I had never heard of this…

WALTER was a pilot for a spin-off of MASH made in 1984 that was never picked up. It starred Gary Burghoff, who reprised his MAS*H character. Since the pilot was never picked up by CBS as a series, it was shown as a “CBS Special Presentation” in July of 1984. It was shown once in the eastern and central time zones of the United States, but pre-empted on the West Coast by CBS News coverage of the Democratic National Convention. This is the only known broadcast of the pilot.

The entire pilot is on youtube. Easy to see why it didn’t get picked up, but it might be of interest to MAS*H fans.

I don’t know how he does it, but it looks awesome:

where do you draw the line? Misuse of words is not necessarily evolution of language. My nitpick was just that, but it hardly makes me a prescriptivist, unless that’s another word that has a nebulous meaning I’m not familiar with.

5267

One person misusing the word: they’re probably wrong. Everyone misusing the word: they’re not misusing it, it’s taken on a new meaning.

Where to draw the line? Somewhere in between :)

5268

I know this isn’t the grammar rage thread but I have to stop you there. Did you just end that sentence with a preposition?

It may shock the Internet, but this is something up with which I will not put.

I will accept this if you’ll actually define this “new meaning” that the word has taken.

And touché on the preposition-ending mistake, I guess I should have paid more attention to that grammar meme.

I don’t think the “new” definition is really much different. It’s broader, yes, but not really worth pointing out over the fact that you used “it’s” when you meant “its”.

5271

Robot, it is not in fact broader, but more specific. Your confusion just goes to show that this “new meaning” is in fact just a large group of confused people (which goes beyond the scope of this forum) who don’t know what the actual meaning of the word is, and would rather play the “it’s evolution of language!” card than open up a dictionary. Learning is hard!

More of Kermit doing Talking Heads covers. Less of grammar discussion. Thanks!

That’s a good point. We are so lazy.

I really wish somebody, anybody would start writing down definitions of interesting words. Especially cool words like meme.

That would be so cool.

Neither side has made a cogent argument yet.

Pit bike riding through Walmart. Get in, freak some people out, ride around, almost get attacked by an overweight patriot, then get the fuck out.

5276

I read this as a pitbull riding a bike into a wal-mart. Much more amusing.

5277

“This guy has balls.”

Yeah. He happens upon one toddler who has stepped a couple feet away from his mom…have fun in prison asshole.

5278

Yeh I know it’s assholish, but he does look around a lot while doing it and doesn’t go riding through any small aisles.

But come on, full front attack via towel paper? That’s good stuff.

5279

Truly.

Good lord people. You’ve all got shopping carts. Use them! Sheesh.

Now that I look at it that way, yeah a big coalition of the willing getting their carts together to fuck this guy up would make this video 10x more entertaining. He’s only in there for a minute though.
