having read the wiki and understanding the sides of the Viking Debate put me down as... - Mel Profit Oct 13, 08:40 19
- ralph is not complicated, he's simple and direct. when awake he's ralph, when asleep he's a viking - dogbert Oct 13, 09:45
- I think for me, it's just that I kind of dislike the line if it's nothing but literal. If it's literal, it's not funny or clever or even silly-stupid- - mara Oct 13, 09:27
- IMO none of the options - Ralph dreams of being something powerful to compensate for not being powerful in reality. - Cuzzin Todd Oct 13, 08:54 7
  - I'll try to add this later, but I have got to get to other things right now. -- nm - mara Oct 13, 09:30 1
    - damnit mara. - Remlik Oct 13, 09:40
  - a literal viking is a great example of power so you could be agreeing with Option 3. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 13, 09:10 3
    - But I don't feel it's literally a viking, a viking is just a metaphor for power. - Cuzzin Todd Oct 13, 09:39
    - the important part to remember in all of this is that - JaxS3an Oct 13, 09:15 1
      - Yeah...I'm not sure how they can justified such a nuanced position. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 13, 09:17
  - I think i agree with option 4 -- nm - Truman Oct 13, 09:08
- It certainly separates the left-brain thinkers from the right-brain thinkers. -- nm - Roger More Oct 13, 08:48 8
  - some of us have a dual core processor -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 13, 08:50
  - No, just the right from the wrong. :-) -- nm - Krusty Oct 13, 08:49 6
    - "This quote by an 8 year old dimwit who "fail English? Unpossible!" *must* have a precise, exact meaning!" - Roger More Oct 13, 08:51 5
      - YEAH!!! -- nm - David Oct 13, 08:56
      - Yup, very easy. -- nm - Krusty Oct 13, 08:55
      - Unpossible makes sense. Being a viking made no sense. Inventing a meaning isnt the same thing as a malapropism. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 13, 08:55 2
        
        I don't think either way really makes sense. That's why we'll never have agreement about this. -- nm - Roger More Oct 13, 09:05
        
        My doctor told mommy he has insurance for that. -- nm - Ralph Oct 13, 09:02

- He's taking over the world some day. I for one welcome our Drk Cutlass Overlord - Epiphany Oct 13, 08:40 2

    - It also appears he takes after his mom. - Anybody But The Yankees Oct 13, 09:40

        Pinch is on a new kick where he just blurts out "honk honk honk" for about 10 minutes straight -- nm - CQ Oct 13, 08:41
      - and "so" vs "sew" ... sea vs see ....why is Engrish so difficult? -- nm - i'm not Undead yet ! Oct 13, 08:37 1
        
        and then penis and vagina -- nm - CQ Oct 13, 08:39
