[Spongebob Voice]We’ll be the best pirates EVER![/SV]
Do not let this person move in.
I once replaced a person like this… house with three people, one moving out, right? I was invited to the third person’s “going away party” so I could meet one of the people living there (the other was an old friend).
The person moving out backed me into a corner and burned away three hours of my life ranting at me about government conspiracies and coverups.
The upshot of his rant was this: The original “Star Trek” series was cancelled in 1969 because the government already HAD phasers, warp drive, transporters, and so on, and the moon shot had awakened the American people’s imagination to the point where they might BELIEVE it, if this information became public… so the government cancelled the TV show, to keep anyone from getting the idea that it was anything but fantasy.
I’m not kidding. That’s what this guy was telling me.
Later, after meeting the two people who were staying, they about begged me to take Fruitball’s place. They’d been putting up with his weirdness for much too long, and were looking forward to having a roommate who paid his bills on time and was capable of eating his breakfast without jabbering at them, nonstop, about time machines, dinosaurs, Nazi uberweapons, Area 51, and the Derro People of the Hollow Earth…
I proclaim myself Blasphmer the Beardless, now gather roud all ye wenches!
Up! Up! Up! Your Premiums!
Sail Away!
There is no spoon.
Well, that explains everything.
I got to ride on a bus to D.C. next to a guy from the John Birch society. He was amusing… ranting about homosexuality, how we should pull out of the U.N., how liberals were undermining society etc…
I smiled and nodded the whole trip… Easier to do that then end up in a debate with a whackjob for several hours. He mistook me for someone who gave a crap and gave me assorted magazines calling for a conservative takeover of society (all of which was tossed out quickly).
I waited until the end of the ride to tell him I was interested in Communism and Socialism and that “Communism is the doctrine of the conditions of the liberation of the prolitariat.” according to Engles.
Confused him greatly.
Ooh, I wanna be a pirate! Please?
Hey! I wanna be a pirate, too! Can we work in the South Seas, or in the Mediterranean, or in the Caribbean, or someplace else warm? I really don’t want to be sailing the Baltic or the Kamchatka Sea in winter.
If BellaDellaItalia and I become pirates, do I still have to finish my thesis?
Oh, and in re: the OP–don’t have this person as your roommate. Her weirdness might be amusing now, but, trust me–it’ll get old fast. I learned this from bitter experience. I lived in a vegetarian communal house for a year, and we had our share of total fruitcakes, loonie tunes, and general nutsos.

What is this John Birch society of which you speak? Are they a bunch of conspiracy theorists or something?
Their website says they’re a political lobby group. Is that it, or are they nuts or something?

I wanna be a pirate too, just like Bluto in Animal House.
Interesting that the John Birch Society book store is called AOBS (American Opinion Book Services).
Me, I’m a member of the Birch John Society - dedicated to wooden toilets.
Your prospective roomie is spewing disinformation, They moved the aliens out of Area 51 years ago, and are keeping them … erk …
I’ve been known to travel through two or three states just to get to and from work. It’s a horrible commute, but it’s the price you pay for keeping them off your trail.
I’m also fond of doing a bug sweep of my apartment any time I’ve been away for more than a day.
[irony]The resident advisor of my son’s dorm at college last year was named John Birch. A nicer young African American man you couldn’t meet. [/irony]
I have been known to cook up some great conspiracy theories myself in the past, but they are usually sarcastic, and come about while sitting with the guys having a beer or 12 after work…
The one whopper that sticks in my memory -9/11 was all a plot engineered to orchestrate an American takepver of Canada so they can have our resources for free.
And here I figured 9/11 was the single biggest example that Big Brother ISN’T that coordinated and DOESN’T know everything about everything everybody’s doing.
But heck, I WORK for the guvment, what do I know?
Well, if someone would remember to turn on the dishwasher once in a while, maybe there would be a spoon when you wanted one.
At my local library, once a month the Birch Society meets (they call it T.R.I.M.tax reform immdeiately)
Only 2 guys were ever there.
We went for about 9 months.
My son would read.
They showed movies (one about Katanga, one worldorder conspiracy stuff).
Just too…weird.
Even for me.
I believe some theories but …
And the leader was really grating,sure he was totally correct always,so smart,so in your face.
he even called Dennis Kucinich “a communist twerp”!:rolleyes:
You have resources?!
Quite a few, but the one we would bring up the most is our abundant supply of uranium in northern Saskatchewan, and our potash resources.
Yeah, hubby thinks the “do not call list” was really just a way to update the national phone book without a census. That’s why they repealed it so quick. It never really existed.
Don’t forget the oil/tar sands in Alberta. And everyone knows it was the Illumnati & Sanrio that pulled off the 9/11 attacks, to give Prime Minister Blair more power in England after they agreed to help the US, reducing the influence of the Queen, who is of course reptloid alien, who are are among the Illumnati’s worst enemies.
My favourite conspiracy theory of all time has to be the one about how the US made an offer to Pierre Trudeau to annex Canada, and to make it kosher, they offered $1 million per Canadian citizen, to be paid to each citizen. I’ve heard that one around the coffee shops from time to time still.
