Hey Rad! - Tapion - 02-20-2007
Hmm...a very random and pointless observation but one that I feel like bringing up...
Why is the word superman in your sig quote capitalized?
Quote:Originally under Rad's Sig
"All in awe to what I am, pretending I'm a Superman."
If you were referring to "The Superman"(as in Clark Kent) it would be capitalized since that is the man's name, but since it says "A Superman" it is not referring to Clark Kent and not someones name, so it shouldn't be capitalized...unless I am retarded ?( .
Now I see two ways we can go about this...you can prove me wrong, which in turn will greatly humiliate me and force me to shamefully subside to the nearest dark corner while crying uncontrollably.
Or
If I am right, I think you should admit that Tapamania is the dominate force on this site, above XTREME, Mowgli, and any other possible entity that crawls around here.
In all seriousness though, I actually am curious as to whether grammatically it is correct to have that word capitalized or that is just a typo. Someone bring me to school!

Its a political statement really. By that one action he is showing the bourgoisie upperclass establishment that it can oppress the people with their harsh grammar laws like article noun agreement. Viva La Revolution.

Tapamania?

I think it's supposed to be "Holding on to what I am, pretending I'm a superman."

Waff ftw.
I wish I lived in Hawaii when they played with RBF =(
Hey Rad! - Raditzu - 02-20-2007
Its supposed "all in awe." "All in awe" however, is a misquote. I've known this for a while now.
The capitolization of "superman" is indeed a reference to the DC Comics character.
EDIT: I do have a reason for why its "Superman" but its much more fun to let the reader draw their own conclusions.

Go reply to my posts in the dev forum. :,(
Hey Rad! - Raditzu - 02-20-2007
I have nothing to reply with.
=O
I posted the idea I support. Nothing else has been proposed that, I feel, does an adequate job of replacing what was said in the OP.

Its from a song. I believe its a Goldfinger song for that matter. A good song.
Go play some Tony Hawk's Pro Skater

It actually came from mishearing a song. Superman by Goldfinger. I actually just posted the lyrics in the Yay Lyrics thread. I put the current quote in my sig quite a while ago and, after doing so, looked up the lyrics and saw that I was simply mishearing the singer. Didn't really bother me, though, since what I wrote fits Rad better than what its supposed to be.
