Being a Libertarian who're always right - Priceless




I'll go ban myself for starting this thread now.

I read that story earlier and thought...wait till these guys watch Punkin Chunkin and get some ideas on how to REALLY launch their product across the border....but at what point does that get constituted as aerial assault and get the Air Force involved?

More of a trebuche than a catapult... but, eh, details.

Being a Libertarian who're always right - Priceless.

Except in matters of grammer. 

who're is a contraction for who are; though one doesn't usually contract the two. If you're referring to yourself it would be who is, or who's. If you're referring to all Libertarians, then a semi colon is appropriate. 'Being a Libertarian; who are always right.' - I keed I keed

But seriously, who're sounds just like whore when said... so make of that what you will.

[sbrguy]

it may be that the misspelling of the grammar and such with the whole "who're" and the misreading of the word for the word "whore" could have been an intended thing from the OP, if it was then the posting by the OP is even more witty.

aside from a suspect legitimacy when seen outside of colloquial usage in dialogue (see y'all), "who are" contracted or otherwise, does not work here...."a libertarian" is singular......

maybe if the author had employed parentheses as in "a libertarian (who are/who're always right)" it might squeak by

contractions are a potentially muddy area of the language

Was it Carlin that argued a 10 foot wall only needs a 12 foot ladder, and a 16 foot wall only needs an 18 foot ladder?

gotta give those guys some credit they're always coming up with new ways to get stuff across the border, kinda woulda been even funnier if they were flinging humans then i really woulda died laughing.

gotta love innovation

gotta love innovation

I picture it more like:

"Man, now whatta we gonna do, we got all this shit to get over that wall now"
"I don't know, but pass the bong this way"
::big puff::
"Hey, I got an idea"
::exhale::
