Canonical buffalo buffalo is x7

wins, yeah, I know! I have never been able to get there. And I have tried! I have a degree in English and significant coursework in linguistics and after four or five buffalos my brain just shuts down. I admire people who get to seven. Take the W.

Sorry to drone on but there is another bit of geekdom where you try to end a sentence with as many prepositions as possible. It involves a parent who wishes to read a book about Australia to a child.

The hypothetical child says something like "Why did you bring that book that I don't want to be read to about Down Under up for?"

After that it gets recursive and it's tedious to reenact, so I will spare you.

Y'all are just off the chain.

The form of the 7 buffalo version is "Adjective noun verb noun (adjective noun verb)" where the part in parentheses is a dependent clause with an implied "that". So it's like: "California children eat cookies California children eat" but just replace all the words with "Buffalo".

xxp

Apologies to ilxors who prefer thread topic discipline to thread topic anarchy. We can redirect these digressions to more appropriate places if needed.

I was just about to say how I parse it differently to o nate & realised the version I know is actually x8

xp I love digressions. I also love nerdiness. Carry on.

I figured since we've all now settled on Trump is gonna win, may as well start fiddling with rapid-fire topic changes

threads with 2900 posts are allowed to shape their own interior symmetries

to be fair, I'd much rather spend my energy parsing that buffalo sentence than thinking about the titular dipshit any further.

If Trump wins, I am going to spend the following four years just saying "buffalo buffalo buffalo" to anyone who tries to talk to me

Titular dipshit's name is also a noun and verb, so we might be able to do something similar there. But I don't want to think about it.

Well, he'll be renaming the country Trump, so that may work well

Trumpopia

(And my prior post should have gone "Why did you bring that book that I don't want to be read to from out of about Down Under up for?")

Getting close to Smurf-talk, then. Trump trumped the trump trump by trumping the trump.

I'm trumped, Trump, I meant to trump the trump but trumped the trump trump before I could trump the trump. It won't trump again.

Trumps trump Trumps Trumps trump.

It's just Trumps all the way down.

You wanna Trump— What? Trump up and get Trumped

Apparently Trump's lawyer has covid, or at least people suspect she has covid. So there's at least one potential upside to covid sticking around.

and she was sitting right next to him

O Lord, please hear my prayers

Guys guys, calm down. We all know how disappointingly his last bout of covid turned out.

From what I remember he probably would have died without the presidential level care (and by now he's presumably replaced his medical team with 100% quacks).

I heard it was a jury member with covid, but hopefully they were within infection distance

This is the second time I'm rooting for the virus.

xpost Habba apparently had dinner with her parents a couple of days ago, and now they have covid, and she herself, despite testing negative this morning, has a fever and isn't feeling well. So whether it's covid, RSV, flu, herpes, pneumonia, a cold, cooties, whatever, here's hoping she gives him whatever it is she has.

yea it's not really getting talked about but the last few weeks of Trump/Biden polling has looked better for Joe

I have noticed the media has started paying attention to the fact that Trump is even more incoherent than usual, it's not even the weird rambling he usually does

Part of the reason for Trump's low poll numbers is just Republicans supporting Haley or whoever who aren't ready to come around to Trump just yet. But they will.

some of the polls only give Biden and Trump as options

In our new Pa poll, McCormick (in Senate race) is overperforming Trump (in POTUS race) w/ GOP voters because Trump is showing signs of GOP defections as a result of the divisive GOP nomination battle in Iowa/NH. Haley is the elephant in the room PUN INTENDED.

well sure some of those folks will wind up backing Trump but idk I kinda feel like committing 100 felonies and quoting Hitler may actually be a dealbreaker for some people

"We are an institute in a powerful death penalty"--that's Norm-Crosby level.

"We are an institute in a powerful death penalty" will make exactly zero difference to his supporters, who effortlessly extract his intended meaning when he says this kind of nonsense. What matters to them is the tune not the lyrics.

I think I read an account a week or so ago of a rally, and there's a conversation overheard between a couple of supporters who are on board until a certain point of the speech, at which time they said, okay, now he's just babbling, and then they left early. Apparently that's a common occurrence, even among the faithful.

take what he says melodically, not lyrically
