Yeah, that’s the one.
Probably blame Fegelein for something, the poor bastard.
All right, I’ll look the other way this once if you pinkie promise not to annex anything else. After all, everyone needs a little lebensraum now and then, amirite?
Agreed. Besides, we could use him against the Commies. Sure, he’s a right bastard, but he’s our right bastard, aren’t you Mr. Hitler ?
Whoa. My wife and I had a houseguest that week, so I missed that one. I’ve only made it through about half of it, but I notice he kept fixating on a “thing” he was saving money for that was necessary to realize his ambitions.
Somebody spoil it for me:Was it an orbiting Death Ray?
True story: my grandmother was getting all genealogical and shit back in the day. My brother and I were ages about 13 & 12 the summer that Grandmother discovered a connection to Hitler’s maternal ancestors. That became the summer of the Uncle Adolph joke. The conceit was always “maybe he’s alive and well and living in Argentina or something.”
“Mommy, Mommy! It’s Uncle Adolph, and look what he’s brought!”
A GI Joe and a six man microwave.
Soap and molars and lampshades.
Some lovely striped pajamas. And leibensraum. (sp?)
et cetera.
We were odd, nerdy teenagers. That was the same summer that I broke my foot, by way of being trampled by a clumsy horse… perhaps the universe’s way of saying “God doesn’t like ugly.”
No, the Germans fought the war for lebensraum (living room), because they found themselves just too crowded in the den and the kitchen. This discontent led to the Beer Hall Putsch, so called because, even in the Beer Hall, it was very crowded and everybody kept putsching and tschoving.
You know who else used to stop people talking about things he didn’t want them talking about? :rolleyes:
C.S. Lewis.
Michael Douglas?
Church of Scientology?
Bite your typing-fingers! You mean the Church of Happyology!
You aren’t missing a thing. Lots of internet addicts seem to exist in an adolescent Dungeons and Dragons fantasy state, including a love/hate obsession with dictators. IMHO it’s one of the tiresome things about internet culture.
Shut up, BrainGlutton. :rolleyes:
Hey, what’s with the Clive Staples slams lately? He could out-think 99% of all Theists (and many of us here?). On topic, Hitler would’ve sneered at him.
BTW, he died 50 years ago yesterday… which is why nobody really noticed.
You say that like it’s impressive.
A triple first at Oxford, philosophy tutor, Fellow at Magdalen College - I think he’d kick a mighty lot of ass intellectually, including those atheists who seem to think that merely believing in a God makes the believer automatically retarded.
Thanks. I missed that thread. Half of it’s a tribute to Huxley and Lewis (I’m ignoring BrainGlutton’s thread-sharting), and the other half’s high-larious:
