Muxec didn't learn English that well - it's archaeology

[Tam04xa]

This is where I learned English also. Before Apolyton, all I knew was ebonics.

I'm asking who it is because I've no idea who he is.

From reading his wikipedia, he is the most important Dane ever but completely inconsequential and unimportant to the US. It's funny that you idolize him so. Fitting, perhaps.

I loved his Adventures of Don Two ["two" instead of "juan" because of inflation].

Sorry, you need to keep at least somewhat track of what happened more than six months ago, if you want to appear at least a halfway cultivated person. "Six months ago" --> many decades ago?

I don't care about low-rate, low-budget, unfunny humour from shows decades before I was born -- sorry, it's just not interesting nor relevant.

Maybe if you had any concept of cultural relevance you'd recognize that not everyone is into the same shows, especially when they predate one's birth by decades. That is common sense to most people, but not to Danes.

Edit: Also note the irony that Winston knows nothing about current culture since he proudly proclaims he doesn't own or watch TV, yet he gets on my case for not knowing the details about a Danish comedian from the 1950s.

Whatever the Hell this is you have going on, I'm not going to pursue it any further. Just like I wouldn't try to get a baby to appreciate the joy of a good crossword puzzle and a cup of steaming hot coffee. WTF?

I am both kickass at crossword puzzles (online! the internet. it's new, try it.) and I love hot coffee.

Go see the new Batman movie, Asher. Again. I hate comic books and all comic book derived movies. The only reason I'll see the new Batman movie (when it's on DVD) is to see Heath Ledger's final performance.

Do you even know who Heath Ledger is?

But don't dwell on it too much. It might divert your attention from last season's hockey standings, which would be a terrible thing to befall an altogether splendid guy like yourself. You're pretty crap at both the debating thing (which you've abandoned here) as well as the insulting/character assassination thing (which you are now trying).

Let's face facts -- you're someone who is completely and utterly and PROUDLY ignorant about current cultural phenomena but you're giving me **** for not knowing the details of a Danish comedian born in 1909. You're ****ing delusional and thick, and your attempted troll involved BATMAN (what the ****) and a dig about hockey standings (like following sports is beneath a cultured person, yet someone who listens to a long-dead comedian talk about fat women making curves in a piano is a cultural savant) is just bizarre.

I am Gordon Ramsay to your Paula Deen. Look at that, more cultural references you're oblivious to.

It is a lot funnier to watch then to read Asher.

@ rah...K-Tel records, many,many, memories

Mom and Dad had a lot of those records!

Borge sits down at the piano. He thinks for a moment, twists around and says to the right side of the audience: "Pardon my back."

He turns back to the piano, thinks another moment and then says to the left side of the audience; "Pardon my front."

Big deal. The second highest paid was Lassie.
