In other news: Renzatic still owes me $9.99!
Yeah, like I'm gonna pay you a single dime for that truckfuckload of disappointment. But hell, I should've know what would happen when I walked in. There was some snark, then some silence, then the tears started. Pretty predictable fare.
The kiwis remained uneaten, and not a single gopher got did. Even as a freebie, I feel like I paid too much.

Trying to find out whether Esther is an actual name I found out that not only it is, she is an islam princess or something and found this painting of her which I thought was pretty accurate so I made a lame image macro out of it.

My name is Matthew. Which is an anglicization of the Greek Matthaios, which is a translation of the Hebrew Matitya. It means Gift From God.
My mom and dad must've done a fuckton of LSD back in the day to name me something so fucked up and foreign. I bet they were artfags, too.

Lol, stop the presses: Polish guy fails on Jewish history, culture. Could you be more cliche?
Bah, I rescind it. By "fails" I meant trolls, but it's pretty obvious Koki is just trolling generally and not about the race (as opposed to a white guy cracking something like "D'Shwan ... isn't that like Chinese? Who actually names their kid that?" just to troll on a clearly black name, which response, lol-worthy as it is, could deserve a troll-response), but this isn't a case like that, so I'll scratch it... I never said Koki's post wasn't lol-worthy either. It is. It's just whether it deserved any kind of troll-response.

I guess it's cliche but I find the fact that you apparently consider jewish history and culture common knowledge very amusing

Dude guy. I was educated in the deep south. If anyone should be failing history, it's me. Hell, I didn't even know what a Jew was til last year.
His ignorance is no excuse.

Oh, so you fail reading comprehension again. Or is it Internet Knowledge?
The text doesn't address Esther, but Dear Esther. As in, Esther herself, who on the picture is rather not amused, complains about indie artfag games.
Get it now, southerner? Or should I say it in a double negative, I hear that's what southerners do

Oh. I didn't read the top part.
Carry on.

(1) It's a book of the Bible (Edit: in English. In Polish it may well be a completely different name). It used to be common knowledge in the West, but I grant that it isn't now. If you had called Moses some Buddhist guy, that's probably trolling. But Esther... take anyone off the street, ok, who the hell is that... That's fine.
(2) But I was referring to the fact that you specifically researched it and clearly lifted the picture from the wiki page and *still* fucked it up. That makes it look like you're either intentionally muffing it up to troll or you just read a few lines and went with it.
(3) But really I don't care... When people start posting macros though it's common practice to match it with an equally "my hair is a bird..." style of argument. I was first going to match Renz post with "And my first name is Chris. What were my parents thinking?!" But went with the Polish angle to parrot an old friend of mine that, quite irrationally I always thought, was hyper-paranoid that every Polish person was rabidly anti-semetic and would point to every little thing as proof, and I was always the one trying to get him to be reasonable and coming to their defense. Since I don't actually believe what he does and I find it perfectly reasonable a lot of people wouldn't know who Esther is -- why should they? -- it's just a cheap swipe for no good reason that sounded funny the way my friend used to say it, but I probably wouldn't have made it if I'd thought more about it. I'd probably delete it now, but then the following posts wouldn't make sense. But it's not what I actually think. Every Polish person I've actually met IRL I end up liking and want to hug. Like a pony.
