Vahid Tarzan, I was following along with you all the way with the danger of the fluff, temporal fractures, radiation in Denver, cancer-causing power lines. But your comment about homosexuals is where you lose me. How are we dangerous, and what are we whispering? And what do we have to do with pedophiles? ---

Just as a public service announcement, I’ve noticed that the security guys on Sacramento light rail cars never ask the crazy guy if he has a ticket. I concluded that there is a requirement to have one crazy guy per car the day I personally witnessed the changing of the crazy guys. Speaking in Tongues exited the front of the car at exactly the stop that Word Salad entered in the back. The security guy nodded. The guy who kept talking about how hard the various prisons he’s been in are just kept on going. The security guy had checked his ticket, so he was superfluous to requirements. The times I checked the link in the OP, the Denver counts were 20 and 25. So harking back to July must be nostalgia for Japanese threats from the past or to typos from the volunteers. I was going to send my son a geiger counter to get a backup reading, in case the volunteer was leaving his counter next to the salt substitute or the Coleman ™ lantern, but those suckers turned out to be pricey. Even the one that Amazon marked down was too much. So no double clicks for Denver. Carry on. ---

> [@Autolycus](#): > > So what you’re saying is that my choice is “or death?” Well, I’ll have the chicken, then, please. The OP reminds me of the Time Cube guy. I think a corollary of **Yllaria** ’s observation is that there always must be a Loose Associations poster on every topic. ---

> [@Vahid\_Tarzan](#): > > I have no words but woes for the horrible mess the human animal has made of this world. We should be in universal agreement about that. The economy, big business… The greatest tragedies seem aimed at the poor and Joe tax slave. When I walk my dogs at night I see people trying so hard to make a nice life for their family, and yet powerlines strung directly over their children’s bedrooms to cook them slowly while they sleep. So many lies, there is only my hope that a wild concoction of radiation and lightning will kill them all to have mercy on my conscience. I gotta think think the worst off of the people of which you speak have it so much better than the people of earlier times - not to mention early man. These people have medicine, easy access to food, longer life spans… the list is almost endless. I’ll take the power lines and the conveniences they bring (as well as any harmful effects) over not having power any day. ---

Helter Skelter in a summer swelter The birds flew off with a fallout shelter Eight miles high and falling fast It landed foul on the grass The players tried for a forward pass With the Jester on the sidelines in a cast * * * You know, I’d always thought that it was: Landed - POW! - on the grass. Mildly disappointing. But probably more significant. ---

> [@Kolga](#): > > You realize that my line is from that bit, right? I know Izzard says that maybe a minute into the clip, and assumed you were referencing it since the wording was the same, but I thought I would take one step back and be more obvious and link to the clip. Yeah, I still haven’t figured out that if you have to explain the joke…😉 ---

I think Gene Ray also made some comments about homosexuals and whatnot. If he starts saying we are Educated Stupid, we know we’ve got our man.
