More Awesome Than You!

I've been searching for some information on this for a greater part of the evening.
There is a lot of information on this, per say, but none of it really in one place and none that actually answers the exact questions I have.

It would be great to have a clear and concise explanation from some smart-arses... oh, I mean, smarties like yourselves who have been around for awhile.
I've been slightly out of the loop, so I've gotten a bit behind.

What I'm wondering is this:
I have seen the posts concerning order of installation, but with the "stuff" packs, I'm still unclear.
What order should one install everything to date that is out and should any of the patches be installed in between installs?

When I say everything to date, I mean:

The Sims 3
TS3 - World Adventures
TS3 - Fast Lane
TS3 - High End Loft
TS3 - Ambitions


1. If I install them in that order, will I be safe from harm? (I remember how touchy TS2 was about order of installation)
2. Also, should I be installing any patches *in between* installs?
3. And, lastly, is the 4.2 patch preferable as opposed to any of the others available?

I've tried to clearly map out my questions to allow for the least amount of work on your part. If someone would be willing to answer those questions, I would be most grateful.
Thanks guys, for any help.

If you're so worried about install order, why would you install them in any order other than the order they came out? Are you retarded?

Hehe, yes slightly... or perhaps mightily. That's why I'd like some help.

Perhaps, and correct me if I'm wrong... but perhaps, well could it be that you might be too retarded to help me out?

'Scuse me while I wipe the drool off my chin..


Edit: How strange it is, but while I was reading through the "Ambitions: What's borked" thread, I ran into a little thing that I think you might be interested in seeing... I know, it's hard. I hate to be the one to break it to you... But, you very well may be just like me.. I'm sorry, truly sorry. (Note the word *cielings*, in case you still aren't sure how it should be spelt-ed-ed.)

Not exactly seeing how glitches with a new expansion pack have anything to do with being too stupid to think for half a second.

Because it was fun to make fun of you. Pure and simple. Mwahaha.

Should someone that can't spell "per se" properly really be going around calling people "smart-arses" and "too retarded"?

I'm glad you asked that. My answer happens to be, yes, yes they should. Why, you ask?
Well, this is why, my friend, Jeeves.

Per se is a perfectly acceptable way of spelling it. Spoken by the people in the Urban Dictionary.  :D While it may not be your definition of *correct*, it is still perfectly acceptable. I will still be loved if I use it out in general public, even if you, Jeeves, do not appreciate or love me for it.  ::)

Edit to add:

Now that we've got that out of the way, is there anyone who might be interested in saying something a bit more..... helpful? I have learned that I am retarded, along with another friend who happened to share my disability quite equally, here on this forum.

Though it is not in my nature to be unkind, I happen to have no issue giving back any sh*t that is slung in my direction. Once it's slung, it's fair game, and so are you. Plus, I don't take it personally and even enjoy a good bout of banter.  ::)

Anyway, I'd still love some information. Perhaps we can mix a little useful information into our commentary? What say you? What say we? Per se, smart-arse and so forth? Amen?

Is this the beginning of some bizarre love triangle?

Two retards and a very good speller/spellie/spelter? Sounds a bit.. smutty and obscene.
I'm in.


******Edit:*******
Here's a bit of info I found while searching around for answers.
http://joscmh90.blogspot.com/2010/01/installation-guide-for-sims-3-razor1911.html (http://joscmh90.blogspot.com/2010/01/installation-guide-for-sims-3-razor1911.html)

I wonder if anyone can verify that the patches in between are crucial, or if the patches are already included in the newer expansions. If I remember correctly, with TS2 the patches would be included in the newer ones most times.
I also wonder if these steps are more important because they are cracked games, or would they be the same for the retail versions?

I've already begun the process of installing, so I'll find out soon enough, but I'm still curious as to what you guys think since I have no idea how much that guy *really* knows outside of the whole torrent and crack process, though he does mention MATY a couple times in the article and certainly does sound like he knows what he's talking about in ways. Perhaps one needs to be more careful and specific when using those. I don't know. It's obvious that English is not this guy's native tongue, so don't be too hard on him. :) I deserve it, but he doesn't, heh.

