A Clever Puppy Who Yips Loudly In Restaurants

To save some of you the time you appear to be taking:

Q: If I’m blocked for doing/attempting to do anything at all naughty to the website, how long will it be before I become un-blocked?

A: Hmmm…well, assuming I live another 40-45 years, whoever inherits this site might lift the ban…then again they may not. So let’s go with 40-45 years…but I can’t GUARANTEE that.

From My Review Of ‘Babe’

I can’t resist a wry smile when two groups are presented, both of whose opinions are narrated with complete neutrality, both of whom prove to be wrong. It’s an obvious reference to “ism”‘s of any kind (Sex, Race, Etc…) as being, above all else, stupid. It’s quite clever and, to quote a wise (fictional) being – “I do, in fact, agree with it.”

And then…

“You know, I don’t know what y’all believe and I don’t really care.” – Bill Hicks

Assuming this person – who I was in contact with, but am not now – actually gave a fck about me, and I wasn’t simply a curiosity; an amusing toy to play with and then throw away…a final, vaguely regretful message:

“Honors English, (X) was a BRILLIANT student…like you. But (X) hung out with simple-minded fools…also, like you.”

“…(X) you are too d@mn smart to be floating around here pretending you don’t see all the holes in this bullsh1t…”

“…I’m tired of feelin’ pissed off. I’m just tired of it.”

Merry Fcken Christmas.

It’s absurd…I mean, there are people that will refuse to watch/listen to BRILLIANT works of art SIMPLY BECAUSE they have religious references/connotations. Come on, man…

A short list of songs we’d never hear again if extreme antitheism won:

“Dream On”
“Stairway To Heaven”
“Hotel California”
“Sweet Home Alabama”
“Baba O’Riley”
“Won’t Get Fooled Again”
“Like A Rolling Stone”
“Gimme Shelter”
“House Of The Rising Sun”
“My Sweet Lord”

Three quotes to end:

“I mean I really don’t give a fck whether it’s about religion or not. I don’t give a fck what their belief is, or is not. All I care about is: is this something I enjoy listening to, for musical and/or lyrical reasons? As for the rest…who gives a fck? If your hatred of religion is so extreme and invasive that you can’t enjoy GREAT music because of it, that’s your loss; and you’re an idiot if you can’t see that.” – Me

“Here’s the thing with me and the religious thing. This is the flat-out truth: I find the religiosity and philosophy in the music. I don’t find it anywhere else. Songs like ‘Let Me Rest on a Peaceful Mountain’ or ‘I Saw the Light’ – that’s my religion. I don’t adhere to rabbis, preachers, evangelists, all of that. I’ve learned more from the songs than I’ve learned from any of this kind of entity. The songs are my lexicon. I believe the songs.” – Bob Dylan

“Rock ‘n’ roll is everybody’s f—-n’ music…I think that’s where God and the devil shake hands – right there.” – Neil Young

FAIR USE: CRITICISM – A good, sharp-mocking MST short.

This is getting boring (see previous clips) and monotonous! (see Curly from the Stooges) so here’s an idea…I’m gonna see if the DDOS attack – designed to prevent people from accessing my site – generates over 10,000 hits today.

My point in doing this would be to display the logic of Crusading Antitheism. Because, OF COURSE, the point of this DDOS attack is purely logical.

They simply want to achieve a desired result.

There is NO emotion behind it whatsoever. It is an utterly and completely logical, emotionless tactical maneuver.

Total Hits: 8,850 (My GOD this is gonna be close!!!)

Again, to emphasize…ABSOLUTELY no emotion or illogic…ABSOLUTELY none…and when I say “none”, well…see as follows:

FAIR USE: CRITICISM – Shiver me timbers, this is a good clip!

No, No, I SWEAR! This is NOT orchestrated to get hits! There REALLY ARE people trying to DDOS my site! You can’t blame me for their incompetence.

Quick Note: Now, *I* cannot claim the same purity of logic as the DDOS attackers. You see, they are purely logical, unemotional beings…whereas *I* am laughing my a$$ off. My weakness, I admit.

