Anyway, I am going to have to track this issue down and buy it when my dealer comes into town. The double entendre alone is enough to make it valuable to my collection.

“in regular life…” Well, when you’re a teenager, finding the sexual innuendo in EVERYTHING is part of regular life, and that “innocent phrase” hasn’t been innocent in this country in about 20 years.

It really wasn’t a fail until it appeared on Failblog. THEN it became a fail, because in regular life, people aren’t looking for the sexual meaning of a truly innocent phrase.

On Failblog, well. . . .

You, sir, are an idiot.
Obviously those guys are in the background, and Archie is walking away from them. He might be knee-deep in the water because he is nearing the shore, while those guys are still in the deep part of the water.

Actually, it’s Betty and Me. The way to tell the difference is to take the other person out of the sentence, for example: Betty and I. Take out the “Betty and” and it just becomes “I”
Heh heh, I am enjoying myself.

There is an issue of Hack/Slash from about six months ago that made fun of this cover. It went “Have and trouble rescuing me?” “Sure did, I had to beat off a Priest!”

It may have been to the writers, who probably knew EXACTLY how they were wording this, but c’mon, Archie comics tend to be aimed at pre-teen and early teen girls. I think I got bored of them by the time I was 15. I know most kids are pretty precocious nowadays, but I doubt that was supposed to be the _intended_ meaning for the target audience. Hence, the fail.

I used to own that exact comic book years ago, but threw it out about 20 years ago. It was probably valuable.

The author clearly had a great deal of attention to detail when it came to Betty.

I didn’t knoe Archie was half gay

Wow, let’s review the anatomy of your sentence, RFed. Starting with the base.

They kicked Archie’s ass. -> Base subject, verb and direct object.

You change the subject to the situation you just read, with the pronoun removed the sentence becomes:

That scenario kicked Archie’s ass.

Now you convert the above into a question by changing the verb to “would have” and moving the “kicked” to secondary.

Would Archie have gotten his ass kicked in that scenario?

The above and
Wouldn’t Archie have gotten his ass kicked in that scenario?
are equivalent sentences (they both mean the same thing). However, you use the second because you intend to imply the opposite meaning. You imply the meaning by once again changing it from a question to a statement:

Archie wouldn’t have gotten his ass kicked in that scenario.

Then, you change the grammar incorrectly with a question mark, However, this indicates that your statement is sarcastic, implying your actual meaning.

Archie wouldn’t have gotten his ass kicked in that scenario?

You ask a statement, which implies your meaning. The word “Like” is superfluous and used to set the tone of condescension. As such, you can change it with other such words or phrases.

Like Archie wouldn’t have gotten his ass kicked in that scenario?
is therefore equivalent with:
Like, Archie wouldn’t have gotten his ass kicked in that scenario?
As if Archie wouldn’t have gotten his ass kicked in that scenario?
Archie wouldn’t have gotten his ass kicked in that scenario?
Archie would have gotten his ass kicked in that scenario.

The comma is only there to exemplify how unnecessary the word “Like” is. Pronunciation is what would make it have a “Valley Girl” feel. Without the comma “Like” is slightly ambiguous, and that is why BF4518 was teasing you.

He teased you about being ambiguous, I’m giving it to you for believing the word “Like” is a question verb.

caghs — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 06:14:57 +0000

I’m cracking up over here. I love it when people get all high and mighty about grammar when their grammar is incorrect. ‘Like’ should not be used at the start of a sentence without a qualifier. Pwn stands

It’s like you need to go back to school, or quit being a jerk. Then again, that goes for most of the posts here *exits stage right*

That statement is so fraught with Freudian this and thats (“avatar so large” “small box”) that I am at a loss as what to comment on. I shall maintain a dignified silence.

Actually, you can go right ahead and bend over, pwn, because royallyfuked gets to kiss your ass.
You did not ask a question, you merely made a sarcastic statement. The word “like” can be used to show one thing is similar to another, to express affection or appreciation for something, or as a colloquial term for “said,” or any synonym thereof, but “like” most certainly cannot be used to ask a question.
(Insert generic final insult which serves no purpose but to furthur aggrivate the subject of the rant.)