If I installed all the games, one after another ending with the most recent (which happens to be Fast Lane Stuff, if I'm not mistaken), and didn't open the game once until the Fast Lane Stuff was installed, would I be safe just ending with that and then patching it (if there even is a patch for that yet)? Would all of the patches be included as each addon was installed?

I know somebody knows what they're talking about where this is concerned. I've seen enough knowledge in this place to write an Encyclopaedia Sims.

I'll wait it out until that special someone comes along, and whistle a happy tune.

Urban Dictionary isn't a real dictionary. It's the creation of a bunch of illiterate 12s who wanted to justify their poor vocabulary and spelling skills by creating a comprehensive "dictionary" of stupidity and slang.

OMG, you people are so ignorant! 

It's from the fucking LATIN, which means it is, in fact, spelled "PER SE" and NOTHING ELSE! I know, I know, "but you pronounce it purr say" - and I'm here to tell you that Latin doesn't give a rat's ass about how retarded you must be to have to have everything spelled to conform to *your* version of pronunciation in a language that didn't even fucking EXIST yet at the time this phrase was coined. Oh cold cruel world indeed.

Edumacation, get u sum.

I know I'll regret asking, but how exactly, Jeeves et al (and this includes you, OpiumDeluded, with your "it may not be spelled *correct* per se, but meh, if Urban Dicktionary approves it that's good enuff 4 me!"), were you planning to otherwise spell said phrase in contention?

I was thinking the same thing. I've graded quite a few papers written by borderliners and I've NEVER seen it spelled any other way. I just assumed the spelling was too simple to botch for people smart enough to hold a pencil. I, too, would like to see an example of such botching.

To help with the OP's original problem, I can offer you my experiences but YMMV; I only had to patch base game up to a certain point to install WA, the rest went fine without patching. The instructions for how far I had to patch came with the torrent.

Wow, gee.... I had no idea.  ::) I really thought the Urban Dictionary was all that there was.
You have no sense of humor and are way behind on the wit. It's useless, isn't it....

smellyarmando,
You WIN the smart people award today. Thank you for the bit of advice.

Dammit!  I never win ANYTHING!

 In my eyes, you will always be a winner. For being YOU. (I got that from a Hallmark Card)

Oh sure, give me the crappy CONSOLATION prize.  I hate all of you!

Like this, apparently:
Do pay more attention: Jeeves was insulting the OP retard for spelling it incorrectly - the quotes around "per se" there were not scare quotes (intended to imply that the spelling is wrong) but simply standard syntax for delineating a string literal.
As for the OP retard's... um... I guess "refutation" is at least what it was INTENDED to be, I'm afraid parsing that is far above my pay grade. Maybe if Huffpuddle hadn't gone full retard, we could get a stupid-to-English translation up in hyah, but that doesn't seem likely anymore.

No, no! Not CRAPPY! It came from my heart!

(This has nothing to do with you, snowbawl. I just happened to be on my way to say:)

It used to be much easier to get help here. While it's fun making fun of people who think you're ignorant for making fun of the ignorant (which makes *them* ignorant to humor and wit), I much more enjoyed getting answers and having them be what the MAIN topic was.

I will rise to the times... but will the real SlimMATY please stand up? I miss actually talking shop. Where are all the evil AND witty AND smart AND helpful people that were willing to help during ye olden days? I didn't care if they were mean. At least they added useful things. :)

All your questions were answered - by the likes of Claeric, no less. If THAT doesn't tell you how stupid the question must have been, then nothing will.

This is getting boring.
You seem like too smart a fellow (or gal) to be wasting your time with petty and unimaginative tit for tats like that. But, I guess it's not my business what you do with your time, Tsenatserix.

Added:
It would be "more stupider" for a person to blindly install everything. I took the "safe" route to ask my fellow simmers and walked into a den of wolves...  :D And though I made it out in tact, I am no more informed than before. I think.... I think I actually *lost* some brain cells in this conversation.

He likes to fuck salt.  I don't think he minds if you watch.

