Or it could be Latin for third. You people think you are so smart yet you cannot recognize one Latin word.

I'm pretty smart. I know that tertiary refers to thirdness. Latin is a dead language; it's how the priests and elites of old were able to exert domination over the illiterate, even thoug it could just as well have been Greek or anything else...if you're illiterate, any written language is intimidating. Is that why you like Latin? Are you an intimidator? An apprentice? Latin is only used these days to name new plants and animals; it's a long tradition. Suckee cidi vidi.

I like Latin because it confounds small minds quickly. It is a very good timesaver when it comes to evaluating "pretty smat" people. See I'm not so smart so I must have help from the dead.

So Banni you have now decided to CENSOR these forums by making folks be a memba to POST A THREAD. Don't ya just hate people who try to skirt around FREE SPEECH.

When did BRN, or any other forum allow you to post without logging in as a member? You can deny your bullshit all you like, but you seemed to have a knack for censoring people. Why don't you log in as a guest using your nascarfan88 name? You can do that, which you already know.

weird....what i originally wrote isn't here.....it was "That's easy; nascarfan88 is full of shit. He knows it and cant' stand it."

See what I mean about small minds.

or could it be that after swallowing so much of your own bs, you see yourself as Tertius of Iconium first century Christian martyr, saint and bishop

nah - tertius seeing himself as some sort of martyr


couldn't be, he would really have to be some sort of self centered hack, who wonders why others peoples farts stink but does his farting in the closet to make his clothes fragrant

Once I learn Sanskrit, I will rejoice in my superiority over all of you inconsequential peasants as you behold my Sanskrit super powers.

"third" what? I'd rather have a fifth.

I'll go with the underworld of Pluto or the German sandbank in Meldorf Bay.

"The term is used in contract law to refer to an interested third party not privy to a contract."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tertius_(law)

He's apparently interested, and there appears to be a lot he's not privy to. And it's a latin usage, as he noted above. It ought to be fun for the group to explain their names. I already did mine.

I have made changes to the name when a forum shuts down but have continued with a KV theme, as currently represented by my avatar

Slaughterhouse 5
Kilgore Trout
Billy Pilgrim


I missed where you explained, but assume its a takeoff on bill

[Bungalow Bill]

I have always thought it was a reference to tertiary syphilis. Not that he actually has
it, but that he shows some of the same mental incapacities as people might with that
condition.
