frustratedpilot"It is rumored that Susano told the Marxist Chihuahua: 'Gorditas are fine, but I believe tacos are best served LIVE!'"--Tepid 8:06
"The revolution will be televised--whether it happens, or not."--Tepid 8:07
"For a fanboy, Manhattan is about as real as the Tokyo in 'Godzilla' movies."--Tepid 8:08
"Destiny and me are not on speaking terms."--Tepid 8:09
"Leave his test tube out of this."--Tepid 8:10
"I plan my impulse purchases well in advance."--Tepid 8:11
"Frankly, a trooper who was at street level for the Tet Offensive 33 years ago still doing Mary Lou Retton-variety acrobatics with a full kit of weapons today strikes me as highly implausible." Tepid 8:12
"The Apocalypse is running out of Horsemen. I'm Famine, by the way. Awaiting the tribulation like the rest of you..." Tepid 8:13
"Who's my enemy? My good credit."--Tepid 8:16
"Well, that's Government-contracted hardware for you."--Tepid 8:17
"Sexuality is the Opiate of the Internet."--Tepid 8:23
"The only two people to ever call me 'attractive' have been my older sister and a homosexual man. So please understand my utter loathing for the Internet's fixation with sexuality."--Tepid 8:27
"By the way, you CAN buy an Edsel at a Ford dealership. It just happens to be called a 'Crown Victoria' now."--Tepid 9:11
"No offense, but every time I see 'God Bless America' somewhere, I read it as 'Sieg Heil!' And every time I do, I feel that much less of an American."--Tepid 9:13
"The more I hear George W. Bush speak about good and evil, the more I'm convinced he's evil."--Tepid 9:16
"Do you mean to say that it is our patriotic duty to shoot anybody who runs for high office? I could go for that. Of course the Secret Service and the F.B.I. might have other ideas. Ulysses Grant was shot at. He won a war for us. But he couldn't run America worth a darn."--Tepid 9:18
"I want some positive proof that a few million more dead Americans is a Bad Thing. Because if you go by the advertising, the American nation is the most deserving of genocide there has ever been."--Tepid 9:19
"I've had it up to my kuwagata with reruns of 'The Andy Griffith Show'."--Tepid 9:20
"Then again I always thought that theater in Gibsonia was really part of a parallel universe."--Tepid 9:24
"The guys in the blue suits from Clearwater told me they were looking for you. I told them that you said they don't exist. They weren't too happy to hear it. Then I showed them the existential door."--Tepid 9:25
"How much comfort would you think I'd expect to get from a God that others persist in using as a weapon against me?"--Tepid 9:26
"It takes a village but we don't build those anymore--we build endless sprawls of buildings that mean absolutely nothing to one another. We need neighborhoods but we don't build those anymore either--we build huge tracts of houses that mean absolutely nothing to one another."--Tepid 9:27
"I ruminate, but I don't feel the need to react to what I'm ruminating."--Tepid 10:01
"I hate to be proven wrong in such a manner. But I must accept the proof."--Tepid 10:03
"You can tell them that laymen have never heard of a famous re-enactor. Most laymen have never heard of famous model builders or famous role play gamers or famous animation fans either. But the way people act they are legends in their own mind. Not you nor me. We wanted Super Dimensional lives; we got Rumik World lives. The Almighty can be a hack writer at times--and we have no control over the Script."--Tepid 10:09
"I think I saw a coffee nixie hovering over my mug yesterday. She disappeared before I could ask her anything. Maybe she was trying to tempt me into drinking another cup."--Tepid 10:13
"There are times when I think of the area of the Nation I'm in now as Rebellum or The Confederacy--as much of the time I look at the place and think I'm in the wrong country. Not wrong State...wrong country."--Tepid 10:24
"No Anti-tank rocket launcher...a big hand grenade is okay, but no rocket launcher."--Tepid 10:31
"Beware the Zealots, for while they may believe in a great many things, there is one thing they will never believe in: life, liberty, justice or mercy for anybody other than themselves."--Tepid 11:03
"I'm sure there are many people who go through their lives in ignorance of their own desires."--Tepid 11:07
"Did I ever mention the time I saw Cobra Commander? I lead such a weird existance. I've held Cthulu in my lap, and embraced the Serpent. Maybe I like (science-fiction) because it's a step closer to normality than I am."--Tepid 11:09
"One question we never ask ourselves often enough is 'where did this come from?' 'How did it wind up on my store's shelves?' 'Will it be here again next week?' After Lebanon Baloney, I take little for granted as a consumer."--Tepid 11:10
"For the price of hiring one American worker in America an industrialist can hire fifteen Chinese workers in China. Remember that next time you shop at Wal-Mart."--Tepid 11:17
"Will we end up talking about the leather again?"--Tepid 11:24
"I'd suck as a Muslim and be even worse as a Jew. I wouldn't last a day as a Hindu and I don't think I'd work out as a Buddhist either. So I'm pretty much stuck with being Christian. Not that I'd recommend it to anybody."--Tepid 12:04
"I am already knight, fallen."--Tepid 12:21
"I don't think there could ever be a purely 'humanistic' nor a purely 'technocratic' society. We are slaves to our human nature, and part of our human nature is to ask questions and go about trying to answer them (or put another way, have problems and go about trying to solve them)...science. Technology is just a fancy word for 'tools'. Humans are distinct from the animal kingdom because of our use of tools. Are you afraid that the tool will wind up using the person who made it? Is that the 'technocratic' society you speak of? Or just a new emergence of 'haves' and 'have-nots' based on the tools a side does or does not possess?"--Tepid 12:22
"I only believe in God because of Fermat's Wager. But I live in fear that on Judgment Day I will lose on a technicality."--Tepid 12:23
"Believing in God because of Fermat's Wager is only invites God to bestow upon the believer the ultimate Booby Prize."--Concordance to Tepid 12:23
"I would rather build the Heavens than wait for them."--Tepid 12:24
"I guess now I really am too old to enjoy pop culture. Nothing at all seems 'new' to me."--Tepid 12:25
"The revolution will be televised--whether it happens, or not."--Tepid 8:07
"For a fanboy, Manhattan is about as real as the Tokyo in 'Godzilla' movies."--Tepid 8:08