All that salt-fucking might make one more *bitter* than salty....  ::)


Edit:
I actually just ran into some information for anyone who came into this thread to learn something.
I never know really how much to believe when I read it on different sites, but it's always good to have different opinions. What I hoped for myself here was to gain knowledge from someone who had actually done it. Smellyarmando (I'm sorry I called you smelly) offered some expertise, for which I am molto grateful. Since no one mature (and informed) would probably have stomach enough to read to the bottom of this thread, let alone respond to it,  I may never get any real information.  ::)
Anyway, I found this of MTS. Not sure how the linking system here works anymore, so I'll explain that if you 'google' MTS 'Game_Help:TS3_PatchingEPSP', it will bring you to some info which you might, at very least, add to your arsenal.

Hey, here's an idea:  go BACK to MTS.  And STAY THERE.

My, my, they just keep getting wittier and wittier. That one was ingenious. Thanks for putting me in my place.  ::)
Unfortunately (for you), I'm not going anywhere. I enjoy being reamed. It makes me feel at peace, knowing someone is more miserable than me.
Nice try at getting me out of here, buddy, though a bit of a lame attempt.  ::)

Added:
I have been cataloging the steps I've taken installing the EPs and Stuff Packs, so I will post it when/if I get everything up and running correctly for those who are looking for info.

If you're stupid enough to need a step by step guide on how to install the fucking game, we're really not going to hold our collective breath for you to get everything up and running correctly.

Oh, ok.

Still, I'm logging the steps I've taken and will post them for anyone who is interested. Not for jeromycraig, though. He's not interested cause he's too smart.

I've installed all the stuff packs and the expansion packs. I know if they need to be installed in a specific order or not. I know if and how to patch the games properly. But, I'm not going to tell you since such effort is clearly just wasted on one as dumb as you.

Didn't EAxis already beat you to this? Pretty sure the first page of the manual has Installing the Game in big letters at the top of it.

I wouldn't trust the information you've got, anyway, Jesslla.  :-*

Oh, welcome back Jeeves!

Oh look, I knew the Tard had a sock account. Thanks for outing yourself. KILL IT WITH FIRE.

Heh.

You're too smart for me. Can't get anything past you.

For some reason this hamtard evokes Danni more than the Alphatard to me. I am inclined to inquire as to the state of its spoons.

Well, I got everything working first time around, no thanks to you guys.  :P
Today I have proven to myself that I am only retarded in spirit.

Although most won't admit this just out of meanness,  ;) I did figure out why there were no real responses to my thread.
It is because it was a ton of work, listing all of the patches that came one after another, etc and so forth. I would have called the OP retarded and wasted her time rather than work on a long, detailed post like that. Some of you are just evil and wouldn't help out Mother Theresa if she asked for a bowl of rice.  :D (I know, she's not with us anymore. I'm sure she had eaten rice at some point in her long life.)

I will state for the record, that this process was not difficult. It was just time consuming and annoying to have to download all of the patches and sit around while they installed, etc. Overall, not too bad with a cup of coffee and a good book.

MATY is full of a$$holes and I love ya. But, not as much as I used to.

The thing that I came to in all of this is that it always WAS/IS fun to watch Pescado at work. When he makes fun of someone, it isn't usually out of plain meanness, and it is almost always witty and well placed. Some of you (Claeric, Jeeves, Jeromycraig) take that and ruin it by not making any sense at all when being evil. I felt like I could blush from embarrassment :-[  for some of you because of the ridiculous comments you made. Some (ok, most) were SO lame and lacked any wit or humor, I felt like I was in the midst of a grammar school playground of angry, friendless brats who will inevitably grow up to be social morons. (Claeric, Jeeves, Jeromycraig) (Oh my, and here we are...) Most of the kids who are just mean to be mean and belittle people, they are the ones who were picked on relentlessly, or have had some sort of Freudian trauma in their lives (small anatomy, perhaps?), (Claeric, Jeeves, Jeromycraig) ::) hence have never really moved on from feeling like children who want to feel big. (Claeric, Jeeves, Jeromycraig)

At least Pescado has intelligent humor. You guys pale in comparison. (Claeric, Jeeves, Jeromycraig) (Most of those who posted here, anyway) The ones who are actually witty, are somewhat well adjusted in life and have survived here even with the new crowd... well, you know who you are, and you're probably just as bored with these morons (Claeric, Jeeves, Jeromycraig) as I am.  8)

Ummm, you do know it only takes one, right?... OK, apparently not.
It only takes one. (http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,18075.msg522587.html#msg522587)
Since you are clearly functionally retarded, I will provide a further hint: Start at the thread titled, quite prominently, "New Patch 1.15/2.10/3.6/4.3" and work from there.