For those wondering what this experience of being under DDOS attack is like, I think it’s fairly similar to this:

Ok, so, I’d just like to say hello to all the completely logical, unemotional CA/A’s who couldn’t care less about my views…and, I want to say something else…and I don’t want you to take this the wrong way…but you’re not very GOOD DDOS attackers, are you?

FAIR USE: CRITICISM – Really good clip. I’ve always wondered why T. Jones has an egg on his head in the sketch “program” intro.

Ok, so, reviewing this DDOS attack…ummmmm…it was kind of weird and scary at first…but, well…

FAIR USE: CRITICISM – Great Palin/Jones bit (with Gilliam acting NOT HORRIBLY!!!) that lingers throughout the episode.

Ok, so apparently there’s a LOT of puppies out there. I mean…a LOT.

A LOT!!!

– Puppy >.< Yip!

If you’re gonna try to talk to me – and I don’t know you – allow me to display how *I* feel about BS and propaganda.

FAIR USE: CRITICISM – Very good scene from a great movie. Displays what I consider an admirable attitude toward BS.

Message: If you have something to say, say it. If you BS/prop, it’s not gonna have ANY better chance of a positive outcome for you; at best, it will have no influence whatsoever so you’re just being a colossal moron by wasting your time (and mine).

“Mr. Ambassador, you have nearly a hundred naval vessels operating in the North Atlantic right now. Your aircraft has dropped enough sonar buoys so that a man could walk from Greenland to Iceland to Scotland without getting his feet wet. Now, shall we dispense with the bull?”

“Good, honest…hatred. Very refreshing.”

Is it just me, or does “zombie hand” from Subeta look like Palin’s first hand in the “Man Who Contradicts People” sketch?

FAIR USE: CRITICISM – I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again…the Devil can play a good tune.

If the BEST that climate change deniers can do is to point out in
“See??? Nyah nyah nyah!” fashion that 97 percent is not the PRECISE number for scientists that (insert level of belief in climate change, man’s role in climate change, available proof of man’s role in climate change, etc…) believe…please – you’re giving me deja vu to the days when cigarettes weren’t “absolutely proven” to be bad for you.

We – along with scientists and cigarette companies – knew cigarettes were bad for you LONG BEFORE it was “proven”. Come on…gimme a break.

The only thing the “proof” delay proved is that scientists are humans, and like getting huge piles of cash from X to say/not say something.

AND:

One of my favorite bits of antitheist nonsense is the antitheist’s version of the religious refrain that “the only people who are truly saved are X” where X = a specific religion, as supplied by resident antitheist truth-teller (well, sort of) Penn Jillette:

“The only people with true morality are us, the atheists.”

What you mean “us”, illusionist?

As for 97 percent not being the precise number for “scientists who believe climate change is happening and is significantly influenced by man”, perhaps…

But that’s only because some scientists:
– Haven’t stated such a belief and/or
– Are the same “See, it’s fine!” minority (and no matter WHAT stats you look at, they ARE in FACT a minority) that cigarette companies were able to pay enough to get away with poisoning peoples’ lungs DECADES after they KNEW they were doing so.

ALSO:

Why do these new Durex dancing tights go baggy at the…errr…nevermind.

BUT:

Here’s a good question: So, anything mentioning or referencing Nazi Germany in any way is automatically a logical fallacy…ummm…righhhtttt…

Here’s the thing: The reason mentioning Nazi Germany during an argument or debate, EVEN IF the reference is ABSOLUTELY CORRECT AND PRECISE, is a logical fallacy (supposedly) is:

It sheds an unfair or inappropriate light on X or Y, where X and Y are two sides to a debate or argument.

So, basically, this is saying “You cannot use propaganda to influence the outcome of a debate/discussion/etc.”

Which is a nice, cute little thought.

But think about it. Give it THE SLIGHTEST amount of thought.

