    Have you never read the fairytale Stiry about the goats trying to cross the bridge and the trolls under the bridge? No? Maybe its not actually a story, having a lot of these scenarios today!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,808 ✭✭✭✭chin_grin


    Ah will someone help the guy out!? :D

    An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial and irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the intention of provoking other users into an emotional response or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.

    Dont know what you're on about - more about these little little guys living under bridges :eek:

    The story introduces three male goats named Gruff of varying size and age, sometimes identified in the story as youngster, father and grandfather, but more often they are described as brothers. There is no grass left for them nearest where they live, so they must cross a river to go a "sæter"(a summer farm in the hills)"to make themselves fat", but the only way across is by a bridge and it is guarded by a fearsome troll who eats any who pass that way. The youngest goat, knowing nothing of this, crosses the bridge and is threatened by the troll but is spared when he tells the troll that his brothers are larger and more gratifying as a feast. The middle goat sees that the youngest one has crossed and reaches the conclusion that the bridge must be safe after all, but when he crosses and the troll challenges him, he too tells him of his eldest brother. When the eldest and largest of them attempts to cross, the troll comes out to seize him but is gored by his horns and knocked into the river. From that time on the bridge is safe, and all three goats are able to go to the rich fields around the summer farm in the hills.



    There ya go!!!!

    If a troll were a music video it'd be Bittersweet Symphony by the Verve. The little cute smelly troll walks straight down that road never once veering off a straight line. Knocking over boards users and banging into the mods shoulders with gleeful delight. If Ashcroft was ever interviewed on TV3, he would probably say that whole video was a metaphor for internet message board trolls. He's made trolling cool again.

    Do trolls also have their eyes set too far apart in their head? It would make them easier to spot.

    Banned for that.
    Thread locked: OP - look it up in a dictionary,wiktionary,search engine, ask yore ma... and so on. Use Newbiews & FAQ in future or I'll just assume you want to be banned from AH.