ETA:Discredited trope. My life is awesome, I'm just a sociopath. Does it hurt to be that stupid?

Actually, no, I wouldn't give Mother Teresa a bowl of rice, because she was a sham.

No, you fucking moron, it's because it is THUNDERINGLY OBVIOUS that you install the games in the order they were released.  Each game PATCHES ALL THE INSTALLMENTS before it, so you only need to patch on the last installed game.  Everyone and their retarded hamster knew this, and were so astounded that a person exists who is too dense to figure this most basic of things out, that we were quite content to watch you flounder.  It's not bullying if the fat kid is pantsing himself and throwing his lunch money away.

You trust the EA launcher to patch your game? It's THUNDERINGLY OBVIOUS you're a moron.

Get off the jezz.  He actually is the posterboy for patching tools that bypass the launcher.  This advice is tailored to idiots who can not manage to navigate a download and installation all by themselves.

/warning

Previous games being patched by subsequent games have NOTHING to do with the launcher or EADM Tool of Evil at all, so I am failing to see where you get your information from, other than your ass.

ETA:


Are we talking about the same Pescado here? Owner of the site, coder to the gods, "MOAR FIGHT WALK IT OFF YOU PUSSY OMGWTFBBQ" Pescado? Coz while I agree that it's "almost always witty and well placed", it's usually just out of plain meanness, sweetie. Truefax.


LOL! I find it hilarious to the n-th degree that you, YOU, who are too fucking stupid to be able to install THE SIMS and expansions, are complaining about the lack of intelligent insults. Hey, you're welcome to try and up the standard whenever you are ready - if you can (which I seriously fucking doubt if your fare in this thread is anything to go by).

And you say that *I* have no sense of humour - I'm serious, I can't stop snorting with laughter over here. In my experience with butthurt (which has been extensive), that's the first defense of the butthurt: "I made a joke! I'm not butthurt/stupid/fail! Sheesh, don't you have a sense of humour?"

I contest that you wouldn't recognize a good and witty insult if it slithered up your ass having to first squeeze past your head, and bit you in the tonsils.


Your psycho-analysis intruiges me. By which I mean "pull the other one, it has got bells on". Tell me, do you KNOW anything about psychology? REAL psychology, not the asinine psuedo-pop-psychology you see on Oprah and Dr. Phil? Coz if you do, you need to re-do those courses, for verily you SUCK at it. Which is not surprising, given your mental deficiency, but still. Tut tut.


Appeal to the lurkers? Don't stop now, do tell us what exactly these "new crowd" people are (is it like "new age"? "New Atheism"? I am intruige!), and why the "bored" ones would stick around at a site they find so soul-numbing if they are sooooo intelligent and well-adjusted, since you have such deep and intimate knowlege of the thoughts and motivations and backgrounds of MATY members.

God, finally there has been some intelligent meanness. Thank you.

Now, I want to clarify, and will do so in my previous post. When I say "you guys" I mean these people:

Claeric
jeromycraig
jeeves

They were the main posts, the ones that posted completely useless things, and they were my focus. They are completely lame, and not just here in this thread have I seen it. I know I'm not the only one who agrees.
 
I actually enjoyed reading the new posts. I kept waiting for Witch to join in, because she knows her shit. I have felt, more than once that when she was being mean to someone, I should feel ashamed of myself. Now, that is the real thing, my friends, when one can do such voodoo.  ;D

EDIT:
There, I have amended my last post to clarify. Thanks for your constant understanding and patience, my good people. ( of course, that doesn't include: (Claeric, Jeeves, Jeromycraig)), because they are useless. I will happily amend these posts at any point if/when I feel I've met another useless moron.  Just look for your name in red lights.   ;D

I told you in the beginning that I was retarded. Why does everyone feel the need to exclaim my retardation as though it is an original thought? Could it be because there are many retards here who need to hear it that many times to understand? Yes, I think that could be the answer I seek.
 

