> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Libertarian \* > \*\*. I know a rat’s ass when I smell it, \*\* :eek: Boy, the images that conjures up . . . (Scenario one: A half-dozen or so 14-16 year old boys are sprawled haphazardly on couches and chairs around the ‘family room’, watching MTV. One is gently holding a large white rat upside down, it’s long naked tail draped gracefully over its back. He lifts it to his face, inhales deeply, and sits back with a smug, silly smile on his face. Boy seated across room: “Hey, you want to quit hogging that thing and pass it along? I ain’t even had a whiff of it yet!”) (Scenario two: Grasshopper and the blind priest are seated in a small private room in the monastery. Grasshopper is blindfolded; the blind priest holds an ugly brown rat before Grasshopper’s face. Blind Priest: Take a deep breath, Grasshopper, and tell me what you smell. Grasshopper: I detect an awful stench, Wise One, but I cannot say what causes it. Blind Priest: That is the ass of the rat, my son. Know it when you smell it, and so become wise.) ---

[school teacher voice] So, for all those who are feeling confused, I’ll just reiterate. **Libertarian** , a respected and established poster here posted a parody of a newer poster’s style and content. Being the kind of fellow who doesn’t like to explain his own jokes, he didn’t post a link, so confusion reigned among the more sensitive types who never usually stray into Great Debates. The noble **Protesilaus** told us where to find the link, after which many were able to admire Lib’s satirical style. Others just muttered that it’s impossible to tell one loony high-strung Debate from another and who cares anyway. My money’s on **Libertarian**. There will be a test on this next week.

But **Lib** - Cecil created a forum in which questions hithertoo unanswered could be answered, with a verifiable degree of accuracy. And his teachings gave rise to a HUGE group of followers who believe in that which he has to say, and the way he says it. You mean to say, **Lib** that you don’t find that impressive? I mean, even if Cecil is just plain wrong on words that rhyme with ‘gry’ and fish that swim up your dork, i think that both what he has done, and the fact that his actions and sayings have garnered so much of a following is impressive.
