The Case Against Rock and Roll Church

Fugee/Manfred,

Any "ceremony", be it a graduation, a wedding, a funeral, etc... bores me to tears. I don not like anything (other than a movie or music) which requires me to be quiet and sit patiently for more than 45 minutes. That's my rule - anyone is free to bore me for 45 minutes, but after that, I'm gone. And being a Deist, I don't feel I need to be in any Church/Synagogue/Mosque to connect with the allmighty. Frankly, the five bucks I give to the guy begging on the way to the work every now and again is probably a lot more productive and spiritually healthy than listening to a pile of tired old hymms and watching the pious masquearade about in their Sunday finest.

Life's short. I could get hit by a bus today. Why would I want to waste 45 min of non-work time being bored. If I ain't making some money, enjoying myself or helping others doing something, there's no reason to do it. Ceremonies seem to be stage shows for the common man. I say only those who can entertain should hold the stage. The common man is in the audience for a reason.

S(If I ain't stimulated somehow, it ain't worth my time)D

In all cases, you should be funny.

You can't just do random, if funny, links, and expect the funniness to be attributed to you. It's just not right. It's not the FB way. And it's stealing.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OMG. so many rules. so many rules. Is there a treatise I can buy?
Can't I just worship Thrasher in all her worshipfulness? Do I have to be funny too?

Edited to add Hey, at least I had a Monty Python quote. Isn't that something? Can I be the all things Monty Python sock instead?
I can't believe that I missed all of this. I finally get elevated to a somewhat PLiFfy level and have a freaking sock of my very own and I miss it. I kept wondering why I had a thrilling little tickle in my tummy around this time last night -- it was the FB collectively thinking of me. Oh, swoon. I love you all, too. Okay, not all, but I don't hate any of you -- because to hate would be to presume that I care enough to have a feeling and for some, well, that just don't happen. You like me, you really, really like me.

Carry on. Pre-season hockey starts tomorrow -- YAY!

Hey -- Get in line, sister. Those of us who have long been captivated by Atticus's particular brand of magic* do NOT take lightly any manner of effort to encroach upon our territory (restraining order notwithstanding). You've been warned (and I know karate!).




*OK, so maybe it's just me, but still.... wear it proud! No head-hanging necessary.

Paigs,

With all due respect, why do you think anyone gives a flying fuck what you'd prefer not to read about? Also, I've been prone to egomania at times, but in what state of megalomania does one come to the conclusion that the boards would give a shit about who is and who isn't on any one poster's ignore list? It seems to me that by advising the world of who's on one's ignore list, the ignorer defeats the very purpose of the ignore feature, which is to discreetly be able to avoid reading certain people's posts. By inciting discussion of the posts/poster one seeks to avoid, the ignorer perpetuates the offending discussion. This leads to the unavoidable conclusion that the ignorer is not really interested in ignoring anyone, but instead trying to focus the conversation on who or what the ignorer is ignoring. Ironically, that's a very dull topic which should be ignored.

S(so today's discussion will be what? hairy nipples?... just kidding)D
With all due respect, why do you think I give a shit about what others think? This is shit I dont want to read, and I am expressing it. If you dont like it, feel free to put me on ignore. THats why its there. So make me laugh or shut the fuck up.

You know, I would ignore Paigow myself, if it weren't for posts just like this. It's sort of like watching the head cheerleader from high school get fat, pregnant, addicted to qualudes, and live in a trailer in the year or two after graduation.

A part of you wants to feel pity for her, a part of you has this "I can't look away from the bloody freeway accident" curiosity, a part of you feels its so justified, and a part of you just laughs and laughs.

Was Paigow just a schoolyard bully or did years of having her Big Wheel swiped by kids bigger than her turn her into the grown-up equivalant? Enquiring minds don't really give a shit, but I thought I'd put it out there.

It's a good thing we have avatars, or I would have misattributed this.

That's my line, dear. And you haven't been living up to it.

S(And it strains credulity to suggest that you don't care what people think - otherwise you wouldn't put yourself on such prominent disply... now, bag the reality shit and post something stimulating)D

You know, picking on Paigow for dullness is unfair. This whole board's been dull as hell. Even a flame war would be better than the perpetual discussions of banal dating dilemnas and reality television, peppered with a clever Atticus post every now and again. And I'm a chief offender here - when I'm bored, I default to vitriolic rants. Please... someone, please, post something, anything titilating... something about thongs, wierd sex stories, bad hookups, some truly wierd story from the net... anything...

S(I might have to go back to posting news stories about finding Jimmy Hoffa's head in a tuna off New Jersey or Chinese farmers breeding St. Bernards for food if things get any lower...)D

I vote for that chain-smoking old biddy who played a bailiff on Night Court. I am catching up and hoping that nobody has voted for this one already.

Sex joke? When it actually happens, it's a anecdote.
