Lots and lots of silliness this week.
But first are bits from a long drawn-out
about the Bush administration and the
Iraq War. I printed just the name calling.
Even then I stopped short as it became
redundant:

Just the facts:

Gypsyjo47: Nag it is the truth...you ignore the truth
NAGUAL4A: thats a blatant lie
NAGUAL4A: gypsy that is a provable lie
NAGUAL4A: right and the few we DO know always seem to show
how the republicans are sleazy liars
NAGUAL4A: and as I just said all those lies have now been
methodically refuted
NAGUAL4A: Few members of the house or senate had the REAL
information....most had only the LIES of the chimp admin to
base a decision on
Swede da lo: "What's really in your hot cocoa?"
NAGUAL4A: gypsy that is a provable lie
Swede da lo: is a provable lie a blatant lie?
NAGUAL4A: so gypsy just lied AGAIN
NAGUAL4A: you really are insane
Asia7384: obvious lies

A child left behind:

Prospect26: My high school school English teacher
still believes that I have a novel in me.


Prospect26: People with full body tatoos often
feel "cold."

Pen (not penis) chat:

History69: I'm dying to buy a Montblanc .... if the
deal I dream of comes through, I will give myself
that gift
Catpower777: Hist -- a fountain pen?
History69: yes
History69: love those pens
Catpower777: I use disposable fountain pens so I don't
have to change the ink
History69: I've tried cheaper pens and the touch is
just not good
Swede da lo: microsoft word saves me money on ink.
Catpower777: oh, I'm not trying to discourage you --
you should treat yourself
History69: Allen Ginsberg always wrote with fountain pens
... one reason his shirt pockets were always stained
Swede da lo: prepare for court cases.
Prospect26: How many of you write with fountain pens?
Swede da lo: i write with a calligraphy pen.
History69: not me ... waiting for the Mont BlancDoc

Doc Whew: so i can write rxs faster
BinxB91: I once wrote a letter while sitting next to
a fountain
Doc Whew: if i use a ball point slows me down

it out ... might buy another
one of those in the mean time
Belovedmy: I once threw pen(nies) into a fountain
History69: till the day I can afford the Mont Blanc
Doc Whew: i once found ten pennies
Doc Whew: in a fountain
Doc Whew: does that make cents?

Silliness:

girl who is built

Applauding Women:

History69: I'm not criticizing men nor applauding women ...
Doc Whew: i am criticizing men who dont applaud
Catpower777: Hist, I think you should
History69: I was only trying to help solve the puzzle of why
it is so rare for women to be peeping toms
Doc Whew: they have to give the clap
History69: Cat, I should applaud women and criticize men?
Belovedmy: Maybe women are just better at it and don't get
caught...
Catpower777: Hist, it's important to both sexes.
But Women don't have to be peeping toms because men will
strip whenver and wherever

NAGUAL vomits:

NAGUAL4A: These "9/11 memorials " are beginning to nauseate me

episcopalian minister reciting some crap she wrote about 9/11

key suspects in the war on terror, President Bush acknowledged
Wednesday.
Fezziwhig: Though Bush said the United States never tortures
suspects, "alternative" interrogation methods are used to glean
information from them.

Fezziwhig: They kept playing the score from Oklahoma over and
over again


Cultural Sensitivity:

NAGUAL4A: Cause I'll slap the dot right off his damn head
BinxB91: NAGUAL getting carded at 7-11?
NAGUAL4A: anyway....hindus are polytheists..and hence pretty
much pagans
Duwamish Head: ok, well, at any rate, I think Ill put you on
ignore now...
BinxB91: Pagans? You mean they can read minds?
Fezziwhig: I wonder if a ten year old can buy liquor at a
7Eleven if he tells the owner that this is his fourth life

Guess who WASN'T there:

MatteeMattel: i just found the ppl i met here the other
day to be uh...well, kind hearted, even
MatteeMattel: but, many rooms don't have the caliber of
intellect that one assumes to be in the Shelf.