I think you got the responses you earned.

Yawn. On to the next poster, then.

Oh no! Please don't butthurt me! Please! *cower* *whimper*



/sarcasm

(http://cats.moreawesomethanyou.com/dude.jpg)

Dude, I want no part of your ass, no matter how much you beg.  But if you dangle a salt shaker, you might interest Trixiebelle.

/truth

Diiiiirty!

Could I just point out that Opium Girl has been here since 2006, posting the same retarded shit. Those of you who think pointing out her stupidity is somehow going to make a difference might as well waste your time smashing your heads up against the brick wall that is the Whale.

ETA: I am enjoying the name checking thing in red though. I wonder if I can get on its list. Hey, Opium Girl, your attempts to seem hip are laughably inept.

When you install TS3's stuff packs and expansions?  And it says, during the installation, "NOW PATCHING previous versions"?  What that means, you see, is that it is PATCHING PREVIOUS VERSIONS, which has nothing to do with the launcher, because it is part of the AUTORUN INSTALLATION PROCESS, you fucking idiot.

Yes, that was already covered by at least TWO OTHER PEOPLE jamming their egos in and out of a tub of vaseline, thank you.

The juxtaposition of this with your avatar's blowjobface was totally worth the $50 and the days of nagging, amirite?

Chillingly, that's the last thing his adoptive son sees before lights go out every night.  :(

I thought that was a reaming face - since Shouty! Vole! is so ridonkulously unreliable and quite frankly, disturbing WANTING TO FUCK HIS ADOPTIVE SON WTF?, that it's constantly being torn a new one to alleviate the crap that obviously can't exit through any other means (i.e. ass) because of constant reaming.

Also, OpiumTard - really, you sound just like YiffTard/Asstear/Celestard's kinky 3-way love/haet child. You should work on that or sue your parents, or yourself. Or something.

ETA: Fuckin' posting, how does it work?

1) You trust EA's installer to work better than their Launcher? Why?

2) Even assuming the installer is better programmed, it is still limited to whatever patch EA put on the disk when it went gold, not the current patch. Fail.

3) The installer has never patched my game. Instead, it likes to complain that I'm already patched to a newer patch than it supports.

4) You're late. Do you really need Claeric to graphically point that out?

5) Your ridiculous changes in font size make you look like a shouty tard. Is that how you want to look?

1-3)  When you're doing a fresh install of all the disks, each one patches the others before it.  It is an automatic process, and if the last disk is a very recent release, it patches your entire game to date.  You CAN procure all the patch files yourself beforehand and not have to rely on the installer, but that is an unnecessarily bothersome and idiotic task.  Yes, the launcher is flawed, but there is a point where your EA paranoia starts to make you look like a tinfoil-hatted moron.

4) There isn't really a statute of limitations in place here.

5) Given your reading comprehension failures, I had to make sure you didn't miss the salient points.  My responses are always tailored to meet the Special Needs of the person to whom they are directed.  It is that personal touch that means so much.

Oh, how cute, a noobtard lecturing a senator. Aren't you just the most precious thing ever?

As Snowbawl already pointed out jezzer is the number one champion of third party patching programs. He was merely pointing out to the stupids that EA does apply a patch to previous games when installing the next one. I'm sorry you're too stupid to have figured that out. It's got to be hard not having a brain. :(

My point, exactly.

For the record, I *am* hip, I just can't help it...(e-hem)   ;D but, if I really, really wanted to be hip, I would have more posts and hang around more often. Perhaps I hope for a little love when I am around. Love me when I'm gone..... (singing).
The most posts I ever made in one spread was on ugly sims. People got really touchy about it. Geez. Sorry, but so many Sims are just plain ugly, yet there are all these kids who scream "ooooo hawwwwt!", and, upon seeing the same images, well I'm usually saying "Ugh, I just vomited in my mouth for a moment." I don't care if you like me or not for it.   ;D

Before that, I was always very civil. :-*

EDIT 1:  Nothing could ever make me hate you, rohina. Have at me, say what you will, I'll never budge. :)

EDIT 2:
 Just a note:
If I had secretly been *lying* about getting my game all fixed, then it *may* just be that I got someone to divulge the information I needed a few posts back.  ::)

If this pastiche of sentence fragments and smilies was intended to make me hate you, instead of being indifferent, congrats, it worked.

