How about this..

Gae Bolga...it's there, Google it.

here you go..

It is on the third day that Ferdiad starts to gain the upper hand. At this point, Cúchulainn calls to his charioteer, Laeg, for the Gáe Bolga, which he floats down the river to him. Cúchulainn throws a light spear at Ferdiad's chest, causing him to raise his shield, and then picks up the Gáe Bolga between his toes and thrusts it through his anus upon which the barbs spread throughout his body, killing him. The Gáe Bolga is then removed from Ferdiad's body by Laeg, and Cúchulainn mourns Ferdiad's death, praising his strength and bravery:
"Ah, Ferdiad, betrayed to death.""Our last meeting, oh, how sad!""Thou to die I to remain.""Ever sad our long farewell!"[2][3]
Scholars believe that the fight between Cuchulainn and Ferdiad is a late addition to the Táin, originating not earlier than the eleventh century and drawing on earlier episodes in the story.[citation needed] Ferdiad means "man/warrior of the pair" (Diad related to dïas, "two persons").[citation needed] But can also be read as "Fear" (man) "dia" (god), as opposed to Cúchulainn's position as a literal god-man (being a demigod, his father the chief god Lugh).

Maybe I need to still connect the dots....
Ferdiad was the son of cuchulainn. Cuch was a god. ferd, wasa son of a god... the gae bologna was the spear who killed a son of a god.

Do you get it now?

Some douche want to be associated with God killing, but instead picks a name who spelling looks like a phonetic version of gay bologna

how about this..

Assume I did research his name maybe back when he first got it, because I do not like not knowing.

Secondly, the name doesn't mean 'god killer'.  There are several translations (the most usual is 'belly spear'), but none of them come close to what you seem to think. (the closest thing I can think of to 'god killer' is dia dúnmharfóir).

Third and lastly, you are a liar without shame.  See arewethereyet's post.

...unless you are irish and lived in the 12th century..

No one believes this stuff who are you trying to fool?

No one teaches this stuff again unless you live there or have some family tradition or tie. this is not MAINSTREAM lore by any stretch hence it is a dead. the use of spears as a weapon of combat is dead. let alone fashioning them from whale bones and hairs from a goddess. Nothing about this represents modern day myths or story telling. why? because this again is a 12th century tome which has seen it's day and in only kept alive in discussions like this. so yeah like it or not it is dead.

wow I always thought gae stuff originated in france..
Hehe

which is why I like to mix it up with some puns and jokes.. but as you say people will see what they want. me being honest=right wing bigot. me being genuine= right wing liar/bigot. me being funny, right wing racist bigot.  

It is what it is here, and to a degree I understand. because if they do not allow me to ever move past these lables they would have to contend with the other content I bring to the table.

Volumes of nasty remarks and BS lead people to be skeptical of Drich's intentions.  

Honest, genuine, and Drich don't even belong in the same sentence.

can you provide specific examples of me being dishonest?

to be honest that is the only reason I sek to you or anyone else who has called my wife a crack whore. because I give you a new chance every single time you post.

But we are generous.  We’ve given him chances anyway by doing nothing to stop him from showing evidence of repentance.   The only thing we disallow is drich trying to redefine repentance to be something that buys time for drich to do the more of that for which drich is allegedly  repentant.

examples of this generosity? please provide a link and or post number.

And it adds more to his disrepute when he acts obliviously as if everyone owed him favors to call.

this problem only seems to be isolated to one very small and dark corner of my life. even in other places like this where this specific group is not.. I do not have the trouble that I have here.

which would indicate it is a specific problem i have with a specific set of people and or how or what they think of me.
Quack,  quack, quack...

No I totally get it and I'm not saying you guys are wrong. Just thinking out loud here. I personally have very little patience to debate with any theists anymore. It's the same old tired arguments spun by the same old rhetoric.

So join the club. I only come here to see some new discussion it happens once in a while. Current trend: guns and ownership. Its probably because the majority of the denizens are yanks. Its far away.
