Delusions of Grandeur and Plain Weird09 Nov 2009 09:15 am

That one uncle. The one you thought was hilarious when you were five. Now you try to avoid him at family gatherings, because he’ll have a hilarious practical joke to play, or he’ll have legally changed his name to “Lord Tittybottoms.” Perhaps he wears a bow tie inappropriately, or perhaps it’s a squirting flower in his lapel. He tries too hard and you know you shouldn’t hate him for it, but you do. You hate yourself a little for hating him, and that makes you hate him just a bit more.

Oh, by the way he loves the BBC blog network.

Now that youve got that off your chest Robert, how about your take on fractional reserve banking ,how you must be longing to tell us about the BANKING wonder of creating fiat currency from thin AAAir AND THEN CHARGING INTEREST ON IT

DESPITE their HAVING CONSUMED ALL THE RISK CAPITAL IN THE FORM OF BONUSES ,its back to pleaserr can i have sumawe

Maw they want some maw ,certainly how much maw

Is their no end to the governments farce saving measures?

Banking is a Sirwould forrest full of Robing hoods and Friar plucks
SpartacusmartyrAAAs

I think all the “AAA” bollocks is a reference to the risk grading that triggered the credit crunch, but then, also on the subject of pattern-matching in random data, I thought I saw a cloud shaped exactly like a Volkswagen Beetle yesterday. Don’t sprain your brain trying to decode it. Just enjoy those carefully-constructed puns…

Why are our pollytitians so in thrall to the conmen good

Pollytitians, good one. Conjures up a mental image of you on Newsnight with a feather duster and a tribe of diddymen.

Our pollytitians are still being mesmerayesed by banksterr lunatics.

These are not just puns, these are tortured, hand-twisted puns, smothered in overthinking, glazed with a light coating of impenetrability and garnished with a rotating light-up bowtie.

An early example of Quantitative easink in the sawsirerrors AAAprentice,notice the stunning resemblance of Michael Mouse to Ben Bernanke [ been banker]

I had a different Ben in mind, actually. This sort-of reminds me of Benjamin Zephaniah. With a head injury.

    Sorry to point out the obvious but the 3 “A”s has nothing to do with credit rating. AAAs = Arse.
    They are capital “A”s because the guy is a massive arse.

    Case closed.

    When Gordon Brown placed his wreath at the cenotaph, on stepping back he omitted to bow his head. Was this an innocent mistake or a deliberate emulation of Michael Foot’s donkey jacket disrespect some years ago.?

    I’ve met Benjamin Zephaniah. Lovely man, he is, and his work doesn’t deserve being mentioned in the same sentence as the pisspoor arsedribble that this suppurating salamander’s spunksack is inflicting on us.

    PS ‘Robing hoods’ just made me think of a band of renegade dressing gowns floating through the Bank of England filling their pockets with coins. A thought 1000000000 x more imaginative than SartacusMartyr’s pure shite.

    PPS Are they STILL on about Foot’s jacket? Really? An elderly man wearing a warm coat when stood around for hours in cold weather is a national slur that can never be forgiven? I want to go back to bed.

    No, if that were true then surely a more appropriate… whatever that is… would be symbolised by three Cs.

    I think Kelvin’s description is pretty accurate, although I think the unspoken agreement here is that we really really need to argue some more about what a pun is and provide each other with Wikipedia links and dictionary definitions to prove a point.

    However, getting back to Kelvin’s description, I think Spartacus Twatbubble is a recent retiree who’s been forced into annuity right at the bottom end of the FTSE crash and didn’t look hard enough at the investment policy of his holder to realise all the index linking was weighted toward RBS and Lehman Brothers. Unlike the guys campaigning daily outside the ANZ headquarters here, he’s decided to be sarcastic on a blog.

    Well done, Spartacus BrainfAAArt. I salute your symbolic impotence and your 21st century equivalent of slapping your bare buttocks against the window of AXA’s high street branches one by one.