There is a difference between conspiracy theories and recognizing patterns of poor quality control.  Thanks for playing, please try again!



Being a senator is supposed to mean something?

Cyberdildo, if you feel the need to hunt down each and every patch file yourself and apply them between game installations, feel free.  The results are going to be the same.  It still doesn't negate the fact that you decided to show your ass by jumping into a discussion with "ZOMG LAUNCHER HAET!!!!!11!" when the launcher wasn't even being discussed.  I'm sorry that the launcher touched you on your no-no hole when you were a 6, but it's time to stop seeing launchers around every corner and lurking under your bed.

Ok jeromycraig, you finally gave me a chuckle. At last, a witty insult instead of merely acting like a belligerent ass. I knew you could Be Less Stupid. That's all I really wanted.

About hunting down patch files, there's no need. The 3rd party patch downloader over at MTS is good at doing that for me, and in fact I already have the patch files thanks to it.  Others here have said you're a major proponent for this patch downloader, so I find it odd that you have yet to mention it.

Anyway, I have not yet had any need to uninstall and reinstall my game, but if I did I would simply install them in release order and then use the patch downloader to insure that everything is properly patched to the current patch.  I don't suppose you have any complaints about that plan?


At this point, I'm willing to concede the argument. I was just poking you for not including the patch downloader in your advice anyway. In the meantime, I'm checking my closet for launchers.  :P

Aw look, someone has a crush on jezzers. HOW SWEET.

More like "someone is a patronizing asshole who is all hat and no cattle, and has a crush on jermy." And it is sweet like antifreeze.

So he is a Brokeback wannabe cruising MATY for sexy mens?  Well that explains a lot.

The reason I didn't bring up the patch downloader from MTS in connection with Opiumtard's issue was because AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME, it was irrelevant to the issue.  Right now, installing all the EP's in order will result in having your game patched to the most recent version without having to do anything but install.  If another patch had been released AFTER Fast Lane came out, I'd be all about promoting the patch program (actually, in this case, I'd STILL be mocking her stupidity, but someone with a working brain who needed advice would be told about the MTS patcher).

Oh, alright. Unfortunately for me, being hated by you does not make me feel unique in any way. Alas, I am just one of many. If, on the other hand, you professed your love (or even like) for me, I might feel like the only person in the world. (I refrained from using another a smiley right here, just to cool down your hatred for me before your back end erupts, much like a whale might do.)

Just an update:
Sadly, unless anyone objects, I'm closing this thread since there is a whole thread on this very topic. I am going to leave it for tonight to let anyone who wants a last word have at it. I hate to end the fun, but I also hate to leave a useless thread open. I would like to thank you all for participating. In particular, I would like to thank a few very (un)special people (Claeric, Jeeves and Jeromycraig) for making me realize that there truly are people more useless and moronic than myself. (I really could have used a smiley here.)

Oh, and thanks for answering my question! (I hate to gloat, but.....)

Do you really have to announce every little mundane task you perform?

"BREAKING NEWS:  Having relieved myself, I shall now blot my lady parts with a tissue."

I am enjoying this delusion you have of having mod powers. We're not done here until everyone who wants to spork you has sporked his or her fill.

Oops, I thought I had that power. I guess someone *does* object, then.
Okay, spork away then! I'm ready for more, baby.

I just caught this post... it was that easy ignore, I guess.
But God, JeromyCraig, (and I say this with a big grin on my face) you are so freaking lame. Just keep going. Keep trying. Eventually, you may actually say something that someone cares to hear.

LMAO at LamiumLameGirl pointing the lame finger of lameness at anyone else.

