How to read a Vernier

I think they're right. If a woman asked me this, I'd think about it for a minute, and then I'd want to know if she meant what these three jobs were really like (I'm assuming she means taking on one of these roles in the past, since while there are still cowboys and pirates, samurai haven't really existed since the Meiji Restoration), or how they're imagined in pop-culture. If it's the actual, real job, I'm gonna say cowboy, because the other two are different kinds of assholes who kill people, whereas cowboy is, mostly, just fucking hard work. If it's the pop-culture versions, I'm gonna say pirate, because they generally enjoy themselves more than the other two, particularly since samurai spend all their time doing as they're told, fighting nobly etc. and being a cowboy is still a lot of fucking hard work.

And from this, the lady would easily be able to tell that my true personality is that of a pedantic nerd.

Agreed, though I'd probably prefer fantasy cowboy to fantasy pirate, they also get to have a good time, but rarely get run through with a sword and almost never lost at sea.

That and cowboys and samurai have been to Boston in the fall unlike pirates.

[authormmaynard]

Cowboys and samurai are the same character. Pirate is something else entirely.

Charles the Third, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of His other Realms and Territories, King, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith.

I predict that one by one, his titles will be stripped away because of this.

This is a really fantastic return to form for this genre of post. In recent years there's been less and less effort put into this vital aspect of internet culture, it's nice to see a return to the truly artisanal work of the late 00s.

Now THIS is what the internet exists for. I was LOCKED IN the whole time.
