Definitely "an" if not "the".
I think the proper response when anyone brings up a late-90's internet sensation is to feign ignorance.
I read somewhere (the Boratasm all blends together at this point) that Sasha Baron Cohen based the character on a journalist he actually met.
The ping-pong scene prompted me to think about "I kiss you!" guy for the first time in years. Good times.
Maybe the truth is that they're all like that over there.
Am I the last person in the world to find out that you could turn Google News searches into RSS feeds? Sweet.
He had me up until the "I like sex" line. But, what with my being a nice Catholic girl and all ... I think "like" is a lukewarm statement at best.
IA, I once heard a wise Jesuit opine that "like" is often used to express something more genuine and heartfelt than "love."
Ogged, We really need to talk about your Catholic fetish, not to mention your Jesuit complex. Does your mother know?
Great, now *this* comment section is going to be cybersexmania. I kiss you!!
She damn well should be afraid, so far as I can tell (this to #13). #14, who said anything about cybersexmania? That's so yesterday. We've moved on to theology.
It's ok IA, from here on out, I'm taking the path of least resistance. I'm not going to withold my seed because I think the good life requires it or any bunk like that.
Purity of essence, ogged! Respect your bodily fluids.
Forget it Labs. You fight it out with my mother, if it means that much to you.
While SBC gives a tip of the hat to Mahir in the film ("I kiss you!", skimpy swimsuit, and ping pong), the Borat character began development in 1995, based on a Russian doctor that Cohen met.
#16: Well, glad to hear it, Ogged. Because, you know, withholding is beta, and I do think you need to get in touch with your alpha tendencies.
(Dear god, did I just write that?! Please put it down to skittishness over tomorrow's elections).
I'm not going to withold my seed because I think the good life requires it or any bunk like that.
It's not withholding if you can't find anyone to take it from you.
You're right Ben; though why you mention that fact here, I haven't a clue.
Young b-wo should shut up, and then talk.
Wovon junger B-Wo nicht sprechen kann, darüber muß er schweigen.
"like" is often used to express something more genuine and heartfelt than "love."
This actually makes sense. Expressions of love can be seen as obligatory in some situations (with family, spouses, etc.), while "like" can a more honest expression since it doesn't have those same expectations attached to it.
You're right Ben;
And that guy over there, he's wrong Ben.
I'm going to assume that 30 was posted solely for your own amusement, because a rules-for-rule's-sake correction of my 22, in addition to being contrary to the spirit of w-lfs-n, would be littler and bitchier than ever before.
Wovon junger B-Wo nicht sprechen kann, darüber muß er schweigen.
You're not fooling anyone. I can picture you now: sitting with your hands clasped, your head bowed; your eyes on your zipper, your lips repeating, Conjunction junction, what's your function?
a rules-for-rules-sake correction of my 22, in addition to being contrary to the spirit of w-lfs-n
Are we thinking of the same guy?
Let's not forget that Early Wittgenstein was gay.
But then the ex-gay movement helped him see the light.
As recounted in Peter Galison's study of Vienna philosophy and sexuality, "Aufbau/Bathhouse".
'I once heard a wise Jesuit opine that "like" is often used to express something more genuine and heartfelt than "love."'
Me too, except it wasn't a wise old Jesuit, it was Larry King. King's wisdom is the thing of a moment -- there's no transcript archive. (It's a common mistake, Ogged! Don't feel downcast or crestfallen. You were probably drunk, anyway.)
Guys, here's how you can tell if you're in love. Just ask yourself, "If I thought I was going to lose her, would I be willing to kill her?" No one ever says "I killed her because I liked her."
Ladies, there's probably a different question for you. I don't really bother myself with female troubles, but your test question is probably "Do I wish he was on Death Row so he could be all mine and would always answer my letters?" (An alternative question is "Does each cigarette butt and each beer can I pick up make me love him more?")
O.J. pioneered a new breakthrough in hypotheticality and denial when he said, "If I had killed her, it would have been because I loved her so much." Analytic philosophers are studying his statement with an eye toward generalizing it and developing a whole new ethical genre.
The problem psychopaths have, if you call it a problem, is that they love toomany people.
Ladies, there's probably a different question for you.
No, I always ask myself this question. And then: stab! stab! stab!
MCMC, you seem to be feeling anger. Would you like to talk about that?
What O.J really did say was, "If I killed her, it was for love." He wasn't really big on modals and perfectives.