    – Hey, Pete, Pete, get in here! I really hate the troops, and I reckon the best thing for my dwindling popularity would be to show some subtle disrespect for them on the remembrance service on Sunday. Any idea what I could do?
    – Well Gordon, you could always “forget” to bow your head as you step back. Then your subtle message will go right over the heads of the anti-war lefties who don’t really care about those things, but send a subtle message all those upstanding patriots who are obsessed with “our boys”, watch the service like hawks in the hope someone will slip up and are desperate for yet another excuse to hate you.
    – Brilliant. I’ll go and practice right now. Would it help my popularity if I took a big shit on the wreath as well?

  6. on 09 Nov 2009 at 11:19 am Jesus Chris

    November 11th isn’t even on fucking Sunday anymore. Fucking Brown, moving the days. A BNP government would arrange the days so that November 11th falls on a Sunday every year.

    Now that the e[MPerrror] connermists [FOGGYTYPES] are down to their PriMall birthday suits, their associated for Keynes silly QE’rs will be working behind the scenes on Brow Near0′sinurgies ,using their dydle doe poker game till the AAAyes are no more[ having played their laaast hand] and the securitAAAyesed pot at the end of the rAAAinbow is gone back to Vaaalhaaallaaa.

    He’s saying “queers”. You see what he did there? He said QE’rs to mean “those who are responsible for quantitative easing” and then slipped in a homophobic slur.

    I’d be in awe of his genius, but I’m still trying to decipher what the fuck he’s trying to say.

    Small fry. Far more effective would be penning a crap, shoddy, misspelt letter to a grieving mother of a dead soldier mate. Something the sun newspaper could reproduce for all to read.

    I had a look at SpartafAAArter’s profile. He should be shot for crimes against the English (not British) language. Still, nice to see him managing to get homophobia consistently past the HYS mods.

  10. on 09 Nov 2009 at 11:56 am Ugly Newt

    “ pleaserr can i have sumawe” , “Sirwould forrest full of Robing hoods”, “mesmerayesed”.

    It /could/ be the result of overegging the punning, but it could also be really bad speech recognition software. Or fat-fingered predictive text. With the wrong language settings. Or being a balrog’s ballooning ballsack. Or all of the above.

  11. on 09 Nov 2009 at 12:05 pm Kelvin

    Hang on dearies, I’m having a psychic flash…

    SpartacusmartyrAAAs’ record collection: 3 Black Lace albums on vinyl because those CDs just leave something missing that only a 12″ on his scratchy Matsui deck with a needle from 1986 can convey.

    SpartacusmartyrAAAs’ favourite film: The Italian Job, although not those boring car chases, the classic physical comedy of Professor Benny Hill.

    SpartacusmartyrAAAs’ idea of a good night out: Slowly working his way around the golf club bar telling his new joke to every couple in turn and revelling in their fake but polite laughter.

    SpartacusmartyrAAAs has three hats, and two of them are fezzes.

  12. on 09 Nov 2009 at 12:07 pm Kelvin

    SpartacusmartyrAAAs sometimes lies awake at night wishing Jive Bunny would make another album.

    The uncle I thought was hilarious when I was young did cool stuff like back flips in the street and robbing sweet shops (he went to prison of course).

    I seriously doubt that anyone anywhere, no matter their age, has ever found this twat funny, imagine the shame of him being a relative and cry for his children.

  14. on 09 Nov 2009 at 12:12 pm Kelvin

    Also, Spesh, no disrespect to the Zee-dizzle. I meant to imply it was quite a large brain injury.

    of bankerrs …..”it is knot enough for them to fail, others must sucksede” otherwise whats the point of their coque up except to doodledoo at the quack of Daaawn. SPARTACUSMARTYRAAAS

    I disagree, Kelvin. Even though they may be only five, Spartacusmartyr’s neices and nephews burst into howls of frightened tears and run like hell for the safety of Mummy’s skirt whenever he tries to delight them with his humorous antics. Kid’s learn fast. One encounter with Mister Chuckles is enough. He is completely mAAAd.

    Spaaartaaacarsehole is a rare and unique find, for which many thanks. I really do think he’s clinically unhinged though..one imagines him writing his rant in plain English, then spending hours hammering it into weird and unusual shapes that he imagines are “puns” (if I’m right..)