A reference to Nazi Germany/Hitler/etc is an INCREDIBLY OBVIOUS prop move – even if it’s not meant that way.

So…you CANNOT use incredibly obvious propaganda, or it’s a logical fallacy (even if your point is, in fact, true)…BUT…

If you’re smart/manipulative enough to use NON-obvious propaganda to influence thought/outcome/etc…that’s fine?

Propaganda is propaganda. The “best” (that is to say, most effective) propaganda is NOT RECOGNIZABLE AS PROPAGANDA. It comes across as “fair” when it is, in fact, simply well-disguised propaganda.

So, it’s ok to use propaganda when it’s done subtly? If you can get away with a prop argument, it’s fine?

Bullsh1t. Write down all the “logical fallacy” descriptions, roll them up, throw them away, and just TALK…person to person, real to real.

Instead of making up all these rules, just stick with one, as paraphrased from Jim Carrey in ‘Liar Liar’:

(Exchange “breaking the law” with “trying to bullsh1t people”):

FAIR USE: CRITICISM – A good example of loud honesty.

Thank you.

First, let me apologize in advance for these ad nauseum DPT’s.

I’ve finally figured it out.

When quasi-intellectuals insert obligatory Latin and/or obligatory semi-“scientific” terminology into their otherwise normal English speech (verbal or written), it’s done for three reasons.

1 – It allows them to retain an aura of superiority, whether anything they say has any validity or not. The second has no intrinsic connection to the first, of course.

2 – They’ve studied certain programmed, computerized responses to certain specific things to such a point where they have in fact BECOME “computerized” to an extent; in much the same way that Diane Chambers (and I love Diane Chambers, but it is what it is) inserts random French words and phrases into her speech for no adequately explored reason other than she feels superior and is “demonstrating” her superiority by showing her advanced intellect; in fact, while certain very common words and phrases are actually part of normal English vernacular for most people, *most* of her “improvements” are both amusing and actively counter-productive…often noone else has the slightest idea what she’s talking about, and so in terms of communication, she is behaving in a most illogical fashion. If her point is to display superiority for no other reason than to say “ha ha I’m smarter than you are”, she succeeds. Else she fails, since to intentionally use phrasing that you know will INHIBIT communication is DAMAGING to the act of communication, serving no useful purpose other than the ego-padding of the speaker.

5) Dick Dawk is a c@ck. I would say the same about Chris Hitchens, but at this point he’s probably more accurately described as a pile of decaying organic matter in some state of decomposition that cannot be PRECISELY defined, but which probably has lost the complete set of twigs and berries.

He somehow found a way to coach the winningest team in NBA history to a Finals LOSS.

*I* could coach a team with Curry/Green/Thompson on it and have a winning season. Just ask Steph who he thought the rotation should be, nod, and then sit on the bench and watch.

I mean, if it’s gonna be “Coach Of The Team With The Winningest Record”, fine, but it should be properly named.

Kerr’s job is about as hard as K.C. Jones’ was. I mean, come on…it’s a fcken joke.

It’d be nice if more sportswriters actually had the guts to vote for who they REALLY thought COACHED the best…but that would require a lot more effort and analysis.

I mean, really, what did Kerr do? He put the best players in and made the occasional substitution.

I can’t remember the number of times an analyst (some pro-Celtics, some neutral) SPECIFICALLY commented on a great COACHING move that Brad Stevens was making/had made/etc…

Seriously, to all the voters, unless you’re getting paid to go with the flow, what’s the rationale here?

The equivalent logic would be:

The Baltimore Ravens won the Super Bowl in 2000. Therefore, Trent Dilfer was the best quarterback in 2000.

I mean, the Ravens DIDN’T RE-SIGN HIM AFTER HE WON THE SUPER BOWL. But, oh yeah, he was great.

“Game Manager” = Not very good, realizes and accepts that, and doesn’t try to do too much.

I guess if his team hadn’t LOST in the Finals, Steve Kerr would be a really really good “Series Manager”.

Come to think of it, I’m a pretty good “Cliche Manager”.
