This has to do with people talking about things they know nothing about...
I used to answer technical questions about high end stereo speakers wires and power cords, we're talking ten and twenty thousand dollar cables.
I had some guy trying to tell me that expensive cable was the stupidest thing he had ever heard of, so I told him a story I thought would help shut him up, it was epically funny, but was he pissed off.
I told him that I had an uncle named Richard that had perhaps the finest sounding stereo system in the world, he'd spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on it. So my brain dead protagonist jumps in, how do you know it was the best in the world? He starts making arguments, I'm referring to my uncle as my uncle Richard.
So finally after the hook was set I asked him if he even knew my uncle Richard, and said "if you don't know my uncle you don't know Dick, so shut the hell up". There were guys saying I owed them keyboards.

Who would be moronic enough -- YOU -- to spend $10-20 THOUSAND on high end stereo speakers wires and power cords? Most every person on the planet doesn't have the hearing capability to know the difference between them and excellent speakers for way less than $1000.

I want to know where the frack this argument is going. Woodguru is making himself out as a knowledgeable person in regards to stereo speakers. Maybe he is. According to his story he was trying to correct someone who does not know what he is talking about. He calls him " my brain dead protagonist ". Again perhaps Woodguru is exactly right on with this assessment.
However, his argument hinges on " So my brain dead protagonist jumps in, how do you know it was the best in the world? He starts making arguments, I'm referring to my uncle as my uncle Richard.
So finally after the hook was set I asked him if he even knew my uncle Richard, and said "if you don't know my uncle you don't know Dick, so shut the hell up". "
Whether or not Woodguru's protagonist knows Woodguru's uncle Richard, is totally beside the point of whether that protagonist knows anything about " high end stereo speakers wires and power cords, ".

LOL! I was wondering about the survival sk**ls part of this topic. - thanks.
He's saying something about an uncle who is a dick who spends exorbitant amounts of money on a stereo system and because of that woodguru owes some guys keyboards...

How many people who don't know Jack about squat that talk about things they know nothing about, are you that dense that you couldn't put that together?

The reality is that I like to tell stories and have total morons call me a liar because they are too stupid to realize what r****ds it makes them look like.
Why make up stories when I have such good real life ones to tell?