I'm somewhat confused as to how the same "unspecial" people get their names listed in damn near every post. You must deem them fairly important if you find it necessary to drone on and on about nothing of any importance to anyone. Feel free to continue droning though; your pathetic attempts at insulting people are somewhat humourous. You know, in a pathetic sort of way.

INORITE! It can't even install and patch THE SIMS, and it's so consistently boring and fail that I conclude that its attempt to make off my awesome senator as being "lame" is just an admission of how deeply disturbed it is by how great jezzer is.

It's like saying "Oh, Gandhi is just a coward" while KNOWING that you yourself would never in a million years be able to obtain his level of brilliance and self-sacrifice and be able to mean something constructive to the world.

This realization (that someone is SO much better than you that you'd never even START catching up) is so damaging to the Id that the subject's Superego must then attempt to cast said superior person into the reality of what the subject sees in and about itself, in order for the subject to continue the illusion of self-worth and esteem - thus Gandhi becomes a coward, because the subject actually (correctly, though mostly subconsciously) perceive THEMSELVES to be the coward.

In the same way, OpiumLame continues to deride Jeromy, because it KNOWS that it itself is so full of fail that the ONLY thing it is ABLE to succeed in is failing throughout the course of its life.

It's all very clear and basic, really.

Its delusions of mod powers as natural, unquestioned and its due also bears out this theory - I really did lol at THAT particular bit of stupidity.

I was particularly amused when it announced, "This conversation is over, and I shall now swan off to be boring and stupid somewhere else," waved its hand, and the thread didn't close.

I thought The Butt was supposed to be a specialist in intelligent meanness. I'm disappointed.

I said my peace. Take it as you will.

I wonder how someone says their "peace"? "HI I AM PEACE?" I mean, that makes little to no sense at all.

Ok, let's think about this for a moment.  You think that "touching your no-no hole" is intelligent wording, yet frown on rohina's well-turned phrase.  Yeeeah.  
Why don't you just spread those cheeks a little wider, bend over a little further and give it a little wiggle.  Small furry creatures might be enticed by your no-no hole; which, I am sure, would suit you just fine.

Okay, the way I am going to take it is "someone who makes basic homonym errors failed to recognise intelligent meanness." Thanks for the lulz, Cyberdildo. I shall add you to the P&L list for Grammar Day.

To Jeromycraig,

I can just sense your complete unattractiveness in real life. You are probably an extremely puddin' faced in human form, as well as in spirit  Jeromycraig. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I just have this intense feeling of revulsion every time you speak. I can only imagine what I would find if confronting you face to face. Oops, I almost vomited at the very thought.

Didn't you sod off after failing to close this thread?  And yet, here you still are, hanging on my every word. 

It must be my Axe.  I thought the commercials were exaggerating the "Axe Effect", but no.

If you had read a few posts back, Jeromycraig, you would have seen that rohina discouraged me from doing so by telling me that I had no power to do it.
(rohina, how about moving it to Retardo Land?)

I would miss you though, Jeromycraig. Truly. My favorite color is maroon. (I kid you not.)
Hey don't take everything so personally, Jeromycraig. We are here on MATY, you know. All in good fun, right?

I'm going to have to try a different fragrance, though.  So far, "Tardnip" has been disappointing.

It looks like jeromycraig has a new pet following him around the place.

Did I leave the iron on?

Well, Jeromycraig, you've actually said something that I could almost consider.... dare I say, slightly humorous?
Unfortunate that it was only a fluke. I mean, after over a thousand posts, probability is that there must be at least ONE post that shows a sign of intelligence. I witnessed history, today.

I am shocked and saddened by this cut throat attack on the Senate. How dare a vile peasant have the gall to criticise this august body. Off with his head I say.

On another note, anyone else picking up notes of Boobzilla wafting from OpiumTard's general direction? OpiumTard, are you related to the aristocracy by any chance? A Scandinavian viscount or OneBigLumpistan baron perhaps?

I daresay this store brand saltine is just as crisp and salty as the national brand.

Why does jermy get his name in red, but I don't get mine in purple. DISCRIMINATION!

Rohina

I don't think they should still make Paul Newman's salad dressing after he died, because it lacks his personal touch.

