Old Apr 22nd, 2003, 01:17 PM        VINCE AND YOGI BERRA! CONTRAST AND COMPARE!
Recently Vince thanked me fore collecting his most outrageous abuses of the English language, saying:

"I loved them because they were like the quotes that Yogi Bera used to say. Completely stupid sounding, but had deeper meaning."


I rfecently visited a compellation of Bera quotes, and while they were all funny (in content, not just in their demonstration of amazingly bad sentecne construcrion) I was at a loss to find their deeper meaning.

I'm hoping Vince will act as an interpreter here. What's the 'deeper meaning' of any of these Berra quotes:

"You can observe a lot just by watching."

"If you can't imitate him, don't copy him."

"You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I'm not hungry enough to eat six."



Now, tell me what the 'deeper' meaning or failing that what's funny (beyond how bad your writing is) about these Vince quotes

"I unloaded with someone that I have never felt in my life. "

"I have medical alert bracelets, well i used to about my blood pressure when I used to have it"

"It would take far too much time that I want to spend and all would you do is argue it and insult me because that is the only thing you can do."

You should've made the title of this thread "VINCE AND YOGI BERRA! CONTRAST AND COMPARE-A!"

I, for one, swear by Yogi Bera. "Hey-hey-hey, pick-a-nick baskets." Wisdom to set your watch to.

To recap:

Yogi: Funny.

Vince: Dumb. Please feel free to demonstrate.

Max, Vince can't be arsed for that right now.

He's too busy trying to find proof that carbon dating says that Vikings came from the year 2130 (look at the "Atheism" thread)

I know. Maybe he'll find his submarine letter under the proof along with the name for his condition of hives.

Max, can't you see that what poor Vince really needs is a good hug?
*reaches out for Vince, gives him a chest-crushing hug, and adds "Vince, its not your fault!"*
