Sorry, gang, but just because it rhymes doesn’t mean it belongs in Cafe Society. I’m moving it to the Pit. And, **Brainglutton** , off-hand remarks about death or suicide are NOT acceptable. ---

[Mickey Moore](http://chaos.ph.utexas.edu/~mgmoore/) was a good friend of mine in high school. Startling to see him mentioned in a thread this way. And to find a page of his on the web to boot. So that’s what he’s doing now! There’s also this [Mickey Moore.](http://www.classicmoviekids.com/mooremickey.htm) Not the same guy. ---

😕😕 I can’t see how either of those – the nonlinear dynamics physicist Mickey Moore or the child actor Mickey Moore – could written a book relevant to . . . Oh, I get it! He meant **Michael** Moore! :smack: Come on, let’s have some more lyricizing! Just because we’ve been thrown out of CS doesn’t mean we can’t have some poetic/musical fun with this! 🙂 ---

> [@BrainGlutton](#): > > Oh, I get it! He meant **Michael** Moore! :smack: See, when the Bush Administration uses innuendo, deception, and half-truths to sell **almost every single one of their policies** and to get the public to make connections that don’t exist (like Saddam and Al Qaeda, Saddam and 9/11), that’s a good thing. But, when Michael Moore plays Bush’s game in a film by putting a bunch of true facts together that might admittedly lead people to make connections that may not exist, that is the moral equivalent of Naziism. It all makes perfect sense once you think about it, **Brain Glutton**. ---

I was going to use the music for Crazy Train by Ozzie Osbourne. But then, on reading the lyrics, I realized we don’t need to change a single letter. (No, I’m not quoting the entire thing. Just one verse.) _“I’ve listened to preachers I’ve listened to fools I’ve watched all the dropouts Who make their own rules One person conditioned to rule and control The media sells it and you live the role”_ Either that, or to the tune of “Kyle’s Mom is a Big Fat Bitch” from South Park: Uncut. _Weeeeeeeelllllllll… G.W.'s got a little dick, it’s the littlest dick in this whole world! To get over the fact that he’s got a little dick he bombs the shit out of the third world_ That’s all I’ve got so far. Needs work.
