When I started reading this thread, I actually thought G.Nome sounded like another fucked up Yank. Oh, and its Aussies that name their sheep, not Kiwis. To us they’re farm animals, not possible dates. ---

Green Bean: But I can assure you, Revtim, that this was no ordinary stretched open anus Does that bring Creed instantly into anyone else’s head? People criticise me for not backing up my arguments with “cites”. That’s totally true - I tend to speculate. So, here is a somewhat non-sequitur cite - just to say I’ve done it. And to stop that Creed thing happening. It comes from a library book I’m reading called the Encyclopaedia of Esoteric Man and it’s for Green Bean. “A close connection appears to exist between a relaxed anus and trance states. There is also said to be a secret correspondence between the rectal annulus and certain higher centres of the body. The nerves of the rectum and genital zone are closely connected. In fact the nerves of this region have wide ramifications, and contractions of the anal spincter produce contractions in a number of remoter parts of the body, causing an accceleration of the heart and resulting in deeper respiration. Deep breathing can be started in a person in anaesthesia by inserting a finger into the anus.” I think Led Zeppelin are more relevant to me anyway. They had that song about threads that had no end. (Or purpose, in my case). ---

(NO sarcasm intended at all, btw; your reply, IMO, was both simple and elegant.) _Ahem!_ I can’t remember when I’ve laughed harder at a thread. At first I took G.Nome’s posts as clever put-ons, but even if the poor putz is serious, who cares? The truly idiotic have their functions, too. We couldn’t have grown a better example of rampant Ignorance in a petrie dish! The lunatic misassociations, the stellar illogic! the absolute lack of fact or documentation combined so whimsicallly with petulance! the giddy blend of prejudice, junk science and paranoia! Please, I beg of you, do _not_ discourage her from posting here. Putzes of this caliber don’t come along that often. Trolls abound, but true raving lunatics? We have a rare specimen here. I suggest we put G.Nome in a Mason jar (okay, punch a _few_ holes in the lid) and observe her, much as we would a peculiarly replusive but interesting insect. (No offense to insects.)

It’s the ahem thing isn’t it? It has to be. My posts are not much different to anything else here. The examples I could give to justify saying this are just too vast. It’s definitely the ahem. I was prepared to become a matyr - I knew it would happen. But I will go to my grave still feeling a rush of endorphins every time I think of my ahem post. How it stands as a slap in the face for the power junkie psychos who need a “mechanism” like that. Memetics may be junk science to you but it has given me an adequate explanation of why it ahemming exists. That you hate what I have done so much is going to give me endless, untold pleasure. For a country that believes so much in individualism you display a worrying (almost fascistic) need for association, documentation and “cites”. All I did was follow the philosophy of Steve Jobs (presumably your nemesis) and “thought diffently”. Now I’m going to go (before I get towed naked behind a car). If I want to know what Americans are made of in future I’ll watch Saving Private Ryan. ---

In case you dont know, all the FX guts shown in that film where fake. they didnt really get split open during filming. And most of the bloody scenes (save for the battle at the end) where shot in Ireland, using the Irish Reserves (the FCA) so it it were real, you’d be seeing Irish innards. I’ve come to a conclusion. I have more chance of poking melted butter up a hedgehog’s ass with a hot needle than I do of having an intelligent discussion with yourself. Good day to you sir.

no sarcasm read tv… the accual chance to have an intelligent discussion depends on the intelligence of the would be discussers, being intelligent and denying that the other discusser is, is not intelligent(paradox or some word like that here…). so no matter what, the person you are talking to is always intelligent until that person stoppes understanding you. at that point you have to ask yourself if it is you that lacks intelligence. \*feel free to replace “intelligence” with a more appropriate word. bj0rn - int. ---