Actually, Jeromygraig (as you've called him) followed *me* over to that other thread, not the other way around, and just to say MOAR useless and unintelligible things. So, this new "yeah, she's following me around" kick he's on is actually pure bullshit. Watch. I'll bet he can't stop himself from posting on any other thread I show my face in. So lame. So, so lame.

Added:
Personally, I like rohina's spelling of his name better... Jermy just seems more.... fitting.

Some choices change lives.  The choice Joey Potter made changed...  EVERYTHING.

You're welcome. I'm happy to help the easily amused.

By the way, the correct spelling is recognize, and there's no homonym error.

You are a dumbass.  "Recognise" is a perfectly valid spelling.  You must remember (if your tiny brain permits such a thing), not everyone here is USistani and some people use Britland variants.

I looked it up, and you're correct. "Recognise" is the British spelling of the word.

I apologise for this criticism and retract it.

Don't you mean "apologize"? 

Seriously, though, it is nice to see someone able to step outside the fight and admit mistake without getting all defensive about it.

Are you too stupid to know what a homonym is, or too stupid to see where you have committed a homonym error? Curious minds and all that.

Imma help you out, Dodo, hint: peace/piece.  You can not really comment on intelligence if you are going to make such egregious errors.  Though it is a tad amusing to see you flail.

Piece? Piece of what? Piece of cheese? Piece of pastrami? Piece of ugly butt? No.

Peace, for those here unfamiliar with the word, means the opposite of Moar Fight.

I wrote exactly what I meant. I did not say a "piece" of anything. I declared my intention to discontinue arguing with jeromycraig, because I felt we had come to some common ground in our dispute.  The phrase I used is considered valid in the parts of the world I am from and have visited.

Thank you, snowbawl, for the help in pointing out where people think I made an error.

You used a common idiom.  Do you know what that is?  The accepted form uses "piece".  Using "peace" is a common mistake.  You hold your "peace".  You speak your "piece". 

And right after I commended you for not getting defensive.

It actually is "said my piece".  As pointed out here (http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/001884.html), a mistake being common doesn't make it any less of a mistake.

So we can add parochialism and arrogance to the list of your faults, then.

I think I just made that point, but thanks for the back-up hammer.

I brought the added fun of SOURCES!

DO YOU MEAN TO SAY I AM NOT AN AUTHORITY!?  ;)

pshaw.

Thank you for that link. It was an interesting read.

However, that article does not at any time state that one form or the other of this idiom is correct. It is a discussion of the trend in the lexical trade between piece and peace within some idioms.


In the case of idioms, if a mistake becomes common enough, it is no longer a mistake. However, for the time being I will concede the point. I used an incorrect idiom. It is still not a homonym error.

That's one of my favorite facepalm pics  ;)

Do you even know what a homonym is?  Now tell me how you did not make a homonym error, since you have conceded that YOU USED THE WRONG WORD THAT IS PRONOUNCED EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE CORRECT WORD!  I suppose now you are going to argue that they are not pronounced the same, or that they actually mean the same thing.

If I intended to use the word piece but wrote peace, that would be a homonym error. However, I intended to use the word peace and I wrote the word peace. Therefore I did not make a homonym error. I used the correct word, with the correct spelling, for my intended purpose.  Why is that such a difficult concept to understand?

Actually, never mind. Don't bother explaining why you fail to comprehend. I'm no longer interested.

You officially have a Head Peen^tm.

You should hook up with rufio, you could have headpeen fights.

Yes, but you intentionally used the WRONG WORD.

Your intended ignorance doesn't excuse you from the mistake.

Wow! Double score! Not only does it turn out that Cyberdildo was indeed too stupid to know WHERE it made a homonym error, it was ALSO too stupid to even know what a homonym error is in the first place.

PROTIP: Just because you INTENDED to use the incorrect word in a fixed idiom because you learned from other ignoramuses that that's how it should be used (what kind of asshats do you hang out with, anyway?) doesn't mean that it isn't still one of the classic homonym errors.

This is most gratifying indeed, and I think I shall request a splatter bonus, or failing that, a piledriver bonus.

"Piledriver" makes me think of Claeric.
