“I’m blowing up all the touristy cheesesteak restaurants in Philly - except Pat’s! ” said Tom, committing genocide.
Now that is a crime against humanity!
I’ll give you some links and then you can go read your posts in those threads. Go to the threads, Ctrl F and search for Clothahump. It’s like William F. Buckley, Jr. but without the word padding:

It’s like Ogden Nash without rhyming.
You could collect these posts in a little book of sayings and sell them. They are like little gems from Nietzsche.
The " = " in your post is erroneous. The two spellings are (obviously!) not the same. One is the way he actually heads his posts, and the other isn’t.
Misspelling people’s names is a lapse in etiquette, at very least. I was wondering why you were engaging in the practice.

. . . if I see you out on the basketball court, running up and down with a trash can stuck on one foot and dribbling the ball against your face, I don’t have to be a scout for the Lakers to tell you the NBA would be better off without you.
Prime material for the Harlem Globetrotters!
For some reason, I read this as “If I were an asshole for the Lakers”.
They probably have bigger needs in the frontcourt.
Well, the Washington Generals at any rate.

I’ll be the first to admit I think Genocide totally rocks.
Welcome to the “disgusting piece of shit club”! (According to some folks who, unfortunately, have recently been subjected to a humorectomy.)
While I seldom shy away from a Clothahump roast, your comparisons to Buckley, Nietzsche, Nash, and the inestimable Curly Howard really are gilding the turd.
I realize we’re only on the cusp of September, but I’d like to be the first to formally nominate you for this year’s Adaher Prize for Excellence in the Art of Wrongness.

I thought tomndebb was a contraction for tom and debb. If that was an incorrect assumption and rude to boot, I apologize.
BTW, whats a trino?
That’s why I don’t think you guys read the links.

Why then do you have such a problem with my advocating fighting back for survival?

The point is simple: there is no authority in the Constitution for the federal government to implement Obamacare, Social Security or Medicare. Period.
And fuck you and the horse you rode in on with that “in their ideal society the poor and sick would be left to die in the streets” bullshit. In an ideal society, even fucking morons like you would understand that it is not the government’s place to provide healthcare or social security.
And on founding the Clothahump Academy:
I live in Houston, TX, which has one of the worst public school systems extant. I can’t do much, if anything, about HISD - I think it is broken beyond repair. I would like to offer an alternative and open a private, non-religious high school. We would stress excellence in academics, with a goal of all graduating seniors scoring 650+ on the SATs for example. We would also stress leadership and life skills as well. Every teacher would have a degree in the subject taught; no one with a degee in education will be hired, because I want teachers, not “educators”.
I realize that big bucks need to be raised to buy land and build a physical plant, etc. I’ve thought about approaching major corporations for grants and/or ongoing support, as well as applying for government grants. We would need a non-profit corp. set up, etc., so that people could make tax-deductible donations to us. We would have to jump through whatever hoops are required by the state and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to get accreditated properly.
At the moment, all I have is a dream. I’d like to make it a reality. The problem is that I haven’t really got a clue as to how to go about it. Anyone have any experience and/or suggestions as to how I can make it happen?
And all this is entirely straightfaced (as far as I can tell), like Bill O’Reilly or Stephen Colbert, but without being on the money train. It’s like a backyard BBQ when your Great Grand Uncle brings along his new middle aged stepson who gets drunk and spouts Hannity and Beck all day and is dead serious and GG Uncle is laughing his ass off.
Even if it’s completely correct, it’s still changing the spelling of someone’s name.
FWIW, Trinopus was a character in a book. I guess he created three “works” of some sort. Three poems, three paintings, three symphonies? I dunno.
Anyway, a digression, and bordering on ATMB material, so we can drop it.
