chucK Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 It has come to my attention that some people view this little guy differently than I. I always thought meant you were good-naturedly verbally sparring with some mean sounding language. But the person I was talking to thought was more of a threat, like, "I'll kick your ass if I ever see you in person ". Anyway...what's the implication? Quote

Alpinfox Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 ...goterWTF .... Gotterdammerung is German for "Twilight of the Gods". It is the title of Act III of Wagner's epic Ring Cycle opera. p.s. As for what the guy means, I think it is entirely dependent upon context, but obviously it has something to do with disagreement/fighting, etc. Quote

billcoe Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 I clicked all 3 choices. Like many on this site: the precise inference is wholly dependant on if I am Male PMS'ing. Quote

marylou Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 ...goterWTF .... Gotterdammerung is German for "Twilight of the Gods". It is the title of Act III of Wagner's epic Ring Cycle opera. Actually, for what it's worth, it's the fourth and final opera in the four-part Ring cycle. We gotta deal with old Siegfried and all of that before Valhalla gets to burn down in Part Four. Quote
arlen Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 Wagner, who didn't try to hide his jingoism, insisted that Gotterdammerung was about hubris as a fatal fault of humanity and not about Germany's dilemmas of that time. It isn't called a ring for nothing! That hasn't stopped the simple minded from tacking the name on their own crusades ever since then. Quote
