I dunno . . . I *like* Dave.
For the second time in a week, some yahoo went postal on the Ed Sullivan Theater, home of Dave's show.
Today's miscreant looks like he hangs around in a cave. I wonder if he's a conservative.

DUde, props for the shout-out!
:rofl:

Oh my.
You know, this is what I always hoped the sparkling dude primitive would do, shout at us from across the abyss in "code," so that the Big Three on Skins's island wouldn't have the slightest idea about it.
Now the dude needs to contrive a secret name for "franksolich," and we're all set.

7. I don't think he has any political associations. I think he is just crazy.
Don't tell That DUde Ol' Fred Sanford that. He'll blame conservatives for not giving him a blackjack on a $5 table at a local Hera's.

Would you be "Falcon", or "Snowman"? :-)

The sparkling husband dude's called me "Frankie" before, but that's too easy for the Big Three to figure out, and besides, it's condescending to deaf people.
In exchange for our "dude," he could call me "stud," but that would be exaggerating franksolich's powress and appeal.

Ciao Stinky Amico, ho avuto qualche pasta e salsicce per la cena. Devo fare qualche parm pollo, non ho fatto che in un po '. Sono anche in vena di ravioli.

OK Frank... pardon my ignorance sir... and I would never do anything to offend you or any other person that is deaf... but why is "Frankie" a slur to deaf people?
I don't get the meaning of the slur. Of course I ain't too bright sometimes, either. If you are uncomfortable discussing it, I understand. I was just curious. :cheersmate:

It's a diminuitive of my screen name.
One doesn't call an adult by a diminuitive name; it's condescending, patronizing.
I realize customs vary in this country, but I really have a hard time with one of our most valued members here, who utilizes southern usage, while I feel compelled to call him "John."
Ain't no way I'm gonna call a grown man a little-boy name.

Rats.
I was hoping there was something political or nasty in that, but all you did was give the sparkling husband primitive your menu for supper, madam.
I heard a rumor the sparkling husband primitive used to be a professional chef, which might, or might not, be true. I dunno.

OK thanks Frank. I didn't understand.
BTW...People always call me by my diminuitive name when they don't call me Perky... which is what most people call me. Let's just say it is "Timmy". Heck they even call me "Mr. Timmy" or "Brother Timmy" or "Dammit Timmy" or something like that.
Better than "asshole" or "dumb sumbitch" I guess. :-)
Around these parts it's usually a sign people like you. When they don't like you, they use your formal name. Except for mothers. They get a pass. My mother has always called me "Timothy <middle name>".
I will endeavor not to call you that name in the future, my friend. :cheersmate:

I don't recall that you ever insulted me thusly, sir; if you had, I would've damned well remembered it.
It's a touchy issue for two reasons. My real name in real life has its formal style, a little boy's nickname, and an adult male's nickname. One can use the first or the third--I don't care which--but nobody's seen Wrath and Scorn and Contempt unless they've dared use the second name to my face.
It's touchy because it reinforces this "youngest brother" perception, as if one never grew up, and because people DO call the handicapped by their little boy or little girl names. Retarded "Johnnie," crippled "Charlie," blind "Bobby," and so on.
Of course, customs vary and personal preferences vary even more, and I can respect that. I realize that in JohnnyReb's neck of the woods, "Johnny" is perfectly acceptable usage for a gentleman, but I have personal problems with it. JohnnyReb is a personal hero of mine, and while I can accept it's okay among his own people to "Johnny" him, I just can't do it, even with ten mules dragging me. I just can't do it.
Not even with twenty mules and a camel dragging me, I can't do it.
This is why I always refer to the president who preceded Ronald Reagan as "the Incompetent One." To call him "James" or "Jim" sounds weird to other ears, but on my side of the coin, to call him "Jimmy" sounds ridiculous. So I simply call him "the Incompetent One."
Among the Italianate, diminuitives are considered terms of endearment.
But say, for example, the sparkling husband dude's name in real life (I have no idea what his name is in real life; this is just a "for example") is "Vincent." Probably his friends and family and associates call him "Vinnie."
There just isn't any way I'd call the sparkling husband dude "Vinnie;" that's a little boy's name.
I'd call him "Vincent" or "Vin" or "Vincenzo."

That's interesting, Frank, and the varying perceptions are interesting as well.
My father's nickname, from family and friends, was "Bubby." I have no idea how that came about.
My usual nickname, used by work friends and in my former job as a newspaper reporter, was an "-ie" name.
Among the Italianate, diminuitives are considered terms of endearment.
That's part of it, I think, but my last name, and therefore my father's heritage, is Irish.
Could it be that it's more of a Northeastern/geographical thing? After all, I come from a suburb of "Philly," after all. I agree with you, however, that I would never, ever, use a diminuitive on a person I respect should they not like it.
The dude, on the other hand...

Well, I had an upbringing that would make Amy Vanderbilt or Emily Post look ill-mannered in comparison; probably more stiff and formal than most.
It wasn't that the family was uberpolite; it was just simply that because I was an unknown quality, my parents decided that I should at least be courteous, well-mannered. Anything else--smart, competitive, athletic, social--well, that would be so much gravy. I was scrupulousy and rigorously trained to be a nice guy; that was their minimum goal.
The sparkling husband dude's an adult male, and if franksolich were ever to meet him face-to-face, no way in Hell would franksolich address him by a cutesy little boy nickname. His formal first name, or the adult nick-name only.

11. Thinly veiled reference to CC?
Why of course it is DUmmy progressiveinaction. Will Stinky the DUde take the bait?

Uh oh.
Actually, we don't want that.
We don't want the other primitives to know we're trying to set up a secret channel here, between the sparkling husband dude and the DUmpster.
That is NOT good.

I don't know, coach, I kind of like "Vinny". I know you don't do movies, but the Joe Pesci character in "My Cousin Vinny" is like a dead ringer for the
catbox dude, except Pesci's Vinny is entertaining and Vinny the Squatting Dude is boring as all hell.