Behaviour is not an indicator of intellegence. \*\* The voice of someone who’s been told that they behave like an idiot. Kinda like a guy with a small pecker saying that women love small packages. (If they contain _jewelry_, not genitals.) I guess that you wouldn’t count spelling correctly a behavior. cheap shot - 'sorta apologize… I have seen that behavior can be indicative the development of a person. Behavior should be an extension of that comprehension and dialogue of which you speak. Intelligence is useless if it is used incorrectly, or if it’s not used at all (overstating the obvious – sometimes the obvious is not so obvious). If you act like a fucking idiot, your intelligence is probably not going to have an audience respectful of it – sort of a guilt by association. You should be intelligent enough to act in a way that reflects your intelligence. It is frustrating and pathetic to deal with people who have high IQs (used only as a point of reference) but act like some trashy hillbilly hick fuck, for example. “He’s intelligent – he just acts foolishly.” Intelligent with an excuse. If someone is intelligent, why shouldn’t they act in a way that’s indicative, respectful, and appreciative of it. Intelligence is probably wasted on such a person, anyway. Some ‘intelligent’ people behave idiotically…some ‘sane’ people ass fuck dogs…I guess there’s no rationalizing it… I know – here come the flames…:rolleyes: I’ll start you off with some really original ones… “Myndephuquer! What kind of name is Myndephuquer?! How can you (insert random pile of shit here) with a name like Myndephuquer?” _Ouch!! Ooooh, puh-leez stop!! Oh, there is so much brutal wisdom that you have to share. Thank you for taking time away from spanking your little pee-pee to guide me!_ Or, how about this one… “Hey, Fucker! Shit piss pus pussy!!! Bluh bluh bluh!!” _Oh, boo hoo hoo! You’re right! Some random dick-hole that knows nothing about me has pegged me to a tee!!_ If you do intend to flame me, please don’t waste my time, or the time of others reading this thread. Just write out what you’re going to say on a piece of paper, roll it up, and shove it so far up your ass that your eyes pop out of their sockets, then catch your eyes in your mouth and suck on them like they’re my balls. [Hey! Now you can say, “Myndephuquer, look at _your_ behavior!” That’ll get me good, you smarty, you! :)] On the other hand, I may be happy to discuss this on a new or relevant thread in a civilized, intelligent manner, if you’ve got the facilities for either. On this thread, we need to get back to the n3r3a3 and D.B. Cooper. **Thus spake Myndephuquer.** ---

D.B. Cooper is my grandfather. I hid the money at Location X in Sector E in a razorblade McCracken. The crow flies at sundown to tell you all the message. The Apocalypse comes too soon. The word of the day is “phlegmatic”. Use it in a sentence, preferably when talking with a 64 year old rabbi.

Don’t flatter yourself. 🙂 I don’t know you – you don’t know me. That was not an attack on you – at least it was not intended to be one. As far as my first sentence goes, I’m sure that every ‘intelligent’ person has been chastised for his or her behavior once or twice in life, so that was just a generalization, and the second sentence was just a comparison. I disagreed with you, and just because we disagree is no reason to start any sort of name calling. It goes against the premise of this board. I did not call you by name, or call you any names. I did take a cheap shot at the spelling errors, but the irony hit me as a bit humorous. I did apologize then (weakly), and I apologize now. I think that it’s pretty lame to try to discredit your (or anyone’s) point based on a spelling error. It happens to everyone. I would like to hear your thoughts on behavior and intelligence, but I guess this thread is not the place. (I was actually acknowledging your point in my last sentence of the third ‘paragraph’. click) If you think that was an attack on you, I do apologize for that, too. BTW, the last paragraph wasn’t directed at you, or anyone in particular, except maybe Andros :). (Andros: “mmmmmmmm! yummy eyeballs!!” :)) I hope that G. Nome or i1055 will enlighten us with their views on behavior. I think we’re all puppets of the government, and they control us through the fillings in our teeth, but Pop Rocks distort the transmissions. BTW, can anyone get me some Pop Rocks? Nobody seems to carry them anymore. All the shops that did carry them burned to the ground and all of the employees committed suicide, so I have no one around here to ask about getting more.
