Did you have to use the phrase "out there"?

Posted by mr_porteiro_head (Member # 4644) on :

Is there a special significance of the phrase "out there"?

Posted by Blayne Bradley (Member # 8565) on :

My name is not Crisp, and I've been down this road before, running away doesn't return ones addiction.

To say that a person is "out there"... maybe it's a regionalism, I don't know. Here, it has the connotation of being sort of... way out there. Unusual.

Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :

It means both things here. I guess it depends on the context.

This is where reading the links comes in handy.

Pretty awesome last name, though, as far as last names go and all.

-nickname is Krisp-

Brandon Crisp's body has been found. No foul play is suspected.

Posted by JonHecht (Member # 9712) on :

Really? They had to include the pun "foal play". That's dignified.

Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :

I think that it's somewhat more likely that someone typed the wrong word than that the reporter was trying to make a pun.

Posted by dantesparadigm (Member # 8756) on :

Is that even a pun? Wikipedia says it's a baby horse.

Posted by JonHecht (Member # 9712) on :

It is, just a really really bad one, and a bit of a stretch.

Edit: I interpreted it as saying he was a young child, and because he was lost in the wild.

Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :

Jon, that's ridiculous. Why would you think that it was a pun?

Posted by JonHecht (Member # 9712) on :

Because I think that too many things are deliberate and then extrapolate false information based on that false assumption far too often.

Posted by Blayne Bradley (Member # 8565) on :

Does this still involve me?

Posted by dantesparadigm (Member # 8756) on :

Has that ever stopped you?

The thread title is confusing.
