(also, living where I do, "freaks" is more or less a descriptive, or even a compliment, rather than an insult. I'm really not joking.)

People don't recognize the symptoms of pernicious mind-control when they see it.

Not when prefaced by 'you' it's not. 'You freaks' sets up an 'I'm okay you're not okay' separation.

Maybe you should read it in context.

(reads it in context)

Nevermind, that helps your point.

Well with that, I will just fall back on "it's part of the whole HellHost schtick to act like people in general are a waste of good breathable air" to explain why I would hop on you and not Comet. You're supposed to be the king of noblesse oblige.

Which brings up another point: when you've just got done seeing a pic of someone's 75-year-old bone china sitting atop a hand-crafted Battenburg lace tablecloth in their if-you-have-to-ask-you-can't- afford-it old money mansion, and then you click tabs to see that same someone leaning down from atop Mt. Olympus to decide who the losers are-- well, let's just say that it might provoke in me a round of heckling. Knee-jerk,mindless, sheer envy-based heckling.

But then I would be in full posession of the facts, which - as a member of the Conservative Party - I try to avoid lest it take away from my morally advantageous position amongst the heavens, or from my enjoyment in the mocking of fellow members of humanity.

I can't see it being a spoof. There's a history across the internet going back several years. I think Em is just acknowledging that some people find her ideas laughable. She's really rather gracious about it.

But there are other clues to the probable source of her theories in her posts.

Doesn't work, Thyme, though I appreciate the concern. She's had published books and blogs out there for yonks, going on about this stuff, long before she joined us here. The Curious Buddhist hoax was a prepared set-up, of course, but the story was only told here.

So far as that specific quote is concerned, it reads to me more like a defensive "I'll be serious for as long as you are being serious" i.e. have you asked a real question, or are you just having me on?

YMMV of course! Part of the fun of this place.

Fair cop. "brothers and sisters" was bullshit. Minions would be better. I may be a freak - no question, really - but I'm the Empress of Freaks. My pretense at equality was just that.

Hmm, freaks and weirdos. I have on vinyl, Joe Walsh from the Eagles, doing The Greeks Don't Want No Freaks which also contains the song Theme from Boat Weirdos. I think it's all the drugs everyone did back then, which are now taken generally by prescription, but by all the wrong people.

A quote is probably worth it, given the name of the dance, freaks and weirdos, and that there are lots of Boat Weirdos on this ship.

quote:
from my memory, Greeks Don't Want No Freaks
There was beer all over the dance floor
The band was playing rhythm and blues
We were doing the gator and half an hour later
you were barfing all over your girlfriend's shoes

Hands up everyone who knows how to do the gator.

If you're bored, then you're boring. Simples.

Though, frankly, I'd pay large sums of money to be bored lately. This being interesting shit can get exhausting. No wonder all the cool kids in high school burned out in their early 20's.

Sadly, I find Emily boring. Guano from flying rodents has pretty limited potential for being interesting. Unless you mix it with diesel fuel and add fire.

In aid of boring you, Rook:

-- A descendant of ye olde Big Red Button That Doesn't Do Anything. [Smile]

--From my own list of boring, the Summa Theologica, courtesy of the Sacred Texts site. (Actually, it also gives me a headache, and incites me to run away screaming. You have been warned!) YMMV.

-- Watching and making online snowflakes at Snowdays isn't boring, but it is calming.

Always be wary of red buttons, especially in boring old Belgium.

I clicked. God helped me, I clicked. And now all I can think about is, if Mars is only 12 miles in diameter--who gives a fuck?

At 12 miles across, I'd recommend a black silk top hat, which will contrast favourably with the red face / planet. Perhaps a trilby or homberg at weekends.
