Slightly off subject, but while hiding from feds in USAF, got into a fight with a redneck in Greenville, Mississippi. He was sergeant, I was Airman third class. He was shitfaced drunk, so I caught a break when MP's showed. Still got busted to AB. Not for the fight, but for the tourniquet I was tightening around his neck to stop the cut on his head from bleeding.
If Aceofspades had been there, I am sure I would have beat the wrap. After all, I did have medical training.

"A few nights ago Rory's Roger iron rusted, so he has gone to the
battle-cruiser to watch the end of a football game. Nobody is watching
the custard so he has turned the channel over. A fat man's north opens
and he wanders up and turns the Liza over. `Now f**k off and watch it
somewhere else.' Rory knows claret is imminent, but he doesn't want to
miss the end of the game; so, calm as a coma, he stands and picks up a
fire extinguisher and he walks straight past the jam rolls who are
ready for action, then he plonks it outside the entrance. He then
orders an Aristotle of the most ping pong oddly in the nuclear sub and
switches back to his footer. `That's f**king it,' says the man. Rory
gobs out a mouthful of booze covering fatty; he flicks a flaming match
into his bird's nest and the man lit up like a leaking gas pipe. Rory,
unfazed, turned back to watch his game. The flaming man and his chinos
ran outside to extinguish the flames, and Rory cheered on. His team won
too, four-nil".

Enjoy :)

That's bastardized Cockney (Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels). It's not proper at all. That's the point :)

WhaleGeorge was AcesandEights playing a joke on FleaStiff back in February. It was a flash in the pan, one-day thing.

Axiom of Choice asked after WhaleGeorge the other day. A&8 signed in as WG for a few minutes to tease him, which also outed him as a dupe account.

I went back and looked at it, got that it was a prank, and gave A&8 a little time to finish it before I killed the WG account.

Until next time, on....As The Forum Turns.

The origin of the screen name is the two hands you always split in blackjack (unless it's a H17 LS game, in which case you should surrender 8s against an ace).

Later I found out it was a meaningful poker hand in some historical context (the dead man's hand, I think).

How common is this error? I had never seen anyone use "full proof" until I saw it on WOV and I have seen it here several times by several different posters. One of them never figured out why people were teasing him about it.

Are you sure its a different person? Just the other day this came up I'm 99% sure it was the same person both times.

PS. I didn't even get the fact you were making fun of them, I just thought you made the same mistake and noticed how they always say its full/fool proof. Now its funny.

I think it's the same person. I googled "full proof" betting system. WOV is the third hit, so I assume the error is not that common, but it has happened here frequently.

If 4 syllables are desired, 'irrespective' is the word to use. However, dictionaries do list irregardless as having the same meaning as regardless. Kind of like flammable and inflammable.
