The gun is good! The penis is evil! The penis shoots sperm!

(Just thought no Lekatt-related thread would be complete without at least one passionate, but totally meaningless non-sequitur. I was also imagining watching _Zardoz_ while stoned, with Lekatt providing commentary. That would blow your mind, Man.)

This is what is known as an ‘understatement’. Watching Zardoz while stoned invites permanent brain damage. My mind shrinks from contemplating adding lekatt into the mix.

Yeah, sorry, I guess I could have done that-in my excuse, it’s too early and my body’s still fucked up over the time change. :smack:

ETA: holy shit, that looks too disturbing for MST3K to improve upon!

(I guess you could watch _Manos_ with **lekatt**?)

Is it just me or does the spinning diamond remind anybody else of Leviathan from Hellraiser?

Cool. You know, even though Hellbound and Hellraiser are two of my favorite movies, I never knew what that was called. Leviathan, huh? Learn something new every day!!!  
Oh - and to chime in on lekatt? I don’t understand a thing he says. I find it easier that way.

I have to admit that I always get a little thrill when I see “Lekatt” on a thread. I know there’s a fun time just around the corner.

Followed closely by a strong desire to hit myself in the head repeatedly with a hammer, of course, but nothing good comes without a cost.

I have the exact opposite reaction. ‘Oh crap, another thread right down the tubes.’

Apparently, that so-called open mind of his can’t even use its imagination.

Speaking of screwing, does he have any kids?

**Lekatt** is to the SDMB as Bevets is to fark. They both have one issue that interests them, they have horrible websites, and they absolutely don’t listen to any arguments.

Does anyone get to make weird assertions on any topic? Is there no burden of proof in Great Debates?

If so… what’s to keep people with rather tin-foil hattish ideas who want to prolifically espouse their ideas? When is it ok to not have evidence? And not feel a need to provide any?

Right now… it looks like thread-shitting. And as tolerant as I am with disagreement, I DO think we should be able to expect reasoned discourse.
