Hitler! Hitler! Hitler!

(Please join me, everyone, or there will be dozens upon dozens of ELP jokes here very soon.)

Hitler!

Hitler, I tell you!

and force him to listen to their show?

I said ELP, not the Zombie Stepford Body Snatched version. Or Love Beach. Same thing.

I think you get a perverse thrill watching Emerson thrust a knife into his organ.

Are you sure you wouldn't like to rephrase this?

 

[Larry Stein]

Quite sure.

A lot of wine people are know it all assholes. "Nice" is an admirable virtue, especially when backed up by Eric's formidable intellect.

That's because the rest are know-nothing nice people.

Nice = mild

Oh, I'm not so sure. Of course, I'm from the American South, where being "nice" is a part of everyday "manners," as well as a cover for many sins. I still think it's an under-appreciated virtue. "Nice" may imply mild, but it may also imply generosity of spirit, a willingness to engage another if only for a moment, to not ignore. I'm guessing that there was an open conversation here that left Otto with a good impression along these lines. Why should "nice" detract from any other virtues?

I agree and unless I qualify it (such as saying "nice enough I guess") I always intend it as a compliment. Of course I remember once using it as an an adjective to refer to the Liquidator and nearly getting my head chopped off as a result.
