A solemn bronze statue of the Saint by the Russian sculptor Gregory Pototsky, donated by the Russian government in 2000, was given a prominent place on the square in front of the medieval church of St. Nicholas. In 2005, mayor Suleyman Topcu had the statue replaced by a red-suited plastic Santa Claus statue, because he wanted the central statue to be more recognizable to visitors from all over the world.
I can't tell if I should laugh at this or facepalm at it.
Let's replace the religious statue we were given with a plastic statue of a character who brings toys to spoiled children!
thought: the font they used on the cover of 'Songs for the Deaf' has since become way overused (probably because its called 'Abaddon' and is therefore near the top at any typeface website)

Nornagest was not humourless, I don't know why people thought that.
He had very particular ideas about what was acceptable humor and what was not. So no, he was not humorless in the strictest sense, but he was annoying as hell.

I'm trying out Opera for a while, because I was incredibly bored this morning and now I'm too lazy to switch all these tabs back to Chrome.
It's a good browser but it's got a bunch of little things that trip me up. If I highlight some text, right-click, and hit "Search", it opens the Google search in the same tab, where Firefox and Chrome would both open a new tab. Takes some getting-used to...

ProTip: Turn off all the taskbars. There is nothing at all you need them for.
I remember Nornagest saying that he used the name Nornagest on other places and he didn't want an employer finding unsavory things attached to it back when Saturn wrote slash fiction about TvTropers. He was also a Less Wrongite, I think. I tend to group him and Desertopa together in my mind and Desertopa was definitely a Less Wronger.
That said, there's still a chance it might not be him, but it does sound like him.

He was on TVT for a long time, and the user demographics changed a lot in that time, up until he eventually left.
He could be a grouch, but honestly, some of the time I really didn't blame him. Regardless, he usually had insightful things to say and when he was angry he didn't kick up a massive shitstorm about it, so I wouldn't call him annoying.
that said I'm sure there's a tiny percentage that do, but chances are this isn't the case
No dude, trust me. If you are a 13 or 14 year old with a large vocabulary you will spend hours typing the most inconsequential things in an effort to show off how smart you are, and that's probably what happened here. There are also lots of little mis-uses of words ('foiled' instead of 'soiled').
Of course, you will also think you're better than everyone else because of this. Unfortunately some people never get out of that stage.

I would, but I've never had much tolerance for philosophy bugs, so perhaps that's not surprising.

No, because that statement looks like it was written by a fat, indignant, bitter 38 year old reddi....

Let me know if it randomly freezes your entire system up every 10 minutes or so too

Fairly certain he was German. Lemme look it up.
edit: Nope he was in fact Greek.
I dunno what kind of Greek though. There's a pretty wide range of skin tones there.

uhm excuse me
Santa Claus is a US Marine, therefore he's not black nor white. He's green
holy shit Lil B should really not do acid
also I think "pockets look like BRAINS tho" should win some kind of award for nonsensical lyricism.
i get so angry sometimes i just punch plankton --Klinotaxis
Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
and take their weapons leaving them dead
lie.
Ponder no further.
Also I just washed my face and it immediately started bleeding, what the fuck.
It probably is, though.

Do they have the same posting style? The name comes from Norse mythology so it wouldn't surprise me if more than one person had it.
