Talking convinced

yesterday at studio one of our old clients came in.. He was all bragging bout his gmc yokon. just to play with his nereves a lil, i started to talk isht bout his car, and of course i started braggin bout benzos

he was like too expensive i would never pay that kinda money for a car. i told him there is my benz take it for a spin

to make the long story short after that spin he wanted one.

the moral of the story is poeple dont appreciate benzos till they drive one

that

and i wanted to start a new thread

:p :p :p :p :p :p :

Once again, can somebody please translate what he just said. Maybe it's the spelling. Maybe it's his fear of the "shift" key. But, I just don't get it.

i wouldn't say they are useless.....not fun to be around some of the time but definitely not useless....

look at bill gates for one thing.....billionaire nerd.....wouldn't mind being one myself.....and they are the ones that have the patience to sit there and do all the coding for the software that makes our lives better......i took a course in programming once....damn know now i can't do that.....takes too much goddamn patience.....but they are able to do that and i commend it.....

Good job Sungulent, get more people to appreciate a bezo. They are great cars!

Nerds aren't useless, they do all the work when they are in your team!!!

Useless Huh? Were it not for the fact that nerds designed and engineered the car you love so much, the recording equipment you use and the internet I communicate my disdain to you with, s**t were it not for those reasons you would not have the opportunity to work in your current field, drive your current car or or read my words berating you right now. As far as I can tell you owe your existence to nerds. Furthermore you are simply lacking in skills that educated indviduals pride themselves in, specially communication skills (whats with the ebonics? or am I in the wrong forum?). Welcome to WyattWorld.


P.S. I am cuban and I did not come to this country until I was 14 so by all means do not come crying hispanic or any other minority bull. Just in case you are interested I am a card carrying propellerhead.

"I am a political refugee from Cuba...."


Sorry had to get that out, Scarface is one of my favorite movies of all time!

Wyatt is right, I dare anyone show us a picture of a bunch of meatheads standing around a Mercedes going, "deeeehhh Ay think this is connected to the big thingamajig" in the engineering department, that's what makes our cars so great.

Maybe you might see it at some American car manufacturers. Or maybe at the Mercedes service department.

I fail to see the connection between your statement <i>"Most Nerds are useless"</i>, <i>"being educated"</i> and <i>"philosophy 101"</i>. Perhaps you can enlighten me about your convoluted thoughts. Let me philosophize a little more and propose to you that the term <i>Useless Nerd</i> is and oxymoron.

sungulent.....

i have never ever in my life understood a few sentences as i did yours! they were typed exactly the way i would have SAID it verbally. Thats wierd!!!!

otherwise, what sungulent meant was:

"thy wagon of the americanas shall speak of cordially, and insult the german wagon of its value and hence thy shall experience the ride and thus appreciated its existence, then he who so desperately shall want one"

did that make more sense pigman?