    I had to Google “dydl doe”, with quotes, because I didn’t understand what it means and still don’t – even Google couldn’t tell me what it means. But the fourth result is titled “giant pump rocket”, which, ironically, is a fitting description of SpartacusmartyrAAAs.

    Seriously, is that for real? Did someone write that, in earnest? I have no fucking idea what he’s supposed to be saying. This is confusing and saddening me, it really bloody is.

    As if I really need this after watching that Horizon documentary on black holes, which made me feel tiny and useless. But to know that no matter how infinite and unknowable the universe, and how imbalanced the ratio of humanity to nothingness is, to know that still, in the well of humanity this fucking loon exists.

    Christ, I’m glad I wore a belt to work today. Let’s hope the lavs have some piping on the ceiling.

  21. on 09 Nov 2009 at 1:22 pm Oh ffs

    No it’s a well-spotted adjective fail: describing something as rare means there are very few of them, describing something as unique means there’s only one. Hence the adjectives contradict themselves and Sparticarse is a Nelephant’s Necrotic Nutsack.

  22. on 09 Nov 2009 at 1:23 pm Shackleton

    And now I have to die knowing my last internet-based act was a massive, stinking blockquotes FAIL.

    Before I die, I shall find this cunt and do something really quite horrid to him.

  23. on 09 Nov 2009 at 1:57 pm Ugly Newt

    describing something as rare means there are very few of them, describing something as unique means there’s only one.

    In my book, “rare” doesn’t mean it has to be plural. But either way, describing something as “unique” means that there’s no point in also describing it as “rare”, making Sparta’s Marcus a first-class falcon foreskin.

  24. on 09 Nov 2009 at 2:44 pm Apricot Split

    FFS, something is unique or it’s not. Unique means there’s one only, no others. The pedant in me hates it when people say that something is “almost unique” or that several of something are unique when describing the individuals of a group. AAArrrgggghhh.

    Common >> Rare >> Unique

    Back on topic: Is this genius just trying to get round the moderators. I presume that all HYS posts go through an automated checker to flag up “key words”: Having said that, it must be a nightmare programming that thing, what with all the atrocious spellings.
    Is it me or has HYS got a little dull recently? Where have the star comments gone?

  25. on 09 Nov 2009 at 2:47 pm Kelvin

    Look at it this way:

    It’s rare that a language pedantry war doesn’t turn a comment thread into a big stinking pile of poo.

    It would be unique if a language pedantry thread was ever remotely interesting in the first place.

  26. on 09 Nov 2009 at 3:00 pm Theodore

    Three years from now rig AAARMortgagis will set in and necaromAAA’sy will be the order of the day for the lords of the flies types[with their trussirs on back to front] who wish to fill their AAA’s holes with the soylent green mAAAjority

    I think Professor Stanley Unwin’s boring, idiot younger brother must be responsible.

  27. on 09 Nov 2009 at 3:44 pm That Bloke in the Corner

    Let’s face it, spurtyfartarse has gone beyond a joke and is just a ranting loon of the usual HYS calibre, who thinks he is being ironic,clever,humourous etc, to get around the moderators, but is in reality the usual HYS twatbasket. Bring back Topsy Turvey, Joy Pattinson et al, at least they didn’t have to try.

  28. on 09 Nov 2009 at 3:49 pm Rotwatcher

    Do you mean tied onto his downstairs? Because that completes my mental image of SmartAAAARSEicus.

    SpartacusmartyrAAAs is convinced they’ve done something so that Ovaltine doesn’t taste like it used to in the ’70′s. He’s written letters but he doesn’t trust the replies he got.

    Twitter is like any other site. If you put yourself up, you must expect criticism. You will get opinions from all and sundry. Those who detest you, those who find you interesting. It is the way of the internet. ALL life forms use it. All life forms and blogs will pick on you if their sycophantic followers get a feeling of worth.
    Take it as a compliment. At least your interesting enough to be commented on. Personaly i love it, it makes me feel famous. bring it on people!!

    You’re not interesting Bruce. You’re a toolbox. That’s right, you’re not just a single tool, you’re an entire box of them and the box encasing the tools.
